AlmalthiaSorry guys, I'm still here, but I cut a chunk off my finger last week and it's a little hard to type while it's healing. I'll try to get something out soon, but keep in mind that I don't get the stitches out until sunday.

Good news, I'm not failing out of my cooking course tomorrow! Bad news, it's only because I nearly sliced a chunk off my finger practicing for it and needed stitches.

It's days like today that I truly believe this ADHD is both a blessing AND a curse.

Think I'll try to make a post so Ren and Mari can finally get to school, after seven months of what I'm assuming is some kind of horrible timeloop of constant running and reintroducing themselves, Amatsun and Oryun occasionally fading in and back out again whenever Ren tries to introduce them.
@Euphonium
Yeah, thanks. Also sorry. I think I was thinking of just waiting for the actual school scene to start, but then I started my course and got pretty much completely buried.

Welllll, it took a while, and a few lost posts along with all that, but I'm finally finished on my post. I wanted to make parts of it a bit longer, but it's really late now, and I'm already waaay too sleep deprived to do anything other than fall asleep immediately right now.

KAITO
As his two new companions set off to take care of their own tasks, Kai turned his gaze back to his desk, a particularly foul expression on his face. For the next minute or so, he continued to glare at the piece of furniture as if it were the devil himself. However, he eventually sighed and trudged over to take a seat, pulling a pile of blank sheets of paper. He mentally thanked god for the existence of the logistics skill, otherwise the task ahead of him would have been significantly longer and more mind numbing.
And so he began his arduous task, creating a small poster that he would have posted on the many, many noticeboards scattered throughout the fortress. On this poster were the time and location of a speech he would be giving in regards to the future of the guild, and while he would save the details for the speech itself, he stressed the importance that every member of the guild attend. Also that it was mandatory to do so, just in case someone decided to be lazy or that they were just 'too cool for school'... And then he started copying it. Thankfully, a feature of the logistics skill allowed him to do this in a kind of autopilot mode, so while he couldn't really do anything else while he wrote, he didn't have to put any thought into it and could focus on other things, and it would only take a fraction of the time.
So with the expansive size of the fortress, it would only take... oh, six hours... maybe seven?
God this was gonna suck.
It was after somewhere around the fifty-seventh poster (nohewasntcounting) that he came up with a devilishly good idea, a roguish grin growing over his face as he chuckled to himself. With a little more effort than he'd expected to need, Kai broke the autoscribing his hands had been locked into, and instead used them to summon six phantasmal soldiers.
"Ok guys, time to get down to business!" He said to the phantoms. "I need you all to start copying down these posters. Once you're done, deliver one to each of the forts noticeboards. This is extremely important, so I need you to take as much care as physically possible."
As one, the phantom suits of armour saluted and began to write. He was a little nervous about whether they'd actually reach the same level of quality as him, but a quick check showed that they were thankfully capable of copying the poster right down to his handwriting. Even if they'd work at about a quarter of his own speed.
Still, the point was that he had freed himself of his awful paperwork prison, and was ready to move on to whatever he wanted!
After a moment of trying and failing to come up with something funner to do, Kai sighed, shuffled back to his seat, and began working on his upcoming speech.
ASTRA
As Astra lead Indiana to Edenkyte's mine, she noticed that he seemed to be fidgeting about and making odd noises and grunts for seemingly no reason. Normally, she likely wouldn't have cared, but they corridors they were travelling through were beginning to get more and more populated, and while she supposed he did look somewhat monstrous, draconic humanoids such as him were decidedly rare within the fortress, and the way he was acting was beginning to draw the attention of the other inhabitants.
"If possible, I would suggest you attempt to cease your odd behaviour." She said to the dragonborn, continuing to stare forwards as she spoke. "The soldiers will not attack you while I am accompanying you, but showing excessive agitation around them may arouse their suspicion."
She took another turn, leading Indiana down a large staircase. As they descended, the walls began to appear rougher and rougher, until it was clear that it was now the original, unaltered stone beneath the mountain. All around them were orcs, half-orcs, goblins, drow, and all manner of races generally considered monstrous or evil. There were even a few duergar! And while there had been similarly large numbers of these races in the upper levels of the fortress, the armour of the ones working down here seemed significantly lower in quality, if they even wore armour at all! Many of them merely wore tunics and the like.
Astra continued to lead Indy through a series of rough-hewn corridors, until they eventually reached another, far cleaner looking cavern. This one, unlike much of what they had passed on the lower levels, had clearly had a significant level of work put into it, and looked more like a room one might have seen in the higher levels than the lower ones. And, of course, it was filled with various kinds of forges and workbenches.
"This is the workshop." Astra explained, as if it wasn't completely obvious. "You will likely spend a majority of your time in here. The probability that we lack certain equipment you may need is low, but you may inform Master Danongorf if you require something we do not have."
And then she was off again, but thankfully, it was not a long walk, and they soon reached a great pit in the earth. Extending downwards almost further than the eye could see, the sides of the pit were lined with scaffolding and elevators, as members of all the races the pair had passed before stood on the platforms digging into the sides. As they approached, Astra stepped on to one of the elevators, waited for Indy to make it on with her, and then pulled a lever to send the elevator slowly down into the depths of the earth.
"This is the mine. As of recently, Edenkyte's miners have documented an unusually high variety of ores for a single location, many of which have magical properties. Judging from the surrounding environment, I have determined there is a ninety three percent chance that the presence of these magical ores are linked to the underground forest Sir Leidos and Lady Shinon have been sent to. You may ask me any questions you may have during our descent."
LEIDOS
"A pleasure to meet you, Lady Shinon." Leidos said, giving the huntress a shallow bow. "If you would, please follow me. The forest isn't far from here."
Much like Astra, Leidos turned to lead Shinon through the many halls and corridors of the fortress. However, where as she and Indiana had descended into the bowels of the citadel, Leidos seemed to lead the archer higher and higher. Outside the windows, one could see that they were now quite a bit higher above ground level than they had been just ten minutes ago.
And yet the snow-capped peaks of the mountain still loomed over them. In fact, it seemed like it was looming even more now, as it became clear that the hall they were walking down was leading towards the mountain itself. After only a few minutes, they reached what appeared to be a small gatehouse. A pair of orcs stood guard at the gate, hands gripped tightly around their halberds as they stared wearily at Shinon. However, a nod from Leidos prompted them to action, and they opened the gate to reveal stark white snow.
Leidos gestured to Shinon to continue following him, and he led her down a cave that was only a short distance from the gate. They continued down this way for a little while longer, the only light coming from a number of glowing crystals planted into the tunnels walls, before they eventually reached another gatehouse. Unlike the other though, this one was far more intimidating, and clearly more effort had gone into making this a defendable location than with the previous. Even the guards, of which there were many more, looked more intimidating, and one especially large orc approached the pair and bowed.
"Captain Leidos, have you come to continue your scouting mission in the forest?"
"I have." Leidos replied, before gesturing towards Shinon. "This is Lady Shinon, a guest of Lord Danongorf. She has offered her skills as a huntress to our scouting efforts, so treat her as you would an officer, understood?"
"Yes Captain." The guard said simply, before motioning to another guard on a platform above them.
As the other guard responded, the gate fell to reveal it was actually a massive, stone drawbridge. And behind it...
Well, behind it was a cavern filled with giant bio luminescent mushrooms, that could only be described as 'scarily enormous'. When Kai had first seen it back when all this had just been a game, he had remarked to the other guild members that it could easily be its own region, and maybe it was even intended to be! It was like it spread all the way beneath the entire mountain range, possibly even further, and it seemed to have a number of different levels, extending deep into the earth.
"So, welcome to the Forest, Lady Shinnon." Leidos said, not quite able to keep the child-like wonder out of his voice as he stared out across the enormous cavern. "I'll be honest, I'm usually not the best at scouting, but the few scouting parties that have returned from deeper in have brought back reports that lead me to believe it is a task for officers, or at the very least those on the level of an officer. Our job for the moment is to try to establish a base of operations deeper into the forest. If we can achieve this, our soldiers can then get to work on occupying the area, and hopefully make it safe enough for civilian settlement later down the line."

Sorry for the wait guys, I'm just a little bogged down now that my course is starting. I'll see if I can get something out tomorrow night, but it'll probably end up being Sunday or something.
@Raptra@King Tai@PokimKyOshi
Adrien was really beginning to enjoy himself here, swinging through the forest and avoiding Dav's attempts to stop him. The net was a good idea, and probably would've worked if not for the fact that he was amazing, and able to dodge any throws with ease. However, it was nothing on the shield, which seemed to be blocking any potshots his hidden drones took at it with relative ease. In fact, he now had them flying around the boy for that very reason, trying to distract him enough for Adrien to set himself up for phase two of his plan, which would be even funner than this part.
In other words, Dav was surpassing Adrien's expectations, but it wasn't long now until the tables turned back in his favour once more.
And then his one of his drones picked up on an odd sound pattern. It was distant, and he couldn't pinpoint it, but it sounded like... growling? Yeah, no, growling and some kind of panicked shouting.
"Wait, Dav, hold up a moment!" He shouted to his partner, perching once more on a branch as he began the process of tuning in all his drones to search specifically for similar sounds. If he had a face, he would have frowned at the absence of any following sounds. He knew he'd heard a shout, and judging from the tone and pitch, it had probably come from a student. Silently, he commanded all but one of his drones to begin actively searching the area for any further traces of what might have happened, before starting to swing back to where the teachers had been. The single drone that hadn't left to search was the one closest to Dav, which Adrien now used to talk to him through.
"Hey Dav, sorry to quit on you like this, but I've been hearing some odd sounds, and I think some of the other students might be in danger. I'm going to see the teachers and let them know, but if you aren't planning to follow me back, you should take my drone and start warning the others."
Within a few minutes of finishing his message to the telekinetic young man, Adrien spotted the teachers talking to another student and dropped down next to them.
"Dr Roy, Mr Alexander." He started, walking towards them accompanied by a drone he'd called back. "One of my drones picked up on some weird sounds while I was training, and I felt I should let you know. Here, I'll play it back."
As he spoke, he sent a silent command to the drone, which promptly replayed the faint sounds of the growling, and the students panicked shout.
"Just so you know, I am planning to go and see if I can help out right after this. I just wanted to make sure you knew, and maybe see if you could give me any hints to deal with whatever this is. Tell the drone if you do, because I've gotta start searching properly."
And then, with the shot of a cord that zipped into the treeline, he was gone once more. Meanwhile, in his room, a new pair of drones activated, each one carrying an odd, bulky pack underneath their main chassis. After all, depending on what this turned out to be, he was probably gonna need a lot more than some shoddy makeshift wire-slingers...
