    Ivan shrugs. "The pay'll be nice, true, but I'm also in it just for the experience. See as much as I can, you know?" He gives a relaxed smile to Grigor. "Glad to meet you, hopefully we'll work well together." He then turns his head back to the sky and relaxes.

    Re: Riddle of the Gods: Attempt 2 [GURPS/RP] [Starting]

    William had made his way to Cannis to seek out a job. While he didn't really need the money, it was something to do, and while he had some money saved up, a big job like this would ensure he didn't have to worry about it for a while.

    He walked with purpose, moving quickly through the city. He was not quite unremarkable, but certainly someone out of the ordinary: a tall human, well-built, with armor, a club, and brass knuckles. A few people recognized him, and there was one boxer who nodded as a sign of respect. William could always tell other boxers apart from boxing fans: there was a certain way they acknowledged him that let him know.

    Soon, the estate loomed ahead. In front of its gate were two guards, blocking access to the mansion. There were already two others waiting, one Ursan near the gate and a human up in a tree. Ignoring the two for now, he made his way to the guards and announced himself.

    "Hello, I am William Ester. I've heard rumors that your master has a job for adventurers. I'm interested in taking this job."

    The guard gives no response to William either. He seems determined (and possibly bound by service) to stay perfectly still and appear menacing.

    Spurned by the guards, William turned to the other two waiting.

    "Same for you?"

    Ivan inclines his head to the big guy. "Stoneface there? Pretty much. I'm Ivan, by the way."

    Grigor remains silent as he watches the new arrival for a moment before going back to staring intently in the direction the other guard left in.

    Looks like there's going to be a small crowd for this job. Hmph.

    A short vulpine wearing a weatherbeaten cloak and equally worn traveller's clothes walks up to the mansion gates, stepping cautiously. Eyeing those already gathered there he asks, "Hmm, so many people here. Intriguing. Is there any reason for your lord to make meself and these other's wait out here, if i may ask?" That last bit directed at the two guards.

    Yet again, the guard remains taciturn.
    Just then, the other guard reemerges from the mansion and marches back to the gate, now with an entourage of three other guards. He opens the gate and gives a stern look at the newly formed crowd. Then he and the guard at the gate share whispers back and forth for a bit. They nod to one another, open the gate up wide, and one of the guards motions for the party to follow while the original two return to their posts in front of the gate.

    Ivan jumps down from the tree and begins following the guard.

    Grigor does the same, eager to hear the details about the job.

    With a shrug, the vulpine moves to follow the others.

    With the gate unlocked, the others started entering. William looked around before following them in.

    The guards lead the group up the garden path to the front entrance. Flowing marble steps lead up to arched double doors affixed to the absolutely enormous, two story home. Two guards open the doors and the other heads inside. He stands to one side as the party enters the foyer. Everything in the room is glistening under torch and candle light. Nothing appears to not be made of some expensive material.
    The door leading inside is opened, as if on cue, by a tall, well dressed Vulpine. He's rather gaunt and wears pristine white gloves along with his immaculate black suit. The Vulpine gives a deep bow and as he rises requests, in a slight Renardi accent, "would you all please enter and make yourselves at home. The master will be down shortly; he is entertaining a guest." He then gestures elegantly toward the open entryway.
    Inside, you find red carpeted stairs resembling a waterfall cascading down the center of the large room. They lead to a balcony that wraps around the second floor. Above there is a brilliant chandelier burning bright with candlelight hanging down between floors. There are chairs and couches tastefully strewn about in the corner along with a small table. Arches and doors lead to rooms in all directions. Expensive looking paintings hang on every wall. There is absolutely nothing that doesn't exhibit beauty and extravagance.
    Glimpses of servants can be caught moving about the halls, but they're gone as quickly as they come. One though remains close to the party, standing very near Grigor with ready cleaning tools.

    The short vulpine gives a disdainful sniff at the gaudy surroundings, then takes a position by a wall, pointedly ignoring the soft cushions - though he does eye the nearby paintings with some degree of interest.
