A Tempest Looms~

"I am certain Valarie was acting with the best of intentions and while I know sometimes those can lead one astray and she should learn the consequences of her actions, they did attack us first without provocation. I realize I am an outsider in this, but perhaps I can be of help in this situation if you wouldn't mind allowing overlooking this incident. If worse comes to worst, I'll take the blame for whatever happens myself. I am partly responsible for it, after all."
The Gandharva paused, an unimpressed look on her face. "
I'm Gina by the way." She first introduced herself before addressing you.
"
And first of all, of course they will attack you first without provocation. They may be refugees from Varjo but they're still Varjans. The only life they know is violence and bloody conflict. Oh and they're refugees, Miss Dupain. They escaped from Varjo and now have nowhere to stay." Gina replied with Valerie staying quiet since she, too, knew that as truth. "
Our policy to these refugees should always be with welcoming arms and kind words. As it should be with servants of Eros."
"
While I appreciate your honesty, Miss Dupain, the fact of the matter is that you and Valerie still killed them. It matters not if they attacked first or if you take responsibility for it. Some of them died and both of you get to live. How do you think they'll react to that?" Gina added before moving back to Valerie. "
And you. You will be in the temple after you've cleaned up. Alright?" With the implied order given, Gina flew up to the sky.
Valerie then let out a tired laugh. "
Oh man, I really thought that would've been worse." She said to you. "
Hey, thanks for sticking out for me. I won't forget it. Oh and... the reward." The Valkyrie pulled out a small pouch and tossed it to you. "
Should be a hundred in there. Now then, I gotta go." Those were Valerie's last words to you before she also departed.
Your request was done for today. You were free to return to the guild or explore more of this shrine town.

"I hope you got my point, Darren. This 'Huwana' can be dangerous. You were very lucky that I reacted this way to your incense. Tell me... what is this 'Huwana' made of? And be honest."
Darren was also confused and took a while for him to formulate an answer. "
It's-it's just herbs I gathered from the forests near here. You know, Lozagon Forest and Valoras Woods and a couple from Tulisan Forest." He then sighed. "
Look, I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. Here..." He then gave Neil a small pouch. "
To make up for the trouble I seem to have caused you."
"
But hey, look on the bright side! At least you told me indirectly that I need to work on this medicine more. To make it more suitable to monsters." Without another word, Darren went back inside his apothecary and leaving you and Neil alone.
"Ah jeez, it's those kind of drugs. Never thought I'd see them here." Neil remarked before looking at you. "Well, I suppose that's that. Do you wanna head back and get some rest or do you like, wanna get something to eat or drink to wash the drug away?"

"You've done a wonderful job. Thank you."
The Dwarves raised their mugs to you with a cheer in response to your gratitude.
"Would you happen to the the guild leader?"
"
Oh, yes I am." Bart responded. Looking at you more intently, he then raised an eyebrow. "
Umm, I don't know who you are exactly, Miss. Are you here to post a request for the guild? If you are, you can just give it to me and we'll probably handle it the next day." He said, unaware of your true intentions with the guild.
"Hey Bart, I caught us something extra for dinner, two boars and a pheasant!"
"
Nice one, Magnus!" Bart gave a compliment before continuing. "
Put those in the kitchen and let's hope someone here knows how to cook them."
"I thought that i would have to drink this by myself for a second!"
"
Heh, sorry Bast. I thought you'd be gone for longer."
"
Well, well. Looks like almost everybody's here. Let's head back inside for dinner, why don't we?" Bart suggested before seeing a certain girl approaching the guild. "
Oh, looks like we have someone coming. You guys go on ahead and I'll meet with the newcomer."
The group was together. It was up to them how to spend the night with food from
Magnus and drinks from
Bast.

After a bit of traveling, you finally arrive at the guild. You were told that it was old and a bit decrepit the last time you met Bart but what you see was a fully-functional building of stone and iron. Either Bart was lying or the guild have managed to get the building back into order. The latter meaning that you were likely late to the party. Regardless of what you thought, you happen upon a group of people in front of the building.
Besides the male, non-monster Dwarves drinking about, you see a group of diverse composition talking to each other. There was a huge man with white hair and dark skin, there was a Centaur wearing a red dress, a woman with saintly-looking clothes and a gentleman with the clothes of nobility. Of course, the only person you recognized there was the man with the orange hair and the guild's founder, Bartholomew Barker.
He was also the first one to notice you and broke off from the group. "
Oh hey there! I know you, you're that Baphomet girl I met. What was your name again... Umm... Fai... Fail... Ah yes! You're Fallure! Luci Fallure!" He finally recognized you. "
Welcome to the guild! You're a little late but hey, at least you didn't get to see the sorry state of our building before today/" Looking over to the guild, he continued. "
You must be tired from your trip so let's head inside and maybe grab a bite to eat. You may also want to introduce yourself to the rest of the guild."
