Wanted! Freddy Frueger
Word Count Posting
Pepper sat a large stone, filing her nails in that usual purple suit she wore to even situations likes this. She kept a constant eye on the large whole in the ground all the while, making sure nothing went in or out of it. Rumor had that there was a dangerous man down in those tunnels. The rumors were all vague but it was said that he kills anyone who enters the tunnels. Nothing was known about him, or even if it was a "him." The fact that no one had come back alive was of not much help either. When Pepper was first given the job, she almost turned it down even given the very strange and almost paranormal circumstances surrounding it. The job was last handed down to some foreign mercenary but he too was no where to be found after people witnessed him descend into the tunnels.
With such an oddity about the mission, Pepper had reluctantly called in for someone to help her. That person was not who she'd hope for (another Rune Knight) but she at least got a recognizable face to assist her--Chelvaric of Sabertooth, a man that Pepper had the (good or bad) fortune of working with in taking down some slavers over in Hargeon Town. Given that most Rune Knights were too scared or busy to assist, Pepper expected Chelvaric was the last man who could help her. She had sent the man a letter to request help in this job a couple days earlier and now waited for his arrival. If he did not show up, she would simply take it as a sign of rejection (or a sign that the mailman was giving her the business by not delivering any of her letters like she previously suspected he was doing).
