The merchant clenched his fist in anger hearing this but controlled it knowing wheir he was . In guild any type of violence was prohibited this was one of the most important rule everyone had to follow. Or else the consequences could be dire merchant knew this and didn't wanted to be on guild bad side.
Merchant "About him I also wanted to put a guild complain on him he abandoned the mission in between are trip,"
'Guild complains' wheir a mission provider can put a complain on any adventure of the guild who might have not done their mission that they post properly or mission provider was not satisfied buy the adventure work and many such complain that they can put on adventure.
But many didn't do such thing because the consequences the mission provider could face due to this can also be dire because if they could not provide with enough evidence that support the adventure was on wrong or have failed to do his work can be banned from the guild or may charge with hefty price if the accusations was proved false.
And for them this could be a problem so they didn't but I knew merchant was not afraid because he had me as a eye witness or the carriage drivers who saw whole thing.
Hearing this the beast-kin woman to got serious and asked "What kind of complain do sir want to put and on whom?"
Merchant " The beast-kin guy who should have companied us. He had accepted my mission to provide me with security as it could be mentioned in your record but he abandoned the mission when some bandits attacked us at mountain areas. In order to save his life."
Beast-kin woman asked "Do sir has any evidence on him that can prove that what you say is truth?"
Merchant "Yes I have, He is the one who also accepted the mission and companied us he saw everything he can prove that what I speak is truth," said without any hesitation.
She looked toward me and asked "Do sir can confirm this with a Oath?,"
I would have not hesitated either knowing this was the fact it won't put me in any trouble but before that I had a question that I needed to ask "Before I say I wanted to ask as merchant has said he ran in order to save his life didn't guild has mentioned one can abandoned a mission if he sees his life was in danger.,"
She made a amused experience knowing many who had taken the mission such as this would be the only one who didn't knew about the hidden rule mentioned in the mission such as this and replied,
"Sir is right guild rules did said this but have someone from our guild branch on that town mentioned certain rules and conditions before you guys accepted the mission?,"
Hearing this I gave nod , seeing this she smiled then said "Then It would be easy to explain have they mentioned anything that say you guys can abandoned a mission if your life is at risk ?"
I thought for a minute then replied "No they didn't,"
"This kind of mission has their own rules and that are mentioned before anyone take a mission and that are the only rules applied in this kind of mission."
I asked another question "So is not that your guild responsibility to mention it?"
"No it is not but we have probably asked that 'if anyone has any douth related to this mission you can ask about this' their we would have mentioned if you have asked their about this," With a smile.
Seeing that smile I too got a little smile on my face feeling that this was their trick so that one can accept the mission knowing if one wheir to be aware that their life may be in danger very few would take this kind of mission, but didn't felt angry on them that they tricked us because it was my mistake to not realize this I said in amused face in low voice but enough that see could hear it.
"Next time onward I need to be little more attentive for such kind of things so that I don't get tricked again by someone."
Hearing this she gave a innocent smile but didn't comment anything but further said ,
"And adventure also need to understand that one Is posting such mission is clearly not certain or feel threatened that they maybe in danger or are not safe. So in order to save themselves they are paying a price and the one accepting have to protect them in any means possible even if they have to risk their life. If they can't don't accept a mission simple as that."
I understood it then gave my reply "OK then I can take a Oath and confirm that he is speaking the truth."
Girl gave a nod went to serious mood again and asked "OK then I would write that for now and if he found in any of are guild branch we would confirm it with him if he denies then you may be called to take a Oath."
I gave a nod then she took her time to complete the procedure.
