Jeez, took ya long enough."[/color][/b][/center] As most of the players moved into and throughout the town of Bellview, they were hit with a roadblock. The barracks, where their tutorial quest completion arrow was guiding them, was mobbed with players and NPCs of all kinds, and entering it willy-nilly was grounds for a guardsman beat-down. Still, some of the clever players found a way in. Vesper, the Fae ranger, was guided in by one of the many guards found about town. If the tall blonde guardswoman was one for words, it would have been obvious she was happy to do it. Bellview was in dire need of more hands to take on quests, and any adventurers that simply asked a way in would find one. Neres, another Fae, would find her way in by screaming in the middle of a shopping plaza for aid. Many passerbys stared at her tussled clothes and hair and simply laughed in her face. Even some of the town guides and guardsman, whose job it was to lead players into the barracks, jeered at her and turned away. The guild didn't need such... low-level troublemakers! After some time, an unscrupulous looking guide approached the woman. [b]"I'll get you in, but yer gonna owe me."[/b] Ukkonen, already a semi-infamous [s]rouge[/s] rogue, explored the town with an eye and ear out for the things that interested him most: getting into the barracks to turn in his quest, and any sign of how to advance his class. It wasn't long until he heard the commotion of Neres shouting. A quick peek in that direction, and he might have just found two leads at once. Lothair, for his part, was also one of the clever players to ask around the guildhall and find a guard to lead them in. The guardsman looked Lothair up and down for a moment before he nodded. [b]"Sure, you look capable enough. Follow me."[/b] With that, the guard hefted his spear and started off toward the barracks. He made some light conversation as they traveled, but it wasn't far. [url=https://thumbs.gfycat.com/FluidMatureHippopotamus-size_restricted.gif]The inside of the barracks[/url], though one of the four had briefly seen it already, was made of brick and stone. It might have been called 'cozy' if the tensions within weren't running high. There were guardsman pacing about, some chatting nervously, but some not bothered at all by whatever had their comrades disturbed. A few of the guardsman recognized Neres and gave her the stink eye, but didn't try to throw her out again. [b]"Tu's office is right at the end of the hall,"[/b] the guardswoman said to Vesper and the group at large, [b]"Good luck."[/b] With that, she and the other two guides exited the barracks, leaving the players alone to venture down the hallway. Once inside, Tu Tuari Al herself - identified by those that still had their quest arrows turned on - leaned against her desk. She had a sly grin on her face as she sized the group up. [color=wheat]"Finally! Do ya know how hard it's been to find good help these days? Here, gimmie those jellies ya should have brought and take one of those."[/color] She gestured to a pile of [url=http://i.imgur.com/DN8UNiM.png]little badges[/url] on her desk. They were barely an inch (2.5cm) across, and somehow clipped easily onto any kind of armor should the players want to display them. Upon entering the inventory, the badges were named: [i][b]Tutorial Completion Badge[/b]![/i] [color=wheat]"Slimes might have big health pools, but they're easy pickings. I need people I think can handle an actual fight. We've had a bit of a... [i]wolf[/i] problem recently. If you complete this quest, come back and we'll talk. By the way, those badges should get ya back into the barracks with no problem."[/color] [center][color=powderblue][b]"Wolf Problem"[/b] _______________ [sup]You have been tasked with slaying 5 wolves of any kind by [b]Tu Tauri Al[/b]. Upon completion, players will be awarded: 75 XP, 40 copper, and [b]Wolf Pelt Cloak.[/b] [/sup][/color][/center] [color=wheat]"Got it? Good. Any questions, ask Fumb out front. [url=https://epic7x.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/guard-full.png]Big armored guy[/url], can't miss 'im. Break a leg out there."[/color] And just as quickly as they were ushered in, the players were sent back out. Tu was the quest giver, certainly, but she had no time for greenhorns. Fumb and the rest of the guardsmen would take care of them.
