"Ditzy say we beat up the group! Dragon lady will beat ogre, and if we win, then it's good! Reed go fight...lizards, Ditzy can beat up orcs and minotaur!"

Ditzy Stoneclub

Reed shrugged, but he was on board with the dishonorable plan. "Well, I hope Nagare doesn't get too mad."

He then got on one knee to explain the situation to Ada who was pointing at the surrounded ice Dragon with concern. "Ada, we're going to help Nagare. Ditzy said he would take care of the Orcs and the Minotaur while I handle the Lizardman and the Salamander. We're still outnumbered and outmatched but now, we have the element of surprise. I'll admit, it won't look good for us but... we have no choice. Sorta."

"Anyway, here's the plan." Reed motioned to Ditzy to come over. "Ada, here's what you're gonna do. I need you to help Ditzy knock out the Orcs and the Minotaur. As soon as you're done with that, help me with the lizards. Got it?" Reed then stood up and unsheathed his sword once more. "I can't beat the Lizardman and the Salamander. But I can keep them busy."

"Are we crystal on the plan? Alright, let's do it!"

-

Nagare blasted water from her draconic mouth. The more agile of the warrior troupe dived out of the way as much as possible while the Ogre and the other strength-focused monsters withstood the jets of cold water from the ice Dragon.

But Nagare cannot be spraying her torrents at all of them while surrounded. Once she was blasting away the Ogre, the Orcs took the opportunity to slam their bodies on her tail and the ice Dragon would feel terrible weight upon her behind. The Lizardman and the Salamander approached, striking their swords against Nagare's scales. Meanwhile, the Minotaur still waited for a good opening to deal a mighty blow.

Help, Wanted 2
~@AzureKnight (VRA)~

“Shut up! I’m gonna smash you into little charred pieces! Neil, get out of the way!”

Vară Riemsianne

"Alright, I'll let you handle this." Neil nodded. "I'll go look for help. Err, try not to destroy too much of the place." He made his way to the kitchen door and left. It was surprising that Ian allowed all of this to happen. What could he be planning?

"Why'd you send him away? Afraid you'll look bad once I lay the inevitable beatdown on you?" Ian continued to brim with confidence as he circled around you, like a predator upon prey.

You ignited your polearm and charged once more, spreading fire around the vicinity all the while so Ian could no longer do his confounded side dodges. But the mercenary did not plan on evading, instead he dropped his sword and grabbed a barrel and used it to block your charge. The polearm pierced clean through the barrel but barely missing Ian's head, scraping his helmet.

Water spilled messily from the damaged barrel which began to douse your weapon's flames. Ian then released his grip on the barrel and the sudden onset of weight made you drop the polearm and the mercenary used the opportunity to land a dropkick, sending you stumbling back away from your polearm.

Ian grabbed another barrel of water and hurled it towards you. He was clearly intending to fight you with the kitchen's water reserves.

Yang and Kira made their quiet trip back to the Guild headquarters without any further incident. Night has fallen when they arrived and they found that their appeared to be quite some activity happening in the kitchen.

The two entered and found that the kitchen was filled with a dozen or so little monsters, particularly Giant Mice and Devil Bugs, all of whom were feasting happily on some well-made lasagna. Besides them were the Altissima sisters, Freyr and his lover, Haley. "Oh hey, you two." The Siren appeared as exhausted as the monk and the Beelzebub.

"By the Demon Lord, you two look horrible. Are you two alright?"

Nick managed to evade the grab, snow and dirt flying all over the place. Great! His next actions fared less better, though. The giant let out a chuckle at Nick's hopeless situation, raising its other foot to punt the otherworlder into Lord-knows-where. Fortunately, the giant was still slow in its attack so Nick imagined he would be able to dive to the side and avoid the powerful kick. But he knew he couldn't just be dodging forever, the giant was bound to catch him at some point.

“Aha?”

Nick's pleas for help at least earned the warrior woman's brief attention. But he could not look as he still had a giant on him who was about to send him flying probably kilometers away and several feet into the air. The giant began to swing his foot and Nick prepared to dive to the side. But the giant foot coming towards him was huge, was a dive enough to avoid it? It needed to a complete dodge for a small graze can do significant damage to him.

But then, another giant crashed into the first one and the two tumbled down the mountain. Nick scrambled away, barely avoiding the two flesh boulders going down the snowy mount. He didn't need to guess who sent the giant flying. What did puzzle him was how the warrior woman sent the gigantic adversary into the air. Did she lift the creature and hurl? Was she that strong? How did that even work? This world continued to surprise Nick.

“Ooooi!~ Cute little guy, up here if you wanna live! Can’t be sure there aren’t any more of these guys that’d wanna take a nibble out of ya~!”

She didn't need to tell him twice. Nick was too tired to reply and climbed his way towards the warrior woman. There were still two giants though and his eyes widened as he instinctively summoned a bit of strength to yell. "Hey, hey! Watch out!" Nick pointed at the two giants with spears who looked just about ready to attack.

I would post, but I kinda need others' input first. Maybe I'll still get one out, though.

Argh, missed the update. Things too hectic on my end.

Well, hopefully I'll get a post out soon. But now that I don't have to rush...

Hey all! Since no one has posted yet and things are pretty hectic for me lately, I'm gonna go ahead push the update to the weekend once again.

Sorry for the delays.

"Oh! Hi Haley! Freyr! These...umm... mice and bugs showed up, and they were pretty hungry, so I thought I'd cook them up a meal and send them on their way."

Vivian Altissima

"How was your day? You were looking for some poor soul lost in the woods, correct/?"

Sylvia Altissima

"...Ugggghhhh. You wouldn't believe what happened to me and Freyr." Haley grabbed a nearby chair and slumped on it, tossing the coat she had to the side. Her mind was taken off from the Giant Mice and Devil Bugs happily dining in the kitchen, wanting to unload the rather exhilirating experience she just had. "The poor soul lost in the woods? Yeah, turns out he was just some crazy guy. Me and Freyr decided to bag the guy so he doesn't hurt anyone, right?"

"Well, just when I was about to grab him, he falls into a river and drags me with him! I thought that was gonna be it for me, you know? The current was powerful and I'm not exactly built to be a swimmer." Haley sighed as she told her story. By now, the little monsters had gathered around her to listen. "Ahh, fortunately. Freyr, ever my hero, managed to swoop in and fish me from the river before I was swept away. Lost the crazy guy, though."

"And now, Freyr just told me we just hitched a ride with a drug-pusher that just got out of jail and seemed to be resuming business. Can you believe it? Ugh, I can't wait for this day to end." Haley finished. "What about the others? Are they here?"

The Journey Begins

~ Unknown Mountains ~

Interacted with: @Rune_Alchemist

Why? Why did he trudge forward? Heaven above, his feet and legs burned with exhaustion and his stomach grumbled for sustenance. Nick could barely walk when he reached the base of the mountains. He fell to his knees, filled with immense regret that he did not hunker down for the night back in that forest. He gasped for breaths, inhaling cold air and exhaling hot. Raising his head high, he beheld the mountains' height. Nick knew he was going to die if he tried to climb that. And yet, what choice did he have? There was nary a sign of civilization on his way here.

Nick wondered what to do next. He closed his eyes to give himself a brief respite and room to think. He could--

“Yahooo!~”

His thoughts were broken when he heard a joyful yell. Right after, something big, very big, tumbled down the mountain and landed next to Nick. He had to cover himself from the blown snow debris before discovering that it was some huge humanoid - a giant! Nick was at a loss for words, awed at the sight.

“Ahahah, I thought giants were supposed to be tough! Man you guys are pathetic! Some world-enders you’re supposed to be, ahaha!~”

Nick's gaze went to the voice. It belonged to a woman, fair-skinned but leaning to pale with short, black hair and dressed in red with a black cape flowing behind her. By her side was a large, single-edged sword reminiscent of a cleaver. She was surrounded by three other giants, armed with spears and axes scaled in size to suit them. Despite the giants' towering figures, the woman was not at all worried. In fact, she seemed to be winning this altercation.

The ground rumbled again, and Nick jerked his head to the side to find the fallen giant getting up. It had noticed him and reached out a hand to grab him. Nick panicked. This was the end for him, most definitely, but he could at least try, right? His mind raced and adrenaline pumped in his blood, survival instincts kicking in.

It was a giant so theoretically, Nick would be faster. In fact, he noticed that the hand reaching out to him was a bit slow. Still, a giant's a giant and if Nick ran away, he could still be caught thanks to the giant's range even if it was slow. What Nick could do was use the giant's size against it. He thought of a plan, a risky one but it could work.

Just when the giant was about to grab him, Nick would roll forward before breaking into a dash. Not away from the giant, but towards it. Specifically, he would attempt to run between its legs in an attempt to confuse it. But even if he succeeded, what could he do to fight? All he was really doing was delaying the inevitable. He thought about the woman higher up in the mountain, maybe she could help. But he'll have to shake off this giant for a while to do so.

Nick wondered if it could work, it was certainly a longshot but he had to try it. If he succeeded in running in-between the giant's legs, Nick would summon all his strength to crash himself against one of the shins of the giant. It was an attempt to make the giant lose its footing and at best, make it fall over again. Hopefully, this would give Nick enough time to reach the woman. He would get as close as he could, yelling all the while.

"Help! Heeelp! I've got a huge problem here! Literally!"

The group ignored Jarde's words. Disheartening, but at least they were now more concerned with finding the dangerous artifact rather than argue who gets it. That is, until Lady Maritza speculated as to who could be Alette the Shark's employers and how they could be enemies of Thaln. Fortunately, Sir Gillian took the lead and pushed the idea of splitting to comb the fort for the artifact.

"We can all circle back to the issue of killing each other after we find the shard. Alette, the Captain, myself and... Billy."

Gillian Reynaud

"Ow, hey!" Sir Gillian grabbed Jarde by the collar and dragged him along as well as Captain Fanilly. Being rude to him was one thing, but was it alright to do this kind of thing with the Captain? He may be a senior knight but Fanilly was still his superior. "Sir Gillian, with all due respect, that's the Captain..."

If no one objected to the plan, then Jarde would be joining Sir Gillian, Captain Fanilly and Alette in searching for the dark artifact in the fort captain's office. Perhaps they could find some clues or leads there, being the seat of the fort's leadership. Although, the place might already have been investigated since a couple of Iron Roses already went inside the fort to check. "... and who's Billy?"

Sorry for the late update. Writing's been hard to me lately. In fact, I will go ahead and say that the next update will be skipping a week again so take your time in posting.

"Please tell me that you're just transporting gold for the bank or something..."

Freyr

"O-Of course, of course! Yes, that's it!" George was fully onboard with your guess, albeit still looking plenty suspicious. "I transport money for bank! You see, I travel alone so no one suspect me. No one pays attention to lone guy with empty-looking chest."

It was clear from Haley's face with her half-lidded eyes that she bought none of it. "All right, if you say so." She shrugged, choosing to leave the matter alone for now. They were getting near to the guild's headquarters and decided not to stir up trouble.

George dropped the two of you near the entrance to the guild before quickly saying his farewells and speeding away. He probably realized that Haley was onto him and did not want to linger in her company any longer.

"You ARE telling me the truth later, right Freyr?" Haley asked, unamused with her wings on her hips.

"Sometimes a little effort, a little knowledge, and a little patience, is all it takes to create something far greater than the sum of its parts. Think, if you had eaten the flour, the cheese, and the tomatoes raw, and by themselves, it wouldn't be nearly as tasty, right? A relationship with a man is similar, if you just grab every man that crosses your path and have your way with him, he'll escape the next day, and you're back at square one, scrambling to look for another man to fill the emptiness in your heart. And you also miss out on all the wonders of a fully developed relationship, like devotion and deep connection,"

Sylvia Altissima

The little monsters watched in silent amazement and anticipation as the sisters' took the lasagna out of the oven and let its cheesy aroma fill the kitchen. After cooling it a bit, plates of the pasta was served to each of the monsters. Drool dripped from their lips as their eyes shone. It was time to eat.

"Ah, it's still too hot!" A Devil Bug complained after attempting to touch the pasta.

"Ah, ah! I know what to do here!" The Giant Mouse that was captured earlier put down her plate and began searching through the kitchen cabinets. She then returned to her group with handfuls of forks, taken without any sort of permission from the Altissima sisters. "We can use these and then blow on the lasanya some more before eating them."

Time passed as the little monsters dined with the Altissimas watching over them, generally making sure they don't cause any trouble as they ate. It was difficult having to deal with this situation mostly alone. Fortunately, the Liliraune would not be on their lonesome any longer.

"Heeey! We're back!" Haley burst into the kitchen with her lover Freyr. "Oh man, what a day we had. Did you know that--" She was greeted by the scene of a dozen or so Large Mice and Devil Bugs eating lasagna pasta on plates, served to them by their guildmates Sylvia and Vivian. The two parties stared at each other before Haley spoke up.

The Siren looked towards the Altissima sisters. "Are we... interrupting something here?"

"Your troupe is indeed strong, as was expected. As I was the one who first reached out to you all, allow me to be the one who settles this fight!"

Nagare

Everyone on the field took a step back and watched the Ice Dragon Nagare transform into her draconic form. Once it was done, the Ogre let out a hearty laugh. "Ha! I was wondering when you'd change into your primal form. I was beginning to think you were not a Dragon or were one of those Dragons who swore off changing forever." She then cracked her knuckles. "NOW it's a real fight!"

Nagare charged toward the Ogre, who stood her ground as the rest of her troupe fanned out. Despite seeming like a bunch of muscleheads, they knew that even a great Dragon can do little if she was surrounded. At the very least, the troupe would have an advantage in the fight.

Meanwhile, Reed stood with Ditzy and Ada. "You know..." He started as the last fight commenced. "We can help her out. I mean, it would be against Nagare's wishes, and it would be really shameful, but we can help her out. And if we win, we can get away with it. Mostly, I doubt Nagare would be happy with us then."

~@AzureKnight (VRA)~

"Listen closely, because I don't like repeating myself. I'm taking Neil and getting out of this place. If you want to be covered in charred cuts, I'll be overjoyed to oblige you - in a more suitable location."

Vară Riemsianne

"Whoa..." Neil was awed by the transformation, even while pinned on the stone floor of the treasury chamber. For a moment, he forgot the scorching heat that engulfed the room to behold the true form of the Fire Demon before him.

Ian, on the other hand, was mostly unfazed. "Awww, but things are just heating up perfectly fine right here. Get it? Hahahaha!" The armored thief laughed at his own joke before deftly leaping away to evade your charge, which at least released his hold on Neil. Despite being covered in armor, Ian was swift like a rogue. As befitting a thief in the night... Sort of.

You smashed through a section of the chamber's thick, stone wall and found yourself in a new area. The kitchen of this building, to be exact. You saw an unlit fireplace, cooking pots and pans, ingredients either collected into bowls or hanging from the ceiling. There were also several barrels of what was probably water or other drinks.

Your monstrous strength and power meant you took no damage from slamming your body against solid rock, only a slight sting as if merely bitten by an insect. "Vară?! Are you okay?!" Neil emerged from the burning hole you punched through, ignoring the flames as best he could as he escaped from Ian. He attempted to approach, but the heat you radiated stopped him. "Ugh! I'm sorry, Vară, but you're really hot right now. Err, literally, I mean."

Next to emerge from the hole was the armored-yet-agile thief. His longsword was brandished and he stood, brimming with confidence. "If your heat managed to cook everything in this room, do you think it'll feed all of Ambran?"
