The guild hall grew quiet with the departure of the group heading to Orstwych to hunt boar. Athena held her hands together and closed her eyes as the door closed behind the group as she had often done when groups left for hunting missions. Her hands clasped tight together as though rehearsing a prayer inside. Artemis glanced towards the door then towards Athena and nodded sharply before continuing to polish the precious gem.

In Hygieas corner, she began analysing the samples given to her by the guild members to help with Farmer Francis' continuing problem with the weeds. Her constant mumbling to herself as she often did was lost in the hammering and sharpening coming from Artemis' forge. The heat filled the room until Hagor came around handing Hygiea, Artemis, Athena and Ulfgar sandwiches then opening the large windows that lined the walls in the guild marketplace. The breeze that drifted in freshened the air and cooled the room.

The guild was ready and waiting as most members were now out on jobs, each worker sending a silent prayer to the adventurers as they trudged the lands towards their destinations.
