[u]Shatter[/u] and [u]Feast's[/u] surprise assault threw the Varjans once again into disarray. Thus, they were not prepared to fight the synchronized monsters properly.

Meanwhile, the beads [u]Yang[/u] flung at the Varjan Champion was noticed and was swatted away with his sword. Of course, this meant [u]Magnus[/u] was free to deliver a powerful punch aimed at the Champion's head. The strike was powerful enough to send the Varjan flying into the ground. And thus, the fight continued but the guild members were more than capable of holding off the dioriented Varjan Warriors.

While all of that was happening, Emilio darted away into the forest only to emerge moments later with a wagon hauling a large cage. "[color=sienna]This is the wagon they used to bring me here. Now get in so we can get out of here![/color]" He yelled at the guild members. "[color=sienna]I know getting in a cage right now may be a bad idea but we've no choice, my friends![/color]"

The group successfully boarded the wagon and closed the its door and Emilio took off. However, three Varjans managed to cling onto the cage, bringing them along for the ride. Two of them were regular Varjan Warriors while the third one was the Champion himself who climbed atop the cage and used his blade to try and stab the guild members within through the cage's holes.

"[color=gray]Get the door open![/color]" The Varjan Champion ordered his two allies. One of the Varjan Warriors had the key and began working on the door while the other had a sword who was ready to defend the former should the guild members attempt anything to stop them.

All the guild members realize that fighting a Varjan Champion in a small, compact cage will not be a good time. They must prevent the door from opening while avoiding being hit by the swords being thrust from outside the cage.

[u]Bast's[/u] card trick successfully blew off all of the Brigands attacking [u]Eilidh[/u]. However, there was still an entire group of the Brigands and here came the next wave.

"[color=orange]Face this, you creeps![/color]" Gina yelled before playing her instrument accompanied with a beautiful song. In mere seconds, the Brigands all lose strength. Their weapons slip from their hands and their legs give way. They soon drop to the ground, sound asleep. "[color=orange]That takes care of that.[/color]" The Gandharva sighed.

But Gina would be proved wrong. A warrior charged [u]Bast[/u] and tackled him into the window of the farmhouse, bringing both of them inside the building and leaving the two monsters alone. Gina was about to act but she saw another threat and quickly jumped in front of [u]Eilidh[/u] "[color=f26522]Watch out![/color]" She yelled as she took a direct hit from a fireball. The two of them were blown away by the explosion. [u]Eilidh[/u] was mostly unscathed and, surprisingly, Gina was as well though unsconcious.

Once [u]Eilidh[/u] got up, she were assaulted by the armored mage, striking her in the gut with his staff before hitting her in the leg, forcing the Centaur to kneel. He then went behind [u]Eilidh[/u] and used his staff to strangle her, intending to choke the Centaur to death. "[color=mediumblue]It was all going so well! Why did you interfere?![/color]" He angrily asked. "[color=mediumblue]Why?! Where do you think you are?![/color]"

Meanwhile, [u]Bast[/u] was still a bit disoriented when he was grabbed by the collar and put against the wall.

"[color=indianred]Is it true? Is what Sindri said all true?! Are monsters all bloodthirsty and crave the flesh of men?![/color]" He demanded answers from the magician. "[color=indianred]ANSWER ME![/color]"

[quote=Ars Argento]"[color=00aeef][b]Ah, y-yes, I'm Ars. I'm Lucian's... I mean, Master Lucian has taught me... Would you happen to be Miss Riñas Chavez? I'm with the Guild to fullfill a request...[/b][/color]"[/quote]

"[color=darkmagenta]Oh, you're part of that guild now? How interesting.[/color]" The Dark Priest remarked. "[color=darkmagenta]And yes, I am Riñas Chavez and I thank you in advance for helping me out on my request.[/color]" She bowed. "[color=darkmagenta]Come. Follow me.[/color]"

"[color=darkmagenta]Like I said in the request, I just want you to patrol the abandoned parts of Boreal Port for the time being.[/color]" As a former resident of Boreal Port, you knew that there were tons of abandoned houses in the town. You knew from the port's history that Boreal Port was once under Varjo under a man named Araghast who then pillaged the port town and left, killing many of the people and driving even more away.

That was a decade or two ago but the empty houses were still left unfilled. "[color=darkmagenta]I'd also like you to take a look at the local farm. We sometimes get wild predators that raid the livestock or stray rabbits that eat the crops.[/color]" She continued as you followed her. "[color=darkmagenta]The owners are away with the merchants and left their farm to us. As a mage, I'm sure you know how to drive away these pests.[/color]"

"[color=darkmagenta]And... that's about it. Simple enough, right?[/color]" Riñas finished. "[color=darkmagenta]I doubt you'll encounter anything serious. So, do you have any questions?[/color]

If you have none, you still had another question. Which area will you do first? The abandoned houses or the farm?

[quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"We were talking about... you and.... me"[/color][/quote]

"[color=royalblue]Oh? You and me?[/color]" Wondered the seemingly unaware Siren. "[color=royalblue]Are you two talking about how good we look together?[/color]" She guessed, her eyes half closed and a seductive grin on her mouth. It was clear she was teasing you but her real feelings on the matter were well hidden.

Haley let out a small giggle. "[color=royalblue]So, what did you and Bart decide? Do we look good together?[/color]" She asked. "[color=royalblue]A rabbit and a bird. Not the most usual pairings admittedly but who cares about that right?[/color]" She then giggled again, enjoying teasing you. "[color=royalblue]I'll bet it's going to make people raise eyebrows but I'm pretty sure they'll do that since you're a male monster.[/color]"

"[color=royalblue]Oh wait. Don't tell me you guys were just talking about performance and stuff.[/color]" Haley had a thought cross her mind. "[color=royalblue]Okay, I know I haven't done much but come on! I just joined the guild like yesterday.[/color]"

[b]A Small Problem[/b]
~[@Eviledd1984], [@The Irish Tree] (NEP)~

As [u]Nephele[/u] and [u]Maria[/u] wondered on how to deal with the cockroach, the little intruder made its move.

From [u]Maria's[/u] shoulder, it launched into flight right towards the wall-bound [u]Nephele[/u]. Regardless if the Cave Dragon evaded it or not, the insect seemed content in simply landing on the bathroom wall. Did it sense [u]Nephele's[/u] fear and capitalized on it to throw off its would-be captors? Or did it simply do that out of mischief? Did the bug even think at all? The two monsters would probably never know.

However, the cockroach was now out of [u]Maria[/u] and in the open. The opportunity to catch it and end its terror was now. What shall the two monsters attempt?
