Going down the stairs to the main hall. That's when she happens to notice some fellow Guild Members picking on these other members and not in the fun brawl way like the rest of the tavern does. Overcome with anger, she begins to walk over to the other side of the room but the chaos is slowing her down. Frustrated, she gots on a table and shoots a bolt of magic into the air from her fingertips. "SILENCE!" Her voice books as the bolt makes a loud noise, shutting everyone up but not damaging anything. "YOU!" She said as she pointed to the group of bullies on the other side of the hall. "What are you doing? Where do you get off, thinking you can pick on others just because they're beasties of a lower rank than you!?" With anger in their faces, the three bullies turn around. "What's it to you!?" One shouted. "Stay out of it!" Taking a few steps towards her another said, "Yeah! It's none of your business, STAY OUT OF IT!"
Corvus chuckled and then with hatred in her eyes said, "Oh but it IS my business." She jumped off the table and began slowly walking to the other half of the room as she spoke. "See, those beasties you chose to pick on are dead friends of mine. Regardless, if you mess with anyone in this Guild, you'll answer to me." The three bullies laugh and the last one who'd yet to speak said, "Yeah right, answer to you, you're not the guild master." With a smirk, stopping half way, Corvus stopped and asked. "That's true but what ranks are you?" Proudly one replied, " I'm a B - Rank!" The second said, "And we're both A - Ranks, so you better respect us! We're higher than them AND you!" This caused Corvus to burst out laughing. "Oh, you want to talk about rank?" A devious glare in her eyes, knowing not any other person in this tavern likely has the same rank. She pulls out her new card with an arrogant stance and shows them.
Almost the entire tavern was shocked, everyone knew the silver color of that card. "Yeah right," the other bully said. "No way that's yours! You probably stole it!" Deviously, I replied, "Yeah, I could've stolen it. Except all guild cards have a picture of you on it." Corvus brought it closer so he could see her picture on the S - Rank card. Shocked, the crew didn't know what to say. None of them could face her. "I highly suggest you get out of my way. Even the Guild Master himself is in favor of me. If I were to tell him what's happened here, you wouldn't just be banished from the guild, I could have you exiled."
The three bullies hurried out of the tavern. To calm the tension she then turned to the others and yelled, "NEXT ROUNDS ON ME! LET'S GET LIVELY AGAIN IN HERE!" The group all yelled, "YEAH!" And continued like nothing happened. Corvus turned to the ones being bullied. Two beastie girls, One panther and one more lioness looking. "Thank you," The lioness said. "Of course, I hate guys like them. Are you okay?"
They were trembling. "One sec," I reached into a magic bag I noticed I had on me and pulled out two warm blankets and fresh clothes as theirs were torn. "So what rank are you if those guys were targeting you?" They got quiet and looked sad. "We're D rank... But if we complete this new mission, we could get promoted to C - Rank! That's why they were picking on us. They thought a couple of D - Rankers could never do it... Maybe they're right..." The panther said. "Since when do three jerks get to determine whether you can succeed? I'm Corvus and the three of us are going to complete that quest together." Shocked, The lioness asked hesitantly, "Are you sure? We could ruin your reputation..."
I looked at her like she was crazy, "So? Who cares? Let's do this!" Their faces lit up. I went to the bar and said, "One barrel for every table please." After which she set a sack of money on the counter. "Did you just say a barrel...?" The barkeep asked. "Indeed I did. Of your finest alcohol. This should cover it and if not, let the Guild Master know and tell him what happened here today. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to lend a helping hand." Corvus said deviously. The barkeep just nodded, took the money and went to get the barrels. Then she turned to her new friends once more, "So are you ever going to tell me your names?" She said teasingly with a chuckle. "Oh sorry!" The panther replied. "I'm Blake and this is Aria." Corvus smiled. "Lovely to meet you both!
"What's this quest that you've both accepted?" Corvus asked. "We're escorting a merchant through Shadowfell, there's been an increase in bandits over in that area so they're requesting an escort." Blake explained. "Did you seriously just say Shadowfell?!" Corvus asked in shock. "Yeah, you know it?" Aria asked. "Yeah but most people don't but let me get this straight they're giving this mission to a couple of D - Rankers. Through Shadowfell. To escort a couple of merchants to another village. Copper is the lowest possible coin, very cheap, could buy you bread or a cheap drink. Silver could buy you a meal or maybe a tool. Gold is the highest for a dangerous job or quality equipment. Right?" They both nodded in confirmation. "And yet you're only getting a single gold and three silver plus 10% of the goods to get them through Shadowfell? In total? For the whole mission?" They nodded again. "Why do you keep saying it like that? A Gold coin is good!" Aria said. "Yes, except that this is an S or SS - Rank mission. If it truly has bandits, this is a suicide mission! I'll be right back." She said angrily. "I'm going to have a little talk with the Guild Master. Actually, you're coming with me." Corvus dragged them along and barged into the Guild Master's Office while he was sorta in a meeting.
