FFD6 The Dicening, Group 1, Chapter 1, Mission 1

[Teal Mage]

After taking quick stock of their group's resources, a scant 450 gil, it quickly became apparent that getting a room at one of the nicer Inns in Altair was impractical - unless they wanted to burn all their money on it, that is. For her part, Arden was less than thrilled at that prospect. So, after a relatively short time spent searching, the group found themselves at an Inn that - Arden's highly refined business sense judged - was middling in quality.

If nothing else, the tables were clean.

After settling the group's account for the number of rooms they'd need for seven people - and shelling out a little extra to try and arrange a single room for herself - Arden had busied herself mingling with the patrons. Her goal: Get more information.

It wasn't like she had anything better to do.

Sighing, Arden slid heavily into one of the seats at the table the group had agreed to meet at. This is harder than my Uncle made it out to be. She reflected, resting chin in the palm of her hand and leaning her elbow on the table in front of her.

"Nothing new." Arden offered to the table - perhaps to herself if all of her companions had decided to make use of their time - "No one I talked to seems to know anything other than people don't come back from there lately." The silver haired mage grimaced, as if she'd swallowed something unpleasant. Then, sighing again, turned her attention to trying to flag a server down.

It wasn't like she had anything better to do.
