~[@BCTheEntity], [@Silver Carrot]~ "[color=f26522]Well, that was unexpected.[/color]" Bart sighed before turning to Neil. "[color=f26522]Hey Neil, mind talking to the two? Tell them that what should be told and... to grab some shuteye for the next day? I think we all could use some rest to calm ourselves down. [u]Eilidh[/u], mind joining him? I need to be alone with [u]Mark[/u][/color]" He also told the Centaur. Neil nodded and followed the two male monsters outside along with the Siren Haley and Bart now turned to [u]Mark[/u]. "[color=f26522]Mark... Hey, I get that you're trying to save the world but... You know you can do better than that, right? I mean, I'm no people's person by a longshot but even I know that you're kiiind of being pushy. Especially when it comes to your spell... and the reputation of your allegiance.[/color]" "[color=f26522]Besides, you're part of this Guild now. You gotta learn to get along with your mates 'cause they're the only ones you can rely on when things get very real. And you don't want your back exposed to someone you know you don't trust.[/color]" Bart added. "[color=f26522]Now then, get some sleep. We have work to do tomorrow.[/color]" [hr] ~[@13org], [@The Irish Tree]~ Neil and Haley followed the two of you outside and into the camp. "Hey [u]Freyr[/u], [u]Magnus[/u]." The boy greeted you. "You really let it out back there, didn't you [u]Freyr[/u]?" He sighed. "Sure it was bad but I suppose the truth came out at least. No need to waste anymore effort keeping things and feelings concealed." Neil sighed again. "...Or I could be wrong and this will spiral out of control. Oh man, I hope I'm very, completely wrong." He chuckled sheepishly. "[color=2e3192]What I want to know is: Why did your guild master invite a freaking Order Hero while at the same time inviting monsters?[/color]" Haley was the next to speak. "[color=2e3192]Doesn't he know that the Order doesn't exactly like monsters?[/color]" "I heard that Mark was different according to Bart." Neil answered. "I mean, he did come here with a... a lizard girl." "[color=2e3192]Really? How was she? And where is she now?[/color]" "I... never really have gotten the chance to know her. I do know that she's pretty clingy to Mark so it's a little surprising that she's not with him." "[color=2e3192]Huh...[/color]" The Siren had a confused look on her face. "[color=2e3192]...I actually wanted to say that I wanna join your little guild when... all that happened.[/color]" Haley began another topic, one that surprised Neil. "[color=2e3192]I-I still want to join, you know? But... not right now. I mean, I still have things to do. I'll come back tomorrow to sort all of this out, okay?[/color]" And with that, the Siren flew away and it was time for the guild to prepare for the following day. [center][h3]---THE NEXT DAY---[/h3][/center] ~[u]Everyone[/u]~ The next morning had arrived and you all wake up to Neil and Bart looking over the request board. "[color=f26522]Oh, good morning everyone.[/color]" Bart greeted all of you. Meanwhile, Neil put up a weak smile and he looked real tired despite the day barely beginning. "It's a good thing [u]Eilidh[/u] brought some supplies or else we'd have nothing to eat." "[color=f26522]However, that means we're still a bit strapped considering supplies.[/color]" Bart proudly said. "[color=f26522]Say, how much did we earn yesterday?[/color]" {INCOME YESTERDAY} {[@13org] (FYR) & [@The Irish Tree]: 0 G} {[@BCTheEntity]: 150 G} [b]It was up to the guild members if they wish to share their reward with the guild or keep it for themselves.[/b] "[color=f26522]Here are the requests available, everybody.[/color]" Bart told everyone. "[color=f26522]Also has anyone seen Bast? I don't think I saw him here yesterday.[/color]" [center]-----MAIN QUESTS-----[/center] [hider=Love Your Neighbor]Greetings, I am Maria Corazon, a simple village girl of Sonarra. My home is in turmoil. My fellow villagers are tired from the oppression of our Varjan overlords and are brewing up a revolt. I do not want to involve my family in the conflict. So I ask this of you... Please escort my sister away from Sonarra and to Boreal Port. Come see us in the outskirts of Sonarra. Please hurry while there is still time. Posted by: Maria Corazon Neil's Comments: Sounds serious. I'm advising caution. Armed revolts can be... chaotic. Then again, it's just brewing up so it might not be very bad.[/hider] [hider=A Tempest Looms]The guards of the Shrine-Town of Eros are stretched thin so we have decided to request for help for this mission. It is not going to be very hard and we promise we will compensate you for the trouble. Come see us in the Shrine of Eros for more details. Posted by: Captain of the Shrine Guard Neil's Comments: Not much clue on who Eros is but I got a bad feeling about this one. You should be careful.[/hider] [hider=Laying The Foundations]The Dwarves I met yesterday will be coming some time today. I think someone should stay behind and... you know, entertain the guests and point them to the right direction. Posted by: Neil Neil's Comments: We haven't talked much about the additions to our building so just do your best, okay?[/hider] [center]-----SPECIAL QUESTS-----[/center] [hider=The Dragon's Dressmaker] To the newly formed Guild: How are you all faring? I have a job for a number of you, for a sum far greater than one would normally pay for one of your services. I require at least 3 women for this quest, preferably ones with taste in fashion suited in selecting fashionably dark clothing. If not...I suppose a man may do fine as well, so long as his tastes are excellent. Go to the southeast of the Tusilean Forest, and I shall guide you towards me. Posted by: A townsman of Ambran. Neil's Comments: Well we only have two women with us so one of us has to take one for the team. [/hider] [center]-----SIDE QUESTS-----[/center] [hider=Herbal Medicine] Greetings, guild people! I am Darren and I am a proud progressive, a person who sees beyond traditions to embrace clearly beneficial things for society. Right now I am trying to get the local apothecaries to adopt an anaesthetic called 'Huwana'. It is cheap to produce and pretty harmless with very little side effects. Come meet me in Ambran so we can discuss this further. Posted by: Darren Neil's Comments: Hmmm, medicine and drugs. I'm not really well-versed on the stuff but be careful anyway. [/hider] [hr] [b]Pillager[/b] ~[@13org] (BST)~ The dawn breaked but you and Absalom still continued onward to the Varjan capital. The boy did not appear tired and his cheerful demeanor still radiant as ever. However, you two then spot a camp in the horizon that bore a banner Absalom recognized. "[color=fff79a]That banner! I know that banner! It's of Lord Araghast's![/color]" The boy cried out before hastening to the camp with no hesitation. The action was questionable but you could only follow the boy and his enthusiasm. Upon arrival, the two of you were greeted by [url=https://orig00.deviantart.net/138d/f/2012/003/0/5/chaos_warrior_by_kamikazuh-d4l5ovn.jpg]a group of warriors[/url]. They were large and well-armored though if they were of the Order, they certainly did not subscribe to holy and inspiring appearances encouraged by the Order. "[color=a36209]Do you have business here?[/color]" The foremost warrior asked, his voice deep and dark. Absalom was too distracted to speak, his eyes searching the camp for his target leaving you to do the talking.
