A New You, Tuesday, Period Two
Today, the class would find the Danger Shop simulation set right back up in the middle of town.
"Well done," he said, grinning around at the students. "You defeated the demon, you've helped clear out the cave for the wyrmling with the tattered wing, and to top it off, now he's got some kobold roommates to help him out while his wing heals. As thanks, he let you each take a handful from his hoard."
Mmmmriches.
"And the Captain of the Guard still owes you payment for checking out the wyrmling situation, so once you catch up to her, it'll be a couple hundred gold in each of your pockets. Not half bad."
... Fjord wished he had a couple hundred gold in his pockets.
"Now you've got yourselves a bit of a reputation around here, the people who take care of problems." A glance at Jatila. "Who mostly take care of problems. Which means opportunities are starting to open up here in town. People want to give you work, if you're willing to take it. There's one in particular that seems promising- a ship's captain from a neighboring city is in port, and he's looking for some good, strong individuals to see to it that his ship and his cargo arrive safely at their destination. He's offering living quarters, food, and a solid wage to anybody who cares to join his crew. Go have a chat with him if you're interested, or make your own fun."

Re: Captains!
He smirked.
"It'll do a hell of a number on anything goes into that crate, though."
Which was not actually an answer to that question. Not even a little bit.
"But you will get room and board and a decent living wage, and when your contract's up we'll drop you off anywhere along our route you want to be."
Re: Captains!
Which was, really, a very Prompto response, so, despite the fact that he kind of wanted to rub his hands together in excitement, he forced that down and pulled up more of Seros's lofty daemon-may-care attitude.
"I suppose those terms sound...acceptable," he noted with an exaggerated shrug, stroking his chin a little thoughtfully. "Naturally, I shall have to converse with my compatriots, but I'm certain they'll also be on board."
Heh.
On board.
Because it was a ship.
Get it?
...Seros hated you, Prompto.
Re: Captains!
Apparently yes. Yes he was.
"Well, that's only sensible, he said, in a tone of voice that suggested that 'sensible' was about as exciting as 'watching kelp grow.' "I'll leave you to chat with the rest of your group, of course. If your party wants to come along and we're not here, ask around the docks for a ship by the name of Joyswimmer's Dance."
