the note says:
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I, Lady Narasida Zakine of Calimshan, do find Myself, due to the recent disappearance and/or demise of my former employees, in the situation of being on the lookout for hired help.
More precise, I am looking fortwo or threea few more bodyguards for a diplomatic short term endeavour.
Though I do not exclude the possibility for long term employment as long as mutual interest exists.
But I do not seek for mindless brutes, what i seek is:
- Someone who knows his or her way around. Either with words, or with the ability to rather say nothing than say something inappropriate.
- Some skill in combat. Blade or bow preferred.
- A reputation that holds to a background check.
- Someone who stays true to the chain of command, naturally within the boundaries of the law.
- Someone who is at least aware that soap is indeed not a poison.
- Due to the chain of command clause and My own experiences, I sadly have to exclude Paladins, as I have yet to met one that takes orders from anyone but other Paladins.
- Talents outside of combat, such as music/dancing/singing/literature are a bonus but not required.
The pay I offer i return will be a term of negotiation but, rest assured, more than generous. The innkeeper of the Friendly Arms Inn does take messages for Me in case someone feels like s/he is fitting that description.
p.s. As I got that question a lot: No, I am not headed to the Underdark.
///if interested, just send me a pm, you should be available next saturday early evening gmt time.
