"Has anyone else noticed the lack of NPCs, or is it just me?" John said to the party.
"Before you guys become stuck here, I've seen a few. But since you guys got stuck, since a major destruction happened here, I haven't seen any. I hope you guys understand what I mean," Nautilus tried to answer. The first time he got inside the Guild, a few armed men detained him for entering a restricted area. That was his first and last time seeing an NPC. But how frequent an NPC should be? he thought. He tried to remember his previous roleplays, and indeed, although he had seen NPCs before, their numbers were far too few. "But indeed, the number of NPCs are far too few. However, when plot-important people are around, and it seems we all are plot-important, NPCs are hardly given attention. Just like the stars in the skies. They shine in both they and night, but are never seen during the day because the sun is way, way brighter than them," he tried to give his theory.
It took a while for Nautilus to realize that the team was too busy acquainting with the girl he was not taking a look at. "Wait, shouldn't we go towards the main entrance?" he asked the team.
