With the Brigand surprised by the sudden detachment of your head, you, or rather your body, repulse and remove the startled Brigand and successfully recover.

"[color=red]Ah! Miss Dupain! Are you alright?![/color]" Valerie cried as she picked up your disembodied head. However, both your Valkyrie friend and the Mounted Brigand enemies had to pause when you delivered your... accented taunt. "[color=red]M-Miss Dupain...?[/color]" It was clear that Valerie was, not at all, expecting that. After all, you gave a very different impression upon meeting her.

But the Mounted Brigands renewed their charge with a war cry, alerting Valerie back into the fight. Two of the Brigands dismounted their horses and surrounded your battle-ready body. With shields and axes, they were unafraid of the headless fighter before them. One of them took the initiative and attacked, his axe craving your blood.

Meanwhile, another three of the Mounted Brigands got off their horses to face Valerie who held your head. Moving your head to one hand, she used her remaining hand to brandish a sword. But on closer look, you notice that the Valkyrie's blade was red in color and radiated demonic energy. It was then you knew that the sword was of Demon Realm Silver and it would never harm anyone so long as the current Demon Lord reigned. "[color=red]Hold on, Miss Dupain. This is going to be rough.[/color]"

Valerie entered combat against the three of the Brigands. Despite being outnumbered, she held her own quite well but keeping your head safe deprived her of a helpful second arm. She was fighting a losing battle, already receiving a few close calls.

To return your head to your body, it would need effort on your part.

The Dark Priest lightly chuckled. "[color=92278f]Of course. Never underestimate the combat prowess of the mighty Centaurs.[/color]"

[quote=Eilidh Chiron][color=9B1436]"It still hurts yet it is only pain, and pain is natural and good. And yes, I am from the Guild, and we are in dire need of any supplies you can spare, so we are very thankful to you for this generous reward. I also apologize for my colleague's rudeness, whoever he was."[/color][/quote]

"[color=92278f]Well, I believe his name was Bast something.[/color]" The Dark Priest said. "[color=92278f]Honestly, I don't understand the hostility. I know that the Church Of The Fallen God isn't for everyone but goodness.[/color]"

"[color=92278f]Speaking of men, are there any more men in your guild?[/color]" She then asked with an honestly curious look on her face. "[color=92278f]Are they good looking? Are you in a relationship with one of them?[/color]" The Dark Priest began her prodding. "[color=92278f]If not, is there someone there you've eyes on? Oh, don't tell me... you are the one being chased! It would not be surprising. You have a beautiful figure and there are men that look for strong types, you know?[/color]"

Since you were now healed completely, you had a convenient excuse not to continue this talk any further.

You were invited by Bartholomew Barker to his idea of a guild and so you came. Arriving at the guild at nighttime, you find that the headquarters was a structure of stone and metal almost as if it were built by the Dwarven race. Speaking of Dwarves, you see them hanging out about outside the building. Moreover, you see your inviter, Bart, talking to what appeared to be a gentleman and a large male with brown skin and white hair.

Seeing you, Bart immediately approached you. "[color=f26522]Hey there! I know you! You're uhh, you're... Hans! Yes that's it. Hans Weber[/color]" He took a moment to recognize you. "[color=f26522]Welcome to the guild, friend. You're a little late actually since the guild started a couple of days ago but that's okay since now, you don't get to see the sorry state of our building then.[/color]" He patted you on the back.

"[color=f26522]Thanks to Neil getting a favor from the Dwarves, we've gotten the building back in order. No more sleeping in tents as if we were just camping. Hey, don't tell me this was part of your plan and you came late intentionally.[/color]" Bart jested with a laugh. "[color=f26522]Anyway, welcome to the guild.[/color]"
