*Mortar, leaning against a wall, looks around with his blazing crimson eyes to find the source of the voice*
What do you need me for? I'm not exactly special.
*He chuckles at that, he's used to all the people just as and stronger than him. His small frame makes him seem not as useful, but what he can do in battle says otherwise*

[spoiler]it's a public place, they're not tracking anyone down in particular.[/spoiler] The evocati was talking with a small group of people, some interested in what he had to say, others not so much.
-
[spoiler]ah, okay.[/spoiler] *Mortar stands up and slowly walks over, somewhat interested in what this guy is saying*
-
"Four thousand for the campaign, plus any loot you're able to take in the field."
-
*Loot? This intrigued Mortar quite a lot. He normally does stuff for free, but this money can help him greatly* I'm sorry, I only heard that last part. What are you trying to get us to do?
-
"Tribune Quintus Tullius is recruiting Auxlilia and mercenarius for the coming campaign against the dark eldar."
-
Ooh, then you KNOW I'll be doing it. *Mortar is slyly grinning under his mask, when it came to combat, he is very skilled and sometimes likes to show his skills off. This is one of those times* Where do I sign?
-
The evocati reached into his a pouch and pulled a scroll out from it. It was a basic contract for a mercenarius, or mercenaries.
-
*Mortar takes it from him and pulls a pen from his pocket. Actions speak mightier than words, but occasionally the pen is stronger the sword. Like right now, when Mortar signs the slip of paper and returns it* What do I gotta do?
-
"Report to the assembly field at the end of the week. You'll be payed there."
-
Ah, will do sir. *Mortar chuckles slightly, his stash of money has been slowly depleting*
-
"You'll be added to the roster."
-
Cool. How many have you roped in so far?
-
"A few hundred for the Auxlilia, seventy mercenarius."
-
Ah, not a bad amount of guys on your side
-
"Plus the thousand legionnaires we already have, yes it is."
-
*Mortar has a sly grin under his mask, despite being a new recruit, he's been called... persuasive. And an army this size could be perfect to persuade* Damn, impressive.
-
"Now get moving mercenarius, I've got more men to recruit." [spoiler]you won't be in a position to persuade anyone, as a mercenarius, they trust you about as far as they can throw you.[/spoiler]
-
Okay. *Mortar follows you, wondering what he's gonna be doing*
-
The evocati showed him the assembly field and then left him. It would be several days before he had to report.
-
*Mortar looks around, taking in a deep breath, then forms a few shadow forms of himself and begins training in one verses one combat*
-
No one else is on the field and as far as you can tell no one watched you.
