[b]Exotic Appetites[/b] ~[@Lady Selune] (SZI), [@BCTheEntity], [@Kafka Komedy] (TUE)~ It took approximately six hours for the unlikely trio to make their way towards the area where the string of disappearances happened. Whether or not they conversed with each other along the way, their little trek met no trouble whatsoever save for the occasional rider or cart that passed by them. They likely had more important problems to deal with as none of them stopped to even look at the Hero or his unusual companions. The area was filled with hills but it was largely devoid of trees, grass dominated much of the landscape. One could see the snowy mountains in the distance and the line where the green grass stopped and the white snowbegan. If one looked hard enough, the entrance to the mountains and its pass could be seen. But the mountains were not the concern here, the hills were more likely involved in the incidents. Searching the hills and plains was going to take all day but fortunately for the trio, they saw a person limping about at the base of a hill. He appeared to be a farmer from his looks complete with a straw hat. Approaching him, he immediately noticed the presence. "[color=6ecff6]Oh thank heavens! You gotta help me![/color]" "[color=6ecff6]You! Please help! Some city fella just attacked me and broke my leg![/color]" He said, quickly filling the group in. "[color=6ecff6]He broke my leg! Some city fella![/color]" He clutched his broken leg. "[color=6ecff6]Got... got kinda... creepy on me. And then he got violent.[/color]" "[color=6ecff6]He went that way. Can't have gotten far.[/color]" He motioned with his head towards the direction of the mountains. [hr] [b]Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder[/b] ~[@Lucius Cypher], [@13org] (FYR & BST)~ "Hey guys, before you head out..." Neil called for your attention. "I heard that the forest you'll be searching in is like... like really freaking large. Maybe you should see the client in Mahigan first for some details or information that can help you in your search? She might even... she might have a memento or something that you can use to track him down or something." Neil advised. "It's just advice though. You guys can just start straight up searching. Hey, maybe you'll be lucky and find him at the first step into the forest." [hr] [b]The Great Horizons[/b] ~[@Ariamis], [@Kafka Komedy] (BUN)~ [quote=Matti Virta][color=0054a6]"Could you send this to mister Bartholomew? I will be attending the third quest listed on the notice board. It seems to require tools and skills required for charting maps, which I can provide. However,"[/color][/quote] "Jesuits, we're gonna need a lot of quests to do." Neil remarked. "Sure. I'll uhh, get this to Bart." ----- Whether the two of you conversed on the way, you reach Ambran in several hours with relative ease. Only riders and wagons passed by, increasing in number the closer you got to Ambran. The town was extravagant, one more boon from becoming a full-fledged city. Wagons hauled cargo to and from the city and lots of stores lined the sides of the streets. It was clear the town was some sort of trading hub. The people were mostly human though there were some who hid in hoods while others simply looked off. Should you ask for someone named Samuel Cubbage, you will be pointed to an inn. In front of the aforementioned inn, there was a man with fair skin that wore typical traveler clothes and he was busy playing a quiet, somber song with an harmonica. In front of him were a couple of figures in concealing hoods and robes, listening to the song. The harmonica man was probably Samuel Cubbage but the listeners were still a mystery that you are free to try and uncover. [hr] [b]A Strange Tale[/b] ~[@Man Jack Frost], [@Rune_Alchemist], [@1Charak2] (LIL)~ Reaching the monster-friendly port, the smell of seawater immediately filled your nose. The town itself was quite simple and there were no buildings that stood out from the rest except for a large church that appeared to be visible from any point in Boreal Port. It was doubtful that it belonged to the Order as the coastal town was definitely accepting of monsters judging from how you have seen some Lamia children playing with some human children. But the church and its current nature was not your concern here. Though, you may want to resolve some personal issues first before tackling the quest. You also have a companion with you that you may have not noticed. ~[@The Irish Tree]~ You were not alone in your quest but it could be said that you were since your companions were concerned with the grumpy Lich to properly notice you. Regardless, you followed them to the port. Reaching the monster-friendly port, the smell of seawater immediately filled your nose. The town itself was quite simple and there were no buildings that stood out from the rest except for a large church that appeared to be visible from any point in Boreal Port. It was doubtful that it belonged to the Order as the coastal town was definitely accepting of monsters judging from how you have seen some Lamia children playing with some human children. But the church and its current nature was not your concern here. As you watch your undead (and one eldritch monster) companions conversed, you hear a voice behind you. "[color=fff200]Hello Magnus. Magnus Eissenheoff.[/color]" He uttered your name as if he knew you very well. "[color=fff200]Looks like your guild is already running into problems. And it's the first day.[/color]" He remarked as the two of you watched your companions. The man had a face that oddly reminded you of Neil except he looked older and his hair was a pale yellow along with his eyes. His clothes was reminiscent of some sort of priest, white robes and all. "[color=fff200]I never expected that you people would take my request. But there's really nothing I can do about that, right?"[/color]" [hr] ~[@Norschtalen], [@1Charak2] (WTR), [@Lady Selune] (JEZ)~ [quote=Jezamine Dahlia]"My apologies for being late. Sorry everyone! Hello! I'm Jezamine, but you can all call me Jez."[/quote] "Oh, hello Jasmine!" The boy you heard was Neil responded to you. You could see he was a little panicked about meeting you but he forded on. "Yeah, you're a... you're a little late. Actually, some of them are already doing requests. Uhh, but you can... but you can meet them later once they're done. Well... if they come back." He explained. ----- "Well, guys. There's only one quest that's untaken." Neil addressed the rest who were left behind. "That's uhh, that's 'Fetch Quest'. I-I don't blame you for not wanting to take it. He... The client sounds weird." He said. "As for me... Well, I guess I'll just stay here to wait for Bart. Maybe-Maybe map out the place while at it." Neil continued. "Or maybe not. We'll see."
