Back onto the first floor, the blue-haired blacksmith let out a short breath as she looked at the message she was going to be sending. Well, it was two messages but that was beside the point. The guild, Guardians of the Rising Dawn, were going on a guild raid. The Dragon Raids, to help everyone level up as well as ensure survival and teamwork. Of course, they were outsiders, three. Aster, Telrenya and Embers. While Eatos didn't have any issues with the outsiders, it was the idea alone that they needed outsiders. But, Stryder had promised them to come so who was she to object. Aster had her clear uses, namely that the girl was a healer. Telrenya, well, Eatos knew little of the girl and the same could be said about Embers. Outside of them, she knew each member of the guild, maybe not personally, but what they were capable off and that was enough to make the parties. 

'To all members of the Rising Dawn. We are commencing a Guild-Raid, the Dragon Hunter Anthology quest. All members of the guild are expected to come, as we cannot add you into the quest at a later date. Please arrive on the first floor and make your way to the edge of the safe zone headed north after you exit the portal. If you need any weapons/armour, i have some with me and will be giving it out for free. See you soon, Eatos' The girl looked at her message. Hopefully it would be enough to get the guild down here, Stryder and herself had been planning this activity for some time now, and she took it upon herself to start it. After all, despite their titles, she was the co-founder of the guild and had the same 'power' as Stryder when it came to decision making.

After that, she sent a message to the three outsiders privately, saying that the guild was doing on the Dragon Hunter Quest, and they were welcome to join if they wished, but were not being forced to by any capacity. After that, she sat down and waited. Angel, her Husky familiar, barked once and sat next to her, resting its head in her lap.

[Hei 0]

Hei had been at the lake on floor one for about half an hour to enjoy the sun and have some relaxation from his normal day life of sitting in the shop or being outside, searching for mats when the sound of a bell alarmed him about a message. As he couldn't open it right now, he swam back to the lake's shore and opened the menu to see who had massaged him. - Oh, it's a message from Eatos and it's not just for me, but for the whole guild, it must be something important. - he thought and opened the message, quickly reading what it was about.

"Ok, so we are going to do the dragon raid again, that's a good idea to level up the weaker players in the guild. And with Stryder's and my Attack power it shouldn't be to hard to kill them, at least the first ones." he mumbled to himself, while he once again read the message. It seemed that they would gather today, so he walked out of the lake and opened the map, to have a look at where they would be gathering. Without equipping his gear he started walking to where he would meet Eatos and the others. Just wearing shorts he arrived at the destination and saw Eatos and her dog sitting there, already waiting.

He carefully came closer to them, waving at the blacksmith and greeting them, looking what the dog would do. "Hi there Eatos, looks like I am the first."

[Fae 0]

Fae had been in the middle of her bath when she received the message from Eatos. This was a little bit upsetting for Fae, since she knew she couldn't make it to the location first. So Fae wrapped up her bath and got out of the tub. She dried off and then made a beeline out of her room and left a little note for Thorsten, who was still asleep in their bed. If he woke up and came to the quest, Fae made sure to leave the note in front of him, Fae is out with the guild on a quest! Come if you can daddy!

Fae arrived at the spot the guild was meeting up, and saw Eatos standing with Hei. Fae sighed and stopped running as fast. She was a little bummed not being the first to arrive, but it was okay. This was going to be a super duper fun experience! Fae picked her speed back up and ran towards Eatos. She hugged her tightly, and did the same with Hei. "Hi miss Eatos and mister Hei! Fae is here reporting for duty!" Fae said, stepping back from Hei and saluting.

[Saphira 0]

Saphira was again outside the town, searching for some materials she walked through a little forest. After a short time she saw a tree with a nest and careful she tried to climb up the tree. Before she could reach the first branch, she heared a bell sound. The forest was so quiet that the sound of a message let her cringe and she fell down at the ground. - Ouch! - grumbling she opened her menu and start to read the message. - A message for the whole guild...a guild raid...dragon hunt quest...it sounds interesting. -
Saphira stood up, controlled her equipment and opened the map to find the way.
After a while of walking she saw a little girl running in front of her - Fae? Yeah, this is Fae. - . Saphira followed the girl and soon she saw Eatos and Hei. She waited a short moment then she tried to sneak up on Hei. - Hei! - she called happy as she hugged him from behind. Then she let him go and greeted everybody else - Hi Eatos and Fae, nice to see you again. -

[Thorsten 0]

Silver awoke from his bed on the fourth floor. Interestingly, Fae had woken up before him and left the inn. This was odd, but not troubling. If Silver knew anything, it was that Fae could fend for herself if she needed to, so he need not be too worried. Still, he woke and got himself ready for the day. It took him some time to notice the notification of a message on his HUD, but he swiftly opened the message and read it. “Interesting, a guild raid. That must be where Fae went off to in such a hurry this morning.” He spoke to himself as he readied himself to leave. He made his way to the teleporter and  was swift to find himself in the town of beginnings. He quickly made it way to a rooftop and began to run across them until he could see the group. He then made his way to a nearby tree and perched there, close enough to listen but hidden with assistance from the cover of the leaves and branches. He had no faith in his skills for stealth but that didn’t bother him much. He was simply there to observe at this moment. He planned to join in once everyone else had arrived however.

The girl had been butchering boars on the first floor when the message came in. If she was honest, she was somewhat surprised it was that blacksmith girl being the one who messaged her. Last time it was Stryder who organised everything, where the hell was he? He was the one Embers respected, the one who she had fought next to and who had originally invited her. The blacksmith was good at her job, making weapons. But that was it, so leave her behind. 

But, either way, she wasn't missing out on the chance to kill some monsters so she made her way there. Given it was a 'guild 'event, she was taken aback by how few people arrived at first. The blacksmith was there with her dog, some short kid, Hei, who she remembered from last time and she gave a quick glare, daring him to make a Harem comment again. She wasn't part of this whole guild thing, so instead of 'joining' the group, she simply leaned up against a nearby tree and waited. 

[Crozeph 0]

Just another peaceful day for Crozeph, there were quests but he had them done already. The only thing he needs to do is get his shop back to its feet and he's good to go. Of course there was that message from Eatos, a guild member. Crozeph has grown used to identifying her as "blue-haired girl with a dangerous familiar" but soon enough he's going to call her by her real name, which is Eatos. Crozeph donned his usual gear and began making his way to where the others are. This was something about the dragon raid which seemed like he has done before but who cares for now? Crozeph walked calmly as he tried his best not to get lost while following his map cursors.

It was only a few minutes and it is a miracle for him to reach them faster than he thought he can. Crozeph could see the familiar faces as he joined them "looks like we're onto something huge huh? this is one sizable party" he told Hei. Crozeph still remembers that he owes the tailor some col for the half-paid scarf Hei made for him "sorry about that, but I'll return it to you soon...very soon" he told him. There was Eatos, and a few of the guild members whom he is now part of. They were all ready or half-ready but Crozeph was fine with them "we'll all do just fine in this raid" he said to himself.

[Pinball 1]

Pinball stopped cold at the sound of a notification. He quickly opened his menu, swiping down twice in a frenzied motion. Is it from... oh. It wasn't, in fact, from the person he was expecting a message from. It was actually from Eatos, one of the three guild leaders of the Guardians of a New Dawn. Blah blah blah, dragons and whatever. Alrighty. Can't keep them waiting on lil Ol me, I guess. Pinball spun around, and walked back to the teleporter his menu still open, and messaged that person that he wouldn't be able to come today. He was a bit mad he wouldn't get to meet up with his friend, but, after all, guild comes first. Plus, he could use the levels. He didn't exactly deal a huge amount of damage, and he was uncomfortable with this. He teleported back down to the First Floor, and met up with his guild. 

"Greetings, fellow adventurers," he wheezed in a nasally, obnoxious voice. He then found a nice place to sit while he awaited instructions. The smile he wore soon faded, and his eyes closed. Everything about the boy's way of holding himself screamed that he was asleep, yet his head was held up. "Aw man," he sighed, slapping the ground under him. "Can't wait to get into hunting down dragons or whatever." His tone of voice said otherwise.

[Stryder 0]

Sky was sprinting, he was running late... VERY late. His guild was meeting to reembark on the dragon hunts!!! He was meant to be leading them, that was his job after all! He was needed there to protect them, and to make sure that this went off smoothly. Hei was there was added backup... He hoped, and hopefully Crozeph. Those were the only two who could possibly replace him, and even they weren't as strong as him... Well, combined they were, but seperate... He shuddered, worrying. He didn't want to miss this! He didn't want his guild to fight on there own, he didn't want to risk Pinball, Fae, Eatos... Saphira... Any of them, he didn't want them dead... Especially not Fae... She was so young. He was determined to get her out of this game, to make SURE she lives, to make sure she had a life after this. He wanted to stay in this game... He didn't care, he would love this to be the real world! But.... Others might not, and when people that young are stuck in here... Fighting for there lives.... Well, he had to do soemthing about it. On the run over, Sky was thinking about how to put everyone into parties. He wished he could put everyone into one big party so he could monitor everyone easier.....

He smiled, seeing everyone. He had made it, finally... Well, almost. It only took him another a minute to get there, in which he ran up to Eatos, puffing a tiny bit. 

"Sorry i'm late, got pulled up into some business" He apologizes, before looking at the group. Most of the group was here... Though he was missing some.

[Eatos 0]

Watching each member of the guild arrive, Eatos had, mixed feelings. On the one hand, they had plenty of numbers which was always going to be good. However, where the HELL was Stryder?! She could see each member approve, smiling and replying to them "It's a pleasure to see you" while inside the girl felt frustration and anger building up. He was the 'head' of the guild, and he couldn't even be bothered showing up? A quick message saying he'll be late, with no context, wasn't good enough. 

Thankfully, the fool eventually arrived and Eatos stood up, calling in the players around her. "Alright, looks like we're all here" She threw an angry glare at Stryder, one that would demand answers from him "We're redoing the dragon quest, as i'm sure you saw in my message. Now, the dragon itself isn't far from here, and honestly, shouldn't last too long against us as a guild. Ensure you have your best equipment equipped, and i'll divine you into teams soon" 

The blacksmith tilted her head at Stryder, an order for him to get over to her. In theory, he had been making the teams and she hoped he had finishd it. Otherwise, well, she really was going to hit him for this. 

[Hei 0]

When Fae had arrived, she came up to him and hugged him, and Hei had hugged her back, as it always was nice to see the little girl. He always loved meeting with the guild, and this was one of those times, so he greeted everyone who arrived and even with him knowing that the dragon wasn't strong, he was unsure, if it was a good idea to bring all the lower level players. It still was a dragon and it's damage wasn't to bad either, but that was Eatos and Stryders job and they had decided that it would be ok. When Stryder finally arrived, Eatos told them to be ready for the fight, and as Hei had ordered a new shield from Eatos, he would be happy to get it, so he would be able to be a better guardian for his team. "Hey Eatos, have you brought the shield I ordered? I would like to test it in this dragon battle." he told the blacksmith, and while he waited for her response, he took a final look at all his guild mated getting ready for the battle.

[Fae 0]

Fae lowered her salute and walked around to see who else had shown up to the meeting. She didn't see Thorsten yet, but Fae just passed it off as he was on his way here, or he just didn't want to come. He technically didn't have to come, but it was always nice to see him around. She hadn't been in the guild for too long, but she recognized just about everyone here. Hopefully they all recognized her, but Fae pictured herself as being the unforgettable type.

Since Thorsten wasn't here yet, Fae walked around, trying to find someone to hang out with. She walked up to Pinball and tugged at his arm. "Hi mister Pin! Fae is glad you came! Did you bring Fae's cookie with you that Fae ordered?" Fae asked with a joking tone as she looked up at him. Other than Thorsten, Pin was probably Fae's closest friend. Eatos had said that she was going to divide them into teams, which sounded like a pretty good strategy to Fae, just cover more damage that way. It was a bit difficult to see Eatos because of Fae's height, so she tried to get up a bit higher. She climbed up a nearby tree, and then proceeded to hop onto Stryder's shoulders. Fae patted his head and looked down. "Good to see you mister Stryder! Fae can't see, so Fae will be sitting up here for a bit if you don't mind." Fae said as she ruffled his hair a little bit.

[Saphira 0]

Saphira looked aroun, searching and waiting for the other guild members. Soon arrived a read-haired girl and a guy she remembered as "crow" or something. Shy she walked a few steps back and looked at the arriving people. - I wonder who this red-haired girl is - she thought and looked at the girl who stood near a tree. As Pinball arrived she looked at all those present - We are still not complete...where is Stryder? I wonder when he will arrive.. - . As Eatos begun to greed us, Stryder arrived. Eatos said, that they would do the "dragon-quest" and she talked about, that she would put us in teams soon. - I wonder who of all this members will be in a group with me - curious she looked again around - Also I wonder, if I will be able to fight agains the dragon, sure it will be dangerous, still... -
She looked at Eatos again and waited, if she would say soon something about the teams.

@Thorsten

[Embers 0]

The red-haired girl simply watched as everyone arrived. The guild 'Guardians of the New Dawn'. If she was honest with herself, it was a stupid name. Then again, most guilds had stupid names. Part of her was, always, curious about then, but she hadn't bothered to join one. Maybe, MAYBE, in the future, but not for the forseeable one. Still, the Kid had brought her along to kill the dragon. He was right to acknowledge her skill, bring an outsider in to help carry the weak members of his guild.

The girl walked up, having hung back before. She walked straight up to Stryder, and gave him a light shove. She was donning her pitch-black armour, and the Scythe on her back. She would love to know what the others saw. Death itself, grinning. "There you are kid, and here i thought you weren't gunna show up. We gunna get goin' or what? I can't stand waiting around..."

The girl looked around at the guild, it seemed much like a mess. Where these the 'soldiers' within the guild? She kept the comment internal, but she was somewhat worried about just how capable they'd prove.

"Well we all have our own businesses to attend to while we're at it" Crozeph told Stryder. The group seemed to come together now and Crozeph saw a lot of familiar faces, still he didn't know some. Crozeph gave a chuckle at the girl who gave Stryder a shove which looked like a pat for him, maybe not harmful. He checked himself. Here he is still donned in his black coat. He never wore any protective armor, he was relying on his evasion maybe but who knows what any situation can give. Crozeph kept his hands inside the pocket of the coat, he isn't the handshaking type either. "So now we're taking on another dragon? we should be called dragon-slayers!"  he told them using his elbow to on tapping Hei "not bathing in its blood anymore, I heard it leaves a stench that lasts for days" he added jokingly. Crozeph tried to at least speak up even if he didn't want to, just for social purposes. If he wanted to get along with this guild then he better brush up on socializing with other guild members.

@Pinball

[Pinball 1]

Pinball watched as his guildmates began to mingle. By the sound of it, the quest they were undertaking wouldn't stand a chance against the full might of the guild. Pinball shrugged, and started walking in circles, waiting for the quest to begin. He didn't want to seem rude and ask when they would depart, as he was sure they would figure themselves out sooner or later. He shook his head when Fae asked if he brought the cookie she had ordered. "I'm sorry, no, I didn't. My shop has been swamped with orders lately. I promise I'll get it to you soon, though!" Pinball forrced a laugh and a smile, and once again stepped even further away from his guildmates. He just wanted to get this over with, and everyone seemed keen on socializing. Pinball frowned, a bit angry. He was in one of his bad moods, and it would worsen if anyone did something the teenager decided he didn't like. 

[Stryder 0]

Sky could tell that Eatos was kinda pissed at him.... She had every right, he was late to his OWN guilds questline. Thats a little.... well embarrassing. He had been busy though, Tel had contacted him about this quest, sooo he had to go deal with that first.... Though he would explain that later. He looked at everyone here.... Preparing to split them into teams, but before he could do much Fae jumped up on his back, ruffing up his hair. He laughed a little, a light chuckle as he reached an arm up and rubbed her hair a little back. 

"Good to see you too Fae" He replies with a cheerful attitude. Then of course, Embers came up and shoved him. He made sure to keep his balance well enough so Fae didn't fall off, instead just bouncing a little to give her some fun. "Yeah we are soon, lemmie get everyone sorted first" He says to the girl, seeing her Scythe... She really was trying to look like death.

He looked towards Croz, and he didn't know if he was angry or not but he did feel a little bad. He had kept everyone waiting.... and they did have there own lives they had to go on with. He chuckles a little, looking at him and saying sorry again before looking at everyone. He sighed, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before entering his professional mode. This could be dangerous... Though he was here to keep them safe.

"Alright listen up. This is mainly for bond building, these quests could be dangerous, but for now no one is at risk. I won't take out this dragon unless someone is in dire need of help. Squad assignments, i want these people partied up, and keep in mind this will carry over should we decide to do the rest of the quests in this chain" He says before looking at everyone, taking a deep breath again before continuing.

"Eatos, you will be an overall healer. Anyone gets hit i want you to heal them, but focus on Fae, Pinball and Saphira, those three at at most risk of dying. Teams will be Pinball, Fae and Crozeph as party one. Party two is going to be Embers, Saphira and Hei. I will be in a team with Thorsten, and Eatos you can join a party if you want if it makes it easier for you. Any problems?"

[Eatos 0]

The teams were, honestly, simple. Damage to keep the aggression system away from their weaker members. The girl looked at her options and quickly edited them to suit her mental notebooking.

Crow, Pinball and Fae. Out of team 1, Crow and Pinball were the main damage threats, and should keep the aggression onto them. She put them above Fae, who hopefully, wouldn’t get targeted.

Team 2, which was made out of Saphire, Hei and the outsider, Embers. She knew Hei would get the aggro, but wasn’t sure about the other two. Embers seemed, well, violent, so maybe her.

As for team 3, well, that wasn’t worth noting. Stryder, herself and Thorsten. She knew that Thorsten didn’t deal damage, much, and Stryder wouldn’t need healing. That made her have to recuperate whoever was in the first party.

The blue-haired girl looked out at the guild, and let out a deep breath. She could do this. No worries.

“Ok, so we all have a team assigned and hopefully we all know what we’re doing once we find the boss. Just, remember. The first few ones won’t be too tough, and we’re mostly aiming to get practice. The higher the floor, the harder it’ll be. Learn early and you’ll be fine” The girl didn’t have the heart to add what she truly wanted to add. All because she’d glanced at Stryder, with Fae on his back.

 

 

[Hei 0]

Finally, after Stryder had arrived and greeted everyone, they were going to start their quest. Stryder divided them into teams, so they would split the agrro and damage to only hit those who were best fit for it. The first Team probably was the one that was the most endangered, as Hei wasn't to sure about their strength. He knew that neither Pin nor Fae were really strong, so he hoped that Crow could deal with the damage that was coming in. For his own team, he was pretty sure, that he was the person dealing the highest amount of damage, which was probably enough for him to kill the dragon with one hit, if the first team dealt some damage up front. With Stryder being part of the last team, there wasn't any problem in it, he could simply kill the dragon in case of danger. Walking over to his team members, Hei asked Saphira and Embers if they wanted to join a party, and sent invites to them. Then he strolled back to Eatos, getting the shield he had ordered back when they had tried the Quest chain the first time and equipped it instead of his armour. "Thanks for crafting this, I'll use it for the coming fight to see how good it is."

Sky watched as no one would really walk up, so with a bit of a sigh, Sky walks into the nearby clearing. He was guessing the guild followed him, but he didn't mind. He was going to start this fight, and take the first hit.... Maybe then people would start standing up for this fight. As he walked into the clearing, the hatchling looked at them all, growling with its baby voice. It leapt at Sky, but he was ready for it, having already fought this thing before he was prepared, and expertly parried the hit and threw the dragon to the side, though he didn't strike back at all. He wasn't going to kill it like he did last time, that was up to his guild. He looked over at them, smiling.

"Come on Party one, your turn!" He yells out to them, wanting them to come get involved. He was doing this for there benifit, they would gain a lot out of this IF they managed to pull of the entire chain... He just hoped no one would die while on the way.
