Darius groans as he opens his eyes, looking up at the ceiling. He slowly sits up with a hand on his head. “Urgh, that hurts.” He slowly shakes his head with a frown. ‘I should probably check my Status.’ “Status.”

‘That probably explains this headache.’ Darius says while he shakes his head. He then puts 5 points into Wisdom, and 5 into Intelligence, bringing his mana up to 105, and his mana regen up to 100. He shakes his head a little, before he heads out of his room. He heads downstairs, looking around a little, before he heads out of the inn. ‘Now, where would I find the discontent. A place like this probably has some slums, so I guess there.’

He looks around before he starts to walk through the city. After a while of searching he finds a beggar. He walks up to the man saying “Excuse me, do you happen to know where the slums are?” The man looks up at Darius “And just what would someone like you want to do there?” “That doesn’t matter, how about I give you these to tell me?” Darius says as he holds up two copper coins.

“Make it three and you’ve got a deal.” Darius nods as he takes another coin from his coin pouch and hands them to the man. “Head down the road until you can see the wall, and then turn east and keep going.” “Thank you” Darius says with a nod as he turns and starts to walk.

Darius soon notices the buildings becoming more dilapidated and run down. He enters a small square, with something of a market in it, full of people in poor clothes. ‘Right, I’ve found the slums, now what? Maybe an inn?’

Darius looks around the market, before he notices a sign on a building that says The Rabid Rat with an image of a rat drinking from a tankard on it. He walks over to it, and heads inside, looking around a little. He finds that it’s a fairly run down place, with mostly standing tables, though a few normal tables and chairs. He goes up to the bar and asks for an ale, before he asks the bartender. “So, would you happen to know anyone who isn’t happy around here, and would like to go out and build a life?”

The bartender looks at him strangely, before he says “I might know a few people like that, but it’ll cost you.” “How much?” “A silver.” Darius nods a little as he takes a silver from his coin pouch and hands it over. The bartender nods before he points towards a corner of the tavern where there is someone wearing a heavy cloak. “Talk to Rinar, he’ll be able to help.” “Thanks” Darius says before he walks over to the corner with Rinar.

Darius sits down across from Rinar “So, Rinar right?” The person nods. “I’m looking for people who don’t like it here, and want to build a new life, know anyone like that?” “Yeah, I can get you a few people like that. But why do you want them?” “Oh just a quest I have, besides, there’s nothing wrong with helping people out somewhat.” “Huh, a new settlement quest, it’s been a while since there’s been one of those. But why come look for people here, if people knew Myrdou wanted a new settlement they would flock to you.”

Darius shakes his head as he says “Keep it quiet, but this isn’t for Myrdou, so if possible, get people who are discontent with him, and I only need 10 people, alright?” “Huh, well, I can get some people together, for lets say 3 silver.” Darius sighs, but he nods as he takes out the silver. “Well, have them meet me outside the gates, heading east. I have a spot in mind to build the settlement.” “Will do. I’ll have them there in three or four hours.” Rinar says as he takes the coins from Darius. Darius then nods and then turns to leave the tavern.
