Don't forget, 2 posts per week minimum. Since its almost the end of the week now, I'll just chump this week and say minimum 3 posts by the end of next week. Week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday for the purpose of this. But I'd just personally suggest, post as many times as you need/want until dungeon run.
If the items are not listed on the items list, it means they are unique items that cannot be bought from or sold to NPCs. However, as more Floors are accessed, they may be featured in NPC shops.
You'll all linger in town until the morning of Day 5 (irl 26th of November) upon which you will visit the dungeon "The Hill's Sorrow" again. Timeskips from day to day will occur accordingly: Day 2 -> Day 3 (irl 20th) Day 3 -> Day 4 (irl 23th) Day 4 -> Day 5 (irl 26th) During that time, as usual mingle, visit NPCs, do small quests, whatever you wish to do. Just keep up with the timeskips accordingly. For in-day time skips (from noon to night for instance) Players may initiate them without GM's approval.
Regarding exp, remember to empty out your pool of exp as to not cause any confusion. So since it took you 100 exp to reach level 2, if you gained 110 exp since level 1, your current exp should be 10. Just to clarify any confusion, it takes 100 to reach level 2, 150 to reach level 3, 225 to reach level 4, etc. So if you are at level 2, with 10 exp and were to receive 800 exp, you would be at Level 5 with 97 exp.
Your first dungeon experience was... however you make it out to be. Good news is no one died, bad news is you didn't beat the dungeon. But testing the waters, getting to know the game's systems, knowing how to be prepared for the next time, etc were all invaluable information to be had. Considering how you didn't see any Players near the dungeon nor much players at all when marching down to the place, you probably figured you and your party are some of the very first people to try out this particular dungeon. Of course, the Newsletter did state that another dungeon had been completely beaten somehow but it could just be possible that your party just happened to pick a dungeon that is significantly more difficult than the other one. Plus... rewards from the dungeon run were due. As soon as you exit the dungeon, a message screen pops up.
Your tactical leadership was impressive... but you'll need more than that. Leadership is everything and nothing. Keep an eye on your new friends and know who you can trust. Here are some gifts from me. - Admin

✧DAY 3 - Midnight - Genesis City✧
The march was long and arduous. But there was no danger or problems on the way, just tiring and boring. At least the views of the night sky were grand; the crisp sharp stars shining like little gems lit up against a mysterious, black background. You doubt you'd ever see such a sky in real life. The stars you see in Talrae seem more real and close than any celestial bodies you may have experienced previously.
You make it back to Genesis City just fine and decide to lodge up in the same inn your party all previously met. Not that there weren't any competing business in the district, it just was convenient to be in a place you have been in before. Plus it wasn't like your stay last time was unsatisfactory by any means. You walk into the inn to see some familiar faces of NPCs. Although it's only been a day or so, the way you feel now makes it seem like it's been at least a week or so.
"Hey, if it ain't the mighty adventurers!" The innkeeper from behind the desk hollered out without getting up from his seat. "Back so soon to throw me some shiny pennies eh? Not that it was terribly missed, got lots o' of your kind in here now." True to his words, the inn seemed a little more full than the last time you stayed. Considering how its late night, about a quarter of the tables being filled with diners made it seem like business was doing fine. "Well, good to see ya all, Inn-Master Hans likes customers. Find yourselves a seat, I'll send one of them lasses over after finding yall some rooms." The plump man stood up and hollered out some orders while scratching his mustache.

The wolves, while obviously smaller and weaker than their more powerful brethren, were fast and agile. Before the players could react, some leaped into the air with blinding speed, aiming for any and all players in their paths. 2 of the wolves were immediately taken out in mid-air after being subjected to arrows and magical bolts. The 3rd wolf didn't leap but attempted to bolt past the Paladin guarding is teammates. However, before it could make it, a well-aimed sword strike dropped its HP down to 0. The remaining 3 wolves were dispatched with roughly equal haste but not before they were able to retaliate. After beingslashed by a dense mass of wind launched by the Mage, all three leaped into the air. 2 of them managed to close the gap between themselves and the offending Mage, while the 3rd somehow crashed into the Swordsman nearby. All three growled menacingly before swiping out with their sharp claws. However, before the second set of attacks could follow through, the thundering stomp of the giant rabbit crashing down onto the ground knocked them all off of their feet. A few slashes of blades was all that was needed afterwards to finish the furred beasts off.

Old man Maroon was irritable as usual. No matter, Trey was done at this point, the old man was doing his business and Trey had the money to pay the master of the forge. Plus he was talking to Ginto now; a far more pleasant task than exchanging verbal disagreements with Maroon. Dressed smartly in the two-piece suit as always, Ginto looked well. Well... enough for a Huntsman at least. Trey had to admit, the decision to replace all her clothes overnight with her current style was a fairly brilliant idea.
“I’d tell you off, but those were good bikinis. If only you wore one, too…” Trey weakly laughed at her note. She always was terrible at making comebacks or telling jokes. He supposed some things never changed. “It really is good to see you again, Trey. It’s been far too long since I saw a familiar face. What are you doing here, anyway? A job or a particular favouritism to this shop?” Ginto looked awkward. Trey swore she was almost fidgeting in that suit of hers. Clearly she wasn't sure what she was supposed to do with her arms. He sighed a little and put on a pair of gloves he pulled out from his pockets. They'd serve to keep his exposed prosthetic fingers covered in the presence of others.
"Been done with my last job. Didn't have too much to do afterwards so I figured I'd visit the town to get a general diagnostics. Had a few ideas for some upgrades, had to take apart my right arm... again, Coil Gun as usual was half ruined, you know... the usual." Trey finished sliding his hands into the gloves. And before Ginto could object, he stepped in to hug his friend. "Good to see you too."
