She enters the guildhall like a warm breeze. Her dark red hair glows in the firelight like the noon sun of a summer's day: soft, welcoming, and gentle. But her eyes are a frigid blue filtered through the timelessness of jagged glacial ice. The fine dress of green silk marks her as a woman of riches, possibly nobility, possibly something else entirely. One thing is for sure though, she has more than enough money to hire any of the mercenaries here.

She appraises the room with the disinterested and calculating look of one choosing tools for a task rather than what one would expect when looking at other living, breathing, individuals. Though just about everyone in the guildhall is of the rougher and less than reputable side of society, she looks as if she's accustomed to dealing with the shady part of business. She speaks:

"I have a task that needs doing. A book was stolen from me and I want it back. I will discuss the details further with anyone who will hire on for this job. The reward is 200,000 gold pieces, to be divided amongst however many mercenaries wish to apply. So, who will I be working with?"

Isn't Lawful Neutral like, the ultimate mercenary alignment? Don't really care who lives or dies, you just care about honoring the deal.
