(@Shezarr: There wouldn't be any Falmer that far north to raid any caravans. They live almost exclusively in the southern Rift in what remains of Mereth.)

Hugaldr read the bounty again. "It asks for those interested to head to the Chieftain's longhouse here in Yorgrim.

"That's not far from here." Jof muttered.

The Companions' mead hall of Ylgermet was located on the northern part of the town, near the outskirts and close to the docks. During the time after the Return it was a major hub for raiders going to Dwemereth.

"The Chieftain will probably give out more information on the dragon." Hugaldr assumed. "The bounty didn't mention any particular location, just the rough sightings in the southern farmlands and the misisng people reports on the road leading to Yorgrim."

The hunter placed the bounty on the main hall's table and Jof picked it up. "Not coming, Hugaldr?"

"I'd rather not be burned alive." The hunter replied. "I'm sure a troll or a sabertooth will start causing problems soon enough, I'll stick to those jobs."

Jof shrugged. He had never fought a dragon, but the pay was better than any job he had ever taken so he was willing to try. ''Come to think of it, when was the last dragon sighting? ''He couldn't recall, it had been quite a few years.

Dragons mostly kept to their lairs. It was rare to see a dragon coming this close to a human settlement, so there was almost no one to pay to hunt them. As such only those seeking glory ever went looking for dragons, most didn't return.

Slaying a dragon is one of the greatest feats a warrior can accomplish. Jof reflected. If he accomplished such a task he would be remembered as a great hero for generations. Fame and a barrel full of gold. It was quite the alluring reward, but killing a dragon alone was impossible. He was no great tongue after all. He looked over at Reyl, she seemed interested in the job. ''A healer would be a great help against a dragon, but still not enough to take one down. Maybe I should wait for the Captain to come back from that Orc quest.''

The reward for killing the dragon was quite large. 10000 Eyrir, with an extra 3000 paid up front. One could live for years quite luxuriously with that kind of gold. Though that was if only one person completeted the quest. If there were more then the reward would need to be split among them.

That made Jof reconsider waiting for the Captain, it would mean splitting the reward with too many people. At that rate it would be better to just to hunt sabertooths or a troll like Hugaldr suggested. He folded the bounty and placed it in his small pouch on his belt. "I'm going to hunt that beast, are you coming with?" He asked Reyl.
