You have some Apprentice Hours left for the month, now that you remember it. Might as well get them out of the way while you're already in town.
The <span class="mu-i">Collegia Arcana</span> partners with several local businesses in Port Caplan to provide the services of sorceresses-in-training. Most of the work is trivial things, practical uses of the fundamentals taught across the nine towers. After eight years of study, you could easily fulfill any of the apprentice tasks, though you do prefer to stick to your four areas of specialization. In those arts, you can stretch your meager <span class="mu-i">leben</span> further than even the Grand Mistress of those towers.
Plus, you've charted how much each task pays, and your four tend to always be near the top. Taking your sending stone from your purse, you call up a figment of the posted Apprentice Tasks to see where your hours are best spent.
<span class="mu-s">Apprentice Tasks</span>
<span class="mu-i">Black Tower - Modulation - The dockworker's guild requires assistance of a modulator to offload crates - Pay of 600 Marks</span>
<span class="mu-i">Red Tower - Decomposition - The wasteman's guild requests assistance from a decomposer to break down this month's waste - Pay of 750 Marks</span>

Boring as it sounds, helping the meat packers with the harvest pays the most, and lets you <span class="mu-i">process</span>. The ups and downs of your day have gone from one extreme to the other, rewarding you for your daring just as it punished you for your existence.
The Meat Packer's Guild is located near the southern gate, opposite the docks. A massive series of warehouses lined up against the town walls, packed together as tightly as books upon a shelf. The building you enter is an amalgamation of three, where stations go from slaughtering the animals brought in all the way through butchering and packing when needed.
