((Really? You had to hit all of them? At once? >.< Now I actually have to figure out all this stuff))
Shiloh goes to check out the blacksmith.
You head over to the blacksmith. It's a wide building split into two sections. One side has an open forge, where the other side is a sheltered shop. A sign indicates that the shop is for general supplies, and the forge for metalwork. Shocking.
Hunched in front of the searing flames of the forge is a MAN. This guy has to be 7 foot tall and made of muscle. He probably bench presses anvils, or forges. His lack of a shirt only emphasizes his musculature. He has wild white hair and unshaven stubble. He smudged with black marks all over from soot. He glances back at you for a moment, while he is stoking the fire. After a double take, he speaks up in a deep voice.
"You're a new face around here. I'm Dragas, I own this forge, and my son, Jimmy watches the shop for me." He pauses to wipe his brow.
"If you need any custom jobs, I'm your man. Oh, and if you find any hammers like that..." He points over to a rack on the wall. There are a couple odd looking hammers hanging there. They look like blacksmith hammers, not meant as weapons, but they had an air of magic around them, an odd glow.
"Bring them to me. I can forge magic into your equipment with those. Unfortunately, those belong to other guilds, and I can't use them for you without their permission. The hammers don't last forever. Apparently they just seem to show up in the Labyrinth sometimes, it's very strange."((Most armor and weapons will be sidegrades from what you currently have, but you can get extra magic slotted into your current stuff if you find/buy the use of hammers off of other guilds. Feel free to ask for custom work of course.))
Bianca nodded to the woman's words and gave a short nod of thanks. Deciding that most of the group would probably avoid politics like the plague, and taxes, it would fall to her to deal with it all. Plus they probably expected her to go, as a lady of good stature. "Thank you Reina, we'll be sure to return when we have stories to a new name." And with those words, she walked out of the guildhall, and made her way towards the Radha.
Visit the Radha, enjoy the boring politics, and by that I mean look up available jobs that would be around our skill level.
You enter the large white stone building. The doors are also of white stone, and engraves with images of more plant life. Inside, it's well lit from the glass ceiling, while lamps line the walls for night lighting. The first room is a lobby of sorts. A decorative cabinet, a bookshelf, paintings, that sort of thing. Directly ahead, a neatly dressed man is sitting behind a desk reading. He's blond with blue eyes, and wearing a cream colored suit. He looks up from his book at your arrival, pushes his glasses up and beckons you in.
"Please, please, come in. I am Arthur, I speak on the Chieftain's behalf. To what do I owe the pleasure Milady?" He bows courteously.
You explain that you are there for the Labyrinth, and ask about any jobs to do.
"It's wonderful to have you and your guild helping. However, I think you may have misunderstood. We generally only issue missions for important problems affecting Etria, or progress in the Labyrinth as a whole. Which brings me to why we've been pushing for more people to help explore. Within the past year, monsters have become more aggressive. It was very sudden. In addition, the Labyrinth is shifting, and old maps were no longer accurate. Now, the labyrinth has always been somewhat mutable. What one group may explore is different for others. But certain landmarks never changed. The geomagnetic poles have shifted in particular. We were no longer able to use those to warp deeper in. Right now, guilds are trying to reacquire these poles."He adjusts his glasses once again.
"So our primary goal, is to find the source of these changes and correct the problem. We are offering a large reward to anyone who can do so. We suspect the problem is much deeper in, but there is little evidence at the moment. I'm sorry we don't have anything more... attainable at the moment, but that's how it is. Many of the locals will post jobs at the Golden Deer Pub. Tasks to collect various materials from the Labyrinth, usually, but all sorts of jobs are posted. You could try that if you wish to help out.""Heading to the apothecary in case anyone goes lookin'." the highlander said, turning his back and waving as he left the building.
To the apothecary!
The apothecary is small and cramped. A wooden countertop sections off the front of the store from the lab in the back. Glass bottles, vials, burners, alembics, mortar and pestles, and more are strewn about the lab. It smells strongly of medicine. Scurrying around the lab, is a middle aged man with graying, shoulder length hair, heavy round glasses, and a white lab coat.
"Do you have the Mint Grass?" "Got it!" A female voice calls out from the back. A cute, bubbly girl with pink hair, also clad in a lab coat stands up into view from behind a table. She hands off the glass jar full of green grass to the man. He takes a pinch of it, and starts grinding it up. As he does that, he takes notice of you.
"Hello, can I help you? Do you need any medicine? Our supply is a little low at the moment, but we still have the basics."((I'll put this in the OP when I get a chance. More become available with time, and collecting stuff.
Medica - 20 En - Cures 30 HP
Amrita - 150 En - Cures some Energy, TP, Mana, whatever. (I'm still working on the exact amounts)
Theriaca B - 30 En - Heals all status ailments
Nectar - 100 En - Revive at low HP))
