Kiron shakes his head recognizing an evasion when he heard one. "Bard or ex-bard, your evading. You could have chosen a hundred people not in the armed branches of the kingdom, but you chose us four why? And you didnt answer the rest of my questions."
Malrak sighed at the half elf constantly pushing the bard. "If we needed to know they would have told us don't you get it? This is somthing they want to keep on the down low so they hired a couple of nobodies and freaks no one would miss if it didn't work out. After all why send hundreds of expensive well equipped mercenaries or soldiers when the desperate and insane would do it for much less and would be less of a loss if they went missing and wouldn't cause a panic among the populous."
Kiron shrugged. He was still expecting bad luck on this. "Fine, lets do this. Got a map of where this all is?" Around them people's luck was just worsening.
Faelen pulled out a map and handed it to Kiron, then pull 500 gold pieces. "This will be the ensurement that you will stay with me and your country to the very end. Do we have a deal." He pulls up a magical contract. "Sign you names and you will be sent off to the land of the dead."
Kiron's eyes glowed blue for a second. He confirmed it was magic. He figured it was some sort of geas. He took the contract with a careful gloved hand and read it paying close attention to the wording.
Contract To whom that signs this contract you are bound to do your duty to this kingdom until revealed of acquiring the Crown of Mor. You will be payed 500 platinum pieces each. Anything you acquire from the dead is yours unless it s the Crown of Mor. You will not kill one another for higher pay. The other rewards if nothing is acquired: Being able to be appointed as a knight of Ara'mor | More Platinum | An Item from the wizard guard of choice | Be announced as grand heroes of the kingdom | All crimes removed | Housing. Your life is your own to protect if you die you will have to be resurrected with your pay we do not have to pay for your demise. If you betray us you will be hunted by the Mordin Assassins. Any crimes you commit will be your fault and you will face the consequences as is the law. Then goes into like every contract what your job is etc. Then the sign here.
Kiron nods for a minute and signs it. " Alright so lets get going once we have everyone we are going to have."
A man walks into the bar a knight of all things. The bards eye widen and he bows. "Prince Alfred you got here." the prince says. "I am a crusader no prince lets go damnet." Faelen says. "Understood Crusader sign the contract." the Prince of Ara'mor a crusader meaning he has done something wrong. He signs and looks at you all then smiles. "My kind of people." Faelen said. "Won't you be praised leaving?" Alfred replied. "No I will put on my helm."
Malrak watched the so called prince and crusader he wasn't really accustomed to titles of royalty here but he understood that a prince was a powerful position and yet he was here joining in their little quest. He was confused but at least this man appeared to be competent enough. Though he did wonder what his offense was to make him step down from his previous position.
