Ariadne looked out the window, careful not to be seen.
More had come.
She gave silent thanks to the gods. Thankfully, the ones that came didn't look like they were from the Church.
...She didn't want to have to move again.
Adventurers came once or twice a moon... all of them wanting the same thing, to recruit two Gold-Rank adventurers to their cause.
It didn't matter how much gold they offered or whatever 'honor' they had on the line. She rejected elves and humans alike, Holy Invokers and Darkmages, Nemayans and folks from the Eastern States...
She kept her courtesies, as she was raised as a proper lady. However, there were more than a few times she had to roll up her sleeves and reveal just how powerful a Gold-Rank actually was.
