[b]Must Saviors Die?[/b] ~[@Silver Carrot] (REB), [@The Irish Tree] (MAG), [@Restalaan] (YNG), [@Zaphander]~ After [u]Magnus[/u] picked up the satchel that contained the reward, the guild group returned to their headquarters, reaching it by nightfall. [hr] [b]Faith, Hope And Love Abide[/b] ~[@13org] (BST), [@Silver Carrot] (ELD)~ [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"My dear Eilidh seem to have liked your town very much and I do wish to bring her here again with me in order to see the beautiful town and walk a bit... Because of that, I am concerned about your city's future. Even being an outsider, consider my words, as I am much more experienced than you may think."[/color][/quote] [quote=Eilidh Chiron][color=9B1436]"Honestly, I'd rather have that wizard dead than free myself, but his followers didn't need to die. None of them. I'm proud of the fact that I didn't so much as hurt any of the soldiers. The song worked. It just wasn't enough. Bast is right. Even if not everyone here wants to kill, or even to hurt, they should be taught to fight. I might be biased, coming from the Centaur clans and tribes of the grasslands, but a society than cannot attack cannot defend."[/color][/quote] Gina was unamused at the answers given to her. "[color=orange]Is this true, Valerie?[/color]" She asked the red-armored Valkyrie. "[color=orange]Do you really just have a 'warrior's heart'? Do you really just want to defend the Shrine-Town Of Eros? [/color]" Valerie attempted to respond but no words came out of her mouth. Her eyes then averted as she tried to force words out of her but alas, only silence was her reply. Though finally, she managed to say something to Gina. "[color=red]...It's still my request, Gina...[/color]" She muttered something not very relevant to the discussion. "[color=orange]...That is true. I apologize. I simply wanted to show you that we could accomplish this even without you.[/color]" Gina then returned her attention to [u]Bast[/u] and [u]Eilidh[/u]. "[color=orange]And as for you two. I'll repeat again, we are followers of Eros. We don't do fighting. We have our own ways of defending ourselves without using weapons or shedding the blood of our attackers. Actual fighting is in the realm of Ares and even they detest bloodshed.[/color]" She explained. "[color=orange]But if you so insistent in using violence to solve your problems, take care it does not spiral out of your control.[/color]" The Gandharva then sighed. "[color=orange]Valerie and I will bring all these men back to the Shrine-Town. Valerie, did you bring the reward for these two guild members?[/color]" "[color=red]Err, no.[/color]" Valerie replied sheepishly. "[color=red]Sorry.[/color]" "[color=orange]I see. Send to the guild house the reward as soon as possible, okay?[/color]" Gina ordered Valerie. "[color=orange]Regardless of our views on the matter, we still need a way to finally deal with Ravager's Rest. Why don't you two ask around your guild for any suggestions. We'll consider any that will be offered to us. We will also do the same.[/color]" Whatever the reply was to Gina's request, [u]Eilidh[/u] and [u]Bast[/u] returned to the guild afterwards and reached it by nightfall. [hr] [b]Laying The Foundations 2[/b] ~[@13org] (FYR)~ [quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"Let's go back. I just hope that doing some work will help me to clear my head..."[/color][/quote] Bart sighed. "[color=f26522]Well, if that's what you want.[/color]" The guild master gave up in trying to convince you. The two of you rejoined Haley and Talia in putting down the fences. The wooden barrier covered a lot of the grassland, allowing space for the horses and maybe more. You and the others finished by dusk and used the remaining free time resting from the endeavor. [hr] [b]A Small Problem[/b] ~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP), [@Eviledd1984]~ [quote=Maria Falena]"Is their..anything i can do for you?...Mr.Neil?"[/quote] "It's... alright, Maria..." Neil answered with a smile. "I'll... be fine... Thanks." [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"Please, consider how terrifying it is to have a small, fast flying creature buzzing about while you're nude. I doubt you'd much like it if a spider crawled from the ceiling onto your shoulder while you were reading. Same principle, really."[/b][/color][/quote] "Hehe... True..." Neil replied. "Though... aren't you... a Dragon and a, uhh, Mothwoman? Such beings like yourselves... shouldn't be afraid of... lesser creatures... like that roach or... me, for that matter." [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"You'd like to get stronger, yes? Why not ask that white haired minotaur friend of yours? Or perhaps you'd be more interested in learning magic?"[/b][/color][/quote] "Magnus?" Neil replied, uttering the name of the male Minotaur. "I... I don't know... I heard from Bart... that Magnus doesn't really... like me." He then added. "He told me... that Magnus asked... what use I am... to the guild. I... don't blame him... in asking that..." In due time, the effects of [u]Nephele's[/u] breath wore off and Neil could move again. Of course, he was still quite sluggish in his movement but the paralysis was gone. [hr] [hr] ~[@Silver Carrot] (REB & ELD), [@The Irish Tree] (MAG & NEP), [@Restalaan] (YNG), [@Zaphander], [@Eviledd1984], [@13org] (FYR & BST)~ Most of the guild have reunited at the dining table for the night's dinner. Bart was the first one to speak with a voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "[color=f26522]Another day has passed for us in The Guild.[/color]" He began. "[color=f26522]Thanks to me, Freyr, Haley and Talia. We finally have an official field where we can store our horses. Can also double as a training ground if you guys want.[/color]" He announced. "[color=f26522]However, starting from tomorrow, we must begin setting aside gold for our supplies. So while I will not stop you from taking a break every once in a while, please keep that in mind.[/color]" "[color=f26522]Now then, how fare everyone on their quests today?[/color]" The guild master then asked, eager to hear the members' stories. Meanwhile, Neil looked at [u]Nephele[/u] and [u]Maria[/u] with eyes that clearly wondered if they should share what happened with them earlier.
