Description
"Give me another drink, please", a voice says. "As you wish", replies the bartenter."I've heard you know a couple of mercenaries, people who'd do anything for money."
"Well yeah, but where do you need them for?", the bartender asks.
"That's my own business."
"Ok, relax. Where'd you like to stay tonight?"
"Well, I was thinking about staying here for a while."
"Alright then, i'll send my son to let the mercenaries come tomorrow, as soon as possible."
"Sounds good. So how much does it cost to rent a room?", the man asks...
Still in the forest Hoguro and Tera are walking, mostly saying nothing. Then Tera stops moving. "I... I was worried." Hoguro turns around. "I was affraid you get killed on your adventure." "Don't worry, I can save myself", replies Hoguro. "You forgot your sword." Hoguro shocks and feel on the spot where his sword usually belongs. "Dangit, I did. But anyway, I know I can save myself now. And Lacari is just a few miles away, I can see the top of the temple."
Every temple in Crascera is built very high, so the temple is better connected to heaven than every other building. That's also a reason why they do funerals in these temples.
The next morning someone knocks on the door. "You may come in", the man says.
The door opens and five people come in. "We are the mercenaries of Vracorath (Vracorath is also known as 'the Dark City' or 'the city from the underworld') and we are ready to serve you - as long as you'll pay enough."
"Ah ofcourse. I'm sorry, I forgot you'd come by. If you wait a few minutes outside I can get dressed", the man says from out his bed.
The mercenaries wait outside for a moment and the man comes out. "Do you know a place where we can speak in private?"
"If you come with us...", one of the mercenaries says.
"Alright."
"Finally in Lacari!" says Hoguro and starts kissing the ground.
"Hoguro can you please stop that? People are looking", Tera says shy.
"Ahem, sorry," Hoguro replies.
They both walk through Lacari. "So what do you need here? I mean, why did we go to Lacari?" Tera asks after a moment.
"Nothing acually. Maybe just for a souvenir as proof I've been there for my dad." Hoguro replies, "Let's look over there, they probably have lots of souvenirs."
"Here we are," a mercenary says.
They're in a private part of the inn. "So tell us, what is your problem, what can we do and what are you planning to pay us?" Another mercenary says. The former mercenary gives him a stub. "Do you want to lose our first costumer in months? So no brutal acts untill we know our mission and get paid."
"That doesn't matter right now", the strange man says. "This mission may be very hard, painfull and probably deadly to you. I ask for your help because I lost something. Five orbs to be exactly. Those orbs are a family heirloom. Some thieves stole them from me and sold them all over the country. All I ask from you is to bring those orbs back to me and I'll pay you a fair price."
"Do you know where to find them?" Another mercenary asks.
"No, I'm sorry. All I know is these orbs were brought all over the country."
"And about how much are we talking about?" The brutal mercenary asks.
"Let's say 7500 Grulics, each."
"That's a lot of money for a man who stays in an inn like this", the oldest of the mercenaries says.
"There are other things to worry about. I prefer you to pay your attention to the mission I gave you."
"That's right. I'm sorry. Allright, we split up... ," the eldest says.

You should make a new paragraph for each spoken sentence, and add [name] said or something to at least half of them, that way people don't get confused. Otherwise, pretty good story so far.
