Ioannes/Yahya had just arrived in the town, finding that it had barely survived an attack by demons in the previous night. So, the first thing he did was to ask the location of the local guard station, where he would then say:

"Hello there, my name is Ioannes from the Kingdom of Hellas, wanderer and...freelancer. I came here to ask if you have any work to do for me?" The head of the guard snorted, and said:

"If you're looking for payment, we don't have the coin; we need that for repairing the town." This of course caused Ioannes to nod a few times, before continuing:

"That's okay, sir, I have plenty of money from...previous adventures." It was hard to keep a straight face; it didn't help that the Mamluks encouraged honesty in him [i]before sending him to a mission that required secrecy.[/i] "What I mean, sir, is that I can work for free - no salary needed! Well, there's loot, and treasure, but I currently have all the things I need." Yep, honest to the point of almost shooting himself in the foot.

The Guard Captain looked him in the eye, and said:

"If you're really serious about helping, I just sent one of my men to watch a group of 'adventurers' that have gathered in a nearby tavern. Do you think you can do that, [i]boy[/i]?" 

"Sir, yes sir!" Ioannes/Yahya said with polite and eager respect.

And with that, he loped off to the tavern, encountering an auburn-haired woman storming off the place, being followed by a female gnome. Both looked beautiful, but Ioannes allowed himself to be distracted only for a second, before he ran up to them and said:

"Hey! Are you guys the adventuring party mentioned by the Guard Captain? If so, I've been sent here to watch you guys and perhaps help you!" The auburn-haired woman looked to be the leader.

"So, what are you doing or going to do?"
