Making her way quickly down the cobble roads of Oak Town, Gemma headed straight for the mayors outfit, her belongings heavy on her back and the piece of paper she had ripped of the guild's Job board a few hours earlier still crumbled in her tight fist. She kept glancing up and around, looking for the large building where the mayor, her client, should be waiting.
It might be a bit of tough job, she kept thinking on the way over. It would pit her against other mages, something she had only done a handful of times. But how else was she supposed to progress, and more importantly prove herself, and not be some kind of background decoration in a guild of powerful mages.
Squaring her shoulders she made way towards a shop keeper who was standing next to a vegetable display. "I'm sorry", she began politely "Would you know where I could find the mayor please?" she asked.
"He's the man who looks like he's about to collapse over there" the woman answer, with a pained look on her face. Thanking the lady, Gemma turned around towards the direction she was indicated, and sure enough there stood a slightly overweight man, puffing on his pipe and sweat clearly coming down his forehead. Lifting her head, she made way towards him. "Excu-" she began, but was cut off as she arrived at the level of the mayor as the same time as an unknown person.
