This long square piece of cork has been pinned to the wall, next to the supply cabinet. Each note is written in either Josa's courtly, elven style script or Sylvie's precise, well articulated handwriting. One piece of paper is three-pinned to the top, having rules written on it.

-RULES!

1. Base fee is 25 marks for a job; often negotiated higher and many offer more for dangerous jobs.
2. Contact Josa for details on a job.
3. No romance/love jobs.
4. Almost any other job, from dangerous to mundane is added on.

- Sahuagin at the docks are offering gold for roc feathers, 20 marks per feather. Extra money possible from shocker lizard bounties. Requires travel.
- Ms. Windee of Purinn wants her lost cat found. 25 marks, standard fee. Not dangerous.
- Mr. Gustival of Seira's temple offers work of being a tourguide and bodyguard to a friend. 25 marks per day, up to one week of work.
- Mr. Farzahd requires entertainment for an upcoming fete.  Want 'extraordinary' entertainment. Negotiable.
- Caravan from Balmuria to Parsifal needs guards. Standard fee.
- Silver Star Books requests help with an obscure book translation. Unusual request but repeat customer! Make them HAPPY!

Ebiris

Janson will help reunite Ms Windee and her cat.

Corwin

Taking the bodyguard/tourguide job with Sylvie.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Yuthirin

I think I'll take the caravan job. Maybe bring Noel and/or Branna.
What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Since I was originally planning to go with an NPC because I had to leave early, and that didn't end up being a problem, I can either go with Wayland to do some caravan guarding (unless he wants to take Branna with him), or go try entertainment with one of the npcs. Either works fine for me.
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

The first note is pinned to the top, underlined.

- Sinnah Whiterose requests help with troubling letters she has received. Payment is minimal, requesting as a friend of Whimsical Sweets. We owe the House of Suffering. - Josa Done by Aaeru and Silver.

The next two are written neatly in Sylvie's handwriting.

- Captain Hamilton of the Dawn Chaser needs neutral agent for negotiations. Requires finesse, social graces and poise. That or bribery, but that's rather zero sum.
- Knight Canel of Purinn wishes to hire Whimisical Sweets for 'talent scouting' and research. Promises good money on Purinn's dime. Government money's worked out before. - Janson and Sylvie KO'ed it.

The next few are written by Josa

- Goldwind Crematorum needs brave souls who can investigate a possible clog in the piping from the Inferno to the crematorium. For mercy's sake, make sure Simmer goes or have magic against heat. - Done by Wayland and Simmer.
- Magus Gallbath requests Whimsical Sweet's aid in magical experiments and the matter of Gracel. He is offering good coin for it.

At the bottom a note has been repinned to the board with added commentary in Josa's flowing script:

- Sahuagin at the docks are offering gold for roc feathers, 20 marks per feather. Extra money possible from shocker lizard bounties. Requires travel, also promises good gold income if those pesky lizards are righteously exterminated. We need gold.

All of these are written in Josa's script.

- Filazan, scholar of Azuth is looking for bodyguards for a trip into the Barbarian Lands. Those with natural lore and knowledge of nature preferred.
- Dacote Anband of Silver Star Books requests aid in deciphering a troublesome cypher. Anyone who can decipher old texts is useful; magical means such as Comprehend Languages have not been effective.
- Holycoin Mia Golddswar is looking to to establish future contracts with merchant houses and mercenary groups. Getting into Waukeenite business could be hugely profitable. This isn't a job as much as an attempt to line up more work. Requires tact, diplomacy, flattery and other such virtues.
- Travis of the Western Reaches insists sinister pegasi are stalking him and is offering rates to find and stop them. May be a wild goose chase.

Again, all Josa's script:

- The Church of Waukeen requests two mediators with combat solving ability for a possibly dangerous negotiation. The pay is 200 marks per negotiator. If any bounties or treasure is obtained, it will be a 50/50 split between the church and Whimsical Sweets.
- Mr. Gustival the Church of the Golden Flames requires a single bodyguard for two nights of work. The fee is 25 marks per night with bonuses for good performance and any danger.
- Mr. Farzahd of the Fiefdoms has sent us a special request. He requires help with magic and a curse in Wetwind Harbor. Magical transport to and fro will be provided, the fee is 500 marks, tripled on success.
- Reports of dire rats and oozes are coming from the Old City. There is a reward of 10 marks per dire rat and 50 marks per ooze.
- Captain Hamilton requests our services, on a matter to be discussed.

All of these are written in an odd, flowery script. Literally, it's like someone made writing out of flower-shapes. It even smells like flower perfume. Huh.

- Dacote Anband of Silver Star Books is requesting two people for escort duty. Good combat skills preferred.
- Mackham Collections need someone to sort and organize copper coinages. One person job, only counting skills required.
- The Church of the Ever-Vigilant has requested 1-2 people for aid. No particular types required.
- Anna, Sylvie's mother, asks for someone to come over to help her with strange noises heard at night.
- Continued reports of oozes are coming from the Old City. There is a reward of 150 marks per ooze.

This job is written with gold ink, and with little coins and stars around it.

- The Temple of Waukeen desires a wizard, a cleric and a bard for impressing visiting marid clientele.
