[b]A God Among Men[/b] ~[@13org] (BST)~ [quote=Bast Ragoczy][color=C6DEFF]"Regarding your question, my bloodthirsty queen, knowledge and intelligence are sharper than any sword you can ever hold, as you will find out if we meet again."[/color][/quote] "Oh, Bast." It was not Leyanne who replied to you but Joshua. "Where do you think you are?" None of the Varjans present made a move to stop you. Or move at all. They simply watched you disappear in your cloud of cards. Joshua had a small smile on his face while Leyanne... well, she had a helmet on so there was no seeing her face. ----- You arrive back at The Guild headquarters, in front of the entrance doors. Being away from Varjo so suddenly, you notice that the air was lighter and the sun shone brighter. The grasses surrounding the building looked more colorful, as if it was alive and greeting you. Even the guild building itself, in all its glory, seemed to welcome you back. The dread you felt when you first arrived in Varjo dissipated though it also did not dissipate immediately. Then the entrance doors opened and out came your guild master. "[color=f26522]Oh, Bast. You're back. Come on, head inside.[/color]" Bart was a bit startled to see you there. "[color=f26522]Uhh, how was your... personal trip? May I know where you went and what happened?[/color]" [hr] ~[@Restalaan] (DIT), [@Silver Carrot] (ELD)~ [quote=Eilidh Chiron][color=9B1436]"You uncouth savages! Get back! The nerve of asking that from a total stranger, and a guest, no less!"[/color][/quote] "[color=f7976a]Ahhhh! Horse lady doesn't want to share![/color]" One of the Goblins whined, riling up the other Goblins. "Uhhh, I think you made them angry." Neil remarked. The boy was ready to run away for his life and virginity. [quote=Ditzy Stoneclub]"Ah, this is Eilidh! And she's also part of the guild tribe, and close friends with Neil! So you need to ask her permission before playing with Neil."[/quote] "[color=f7976a]Ohhhh, they're together.[/color]" The Goblins came to a mistaken conclusion. "[color=f7976a]But can't she share him with us? We haven't had a man for weeks now![/color]" The Goblins pleaded. [quote=Ditzy Stoneclub]"But I can have sex with you all! But papa said I need to get married to someone I like."[/quote] "[color=f7976a]Ehhhh?! You can't have sex with us. You're a Hobgoblin![/color]" The Goblins replied. However, when they took a closer look to make sure they were not wrong, they discovered the truth. "[color=f7976a]Hah! He really is a boy! He's a boy Hobgoblin![/color]" The Goblins declared. They were at an uproar at the revelation. "[color=f7976a]He's a boy Hobgoblin![/color]" "[color=f7976a]How can that be?[/color]" "[color=f7976a]We can become rich if we give him to the Demon Lord.[/color]" All the Goblins instantly became quiet at the last suggestion. "[color=f7976a]You're right! We'll be super rich if we give him to the Demon Lord![/color]" All the Goblins agreed to the idea with one unified cheer. "[color=f7976a]And we can have sex with Neil in the meanwhile.[/color]" And again, all the Goblins agreed to the idea with one unified cheer. Much to Neil's horror. And so, with all eyes on [u]Ditzy[/u], [u]Eilidh[/u] and Neil, the Goblins all equipped their clubs with devious smiles on their faces. "Uhh, guys. We need to go." Neil said to his companions before he himself bolted for it. [hr] [b]Let No Man Put Asunder[/b] ~[@Restalaan] (YNG), [@Eviledd1984] (LIL & MAR), [@Silver Carrot] (REB)~ [quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Look, Miss. I really meant it when I said I wanted to help, and there's another old woman that needs it as well. So, please, just...just talk with your husband and sort it out? If he does turn out to be scum, I'll wring his balls myself, for free."[/quote] Tulip ran away screaming along with the rest of the crowd. The woman disappeared amongst the fleeing civilians, leaving the guild group alone with the incapacitated town guards. [u]Yang's[/u] gamble did not pay off. The guild members then hear a chuckle from a direction. "[color=f7976a]You must really want to find Pete if you're willing to get in trouble with the law.[/color]" It was the musician from the bar. "[color=f7976a]Congratulations on putting the final nail on the coffin for my marriage but I appreciate the amount of effort you put into it. And the scene you caused was something too.[/color]" He remarked before clearing his throat. "[color=f7976a]And for that, I think you deserve to know what happened to ol' Pete.[/color]" "[color=f7976a]Pete Turner's been dead for seventeen years. Hit his head on a table on a drunken night. The man's buried in a cemetery north of Lymeria.[/color]" The musician revealed. "[color=f7976a]Well anyway, I reckon you make yourselves scarce and not come back for awhile. Your faces are going to be plastered all over Ambran in wanted posters soon.[/color]" The musician warned the guild members. "[color=f7976a]Although if you can get yourselves a pardon letter, then just put your names in there and it'll all be golden.[/color]" The musician then left but before he left, he had one question to ask. "[color=f7976a]Why're you looking for him anyway? Are you his daughters that he left behind or something? He couldn't really settle with one woman after all.[/color]" [hr] [b]Escort Quest[/b] ~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP)~ [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"Ian, I feel its in your best interest if you let me carry you. Wouldn't want another Joyful to finally beat me with your support, after all."[/b][/color][/quote] "O-Oh, I-I meant I was rooting for you, Neph!" Ian tried to weasel his way into false innocence. "Totally. Believe me. A hundred percent." The two of you soon reach Ambran without anymore incidents. Ian did not complain much being hoisted over your shoulder. In fact, he appreciated that he did not need to walk. After you let him go, probably by dropping him into the ground, Ian gave his gratitude. "Thanks Neph! Here, let me just get your reward." He then shifted around and out came two healthy arms from his body. It appeared he just hid his arms inside his armor the entire time. "Alright then. I believe I've got a hundred and fifty for you." Ian used his healthy, existent arms to reach into his pockets and pull out a pouch. "Ah, here it is. Here you go, Neph! For a job well done." He stretched out one arm with the gold pouch for you to take. "You know, I thought for sure you were going to ask about that Joyful guy. Have you encountered creatures like that before?" [hr] ~[@13org] (FYR), [@The Irish Tree] (MAG)~ With promises made, [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] went back to the guild headquarters and reached it by dusk. Although, dark clouds have begun gathering in the sky making the day darker than it should be. On the intersection leading to the guild headquarters, the two male monsters happen upon a familiar face. "[color=lavender]Oh, you are... Freyr and Magnus... right?[/color]" Talia the Cyclops greeted with slight uncertainty about the names. "[color=lavender]Ah, forgive me. We have not talked much so I haven't really gotten to... err, [i]know[/i] you two.[/color]" "[color=lavender]You're heading back from your request, I assume?[/color]" Talia said. "[color=lavender]If so, then may I ask how was it? Was it difficult or complicated?[/color]" Her one eye then looked upwards to the dark gray clouds. "[color=lavender]Oh dear, it may be raining soon. You can tell me while we're on the way.[/color]"
