"[color=f26522]Really? What happened to it?[/color]" Bart inquired more.

"It flew away." Neil answered that question. "Gone with the wind."

"[color=f26522]Oh? You saw the whole thing?[/color]"

Neil's face reddened a bit before replying. "Yeah. Yeah, you could say that."

[quote=Feast]"Hello Guildmaster. My name is Feast, and this eager young girl is Shatter. Please don't mind her attitude, she gets like that when she's bored. Cattiness aside she's a sweet girl."[/quote]

"[color=f26522]Oh, okay.[/color]" Bart remarked, intimidated. "[color=f26522]Th-Though, you've gotta wait until the next day for the next round of quests. And also... it doesn't guarantee killing.[/color]" He added. "[color=f26522]A-Also, do you mind telling us more about yourself? You're a newcomer, are you not?[/color]"

[quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"While your continued practice of donating to the guild is admirable, it is in the long term going to cause significant financial straits for the guild building. I suggest we impose a mandatory profit donation to the guild. While it might not be a pleasant suggestion, it will benefit everyone in the long run, especially as our name attracts more adventurers. Perhaps, 20 to 25% would be a reasonable amount, providing a quest is actually successful. A more unfavorable approach would be to charge for a quest posting fee, but that will definitely deter potential contractors away from us."[/b][/color][/quote]

"[color=f26522]Hmmm... Not a bad idea but we're not exactly hard on funds right now, you know?[/color]" Bart replied to [u]Nephele's[/u] proposal. "[color=f26522]Besides, at this pace we can sustain ourselves without needing to mandatory anything. So long as members continue sharing with us the reward money, we don't need to force anyone to give the guild their share.[/color]" The guildmaster explained. "[color=f26522]But tell you what, we'll do that in the event we run out of money.[/color]"

[quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Guildmaster Bartholomew, I've completed the request you've asked of me. It was a success, despite some unexpected complications. Sir Emilio is well and alive."[/quote]

"[color=f26522]Ah, that's good, Yang. Oh, before I forget.[/color]" Bart then announced to everyone on the table. "[color=f26522]Everyone! Meet Yang Bethlehem. She was the member that I wrote to to help out. Yang, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone else and maybe a thing or two about you?[/color]"

"[color=f26522]Anyway, sounds like that despite the dangers, you guys turned out just alright.[/color]" Bart remarked about some of the quests. "[color=f26522]However, can you guys humor your Guildmaster and uhh, tone down your quests to Varjo?[/color]" He made a strange request. One that probably piqued the attentions of everyone on the table.

Neil was the first to respond. "Why?"

"[color=f26522]Er, well. Varjo isn't exactly a nation to be messed with, you know?[/color]" Bart replied. "[color=f26522]If you guys keep returning to help the rebellion, they'll start wondering who you are which might lead them to figuring out that the guild is supporting the rebellion. If that happens, Varjo will surely come after the Guild one way or another.[/color]" He explained grimly. "[color=f26522]I don't want that to happen. I don't want everything we've worked for so far to be wiped out or stolen.[/color]" He added. "[color=f26522]And if we really irk them, Varjo might even send an entire army against us.[/color]"

"Well... if it's that bad then why not shuffle the people working for the rebellion?" Neil proposed before explaining more in detail. "In order for our members not to be identified, we can have people work on a Varjo-related quest on one day and a different group or team on some other day and then another different group on the next. That way, there will be less chance that the Varjans will realize that someone is consistently assisting the rebellion."

"[color=f26522]Hmm ...But still...[/color]" Bart was unsure of Neil's plan. "[color=f26522]What do you guys think?[/color]"

[quote=Ars Argento]"[color=00aeef][b]Cease this unlawful behavior immediately![/b][/color]"[/quote]

Your shout was heard and the two men's attentions shifted to you. Before you could say anything else, the two men stopped their feud immediately and ran away in differing directions. Ponder on why they were fighting or why they just upped and ran upon the sight of you but it was unlikely that they were coming back to resume their fight. With that, your duty in these abandoned parts were done and you returned to Riñas at the church.

"[color=darkmagenta]Oh, Mister Argento. You've returned![/color]" The Dark Priest greeted you. "[color=darkmagenta]How was your patrol? Did you run into any complications?[/color]" She asked. "[color=darkmagenta]I hope they weren't anything difficult. If you ran into any, that is.[/color]"
