Bast couldn't help but raise his eyebrow after hearing George's confession. He didn't even try to hide that fact, in fact, it was almost funny how the man said that he sold drugs, almost like if he was proud of that. That was surely an interesting development that Bast wasn't expecting. But when George mentioned the Shrine of Eros and the Ravager's Rest, Bast raised his eyebrows once more. Maybe the weird little man had indeed something interesting to say...

[color=C6DEFF]"A way to permanently solve the problem regarding Ravager's Rest and the Shrine of Eros? That sounds interesting... I wonder what is your solution..."[/color] Bast said, looking to the man as Titanica threatened the man. Bast was indeed curious, but he would simply let things play out. If Titanica killed the man, nothing could be done...

[color=C6DEFF]"Oh, it seems that my friend just gave you a chance to prove yourself to be trustworthy... It's better for you to not prove her wrong."[/color] Bast said with a chuckle.

As Eilidh approached him, she turned to her, listening her words. She did have a point. All that situation was indeed strange. George didn't seem to know who they were nor he was prepared to pay them so it wasn't that likely he was the one who contacted the guild.

[color=C6DEFF]"Indeed, my dear Eilidh... It really doesn't sound like George was the one to contact the guild... Although what he said about how to solve the problem at Ravager's Rest sounds interesting... If I'm not mistaken, you took a liking to the Shrine of Eros, am I wrong?"[/color] Bast asked with a smile.

[color=C6DEFF]"When this is all over we may even take some time to walk through the town, maybe eat something together... What do you say?"[/color] Bast asked, with a smile, waiting for her reply.

Freyr heard Ditzy's idea, nodding with a thoughtful expression. It would be too obvious if Freyr missed a shot on purpose... Maybe winning the competition should give them better chances... Maybe if he was able to talk with Saburo himself... Who knows.

[color=8dc73f]"Maybe... Maybe it's best to do as you say Ditzy... Missing a shot on purpose would look so incredibly obvious to any experienced archer..."[/color] Freyr said, taking in consideration Ditzy's idea.

[color=8dc73f]"Back in my home forest, we do have some arrows we do ourselves... Maybe he could be interested in the craftsmanship behind them. I can easily make some. Or maybe I could challenge Saburo to use my own arrows on the last challenge. I still have some made with authentic Vieran wood. It's hard to find outside of Vieran forests, but depending on the place we search for and who we talk with, we might find some as there are some merchants whom the female Viera allow to visit the forest to trade with them..."[/color] Freyr said, thinking.

But before either Freyr himself or Ditzy could think about any other plan, the signal was given and the competition was about to start.
After heading to the assigned position, Freyr was handed a bundle of the special arrows crafted by Saburo, together with a bow. The difference in size, draw weight and handling was noticeable compared with the bow Freyr used. It took a few practicing shots but after that Freyr had already adapted to that bow and corrected his aim.

Before the competition started for real though, Freyr looked around, trying to find Ditzy between the ones who were watching.

[color=8dc73f]"Try to find Saburo and ask him if he is interested in Vieran arrows."[/color] Freyr tried to say to Ditzy. He didn't knew if he would hear due to all the noise of the competition, but he hoped he would understand what he was trying to say by reading his lips.
