Etla Isle

An armored harpy creature deposited one thickly enveloped missive at the Fighter's Guild. It bore the golden guild seal of the Merchants, the penmanship a by-the-book calligraphy.

Guildmaster @Epitome  ,

It is no secret that our Gendarmes have developed into a force to be reckoned with. The local guard's dominion has deterred the garish rise in crime which preceded our former elections, and its success has led to a grand increase in its numbers. However, there are many a matter beyond our city walls which would benefit from the intervention of an armed force. There are small settlements with little means by which to dispatch local threats, old civilizations to be scoured and re-purposed, malicious entities lurking in the hills and in the wilds. The Fighter's Guild was once such a force of efficiency and exploration. I intend no affront in my observations, yet I have observed a stillness and a silence from your headquarters. There are no regular regimes, no deployment of paid peacemakers. During my own evening conditioning, I pass by the Guild to observe it in a state of darkness. I write to inquire upon your intent for future engagement, and above all, to offer aid in your duties as a Guildmaster should you require council.

Respectfully,
Master Dralt
Merchant Guildmaster
Master of Coin

Epitome's response would appear at Merchant's Guild, perhaps in front of Tak's office door or on his desk, mysteriously.

Her writing looks as though it were once eloquent, but has obviously fell out of  practice with trailing lines and sloppily dotted i's.

Master Dralt,

Alas, i came into the position of Guildmaster quite suddenly. We have been striving to update the Guild Rooster with very few and little results. It seems the time without a guildmaster has left interest in the organization weak. We are hoping to organize a dinner to draw back old members and perhaps raise new interest. Until we can raise this interest, the Guild will continue remain at a standstill. We have but perhaps five on our active members list. I hope we will be able to rectify this issue in the near future. If there is anything you need of me, or what little the Guild currently has to offer, please do not hesitate to inquire.

Sincerely, Epitome.

Difficulty - Novice
Party Requirements:  (1-2)
Reward: 1 Silver [8 copper after Guild Fees]
Description: (NPC) Miss Skritten’s odd pet has wandered lost in the wood. He goes by "Bouffels". His appearance more or less of a small, brown, fuzzy mass. Miss Skritten insists he is harmless, for the most part, but claims Bouffels spits what she describes as "nasty stuff" when frightened.

[Whisper Epitome if interested in taking this job.]

Thunk!

The infamous messenger pigeon, Gerrold, smacked into the window. Twine fastened the Guildmistress' response to his neck.

Master Squall,

Your olive branch is undeserved, but taken with great gratitude. The aspect of a second vampire in similar nature to the first I hardly find to be surprising, though unfortunate. I will make a posting in the Guild, asking for volunteers for forest patrols.

On the matter of the refugee, Titannia, the woman has my most deepest empathies, as I was in her same place some years ago. If she will have it, I would offer her shelter in the Guild itself, where she can move about freely under the protection of the residing members. As for a personal Guard, I will see to it she has the best available at the Guild's disposal.
Descriptions of her hunters will be posted by this evening on our information board. And if, should it come to pass, these individuals are captured alive, will the Gendarmes take them into the custody of the Kingdom? I wish to prevent any future missteps."

"Not related, " But how common of a last name is it, really? Come on. 

Edited.

Epitome's dumb pigeon returned to Tillius' window, crashing into it once in the fading light of the evening with a graceful thunk before pulling itself upright again. It pecked at the window. Like before, a letter was tied to the bird's neck.

Master Tillius,

I'm afraid my intentions in my previous letter were unclear to you, but fret not, as the guild knows in abundant clarity that this hunt is to subdue the creature only to be passed into the hands of Eileadorian law. "Hunted" was perhaps not the most effective term to express the Guild's intentions tonight.

Your concern is due noted and appreciated. I would hope not to be as blatantly foolish as the one made a spectacle of earlier this week.

We hope that you will join us in our pursuit this evening, for the hour is fast approaching. We have been led to believe the vampire is hiding in the swamps. Your skills may prove to be amply beneficial.

Sincerely,

-Epitome

A little about my previous experience:
I've been around furcadia for a long, long time. Recently became involved with RP on furcadia in January of 2015. Before that, I led some large RP groups in a MMO called Feral Heart.

Why I'd like to join: Great plot here, friendly players, and it's always active. :3

Abilities
(Natural)
- Elemental Energy, Lightning - A naturally-occurring energy, but it requires discipline and focus to be used effectively. Lightning strikes in battle are not auto-hit, and are treated the same as a physical attack in terms of hitting. The only exception to this is when the target is making direct contact with Epitome. A warning will be given to players, and a dice roll will determine strength.

- Keen Ears/Nose- Epitome is a fox, and has acute hearing and smell. Nothing that makes too big of a difference in role play typically.

-Nature Power - Ability to a limited extent manipulate plants.

-Fae Sense - Ability to Sense the presence of other fae in the immediate vicinity.

-Shapeshifting - Limited and different forms take different amounts of energy to shift into. If she uses too much energy, she will become temporarily "stuck" in a form.

- Energy Transfer - Able to transfer living energy between sources. Used primarily for healing. This ability also allows her to take energy from plants to use.

- Cooking- She can't do it.
 
Appearance
(Furcadia Description)
> Fur adorned with shades of light orange, underparts a creamy white, with legs and ears accented with onyx, the vixen's features seemed completely ordinary. However, one may see an unusual white spot peeking out on her forehead from behind a slanted curtain of medium-length hair. Her garb was sharp, a white blouse layered with a navy jacket with brass buttons paired with comfortable trousers and tall, brown boots with just a bit of a heel. A leather belt hung at her waist, saber resting against her left thigh and a dagger against her right, adorning  the belt as deadly charms.
