Bobby-Jack swerved into the chamber they'd cleared of exiles earlier on, only to come face to face with a woman rummaging through one of the tables they'd passed properly looting.

"New meat, I suppose?" there was a harsh edge to his voice, "Name's Bobby-Jack, and you've joined us just in time to beat a retreat."

"Or you can run in, and then die, if you'd rather do that."

SERIA MAU - THE GUILD

A new challenger appears!

A young woman in a bright red cape gingerly approaches the Guildhall door. She's holding a letter of introduction from Lady Blamwagger's Finishing School for Young Huntresses. She's here for work experience: to pass her final year, she just needs to survive long enough study hard enough to produce 10,000 word projects for her modules on Applied Creature Anatomy and Corruption Studies: Past and Present.

Though of course, she won't need the letter of introduction, because they will have received her application weeks ago? ...Is this even the right place? And are those extremely new tombstones?

She carefully closed the drawer she'd just finished rummaging through. "No, I think I won't. Thanks for the advice." She indicated the neatly bundled flatpack on the ground. "Some ammunition.

Seria stood paralyzed for a brief minute, overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of a (relatively) well-functioning mercenary guildhouse, quite overwhelmed until one of the roaming cave dogs nuzzled at her satchel, drawn by the smell of good quality travelling jerky. As she scritched the beast idly behind its ears she reflected on her lessons: A Lady is Observant, she remembered, hearing Lady Blamwagger's stern tones. A Lady Orients herself.

Well, she thought. This is just Fresher's Week all over again. Time to find where to sleep and where to eat. But first, shopping!

Honiko Bonik

The guild mage Honiko focused on her writing. As though in a trance, her eyes rarely strayed from her work. Occasionally, she'd glance aside at one of the potions bubbling away on the writing desk, if only to check on its progress over time. Honiko occasionally exchanged polite words with anyone in the guild who intentionally sought her attentions, but she didn't say much and she didn't commit to her explanations aside from a slight shrug of the shoulders. Her eyes were distant in those moments of social exchange, and she gave the impression that she didn't much desire any extended interruptions.

Deep down, she didn't know how to explain to Mallian just how it was that they had failed, and that she had lost someone dear to her in the process. The two teams had been making quick work of the foes nearest to the entrance portal they'd made in Fal-Tagra Nesshu, but then they'd been suddenly stretched way too thin for the enemies they found deeper in...

Honiko kept writing scrollwork, as though rewriting magic spells to and from the Guild's spellbooks and the Librarium was a form of penance.

Soft skidded to a graceful stop, consolidating what she'd seen in her brief trip here into her memories. A fierce raid, a sharp thrust into the flesh of this place... Before being rebuffed. This crew was insufficient as they were to penetrate the fortress and slay its queen. And they had lost someone. That much was plain; frustration and grief hung in the air like a shroud.

She tapped her lips thoughtfully with a finger, then tapped the recall sigil with one foot and rode the waves of arcane force back to the hall.

Oh! Hello Mr. Rolodex! I was just about to bring this to you this crossbow, but you're already here! So, I'll just put it in storage until you're ready to pick it up. And welcome back, everybody!

quote:

The sound of the bubbling potion next to Honiko gradually begins to slow and deepen, slowly taking on the murmuring, liquid babble of a tidal pool filling. From beneath the sleeve of her writing arm an octopus tentacle extends, slowly and gently encircling the mage's wrist and palm, bringing her writing to a halt. The world gradually darkens and seems to fade away.

I would comfort you, but I do not feel death in the same way you do.
I am constantly devouring, and devoured. To end is merely to continue in another form.

Turn your thoughts, there is work you must do.

I still wish to taste these terrestrial waters.
Moreso, I have need of others who will work in my service.

Their hearts are mine already, but it is you who must anoint their bodies.
My tides will bring them to you. Be vigilant.

All together, we shall build my new temple.


OKAY!! I'm sure some of you guys aren't actually ready to go yet, so for now just listen up! So we do have some new locations for you lot, lemme go down the list real quick:

Relinquished mine, again! This is the uh, lower floors of the mine. I guess it was abandoned in a hurry, so probably some good stuff left over down there.

There's Na'... Napa.. Asp temple! It's a temple so it's probably got a lot of good loot in it!! Also there's another reliquary, so if you manage to find that then we'll have a replacement for the next time one of you headbutts the one we have and breaks it. ANYWAY. You can expect humanoid snake people, but surprisingly few traps apparently.

Next up, Port Kiam Waterworks. Notice that I'm saying 'waterworks' here, and not 'sewer' Because it's Definitely Not a Sewer. I guess Port Kiam was big for smugglers, and they used to hide stuff down there all the time, and it hasn't been ransacked yet as far as I can tell. There's uh.. Probably slimes and wierd stuff.

Last up, Gygas Hollow. This was actually a delving spot from before the Sea, even, and it had something of a reputation as a place where you could make a name for yourself. It's basically a series of large, interconnected caverns filled with subterranean pools and bottomless pits. So if one or more of you can waterwalk, levitate or otherwise fly around that'd probably be useful for scooping up treasure. There's a lot of flying creatures, some stuff that lives in the water, and big rock things. Some of this poo poo is pretty nasty, but most areas aren't so bad. Just be aware that flyers and other stuff can come up out of the pits, so it's easy to get ambushed.

Aaaand of course there's Fal-Tagra, still. It's fine to take a bit of a break from that one in the short term, but you shouldn't leave it alone for too long or they'll probably start to reinforce.

"But the fact remains that this World has no such mercies to offer. Not to the likes of us. This much I know, if nothing else."

It takes time, but Ghorg has recuperated.
It's difficult to tell at first given Ghorg's eye situation, but Ghorg manages a groan as they sit upright.
"Haven't... Slleept like that in a while. Yulia?... Oh."
"..."
Ghorg moves to stand, the box they were carrying taking this moment to fall on the floor.
Ghorg... not-quite-blinks before they remember, scooping it back up. Not yet. Not...
No. No more hiding.
Ghorg cracked open the box, carefully removing a tattered gauntlet.
Whatever it may have once been, it was clear the gauntlet was functionally irreperable; superficially repaired perhaps, but never again would it work it's magic.
That was fine.
It wasn't meant to anyways.
...
To Ghorgs pleasant surprise, it still fit.
When the time came, the lady in jade would know who Ghorg was.



Not a bad look either, if Ghorg said so themself. (And they did.)
They would have to thank Valter for the scarab when they got a chance.
For now, hup, Ghorg takes a few shakey steps, but manages to stand upright.
It was time to put the box back in the 'case, and get some stretches in.
There was still work to be done if Ghorg was to be prepared.
Perhaps Tozi could be bribed to pick up a cheap glass sphere in town next time they went in?

Honiko Bonik

Outside the guildhall, Honiko opened her eyes in search of the bottom of the saltwater spring shrine and found that her silhouette was all she could see of its dark, briny depths. The priestess' long hair trailed a circle of around her head's like a halo, and her magical purple robes flowed translucently in the gentle rocking of the pristine waters.

Her God, Nauvas the unfathomable, had spoken to her.

Slowly discarding her remaining breath, Honiko sought further biddings, commandments, and instructions from her god, gazing into the abyss. Finally, she saw it: a lone crab was scuttling about below, barely visible through the murky darkness. It held in its dominant claw a shiny shard of shell, Honiko noted, which it brought to a smaller crab living in a nearby hole. This was the sign.

Honiko allowed herself to turn her onto her back to resurface and take a deep breath of the salty mountain air. As she stared past the clouds overhead and into the piercing blue skies above, for the first time in a while Honiko could allow herself to think about furthering the goals of higher causes.

There was a new girl at the guild, one robed in red, and she seemed to have the same pluck and zeal that the green-cloaked Jane had shown during her earliest days working for the guild. While Honiko now knew that Jane could protect herself in a fight, Honiko also wanted to make sure that this newest recruit also got everything she needed for her first mission.

What had the girl in red been eyeing in the shop - was it the Steam Drill Mk.1? Honiko made a mental note that when she dried off she would sell off the potions of Intellect that were sitting unused in the guild's storage bins.

Ashti Zann

Once the distracting work was done, and the Wrist Launcher was as repaired as it could be (that flywheel was just never going to be that stable), Ashti drifted out to the main room once again. She should have spent time at the memorial, she knew. She should have asked for stories about the dead she'd never met, and maybe shared what little she'd known about Leif. But it was work time, again, and her instincts pushed her towards the bloody distraction of her trade. It wasn't what she needed -- wasn't really what she wanted, either -- but it was what she had.

Ashti frowned as she considered the options Tozi laid out. The new arrivals were still new... but trying to play mama hen again would be painful, and she wouldn't be at her best, which they needed. Let someone else escort this time, she decided. She needed to stretch her skills, get messy and dangerous -- and if she died, well, she died, right? Had to happen eventually. Wouldn't be so much of a loss, right?

Not right now, a voice inside her chided. You won't even die properly as long as you've got that little cage in your pack. Shouldn't you turn it over to the guild, let it protect someone more valuable than you?

Ashti closed her eyes. gently caress you, she thought, as clearly as she could. The oblivion voice didn't get to win. Still a good idea to push herself, do something productive, but... she could afford to take the risk, if she was carrying the Phoenix Charm.

"My vote's for the Port Kiam Waterworks," said Ashti at last. "Interesting things in smugglers' tunnels, and if we've got the water on our side, we should be all right. I'll go where I'm needed, though -- I always do."
