Arthur's task proved to be exactly what he expected. Nearly impossible. Several times while climbing the cliff face he faced the thought of giving up. For a dream this adventure was definitely challenging. Maybe that is because he wants it to be challenge. The task at hand utterly and completely required his focus. The slightest distraction could result in a dreadful fall.

"D'you want a little help?"

Arthur's grip tightened as he heard a voice behind him. He slowly and shakily glanced over his shoulder to see a flying fox clinging to the rock nearby. He winced as she shuffled closer. Was this going to be the end?

"You fall from here you'll wreck your head, I imagine. Unless that's the point, in which case you've got a good effort."

He did not want to think about falling at all at this point. His already pounding heart threatened to rip itself out of his chest. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths to calm himself.

"You could climb on my back, if you wanted. Unless you think you can make it yourself to the top. I'll watch you try, it'd be jolly fun."

The suggestion was very tempting. He reopened his eyes and looked up. He could not find a nearby handhold he could make use of. The fact Arthur had made it all the way up here could only be explained as a miracle. He looked at the huge fox again and swallowed dryly before nodding. He shuffled over so he could grab onto the fox's fur and climb onto her back.

"Th-Thanks."

Vander felt no need to say anything as they all marched into town. He kept an eye on every single one of the residents of the town as they stared at them. As far as he was concerned if any of them made a bad move there would be hell to pay. He could see nothing of note as they made their way to the adventurer's guild. Everything was as Rath had told them.

They entered the guild building untouched. He imagined it was because they were such a strange crew of elves. They residents of Whiteside probably did not know what to do with them either. At least no one got it in their heads to attack the party. The building itself was definitely not very comfortable, however anything was better than that cold outside. Vander was used to all types of environments, but arctic and tundra were definitely his least favorite.

He recognized one of the people in the hall as the butler of one of the players of YGGDRASIL. He could not recall the name as he never gave NPCs too much attention. The player though, he was certain was Senna.

"Correct me if I am wrong," Vander scanned the butler with a certain gaze. "Could you be Senna's butler? What are you doing out here?"

This whole transitioning into other worlds thing was seriously jarring.

So, I'm back early. I had to return home for an emergency, so I will be able to start working on something tomorrow.

I am going to be volunteering until the 1st and I likely will not be able to write anything up until then.

I'm alright with Vander fading into the background for a bit.

Hey guys, I hate to be last minute with all of this, but I have a wedding I'm going to this weekend that I am getting ready for today (I'm one of the groomsmen) and after that wedding I am volunteering at the Big E and will be unavailable until October 1st. I really appreciate your patience guys.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

I've been wicked busy with work otherwise I would have put something up by now. I've only really had the time to just read new stuff lately. I should have something to keep things moving in a couple days. Thanks for your patience guys.

I was aiming for a bit more group interaction outside of reacting to what the GM places for us. Vander is cool with any decision he just wants to learn everything about this world. He can do that anywhere. :)

"We'll find a comfortable bed in the future," Vander felt glad Cain had found some amusement in the fear he put into the horse's heart. "At the very least we have a start."

He suddenly realized that the currency from YGGDRASIL might not convert over to this world, and he came to a halt as he had already started marching for the village. "What are we going to use for money?" He had the pelts he acquired from his hunting as they traveled here and could trade them, however, he had no idea if the money he had would work. "We don't know if YGGDRASIL money will have any value here, and it may make us stick out unnecessarily."

Vander had no problem with being exceptional and sticking out in a manner that made him larger than life, but he did not like the thought of being viewed as entirely strange. He understood that there would be some confusion to start with all the new interactions with the denizens of this world, and yet he had no desire to draw too much attention due to the confusion. This first interaction while mild only emphasized the need to act carefully.

"We've learned a lot from Rath to be honest," Vander wanted to make it clear. "First off, not just anyone can travel this arctic tundra. He clearly did not believe me when I told him I was the reason we navigated so well without a map. We know the people here are on edge and paranoid about faeries. My title the Watcher meant nothing, so it's likely they only apply to nobility and high level adventurers.
Not to mention that there is no Watcher in this world." His tone changed clearly indicating that fact did not settle well with him. "Elves are also not exactly trusted here considering his statement after we rescued him. I understand all of you were distracted by each situation you were in, however, we have a wealth of information even if only a few of our questions were answered. I guess my question to us all is what do we do from here? I'm prepared to continue into Whiteside, or we could follow this path to Giant Downs."
