[b]Dubious Wares And Questionable Methods[/b] ~[@13org] (FYR), [@Rezod92]~ [quote=Kira Gigas][color=a187be]"Are you seriously suggesting that we let him go? What if this gets back to the Guild? It could really hurt our rep!"[/color][/quote] "[color=crimson]Hey no. I am professional. I protect those I employ. Is how I got far in this business.[/color]" George retorted at the Beelzebub. "[color=crimson]Look, is highly unlikely but if I get caught, I just say you were simply hired guards. Completely unrelated to my business. Or better yet, I just say you were not here at all. That way, no one suspect you. Very professional, yes?[/color]" "[color=crimson]Look, I am already paying you way beyond the original reward. I also keep your identities secret. Is that so much to ask for harmless drugs?[/color]" George had made his offer. [u]Freyr[/u] and [u]Kira[/u] had yet to reach a verdict but they must make one soon or else someone might walk upon them and get the wrong conclusions. [hr] [b]Black Wolf[/b] ~[@Restalaan] (YNG)~ [quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Sir Nero, do you think some of your own compatriots survived like you did?"[/quote] "[color=navajowhite]Yeah. I'm pretty sure a lot of us got away.[/color]" Nero replied. "[color=navajowhite]But we're scattered and no doubt growing fewer everyday.[/color]" [quote=Yang Bethlehem]"Sir Nero, I have a disciple that I'm training at the moment. In the future, I might bring her here for some supplementary training. If that's alright with you."[/quote] "[color=navajowhite]That's alright with me, sure, but just so you know I'm not a good teacher. I'm more of applying lessons learned than passing them to someone else, if you get what I'm saying.[/color]" Nero said. "[color=navajowhite]But... I'll do my best to help. Just let me know when, okay?[/color]" ------ You return to the church and with a knock on its wooden doors, Riñas the Dark Priest appeared to answer it. "[color=purple]Oh, it's you. You're that one who was looking for that retired warrior. I heard he accepted your challenge. Which was strange because when he first got here, he was asked to train the town guard which he adamantly refused saying he had sworn off violence.[/color]" "[color=purple]So, how'd your duel go? And how did you coax him into fighting you?[/color]" Riñas asked, quite curious. [hr] [b]That's What Friends Do[/b] ~[@Stern Algorithm], [@ShwiggityShwah], [@Restalaan] (DIT), [@13org] (ADA)~ Neil clicked his tongue. "I have a bad feeling about this. But let's do it." ------ ~[@Stern Algorithm], [@Restalaan] (DIT)~ The [u]Altissima sisters[/u] dug a tunnel beneath the soil of the church and cemetery grounds. The soil was not that hard, making the work of the Liliraune easy. Everything was going smoothly, at least for now. [u]Ditzy[/u] and Neil followed the sisters closely and they made good headway through the recently-dug underground. "Hmmm..." Neil began, looking back at the long tunnel that the [u]Altissima sisters[/u] made. "I'm glad that the soil's still strong enough to--" *RUMBLE* *CRASH* The party had to cover their eyes from the wave of dust that came at them. When they opened their eyes, behind them was a dozen and more Zombies. The soil was already disturbed by the rising of the undead and now, the Liliraune had hollowed out the deeper parts. The collective weight of the Zombies above was the last straw, the soil gave way under the undead monsters and right behind the party. Fortunately or unfortunately, one of the Zombies that fell was the burly Zombie holding the map. She was well-toned, short white hair and had other masculine features. She may have been male when she was buried but regardless, her height rose above the other Zombies. The fall, however, made her lose her grasp on the map and she and the other Zombies were dazed by the collapse. "Sylvia! Vivian! Dig up!" Neil yelled at the Liliraune. "Dig up now!" Neil dashed past [u]Ditzy[/u] and towards the dazed undead. He grabbed the map and dashed back. But a hand hooked to his shoulder, stopping his attempt. The arm belonged to the strong Zombie and now the others descended upon the hapless boy. Thinking quickly, Neil crumpled the map a bit and tossed it at [u]Ditzy[/u]. "Go! I'll hold them off! Go! JUST GO!" The Zombies began overwhelming Neil as he attempted to push back. Everyone knew his efforts would be fruitless, not only were the Zombies stronger than him but more were dropping from the hole. ~[@ShwiggityShwah], [@13org] (ADA)~ [u]Ada[/u] was dropped off at a safe distance from the horde while [u]Ozzy[/u] called out to the Zombies. The plan was working so far, a portion of the Zombie herd was lured away by the Owl Harpy. *RUMBLE* *CRASH* But the plan quickly went sideways when [u]Ozzy[/u] a patch of the undead Horde suddenly drop down when the soil beneath them collapsed. It did not take long for the Owl Harpy to realize that the ground giving way was because of the Altissima sisters' tunnel. The Zombies began descending into the hole and likely harassing the other guild members. There was still a portion of Zombies attempting to follow [u]Ozzy[/u], some of whom were going for [u]Ada[/u]. The situation was going downhill.
