@Jay009 that is appreciated! Also, it's funny how Adam is completely oblivious to the Baphomet stuff.

@AvaP you're good, my Mazy Hillocks intro probably bored people with its length at some point :P I had Adam in the Drum alone for maximum flexibility for the set up for Alison's entrance, so I'm good with whatever set up works best.
@xenon it could be interesting for Barracker I think - the Hades connection could be something to work with, though that would be up to @Jay009 of course.

@Zool I liked the Wulrick mention, I have a silly idea for a flashback post involving him and Xavier I might write someday.
James’ adaptability was quite impressive to Adam. The latter had pushed all the blame onto himself in a likely foolish attempt to help his group, while the former was able to deflect and even potentially turn the situation into an advantage of sorts for Second Chance. Once more, the Druid was reminded why the Cleric was the best choice for team leader - not that he ever had any doubts about it.
After the two left the Mended Drum, the fisherman was content to walk in silence until just before they parted. That was when James imparted some advice upon Adam.
All in all, it made sense, and the Druid said as much. “Right, I'll do my best to do that, thank you.” And more importantly…
“Oh, and considering our likely path in the future, if you ever want to talk about that ‘pathological fear’ you mentioned, you know where to find me.” Adam, having thought until today that the Blessing was a simple memory exchange, felt that there was more to James’ Lathop ability than he had said before. The red-eyed man would not pry though; he just wanted to be there for his friend. So with that said, the American said good night as well, returning the Mexican's shoulder-pat sentiment with a friendly wave.
-----
The next morning, Adam woke up early, ate a quick breakfast and went straight to Golden Tree Park. People were just starting to arrive, so the Druid was able to begin casting without too much conversation beforehand. No plants that could kill him this time, only normal trees to aid Valheim's defense.
By the time he was out of magic, it was just about time to head back to the Drum to meet MacKensie's new friend. Upon his return though, it seemed nobody from Second Chance was around! Adam was momentarily worried he missed everyone until Frederick informed him that the French woman had gone upstairs, easing his concerns. With no reason to follow, the fisherman sat down, waiting for his teammates to show up.

"Hey Adam, Tree-Man, look, this may have been a fuckup but it was a collective fuckup, any of us should have reported the entire thing the moment we found out about it, hell I doubt you are the only one who send messages, there are a lot of Adventurers around and I bet a couple of them have friends and family outside" He took a couple seconds to think the right words "Look what I am saying is don't beat yourself too much over it m'kay? I know you are your harshest critic and truthfully thoughts like that will just make you suffer for nothing. Better focus in what is to come"

If Brandon Heat isn't a fire mage or something, I will be disappointed in the waste of pun potential :P
James had to think, which was in character for him. And based on his words and tone, Adam had more evidence he messed up. Oh, what a mess this day had become, and after it being so good for most of it! The Druid's train of thought continued along these lines until being placed on a new track by the Cleric.
No, no they had not. And yes, the team leader was right. Upon taking a split second to reflect, Adam knew that charging into the enemy camp like that would end badly. To respond to James’ question, Adam mirrored his action and took a deep breath of his own first; he wouldn't be helpful if he was panicked the whole time. Then he formulated his response:
“No, we did not. And I doubt she knows - Lucy didn't snoop on my message to Glee despite her interest, and I'd imagine someone put in charge of the mail would have to be trustworthy.”
Yeah, that was a good idea, so the American nodded and walked with the Mexican to the Guildhouse. During that time, Adam tried thinking of ways to help. He did not consider himself to be a great strategist like the man next to him, but he still wanted to try to make up for his mistake, somehow.
“Maybe…if they attack early, the barrier team won't be drained, so they can help the city stay safe?” It wasn't a super insightful thing, he felt, so he added “or is that stating the obvious?” The Druid would listen to and respond to the Cleric of course, though it wasn't a long conversation; the two had entered their destination fairly quickly, having become more familiar with the city thanks to the time they had spent there.
After a glance to see if Lucy was at the bar, Adam and James went upstairs when it was clear she was not. Thankfully, she was at her desk, and the elf was her usual polite self when greeting the adventurers.
“Unfortunately, I messed up, and I'm sorry for that. First, I never mentioned to anyone that the enemy can see Source Mail messages and interfere with communications. And second, I overlooked that fact when sending my letter, so now the Witch Queen knows we knew when they were going to attack. Frankly, they probably have a new plan now. Again, I apologize for the mistake.”
The red-eyed man, maybe subconsciously, had shifted all of the blame for not sharing the communications hack to himself. Perhaps it was his way of trying to make things right with his team, so they could function even if he became a target for the error. He knew that the mistake wouldn't define him to those who mattered, but his desire to do the right thing was ever-present, even in his current state of exhaustion. Second Chance would not suffer for his error.
In that spirit, Adam would then defer to James on decision-making for the rest of the conversation, only speaking when asked a question or for his opinion. When the conversation came to an end and the two left the Guildhouse, the Druid would once again apologize to the Cleric for his role in this, then return to the inn if nothing else was needed from him.
There, pleasant conversation with MacKensie would cap off a productive day that had turned very bad. Perhaps the red-eyed man would have noticed her feelings of awkwardness if he was less tired. Instead, his mind was on how he would make up for his mistake. Getting to meet the Ranger's new friend would be interesting, at least.
And after the time spent with his friend, Adam went to his room and slept, hoping tomorrow wouldn't bring any more unfortunate revelations.
"Okay, okay" He took a deep breath "First off, stop thinking about running to the enemy that is just plain stupid, it's your panic speaking. Second, second" He needed a moment, just a moment "Adam, did we ever tell Lucy that the Witch Queen was interfering with communications?"
No, no they had not. And yes, the team leader was right. Upon taking a split second to reflect, Adam knew that charging into the enemy camp like that would end badly. To respond to James’ question, Adam mirrored his action and took a deep breath of his own first; he wouldn't be helpful if he was panicked the whole time. Then he formulated his response:
“No, we did not. And I doubt she knows - Lucy didn't snoop on my message to Glee despite her interest, and I'd imagine someone put in charge of the mail would have to be trustworthy.”
”We need to go. Now"

I'm the new spook in town, here to fulfill all your morally scrupulous needs!
Speaking of, I can't wait for Alison to meet the rest of the party.
Zell will be mad you're muscling in on his territory :P
Alison meeting Adam will be fun to write!
@Dark Cloud good you have a computer, internet access is important in this day and age.
Alison: don't tell anyone you're from Earth
Adam, at the orphanage: let me tell you all about Earth!
@AvaP since you're new, letting you know I'm joking. I liked your post, very nice!
@Queen Arya I can't speak for xenon, though I would recommend reading a few pages of the IC if you have not done so already to see if the characters and story interest you. I don't think past Isekai RP experience is needed (I never had any) but the characters and our GM's skillful GMing help make this story a success and you can see what you would get to be part of.
Also, I think we might have RPed together once? If so, hi again!

And with that post, I have made 100 solo posts in the roleplay!
By the way @AvaP your stuff has been nice to read and I look forward to seeing more of it! Should be interesting to see how Adam and Alison interact.

Yeah, this was bad. Adam knew he messed up, and James’ asking about it made him feel worse about it. Of course the Druid knew he wouldn't lie about it, but it still felt awful knowing that he did what he did.
“So Glee, my friend I told you about, is really incredible. We actually met the day after we first arrived here, and he taught me some things about casting, as well as introducing me to the guy who taught me shapeshifting. That was all great enough on its own for me to send the letter, of course. So when I went to do so, Lucy ended up telling me more. Turns out his group is Diamond tier and part of the Council of Heroes, who basically represent adventurers within the government. True Grade - their team's name, sorry - helped destroy a large-scale Vampire and Drow colony before they could be a threat, including their leader. They also took out a tribe of evil Cave Trolls. Their chief was arming and armoring the tribe, teaching them to use technology and magic, and trying to breed more intelligent Trolls.”
Adam sighed; it was time to fess up. “All of this is to say, Glee's party is clearly extremely strong, and I thought it would be a good idea to ask him if they could come here and help with the defense of Valheim. I didn't even think about the fact that the Witch Queen would probably read the letter until now, so the enemy knows we know when they're going to attack. Or knew, I guess, since they probably have new plans now. I'm so sorry, James.”
The red-eyed man thought for a moment, then added “maybe tomorrow morning when I get my magic back, I can sneak or use my bear form to get into their camp, and kill their general or something? Even if I die, it's better than dooming this place through my stupidity.”
Maybe if he were less exhausted and guilt-ridden, Adam would have known just how absurd that idea was. As it stood now though, he just wanted to make things right.
