Kaithe DameMust Saviors Die?

The sudden attack threw the Varjans into disarray, allowing the rescuers to accomplish their deeds. "Ahh, I recognize you." The man named Emilio said as he looked upon Magnus. "You are Magnus correct? You have saved me twice now so I now owe you two lives. That is one more than I have, my friend." Despite the situation, Emilio appeared calm and cheerful as soon as he recognized Magnus.
However, despite Yang's best efforts to quickly leave the scene, the Varjan Warriors have regrouped and have begun to advance upon the small party. "They are trying to free the traitor! Get them!" One of the Warriors ordered. Unlike the others, this particular Varjan was larger and appeared to be in charge. It was likely that he was a Varjan Champion. Such warriors usually travelled in small teams so it was fortunate that this one appeared to be alone.
Still, they were not Varjan Champions for nothing so they should not be underestimated. The Varjan Champion charged along with his Warriors at the escaping party. There were about three Varjan Warriors each for Magnus, Rebecca and Yang. The Champion himself appeared to be going after Emilio himself so that his true mission would be complete no matter how this battle went.
The trio were now in battle. They need to be quick and smart about their actions in order to achieve a favorable outcome.

"I'm... afraid your assessment of this town is incorrect, dear sir." Gina replied as she led Bast and Eilidh. "I'm not sure if your friend Arletta mentioned this but Valerie is... not really alright." The Gandharva began to explain. "The constant attacks of bandits on this shrine-town have taken a toll on her and made her lose control more than once where she would murder in cold blood. Something not exactly accepted in the domain of Lady Eros." Gina continued. "You see, Varjo is a terrible place to live. The people there live as if each day is their last. Every day is a fight, both metaphorically and literally. So it's not surprising that some decide to flee once the opportunity rises. They're not allowed to but some do manage to escape the clutches of that dark land."
"So that leads to the present." Gina paused for a moment to sigh. "North of here is a fortress known as Ravager's Rest, once known as Railuc's Rest. That's where Varjan refugees hole up upon escaping Varjo. They can't go to Pravar, they're part of the Order and thus, an ally of Varjo. They can't go to Lymeria or Mahigan since those are 'monster' lands. And... they can't go here. We're technically still Order in their eyes and thus we can't be trusted. So they make that fortress their home and since they know nothing save for raiding, they target the shrine-town and isolated farms for supplies."
"But as followers of Eros, we've done our best to convert them to less destructive lifestyles." Gina then smiled. "And we've succeeded, you know? I've actually lived through two groups of refugees." Her demeanor then returned to gloom. "But I can't deny that there were casualties. And it is those casualties that drive Valerie mad with bloodlust. And as a friend, I cannot let her fall further."
"So there, do you have any more questions?" Asked Gina. "Also, the farmstead is pretty far from here. I don't doubt that Miss Centaur can keep up with my pace but what about Mister Gentleman over here?" She then gasped and had a smile on her face. "Oh, don't tell me. You two are actually together so you just let him ride on you. I see, I see..." The Gandharva jumped to a conclusion.

"Ohhh, you like her then! You totally like her!" Bart replied, a grin on his face. "I'm no expert on the field but this is a textbook example of you liking her!" He then broke into a laugh so loud it could probably be heard all the way to Valoras Woods. "I bet Haley would be happy to hear that! You should go tell her once she gets here." He suggested a potentially very bad idea.
"You are in love, my bunny-eared friend. Or at least infatuated." Bart continued. "Though, most if not all Sirens are kind of like that though. Cheerful, happy and outgoing but I admit, there's something special about Haley. I have a feeling she's not your average Siren. She seems more... I don't know, worldly? No, that's not it..." The guild master remarked as he continued.
"Well anyway, how do you wanna do it?" Bart shifted the topic. "Do you want me to leave so you could focus? Do you want me to help you out? Start the conversation or something?" He suggested plans to your supposed confession.
A Small Problem

Neil was taken aback when Nephele hugged him. When she pulled away, Neil stopped her. "Nephele, I..." He started with a clear blush on his cheeks. However, he never continued and looked away. "It-It can wait. You guys have fun on your bath, okay?"
Maria and Nephele hit the guild's bathroom to relax after their long quest yesterday. The well-built bath by the Dwarves allowed the two monsters to revitalize and reinvigorate their bodies. It really made them relax. They would have fell asleep on the bath had their senses not alerted them to a presence in the bath besides themselves.
Looking around though, they found virtually no one else but each other. Until they saw, in the corner of their eyes, a scurrying little black thing. It was quick and was out of their sight as soon as it appeared, preventing identification. Fortunately, both Nephele and Maria knew that the little intruder, at the very least, hid behind the wooden bucket in the corner. They could surround it and catch it.
However, they do not know what it was. Could it be dangerous? Then extra force would be needed, no? Except this bathroom would be expensive to repair if things get too messy.

"Oh, ah, well..." The boy was still a bit intimidated but he composed himself enough to give a straight answer. "Here's the request board so ah, just... just take a look." He said as he flipped the board to give Shatter and Feast a view of the available quests. "Ah, I think most of these involve... involve fighting so... so, she'll probably enjoy them?"
"Oh, hi Ars. Yeah, here's the request board." Neil turned to also let Ars see the requests.

"I do respect your decision, Miss Gina. I agree with Eilidh, it is a kind decision... To protect your friend, but if you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by 'issues'? If there is something to do with violence in general...is understandable. This palce seems to be a very calm and pacific town. Bandits doesn't seem to be a rather common problem around here, am I right? Otherwise you wouldn't need help."
"I'm... afraid your assessment of this town is incorrect, dear sir." Gina replied as she led Bast and Eilidh.

"The problem is that I don't know anything about relationships or love... And I don't really want Haley to go... It might be a selfish thing to think but..."

“Forgive this imputent child’s attitude. She’s just spoiling for a fight. Do you have any quests where someone like her could be needed?”
"Oh, ah, well..." The boy was still a bit intimidated but he composed himself enough to give a straight answer. "Here's the request board so ah, just... just take a look." He said as he flipped the board to give Shatter and Feast a view of the available quests. "Ah, I think most of these involve... involve fighting so... so, she'll probably enjoy them?"
"Good morning to you all. Mister Neil, is that the request board on your hands? May I take a look?"
"Oh, hi Ars. Yeah, here's the request board." Neil turned to also let Ars see the requests.
