☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Greetings.
-- May good health be with Your Highness. I see that you have much to do, so please excuse me for bothering you so soon and for not coming alone. The reason for the second visit is, of course, known to you, although we only learned by chance from the city guard that it is not recommended to travel alone.

Erephir would have liked to deal with the witchcraft/murder that is happening in the streets of Margel, but she was too shy to tell Raphael about it.

-- In general, thank you for the appointment. Now that we have met, we have hired two new warriors; in my opinion, the squad is quite promising. By the way, I believe I should also thank you for filling one of the vacancies. Thank you for your concern, -- another bow. -- To restore the squad's condition, which was in poor shape under my predecessor... If it is not forbidden, could we conclude a monthly contract with some restaurant? My secretary has all the numbers on this; as far as I understand, we can only slightly increase expenses, but significantly increase efficiency, with minimal effort.

-- Also, I have a second profession: I am a blacksmith. Not as good as the owner of Hellfire, but I still have a habit of doing "flexible forging," creating items for specific situations. Would it be difficult for you to help us with this? For example, by providing access to a forge and materials. Perhaps for a fee. At your discretion. I would even like to think that setting up a forge in Carneol could pay off in the long run, given our constant needs, but I will not insist on something I do not know for sure.

Erephir had other questions, but perhaps we can discuss them without Raphael...
