A massive roar ripped across the town, buildings and trees shaking slightly in its wake, and the Static Charge debuff vanished. Inn [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/564x/54/7a/60/547a6026a04a544069e9ca8788cbc9ab.jpg[/img][/center] [center][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQwLmNkYzMwNC5WR2hsSUZScGNITjVJRlJ5YjI5a2IyNCwuMAAAAAAA/trinigan-fg.regular.png[/img] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjI2LmNkYzMwNC5PVG93TlNCUVRRLCwuMAAAAAAA/trinigan-fg.regular.png[/img][/center] The NPCs stilled for a moment as a mighty roar resounded in the Inn, holding for a few moments before sighing in relief, and resuming their duties. Anu nodded as he accepted the payments and rushed off to fill their orders. Nerile nodded at the calming storm outside. [color=C60DF2] “The Rathan’s a mighty beast full of lightning and fury. Always know when its here abouts when the storms so bad. Lurks in the rivers and comes out to feed on the Chitters and the Welkin and sometimes the big Maledoeons when its belly pains demand it.”[/color] Nerile shrugged as she took the coin and deposited eight room keys in front of him. They were all in poor condition, a bit dented and bent. Each one had a big wooden tag with a number between 1 and 8. [color=C60DF2] “Let me know when you’re ready for the water and which room you want it in. Anu and Drash will bring it up. Fruit will be out in a jiffy.”[/color] More people started meandering in once the storm let up and the bar filled up quickly, most people edging away from a great axe wielding guy at the end. He wore low grade armor and stared into the bar after ordering a cup of ale in a small voice. [color=C60DF2]“Don’t cause no trouble or I’ll haul you out myself.”[/color] Nervile warned him as she slammed down his cup, sloshing some of the ale onto the bar. His name was red. Guild Hall [center][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/bc/7c/25/bc7c25bdbaba4ac9e4e98140ed2a6450.jpg[/img] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQwLjY0Y2QwNC5WR2hsSUVkMWFXeGtJRWhoYkd3LC4wAAAA/trinigan-fg.regular.png[/img] [img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjI2LjY0Y2QwNC5PVG93TlNCUVRRLCwuMAAAAAAA/trinigan-fg.regular.png[/img][/center] As Cecilia ran, feeling the wind whip around her as she pushed herself faster and faster against the odds, her static charge grew and grew and grew. She stepped onto the bridge just past the first watch tower on the edge of town and the heavens opened up. In a blinding flash of white, a deafening roar, and boiling heat, lightning arced between the clouds and struck. Next to Cecelia. Half a hair to the left and Cecilia would have been struck. The small “Evade!” notice popped up and the charge restarted. The air around her still boiled for half a moment before the wind and rain whisked it away and the sharp cold returned. Another flash of lighting in the distance and another… No boom, no epic crash. Instead, a roar that shook the ground reverberated across the storm torn world and in the next flash of lightning, Cecilia could see it. A towering monster half submerged in the wide river the bridge spanned. A massive fin rose from it’s back with lightning dancing across it and the worst of the storm writhed above it. It let out another mighty roar and sank into the depths of the river. As it did, the storm lessened, the wind all but stilled and the rain slowed to a drizzle. The Static Charge notice vanished. The Guild Hall was only a few minutes past the bridge, with nothing more than a little mud hampering the journey. Unlike the rest of the town, the Guild Hall was a towering building of marble and stone but various plants still climbed it’s surface. A towering double door opened as a Player approached it and inside was as elegant as it was on the outside. A long single hall ending in a set of stairs and a full sized window overlooking the story sea greeted all those who entered, a variety of doors on the left side leading further into the building while a long counter was on the right and a few NPCs sat behind them. Two NPCs however, Dracion and Rania, stood towards the left side and seemed to be discussing something serious despite Rania’s periodic chuckling.
