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.

One might say the occupation I held in Olympia was certainly that, though these fellows are certainly far larger.
[ And they are all babies here, after all. Toddlers in the very least. ]
Your own care of them speaks familiarity - have you worked with dragons before? Or are you more used to man-shaped charges?
no subject
No. Nothing much like dragons, really.
[They had many things shaped like dragons on Eos, but they were monsters all the same. There was even an astral, who perhaps looked more than part than anything else, but Ardyn certain does not care for him very much.
And so:]
A few man-shaped charges. Though truly not under my care or control.
no subject
[ She's met stranger if so, but she honestly cannot picture this man as a parent. An older brother, perhaps. Or younger? He has that sort of mischievous streak edging his words. ]
no subject
But regardless, there is a mischievous streak in his look, as if finding an inside joke amusing. To his credit, though, he does explain a little.]
A Chancellor, overseeing a government. At times, it feels like herding cats, or trying to get so many toddlers to play nice with each other.
[He feels like he's free to talk shit about Niflheim now that he is very much... not aligned with them any longer.]
no subject
Yes, I rather imagine it was. Was it all nobility? Or multiple military minds?
[she knows of those in charge of Eorzea's city states, as well as her own home city (of course), but she's curious to see what kind of governments prevailed on stars beyond ehr own. ]
no subject
Well... one shouldn't judge based solely on first impressions alone.
[He can finally straighten to his full height, now, wet clothes and all.]
Military and a royal hierarchy both. Though if you want to know what manner of ruler oversaw Niflheim... that would be the late emperor.
