I Spy Something... Blue

by Jaxi Nyaldaashkmeller

I can't remember the last time my skill ended up being helpful in any way. On this journey, it's actually lost us a few gold pieces. I happened to pick up the wrong noble's pouch. How was I supposed to know it was full of coins? All I saw was a bright blue shimmering silk, thrown carelessly into the street. Gargax had to bribe the lady to keep her from summoning the authorities. We've only been traveling for so long, a month if I'm remembering correctly, and we are quickly running out of money. Gargax doesn't seem to be aware of our predicament, which I think is for the best, since an opportunity arose before I had to break the news that we would have to return home.

Misht... something or other. A tiefling with a weird thing for his journal and a vague quest. But the most important thing about him, is that he's blue and definitely squishy. If I wasn't so easily drawn to that color, I may not have noticed the way he mulled about the tavern asking for information. Information seekers in this day and age, I have to believe he's on a quest to take the open spot to become a Master. I pointed Gax in his direction, and of course my older brother did what he does best; make friends. Despite his clear discomfort with us, we convinced Misht that he needed us for his journey. He's planning on traveling into unknown territory, which I happen to be an expert in traversing, and even if he knows a few magic spells, there's no way he can protect himself the way Gargax can. Our service won't be free, of course. The warlock seems unwilling to pay us both individually, since we let it slip that we're traveling together as siblings. But I think I can negotiate something with him... Maybe coin for Gax, and something blue for me.

I think I'm a little excited, to see where this journey takes us. Up until now, we had only been traveling to explore and so that I could complete my maps. We have no goal in mind, no real destination, just adventure. Misht might take us even further, and hey, even if we're acting as mercs for the time being, it feels pretty good to be getting paid.
