[Color=82ca9d]"So how went the talks on our mining deal? Did you and Xenos strike an accord or something? Was he offensive? I'm sorry if he was, he can be...a handful at times"[/color] he said as his eyes darted over towards Xenos who was currently speaking to the quest giver. Reylan looked at him with a small bit of confusion but suddenly realized what he was talking about [color=violet]"Oh it went well I think. I managed to talk to the council after about actually getting the iron secured but they want us to clear 'The Ravine' dungeon and clear out the mines before they would bee willing to give us it."[/color] The only way to offend Reylan would be to directly insult him in some way. Chari decided to chime in after River [color=crimson]"I went monster slaying around the outskirts of the city. In fact, it was only a bit ago that I actually came back into the city."[/color] She said with a grin, looking proud of how she spent the day [color=crimson]"So tonight we're gonna tell spooky stories and spread delicious rumors right?"[/color] Her voice took on a sinister tone that matched the smirk on her lips. [color=f7976a]"Chari?!"[/color]Xenos whirled around with a gasp, clutching his chest tightly.[color=f7976a]"Spreading rumors and gossiping?! I'm disappointed! Disappointed I didn't suggest it first!"[/color]Xenos laughed and walked over to her, keeping a bit if space between them. [color=f7976a]"So Reylan, they suggested the dungeon clear? How many dungeons are on this floor again?"[/color] Aster stood quietly but contentedly, idly tapping her fingers against the pommel of her katana. It looked like a companionable group, so she was happy enough to stand quietly. Chari and Xenos were loud enough, she felt no need to add to it. [Color=82ca9d]"Four, there are four dungeons on this floor Xenos. Three of which are area dungeons and the fourth being the floor dungeon that will allow us to move onto the next area and get one step closer to beating Talrae."[/color] River turned to face Aster and smiled giving her a thumbs up [color=82ca9d]"Perfect! This'll give us a chance to practice what we spoke about on the way here. As for tackling this new dungeon...I was hoping we could get a group together tomorrow anyways. Scout it out before actually attempting it. I could attempt to use my Monster knowledge skill to gain information on what lays in wait for in so when we do tackle it head on we can have some form of strategy. I was thinking midday tomorrow we all go the the area and delve slightly in, see how far we can go and how much info we can gather at once. Between Monster Knowledge, Gathering Nodes, Dungeon Mapping and who knows what else I'm sure we could get a pretty penny for it all and that could help us get even stronger gear to [i]really[/i] tackle that dungeon after the festival."[/color] he said as he turned to face the entire group hoping they liked his plan. Reylan listened to River was considerably impressed with his line of thinking [color=violet]"I agree, gathering some information ourselves would help a lot when we finally take it on in force. We could also complete the mines quest either on the way there or on the way back. It has been up for some time so we best do it quick as possible."[/color] He of course would be going. Reylan was in charge of these people now and he wouldn't let them go into a dungeon without him. His attention turned to Xenos and Chari, their two mischief makers [color=violet]"They did."[/color] A small glare in his eyes, disapproving of gossip spreading. She looked at Xenos with a smug grin [color=crimson]"I'm sure everyone here has got some juicy information to spill..."[/color] The only information she really listened to from Rey Rey and River was about going to a dungeon though the look she and Xenos were getting from the guild-master suggested he wasn't too enthused about their gossiping [color=crimson]"Don't worry about it Rey Rey, it won't get too spicy."[/color] Her grin turning more devilish. Xenos rolled his eyes at Reylan. [color=f7976a]"Jeez, calm down [i]Rey Rey[/i]. Cute nickname by the way. Anyways, Chari's right, harmless gossip only. Cross my heart and hope to die!~"[/color] he sang. He looked around. [color=f7976a]"Who else we waiting on at this point?"[/color] He looked around and when no one said anything otherwise he shrugged and whirled back around to Watchmaster Loran. [color=f7976a]"Well, I guess that's it then sir. Do what you wish with us Watchmaster!"[/color] [/hider] [Hider=The Quest] [color=lightblue]"Thanks for coming, we really could use the help. Little known to you adventurers perhaps, underneath the grounds of Genesis City, there is a series of sewer networks and catacombs that connects to practically the entirety of the city. I've been hearing reports of strange activities recently and... I'm sending some teams down there for some investigations. Note that you are not the only adventurer group sent, I've already sent off 2 teams earlier today."[/color] [color=f7976a]"Oooooh, sounds spooky!"[/color] Xenos said excitedly. [color=f7976a]"Tell us where we're headed boss and we'll take care of all the nasties down there!"[/color] [color=cyan] Dubstepp sighed under his breath. He did not expect a whole party to come out. At least people were becoming aware of the side quests. Last time, no one decided to complete the last Loran quest. Dubstepp crossed his arms. [color=deepskyblue]"So are you paying us to rid the problem or find out about the problem? Are we expected a raise if we find the missing parties?"[/color] [/color] River smiled at Reylan nodding in agreement. [Color=82ca9d]"Yeah we'll do recon the next two days, then enjoy the festival and relax and afterwards we can make progress and potentially defeat the dungeon then do the mines quest which is three days long I believe so we may want to be stocked up."[/color] he turned around and headed towards Xenos motioning them to follow along. [Color=82ca9d]"Xeeeeen! What's going on? We just star gazing tonight or how this work?"[/color] he asked as he approached Xenos the quest giver and another adventurer looking to take the quest. [Color=82ca9d]"Names River and no need to worry tonight our party has the city well watched. So just let us know what we can do and we'll do it"[/color] (Quest Spark Notes) (- You explore the catacomb of the old sewers underneath Genesis City, it is large, it is smelly and unpleasant but the cool part is it connects to the entire city so it may have future implications) (- You find not much in terms of loot or items.) (- When you are about done searching your area, Watchmaster basically gave you an area to explore, you find a rescue a young NPC girl who seemed to have been lost down there) (- She says her name is Kyo and she doesn't know how she got there. She woke up a day or so ago and was wondering through the sewers. She seems to be having some sort of memory loss.) [/hider] [Hider=A maidens Tale] [color=orange]"Um... well..."[/color] The girl clearly looked uncomfortable and fidgety. [color=orange]"Could you show me the way out of here? I've been stuck down here since... last night I think..."[/color] Reylan admitted he was surprised to find anyone down here, let alone a young girl. [color=violet]"Sure, we'll get you out of here. Any idea on how you ended up here in the first place?"[/color] He approached with a kind smile, his voice soft as to not startle her. She reminded him a lot of his younger sister. [color=f7976a]"Oh my God! Operation Protect the Cinnamon Roll shall commence!"[/color] Xenos cut in excitedly. [color=f7976a]"I suggest we walk and talk though yeah?"[/color] Rivers eyes beamed so bright it may as well have litten up the entire sewage system [color=82ca9d]"Theres cinnamon rolls in this world?! Where?"[/color] [color=cyan] Dubstepp looked around the area. He found the girl a bit odd. Nothing was found nor suspicious. Where was the monsters? The other two parties? [color=deepskyblue] “What were you doing down here? It’s way dangerous for you to be down here.”[/color] Dubstepp scowled.[/color] Chari couldn't but feel this entire situation was a tad creepy. A girl all by herself down here with not a person or thing in sight? [color=crimson]"Let's just take the girl back to the guard for now."[/color] She spoke a little abrasively. It may be nothing, but she was getting a bad vibe from this situation. Ignoring that feeling had cost her in the past. [color=f7976a]"Chari is right! Let's get moving people, gotta job to do and we should tell the big man out there what we found!"[/color] Xenos beamed at the girl. [color=f7976a]"Then, like the responsibile aduots we are, we give her a place to stay until we find her parents ! Sound like a plan?"[/color] [Color=82ca9d]"Fine by me, besides we need to get some rest in soon if we want to do recon missions for the dungeon on the next two days before the festival."[/color] he smiled at the group as he turned towards the girl [color=82ca9d]"Names River and this here is Pepper. Dont worry you're in safe hands now"[/color] [/hider] Summary and Rewards Completed Nights watxh quest Learned of sewage system Found missing girl (Rewards: 150exp, 1 Gold, 2 Silver, D5 Copper, Watchmaster Loran's attention)
