Quinten sighed, inwardly glad the Captain was at last hearing what the quest was about. He repressed a smile as he went on to explain how easy this job was.
"Well you see some big head honcho wizard wants us to find some scrolls for him"
"Scrolls?"
"Yes, there’s a village a couple of days walk from here that was destroyed in a raid during the war. There was a small local library in the town that held some scrolls for the local wizards guild. All he wants us to do is go to the village see if there is anything left of the library, and if there is he wants us to bring it back to him."
"It's that easy." Cassandra turned back to the papers on her desk and began to move them around with her finger."Why doesn’t this wizard go check it out for himself? Why is he just giving it to us to handle?"
"Hetal, my gnome friend, said that it’s a personal interest to the wizard and that the wizard is too busy with Councel business right now to go check himself. Also, Hetal told him that he knew a mercenary company that could handle it for him just fine."
Cassandra pursed her lips and sat completely still with her hand still on her desk. Quinten knew he had to win her over. Maybe most of the company was used to being poor and not having food every now and then but he wasn’t, and he wasn’t about to start.
"Look Captain, all we have to do is go and check out this town to see if this library is still their. If it's there we bring back some scrolls back and get a bonus. If it's not there and everything is ruined we still get paid. It’s a win-better win situation and we are lucky it came to us first."
Cassandra looked Quinten up and down. Leaning forward she rested her head on her hand before responding. "All right Quinten. I'll put you in charge of this one. Take five others with you. But ask them if they want to go first."
"You got it captain." Turning around he started to exit the room. Just then the Captain added one more thing.
"You might want to consider taking Valasar with you. I think he’s a little bit... confined at the moment. This would be good for him."
