~[@13org] (BST & FYR), [@Lmpkio], [@The Irish Tree] (MAG), [@Restalaan] (DIT), [@Silver Carrot] (ELD)~ The decision was made by [u]Titanica[/u] herself when she hurled the unconscious intruder far away. "Nice throw." Neil tiredly remarked. [quote=Freyr][color=8dc73f]"Haley... Are you wounded?"[/color][/quote] "[color=royalblue]Huh?![/color]" Haley replied to [u]Freyr[/u] loudly. "[color=royalblue]I-I can't hear much right now, Freyr! Just... tell me later, okay?![/color]" [quote=Titanica][b][color=00aeef]"I did."[/color][/b][/quote] [quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"S-She did blow the hole in the wall, but...s-she was just trying to defend our guild. A-and she saved Haley,"[/b][/color][/quote] "[color=f26522]I know she meant well but from what I've seen, she was perfectly capable of handling this without collateral damage.[/color]" Bart replied to [u]Magnus[/u]. "[color=f26522]And for that, you Miss need to make it up to us.[/color]" Bart returned to [u]Titanica[/u]. "[color=f26522]We are known as The Guild and I am its leader, Bartholomew Barker. Everyone else you see here are members of the guild. You have our gratitude for helping fend off those thugs.[/color]" He first introduced himself and the rest of the people there. "[color=f26522]But again, you still have damaged Guild property.[/color]" "[color=f26522]For that, we will need gold to pay for the repairs and the materials. However, it does not seem you've any money with you...[/color]" Bart trailed off. "[color=f26522]It seems you may have to work for us in order to pay us back.[/color]" The guild leader suggested. "[color=f26522]What do you say?[/color]" Neil sighed. "I knew it." Seeing through the indirect invitation and deducing that was Bart's intention all along. "[color=f26522]What is your name, stranger?[/color]" After [u]Titanica[/u] introduced herself, the Guild retired for the night. Save for Neil who waited for Yang's group while also keeping watch at the hole. The rest of the night was filled with the sounds of heavy raindrops and the occasional rumbles of thunder. [hr] ~[@Restalaan] (YNG), [@Silver Carrot] (REB)~ [quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Thanks, our quest...didn't end well. I'll have to report this to Guildmaster Bart first though. Is he still awake?"[/quote] Neil was frozen still when [u]Yang[/u] hugged him, only responding when asked the question. "U-Umm... yeah... No! He's asleep as well as... everyone else on the guild. I, uhh... stayed awake to wait for you guys." The boy said, a bit flushed from the hug. "The hole's... a long story. I guess we can talk about it later." Neil said about the hole that was once the entrance. "You guys should clean up and rest for now. With your quest not ending well and all." [center][h3]---THE NEXT DAY---[/h3][/center] ~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP)~ You woke up for the morning under cool temperatures. It had stopped raining but the dark clouds did not go away. You see Neil standing up and... wearing the clothes you found last night. He appeared to be examining it but the look on his face suggested he was actually reminiscing. "Normally, I'd be mad at you for rummaging through my stuff and finding about my secret." Neil began, knowing you were awake. "But I was... dying, to share this." He continued. "I wanted someone to know my situation. To know my predicament. Just... someone I could talk to. But I thought no one's going to believe me. So, these stuff just got to stay hidden." Neil then sat on his bed. "So... I'm not mad. Well, a bit but... I'm more glad that you actually found this. Makes this a whole lot easier." The boy sighed then chuckled. "Do you even know what you found? Do you know what all this means?" He then asked you, motioning at his strange clothes. "Do you know who these two are?" Neil continued to ask, referring to the two figures on his shirt. "Come on, Nephele. Guess." Neil had a smile on his face. A sad one but expectant to your answer. ~[@13org] (BST & FYR), [@Lmpkio] (TCA), [@The Irish Tree] (MAG), [@Restalaan] (DIT & YNG), [@Silver Carrot] (ELD & REB)~ The next morning had arrived but no sunlight permeated through the windows. The dark clouds still hung in the sky but it no rain fell from it. Not yet, at least. The lack of sunlight made the morning colder than usual and if the weather continued like this, the Guild will have to operate in cool temperatures for the rest of the day. "[color=royalblue]Good morning everyone![/color]" Haley flew across the guild hall. "[color=royalblue]We had a rough night yesterday and I couldn't hear a thing! I thought I was deaf for the rest of my life![/color]" The Siren continued happily. "[color=royalblue]Boy did I get nightmares about that! But fortunately, that isn't the case! So I still get to hear me do this![/color]" Haley then hummed a lovely tune to the guild members. {INCOME YESTERDAY} {[@The Irish Tree] (NEP): 150 G} {[@The Irish Tree] (MAG) & [@13org] (FYR): 25 G} {[@13org] (BST): 0 G} {[@Restalaan] (YNG) & [@Silver Carrot] (REB): 0 G} {[@Restalaan] (DIT) & [@Silver Carrot] (ELD): 100 G} "[color=f26522]I wonder where Neil is. He's usually the one doing this kind of thing.[/color]" Bart had the quest board on his hands. "[color=f26522]Well, whatever. Here are the quests available for today guys.[/color]" [center]-----MAIN QUESTS-----[/center] [hider=Just Business] Greetings Guild! A rather famous merchant named George has gone missing for a few days which is most unusual for him. He was last seen heading to Pravar from Ambran. Please investigate for we feel he has ran into trouble. If he is indeed, in trouble, Mr. George will pay handsomely for the rescue. Posted by: Elijah, a concerned citizen and a happy of customer of George's merchandise Neil's Comments: A merchant in trouble usually means his goods are being targeted by bandits or whatnot. If not then I've no idea if the alternative would be better or worse. [/hider] [hider=Liberation, At Any Price] Glorious Guild! We are part of the rebellion and we need your help! Our strategists have come up with a brilliant ambush for the Varjans that are reinforcing the garrison in Sonarra. However, we need more manpower for this so we ask for your help. Posted by: Felipe de Santa Anna Neil's Comments: Oh boy. More Varjo business. Go if you'd like but then I don't think Bart will be too happy about it. Maybe follow my advice about it and maybe we can make our presence there discreet? [/hider] [hider=The Great Escape] Guild! It is me again, Maria Corazon. The Order in Pravar has caught some Sonarrans who have ran away from Varjo and are transporting them back to the accursed city to gain favor from Joshua. Please rescue them and take them to Boreal Port. I will wait for you there. It is best that you wait for them on the road below Valoras Woods. Good luck! Posted by: Maria Corazon Neil's Comments: Well... More Varjan business. Although this won't take us anywhere near Varjo or any Varjans. Hopefully. I'd expect Pravarian escort though so... knight I guess? [/hider] [center]-----SIDE QUESTS-----[/center] [hider=One Man's Trash] Let us say first that we are very glad that someone out here is willing to help anyone with a request. Don't worry, we are aware of your fees and we are more than prepared and able to pay them. We are a couple of travelers and adventurers in Ambran and we'd like to get some mementos from the places we travel to. However, we are getting old and unable to acquire these mementos anymore. Meet us in Ambran so we can discuss this further. Posted by: Mr. and Mrs. Tornil Neil's Comments: I don't exactly know what kind of things travelers and adventurers usually collect. Here's to hoping you guys don't get in trouble for this. [/hider] [hider=Who Are You To Judge?] Oh, please dear sirs and ma'ams! My love has been stolen from me! She's been taken to Boreal Port. You've got to help me. I'm in a farm in the south outskirts of Ambran. You can go to me if you need more details. I beg for your help. Posted by: Jeb Blanck Neil's Comments: Could this be a kidnapping of sorts? You guys better be careful. [/hider] [center]-----ONGOING QUESTS-----[/center] [u]The Sky Is The Limit[/u] [hr] ~[@AzureKnight] (VRA & NAG), [@Lacroix]~ The destination of the Fire Demon [u]Vara[/u] and the Ice Dragon [u]Nagare[/u] was common and their reactions too were common when they saw the guild headquarters. Sure it was grand and imposing, the stone and metalwork design giving it a Dwarven feel to it, but there was one detail about the building that they could not ignore: There was a big hole into the building that did not seem to be intentional, giving a rather large peek to the hall inside. From outside, they both could see an orange-haired man holding a board and announcing something. Then a Siren landed beside him and took the board from him. It was then that the orange-haired man turned around and saw the two monsters staring at him through the hole. "[color=f26522]Oh! Hello there![/color]" He greeted them, startled. Emerging through the hole, the man continued. "[color=f26522]Uhhh, welcome to The Guild! We are a guild that accomplishes requests for people for a reward. Usually. Welcome again, ladies![/color]" He told [u]Vara[/u] and [u]Nagare[/u]. "[color=f26522]Err, don't mind the gaping hole in our building. It's a... It's a long story.[/color]" "[color=f26522]So! Can I help you ladies? Do you have a request for us to do for you?[/color]" It was then that [u]Vanessa[/u] arrived which put more pressure on the orange-haired man. "[color=f26522]Uh, hello there too![/color]" He greeted [u]Vanessa[/u]. "[color=f26522]Welcome to The Guild! Please do not mind our current appearance. This is all but a result of very unfortunate circumstances.[/color]"
