OOC: I took some liberties with the opening narration. Rp will run on a 4 day schedule, so post at least once in the 4 days but feel free to post more and in any order so long as its not twice in a row. talking and communicate to each other your plans on posting. Nothing worse than a week going by and no posts appearing because everyone is waiting on someone else to post. If that happens, I'll close the thread. Current plan is to run the rp about 1 month. Rounds may go faster if everyone posts at a decent pace.

TLDR: the party have accepted a quest for an alchemist to retrieve a magic item for him. they are currently at a table in a tavern to get the details of the job.
Post Listening:
Beneath a gray, morning sky, the city of Ryken, capital of the illustrious country of Ryke, bustled with the fervent energy of a major trade port. Its streets, a nexus of cultures and commerce, thrummed with life, connecting the western realms to the enigmatic east. Amidst this confluence of worlds, the famed Adventurer's Guild beckoned the brave and the bold, promising quests of both glory and peril.
In the heart of this teeming metropolis, a quaint yet lively tavern played host to a meeting shrouded in whispers and intrigue. Here, amidst the dim glow of lanterns and warm fireplaces, Connor Erland and Marinka Ruscenu, two souls seeking their destinies, found themselves. Their quest, freshly taken from the hallowed halls of the Guild, was simple yet veiled in mystery: to collect a specific item for a local alchemist known only for his arcane knowledge and elusiveness.
The tavern, a microcosm of Ryken itself, was a melting pot of adventurers, merchants, and wayfarers. Amidst the clatter of mugs and the low hum of a hundred conversations, Connor's keen eyes and Marinka's vigilant gaze were fixed on their enigmatic contact. The alchemist, cloaked in the mysteries of his trade, held the key to their next journey, a venture that promised to test their mettle and might.
Beside them, an extraordinary presence marked their party – Keircey, a construct of unique origin, a golem graced with a soul. Keircey's pursuit of freedom and recognition intertwined with his and Marinka's aim to gain membership within the hallowed ranks of the Adventurer's Guild.
The tavern's warm glow cast dancing shadows over their table, creating a cocoon that seemed to separate them from the rest of the world. They would all need to lean in to hear the alchemist's whispered words.
"Thanks for coming, brave souls," he began, his voice as enigmatic as the potions that lined his cloak. "I will be honest with you, the job you accepted will be fraught with peril and shrouded in unknown. But at its heart are the secrets that we all ardently desire."
As the alchemist's tale unfolded, the air seemed to thicken with anticipation. Connor, Marinka, and Keircey would need to listen intently.
"My research into alchemy has led me to the discovery of a very particular existence and the location of what I seek. There was once an alchemist far more renown than myself the presided over an academy of sorts. Whatever it was, it brought about many alchemical wonders that I believe to be lost or perhaps outdated by today's standards. Regardless, there was something of note. An item in the hands of the headmaster of this place, presumably the great alchemist himself. When used, it supposedly could work wonders. Perhaps you are familiar with relics such as the philosopher's stone? It is possible this item, in the hands of a capable alchemist, could be used for similar works. I need to know. Any questions before I explain further? I'd hate for any of you to fall behind."
It was clear the alchemist thought very highly of himself. Were it not for the cancelation penalty and fee, you might imagine other adventurer's would find this person difficult to tolerate for long.
