~ Candaeln ~
After the main event, the battle against the necromantic conspirators and the rescue of Tili's sister, the night seemed to pass quickly. The remaining conspirator as well as Tili, who had after all attempted to assassinate the Princess, were taken away to be interrogated and to serve their sentence, respectively. The Iron Rose Knights went back to Candaeln to rest. Jarde had ruined the armor that he had borrowed but surely, circumstances excused it right?

Jarde had a good night's rest, exhausted from the previous night's ordeal. He was about to his usual routine of training when he was suddenly asked to come to a lecture by Paladin Tyaethe. Jarde dutifully followed and soon found himself in a classroom with the Paladin drawing stick figures on a blackboard. The stickmen had labels: 'Alive', 'Sapient undead' and 'Vampire'. The fourth one had no label, but was a drawing of an obvious skeleton.
A circle was drawn around the stickmen 'Alive', 'Sapient undead' and 'Vampire'. Another circle was drawn, this time covering the skeleton, 'Vampire' and 'Sapient undead'.
"Can anyone tell me what these groups represent and why something would be in it?"
Jarde raised his hand, eager to answer the question. "Ahh, the first circle are living beings and the second one are..." His earlier enthusiasm faltered as he could not make heads or tails of what the second circle meant. "...dead?"
The next update would probably move the RP to the next day but it will still have the responses of the NPCs to the players' inputs.
It's back to work for the Guild.

"Oh. Well, I hope it worked. I've heard that what happened at the port was pretty heavy, so I hope you're alright." Bart seemed to buy Kira's lie. "They had a fireworks display this night, you know? It's a shame that you missed it. Err, not like I could talk since me and Yang went home pretty early too. We caught some of the lights going off on the way. I bet it would've been prettier if we were actually there."
"Well, little we could do about it now. At least, the other members got to enjoy it." Nothing more but idle chat followed during the small dinner. It would take a while before the other Guild members came back but Bart retired early to sort out what he gathered during the festival, leaving Kira and Yang to do what they wished.
"Ozzy and I were just...talking. Calming me down, really. Nothing to worry about."

The Operators entered through the back door and found themselves in the facility's kitchen area. There were a couple of tables and several steel chairs. There was a large refrigerator on a corner and about four microwaves sitting on a counter to the side alongside a sink, a few plastic utensils and some coffee makers. Below the counter were some drawers and cabinets. Should the Operators check the fridge and open the drawers, they would find nothing. Although, the kitchen looked pristine despite being abandoned for a long time.
Besides the door they entered in, there was also a pair of double doors in the kitchen. Wu immediately went to open them and he saw the familiar sight of the hallway, just from the other side. "Looks like this is all it. Pretty simple complex, but radio towers built in remote areas are made to be as small as possible. Wanna check the doors on the hallway now?"
One of the two doors on one side of the hallway lead to the generator room. A room that contained only the electric generator that powered the station. Meanwhile, the other door lead to the communications room, the main room of this facility. It contained aged computers and radioes as well as machines that picked up transmissions and signals. Despite being out-of-use for what could be several years, not much dust has settled on the place. "I know some technical stuff about radioes so I can probably set things up. I would need power, though." Ibon said.
"And I know a thing or two about generators. I can handle that." Wu spoke with confidence. "But let's explore the entire facility first before we get to work."
The Operators inspected the last door. Opening it, they found a staircase that lead down. "This probably leads to the bunker." Wu guessed. Having no other choice but to investigate, the group descended the stairs where another door waited for them. Getting past that, they soon found themselves in a wide stone hallway with several doors to the side. On the far end of the hallway was an engraved emblem of the country of Kazimierz. Evidence of this place belonging to Kazimierz military.
Wu and Ibon opened the doors to the sides, revealing rooms with beds and small bathroom areas. These were the living quarters for the crew manning this radio station. Like the area above, this small underground bunker was empty too. Until Ibon found someone. "Guys! Guys, look!" She called everyone over.
On the last room to the left, on the bed tucked in neatly was one of the leaders of this operation. Lying unconscious was Blizzard, seemingly unharmed and no worse for wear. "Blizzard--"
Wu stopped Ibon from getting closer. "Stop! It could be a trap." The Liberi Medic looked at him incredulously. "I-It could be the forest playing with us. This could be an illusion or something."

Yeah, I know. But Nick would want company or a favor under his belt when talking to a powerful being.

The Journey Begins
~ Unknown Village ~
They tucked in for the night, using the naked ground for a bed. Nick was not at all used to this kind of wilderness lifestyle but fortunately, he found a nice rock he could lean on somewhat comfortably. It was also fortunate that he was tired which made it easy for him to head onto to sleep. But before he dozed off, he spotted a star twinkling brightly over to the southern night sky past the mountains. It was a strange sight to be sure, but could it have meant something? It seemed no one else saw it and now that he thought about it, Nick's power concerned the stars, didn't it?
Nick made a note of it in his mind. He would definitely head south and find out if that star guided him to his goals. However, he had different plans for tomorrow. Now that he knew of the deer deity living in the woods around them.
---
The morning came and the party awoke. Nick got up later than the others and so had little to eat for breakfast, a single bite of meat. He watched the others gather snow to melt for a drink. Reluctantly, he did the same and did his best to ignore that they probably stepped on this snow a lot during the previous day.
It was about time to set off and Nick wanted to talk to the group about his decision but Donovan spoke first. He said that he would be heading north to a village for a favor to the deer god in the forest. But before parting, he proposed to 'purify' Octavia which Augusta had reservations about. Even Nick was hesitant on any cleansing on Octavia. Sure, she was an ugly demon dog but she wasn't all that bad.
After Donovan was shot down and began to walk north, Nick was the next to speak. "Guys, I also gotta go. Probably with Donovan." He told Isidore and Augusta. "I'm gonna come clean here, I'm looking for a way home. Back to Earth. I don't know about you two but I've got a life there, and I will return to it." He declared. "I'm gonna see if the deer god has any info about that. I'd wager a deity would know something."
"If this is goodbye, then it's been a pleasure. We may have not known each other long, but it was nice. And you too, ya little scallywag." Nick rubbed Octavia's head. "You guys take care, alright? Maybe we'll see each other again but until then, this is farewell."
With that, Nick would join Donovan.
---
"So yeah, I'm coming with 'cause I got some questions for your deer friend in the woods. Put in a good word for me when we meet him, will you?" Nick told Donovan as they trekked north along the beach. "Ugh, sand. They'recoarse, rough, irritating and gets everywhere."
They soon made it to a settlement. A small fishing village, evident by the small canoes and the hauls of fish being unloaded by them. A young girl emerged from the forest nearby but she did not notice the two arrivals and they did not have a chance to call out to her before she took off.
“Another one...hah... Been a lot of outsiders lately...maybe a sign from the Gods…?”
The idle comment from the man in furs was a revelation to Nick. "Huh. Looks like we're not the first ones here."
There was a woman in exotic clothing standing by the shore and watching the waves. Was that... was that a horn on her head? Okay, a non-human that's infinitely prettier than the non-humans back in the prison. Hopefully, also infinitely friendlier. There was also a large longhouse to the north, likely the residence of the village's mayor or leader.
"Well, we're here. Pretty little village. Wonder what it's called." Nick remarked before turning to Donovan. "What're we here for again?"

Neil dutifully wheeled the Altissima sisters towards his surprise gift for them. "Hmm, I wouldn't say 'long' but they were with the Guild for several days before they had to leave for their personal matters." He answered immediately. "I... guess you could say we're close. Good friends and all." It seemed Neil decided not to reveal anything specific.
Soon, Riñas lead them into an empty space. The darkness of the night made it hard to see anything but with a snap of the Dark Priest's fingers and the place was lit up by several pyres. The area had two cooking stations, tables filled with kitchenware from pans to spatulas and various food ingredients from vegetables and herbs to condiments like salt and spices. The sight... looked very much like the cooking competition from earlier. Albeit smaller.
"You two, err... I guess Vivian, really wanted to join the cooking contest earlier but instead, you got stuck working with me." Neil said as he took his place on one of the cooking stations and putting on an apron. "So to show my gratitude, I asked Riñas to prepare another one of these. Thanks again, Sister Riñas."
"No problem, Neil. Sorry it's not as extravagant as the one from earlier but it was all last-minute, you know?" The Dark Priest replied. "You also mentioned that you wanted to ask me something regarding the Fallen God? Well, we can talk about later after you're done with this threesome. Farewell and have fun!" And with that, Riñas took off to handle the festival.
Neil sighed at the parting remarks. "Well then, you two. You may be professional chefs, but I'll have you know that I'm no slouch at this. En garde, Sylvia and Vivian!"

Sir Reed chuckled. "Don't be so tense around me, Madam Nagare." It seemed he noticed the ice dragon's anxious feeling towards him. "I know I look like I'm ready to slay a dragon and save a princess but I guarantee you, I am not looking to spill any monster blood. Besides, who in their right mind would raise a blade against a beauty like you?"
Talia the Cyclops raised her single eyebrow. "Smitten with her, Sir Reed?"
"What? Can a man not compliment a lady without getting accused of courtship?" Reed retorted.
Haley shrugged. "Mmm, long story short: A dude here has a Kikimora pining for him. He kept turning her down until she chugged a Doppelganger potion so she have more bodies with which to kidnap him with. We put a stop to that but turns out, the dude is a former Order soldier with an oath that got betrayed by the Order itself. His feelings on that is driving him to want to die fighting against his betrayers."
"We talked some sense into him. Hopefully it sticks." Haley finished.
Noticing that Ditzy was tired, Talia felt the exhaustion of the day catch up to her. The excitement from seeing the fireworks had subsided and the Cyclops let out a little yawn. "Hey all, since the festival's mostly over, why don't we head on home? Me and Ditzy are worn out for the day."
"Yeah, I agree. We should probably say goodbye to the Dark Priest before we leave." Haley said. "Is everyone in agreement?"

After the talk with Ozzy, the Owl Harpy Margaret suddenly appeared and frantically looking for him. She explained that an arrangement she encountered was a great opportunity, both for her and the male Harpy Ozzy. She didn't go into specifics but it was something about meeting some high-rank monsters and this was a chance for them to witness the existence of male monsters.
The departure for the meeting was imminent and Ozzy accepted, saying farewell to Kira, Yang and Bart, lamenting he could not say goodbye to the others and leaving that to the Beelzebub and the monk. It was unknown when Ozzy would be back but for now and the immediate future, the Guild would be missing a member.
"I can't believe he left just like that." Bart said as he dined with the present guild members. "But it's like that, isn't it? I've heard from Neil that a lot of us just went up and left like that." Turning his gaze to Kira, he asked. "Say, you left for the Guild after the incident with the Kikimora, didn't you? Everything alright?"
"Vară and Nagare seem nice. Were they in the Guild long before they left? Were you close?"
Neil dutifully wheeled the Altissima sisters towards his surprise gift for them. "Hmm, I wouldn't say 'long' but they were with the Guild for several days before they had to leave for their personal matters." He answered immediately. "I... guess you could say we're close.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sir Reed-san. Though a dragon I may be, I’m not all that amazing I’m afraid! I hope that I don’t end up being too much of a burden on you.”
Sir Reed chuckled. "Don't be so tense around me, Madam Nagare." It seemed he noticed the ice dragon's anxious feeling towards him. "I know I look like I'm ready to slay a dragon and save a princess but I guarantee you, I am not looking to spill any monster blood.

Talia the Cyclops raised her single eyebrow. "Smitten with her, Sir Reed?"
"What? Can a man not compliment a lady without getting accused of courtship?" Reed retorted.
“The kidnapping sounded like a serious problem, I’m glad to hear you resolve it in the end! We’d love to hear it, right Vară?”
"Regarding the kidnapping... It was quite a complex issue... I may not be the best to discuss these particular things but it had to do with unrequited love... From both parts, due to an Oath he took... As weird as it sounds."
Haley shrugged. "Mmm, long story short: A dude here has a Kikimora pining for him. He kept turning her down until she chugged a Doppelganger potion so she have more bodies with which to kidnap him with.
