You return to the guild and night had fallen. None of your guildmates were there, only the silhouette of the dilapidated building.

However, you did spot a figure resting on the top of the building. If you look closely, you could discern that it was humanoid figure that had wings for arms. Being versed with monsters, you likely knew this was a Harpy or a related species. The reason for this creature being here was the first question that probably needed to be answered. Perhaps this monster one of Bart's invited or maybe this was a wild one looking for a mate.

Regardless, the Harpy figure spotted you and quickly launched into the air and dove again into the building. She probably saw that you were a knight of the Order and hid.

After getting him off you with a strike to his nether regions, your continuous swinging of your club eventually kill the large brigand. Although his body was brutalized, it was mostly still in one piece likely thanks to his large physique.

"[color=f26522]Sheolred![/color]" Bart called out to you and you see him approach you. "[color=f26522]Are you alright?! You're... alright... Man, you sure hit hard...[/color]" He panted, seeing that you have taken care of the brigands, albeit violently. "[color=f26522]So uhh, do you mind explaining to me why they just suddenly attacked us? Please don't tell me that you told them... some very unpleasant things.[/color]"

"[color=f26522]Also, our little scuffle isn't exactly quiet so the town guards will be here anytime soon.[/color]" Bart said. "[color=f26522]I'd rather make scarce rather than stay here and explain all this but I guess we can clear any misunderstanding that might arise?[/color]"

[quote=Anitta][color=lightblue]"If we must tell the dwarves anything, we tell them that we bluffed the old man that bandits roam these woods and he should leave. That his home will likely be occupied or attacked, since he is a defenseless old man in the middle of no where. Nothing more, nothing less. Let's go collect our payment."[/color][/quote]

"Alright then." Neil replied. "Lead the way."

Upon returning to the Dwarven camp, you explain how the mission went. The leader of the band of scouts nodded. "[color=0054a6]I see.
 Good job.[/color]" He said. The compliment was short but one could see that he approved of the clean and smooth work that you did. "[color=0054a6]Now then, as for the payment. Do you know the layout of your rundown guild?[/color]"

"Uhh, yeah. I've... We've mapped it out." Neil replied.

"[color=0054a6]Good. We don't exactly have much gold on us so we can't pay you that way.[/color]" The Dwarf replied which made Neil raise his eyebrow. "[color=0054a6]However, we have engineers and builders. We'll repair and refurbish your dilapidated guild building. We'll install beds and furniture and lights and anything else that you want added in the building.[/color]" He explained. "[color=0054a6]We can also add rooms or an extra floor if you'd like.[/color]"

"[color=0054a6]Do you want anything added to the building?[/color]" The Dwarf asked you. "[color=0054a6]Well, you do not have to decide now. We'll come by the guild building tomorrow and we can discuss things from there.[/color]"

[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Which path will you chose, young boy?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=fff79a]Oh gee, mister. That's really kind of you.[/color]" The boy replied, not really reacting to your words of warning. Perhaps it even just flew over his head.

"[color=fff79a]I appreciate the offer of help, mister, I really do...[/color]" The boy then explained. "[color=fff79a]But are you sure? You don't look like the fighting type and those Varjan Warriors are pretty large. Their armor is pretty thick and I've heard they've got tricks and trinkets to deal with the magic that bypasses armor.[/color]"

"[color=fff79a]But if you're really sure about coming with me, then thanks mister.[/color]"
