[b]Exotic Appetites[/b] ~[@BCTheEntity]~ [quote=Marxello Catchanale]'Suffice to say, humans are rather bad at governing themselves. You may keep yourself out of trouble, but others would surely seek it. Rest assured, I don't necessarily like that humans have to be governed by people in fancy castles and temples either, but if those people didn't, who would?'[/quote] "[color=6ecff6]Sounds to me like you leave a lot of your life to others.[/color]" The farmer remarked. "[color=6ecff6]A real man should be able to take care of any problem he encounters. He should be able to hold his life together without the help of others. He doesn't need nobody to look after him.[/color]" He rambled. "[color=6ecff6]If he can't then it's nobody's fault that his life's torn apart to shreds.[/color]" "[color=6ecff6]You're a knight, right? You can fight off ten men without breaking a sweat? Why are you letting some stiff-lipped geezers in fancy clothes tell you what to do? Why not beat them up and take power for yourself?

"[color=00a651]I'm just a traveler trying to get to Ambran when this fellow met me, greeted me, attacked me and tried to eat me![/color]" He continued to explain. Loudly and panicking, not to mention frustrated. "[color=00a651]I had to defend myself! I broke his damn leg so he wouldn't be able to chase me![/color]" "[color=00a651]So if you're not going to eat me, please just let me go![/color]" [hr] [b]Absence Makes The Heart Go Yonder[/b] ~[@Lucius Cypher], [@13org] (FYR & BST), [@1Charak2] (WTR)~ [quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"I'm Freyr. I'm not exactly a wererrabit, but a male Viera. I'm sorry about ooglig at you... Its just that i had never seen such a bright and beautiful plummage before, and i was curious about it and your clothes..."[/color][/quote] The Harpy monster chuckled. "[color=2e3192]Hey don't worry about it. If I didn't get people to ogle at me, I'd be a terrible Siren.[/color]" [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"We are from the guild. We're looking for Rachelle Gardner. We're here to search for her husband who got lost in the woods."[/color][/quote] "[color=2e3192]Rachelle Gardner?[/color]" The Siren repeated. "[color=2e3192]Ohhh, that Rachelle. So you're the guild she contacted to help her out. I heard you guys just started.[/color]" [quote= Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"I must compliment you on your looks, Miss...? You sure caught my attention the second i put my eyes on you. Quite extravagant style, but it suits you very well."[/color][/quote] "[color=2e3192]Name's Haley, mister. Haley Wellington.[/color]" The Siren introduced herself. "[color=2e3192]And thanks. It comes with being a Siren and all.[/color]" [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"My name is Bast. This energetic and cheerful green lady near me is Ryla, and the adorable white princess is Winter."[/color][/quote] "[color=2e3192]Winter huh?[/color]" Haley approached [u]Winter[/u] and examined her. "[color=2e3192]You sure are far from the mountains. Are you doing well under this temperature? I mean it's not hot but with that coat on, doesn't it feel like it's summer?[/color]" She asked [u]Winter[/u]. [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Oh, so Freyr caught your attention, didn't he? Go ahead, talk with him. I'm sure that he will be pleased in talking to you.

Come on, I'll take you to Rachelle Gardner.[/color]" The bird monster then began leading you into town. Though not without a word or two. "[color=2e3192]Hey, are you really from that new guild? How many are you there? Are there any interesting people there? Who's that guy who started it again? Bernie? Do you have any other requests besides this? What does your guild look like? Last I heard, it looked almost ready to fall down. How did you guys restore it? And in such short time even.[/color]" Haley bombarded the group with questions.

After that, it is only a day's travel to Boreal Port. If you have any other questions about the route I am ready to answer them."[/color][/quote] Samuel inhaled a large breath, probably to process the information you have told him. He then let out a hearty chuckle. "[color=a36209]Well, thanks for the advice you two.[/color]" He produced a small pouch and handed them to you. "[color=a36209]There, one hundred gold coins.[/color]" He then stood up and began walking out of the tavern. "[color=a36209]Again, thanks for listening to my perhaps silly request. I shall wish you good fortune in the days to come and I hope you do the same for me.[/color]" With that, Sam exited the tavern a happier man. "[color=a36209]To the great horizons![/color]" With one hundred gold coins in hand, your quest was done and you were free to return to the guild. Though, you could stay a bit and see some of Ambran. Maybe buy a thing or two with the reward or maybe some foodstuffs since there does not seem to be any back at the guild.

"[color=fff200]You be you, Magnus.[/color]" Once you get down the alley, you spot a brothel though it looked more like a whorehouse. What's the difference, really? Places like those within monster-friendly territory are usually filled with monsters but this one appeared to have human women instead of the monstrous kind. You spot one patron who was decently-dressed and likely in his late twenties. He appeared to be flirting with one of the merchandises, likely buttering her up for the course. The prostitute in question occasionally giving a giggle to satisfy her customer's ego. Or perhaps she really did appreciate the man's lines. Whatever the case, this was probably the friend the Neil-lookalike referred to earlier.
