Kerii went over towards the request board and began to look at all the requests she was able to take. There were quite a few different ones. Some were more simple and menial (although there weren't a lot of them left) and offered the same kind of pay Kerii was getting used to. Some were more difficult and thus resulted in a higher pay. However, there were luckily some of those quests that were sort of, more or less, somewhere in the middle. The requests she saw did result in a higher pay but didn't necessarily seem quite as hard. Sometimes requests that gave high pay for simple tasks were put out by people who had lots of money, such as nobles like the one in Magnolia who paid her and Videns quite a large sum of money for such a simple job, which was only setting up for a grand party that was to take place. If Magnolia always had parties like the one she helped set up for, she understood why Magnolia got the reputation it did.
After pondering which request she should take, she ended up taking yet another one put out by none other than Farmer Jim. The way he worded the request made it seem like it was fairly simple. Or well, more simple and easier than fighting off bandits and whatnot. The request said that there were vines growing weirdly. They were overtaking land in Marigold and would undoubtedly choke out the life of other plants around it, in effect, also destroying the food source and homes of many other animals. Unchecked, Kerii had no doubt in her mind that it would be cataclysmic for the food web in Marigold. Kerii had a deep connection with nature and would feel horrible if she didn't do anything to save it from this, most likely, invasive species. If it wasn't an invasive species, Kerii would be concerned. The food web typically didn't have something that behaved in a naturally invasive manner. Usually there was another species to keep the other in check. Kerii could only see a few possibilities. Either, those vines were in fact native to Marigold and there was a sudden decrease in the organism that kept it in check or that it was an invasive species. Either way, someone or something needed to deal with those plants. As a farmer, Farmer Jim must have known the importance of the wood web. Although he wasn't any kind of biologist, Kerii was willing to bet that he knew quite a bit about the plants around Marigold and the effects they have on the environment. Deciding that this was an urgent matter, she took the request off the board and rushed off to go towards Farmer Jim's house. Along the way, she checked her surroundings to try an look for the vines Farmer Jim was talking about. The closer she got to his house, the more she could see them. There were only a few of them so far though.
