It was a quiet, sunny day in Vivec. On the other hand, it was always a quiet sunny day in Vivec. Shadow walked through the wooden door of the Elven Nations Cornerclub in Hlaalu Canton. The room that was usually crowded with all sorts of Elves right now had only the bartender in it. A majority of the club`s regulars were out enjoing the beautiful day. An elementary thing to do with such weather. Not a thing that Shadow had time for, though. "Morning, barkeep," he said in a tired voice. "Had a tough night huh," laughed the tender. "Nothing to laugh at," said Shadow, getting a little irritated. "I was busy making stupid fake land deeds for some lazy Hlaalu Councellor. Last time I do such a favour for them..." He ordered a Sujamma and sat behind a round table in the corner. "What I need is a good adventure that would get me out of this boring paperwork," he said, more to himself, because the barkeep had gone to the back room to bring more Sujamma. "My weapons are already getting all rusty..."

Then Floating Barrel ran into a bar with her Guar Corkeya. She said to an adventurer in the corner: "Hello, stranger! I am here first time of my life...Seems like you are not..." She said to barkeeper to bring for her a bottle of Mazte. "And bring some water for my little Corkeya!" said she and smiled to the Guar. Floating Barrel took her Mazte and sat down at the same table, where was Shadow. "So. You are too an adventurer, arenĀ“t you?" she asked. "Let me present: Floating Barrel, so the people is used to call me, but my real name is Cara. I`m from the Great House Telvanni and I`m Dark Elf, as you can see... I know that Dark Elfs aren`t just very kind people, but I am. And this is my Guar Corkeya, she`s always been my friend and helped my always in battles... And who are you?"

"Well, hello Barrel, as I can see it really is your first visit to Vivec. Don`t you know that guars are not allowed inside the city," said Shadow, but his voice showed clearly that he didn`t much care about any rules. "I`m actually looking for some adventures," he added, drinking his Sujamma, "don`t you have some?"

"Oh, sorry about my Guar! I cannot understand why don`t they want Guars to be in citys?! Nevermind, my Guar is never going to do someting bad..." And just the same time Corkey took a cake from one table. "Well, maybe sometimes she will..." She drank her Matze, and said to Shadow: "Umm... Let me see my journal," and she took a little book and read something. "Ahh, yes there is one quest, but I think it`s too easy for you... I must go to the Urshilaku Burial Caverns... If you want, you will join me, but you will get bored there, I think..."

"The Urshilaku? Haven't seen them in years..." A new patron commented, sitting at the bar, drinking some ale. He wore a larged plummed black hat atop a bald head. He had a eyepatch over his left eye and a fine blade at his hip. As the two turned away, he walked over and seated himself. "Allow me to inroduce myself. I am Jaraxle." he said, kissing Cara's hand. As he came up, it was noticed that the eyepatch was now on his right eye. "May I join you?"

"I sure don't mind," said Shadow, although he looked at the stranger suspiciously. "What's with the eye?"
OOC: who's Cara? Her name is Floating Barrel ;D

Cara was very happy to see so many companions wishing to join her.
'Sure you will join us, if you like!' she said to a new companion happily. 'We will start the mission tomorrow, at the sunrise. But first, please, get your drink, sit down and tell us about you.'

"How bout I'm a mercenary, and I do this for fun. And as for my eye, I've had some trouble with telepaths, so I got this." He said, motioning to the eyepatch, impossibly fast, switching it. "It is enchanted to block their techniques to enter my mind."

"Fine," said Shadow. "Let's listen to your story then. That is, if you're willing to tell us more. You assassins are secretive people, and I have had many trouble thanks to this. I say when we are about to get into an adventure together, it is better to know a few things about each other. So we won't get any unwanted surprises. If you want to know about me, the place I call home is Rethan Manor near Balmora. I do business for The Great House Hlaalu, that's all you need to know. You can call me a thief if it pleases you." He finished his sentence with a grin and finished his Sujamma, setting himself ready to listen a tale.

Taking a swig of ale and leaning back, Jaraxle again switches his eye patch. "Well, if you must know me, get one thing straight. I and my band are mercenaries, not assassins. I call the tower of Crennishibon home, though you may know it as the Crystal Shard. I was a legend in the underdark, and the city of Menzoberrazan is where I call home. I usually work for money, but I'll settle for 50% of the profits we find. And all the Magical Items be mine. I've worked with countless thieves before, so don't think you can trick me and take what is mine. As for a house, I hate them all, though I will work if the price is right. Anything else before I turn this tale over to the beautiful lady?"

"There IS honour among thieves," said Shadow, clearly irritated by the rude speach of the newcomer. "And I said you can only CALL me a thief. I am more than that, but that's all you need to know right now. I just don't trust you enough. Now, about the Magical Items. You get to keep them all? I say we should leave some for Cara. As for myself, I desire all the Dwemer items we find, enchanted or not. These are my conditions."
He sat quietly for a while, looking at Jaraxle very suspiciously.
"We shouldn't let troubles get between us," he said after some time, and the anger and mistrust had suddenly gone from his face. "If we are to adventure together, we must fit in and trust each other, or we will get in trouble soon. I apologize for my rushed words, as should you. Now, let us end this topic and move on. What do you say Cara?"

"I accept your apology. Now, m'lady, what say you?"

Cara looked first at Shadow and then at Jaraxle.
"Erghm... I think we'll talk about this later. But now, lets go."
She patted her guar Corkeya and took her sidebag.

"Let us go then." Jaraxle said, pulling up his cloak and putting his plummed hat on.
