Now, let's get started.

Your first job involves the Striped Kerubs. One of the farmers here, Ager, has lost his farm to them already, and now they've moved into the nearby fields.

If we don't act fast, Poeta risks losing the majority of this season's harvest.

Exactly.

My more experienced soldiers have already left to take care of problems out by Cliona Lake. So what I need you to do, your character, is hunt some Striped Kerubs for me.

They shouldn't be too hard to put down. They're weakest of their tribe, and end up running away about as frequently as most Asmodians.

You'll find Striped Kerubs all around here, but you'll need to get a move on or else the crops will be ruined before the harvest.

Remember, these are your proving grounds, your character. You fail these first few jobs, you can kiss your mercenary career goodbye.

What? You're refusing a job?!

Well, there are plenty of others waiting to fill your shoes. Get out of here--I've important work to do.

Back already, your character?

So, have you done the work I gave you?

Nice work! Maybe Elpas was right to recommend you after all.

Here's your Kinah. Don't spend it all at once.

1. Hunt Striped Kerubs in the Akarios Plains(/3).

2. Report back to Mires.

Mires wants you to catch the Striped Kerubs that are threatening farms throughout the Akarios Plains.

Mires told you to get rid of the Striped Kerubs that were ransacking farms all over the Akarios Plains. You succeeded admirably.
