I’ll go grab a key.”[/color] Anu zipped away, picking up an empty tankard and dropping it off behind the counter before returning with a room key. [color=ADEF0A] “3 copper for a night or buy a week for a silver and eight copper and you only pay for 6 nights. 4 copper for hot bath water if that’s you fancy. Always fixes me up when I’ve had a rough day, especially if you pick up an herbal sachet from the market. The Baby Blue sachets are so expensive since they’re a pain to kill but the medicinal qualities are amazing.”[/color] [hr][hr] [center][img]https://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQ4LmNkMDRhMy5VMmhoYldGdUozTWdTSFYwLjAAAAAA/trinigan-fg.regular.png[/img][/center] [color=Magenta]“I see.”[/color] Rania’s demeanour soften slightly at the mention of Shifter, nodding at his request.

[color=Magenta]“I just explained to another girl that she recently fled from our realm in an attempt to hide from our head warrior. If she is here, she’ll be off gambling her night away before she does on her next hunt. If for some reason you wish to curry the woman’s favor, a Bird of Paradise bloom should suit your needs. She’s quite fond of it. She grows them in her own gardens in Raltra. But if you can’t make it to the other side of the island where they grow, slay a few blue bells and you should be able to get enough of their pollen for the woman to use.”[/color] A menu popped up in front of Holly as Rania explained, [center][pre]Quest Accepted: Taking the Shot Play dice with Elywn Gage at the River Run Inn.

You can plot your machinations with my husband on the morrow. Now leave us be, preferably before more new arrivals demand our attention.”[/color] Rowina snapped impatiently, holding the door open for the new Mechanist. Winston laughed, walking over and placing a fond kiss on his wife’s temple. [color=FAAA00] “I’ll have to agree with the lady. I’m on her poor side often enough as is. Come find me in the morning if you need help with your design!”[/color] Alfor offered.

Missed shots and spells careened into the wrong duels, throwing players off balance in an ever growing pit of mayhem. A few players quickly shone through however: Wrinfell Nightbane, a thin looking marauder woman currently without a guild but nevertheless cackling as she laid waste with every blow she landed. Apollo Regalia, an officer of Heaven’s Oath and a brutal fire mage. Cecelia Tonitrus, the graceful lancer of Last Genesis eagerly knocking her opponents around. At the end of it, Ceclia placed third behind the other pair. Wrinfell quickly proved a difficult match against Cecelia, her high Stamina and Champion’s Pelt armor making it difficult to stun or disable her and the absurd rotation of self buffs and auto attack healing keeping her coming back for more. Her fight against Apollo had been absurdly close, less than 100 HP difference between them. Unfortunately, the Burning DoT ticked just before she landed her attack and the duel ended. The Arena emptied quickly after that, leaving just the three after a few minutes of congratulating the top three. [color=D5F92C] “And what a way to work off the stress!”[/color] Wrinfell boomed, her voice much louder than her stature suggested. [color=D5F92C]“That was a nasty little trick with the DoTs and the wind. If I couldn’t heal myself regularly, I think I would have been toasted. And you are a fun thing to fight Cecelia, aren’t you?”[/color] The grin she wore was wolfish as she addressed the other woman. [color=FF1700] “Cecelia was a great match. Thank goodness for Burn or I would have lost.”[/color] Apollo laughed, clapping Cecelia on the back. [color=FF1700] “You both should join Heaven’s Oath. You’d rise in the ranks pretty fast with your skill set.”[/color]
