[b]Must Saviors Die?[/b] ~[@Silver Carrot] (REB), [@The Irish Tree] (MAG), [@Restalaan] (YNG), [@Zaphander] (SHA & FEA)~ "[color=gray]YAAARRRGHH![/color]" The Varjan Champion screamed in anger as continued to try and stab [u]Yang[/u] who had successfully taunted him and evaded his attacks. Meanwhile, [u]Shatter's[/u] sword fragments harassed the Champion. His armor prevented him from being harmed but it did distract and stumble him. Soon, the Varjan Champion lost his footing and fell off from the prison wagon. Thereby ending his threat for the time being. Over at the two remaining Varjans, [u]Magnus[/u] managed to shatter the sword of the guarding Varjan with his axe with the resulting explosion blowing the Varjan Warrior from the wagon. The keybearing Varjan was now alone and vulnerable. [u]Rebecca[/u] made her move and with one quick thrust, the Varjan Warrior was pushed off the wagon. With him gone, the wagon was finally secure. The rescue was a success! The wagon emerged out of the trees of Udor Swamp and into grasslands. The guild group would find that the sun had begun to descend. Emilio then laughed. "[color=sienna]I am free again! I will write a poem about this day![/color]" He declared. "[color=sienna]I wish I could see Carron's face when he finds out I have defeated a hundred of his men! How I have broken free of my shackles with only my mighty strength![/color]" He then laughed once more. "[color=sienna]I will not forget this, Magnus at ang mga magagandang babae. You will be rewarded. Money, tribute, slaves! Anything you want![/color]" He told the guild group. [color=sienna]"However, I must know the names of my saviors. I shall have your names be celebrated and vindicated! I will dedicate days to you once I have liberated Sonarra.[/color]" He asked. "[color=sienna]Also, how did you know I was in trouble? Are you new fighters for Sonarra's rebellion? We welcome any foreigners who would fight for our freedom. Even if you do not speak our tongue.[/color]" "[color=sienna]Also Magnus, I did not know you knew a lot of pretty women. Are they your concubines or somesuch?[/color]" He addressed [u]Magnus[/u]. "[color=sienna]Also, where is that purple girl who was with you when you rescued me the first time? What was her name again?[/color]" [hr] [b]Faith, Hope And Love Abide[/b] ~[@13org] (BST)~ [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"We are not here to hurt anyone. Nobody needs to die today. Make the right choice, warrior."[/color][/quote] "[color=indianred]You yourself should use your head too.[/color]" The Varjan retorted by reflecting your words. "[color=indianred]If I had wanted you dead, you would've been dead.[/color]" He explained. "[color=indianred]But we escaped Varjo for a reason. Still, that places horrors haunt us and I intend to lift these nightmares from my bro--[/color]" The Varjan was cut off when a quick strike sent him flying back into the window from whence the two of you came from though this time, the window along with the wall were shattered from the impact. Your savior was in the form of [url=https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/valkyriecrusade/images/5/54/Rose_Knight.png/revision/latest?cb=20141206181655]a woman in gold hair and red armor[/url]. She also had a pair of wings behind her as if she was some sort of angel. She probably was. "[color=red]Hey there. Are you alright?[/color]" She asked you with a soft, concerned voice but there was a hint of tiredness in it. "[color=red]That was a close one, wasn't it?[/color]" ~[@Silver Carrot] (ELD)~ [quote=Eilidh Chiron][color=9B1436]"Why?! To prove you wrong? We are not bloodthirsty creatures! If you rally Varjans to attack an innocent and peaceful community that posed no threat to you, under false pretenses, it's clear who the real monster is!"[/color][/quote] "[color=mediumblue]Foolish monster, did you think I did not know what we are doing?![/color]" The Arch Sorcerer replied. "[color=mediumblue]We could never be the strongest in Varjo. At any time, Joshua and his blind worshippers or Leyanne and her crazed followers could come at anytime and wipe us off the world![/color]" He explained. "[color=mediumblue]But here... Here we are strong. The people here are weak, ripe for plunder...[/color]" But then the mage would be proved wrong. He could not stop you from rising up against his hold before completely escaping. He was also not prepared when you came back and delivered double-legged buck right at his chest, sending him flying off by a few feet. "[color=mediumblue]Damn... monster...![/color]" He muttered. There was probably a few bones broken there. Suddenly, something came flying out of the farmhouse where Bast was charged into. It was the Varjan who charged your gentleman ally. The armored mage used the brief distraction to cast a quick spell that teleported both him and the other Varjan away, ending the fight abruptly and not in the way you probably expected. However, the Brigands who were with them were all still there and all still unconscious. "[color=orange]Ohhh...[/color]" You hear Gina stir. The Gandharva slowly got her torso up, a wing on her head. "[color=orange]Miss Centaur? What happened?[/color]" Taking a look around, she asked more questions. "[color=orange]Hey, where's the Varjan Archwizard? You know, the armored spellcaster?[/color]" [hr] [b]Keeping The Peace[/b] ~[@Kyun]~ "[color=darkmagenta]Very well. Follow me.[/color]" Riñas led you to your chosen destination. The farm was in the outskirts of the port town and past some abandoned buildings, making the "[color=darkmagenta]Say, how is your guild doing? Have you guys decided on a name or something? People around here only know you as 'That new guild over there'.[/color]" The Dark Priest suddenly asked. "[color=darkmagenta]Also, do you know a Centaur in your guild? She stopped by here yesterday to get treated since she had business in Varjo.[/color]" She added another question. "[color=darkmagenta]For that matter, does your guild involve itself in dangerous requests often?[/color]" You and Riñas arrive at the farm by dusk. "[color=darkmagenta]Well, we're here. Just take a look around the crops and the fields and drive off any intruders, okay?[/color]" She briefed you about your duties. "[color=darkmagenta]If you've no more questions, I'll leave you to it. I have other errands to attend to.[/color]" Riñas then left you to your job. As soon as you took one peek into the crops, you see that the place was crawling with rabbits helping themselves to the unattended field. How shall you drive them away? [hr] [b]Laying The Foundations 2[/b] ~[@13org] (FYR)~ [quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"I'm... sorry for the misunderstanding. I should have chosen my words more carefully... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable or created an awkward situation... Just... just forget about that, ok? I hope we can continue being friends and going on missions together."[/color][/quote] "[color=royalblue]Hey, it's alright. It happens.[/color]" Haley replied. "[color=royalblue]Also, I'm glad that you're glad to be doing requests with me. Whew, that was a bit of a mouthful. Good thing I'm a Siren.[/color]" She then added. "[color=royalblue]And of course we're going to continue being friends. We're in the same guild, silly. We're practically stuck together.[/color]" It was then that Bart and Talia returned and momentarily interrupted your work. "[color=f26522]Hey Freyr. Haley. How's the fence?[/color]" He asked. "[color=royalblue]It's not done yet but it's going smoothly.[/color]" Haley answered. "[color=f26522]That's good, that's good.[/color]" Bart replied before approaching you. "[color=f26522]Hey you two, me and Freyr are going to take a break for a bit since we've been at it for too long. But don't worry, we won't take too long. Don't really want to have fine ladies like you to be doing backbreaking work.[/color]" The guild master told the two monsters while wrapping an arm around you and dragging you along. "[color=lavender]Very well, Mister Bart. We shall continue constructing the fence.[/color]" Talia replied while Haley waved a wing to bid you farewell for the time being. And so, it was you and Bart again. "[color=f26522]So Freyr. How'd you and Haley go? Did you tell her or something?[/color]" [hr] [b]A Small Problem[/b] ~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP), [@Eviledd1984]~ Not even the nimble insect could escape [u]Nephele's[/u] breath attack. The cockroach was bathed in the Cave Dragon's breath and promptly dropped to the floor, unmoving and paralyzed. Despite being a small spurt of breath, the paralyzing gas spread throughout the bathroom but fortunately for [u]Maria[/u], it was thin enough to be breathed without severe effects thanks to her monstrous physiology. Meanwhile, [u]Maria[/u] managed to contain the downed bug though there was probably no reason to do so at that point considering that the cockroach will not be going anywhere anytime soon no matter how much it wanted to. In any case, the small problem had been taken care of thanks to the efforts of the two monsters. Suddenly, the bathroom doors flew open. "Hey, I heard some noises and--" Neil hastily entered the bathroom and beheld the sight before him: A Cave Dragon and a Mothwoman, both naked and fretting over a wooden bucket. Neil was probably more concerned with the naked part as his face reddened and his eyes lay upon the bare bodies of [u]Nephele[/u] and [u]Maria[/u]. "I-I-I..." Neil stumbled and stuttered, unaware that he was breathing in the paralyzing fumes of [u]Nephele[/u]. The boy never finished his sentence when the paralysis took hold, locking him into place and staring at both the naked [u]Nephele[/u] and [u]Maria[/u]. Neil's face was still red and he appeared to be trying to move but to no avail. All he could do was avert his eyes but try as he may, the two monsters were still in his sight. Now the two monsters have another problem to deal with.
