"We can't all live here," Brianna said, looking over Sheila's small apartment.
It was one of those semi-permanently rented spots over one of the better inns in town. The kind of thing a warrior on call to travel would have, but certainly not something comfortable for three people, much less three adults and two children.
"How do you train in this place?" Ranma asked, confused.
"I don't," Sheila said. "I train over that way, in one of the hunting preserves."
"We've got to go house-hunting," Brianna said.
"House-hunting?" Sheila said incredulous. "All we have to do is find a bit of unclaimed space and build a house...it shouldn't take too long."
"And don't forget my lab," Brianna said.
"Your lab..." Sheila blinked. "Technology is illegal here, Bri."
"But we're going out beyond the bounds of the governments," Sheila observed. "So it's a loophole."
Sheila thought about it for a moment and sighed.
"Maybe," Sheila said. "You have a point, but that does make the situation a little bit more...touchy. Not that there aren't plenty of mages doing dangerous stuff in the middle of no where, so it couldn't be too much of a change."
"What's this?" Ranma asked, looking at a piece of paper thrown on the desk.
"Oh that's just a bit of junk," Sheila said. "They advertise these 'exotic' locations with 'spatious' accomdations at cut-right prices. And it's all dungeons and ruins infested with monsters...never been worth the trouble to...."
"What does it say?" Brianna asked.
"Yeah, I'll probably know what the problem is," Sheila said.
"It says," Ranma started...
"That was an elf that hunted down all his family because they betrayed their people to some vampires," Sheila told them. (persona my brother plated in a LARP)
"Something about insectoid monsters that use other creatures as egg hosts."
"Eww...plague rats. Don't eat them, you'll be sick for weeks."
"Oh yeah, just have to clear out the golems and other such automatons."
"Gargoyles," Sheila said. "Lots of stupid, man-eating gargoyles."
