THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Adam had expected the worst. He expected to be yelled at, kicked off the team, and sent packing before he could even finish his lunch. What happened instead was quite different. Instead, James started telling the younger man about his life in HR. When he mentioned the guy watching Dragon Ball in the bathroom, Adam couldn't help but laugh a little.

"That sounds like something my brother would do," the Druid responded after that. Eric did have a habit of hiding to avoid chores when he was younger. Adam let the Cleric continue talking after this, listening intently as he proceeded to try reassuring the red-eyed man of his place on the team. The logic did make sense, but he'd be lying to himself if he said he didn't still feel somewhat guilty over the events of yesterday. Still, James was the leader and nobody had confronted the Druid yet, so it was fair to at least try moving forward.

"That is appreciated, I will do that" was the simple yet sincere reply Adam gave to the Cleric's request as the former's food arrived. Deciding to start with the eggs, the Druid ate a little as James described his day. A new team member was a good idea; they had lost two people (thanks to himself, Adam felt) and someone who could work together with everyone was welcome. Swallowing his food, the red-eyed man answered the question he was asked.

"Kind of eventful. I went to the library for books and met a new friend who taught me some things. Then I came here to drop off most of the books. And here I am." The Druid decided to skip talking about his trip up the mountain, thinking James might misinterpret the intent. There would be time to mention it to someone on the team later anyway. Right now though, it was time for something he had been meaning to do since the group's first battle together.

"Oh, I've been meaning to thank you for your spell back in Hommas with the ogres. One hit me pretty hard and I might have died if that wasn't there. So, well…thank you." It didn't feel eloquent to him, but Adam was glad to have said it.

He wasn't great in social situations. Fighting the fiercest monsters was nothing compared to being in a large group of people where casual conversation was expected.

@Jay009

This is too relatable lol

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

Adam had kept one book on his person as he walked downstairs. He had planned on finding a place with a cheap meal and reading; the man didn't know if he would even be in Second Chance after everything that happened, so it was smart to be frugal. Not that he was really a big spender anyway; his father's degree was in accounting and the parental figure had passed on at least a little knowledge of numbers to his children. The plan changed though, thanks to five words from the team's leader.

"Hey Adam! Here! Wanna join?"

James Sirius

The truth was, Adam wanted to be alone as he felt he didn't deserve to talk to anyone on his team at that moment, but he felt ignoring James would be rude. He forced himself to smile and nodded, joining the Cleric at the table. At least now he'd know if he was still in the group. The Druid was about to speak when Frederick asked if he wanted anything. Not wanting to delay the inevitable, the younger man simply ordered what James was having. With that out of the way, Adam directed his attention to his (maybe nor for long) leader and politely spoke.

"What's going on?"

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

James cracked a grin at Lucy's stories of young Barracker, they were surprisingly... 'wholesome' was the word he wanted to use but taking into account that they wanted to 'give a lift' to some orcs perhaps it was not the most appropriate word, still, he could almost imagine tall and broody by his side and his little gaggle of friends asking those same questions.

"Ya know? It is reassuring that you vouch for him so much, we already had accepted him but getting the guild master's approval is a hell of a recommendation." Turning towards his quiet companion he extended a hand "Well Barracker, welcome officially to Second Chance, hope you love your stay" Looking once more at the Guild Master he bid his goodbyes "Welp, thanks for everything Lucy, I will get our of your hair now, see you later"

“So, what's the next mission?”

Barry? No, Cracker? No!, Barrack?... Obama!? Nah that was just silly

"Right you still don't know" He mulled the words on his mind for a second "We are trying to rank up to Silver as quick as possible so we were given a choice between several options, we after careful instrospection we setled on a Gold contract, we leave in a couple of days towards the Temple of Hades to kill the Greater Wraith thas has nested there so if you need to make any preparations I suggest you use these days to do it" Saying so he decided to say something semisirius for once, laying a hand agaisnt the taller man's shoulder he started "Thank you for joining us Barracker, truthfully I feel more at ease knowing we have another able person on the party" He patted the other man a few times before retracting his hand "Well I am going back to The Mended Drum if you wanna meet the party or just hang with us you know where to find us"

Satisfied with his interpersonal interaction he started walking towards the inn before a thought crossed his mind, he... had forgotten to tell Barracker about the fact that they were from another world which was a HUUGEEE oversight if he was being honest, best to take care of that before doing anything else.

Stopping his walk he turned his torso towards the Vampiric Paladin "Oh right, another tiny, almost insignificant detail I forgot to add... We Second Chance come from another world" He waited for barely a second before giving a wave with the hand and resuming his walk "Till later dude!"

Nailed it.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-

Returning towards The Mended Drum might not have been the most Logistical sound decision but in his defense the journey to the Guild and back was halfway through the city so he felt justified in taking a breather on a familiar location before setting off again.

Entering the establishment he noticed a distinct lack of his party members.

Shrugging his shoulders he went to Frederick the innkeeper and sorted his meal, before long he was seated and about to gulf down a hearty mix of eggs and bread with some meat he guessed was beef thrown in. The only thing stopping him was the figure of Adam going coming down the stairs, this was a prime opportunity to talk with the younger man, the second person he really need to talk more to (Fenna was the first) "Hey Adam! Here! Wanna join?"

@Teyao

I think Sillagy is playing tricks again :P

James: Detailed explanation of why they took a gold contract and when they're leaving.
Also James: bythewaywe'refromanotherworldokbye

Our characters haven't interacted much, should be interesting.

Oh, because I forgot to post this earlier:

Some adventurers were gifted with the Fire Domain. Some Light. Some Water. MacKensie's Domain was Retail.

@Zool

The water ninja appears to attack Second Chance
MacKensie: this scarf matches your eye
Water ninja: explodes

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

<Snipped quote by Zapdos>

Tangling thorn bushes as like 3x3 ft traps or even rows. Hinders the enemy, slows them down

Giant Venus flytraps

Poisonous bulbs that burst with dust clouds of sleep posion or death poison or pepper spray when the enemy steps on them

Tree trunk spears. Grow a tree trunk, grind it like a pencil sharpener against rocky surface until you have a sharp point. Throw it at the enemy

Flowers that make animals go berserk. Grow them in the right environment, lure the beasts and cause chaos

Grow some bark gauntlets, stick hands in, break them off the ground and start swinging

Thats all I got for now

@Saiyan

Great ideas! I was thinking some kind of poisonous dandelion-esque thing actually; instead of making a wish, the seeds damage enemies :P A bulb might work better instead though. Either way, the visual is helpful and I like your ideas.

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

I couldn't think of much, so hopefully today's post is enjoyable all the same. The end was inspired by @Crusader Lord lol

THE WAR FOR MYTHERIA - Isekai Adventure

The woman nodded in response as Adam looked through the pile of books she had given him. After getting a few more in line with the older Druid's recommendations, the man left the library and headed for his next destination. Fiona had been very helpful, judging by the fact that the red-eyed nature magic user was walking towards the hotel using both of his hands to carry his newfound literature. A recent snippet of a conversation played out in his head as he did so.

"When should I return these by?" Adam had asked, having no clue how libraries handled late books in Mytheria. 

"Oh, whenever you can. If you want. Glee vouched for you, so you're good." Even the younger Druid, oblivious as he could be around women at times, could tell the librarian had some sort of fangirl crush on the half-orc.

Not that he had anything against her, but Fiona's feelings weren't why he was thinking about that. The fact was that Glee seemed to be quite fond of him, which was quite a contrast from how the red-eyed man felt about himself. Maybe it was that Glee didn't know about what had happened at the Hillocks, though he probably had been in similar (or worse) situations with his team. It was something to think about, along with-

The Mended Drum appeared before his eyes though, interrupting his thoughts and changing them to "how am I going to open this door while carrying all these books?" Just then, a helpful employee opened the door from the inside; she seemed to be an ordinary human woman, a little surprising after seeing orcs and elves everywhere. "How can I-oh, you checked in last night. Can I help you with those?" 

Adam nodded, asking her to help with the doors while he carried the books to his room. It was more the logistics of moving the items that was the problem, not their weight. Even though she wasn't out of shape, lifting Lillianna to Valheim the day before had made this seem much easier in retrospect.

After the literature was safe in his room, the Druid thanked the girl who went back to her normal work. He wondered what he should do next before his stomach decided to make that decision for him, grumbling to indicate that he should probably get something to eat.

Food sounded like a good idea, yes.

Escape from the Prison Mine

@Saiyan unfortunately it does seem like the RP is dead. I appreciate the effort everyone brought to this story, maybe we'll write together again elsewhere.
