Leaving 20 September until 30 October. Going to be a shitty time in the field. Probably going to be a week after that before I even think about writing again.

The world definitely felt a little arcade-y, as Sanguine had pointed out, but it also meant that everything was conveniently located, and Oliver wasn't going to argue with that. It was a short trip across the plaza to their destination, and the warrior was excited as they stepped inside. This was their first step toward becoming real heroes. Once he crossed the threshold, though, he lost that train of thought. Despite its size on the outside, it still seemed to be larger on the inside. The place seemed to be designed for an adventurer's every need. Of course, most adventurer's probably didn't need much beyond more quests and a place to drink and recover, and that was all he could see right now. Not one to disagree with that, the Cleric stuck to his companion's left side as they strode up to the counter. He didn't say anything while she negotiated their payment, instead studying the room around them, and the various "adventuring" types.

Their host seemed a little gruff, but he supposed it made sense. You didn't want to get attached to the new guys until you knew they'd be coming home after a quest. The dwarf disappeared through a door behind the bar, and reappeared just as quickly, leaving the door swinging idly behind him. Now he was holding everything they would need to register with the guild. The shorter man laid out the forms and began instructing them on how to fill them out. His thick dwarven accent gave Oliver a bit of a ride as the Paladin tried to sort out all of the details that he was supposed to include. It was pretty straight forward when he did more reading of the form than listening to Caddoc, though.

It seemed like registration really wasn't much of an inconvenience. At least on their part. The forms were filled out in moments, and there didn't seem to be any other steps that they needed to complete. Caddoc took their forms and disappeared again, this time for longer, and when he returned he had a scroll for each of them to sign. It was a bit difficult for Oliver to make out, but the gist he got was that they needed to sign the bottom and then this scroll would serve as their identification papers while they were in the area. It sounded like anywhere there was an adventuring guild, this would be all the papers they needed.

"So where do we get some quests then?" he asked, eager to get started. Now that the administration was dealt with, he was even more excited to go save some damsels or something. Really, anything would do at the moment, he just wanted to show people how good they were...
Hey, sorry about that. having some trouble with real life stuff. not enough hours in the day for me to do what I want to. just restarted with my pathfinder group, and been sorting out shit at work, and it seems like every time I sit down to post it's time for me to go to bed. I will work on it. really sorry.
Hey, sorry, just got home, been sorting things out. I will post asap.
Sorry about that
Oliver mostly stayed quiet while he waited for Sanguine to get the teleporter up and running. She assured their immediate subordinates that there was nothing to fear before setting their destination. This was the part where the Paladin would have been sitting in a lobby waiting for a raid to start. Instead, he was standing around. Not much difference, but things definitely went quicker, which made him happy. The long raid queues were always the worst part, and that seemed to be fixed almost entirely because the vampire at the controls had everything ready to go in a moment or two. The two of them barely paused to wave at the pair staying behind before stepping through the portal.

Just like in the game, teleportation was instant, and surprisingly, not all that disorienting. The lack of loading screen was probably his favourite part, though. A quick glance around told him they were standing on the road to their destination, just out of sight of anyone who might have been shocked by the sudden appearance of two strangers. "Adventuring! Fuck yeah!" Oliver sang to himself, to the tune of Team America's most memorable performance. This was definitely his favourite part, exploring strange places, slaying great beasts, and collecting trophies and treasures.

Of course, they needed a quest first, so they couldn't just strike off into the wilderness. Lucky for them, the trip to the city was short. Unfortunately, the guards seemed to have something to say about people without "Identification". The Cleric was prepared for anything, though, and backed up his glorious leader by looking as big and unpleasant as he could. She handled things remarkably well, though, getting them a free pass into the city and they were on their way.

"That was surprisingly easy..." he spoke quietly as they passed through the gate. He wasn't sure why, but wasn't going to question it. Now it was just a matter of finding the adventurer's guild. That didn't seem too hard, though. The city appeared to be rather well laid-out, at least initially. Entirely round, it had three main "spokes" leading to the centre, with much smaller roads shooting off to what were likely residential districts. They reached the main plaza easily enough, and it seemed to hold everything most people would need. There was plenty of space in the centre for whatever events could come up, and the edge of the plaza was ringed by all the largest, and fanciest shops that looked to be every major service this place had to offer.

"That's pretty cool." Oliver agreed to himself, slowing down drastically as he soaked in the plaza. After a moment admiring the architecture, he spotted their goal. "I'm going to assume that the big building that says 'Adventurer's Guild', is the place we are looking for." he pointed for Sanguine's benefit, but wouldn't have been surprised if she'd already spotted it. It was definitely one of the larger buildings around, and the Gothic styling was a nice touch. He looked around some more as they crossed the plaza, but nothing really excited the warrior, he figured that was probably because their guild artisans were far more capable than anyone here, so there wasn't much point in wasting time perusing various shops. So unless his fearless leader had somewhere else she wanted to check out before they joined the Adventurer's Guild, he figured they should head straight there. The fastest route to domination was directly in front of them. Assuming they didn't want to take the actual fastest route which involved an incredibly large amount of murder...
All righty, that sounds good to me. I will see what I can come up with.
Hey, so, I dunno if you've noticed but I've been struggling with my inspiration lately. Not entirely sure why, or what to do about it. I am not ready to say I'm done with this one, especially since I know you've got lots of ideas and directions, but I might be a little slower than you like over the holidays. I will keep working on that, though...
It was an interesting experience...
Hey, not sure if I told you, but I got laser eye surgery last week, that's why I haven't replied, haven't really been able to use the computer.
Okay, cool!
