"So the gang's leader was corrupted..." she considers silently for a few moments. "Pardon an old woman a moment of thought. Anyhow.. while the name Helmontra means nothing to my memory, it does sound like some manner of patron or master of this bandit. Petram is a village to the north in Primium. Before I continue however, I am certain you would like to know of your rewards."
Sandra leaves through the forest of paperwork on her desk until she finds the one she is looking for, carefully extracting it from the mound. "Please hand this in to Erin after our meeting for your reward. Ninety silver each and if I am not mistaken, accolades which will ascend you all to expert rank. Congratulations. Erin will see the paperwork done quickly so you may requisition expert rank gear."
Having congratulated you all for your promotions, Sandra leafs through a folder. "Now...for Petram, I would like to send your group north to investigate and see if this Helmontra may indeed be an akuma. If it is, your mission to to eliminate it. If there is no akuma, I would still very much like to know this Helmontra's connection. There is another hunter I would like to send with you as a guide as she is originally from Petram. She may be of valuable assistance as a guide. While I reach out to her, how about you take the rest of the day to your own devices and we will meet at sun up."
so 90 silver for each of you, and if I've not miscounted,you should have definitely reached your three novice accolades in order to rank up to expert. Protecting the caravan from Bandit's and deceivers alike, your encounter with the akuma and racing the sick merchants back, and dealing with the Hognose gang. The battle house party members will also have 1 expert accolade in addition for the warchmogger.
