[b]The Long Road Home[/b] ~[@The Irish Tree] (NEP)~ [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"I haven't found anything yet. But, I've pulled out a few books that may shed some light. For now, Talia needs aid, and quickly."[/b][/color][/quote] Neil's face lit up at the first words. "Yeah, you're right. Talia comes first." [quote=Nephele Francine Megalos III][color=A9A9A9][b]"I can't concentrate on studies when a fellow guild-mate is suffering. Come, let's hurry to Mahigan. Do you have anything for her pain?"[/b][/color][/quote] "No, so we need to get her to Mahigan as soon as possible." Neil replied. "It's a good thing you can drive 'cause I sure can't. There aren't-- We don't use horses much anymore in my home world." He said with a laugh. ------ Mahigan was a simple, monster-friendly village. One could say it was already a Bright Green Demon Realm considering there were lots of monsters mingling with the populace. The streets were pretty crowded so the wagon had to park on a corner. "Alright. Neph, you stay here with Talia while I go look for a doctor." Neil said to you before disembarking and heading off. Neil's plan was questionable considering he was practically an alien in this place and you would be a more reasonable choice to search for medical professional. But he was already away, leaving you no choice but to look after the Cyclops. "[color=lavender]It's a good thing Neil found me, isn't it?[/color]" Talia spoke from the back. "[color=lavender]What a coincidence that he was looking for me at that time.[/color]" "[color=lavender]Also Miss Nephele, what are you wearing?[/color]" ~[@Lmpkio] (MOR)~ You were out and about on your daily life on Mahigan. Life was peaceful and quiet but you had a goal, to look for that kaiju near Boreal Port. You were going to travel there one day, perhaps this was that day, but then you found a boy in adventurer clothing looking rather lost on the village streets. When he and you made eye contact, he shyly and hesitantly approached you. "H-hey uh, can you-- can you help me out here?" The boy stuttered as he spoke. "We've got... we've got an injured friend and we're not... we don't know this place. Do you-- Do you know any doctors or apothecaries or anyone like that around here?" While you know the medical professionals in Mahigan, you yourself know how to heal. Perhaps you could help directly instead? [hr] [b]Who Are You To Judge?[/b] ~[@Lacroix]~ [quote=Vanessa Blackbourne]"[color=lime]This is no mistake, beautiful maiden! It was destiny itself that brought me to you! And now I, Lady Vanessa Blackbourne... shall bring sire Blanck back together with his missing Lenore![/color]"[/quote] You could see that the Holstaur absolutely loved your rather flowery response judging from her awed smile. "[color=lightcyan]Oh my, I've never met a Phantom before. You guys really are... what's the word again? Cool, I think?[/color]" "[color=lightcyan]Anyway, I'm not in a relationship with Jeb Blanck. I'm married to someone else.[/color]" The Holstaur corrected you. "[color=lightcyan]I wonder why he would-- Oh. Oh. I-I think I know who he's looking for.[/color]" The cow monster realized something. "[color=lightcyan]Follow me, Miss Blackbourne. Let me show you Jeb's missing Lenore.[/color]" You and the Holstaur walk to an isolated farm just outside of Boreal Port, passing by an area that appeared to be an abandoned part of the town. The Holstaur lead you to the farm's stables where there was a healthy horse of brown hide and white mane. "[color=lightcyan]Miss Blackbourne, meet Sally.[/color]" The cow monster motioned to the horse. "[color=lightcyan]Yes, it's the horse. No doubt about it.[/color]" "[color=lightcyan]This is Jeb's missing love. Me and my husband bought her from a traveling merchant when we recognized her. She was probably stolen from Jeb since you're here.[/color]" The Holstaur continued. "[color=lightcyan]Nice to know Jeb's still looking for her... I think. What are you going to do now, Miss Blackbourne?[/color]" [hr] [b]The Sky Is The Limit[/b] ~[@The Irish Tree] (MAG), [@Restalaan] (YNG)~ [quote=Magnus Eissenhoeff][color=FF5353][b]"Hey Hey, what should we call it? I-I can yell loud! Um...it flies right? S-So...what's a kind of bird. Uh...Robin? Sparrow? Alba...tross...?"[/b][/color][/quote] [quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Hmm, how about the red-crowned crane?"[/quote] "[color=007236]The 'Red-Crowned Robin'! A splendid name! Rolls of the tongue just right.[/color]" Kyle combined some of the suggestions. "[color=007236]There isn't any red in the flying machine but it's a fine name regardless.[/color]" With one big inhale, Kyle prepared. "[color=007236]Into the wild blue yonder, Magnus and Yang![/color]" With that yell, Kyle ran forward with the machine in tow and leapt to the air. "[color=007236]Ahahahahaha![/color]" The flying machine indeed flew, or at least glided, with its inventor on it. Kyle was, without a doubt, flying through the air like a proud eagle. "[color=007236]Ahahahahaha![/color]" Kyle continued laughing, likely happy that his invention was working. Then there was a sound of wood creaking and breaking. "[color=007236]Huh? Oh dear![/color]" The flying machine stopped in the air and with that, it began to fall freely to the ground. "[color=007236]Ooooooohhhhhhhh![/color]" Kyle screamed as he fell. [u]Yang[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] were too far away to be able to do something about the falling contraption. All they could do was watch Kyle and his invention fall and crash. If [u]Yang[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] go to the crash site, they would find the mangled and broken remains of the flying machine along with the equally mangled and broken corpse of Kyle Charlston. The quest was done. [u]Yang[/u] and [u]Magnus[/u] could now go back to the guild or go somewhere else if they wish. [hr] [b]Just Business[/b] ~[@Lmpkio] (TCA)~ The Ronin began slashing away the cards that had been placed by Bast, knowing little that the more he did so the more he edged closer to you. Since he paid you little mind, he did not notice you swing your powerful tail until it was too late. He was sent flying several feet away, probably with a lot of broken bones but definitely out of the fight. Eilidh had also finished off her opponent while Bast and Vară routed off the other mercenaries. George had come out of the barricade and approached the latter two, probably to thank them and by extension you. Before you could leave, you heard a voice call out to you. "[color=aba000]How... much... did he... pay you?[/color]" The Ronin asked you from the ground, barely holding onto life. ~[@Silver Carrot]~ With his evasion route blocked, the Gladiator prepared to receive your attack whether to block it or parry it. He did not anticipate the strength of your swing and his trident was sent flying, allowing you to strike him down with extreme prejudice. "[color=fff79a]How could you... proud Centaur... defend a... drug dealer...[/color]" The Gladiator muttered to you in his dying breaths before expiring truly. You see George already conversing with Bast and Vară, already thanking them, and by extension you, for saving him. Will you reveal your enemy's dying words? And get your wounds fixed in the meantime? ~[@13org] (BST), [@AzureKnight] (VRA)~ [u]Bast's[/u] skills and [u]Vară's[/u] flame magic manage to rout the attackers while Eilidh and Titanica won their duels. The small battle was essentially over. George came out of the barricade and approached [u]Bast[/u] and [u]Vară[/u]. "[color=crimson]Good! Very good! You are all very good fighters! I am lucky you came by when I needed you most.[/color]" The merchant congratulated in his thick accent. "[color=crimson]You are very weird group though. A Centaur, a Dragon, a Succubus and a gentleman? Who are you people?[/color]" "[color=crimson]Ah I know! You guys are harem with gentleman as the center.[/color]" George jumped to a conclusion. "[color=crimson]Oh, lucky you! I'd have harem too but wife will kill me.[/color]" [hr] [b]One Man's Trash[/b] ~[@13org] (FYR), [@Restalaan] (DIT), [@AzureKnight] (NAG)~ The group went with [u]Freyr's[/u] idea for him to join the competition to obtain the arrows. Going to the western outskirts of Ambran, the group found a gathering of people for an event on a clear green pasture. No doubt the aforementioned competition. There were several people dressed in Eastern garb. Some were even wearing Eastern armor. There were several haystacks painted with targets on them but none of them had arrows. Not yet anyway. [u]Freyr[/u] was allowed to participate, despite the weird looks the people there gave him. However, he and the rest of the guild run into the problem. "[color=fff79a]The arrows you will be using are finely-crafted to prevent arrow quality from affecting the competition. These are commissioned by Sir Saburo Fujikiyo and you are not allowed to take any without expressed consent from Sir Fujikiyo-- What's that? Right. Ignore the last sentence. You are strictly prohibited from taking the arrows.[/color]" This rule would prevent the guild from just taking the arrows. The guild needed another plan.
