Guard Duty
“I’ve received threats. I need visible security for market day. Stand there, look capable, and make sure nothing goes missing.”
Summary
Stand watch at a merchant’s stall in the Market Arcades during a busy market day. The merchant has received threats and wants visible deterrence.
Quest Giver
A merchant in the Solen Market Arcades. Posted through the Adventurer’s Guild board as an F-Rank contract.
Details
The job is straightforward: be present, be visible, keep an eye on the stall and the crowd. The Market Arcades are busy and loud. Most of the shift will be uneventful.
The merchant is nervous but vague about the nature of the threats. Could be a competitor. Could be nothing. Either way, they want bodies standing next to their inventory.
Reward
- 15 gp from the merchant (full pay)
- 8 gp if the stall is robbed during the shift (partial pay)
- A standing favor from the merchant

Nothing exploded. The merchant’s stock survived market day. Unglamorous, but the Guild counts it.
