[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Oh, don't worry. I am not asking to let me in. It would be incredibly rude and disrespectful for someone to get in someone's house without their consent. I will simply stay outside the gates and take a quick look around, would that be ok?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=silver]Yes of course, sir.[/color]" The guard answered, completely oblivious to your true intentions.

[quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Oh, one more question before I go. Is there some way I can meet with Mr. and Mrs. Barensia? I would like to formally greet them. I may not hang around the city for too long, since I'm a very busy gentleman. Maybe a public event or a ball they will attend? My guess that it would be more... comfortable for both parties if we could do such in a public environment..."[/color][/quote]

"[color=silver]I-I don't know the schedules of the Barensia family and whether or not they will go to a public event. That's above our pay.[/color]" The guard replied. "[color=silver]But you can issue them an invitation to a ball or something if you'd like. I don't know if they will respond favorably though.[/color]" The guard continued. "[color=silver]Would you like me to tell them about your invitation? It would be preferable if you state the reason.[/color]"

With the information now in hand, what will be your next course of action?

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"Wait...w-wouldn't it be safer to jump off something smaller than a cliff first to test it? W-What if a wing breaks and it falls?"[/b][/color][/quote]

"[color=007236]I appreciate your concern but...[/color]" Kyle cleared his throat for the explanation. "[color=007236]The contraption needs some time in the air to gain momentum for flight. Anything lower and the contraption would land before it could even spend a minute in the air.[/color]"

[quote=Arletta Dupain][color=8882be]"You made this by yourself? With Talia's help?"[/color][/quote]

"[color=007236]Yes indeed, Miss Dupain. And once it is completed and we show what it can do, we will revolutionize the entire world![/color]" Kyle exclaimed. "[color=007236]We will be famous beyond imagination![/color]"

[quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"E-either way, do you know where we can find some Morning Light flowers?"[/b][/color][/quote]

"[color=007236]Ah yes, Morning Light flowers...[/color]" Kyle's tone gave a hint that it will not be easy retrieving the plants. "[color=007236]They're... they don't really grow around these parts. You'll have to get them from a supplier or a friend or something. They're pretty rare too so you won't be seeing them at any random store you see.[/color]" He then smiled. "[color=007236]But you look like capable people. I'm sure you will find some.[/color]"

"[color=007236]Now then, if you don't have any more questions then let's get to our businesses shall we?[/color]" Kyle declared before spotting Talia. "[color=007236]Ah, why don't you take Talia here with you? She's knows the plans and thus will know just how much we need to make that adhesive.[/color]" Kyle suddenly suggested before turning to the Cyclops. "[color=007236]It's okay, Talia. Ol' Charleston here will be just fine. Besides, you always wanted to see more of the world, right?[/color]"

Talia nodded and faced [u]Arletta[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] followed with a bow. "[color=lavender]I am Talia Bucchas and I will be in your care from now on.[/color]" The Cyclops said.

[quote=Arletta Dupain][color=8882be]"If you want to look for the flowers, I'll find some bird feathers, then."[/color][/quote]

"[color=lavender]Errm, excuse me...[/color]" Talia interjected albeit meekly. "[color=lavender]I... I suggest that we... you rest for today since you two appear very tired and roughed up. Like Mister Charleston said, you don't have to come up with the materials immediately. We can return to him some other day.[/color]" The Cyclops then noticed that [u]Arletta[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] looked a little roughed up. "[color=lavender]Also, what happened to you two? What happened before you two met me and Mister Charleston?[/color]"

You successfully charge through the incoming Brigands and with one mighty slash from your sword, Onouris Neith was struck down without resistance. The Brigands, upon seeing their boss taken down, routed and ran. The battle was over.

"Hey! Good job, Eilidh!" Ian finally arrived, late to the action. "Oh man, you were awesome! You plowed through those Brigands like they were... they were... I got nothing." The mercenary fell short of his praise. "Either way, you're awesome. Truly a shining example of the Centaur race. Except for the killing part though. Normal monsters don't really like that, you know?"

"Anyway..." Ian walked over to Onouris and placed two fingers on the neck. "...Yep, dead as driftwood. We could've gotten a better reward if he was alive but whatever." Picking up Onouris' staff, Ian gave it a twirl. "This should be good enough for evidence. You wanna get his armor? It may be cursed but it looks pretty damn good."

Ian then tossed you a small pouch. "Besides the sword, you can have that too. You're gonna need a lot of gold in the future." The mercenary said before departing. "It was nice working with you, Eilidh. Especially your boobs!"

Your quest was done. You are free to return to the guild or perhaps go somewhere else.

[quote=Rebecca St. Croix][color=edd902]"There is little love for Varjo there."[/color][/quote]

"[color=7ea7d8]Really? I have heard that the Order very much loves Varjo.[/color]" 

[quote=Rebecca St. Croix][color=edd902]"As to my business I am a member of that new Guild to the north, which received this note recently."[/color][/quote]

"[color=7ea7d8]You are from the guild? One of your members have helped escort my sister to Boreal Port a day ago.[/color]" She replied. "[color=7ea7d8]She was a woman with a horse's body. A-A Centaur, right?[/color]"

The girl read the note that you gave and gasped. "[color=7ea7d8]This. This is a very important message![/color]" She exclaimed. "[color=7ea7d8]It bears grave news for the resistance.[/color]" She looked at you with worry. "[color=7ea7d8]However grave it is, it is still important news. Thank you, Miss, for bringing this to us.[/color]"

"[color=7ea7d8]We... we do not have any gold to give you right now.[/color]" The girl said. "[color=7ea7d8]Is there... is there something else that you would want? Perhaps we can provide that.[/color]"

The trio enter Boreal Port, the smell of seawater immediately filling their noses. 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 monsters obviously amongst the population.

"[color=darkgreen]My, my, take a look at you. Will you take a look at you?[/color]" A man in a homely suit with a fancy hat suddenly greeted you from a bench. "[color=darkgreen]You three look like you've seen trouble enough for a hundred men.[/color]"

"[color=2e3192]Trouble has a way of finding us, sir.[/color]" Haley replied before anyone could.

"[color=darkgreen]Do I like the sound of that, do I ever like the sound of that.[/color]" His enthusiasm rising as he stood from his bench. "[color=darkgreen]Trouble with a capital T. That's just... capital.[/color]" He continued.

"[color=2e3192]Whatever you say, mister.[/color]"

"[color=darkgreen]Cold, tough but with a heart of gold. The adventurer sings tales of his exploits. Like... like a dog whose bone is made of wood.[/color]" 

"[color=2e3192]Wait a sec, are you the poet guy looking for help?[/color]"

"[color=darkgreen]Wait, you're from the guild? That's fantastic! You are exactly the kind of people I am looking for.[/color]" The man then extended a hand for anyone to shake. "[color=darkgreen]Oh, ah, James Saint, my good friends, at your disposal. But uh, please, don't dispose of me just yet.[/color]" He chuckled.

"[color=2e3192]So? What do you need help with?[/color]"

"[color=darkgreen]I've been sent out here to provide a little frontier spirit for the ladies back home.[/color]" Kyle began to explain. "[color=darkgreen]While I would be partaking in some of the action, first I'd like to know what life is like for adventurers like you. I don't need a comprehensive explanation. Just a reminisce of how things are and how you felt as you undertake adventures like... dungeon exploring. Or treasure hunting.[/color]"

Haley then looked at [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Ars[/u]. "[color=2e3192]I'll let you guys go first.[/color]"
