Yang Bethlehem

Seeing her guild master walked away made her apprehensive and somewhat disappointed in herself, perhaps she should have taken a more stiffer stance against it?

No. She shook her head at that, it would be against her principle if she had simply let innocents suffer while she stood and do nothing.

Still, she can somewhat sympathized with Bart position. They, was his responsibility, and he too had to think about their position. This was supported by the other three of the guild members, to which she nodded towards Neil respectfully. It seemed like he spoke for Bart when he's gone.

"Understood, we shall do our best to abide by it, senior." Yang replied with a hand over fist salute.

With that, Yang retired for the night early.

Before dawn rises, Yang got up early out of habit and exit the guild house momentarily. She brushed her hair aside and did warm up stretches, limbering her entire body up for half an hour before she took a stance.

Got to practice whenever I get the chance. Yang let out a long breathe within the pit of her stomach, oxygen and air filled her as she did slow motions of her martial arts first before increasing its speed. Yang did this constantly as she imagined and shadow box her master, it was only then did she moved seriously and in a flurry of precise but drilled motions of attacks.

She continued on as the dark hours slowly turned into a rising dawn, and she kept practicing until she finally see her shadow clearly.

Morning already? She panted before headed inside, greeting whoever that rose early with a smile and wave. Taking a quick shower to cleanse herself, she emerged from it much more refreshed, dried herself and head downwards.

There, she was greeted with Neil who was posting papers on a board. That was the thing that caught her attention as she moved towards him.

"Are you well?" She approached Neil and asked bluntly as she took a glance to paper he stuck onto the wall briefly before back to him. Yang rested a hand on his shoulder and looked at him with concern closely, her eyes studied his face and body carefully for any outward sickness or illness. "If there's something wrong, there's no need to hide it."

This also gave Neil a close up to Yang and he could feel his arm pressed against her and inadvertently, her bosom as well. Something that Yang was unaware of, more concerned with Neil health as she was raised in a temple and had hundred of others she would call brothers and sisters.

Ditzy Stoneclub

It was a bright sunny day, one that Ditzy appreciated as he looked at the beautiful sky. His steps slow and awkward as he was so engrossed at the sky he often stumbled a bit in his steps before he regained some his balance.

Ah, stand straight, stand straight. He repeated to himself, stood still and straight like a pole before he laughed childishly to take the next step confidently. The large backpack of his seemed mismatched with a huge punching bag that resembled a the typical goblin huge clubs, strapped at the top of his backpack.

I wonder how the new tribe look like. Ditzy wondered, so engrossed in it and hadn't even noticed that his path was joined by two others until he had reached the gates of the guild.

Oh, pretty. His eyes raised in amazement and curiosity, his eyes looked around until he saw at the sides that there was two other people next to him. He also then saw another orange hair human who stood at the gates greeting them all.

Ditzy didn't react to them first until he smiled at them and did a small wave to them alongside a slow in greetings "Hel-lo."

He took a moment to think as he process what Bart said, the name being called the guild seemed nice. He can remember it easily, same with the short name Bart. He wasn't sure if he can pronounce Bartholomew Barker easily, maybe with practice perhaps?

Oh, he spoke again. Ditzy refocused his attention to Bart, his head tilted to the side as the others moved in first before he realized he should do the same. He walked forward as quickly as he can, or as fast as a hob-goblin could without tripping himself down.

Once he was inside, he marveled at everything. There was just so many colors and things! He also never seen the different monsters and humans all so congregated under one roof. So much so he missed the first person introducing themselves.

"I'm Ditzy Stoneclub!" He said slowly in a excitable manner, and wave a hand to everyone.

The most prominent feature to everyone, was the two horns above his red haired head. One larger than the other which clearly symbolized and show that he was a hob-goblin alongside his height. However, the oddest thing aside from his getup was the fact he was a male monster. Mostly noted as one can see the tone body and arm, the horns and most of all, the lack of the iconic large breast that hob-goblins that famed for.

All in all, Ditzy looked like a male teenager that had dressed up as a hob-goblin. Afterwards, there was an awkward silence as that was all Ditzy said.

Oh yeah, he should also tell them what he can do as well. Ditzy looked around and his gaze went outside, without a word he moved outside the guild house and remembered those scattered small rocks. He picked two up in his hands, just the right size of his palm.

He eagerly went back inside, and stumbled on his feet in his haste. He took one, two steps forward before he tumbled down face first with a loud thud. The backpack adding to the weight of the impact.

"Ow." Ditzy slowly said as he dusted himself before he regained his cheerful demeanor as he held out the two rock in his hand for them to see. "I can do this!"

Ditzy hand squeezed around the rock, a strange creaking sounds slowly resound even as Ditzy hand shook with the rock.

Slowly, the rock had a small crack and akin to a dish falling to the floor, simply cracked open like eggs. Small specks of the rock now reduced to stone sizes and flew apart. Demonstrating the strength needed to do so.

But Ditzy was not done, unbeknownst to them as he continued smiling and grinding sound followed as those stones grounded against each other with his hand movement.

Like a hammer against stones,it was now crushed as flakes escaped between his fingers and reduced to small peddles now.

That's when Ditzy brought both hands together forcefully into a slap and rubbed it vigorously back and forth with enough strength that it would have normal human hands bled, for Ditzy however, all it did was created more dust from his hands.

After a moment more, he finally stopped and reveal his hands. It was white and chalky, the rocks in his hands no more and only powder was left. Plastered on Ditzy face was his biggest smile as he proudly said. "I can make powder for mortar!"

Lily Falena

Lilly was using her wings to float a bit above the ground, Seeing the many different faces of the new members she was unimpressed. "Mr.Bart would you be able to give us a brief tour of your guild?" She asked him her eyes looking to the hob goblin standing beside her. Covering her nose with a handkerchief not wanting to smell whatever his musk would be, She wanted to see what the guild could offer her. As well as the chance of running into her sister and see the stupid look on her face, It would be a great pleasure to see the stupid look on her sister's face.

Maria Falena

Maria was eating her breakfast requesting to Bart that she wanted to take the "Let No Men Put Asunder" quest, The moth woman was speaking with Rebecca. "Umm so Miss Rebecca...I was wondering...what do you like to do in your...free time?" She said trying to make small talk with her. Wanting to get to know her room mate better.

Bast Ragoczy

"Hm... You have a point..." Bast replied to Talia, Haley and Neil, tapping his fingers on the top of his cane with a thoughtful expression.

"Well... Whatever it may be your decision, I'm looking forward to the consequences it will bring. All this situation looks so... entertaining..." Bast said with a mysterious smile as he left for the night.

---

The night was tranquil, and the next day would prove to be anything but bland and boring.
When he woke up, the first things he saw was the blonde girl from yesterday, practicing her martial arts in a serie of calculated and precise movements and Neil in his usual morning task, pinning the new requests on the board.

"Impressive, Miss Yang. You certainly is more than just a pretty face." Bast said, clapping as she finished her practice and went to talk with Neil.

If it wasn't for her, Bast would have missed it, but just like she said, Neil had a... different expression on his face. Sadness perhaps?

"I have to agree with Yang here... Young man, certainly there is something bothering you." Bartholomew said, looking to Neil curiously.

But before Neil could answer or Bast himself could say anything more, they were interrupted by the new arrivals. An... interesting hobgoblin, who was too eager to show his abilities of crushing rocks barehanded, an adorable, but a bit arrogant mothwoman, covering her nose obviously annoyed by the hobgoblin's presence and a lizard woman with a large pack on her back... Maybe she was a blacksmith or something?

"It's always amusing to see new faces. I never get tired of watching the many different types of people that walk through this door." Bast said, with a smile on his face.

"Hope you had a good night of sleep, Bartholomew, my friend." Bart said, tipping his hat to Bart in a discreet greeting.

"I'm sure that most here already know me, but to those who don't, I feel like it would be rude to not introduce myself properly. My name is Bast, Bast Ragoczy. It's a pleasure to meet so many interesting new faces." Bast said, with an overly formal bow.

When he raised his head, he saw that Eilidh coming from her quarters.
"Eilidh, my dear! Beautiful as always... I hope you had a good night of sleep." Bast said, with a chuckle.

Walking towards the request board, Bast gave a quick look at the new requests.
"Hm... I..." Bast started to say, but was interrupted when he felt a pulse of a very, very familiar magical energy. His own magic energy. It was the card he had given to Araghast... It was finally activated.

At first, he was surprised when he felt that, but slowly, a roguish and mischievous smirk crept up on his face as he tapped his fingers on top of his cane.

"Eilidh, my dear. I'm sorry but I have a rather... interesting meeting to attend to. I'm afraid I won't be able to take you this time, but I'm will be back soon, I promise." Bast said to her, turning to Bartholomew shortly after.

"Bartholomew, my friend. I'm afraid I won't be able to accept a request today. This time I have a request of my own to attend. But don't worry, I'll be going as myself, and not as a member of the guild." Bast said, with the same smirk on his face.

Whatever it may be that happened was certainly important. That was not Bast's usual mischievous smile. It was hard to decipher which emotions that smirk hided, but it was certainly incredibly suspicious and uncomfortable.

"I was starting to think he would never figure it out... I wonder who helped him..." Bast thought to himself.

"...Interesting" Bast muttered to himself, walking away as cards appeared and started spinning around him until he was no long visible inside the whirlwind of cards, stopping spinning just a second after as they flew away on the wind, in a cloud of cards.
In the blink of an eye, just like that, Bast was no longer there. Unlike the carpet of cards he sometimes used to move himself, this time he did something entirely different. He appeared to be in a hurry.

Freyr

"Good morning, Neil, Yang, Bast..." Freyr said in a serious greeting, almost devoid of emotions.

That morning, Freyr was certainly looking a bit better than the day before, but there was still something different on him. He was still a bit troubled by all that situation from the day before. Not even the new arrivals were able to make him feel better. Even though he greeted them, he seemed to be still lost on his thoughts when he spoke to them.

"I'm Freyr. I look forward in working with you all." Freyr said to the Mothwoman, the Lizardwoman and the Hobgoblin.

Just after finishing it, he stood up to read the requests on the board. Of all the requests on that day, maybe the 'Strange Tale' one would be the best for him. Being in a forest always helped him to think clearer and relax.

"I think I'll take the 'Strange Tale' one. It will be good to be in a forest again, to help my to think a bit clearer." Freyr said, looking to Bartholomew and the others.

"Anyone who might want to come with me is more than welcome. Albeit I may be a bit more silent today than the usual." he said, with a neutral expression on his face.

@PaulHaynek

When Eilidh made her way into the main hall from her ground floor bedroom, she yawned and accepted Bast's flirting with a blush far milder than usual, and a dignified bow, coupled with a radiant smile. Oh dear...

"Thank you, Bast. I slept well." she replied as she made her way over to the board. Before she should inquire as to Bast's own plans, he informed her that he had his own business to take care of today. Eilidh was surprised how disappointed she was, but graciously acknoledged his apology and wished him farewell and good luck. Eilidh then turned her attention to the board, and looked at the quest. There didn't seen to be any quest designed to test her merit as a warrior, but there was one that tested her merit as an adventurer. She'd almost forgotten how much she enjoyed to travel in her recent self-reflection. She turned to Bartholemew.

"I shall take the topmost quest on this board, signed by Samuel Cubbage."

She was about to retire to her room and arm up in preparation to leave, when she saw the Hob-Goblin boy enter the guild. She watched him impassively. He didn't seem the brightest, but his strength was impressive, and he seemed good-natured enough. Eilidh trotted up to him. Ditzy would be approached by a Centaur that, due to her half-horse stature, was even taller than him, rather pretty, with long brown hair adorned with a single tribal braid, blood red eyes, and rather...unconstricting leather armor that showed far more of her ample cleavage that would be acceptable in human society.

"You will definitely be a great help to us. My name is Eilidh Chiron. Pleased to meet you."

Once again, Rebecca was early to rise and spend the early hours of the morning praying, before bathing, dressing and breaking fast. When all that was done, she checked the board, new quests posted today. One immediately stuck out to her. The one talking about an abandoned church in Pravar. Rebecca went to sit down. Hmmm....could it be? There must be many churches in Southern Pravar, and some of them must be abandoned. But still. What if? What if it was the old Church of the Benevolent Queen? The Church that Rebecca herself had called home, and was the Priestess of, in days gone by.

She sat down to ponder this, and was approached by her roommate, the Mothgirl. Rebecca didn't exactly approve of Maria. She dressed to flaunt her sinful curves. She also flirted with the innocent and vulnerable Minotaur Magnus. That annoyed Rebecca more than she could explain. In Rebecca's opinion, if there ever was a Monster Girl who needed to pray for forgiveness from the Gods, it was Maria. Still, she was attempting to make civil conversation, and Rebecca should answer in kind.

"In my free time, and when I am not in prayer, I like to cook, and tend to the Guild's garden. I find these acts therapeutic and calming. What about you? What do you enjoy in your free time?"

Maria Falena

Maria was eating some berries having some red stains on her face, Wiping her face quickly with a handkerchief not wanting to make a mess of her clothing. Today she was wearing something more conservative with a long flowing end of her dress, The dress having many frills on the shoulder and collar of her dress. And most importantly the dress showing no cleavage, The color of the dress was a dark green. "Oh you like tending to your garden...When i was alone i use to water the trees, plants and food in my forest, I had much of my friends and many other animals...that i took care of" She said softly still eating her breakfast. When she referred to her friends she meant other insects in the forest.

"I like reading,practicing my magic...oh and sewing clothing" She added sounding excited by sharing her interest, "Do you like...sewing?" She asked now sounding like she was nervous again. She had this strange feeling that Rebecca did not like her, A reason she was afraid to find out.

Magnus felt the night drag on, and opened his coinpurse of pay to give 50 coins to the guild's funds. That would leave him with 25, which was certainly enough to get by on for a week or so. Literally too tired from the whole ordeal, he barely heard Maria ask about his interests before he left. Turning back to her, he scratched the back of his head to think on it, saying: "I like hunting and cooking." he said, letting out a massive yawn before turning back to the guild, wiping sleep from his eyes as he went straight to bed.

It wouldn't be until the morning that he realized he never asked her interests back...which frankly was awfully rude of him.

---

Getting up in a hurry to go downstairs to ask Maria what her interests were, he was sidetracked by the arrival of new guild members, one of which showed off an impressive feat of strength. Well, I mean, it was just crushing rocks, but still, that was pretty cool to Magnus! Giving a moment of greeting to the newcomers, Magnus stood before them all before Bart would give them a breakdown. "H-Hi, I'm Magnus! I hope you all like it here and that we can get along. I-If you guys want." he managed, heading over to the guild board, having forgotten that he had his helmet on, that was probably pretty creepy.

However, upon seeing the jobs posted, Magnus' eyes widened as he saw one posted by the same man that looked like Neil...well, now it wasn't even a question of which one to take. Even better yet, was that Freyr was also going...and that it was in a forest! Having spent a bit of time researching what the flowers Kyle needed looked like, he felt confident that he'd be able to find any that they came across in their foray into the forest. Even if Morning Light flowers were kinda rare, he at least knew what they looked like now. Running over to Freyr, and not noticing that Nephele had been peering over his shoulder at the jobs, Magnus greeted his first friend at the guild. "Freyr! Mind if I come with you? I-I need to find some flowers for another request and I figured...going to a forest would be perfect. And I've got some questions for this man anyways." he said, no doubt smiling behind his mask from the positive energy he radiated. Freyr seemed a bit down, but maybe some adventure and exploration would put some pep in his step.

...Halfway down the road, Magnus would remember that he forgot to reply to Maria AGAIN. But now it was way too late to not be awkward.

Another day began with the morning light cracking through the window of the room Nephele and Neil shared, the young man having already left to go post the new jobs. Taking a moment to stretch and rake her hair into place with her claws, Nephele got dressed and headed downstairs. Oddities aplenty seemed to gather at the guild, seeing as now there was a lizardkin, another mothwoman, and of all things another male monster. Smiling slightly at the new guildmates, she hoped to get along with the lizard woman, seeing as they were both cold-blooded and all. As flimsy a reasoning as that was to figure they could get along, she had a general idea of their dispositions watching them. From the handkerchief's cleanliness and fine fabric, she assumed the moth was a rich, haughty type that didn't socialize well. Ditzy, as he had proclaimed himself, was rather energetic, but seemed a bit on the simple side. Still, she'd never heard of a goblin, hob or not crushing rocks with their bare hands. Lastly, the lizard woman seemed all business and confident in her skills, immediately asking for the proper facilities to get straight to it.

Taking a second glance to the small moth girl, Nephele couldn't help but notice a faint resemblance to Maria...were they perhaps siblings? Perhaps it was just coincidence...shaking the feeling off, she was about to go engage Maria in conversation to find out, but saw that she had already engaged Rebecca in conversation. Figuring this might lead to them going on a job together, Nephele simply went to the job board and examined the available quests. One stood out however, primarily due to Neil's comments...a man that looked like him? Intriguing...perhaps this would give her a clue as to what secret Neil was trying to conceive. Or perhaps a hint at his heritage. However, seeing as Magnus was already moving to take that request, she instead silently poked over the others, settling on [Escort Quest.]

"Bart, I will be assisting this "Ian" in escorting someone. Please excuse me." she said in passing, giving the newcomers a faint greeting smile, walking past as she said: "I hope you all enjoy it here." Heading out onto the road, she didn't give much time to reply to her greeting before she was off to meet with Ian in Boreal Port.

@Silver Carrot Eilidh

Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy tilted his head to the side from the numerous and different reaction from everyone, he had his smile but he did felt a bit deflated when all of them didn't really seemed to care much.

I suppose dad was right, crushing stones isn't that hard.

At the corner of his eyes, Ditzy looked upwards when he saw a shadow over him and was met with a centaur.

He gawked in awe and curiosity, Ditzy had never seen a centaur before. To see one for real was a great experience for him, more so when she was perhaps the only one that talked to him afterwards.

"Thank you, Ei-lidh C-Chi-ron." Ditzy said slowly and bowed to her, his mind catching up slowly after her introduction to him. He extended his hand towards her for a handshake excitedly, one that his father taught him when he meet with others, and gave her the biggest smile to her. "Let's be friends!"

Oh, I should be careful. Ditzy remembered after his offer of handshake, he didn't wanted to squeeze to hard on Eilidh hands. More so when she had just witnessed him what he can do with his grip.

@The Irish Tree

Sealenne looked at him with a raised brow. I like crafting and dwarvish sports." she said in reaction. She ignored the guy cracking stone she probably would fix under impulse, but the guy just saying that out of the blue surprised her. She then saw another woman say a warm greeting after talking with Bart. "Thank you?" she said as the woman passed.

She knew she definitely get used to the amount of people going in and out.

~@Dealdric~

"Well, Bart, all I need to know is what you want me to do, and if you have a forge here. Then, I'll be working like no tomorrow. Besides, the place still needs a little work and the doors look like they could be reinforced."

"Oh we have a furnace at the back. It's behind this guild along with the armory. You can take a look at it if you'd like. The Dwarves built it, err... repaired it for us as a payment." Bart replied. "Although, we don't exactly have anything to forge or materials to use for forging. We just started out after all so it's going to take a while before we actually fill up our inventory." He continued. "Right now, we just complete requests and hope we get something nifty in return."

"Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here. If you want to go questing, the request board's just over there." Bart said before shifting his attention to the petite Mothwoman, leaving you to decide what to do next.

~@Eviledd1984 (LIL & MAR), @Silver Carrot (REB)~

"Mr.Bart would you be able to give us a brief tour of your guild?"

After talking to the bipedal lizard, Bart addressed you. "Ah, of course. Follow me."

As the guild went about their businesses, Lily and Bart began touring the The Guild's headquarters. "It was a wreck when we first started but after a few days of hard work, we managed to turn it into this." He motioned to the entire building. "More specifically, we did a quest for a group of non-monster Dwarves and they decided to repair this building as payment. It's actually pretty recent, you know?"

Bart began leading Lily to the right side of the guild. "Up on the second floor is where the members sleep. We had to share rooms since there's more of us than there are rooms. But it's only two each so it's not that cramped."

Upon reaching Bart reached for the door and opened it. "And here's the dining area. Behind this is the kitchen." The guild master said. However, on the dining table was another Mothwoman like Lily. One that she most likely recognized.

Meanwhile, Maria and Rebecca continued conversing up until Bart's entrance.

~@Restalaan (YNG)~

"Are you well? If there's something wrong, there's no need to hide it."

"Oh, ahh... uhhh..." Neil was mesemerized by something for a moment before shaking his head. "It's-It's nothing, Miss Yang." He said as his began to color red.

"It's just uhh, I was planning on asking for some help from a friend, another guildmate, earlier but uhh..." Neil made a gulp. "She left. Said her farewells. Uhh, before any of you were up though." He then shrugged. "I wanted to ask her for a favor but... well, so much for that I guess." Neil explained his situation.

"But you really shouldn't worry about that. It's uhh, a me thing." Neil assured you with a sad smile. "We've got some quests that need doing. Better pick one soon so you could catch up to those who has already taken them. I'm actually planning to go with Eilidh on her quest. Hope she doesn't mind. See you around, Miss Yang."

Neil then went away and approached the aforementioned Centaur who was talking to what appeared to be a male Hobgoblin.

---

~@Silver Carrot (ELD), @Restalaan (DIT)~

While Eilidh and Ditzy were talking, Neil appeared with some words for the former. "Hey Eilidh, mind if I join you on your quest? Seems like a quest I can survive at least."

"Oh, hey there. I'm Neil." He then addressed Ditzy. "Welcome to The Guild. I'm guessing Bart already gave you the basics, right? We're a guild that does requests to get paid and right now, we're already picking the requests we're doing for today." He explained.

"The board's right over there if you are interested in doing a quest for today." Neil pointed at the request board. "If not and you want to relax for today, you can stay here and sit back. We've got a lounge and everything."

Escort Quest
~@The Irish Tree (NEP)~

You reach Boreal Port in several hours and arrive at midday, the smell of seawater immediately filling your nose. The town itself was quite simple with no buildings that stood out from the rest. Save for a large church that appeared to be visible from any point in Boreal port. It was doubtful that it belonged to the Order as the coastal town was definitely accepting of all kinds of monsters judging from how you have seen some of them peacefully mingled with everyone else.

You also notice that the people appeared to be quite in a rush, as if they were preparing for something. There were also some decorations already put into place. You get the feeling that the town was preparing for some sort of celebration or festival.

Soon, a person approached you wearing a full suit of armor. You could not help but notice that he appeared to have no arms. "Hi Neph! As you can see, I have no arms!" He happily greeted you. "I'm Ian North and I'm the person you need to escort since I'm defenseless because I have no arms. Specifically from here, Boreal Port, to over there, Ambran." He pointed with his helmeted head.

"So then, are you ready or do you need to pick up some supplies here or something?"

---

A God Among Men
~@13org (BST)~

You appear in a large, dark chamber. There were open windows that let the light in but the place remained dark as if the stone of this place utterly refused to shine. You feel a sense of dread creep up on you like a prey about to be ambushed by a predator. Still, nothing happened. Yet.

The silence of the chamber was almost deafening but there were a few things here that could distract you from that sinking feeling. Looking around, you realize that you were in some sort of throne room complete with a rug of fine material leading to a throne unlike any other.

The throne was fashioned entirely out of bones. Of whose or what was a hard question to answer right now but there were definitely human skulls in there. The throne was large in size as well so one could praise the effort of arranging those many bones into a suitable throne.

"Wow. You really appeared." Said a male voice behind you, who had just entered the throne room. He was a young man though older than Neil by about a few years. He had a shaved head, a round face and a figure that was a bit fat. He wore black clothes that seemed darker than the room. "Although, I really shouldn't be surprised. From the way Araghast told me about you, you seem to be a person who likes to stick his head in things he has no business in."

"Like our throne room? It wasn't easy putting this all together. Fun though, especially the throne." The man continued, the sense of danger still in the air.

A Strange Tale 2
~@The Irish Tree (MAG), @13org (FYR)~

"Hey Freyr! I think I'm sitting this day out for now. Don't get yourselves in trouble okay?" Haley told Freyr. "Tell me all about it when you two get back."

"Hey Freyr! Before you two leave, I uhh, I have a confession to make." Neil stopped the two male monsters before they left. "Remember those Dwarves that repaired our building? They set up shop in a cabin beside the river where you two are going. Just saying so you two won't be surprised."

---

Magnus and Freyr made their way to Valoras Woods as indicated by the directions in the quest. Soon, they came upon a wooden cabin though it was not your typical wooden cabin. At least, it was not anymore. The cabin itself was heavily modified with stone and metal structures of Dwarven design attached to it as extensions.

However, there does not appear a single Dwarf present. Rather, there was a human man tending to a small bonfire. "Welcome to Valoras Woods, gentlemen." He greeted the two male monsters. Just like with Magnus' previous encounter, he resembled Neil albeit older and has blonde hair wearing the robes of a typical priest. "You and your guild are famous, you know? You're those people who went to Varjo and made it back in one piece."

"You know, I admire you people. I hope my boy turns out just like you." He remarked further.

@PaulHaynek

Sealenne did a small salute in thanks. "Thanks 'Boss'. I brought some materials with me in case of minor repairs to equipment, so for now I'll be fine." she replied. She picked up her pack and walked back to the forge. It was a decent one in her eyes, the dwarvish engravings adding a sense of familiarity. She walked the tool rack and shelves. It was bare essentials in tools, and the shelves had only a book on the basics of forging. She set her pack down and walked to the armory. It was dusty, and only had a few leather harnesses and caps. "Tisk, tisk...this just won't do." she said cockily whilst putting her chin in her hand. She went back her pack and pulled out a simple but decorative hammer. She smacked it in her hand, then smiled. "Let's see if daddy truly did teach me anything." She closed the door to the forge room and set up her stuff.

@Restalaan@Silver Carrot
When she was done, she remembered the floor in the main room was damaged due to someones clumsiness. She grabbed some tools and went there. She immediately set to work. "Thank you daddy for being the only person in town to fix anything stone,metal or otherwise." as she worked. She saw the guy who broke the floor in the first place. She decided to go give him some start off scolding. She stopped, knowing the mortar for the stone needed to dry anyhow, and walked right up to him. He was talking too a centaur. She was behind him, and even though he somewhat towered over her, she poked his shoulder with mortar covered hand. "Hey clutz, try and be more careful stomping around in a room next time. I don't want to have to repair the floor everyday." she said in a confident and annoyed voice, waiting for him to turn and respond to her.

@PaulHaynek @Silver Carrot

Lilly Falena / Maria Falena

Lily was hovering above the ground following behind Bart, Getting a good tour of the making sure not to bump into anything not wanting to dirty herself. "Well that is good to hear, You have spruced up the place in quite a short time" She said seeing the dormitories wondering whom her bunk mate would be. "And how do you arrange whom will be bunk mates with others or partnered with someone during a quest" She said following him to the dining room.

Noticing the different people in the dining area, Finding them for the most part to be quite unimpressive to her. Someone did caught her eye however, She could see her sister speaking with a human nun. "How pathetic trying to befriend humans, Wanting to be like them. You will always be a outcast" She thought to herself excusing herself for a moment. "Big sis long time no see" She said smiling looking down at her sister like always.

"Lily? How are you?" Maria said excited standing up but quickly sitting back down shyly, "I am doing well, Mother and the others are doing fine, Not like you contact them to find out" Lily said trying to guilt her sister. "And whom is this hominum you are speaking with?" She said using the Lepidoptera word for "Human", Maria had earlier spoken with Bart wanting to do the Let No Men Put Asunder job.

Yang Bethlehem

@PaulHaynek @Silver Carrot ELD

Yang clapped the back of Neil in a more assured manner and softened her smile, perhaps her approach was too direct for him.

"Alright then, but if you have any problem. You can just see me, alright? I'll do my best to help you." Yang pointed a thumb to herself and bid him farewell with a nod.

Alright. She gave herself a light slap on both her cheeks to psyche herself up and look at the quest available, she saw one that drew her attention that concerns a woman, a church or temple of sort, and help. Her mind immediately went for the more super natural things, youkais and spirits are prominent in her land but they usually aren't malicious. Usually.

Well, I always wonder if chanting sutras works against foreign ghost since they probably won't understand it. Yang grinned at that as she cracked her neck and poked at the quest board, her fingers pierced the paper at the side to indicate that she was on it.

With that, Yang moved swiftly for the exit. Her path briefly coinciding with Neil, Eilidh and the new hand crushing rock boy. She smirked at that feat, she can probably rivaled that easily.

But he did it without much strain, so he'll make some good sparring partner at least for strength training.

"Alright, Neil. See you later, you too Eilidh." She tapped his back, bowed to the centaur and waved to the hob-goblin boy, unaware that it was a male monster and thought it was a child with a mask.

She looked towards the gentle blue skies and continued onwards to her quest, stretched her arms and begin her journey to Pravar.

Ditzy Stoneclub.

@Silver Carrot ELD @PaulHaynek

Ditzy saw someone approached from the side and he conversed with the centaur lady for moment before he looked at him. He brightened when he did as Neil explained to him what he could do for the day.

"I can work!" He eagerly said to him, so much things to do but he wanted to stick around the centaur lady for now if possible.

"Can I follow you?" Ditzy asked innocently to her, so far she seems like a nice person and he wants to help her. "I'm strong to lift plenty of things!"

@Dealdric

Ditzy slowly turned away from the centaur after a moment when he felt something familiar touched from behind, he saw the female lizard talking to him.

His mind processed her words, mind wondering what she meant as he tried to piece everything.

Floor? I broke it? He turned to look at the floor as he wondered what happened to it, it seemed fine as he hadn't damaged it. His initial fall hadn't damaged it and all Ditzy did was crush the rocks in his hands, he was sure that it didn't damage the floor since he turned it into dust like what he do for his dad.

Maybe she meant in the future, he was clumsy after all. It was probably bad that if she has to cover the floor, dad often scold him too when he accidentally pushed or let something go from his hand hit the ground.

"O-kay!" Ditzy replied slowly and nodded a few times at her words.

@Restalaan@PaulHaynek

Sealenne was actually surprised by his reaction. She looked at him with slumped shoulders. She had expected more resistance, but apparently not. She went back to her confident stance and got her serious face back on "Thanks'. Oh, and if you need anything repaired come find me. Same goes if you break something." and she went back to checking the minor damages caused by the hobgoblin repairs. They finished, so she went to the request board and put a paper for essential ores for repairs to both weapons and the structure.

Eilidh shook hands with Ditzy, and any fears Ditzy may have had about how careful he had to be were quelled by the firmness of her own handshake. Of course, Centaur were a strong race, and when Eilidh had to actually use her muscles, they suddenly appeared; lean powerful bulges in her previously smooth arms, as if by magic. She grinned and nodded.

"I will gladly call you my ally and companion. Your strength of both body and character will be of great help to me, and to this guild." she replied in her regular formal, chivalrous language, which was a contrast to his childish talk. Neil approached the two and asked if he should join them, to which Eilidh replied in the affirmative, with a smile and a bow. Eilidh still had a lot to learn about bowing in front of young, impressionable men whilst wearing her rather liberal tribal armor, namely that it wasn't a good idea. She should at least wear something under the armor to stop the jiggling. One day, Bart was going to need to have a chat with her.

With Ditzy also deciding to join her, the three were something resembling a merry party of adventurers! Rather appropriate for the Quest that she had picked. "Since we have chosen our Quest, and our party, let us make tracks as soon as we have made preparations!"

---

With preparations made, and provisions packed and carried by Eilidh via saddlebags, the three set off towards Ambran. It didn't take long before Eilidh was gripped by adventuring fever and smilied at the scenery like a giddy child, and occasionally singing folk songs in the Centaur language. She had a rather nice voice!

For all of Maria's sins, Rebecca had to admit that, actually talking to her, she had no fault of personality. In fact, Rebecca found her to be quite agreeable. Her tone and demeanor were now less judgmental and far more friendly and welcoming. Plus, it was very quaint to see her getting excited about sewing. Maybe there was hope to make a Lady out of her after all.

"I do enjoy sewing," Rebecca answered cheerfully. "It's not just a very respectable hobby for a Lady, but I find it most relaxing, as well as rewarding. It is the joy of creation, but it never seems to feel like work."

Their pleasant conversation was interrupted when Bart and Lily entered the room. Lily called Maria sister, and looking at the younger mothgirl, Rebecca could see the resemblance. She did sense some familial friction between them, as well as resentment directed at the 'hominum'. Rather than get involved get between their reunion, Rebecca instead turned to Bart. "Bart, I wish to take the quest in Southern Pravar, despite the risks. I simply need to know whether or not it's talking about my old Church. I shall need a disguise, however."

Lily would have heard Rebecca talk about her 'old Church' in Pravar. Was she an Order Priestess? Here?

@PaulHaynek@Eviledd1984

Ars Argento

Ars wasn't sure how to feel while being thanked by the Dark Priestess. It was the first time (excluding the previous day's weird request) that he got thanked for work he himself had done. It wasn't the kind of work he expected, but, that probably did count as his first adventure. "No, I must thank you, for hiring us, miss Riñas." Looking at the small coin purse and the flier, he was feeling some sort of pride. "Yes, I shall make sure everyone sees this." There wasn't anymore he wished to discuss with the Dark Priestess, so he watched her return to her church before going on his way.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Once more, Ars awoke late the next morning. This time, he felt he shouldn't be worried about it too much, that patrol went late into the night, and then taking the road back in the dark, maybe wasn't his brighest idea. He maybe should have lodged in Boreal Port instead, but it was too late to worry about that then. Maybe he should take the day off, he wondered getting out of bed and getting dressed. Rummaging through his things, he found... Yesterday's coin purse... And Miss Riñas' flier. "Oh, no." The boy had completely forgotten about it. Now, how would one go about making this event known to his guildmates? Ars headed to the main hall.

Most people seemed to already have set off. Ars wouldn't be able to make an announcement. Rather, was that even appropriate. He ddin't know if he would have the courage to. He fidgeted in place for a minute, wondering what to do as he looked at the rapidly emptying hall, he didn't want to break his promise to the Dark Priestess. The boy then slapped himself in the head, realizing that there was a better idea that wouldn't require him catching attention anyway. The billboard. Ars went to look for Bart. "Mister Barker!" Ars had the flier in hand and a childish relieved smile. "Is it a problem if I pin this on the billboard? It is, from yesterday's client... Huh, Miss Riñas invited us all over. I promised to let everyone know..."

@PaulHaynek

Bast Ragoczy

The stone chamber where Bast encountered himself was almost like if it was made of darkness. Even though there were windows were some light could enter the room, it remained dark, almost like if light itself was avoiding that room. Uneasiness. Even though Bast was a powerful magician, he was still had a strange feeling, almost like there was something waiting for him, watching him.

"Hm.... intriguing..." He thought to himself as he carefully analyzed his surroundings. That didn't seem to be the type of thing Araghast would do... Did he give the card to someone else? Disappointing, but he could have his fun nonetheless...

Looking around more carefully, Bast realized that the room was in fact a throne room. Despite the darkness and the weird feeling, he could still see the rug of a very fine and expensive material leading him to a large throne made of the most varied types of bones, including human ones. But before Bast could do anything more, a voice came from behind him, interrupting him.

"Wow. You really appeared." The figure said as Bast carefully turned around, analyzing the man with an amused smirk. That most certainly wasn't Araghast... Shaved head, a round face and a body type a bit too fat for a warrior's, he wore clothes of a strange tone of black. The weird sensation was still in the air, but Bast's curiosity was simply too much for him to walk away, furthermore, he was interested about what was happening. A bit disappointed that he wasn't Araghast... But maybe it could turn out to be even better than if he had met Araghast...?

"Although, I really shouldn't be surprised. From the way Araghast told me about you, you seem to be a person who likes to stick his head in things he has no business in." The man continued, before started talking about the throne room.

"You seem to be quite different from Araghast... You seem to be more interesting..." Bast said, carefully analyzing the man's reactions to his words.

"Araghast himself is an interesting person. But he is too short sighted. Sure, he is most certainly better than the brutish pawns of meat and muscle that he commands, but he still fails to realize how much more powerful subtle things can be than pure strength." he said, as the man mentioned Araghast.

"It wouldn't be that fun if I simply stood quiet, tending to my business now, would it?" He said, with a smirk on his face.
"Besides that... Now I do have something to do with all this situation. After all, it was you who called me here." He said, with a provoking smirk.

"It would be rude for me to ask for your name before properly introducing myself. I'm Bast Ragoczy. I suppose Araghast told you a little bit about myself." Bast said, with a formal bow.

"But I suppose you didn't call me here just to chat, did you? Even though you seem to be a bit more... entertaining than Araghast." Bast said, tapping his fingers on the top of his cane.
"I hope you have something interesting for me." He concluded, waiting for the man's answer.

"Regarding the throne room, I can't say it's exactly my style, but I can appreciate the amount of work that it was needed to make it. The throne is quite something... It's just a wild guess, but I need to ask... Is this King Joshua's throne? I've been hearing some interesting things about him. He seems to be quite an interesting fellow to talk with..." Bast said, raising one of his eyebrows as he mentioned the name Joshua. He had never seen Joshua before, so the man in front of him could even be Joshua himself but instead of asking straight away, he choose to take a more... subtle and delicate route.

Freyr

"Sure, Magnus. You're welcome to come with me." Freyr said, looking to the big minotaur. He was a pleasant company to have.

"You seem to already know the man that sent us this request... That will certainly be useful." Freyr completed, nodding towards Magnus, thanking for him having offered himself to go with him to the forest. He always felt as ease while in a forest. Even though he left his home forest, he was still a Viera. He still had a deep, physical and magical connection to the forest.

As he heard Haley saying that she wouldn't go with him that time, even though he tried to hide his reaction, he was unable to completely hide that he was in fact a bit relieved by that. If she came with them, he most certainly wouldn't be able to calm himself down and forget all that situation, those strange feelings inside him.

"I-I see. We won't. I'll ask Magnus to tell you about what happened when we get back." Freyr said with an unusually formal greeting as he walked away with Magnus, before Neil called them to say a thing before sending them on their quest.

Apparently, the same dwarves who did that wonderful job restoring the guild opened a shop in a cabin near the river, which happened to be the same direction that they were going. Maybe they would even meet them on their way there, which strangely enough, didn't happened as they arrived there.

It was easy to localize the Dwarves' cabin. It was heavily modified with stone and metal structures. It was certainly quite something.
But ironically enough, they saw no dwarves there, instead, they saw a human man tending to a bonfire. Just like Neil said before, he really resembled him, albeit a bit older and wearing priest robes.

"You know, I admire you people. I hope my boy turns out just like you." the man said, after expressing his admiration for the guild and telling them that they were quite famous.

"Varjo... For myself, I prefer much more to be in a forest, in contact with the nature. I am a Viera, after all..." Freyr said, greeting the man.

"You are the one who posted that request on the guild, right?" Freyr asked, turning to Magnus as if he was asking if he was really the one who contacted them.

@PaulHaynek@The Irish Tree

@PaulHaynek,[@13org(FYR)

"Thanks for letting us know, Neil!" Magnus said, feeling glad that he might have a chance to thank all the dwarves in person. Thinking of something else to say before finally turning to leave proper, Magnus said: "H-Hey, Neil...Do you...have anything you want me to ask this guy who looks like you? I just...I-I dunno. He reminded me of you."

Once Neil had said what he wanted, Magnus would leave, wondering why Freyr wanted him to tell Haley about what happened instead of himself...was he allergic to feathers?

---

Presently, Magnus was following Freyr through the path to Valoras Woods, nearly tripping over himself in search of the flowers Kyle needed. So much so that he noticed the cabin later than Freyr had, looking up at it. "Wow! I-It really does look like how they built our guild hall up." he commented, nearly jumping as he heard the mystery man before seeing him. Reconfirming what he had at once thought was pure coincidence, he was absolutely sure that this man had some sort of relationship with Neil. Were they brothers? Cousins? Some other form of family? He had no idea, though...right now he needed to instead act as a professional adventurer.

"N-Nice to meet you again Sir! Erm...W-We did go to Varjo, but that was...w-well, complicated." he tried to explain, stumbling over his explanation and rubbing the back of his neck with his palm. When he saw that Freyr turned to him for confirmation, Magnus nodded emphatically. "For sure. I'd never forget someone that looks just like Niel." he said with confidence, ears flicking up as he recalled that the mystery man mentioned "his boy". Could...Could Neil be his son!? Swallowing that thought for now, Magnus put his fist to his chest and stood up so straight that it was awkward to look at. "W-What do you need us to do sir?" he questioned, exhaling a small puff of steam out of his nose.

Stretching her leathery arm-bound wings, Nephele smiled to herself as she felt the gentle ocean breeze wash over her, an unfamiliar wind and the slight sting of salt carried on it brushing against her skin and hair. Of course, despite the newness of the sight before her, she had to restrain herself. Adjusting her hair with a single claw, as if it were a comb, she flicked her motley feathery-do back into place. It seemed that some sort of preparation was going on...perhaps some sort of holiday was approaching, or going on today.

Hear ears perked up as the metallic clank of armored footsteps, and turning her head around she spied the man approaching her. She was about to say something before he blurted out a shortened version of her name, and immediately stated the obvious. The...lack of arms was somewhat strange, she had to admit, but figuring that he was mentioned in the commentary placed by Neil on the quest by name, she supposed he must be some sort of high profile repeat client. Or...something. Regardless, she had to make an excellent first impression and as such placed a hand over her chest and offered him a small smile, saying: "It is nice to meet you, Ian. I am Nephele Francine Megalos, and I will guard you with my life. Give me a few minutes, I need to purchase rations and other necessities," with every ounce of professionalism in her blood. Hurriedly heading to the market stalls, Nephele had to keep herself under control to keep from peering into all the stalls, to see what goods were available in such a trade hub.

Returning with enough rations for two days for the both of them, as well as a burlap sack slung over her back carrying a tinderbox within. Just in case. Regardless, she was very much prepared to escort her client, feeling that to question why he needed an escort would lead to a story he didn't want to tell. It wasn't pleasant to imagine a warrior losing his arms...though his cheery disposition made her think perhaps he was just an unfortunate, cautious fool. However, she would guard him with her life, standing at his side and saying: "We may leave when you are ready."

"Regarding the throne room, I can't say it's exactly my style, but I can appreciate the amount of work that it was needed to make it. The throne is quite something... It's just a wild guess, but I need to ask... Is this King Joshua's throne? I've been hearing some interesting things about him. He seems to be quite an interesting fellow to talk with..."

"Wow. You REALLY do talk a lot." The man said. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were just a two-bit magician who talks big but can't back it up."

"Anyway, that's not my throne. That's my sister's. She loves being grandiose after all." He finally answered your question as well as indirectly revealing his identity. "The Caldeyron line never really cared for thrones until Leyanne came along. Although, I did take an interest in crafting these chairs. Really challenges the mind." He added.

"Regarding something interesting, hmmm..." Joshua thought for a moment before coming up with an idea. "Aha, I know! I can kill you and have your corpse displayed somewhere in Varjo. Or I could add them to one of my projects. Or I could feed it to our wardogs. Or I could feed it to our North-born warriors. I bet your flesh will be just right for their tastes." He asked you as if you he was just inviting you to a harmless activity. "How is that for interesting? You really need to be more specific if we want to get anywhere."

The dread is still in the air.

Escort Quest
~@The Irish Tree (NEP)~

"We may leave when you are ready."

"No time like the present." Said the armless Ian North.

The two of you began the long walk to Ambran. The trip was uneventful and quiet so far with only passing horses and wagons making noise. Soon, Ian broke the silence. "Say, you're a... Dragon, right?" Your client asked. "Usually, Dragons have all four limbs plus a nice pair of wings. Meanwhile, Wyverns have only two since their wings are their forelimbs. Kind of like you. So I'm all confused." Ian explained.

"Uhh, don't take this wrong okay? I am totally fine with you being a Wyvern and not a Dragon. I'm totally not judging you in any way, shape or form. I fully understand that I need an escort and that it should not matter who is escorting me." Your client droned on. "Also, I will not judge a person by color. Or by his or her gender. Or by his..."

A Strange Tale 2
~@The Irish Tree (MAG), @13org (FYR)~

"You are the one who posted that request on the guild, right?"

"Sort of." The man replied. "In a way."

"For sure. I'd never forget someone that looks just like Niel."

"Really now? Is Neil such a special person that you'd remember him in an instant?" The man inquired.

"W-What do you need us to do sir?"

The Neil-lookalike sighed as he stood up from the bonfire and began slowly walking around Freyr and Magnus. "I hear an old nun's making her way from Ambran to a certain Varjan village. She plans on doing missionary work there as well as some preaching for those who need it." The man explained. "As people who are well-acquainted with those lands, I'm sure you know the dangers inherent in that place."

"Why don't you two go meet her in Ambran and... help her out with a few gold coins? She could maybe hire herself a bodyguard with that." The man told you. "Or you can... rob her yourselves. She's got some stuff worth some gold. May as well go to you rather than to some Varjan barbarian, right?"

He then tossed a small pouch of gold at Magnus before returning to the bonfire.

The Great Horizons
~@Silver Carrot (REB), @Restalaan (DIT)~

The trip to Ambran was peaceful and uneventful. "You know we're just telling a guy some directions, right?" He remarked to the excited and enthusiastic Eilidh.

Neil then sighed. "Anyway, it's uhh... nice to finally talk to you properly, Eilidh." He began. "I've never... This is my first time meeting a Centaur, you know? I mean, sure I've read about your kind but to... actually meet one. I never expected it. Well, a lot of things have happened to me recently that I never expected." He confessed. "Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you Eilidh. Do you mind telling me more about your kind? If you don't mind me asking..."

He then turned to Ditzy. "And who might you be? Are you a... uhh, what's that word again? Hob... Hob... Hobbit! Yeah! Are you some sort of Hobbit?" He asked. It seems Neil does not have much knowledge regarding monsters.

Let No Man Put Asunder
~@Silver Carrot (REB), @Restalaan (YNG), @Eviledd1984 (MAR & LIL)~

The three women began their trip to Pravar with Maria's sister, Lily, tagging along. The road was peaceful and quiet but it appeared that they have not met with the Centaur's group even if they were heading the same direction.

It was midday when they arrived in an area with Pravar's walls in the horizon. With Maria and Lily being monsters, it was inadvisable for the group to approach the Order city. Fortunately, their objective indicated the southern outskirts of Pravar in an abandoned church which would be outside the city's walls so there might not be any Pravarian authorities there.

Heading to the southern area, the group then ran into the desolate ruins of a church. It was not the place which once housed Rebecca's faith as it was very much ruined and seemed abandoned for a very long time. The roof was completely gone and only some sections of the wall were standing. There were still wooden floorboards but they appeared they would give way if stepped on.

There the group found an old woman wearing a white dress that appeared to be ceremonial. "Oh! Oh, let me look at you!" She approached Yang and caressed her face. "You remind me of myself back when Peter and I had just met." She remarked. "Have you seen him?" She then asked, probably referring to this Peter person.

"Where is that man? We'll be late for the ceremony!" The woman began panicking. "He must be still in that... Armadillo bar in Ambran. Talking to the musicians. He's such a fine man. Must be making things right for me. As usual." She explained her problem, calming down a bit as she reminisced.

"I-I beg you! Would you possibly go fetch him for me?" The old woman requested. Agitated again. "This was meant to be my perfect day! Please madams! Something must've happened! I can't bear it!" She then began sobbing.

~@Kyun~

"Is it a problem if I pin this on the billboard? It is, from yesterday's client... Huh, Miss Riñas invited us all over. I promised to let everyone know..."

"Oh no problem! But I'm afraid everyone has left for today's requests." Bart replied. "Let me see there... Ah, the event's going to be in a few days from now. Well that's a relief." He said as he read the flier. "Looks like it's going to be big. I feel like we need to be all be here." He further remarked.

"We can talk about this with the others later though. What about you, Ars? What are you doing for today?" The guild master asked. "You can catch up with the others in their quests if you want to do some questing. Or you can just sit back and relax for now."

Then both of you hear the entrance doors open and what appeared to be a Harpy-like creature entered. "I gotta handle this. Bye for now, Ars."

---

~@Dealdric~

After posting your request for materials, you went back to the forge behind the guild building. However, you find that it was occupied by a Cyclops who was already checking the furnace.

Noticing your presence, she turned around to face you. "Oh, hello the--" She froze after seeing you, her one eye widened to stare at you for a few moments. "Wh-Who are you? Are you- Are you some sort of Lizardman?" She then asked. It was becoming clear that this is the first this Cyclops have seen your kind.

---

~@ShwiggityShwah~

You finally arrive at the supposed location of the guild's headquarters. Since that place only had a very notable two-story building of seemingly Dwarven design and material, it was safe to assume that that was the guild headquarters.

After entering through its wooden double doors, you were greeted by a large hall and an orange-haired man. "Well hello there! Welcome to The Guild! And yes, that's the actual name. It's a little confusing but I hope it's all right." He welcomed you. "Are you here to post a request? If so, then there is no need to actually enter the guild or anything. Just write your request on a piece of paper and post it on the request board outside."

"Unless it's something that you can't write because of special circumstances in which case, you can just tell it to any of us here." He continued to explain.

@Eviledd1984@Silver Carrot RBC

Yang Bethlehem

"Oh, the three of you are joining me?" Yang raised her hand in greetings when she was joined with the rest of her guildmates, she hadn't expected company but it was good. One of them was also the new recruits, and it was only side by side did the similarities really came to fore.

"Hey there! Welcome to our guild, looks like this will be our first job together!" She addressed to Lily and then Maria warmly and politely with a bow. Her attention then turned to Rebecca, whom she had already fought beside. "Looks like we'll be together again, let's do our best."

With that, she accompanied them to their journey. Yang hadn't known much about the higher tension regarding monster girl but their objective was at the outskirts of Pravar, her head did looked at the city. A twinge of amazement and curiosity filled her but she pushed it aside for now.

Once they did reached the quarry, she looked at ruins of it and what's left of the church. It looked so sad and depressing, she wondered how it looked like if it hadn't gone down.

Her eyes picked up something and she saw an old woman in a white dress, that set her off as that color was worn only during funerals.

Wait, it might be different. Yang thought for a moment and decided to keep an open mind for now, her suspicion hadn't left but she approached this carefully.

One that went out of the window as the old woman caressed her face, and she resisted the urge to step back as she came face to face with her.

That slowly changed when she heard what the old woman asked of them, her heart softened at how desperate and sad the woman felt.

Ghost or not, I can't leave someone like that. Yang closed her eyes briefly and made up her mind. It might end in tragedy, or sadness but she care not.

"Alright, I'll find him for you." Yang said with a small smile as she held the old woman hands gently like a newborn before she pull the old woman into a hug to reassured her. "Don't worry about it."

Yang turned to the rest of her companions, they may or may not agree but she'll do it by herself if it comes down to it. "Anyone feel like joining in? Or do you want to accompany her while we search for this peter guy?

@Silver Carrot ELD @PaulHaynek Neil


Ditzy Stoneclub

Ditzy liked the entire journey, specially when Eilidh begun singing. Her voice sounded great and while he couldn't follow the lyrics, he hummed it alongside though lagging behind slightly at it.

When he was asked by Neil whether he was a hobbit, he contemplate on the question, tilted his head and frowned as he tried to understand the question. It didn't make a lot of sense to him.

"Ditzy isn't a hob-bit, Ditzy is a hob-goblin." Ditzy said after awhile to Neil, his fingers pointed to the mismatched horns on the top of him. "See, one horn is bigger than the other! And bigger than goblins too."

"Mama had the biggest horns too, there are other who's the same like mama but she's the biggest." He explained to Neil before curiosity came to him. "What is a hob-bit? Are they like hob-goblins? Are they strong as Ditzy?"

"And are you like papa? Which village you come from?" Ditzy asked Neil in a childlike tone, he always wanted to hear about other villages. "Eilidh, what about yours? Are they all pretty and strong like you?"

@Silver Carrot@Restalaan@PaulHaynek

Maria Falena / Lily Falena

Maria was walking along with the two humans wanting to return the greeting form the human named Yang, "It is a pleasure...to work with you, I usually work with...Miss Nephele.." She said referring to her dragoness comrade. She was worried about her and hoped she was doing okay. "But it is glad to have...others to work with..and hopefully become friends" She added looking down at her feet as they walked.

Lily scoffed at what her older sister was saying finding it quite hard for her to make friends, Even if she had friends they were probably faking their emotions behind her back. Or they only care wanting to do lewd things to her body, "Mm just don't go and die on me pink skin" Lily said towards Yang's greeting. When Lily saw the old woman blathering on about a past lover named "Peter", She rolled her eyes thinking the old woman was losing her mind and should not be concern.

Maria meanwhile was scolding her sister for her comment at Yang and Rebecca, Turning to face the older woman kneeling in front of her. "Umm..we can help you find your Peter...do you know what happened to..this church?" She asked wondering if they could get some sort of information form her. "She is senile dear sister you are wasting your time, we should explore this stercore foraminis" She said but Maria was scolding her once again. She wanted to help this woman as best she could, And Lily being unhelpful will not help them in their quest.
