Delcastle continued to smile at the exchange of gifts to the other players despite the number crunching in his head. The days earnings had nearly dried up with little to spare, and that was never good for business. Morning would come early and find the brothers ready to march. For now, the guests at the table needed to be brought into the fold. Talking time was over now. Delcastle cleared his throat to get everyones attention before speaking. When all eyes turned to him he met the gaze evenly one by one. [color=0072bc]"As you may have already guessed, Bulwar and I are familiar with this place. We are also familiar with the current floor in its entirety. Tomorrow morning we will be leaving bulls run and venturing north to the forests. We are strictly gathering materials, experience, and items. All of you are welcome to join us but we have rules."[/color] A few flicks of his wrist brought up the party menu and an invite was sent to the other others. [color=0072bc]"We are the World Walkers guild, or will be once we create it. If you want to live comfortably, join us in the morning. We will provide you with what you need to survive so long as you do as you are told. On the road you will engage no monsters even if Bulwar and me do. Watch how we fight and learn to be a part of it. He cannot protect you if you are out of position." [/color]His look was stern for such a seemingly lighthearted condition but all those gathered understood he spoke out of concern. Nobody needed to die if they followed the combat rules of the duo. [color=0072bc]"Any crafting materials found will be given to me, gold can be distributed amongst yourselves but a portion will go to Bulwar who is in charge of living expenses. I ask each of you to consider a different crafting skill so maximize market coverage. Bulwar is a blacksmith, I am an alchemist and leather worker. Rooms will be covered tonight on our dollar as a sign of good will."[/color] Delcastle drained what was left of his mug in short order and slammed the cup down on the table with a grin. [color=0072bc]"I will see you all in the morning outside the north gate."[/color] With that he rose up and found the inn keeper, purchasing a room for himself and Bulwar to share, while the others were given separate rooms. [Day 2: Morning] The sky was just starting to light up when Delcastle and Bulwar arrived at the northern gate as instructed. Both had discussed a proper route and expected monsters to find before they fell asleep, the main ones were Wolves, bears, deer, and any boars they could find. Leather and sharp claws were needed for crafting, while the deer and boars provided meats to cook on future trips. Delcastle had used up his supplies to make one more set of leather armor, all 3 players would be given their own set if they arrived, weapons would come later. Potions had been stocked up and a few lesser armor potions were given to Bulwar, while a single potion of attack was kept with Delcastle. [color=0072bc]"Today begins the adventure Bulwar. World Walkers takes its first step. Let us hope it is profitable."[/color] The lucerne rested on his shoulder comfortably as he crossed both arms over his chest, waiting for the other players he had invited the day before to arrive. If they made an appearance then they could cover twice the ground in a single day, potentially two full loops of the zone he had labeled 'the overflow'. The area was home to a couple elite bears and a few wolf dens. They would be going in a direct route across the open fields north till the forest came into view. After that, they would have to follow the random mobs on patrol of the forest to the destination. Delcastle couldnt contain his grin at the thought of riches.
