Adventurer's Guild Adventurer's Guild - OOC Room

Yes that would be fine, Iris just needs to know how to use magic. I can just save up money for her basic magic tomes.

I realise that mine technically knows magic but different systems would be totally confusing for Iris.

 

[GDLiZy]

Welp.... If no one takes the quest to teach my Iris on basic magic then I guess I'll just freestyle RP it tomorrow or day after tomorrow

My Luna could teach her, as she is experienced in various forms of magic. However, letting her teach your character might bring your character into the hit list of Golden Rose Syndicate— Guess it'll be your bad luck then.

She seemed to be like a noble little girl so some elegant spells she will learn then.

I have to say even with all these suggestions put forward for this exam I don't see a single one that would deeply be emotionally scarring other than perhaps the first one where AIEO can't hide her secret agenda but that is 100% something I would not write her into doing. I'd rather have the daemon take over rather than that personally but that would be the end of the character for all intents and purposes.

Traumatizing isn’t exactly the right word either. It’s just a failure / defeat, in the many different possible ways that you could conceive of it. An emotional loss is one way. A flat out physical loss is fine by me too.

Well, I got an idea. Using the basis of the pirates being aware that you're an adventurer, the exam could feature a raid on a pirate gang that knows the adventurers are coming, and thus more or less ends up as a colossal failure.

I like this too!

@ohko If the rank D quest is something that leads to a secret organisation of the guild, then does that mean it can only be marked by rank D personal. If so... does that mean the first report must be marked by the GM?

Konoha is special too, so she can mark it as well.

Uuuuhhhhhhh........ That's some quality teaching.... but I don't want Iris potentially die. GIRL TOO YOUNG!!

 

[Quaesitor]

I like this too!

Although this one... might only be doable with an OOC note?

Well, Reival just needed to work harder!

Alright. I'll do it tomorrow then~

*comforts you with huggles*

I guess this AG is mostly a warrior/rogue fest huh

Well...Liana used to know magic before she was turned but she hasn't even thought about it due to it being healing magic and her not being in the best of...situations to try healing people.
As for the future, I'm intending on her magic being more based on vampire abilities - with her previous high innate magical talent converting to being able to use vampire abilities faster than a normal new-born.
Saying that, it's still going to be slow level-wise and the more powerful/intricate abilities would still need guidance from her sire who has yet to arrive.
*sigh*

Heck, she still doesn't know how to control her blood-lust yet!

Although I haven't read much of other peoples AG profiles and stories, I am really curious as to how would others twist their AG's fate in order to meet the preferred expectation of the Guild.

Well in the end, hopefully everyone will Have a Nice Day!

Honestly, I already have a draft in my head on how to make Nene go through the E/D-rank quests. (Well, except the steal Egg part, Nene can't do that.)

And uhn... The weird part is that I think not much will be changed for her tbh. AG was kinda like a new start for her... She already had to survive in the woods before and she already had everyone she was close to dying... And like... While I never depicted it in any quests (mostly due to lack of time), Nene frequently hosts funerals in Scribel for adventurers that died either after a quest or just never returned from one.

So like... Both the survival and the loss would be more like... Revisiting things she already did before. In the end she won't grow much from them.

I liked how GDLiZy used the E-rank quest as a way to make Luna challenge herself more though, it was really nice to go over it~ <3

Can't remember exactly but it was posted here on OOC when discussing about general prices of goods and rents.


Also, how do I buy stuff? Do I just subtract the gold amount and just assume I bought it behind the scenes?

Assuming it was bought behind-the-scenes is good enough, or you can write you bought it somewhere. (Either Tavern, Freestyle or in the middle of a quest)

Training 2 (Closed)

Spoiler: Training 2

As he practiced, his swordsmanship slowly became more and more refined. With traces of Leon’s swordsmanship affecting it. It made his previously simple swordsmanship become more tricky to deal with. The powerful strikes he liked to use so much turned to quick strikes.

On paper it sounded bad. Weaker strikes meant less pressure and dealt less damage. But, like it was for Leon and his teacher it became a good thing for him. His sword was now a snake that could change direction at will. His downward strike could suddenly change into one aiming for the legs. A single stance could change from hitting the head, to the chest, or if he was daring enough a kick. It wasn’t as fast or swift as his teacher’s but it worked.

The stances he learned from his teacher became his greatest strength. It forced his opponents to think about what’d he do in his next strike. It allowed him to condition his opponent to falter backward or rush recklessly towards him.

Making him a difficult opponent to spar for the guards. As he focused on slowly reducing the options and thriving on the mistakes made by them. Soon he could predict a guard’s next move by their expressions alone.

That didn’t mean that he never lost. The weakness of striking at unusual angles was that it took more energy to do. And as a consequence it weakened the grip he had on his sword. Allowing the guard fighting him to easily knock it out of his hand if they ever read his next strike.

So it became similar to an arms war. He would add a fake strike or pretend to retreat. While they would come with other countermeasures to deal with him.

As he added more moves to his skill set so the amount of guards calling his sword style snake like increased. And, as it did he tried his best to suppress the rumors. He tried his best to not take advantage of the openings they left behind. He tried to keep to the stances left behind in the book. But, like all things, it didn’t end well for him.

Weirdly enough, instead of telling him to take it easy their leader pointed him to a certain group.

A group of guards who used lances instead of swords. Not used inside of the city because of the difficulty of using lances in a crowded city. They mainly were used to guard the gates and patrol outside the walls.

And, fighting them he found why. Lances, with their range reduced his style into a fragment of its former self. He couldn’t pretend to strike if he couldn’t reach them. At that distance he couldn’t even throw sand. Even on the off chance he made it to them by parrying the strikes they used close combat to knock him away.

At first the guards who sparred with him at first cheered for the lancers but as the losses continued the cheers turned into looks of pity.

When night had arrived he looked up at the sky and wondered. How could he ever beat that range. And, at the end, only one answer came to mind. Magic.

He wasn’t naive enough to believe that he was more skilled than the guards. Since he has been to their training for months. He knew their focus was more on teamwork rather than individual strength.

If the enemy had skilled swordsman they would switch to lances. If there were magic users they would use archers. If the enemy were causing chaos in the city the swordsman would flock to the scene.

He didn’t have teammates or comrades on his side so magic was the only way to change the tides his way.

The only issue was...how?

His teacher was gone to another city. And, finding another teacher just felt wrong somehow. But as he was thinking a voice called out, “Hello~ little Cassel. I see you’re still sulking after your loss to those guards.”

“Leon.”

“Ah, don’t be so grumpy. Losing to one of the single greatest weapons of mankind in history isn't too much of a loss. And, knowing you, you're thinking of the same solution I am.”

“Yeah, magic that’s the only way right?”

“Yup that’s correct and you know the best part? I can teach you~. You want to win after all, right?”

Frowning he growled, “I refuse to have a teacher like you.”

“Oh you think your teacher at this point will teach you? Out of town, rank E, and level seven?! Oh man, you’ll have a better chance finding gold in your soup than that happening. But, people like you can dream right? Call me when you’re ready to come back to reality.”

Leaving behind a crackling that got on his nerves. Leon headed back to bed.

Everyday he trained with the guards a loss was added to his record. So taking a break one day he went to the receptionist table. Filing and confirming records he fell back into a rhythm until he saw her.

Teach, she was back. For a moment he wanted to run, maybe trade shifts with a nearby receptionist but the words Leon had said echoed in his mind. He had to find out.

So finishing the report he was on he moved onto Felicia’s. Ending a duel with a single move impressive as usual but a new number caught his eyes. Level eight. He wanted to laugh, the bitterness in his heart growing. It seemed this would be more of a formality than anything else.

So trying to keep the bitterness and despair out of his voice he forced out "Hmm, well everything checks out. And, level eight already huh? It's seems like almost the other day since I saw you at level 7. I suppose those 10 G and 20 G classes are off the table? Anyway enough of my banter here, the promised rewards."

Waiting for her response he closed his eyes. And, thought maybe if he trained harder, did more quests, or was higher leveled he could be called her student again. But, it seemed somethings would come to an end. But-

“Of course they’re still on the table.”

And, like a piece of dust on the wind she disappeared. And, in her place was a man. Yanking the report from his desk. The man quickly read through the report. As Cassel was going to ask for it back.

The feeling of paper hit his face. With the words "Ah! Champion of my heart and life~!" declared the man exited the scene.

Trying to hide his irritation, he looked at a nearby receptionist and asked “Quest giver?”

With a nod as his answer, he finally understood why those five wanted to beat him up so much.

OCC: Okay I literally just wrote this for the Julrik scene. So it may be a bit sloppy.

It was really fun to read through it actually! Way to go! ^^)/

Evaluation

"Great work— Wait, there's a demon inside of your consciousness? Well, I think that Miss Nene also has that going for her, so you two might be interested in talking about this."

Rewards: 100 EXP, 30 G

I believe the nature of the possessions are fundamentally different, so not much can come out of it... >.>

Can toss the weight line out. Was just there in my notes when I was sourcing different references together for prices.

No, I was just making a light joke. It's a good reference for the weight (in general)~

But if you can add translation to normal units, I'm fine with that~

I think it's fine to remove it though. Gives players more freedom to say... pick one particular one versus another.

Also blame imperial UK measures. All of my references where inspired by medieval England!
