Rose accepted the trade, watching the two black pieces disappear into her inventory. 'Black Spike' set was nothing to laugh at, though it was out leveled around 40, but the red-haired warrior still had her doubts. This time, however, she chose not to press the matter and simply nodded at Garnet's judgement.
Turning away from the group of followers, a tiny icon suddenly appeared in the center of Rose's vision. "Incoming call... James." An armored finger quickly swiped accept and the voice of her previous party member echoed from the air before her.

“Rose, I would assume you have some idea of what Global chat is exploding over? There are rumours flying about that both big guilds are mobilizing. Apparently they intend to go at it again over the Isle Of Departure. Well the bridge, considering they haven’t even got that close yet. Care to shed some light on what in the seven hells is going on? I’m getting Hourly requests from small parties on both sides. And you know how much that bugs me.”
The knight chuckled at the man who had not changed since the earliest days of the game. "How'd you know I's be involved? LG has assembled a couple hundred at Alkharn to take on the first departure boss." She spoke while she walked, making her way back towards the other two tanks while her bright green eyes scanned the gathered masses. "They're not the most organized lot... But you know how Garnet is: mind only on victory. Wait, you're saying that New Terror is headed
here? There's no way they could catch up with us unless they were waiting ahead of time..." Rose suddenly realized that something wasn't right, looking back to the LG tent, but she knew Garnet would never listen to such worries regarding his greatest rival. "Hmmm... Why would they move now...?" She spoke to herself as the sounds of battle disrupted the call. "What- Are you in
combat?"

"Sorry Dealing with some Toads out here, Taking some of the guild members fun-running."
Rose sighed and shook her head, James knew how much she hated people getting distracted during a fight, no matter how easy. "Well if you're right, and the two groups really will meet... That bridge'll be a warzone. We're heading out any minute..." As if on cue, the call to move went up and everyone started walking towards the exit to town. "I don't like what's happening, but i can't back out now... Especially with the lives of so many innocent players on the line. Listen, I've got to go but let me know if the Tea Party comes around. I've got a bad feeling..." With a final 'Goodbye' she ended the call and silently wondered if that man would come. She knew how much he hated the two groups, LG and NT, but she didn't think he'd stay away when such a battle was brewing.
When the Wyvern fell from the tree, it landed only a few dozen meters from Rose who stood in the front line. She'd been wary the entire walk, knowing well the dangers of this particular area, and so wasted no time in bringing her shield to bear as the creature's tail lashed out. Garnet soaked the blow, giving Rose the chance to advance with a shout. Raising her shield while dashing activated [Line Breaker] and she felt her body shoot forward towards the foe. She collided against the side of its massive foot, causing a great shudder to go through the beast though it resisted her stun, and made one great slash against its scaly hide. She barely saw a tick come off its health bar but her attacks weren't meant to damage as the monster whipped its head around and bore down on her.
