Truthfully, my name is not Milton Rowe, so if by any chance you meet a Milton Rowe, please spare mercy on them. I did not reveal my true name as I am heavily aware of the fact that this will contradict many Aegisis peoples, especially those outside of Mirance, beliefs about blood magic and even more aware that they will not approve of my findings.
Before you could read on, there was a few quick knocks at your door.
"Hellooooo? Is there a Cosimo here?" a perky voice asked.

Before you could read on, there was a few quick knocks at your door.
"Hellooooo? Is there a Cosimo here?" a perky voice asked.
"Yes," I call, mildly annoyed. I mark my place in the book, walking to the door. "Does someone need me?"
You're in the inner region of Masina, at the front door of a noble woman's house named Cuifen who is hiring you for added security. Your cloak billowed in the cold air as the door promptly slid open at your arrival.
"Oh, hello!" Cuifen said. Her well-kept hair was decorated with pretty flower hair clips that had silver chains dripping off them and ended with precious pearls. She is also wearing pale blue robes and a pleated skirt. She seems very pleased to see you.
"Come inside, come inside." She motions you over to a side room where there was a low table accompanied by floor mats. A window let in sunlight as she served you fragrant tea. "I hope you like Lavin tea. Apparently the Lavin flowers came straight from the rainforest basin!"
She clapped her hands together.
"But that's not what were here to talk about. Is there anything else you need to know or equipment that you need me to buy? I want to make sure you are well prepared to prevent any thievery in my house." She lowers her voice. "My husband thinks I'm crazy and that I shouldn't take the gossip about make-believe burglaries seriously." She laughs and takes a sip of her steaming tea. "Men."
She smiled at your agreement. "Oh! I almost forgot," she said and went somewhere else to come back with a set of bow and arrows. "How silly of me. Here is the equipment you will be needing."
Gained:
Wooden Masinian Bow - Medium Quality
15 Arrows - Medium Quality
"If you don't need anything else, I will show you to your post."

(Yeah, cities are kind of vague)
From what you can tell about the layout while making your way, is that the houses were neatly arranged on an elevation high above the lake. It doesn't trigger your fear though, unless you look over the edge.
After a short while, you find the hissing cat and Omar at Adom's house. You were lucky enough to be there right as he was giving Adom the palm wine.
The black cat hisses at you, flicking a forked tongue into the air before affectionately rubbing its head against you. Its eyes were a fading pale green.
Omar was starting to head back, probably to report to his hostile employer.

"Yessss," she says and starts pounding the door. Apparently she didn't notice your annoyance or that you were near the door. "Come here nowwww!" She gives the poor door another pound.

I open the door and glance down at the surprise visitor intimidatingly. "Um. Hello? What do you want.....?"

Your surprise visitor was a short Minian girl with a delicate-looking frame.
"You," she answers with a smile.
Without warning, she quickly lands multiple punches on you.
- 6 HP

(I'll just use a dice roller to see how it plays, I won't let his health drop past 55.
If you want, he could get kidnapped and try to find a way to flee and make his way back home.
Or if you don't want that, he will either successfully defend himself or someone spots the girl and she runs away. I'm just trying to give this more direction, so if you want to go with the latter, tell me where you intend to go with this story instead.)

(You decide, any sounds fun!)
"What in the-" I choke out, surprised by the blow. I try to defend myself, but the girl is surprisingly strong and I'm not particularly skilled in the art of physical fighting.

(The dice roller shall decide your fate >:))))
Oh, and she's not strong, just fast. I shall now shorten my responses to speed up the pace.)
You manage to soften the damage a bit, but she's not letting up with the attacks.

(Arright sounds cool!)
My mind races- what could the girl want with me? I don't have any important skills or information, I'm just some random albino librarian who escaped Pompodis fifteen years ago! I stumble back into the room, disoriented and bewildered.
