In a medieval world, some jobs are a lot weirder than ones in other worlds. Character A, for example, lives their life as a traveling, vigilante sorcerer/sorceress that travels from town to town to aid them. The town has a dragon problem? Goblin raids in the night? Possibility of a witch stealing everyone's kids? Backed up plumbing? Character A handles it all; not exactly with the brightest of attitudes, but not exactly to the rudest levels. In their spare time, A searches for magical means to provide themselves things to live a non-nomadic lifestyle. No longer would A have to rely on going to town to town for money, when they could stay in one place and enjoy life. So when another town complains to them, A goes in believing it'll be another casual job.
Character B is also a vigilante hero...or at least, they like to think are. Pulling off daring heists in multiple towns and kingdoms, B is a very wealthy, highly trained theif that usually passes off some of his conquests to the poorest of the poor and then moves on to steal from some other kingdom. With their fame spreading, they're able to occasionally to stretch the truth about themselves for popularity. Fought a Hydra? Choked out an Ogre? Rods a Wyvern into battle? Resisted Siren songs? Beaten someone in Tic Tac Toe with their eyes closed? Character B has done all of those things, and they celebrate those outlandish feats with regular trips to safe, secluded Taverns. It seems nothing could possibly go wrong for B...
...until Character A bursts in fearfully, forcibly recruiting B for a plan. Apparently the town was deserted when A arrived to help, and evidence at the scene hinted that an ageless Eldritch being is starting to seep into the world to devour whole civilizations. Apparently the only thing able to drive it back is the Ancient Staff of Luna and its untapped power. All B has to do is lead A through the F'Bunti forest--three day's worth of uninhabited forestry, creatures known and unknown and the nearly unkillable being chasing them every step of the way.
But it's fine. B said they've been through the forest dozens of times, and they have no reason to lie about that kind of thing, right?

If interested, I would love to discuss more about it!
