     The team sits around a table in the inn. Issac and Noah have tankards of ale in front of them. Elidia has a glass of wine. The three of them are having a conversation.
     "So seems like the three of us have no place to go, aye?", Noah asks
     "Seems so," Issac says.
     "Well, you two might not. However, I do," Elidia says.
     "Actually, aren't you royalty Noah? Don't you earn some of Helmsguard?", Issac asks.
     "Well, I would if well...our new king wants new policies. All families of royalty no longer control provinces of Helmsguard. The king wants all the land to himself," Noah answers.
     "And when did you learn of this?", Elidia asks. Noah points to the window. A sign is put up saying what Noah just said. "Oh. Well that's sudden."
     "Aye. Stupid king," Noah comments.
     "Well, I do have an idea. Do you two know of questseekers?", Issac asks.
     "You mean guild members? What about 'em?", Noah asks.
     "It might be...well I think...it would be a good idea to join a guild. Think about it. Good pay, honest work, and we know we're all good in battle," Issac states.
     "Hmm...alright. Let's join a guild," Noah says.
     "Seriously? That fast?," Elidia asks.
     "Yeah. Judging how my family doesn't have power anymore..." Noah takes a sip of his ale. "...I don't have much else to do. Goin a guild, or suffer as a beggar on the streets. That's pretty much it," Noah answers.
     "Alright then. And you Elidia?"
     "Um...well...I suppose..."
     "It's settled then! Today we join a guild!", Issac shouts.
     "Keep yer' voice down. People are behaving normally here," Noah says.
     "Alright." Issac rises his tankard. "Here, here?"
     "Here, here." Noah hits his tankard aganist Issac's. Elidia picks up her glass and clinks it politely aganist the tankards. "And this is why men toast."
    "Hey!" Noah and Issac laugh.
    "I'm just pulling yer chains. Don't worry much on it."

*The next day*
     Noah is packing up his things in his room. His sword and dagger are at his waist. He packs together a bit of food in his bag. Then, he heads for the door. "Wait," Noah's mom says.
     "What is it?", Noah asks.
     "I know we have to sell a lot of our items to support ourselves but, I saved this for you." She puts a necklace around Noah's neck. "Consider it a good luck charm."
     "I will." Noah wraps his arms around his mother. Then, he leaves.
     "Ready to leave?", Issac asks.
     "All set," Noah says while jumping up on his horse. Issac and Elidia get on their horses.
     "Alright. Our destination is Torsong. To enter the guild, Sword and Honor. Let's go!", Issac shouts. He kicks the sides of his horse and it runs through the city's gates. Noah and Elidia follow behind him.

*One day later*
     The guild stood tall. Vast fields around it. A strong stone wall protects the building. The three of them gets off their horses.
     "There it is. Our new home," Noah says. They walk to the walls. A wooden gate stands between them and the guild.
     "Newcomers?", a voice asks. An old man walks to the gate. "Welcome to Sword and Honor. May I help you?"
     "We wanted to see if we can apply to this guild," Elidia explains.
     "Hm?" The old man scans them head to toe. "A swordsman, archer, and magic user?"
     "Yes sir," Elidia says.
     "Alright. Allow me to introduce myself. Oliver Acevedon at your service," Oliver says with a bow.
     "I am Elidia Savendra."
     "Issac Eldwin."
     "Noah Lynwood." Oliver shakes all of their hands.
     "Lynwood? Rennan's brother? I'm sorry for your loss," Oliver says.
     "Thank you," Noah says.
     "Well, tis time to show you about the guild. Please, follow me," Oliver says.
