Thank you for stopping by to check out this month's job postings for Highwind Hires — a freelance mercenary group!
JOB #1 — DRAGON RESCUE
With the infection in Wyver, a local dragon-nursery is in need of workers to help tend for sick dragons. They will need baths, feedings, and even surgery in some cases. Will you answer the call and provide the support Wyver needs in this trying time?
OUTCOMES:
- The nursery will pay you 100 silver for a day's work.
JOB #2 — REDEMPTION FOR FAMILY
An elderly woman named Vetmir has somehow got in contact with Highwind Hire, hoping to find her son's killer. Her son was murdered weeks ago by a former lover. The woman is hiding in The Old City, Alora, is often seen among the trading market near the evening making a living a drug trader.
OUTCOMES:
- Vetmir promises 140 silver with delivery of a locket her son gave Alora.
- Sparing Alora's life will earn you her side of the story, where she had to defend herself after a drunken encounter with Vetmir's son. This earns you 40 silver in appreciation and the locket, which nets you Vetmir's 140 silver if delivered back for a total of 180 silver.
JOB #3 — BONES FOR A CURE
Criny, a medicine woman is looking for a large supply of Puox bones from their camouflaged exterior. This crucial parts are needed to craft some potions to help relieve aches for the sick. While definitely not the cure, Puox is needing someone to travel to Murkwell Hollow and someone to help assist in potion making.
OUTCOMES:
- Anyone who brings her 6 bonespurs from Puox will receive 170 silver.
- People who help in potion making will receive 30 silver per potion with a maximum of 6 potions a day.
JOB #4 — SEARCH & RESCUE
Jillam, a street vendor, has not seen their fruit supplier in a few days. Worried they were lost in The Undergrowth, they are enlisting a search and rescue. Traveling to the Undergrowth will prove difficult — gather a small party for back up.
The vendor cart is abandoned with a broken axis, the fruit still good but the driver missing. Exploring further will allow the players to rescue Qun from a man-eating plant.
OUTCOMES:
- Anyone who participates in the search and rescue will receive 200 silver.
- Players can attempt repair the carriage and return the fruit back for cut of the food for free.
- Players who explore for the vendor will be able to fight a large man-eating plant similar to a venus flytrap with sentient vines. If Qun is rescued, you will receive an additional 100 silver.
Have fun! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me! These are all loosely based on your choices, so feel free to go wild with them. The outcomes only are indication of what the jobs would offer. If you're interested in having your character offer a job in the future, please let me know!
Aranea Highwind will ICly be contacting characters and offering them jobs based off the assumption she will receive 30% of the cut. Due to the change in settings, Aranea has waved her fee and is allowing people to keep the full cut of the payment to help them get on their feet.

He's kind of built like a twig, but he manages to heave the guy up and start moving with him. He pauses briefly and calls over his shoulder to Reinhardt,
"You good for a minute?"
no subject
He sees the man get lifted and he sets his feet. He throws another fire strike. He needs to build up a charge, get some momentum going before he can even try and see if Earthshatter would even work in a jungle on a living plant. "Ja. I have this. I'll hold it off. You get him safe and then we'll finish this thing together!" He then yells a war cry and launches himself at the plant, hoping that ZerO will take the man far enough away that he isn't threatened again. And also hoping that he'll come back. He fights better in a team.
no subject
Reinhardt is doing a fantastic job of distracting the plants, so Zer0 has a relatively easy time of finding a good hiding place for the poor unconscious guy. Once he's sure the guy will be safe, Zer0 makes his way back to Reinhardt, weaving through vines and chopping them down as he goes. It takes him a few minutes to navigate through the murder jungle. He doesn't really announce his return, but he does leap up onto Reinhardt's back, and from there launches himself into some incoming vines to slice through them. Sup boy?
no subject
"We need to find the head!" Did plants have heads? Well, it had to because it had been about to eat someone. So sure, it must. Everything dies when you take the head. So that's what he's hoping this time.
"I'll keep hitting it with my fire strikes." If only because he doesn't know how an Earth Shatter would work in a jungle on a plant. He's just going to trust his sword wielding teammate.
no subject
He's about to say something like 'do plants even have heads', but nothing else that's happened lately really makes much sense so he would totally buy this plant having some kind of head.
"I'll try to get closer. Cover me." It was a risky move even if Zer0 was good at chopping things, but they weren't going to make much progress unless they got up in this thing's grill. Reinhardt seemed to be pretty experienced in the art of watching someone's back, so Zer0 felt pretty good about his odds. As soon as he spots an opening in the mass of vines, he charges in.
no subject
The point is that ZerO needs him to do what he does best. That's provide some sort of cover. And while his barrier won't do much against a bunch of angry vines of a hungry plant-thing, his hammer and his fire strike do. "On it!" He sees that hole that ZerO made and goes right on in after him, swinging away with his hammer, the fire doing much to make the vines recoil for the moment.
"If we find the head, I might be able to stun it for a second so you can finish it." He yells, voice full of laughing enjoyment. Someone clearly loves his job.
no subject
Reinhardt is just a delight to work with, he sounds like he's having the time of his life. It's kind of adorable, in a 'gigantic old man that could rip you in half' sort of way.
"Understood." Zer0 doesn't sound quite as amused, but he does flash a brief ' :D ' in front of his faceplate. This is probably the most fun he's had since his arrival and he is absolutely going to have to work with this guy again.
But first they have to kill a plant. Now that he's gotten closer, Zer0's able to follow the vines to their origin point, and boy howdy that sure is a bigass venus flytrap. He chops a few more vines out of Reinhardt's path and quickly ducks out of the way.
"Over there, straight ahead!"
no subject
He rushes behind ZerO as the way is cleared. He has a good path now and waits for the other to get the heck out of the way. He doesn't want ZerO to get caught up in the wake of what he's about to try. "As soon as it's stunned, cut right though it's...stem? Neck? Whatever that is?" Because really, what is man-eating plant anatomy.
And he's not even sure if this will work. But by god he's going to try. So he rushes in, taking a huge leap. "Hammer...DOWN!!" The huge hammer slams hard into the ground. So hard that the jungle ground actually shakes and shatters, spreading forward from the hit. It must have reaches to the roots because for a second, the plant seems to freeze, the vines all falling. "NOW!!"
no subject
As soon as Reinhardt gives the order, Zer0 charges in, navigating the shattered ground and mess of fallen vines like a pro. He zeros in
heyooooon the stem-neck thing, diving in close and slicing clean through in one fluid movement. The plant makes some... kind of plant noise?? as it hits the ground.Aaaand it looks like the plant monster has been vanquished!!! Huzzah. Zer0 pokes it with his sword, and then gives Reinhardt a thumbs up.
no subject
He wipes his bow with the back of his hand and slings his hammer over one shoulder to join the swordman. "I hope everyone back in Wyver likes salad." Because of course Reinhardt is going to see if this thing is edible. With food being as short as it is, it's not going to hurt to try. So he's just going to grad the severed trap and start dragging it back to where they left the man and his cart.
"I'll have to have you watch my hammer once we get to the cart." Because Reinhardt is going to pull it back.
no subject
You can eat all the jungle monster plant thingy you want, big guy. Zer0's gonna pass. He jogs ahead a bit and retrieves the poor unconscious guy out from whatever bush he'd hid him under or whatever, and like half drags/half carries him back towards the cart.
"Watching a hammer shouldn't be too hard."
It's a pretty big hammer, it'll be super easy to keep an eye on.
no subject
"All right" He puts hands on either handle and hefts. He lifts it. There's not much strain. It's maybe slightly heavier than his armor. "I'm going to need you to shout out directions. I've got to concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. And keep a watch for monsters too. If I put this down, I don't know if I'll be able to pick it back up again." After all, he's old and dragging this all back is going to take it's toll on his muscles.
no subject
"Just leave it to me, / I'll keep monsters off your back. / Pothole on the left."
Watch your footing, old bro, tipping this whole thing over would super suck.
no subject
"Thank you my friend. Hold on to your butt! I'm picking up the pace as soon as we get back to a normal road! After though, I'm definitely going to need a beer." A beer and about a 3 day nap, but right now, he's more than happy to charge his way back to Wyver, acting as a cart horse.
no subject
"Beer, sounds like a good plan."
Hell yes celebratory beers. They've totally earned it after this.
no subject
no subject
He won't slow down at all. Just barrel onto the city at a run, laughing his head off and calling for a medic. Not for himself, but for the man. He's still laughing when they get their silver. The plant thing is definitely getting cooked later. For now though, he throws a heavy, sweaty arm over ZerO's shoulder while his other arm hefts his hammer. No leaving that behind. "Now, come my friend. Beers await!"
