Nera pushed her way through the busy market place. It was packed despite the early hour.

A man from the south was sitting on one corner, playing an instrument she didn't recognize. The foreign twang of his music blended surprisingly well with the constant chatter and noise of passing people. The soul of the land itself, calling good morning to each of it's children.

The morning sun was still rising behind the nearest building, casting a cool purple shadow over the street. It subdued the bright colors around her--the dies and decorations Terjin was famous for. They weren't to her taste.

She turned down the next road, leaving the shadow. The sunlight cut through crisp morning air to reach her. She held a hand up to her eyes to protect them from the onslaught of brightness.

Fabric merchants had their best yards out on display. A food cart passed her, leaving hot steam in it's wake. A few drunks exited a nearby bar, and Nera wondered if they'd been there all night. She passed a florist who managed to overpower even the street food with it's aroma.

It was difficult to shove your way through a crowd when you were only 3 and a half feet tall. She'd never been to a Tall-men city before, and she was starting to realize there was a reason her kind stuck to small country-side villages. At least her small size meant she could slip between stalls most couldn't.

It took her the better part of an hour to reach the city hall building, in the dead center of Terjin. When Nera finally reached the pale marble steps, she felt more then a little dizzy. So many people and so much color and so much detail in every nook and cranny was disorienting. She'd almost been hit by a wagon twice, the drivers not seeing her because of her stature. It wasn't their fault halflings weren't common here, she knew that, but it was still frustrating.

Nera sat on the steps to catch her breath and re-orient herself. Tall-people of every size, shape, and color passed by in a blur. How did they stop to buy things from the stalls when everyone moved so fast? It must be like trying to cut through a stampeding herd Kows.

She pulled open her pack, to double check the flyer she'd picked up last night.

--For the protection of his Lordship, Duke Ehlu--

(50 silver an hour, non-negotiable)

Our dear and precious Lord is in jeopardy! Mysterious vagabonds have tried to steal him from us twice. We don't know where they come from, hence 'mysterious.' It'd suck if we lost our Lord so we'd need some help protecting him. I guess the army battalion stationed at his mansion isn't enough. Those slackers.

Lerren you can't write that on the flyer, it's rude-- Master Igeni

I can do whatever I damn please. Anyway, meet at the city hall for auditions

Auditions? what are they, players?--Master Igeni

Whatever I don't know the word. The mayor is gonna sort through ya'll and pick the strongest to protect his lordship. We won't take just anybody of the street--duh. It starts at 9:30, don't be late, or do, I'm just a scribes apprentice I don't actually care.

Lerren you know this is unprofessional, you'll have to do it again if you want me to pay you--Master Igeni

I was gonna quit anyway.

Despite whatever narrative it told, Nera had still gotten it from a stack of advertisements in the she'd stayed in tavern. Perhaps Lerren snuck it in as a joke. Either way, it was hopefully still accurate.

She wasn't new to being a mercenary, but most of her previous work was protecting caravans and fighting wild animals for homesteads. This would be a massive step up for her--if she got the job. An opportunity like this would surely help her start to make a name for herself. 

Still, she couldn't help but be intimidated. What if she wasn't strong enough and got rejected? What if the other candidates were scary?

Nera took a deep breath to calm herself. She was grown adult, even if it didn't seem that way to the Tall-men. She could handle herself. Glancing at the sun, she determined that 9:30 was still a good ten minutes away, so she pulled out a home-made sandwich to munch on in the meantime.

Hi! This looks fun. Hmmm. 

Spoiler

Name: Alvar 

Race (fantasy or normal or whatever): quarter mountain elf, quarter human, and half unknown ancestry orphan - perhaps part sharkfolk 

Appearance: tall, with slightly pointed ears, snow pale skin, spine like hair, a few sharp teeth, and literally reflective eyes, he’s a mash of several different species that somehow manages to only be odd, not frightening. He’s also relatively well muscled, moves like a competent warrior, and has what appears to be custom leather armor; it has nozzles threaded through it. 

Personality: rather cocky, he projects confidence to prevent others from targeting him. He’s mostly in this job so he can improve his skills and reputation. 

Skills: a mix of several different magical races results in some strange magic. Alvar possesses some innate water, stone, and weather magic, which, although individually weak, can be used together to form tough ice constructions large enough to use as weapons and armor. He’s a self-trained fighter, athletic enough to hold his own with most weapons. He does well in cold or high altitudes, and can supplement his held breath with semi-vestigial gills, but suffers in warm or dry climates. In fact, he needs to soak every couple of days to avoid his skin drying out.  

Weapon of choice: his ice blades, which he can create slowly from ambient humidity or quickly from a liquid source exposed to the air, which includes blood. They’re barbed and serrated, and he can lessen the earth magic strengthening to cause sharp ice to break off inside his opponent. If he has the money, he occasionally uses frozen venom, making the weapons even more deadly. 

Background: his parents were mercenaries and adventurers (they are essentially the same profession), and one day never came back from a job. Alvar went from the streets to the wilderness and back, getting better at fighting all the time. He began slaying monsters and taking mercenary contracts, working for essentially anyone. His skill allows him to make ends meet, but at the same time prevents him from settling down and taking a normal job. So he takes contracts, hones his skills, and builds his reputation, not really knowing what else to do. 

Other/favorite food/cool jokes: he’ll eat most forms of food, but one of his favorite things is chilled cream he freezes himself. Too bad he puts raw fish in it, or everyone else would want some too. 

Alvar is searching for a new contract, having come back from taking down a nest of drakes. The infuriating creatures had just kept going further down their tunnels, almost drowning him. He hadn’t been paid nearly enough for the trouble, puny the drakes may have been. But the Duke, now he would pay well. Not the best paying job he’d ever done, but the scales of pay, effort, and legal dubiousness were balanced pretty well in his favor. And the audition - let alone the job itself - might earn him some prestige. Maybe he could score an even more important contract…

Nice, looks good

Nera put her sandwich away when she saw other fighters begin to gather near the hall's entrance.

Should she introduce herself to them? Surely they'd learn each other's names when the even started.
