@ShwiggityShwah

You're actually supposed to do that.

Or at least attempt that.
Dubious Wares And Questionable Methods
~@13org (FYR), @Rezod92~

Freyr knocked out one of the Goblins with his dagger and the remaining one was tossed out by an unexpected helper, A Beelzebub by the name of Kira Gigas.

The last Goblin noticed that her fellows have been dealt with and now she was alone with three people, two of whom are more than capable of taking her down. "Uh, oh." A moment passed before the last Goblin then leapt from the wagon, knowing that the battle was already lost. George's carriage was safe. At least, for the moment.

"You have dealt with them, Mister Freyr?" George took a glance behind and spotted Kira. "Oh? Who might you be? Well, thanks for lending help too. Sorry Mister Freyr, looks I will need to split reward. Unless she is part of guild too. Are you part of Freyr's guild?"



Black Wolf

"Heh, one more time."
Yang Bethlehem


Nero went on the defensive when you charged. He blocked your punch with the broad of his blade, shattering the weapon. He narrowly evaded your knee strike but he failed to see your ultimate attack.

The flying kick launched Nero for several feet, his breath knocked out of him. However, in mere moments he was back to his feet again. "Nice shot. I guess that's the final round. I don't think I can take another one of that." He clutched his head in pain with one hand and he was a bit wobbly, but he had survived your attack. "Why don't we have an applause to our monk here?"

At Nero's request, the crowd gave a round of claps for your victory. The duel has concluded.

------

Once the crowd had dispersed and gone, Nero invited you into his farm to have a drink. With a table and two barrel chairs, Nero poured you a cup of fine wine. "So what would you like to talk about? You know, for the reward." He said as he poured himself one. "You can say I have... a front row seat to, pretty much everything."



That's What Friends Do
~@Stern Algorithm, @ShwiggityShwah, @Restalaan (DIT), @13org (ADA)~

"But the two of you don't look that similar?"
Ditzy Stoneclub


”Make you look like Neil? Is the treasure medicine or some kind of youth potion?”
Ozzy Skyway


"I'm being metaphorical, you dunces!" Forde snapped. "I mean look at your friend over here! He looks like he hadn't worked a day in his life!" He said about Neil.

------

As the party worked in searching for the treasure map, Forde approached them looking panicked and worried. "I've got bad news, friends! There's a patrol coming and I'm pretty sure they're not gonna appreciate our work here." He said.

"Well, what're we gonna do?" Neil asked.

Forde thought for a moment before coming up with a crude but effective plan. "Alright, alright, listen here. I'm gonna take my steed and I'm gonna distract the patrol, maybe lead them to somewhere else. Gonna probably have to provoke them to chase me. But I'm a slippery fellow, they're not gonna catch me easily." He then began heading away to carry out his plan. "Meanwhile, you all just continue finding that map. I'm coming for that tomorrow, okay?"

With that, Forde was gone and the party could continue digging and desecrating the burial site. The Altissima sisters made bringing up the coffins easy while the rest checked inside them for any maps. Neil, however, noticed something odd.

"Guys, why are all these women?" Indeed, all the opened caskets contained women. Some in female clothing, some in male clothing while most had clothing too ragged to be recognized anymore. "They also seem well-preserved. Like, they just died yesterday." Some of the bodies had decayed to mere bones but most of the dug up coffins contained bodies that seemed fresh.

Suddenly, the woman Neil was checking shot her eyes open. Her arms launched forward and grabbed hold of Neil. "Ah! Guys!" Neil cried for help as the woman attempted to pull him closer to her.

The unearthed coffins burst open, its occupants emerging. They were all women with varying degrees of paleness. Zombies. It appeared the party had awakened an entire graveyard of them, some were even clawing out off the ground. They were quickly growing in number and the party was getting surrounded.

The Zombies shambled after the party. Neil had broken free of his Zombie and yelled. "Guys! Get to the church! We can hole up there!" Another Zombie had unfortunately pounced on him from behind, already kissing his neck in desperate affection. "Ack!"
Hey guys, a volcano erupted sort of nearby and now we're covered in ash so update will be delayed a bit.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
@Stern Algorithm

Forgot to add the pirate champion's pic. I've added it in the previous update. Although, he's not just a pirate champion.

@CelesteEste

The cell the scientist was in was closed so you couldn't take him yet. I've written as if you still asked him the questions and contacted Captain Cura.

@Crowvette

Please post your character at the Characters Tab. I will post the character compilation once you do so.


An opportunity presented itself! Camille managed to get a good hit in with a swing of her minigun. The pirate champion blocked but it was a weak guard. He was stunned for a moment and you did your move, leaping up to crush him with your massive beam cannon.

The champion recovered enough to narrowly evade your bold attack but Camille used the distraction for one mighty, unavoidable swing of her minigun. But the pirate made no attempt to evade, instead he slashed at Camille's weapon and sliced it into two. Her minigun had been used to block the champion's attacks enough to wear off its integrity until it was no longer able to withstand another. Camille lost her balance and crashed into the ground.

With no one else opposing him, the pirate ace turned to finish you off with one clean swing of his blade. Your weapon was too heavy to fight him in melee combat so you were good as dead. Except that the blade's swing was blocked by another, a sword that glowed with power and belonged to Hospitaller Gordian. You saw his wound just had a couple of bandages on it and he was still back in action, protecting you with his own sword.

The champion hopped back to increase distance and he and the Hospitaller appeared to go for a showdown. But then the former leapt away, one huge jump away from you and Gordian. The Knights had repelled the attackers, the surviving raiders running for the hills and abandoning their wounded fellows to be finished off. The pirate ace probably knew that, realizing he would be surrounded soon and opting to retreat alongside his fellow raiders. The battle was won.

"Miss Hyouka, are you alright?" Gordian asked, clutching his wound in lingering pain and making it weird he was the one asking that question.

You saw Camille gather her broken minigun. She stared at her sliced weapon with a sad sigh.





"You better start speaking now while you have the chance."
Vilkas


The scientist behind the reinforced glass looked up. "Who...?" He quickly pressed up to the glass in a frenzied panic. "Whatever you do! Don't break the glass! This is the only place that's safe! They can't break through the glass!" He yelled at you. "I've jammed this cell's controls so they can't open it through the control room. So please, don't break the glass!"

He turned away from you and began pacing around the cell. "We fused... we fused Swarm specimens and humans together. Hybrids. We would use the Swarm against itself." He muttered to himself but still within earshot. "But... we didn't know. We couldn't have known. That they would establish contact with... with... whatever's controlling The Swarm. What have we done? What have we done? What have we done?"

"Captain Cura? Can you listen? We have a situation! I found holding cells for Swarm aliens, the issue is, they were empty, I fear a breakout is taking place at this very moment. I found one live scientist and I am trying to get more information from him, but the situation in the room... it was..."
Vilkas


"What?! Damn it." Cura took a moment to organize her thoughts and form a plan. "Okay, here's what we'll do. We've taken out the lab's defenses so I'll be doing a sweep through this facility to find and destroy all signs of Swarm presence. Meanwhile, you take that scientist and go to the main entrance. You know, that hangar part of the lab we blew open. I'm calling for extraction to take you and the scientist to the base. We need him safe and sound as soon as poss--" The comms was suddenly cut off.

"Vilkas-san!" The ninja robot opened. "I'm at the command center and I'm seeing cameras showing Captain Cura and her forces being attacked by alien creatures. They're Swarm most likely. I'm... they're everywhere. They've killed all the scientists and they're all heading to the hangar." Jin regained her composure with a declaration. "I'm going to help Captain Cura. Jin out."

"The specimens are probably trying to take the vehicles in the hangar to escape." The scientist said, having heard the conversation. "The escape vehicles are probably already taken by them. That's why the rest are going for the hangar." He chuckled and sobbed at the same time. "Smart buggers, aren't they? They waited for the entire lab to focus all its defenses on repelling you guys before breaking out. We never saw it coming."

Captain Cura ordered you to secure the scientist and your tail could easily break open the reinforced glass. However, if you bring him then you will probably be slowed and therefore, miss all the action that was happening. On the other hand, the scientist said the aliens could not break the glass so you could leave him to fetch later. But the scientist also admired the aliens' enhanced intelligence, can they really not break the glass?





"If they're not responding, they're definitely in trouble! I'll get the suits, you keep an eye on them. Dia! The ones inside aren't saying anything. We're probably going to need the suits just in case."
Visalz


"Copy that. I'll get the suits ready." Dia responded over the comms.

You were right at the VTOL when Dross spoke over the radio. "Ah! They're opening their vehicle!" You turn around and indeed, the buggy was opening up but what happened next, neither of you could have seen coming. From the vehicle emerged not humans, but strange humanoid creatures with four arms that ended in sharp claws. Standing in two feet, they hissed and snarled and showed off their razor teeth. Their skin was... It was not skin, it was their exoskeleton. White in color and appeared quite hard. Their general appearance was eerily similar to...

"SWARM ALIENS!" Dia yelled over the comms. "Get back in the ship now!"

But Dross was next to the buggy and you saw an alien take advantage of the surprise when it managed to hack off one of Dross' arms with just one swing of its claws. The combat robot did not wince and retaliated, a blade of pure plasma emerged from the palm of her remaining hand and struck down the alien with a diagonal slash. Two more aliens faced her down and it was doubtful that she was going to survive this engagement. She was a robot though, she can take the loss.

"Go! Leave me!" Dross did her best in fighting two of the aliens with just one arm. A claw managed to rend her torso, exposing inner machinery and circuitry, but she held up. "Don't let them get the craft!"

You see two more aliens emerge from the buggy, making a beeline towards you and the VTOL. They were quick with their feet but you also saw them jittering. As if they were continuously being stung by pain. "Visalz! Get in!"
@Rezod92

I have written you in. Also, can you modify Kira's backstory a bit? She has not gotten a dagger from Gina and the guild's name is just 'The Guild'.

"I would like to avoid any needless bloodshed. Please leave us."
Freyr


The Goblins yelled back at your threat, your warning arrows not deterring them at all. They called you a 'meanie' and 'rude'. Light expletives, nothing truly demeaning. Such was the innocence of these child-like monsters.

"Gya!" The Goblin driver lost the reins to their wagon, the ropes having been cut by your well-placed arrow. But the loss of control did not exactly go in your favor, the Goblins' wagon swerved and crashed into your carriage. Fortunately, George had skill in driving and managed to keep the wagon from tumbling over, its trip uninterrupted. The hard crash, however, threw you off balance and forced your attention away from the Goblin raiders.

The Goblins' wagon was as good as down but the crash sent a few of them over to your wagon. About four of them were now on top of the cargo and had recovered. "There! Get him before he uses his stupid bow!" Before you could react, all four of them piled on you. Their petite forms belied their awesome strength. Forcing them off you was pointless, they were much stronger in physique.

"Hey you! Get the driver!" One of the Goblins on you ordered.

"Ah, okay!" The Goblin holding your left arm down got up, not knowing she had just freed that limb. Clearly, smarts were not their forte.

~@Rezod92~

It had been a long while since you had been invited to the formation of a guild by someone named Bartholomew Barker. You were supposed to go much, much earlier but matters on your side took a huge amount of time to deal with. You even almost forgot about the invitation. But all that was done now, you were ready to go to this guild.

You took off from Boreal Port, not bothering with a local commotion on the remote parts of the town, and to the location of Bart's guild. Your smooth flight was interrupted when you saw a crashed wagon on the road with several crying Goblins by it. Further up, you see a speeding wagon also with Goblins having a tussle with what appeared to be a man with the ears of a rabbit and another, older man who drove the wagon.

The Goblins were probably raiding the carriage, trying to steal its cargo. It looked like you were getting a quest pretty early.


"Camille! Pull yourself together. Can you fight? If you can, fight! If you can't...get Gordian to the medics. But whatever you do, don't do nothing!"
Hyouka


Your beam cannons laid waste to the raiders, giving much needed breathing room for the outnumbered Knights. You even took out a few of their war trucks, destroying what passengers they had. You were racking up the body count in this battle but these were robots, their deaths right now may only be temporary. Meanwhile, shots thrown your way were deflected by your forcefield and it was still holding up for now.

Initiates had come to assist the severely wounded Gordian but you see several pirates break through the Knights' line and went directly at the vulnerable Hospitaller. To fire your cannons this close to friendlies would be dangerous but fortunately, Camille had stepped up and mowed down the incoming pirates with her minigun weapon. She moved to join the Knights in returning fire at the raiders.

The battle raged, both sides incurring casualties, but you and the Knights were slowly but surely beating the pirates. Until a small green robot with a red cape emerged into the air and landed in the Knights' formation. With just a single blade, he slashed and cut and stabbed through the humans. He was taking down an alarming amount of Knights, none of whom could land a solid hit on him. He was just that good of a fighter, a champion among the pirates.

Spotting you, the green pirate leaped to slash at you but he was knocked away by Camille's minigun. The green pirate quickly recovered and closed the distance. Camille realized she was not getting the opportunity to fire and wielded her weapon in melee. The two robots clashed but it was clear who had the upper hand. Camille was receiving wounds, the cuts and slashes exposing her alloy and circuitry.

The Knights were busy dealing with the pirates, leaving you to find a way to help Camille.





"Holding cells, as I expected, they had to be doing something really nefarious to justify hiding like this. I will be going towards the holding if you don't mind, I feel I am better suited to deal with whatever is there considering my equipment. Please take care on your way to the command center."
Vilkas


"Very well, Vilkas-san. Good hunting."

------

You make your way to the holding cells of this illegal facility. A big automatic door parted to let you in the area, and you were greeted with a surprise. The area was huge and divided into two: The ground floor and the catwalk modules above. The cells themselves were average-sized rooms with reinforced glass but one block of the place was a row of large tubes that probably housed a specimen. A circular room was located at the upper end of the area filled with computers, likely the control room.

But the surprise was, there was nothing in any of the cells nor in the tubes, save for scratch marks and a bit of blood. The cells' glass covers were open and the tubes shattered. The emptiness was eerie and you feel that something had gone horribly wrong. As you explored, you soon find a closed cell in the catwalks above. Inside was a person with spiky brown hair and fair skin with a pair of glasses to hide his eyes. He wore a simple lab coat and he was in the corner cowering.

"What have we done? What have we done? What have we done? What have we done? What have we done?" The scientist repeated like a mantra.





You were in Dostrex, hanging around in one of its military bases checking out all sorts of equipment and hardware when a distress signal was received. It was apparently from an escape pod that was stranded in the middle of nowhere, and 'nowhere' in Dostrex meant volcanic wasteland. However, there was no ship orbiting Dostrex that was in danger. So where did the escape pod come from? It was an ominous signal that still needed to be answered.

A small party of three robots was assembled that included you. One of the other two robots was another Support robot with white dress-like armor and headwear with two 'ears' that look like that of a rabbit's. She was human in shape but her skin was too white to pass as one. Her name was Dia and she came packing with medical supplies for humans just in case there were any in that escape pod.

The other robot was a combat one for protection, but she did not look the part. She looked like an innocent humanoid robot that had large twintail 'hair'. Her entire body was white in paint and her face was completely robotic but still appeared cute. Her name was Dross but she did not have any weapons though. At least, she did not seem to have any weapons. Perhaps they were hidden really, really well.

Dia piloted the small VTOL aircraft and the party went off, entering the desolate landscapes of Dostrex. There was nothing of note on the way, just the usual rocks, lava and volcanoes. Sometimes there was a river of magma or a pit of bubbling molten rock but other than that, there was nothing else in this planet. At least, that was how it should be. You knew that criminals sometimes make hideouts in this planet.

The aircraft soon arrived at the escape pod's coordinates. Except that it was not an escape pod, it was a white, enclosed buggy vehicle with wheels built to traverse Dostrex's rocky terrain. It was fortunate that the vehicle was stranded in a stable area of ground so there was no rush to rescue those inside. The VTOL was also allowed to touchdown which Dia did, a few meters from the vehicle.

"I'm staying here just in case we need to take off quickly." Dia said. "If there are humans inside, tell me if they're injured and if they don't have protection against the heat, I've prepared a couple of thermal suits here. Just come get them if they need it." The Support robot briefed you and Dross.

You and Dross deployed and the scorching temperatures of the planet quickly hit you. Being a robot, your mechanical body can withstand the heat. At least for a while, staying in these temperatures would soon fry your circuitry and other smaller parts in hours. Fortunately, the area was stable so the heat was not that bad. Relatively, it was still pretty bad.

"I'm seeing several figures inside the buggy. Heat signatures too so they're human." Dross told you as the two of you made your way to the stranded vehicle. "They look cramped in there though." The combat robot reached the vehicle and began knocking. "Hey, we're here. Come to rescue you. You folks in there have any suits for the heat?" There was no response, oddly. Not verbally, nor in the comms. "Hmm, weird. Anyway, we're gonna have to assume the worst that they don't have protection against the heat. Do you wanna head back and get them or should I?"

You get a feeling this decision was going to be important.
