Wild ARMs: Group 1, Chapter 1, Good Samaritans or Mercenaries...

The desperation in the mayor's voice made the bile rise up in the back of Jasper's throat. From the looks of things, the woman and the strange cloaked man hadn't even come here for the job, they just had bad timing.

Jasper cleared his throat and said, "Look, I'm here for the 1000 gella bounty offered for taking care of these hobs." He motioned towards the other Drifters. "I'll happily split the amount with any who help, and I'll purchase whatever I need from you before I leave town once I've earned my share." He could probably restock his supplies for free if he asked, but taking advantage of someone in these circumstances would only leave him with a bad taste in his mouth. Besides, the local merchants would probably give him a hefty discount if he came back with their missing relatives.

"If the hobs are coming today, our best bet would be to wait until they arrive and ambush them. Then we'll follow their backtrail to where they've taken the townspeople and finish off whatever force remains there." Jasper motioned towards the front office door. "Mr. Mayor, could you show us where the...uh, offerings...have been left?"
