Guild RP

The night-shift-maid finishes hanging up all the currently available quests and turns to Nighty. "Oh, you'll get to know whats going on in just a moment. Just take a seat." She says and the turns around to put the quests behind the counter. So we do so and sit down on one of the free benches. We get to ask some of the adventurers sitting at the same table and they tell us that the bell is the signal for a urgent quest. It is an emergency quest and all other available quests are being cancelled and put down. All adventurers hearing the bell have to stop doing their current quest and return to the guild house. That explains the situation pretty well. We can still hear the bell ringing and from time to time more adventurers enter the guild house and sit down on a free spot. The guild house is soon filled with adventurers with their plates reaching from copper to silver.

After a few minutes the guild maid steps infron of the group and speaks up. As soon as she speaks everyone is quiet. Well, even though the guild maid seems very friendly and helpful, she is also one of the bosses here. She is one of the people to decide rank ups and allows us to accept and go on quests, "This is a urgent quest. As you may know all other quests are cancelled for now. We have a serious problem. I got notice from farmers and merchants that a horde of midnight-bulls are approaching from the north into direction of our village. A few of the farms already got devastated. Thats why we need to act."

Few of the adventurers are whispering to eachother about this unsettling news. A urgent quest happens rarely, it only happens in case villagers are in big danger. "But that cant be true? The midnight-bulls migration route is not even near this area?" One of the adventurers says kinda upset. But we are in the beginner area after all, such threats shouldnt come up here.

[Nighty]

"Well that is something intresting" Nighty mumble and look over Brunhilde as he nods slightly, this could be ticket to the higher rank but he also frown softly.... Yea this might be push but if this whole guild effort, him and her can't just waltz in with their power out, this will be end of them. He rest his chin and look over other adventures before nods, poor young ones... They probably not have problem like this coming early.

The guild maiden continues speaking: "We dont know why their migration route changed. Those are animals after all, who knows what leads them near our village. It is unusual and I know you might be scared, thats why I wont allow any copper adventurers participating. Those will go now, I dont want their lifes at risk." Probably one third of the adventurers here are copper badges, they seem veryy young. They are at the start of their lifes so its nice they dont need to get in such a dangerous fight. At least we assume its a dangerous fight, we dont know what midnight-bulls are, everyone esle seems to know though.

The copper badged ones stand up from the bench and move to the side of the guild house, letting the iron and silver adventurers sit. As you might know majority of people in the world are silver adventurers, the average adventurer. The next rank, gold, is difficult to reach and only a small percentage of silver ones make it. But at the same time you can have a calm life as a silver ranked adventurer too. You are not wealthy but you can live mostly peacefully. So most of the silver adventurers are average fighters, nothing more, nothing less. Some are younger, some are older. The older ones probably never made it to gold or they are not trying, enjoying their life as a silver adventurer.

"Alright, those who remain, we need to defend the city. Midnight-bulls usually walk over everything in their path, so we dont know if they walk around the village or through it. If they decide to walk through it, lifes are in danger and they could destroy a lot. We called for reinforcement from the lands kingdom but they wont send us help in time. There are only a few guards from the kingdom here. The herd will arrive here in the morning, so we have a few hours time. The copper adventurers only job is to make sure no villager is on the street and then you will get in cover too. So everyone, grab your stuff and we will meet in the north end of the village." The guild maiden finishes her speech with some motivational words, It seemed to work, all the fighters yell and seem confident about the fight ahead.

"Any more question?" She asks lastly.

[Nighty]

"It may end up that we can't stop the rush of them.... What happen if we reach this point?" Nighty mumble this silently as he not sure what to think. They have plan and it is not that is bad one but to be fair, it have more holes then shoot down barrel. Nobody know how big the herd is so if they go through the guild members, civilians will have no chance. He crack his fingers silently, to be fair he wish he could just go before anyone notice and deal with problem early but giving how all will watch each other, he doubt it will pass that easy

"Then we need to let them through, there is nothing we can do. If we cant kill them early or taunt them, making them attack us instead, they will run through the village. Then we can only hope the copper adventurers alarmed the entire city and there wont be many deaths." One of the guy sitting at our table answers once he heard your question.

"If there are no further question then lets go, please take your things and we will gather together at the north side of the village. Lets go." The guild maiden says and the adventurers yell once again in agreement. They jump up from their seat and check their equipment, some also leave already as they are prepared or they prepare elsewhere. Of cours the adventurers stay in their usual parties thats why we remain independant since our party only has two people. The copper badges also leave the guild house on their way to inform the people. The best way to do so is to go to the market since most people are there in the morning. But they surely have not an easy task trying to reach an entire village.

I stand up from the bench aswell and stretch. "My my, that sucks. Hopefully we can save a lot of people, as you know I hate innocent people getting hurt heh. Are you ready? Do you need anything?"

[Nighty]

"You know I have all with me..... Problem is how to approuch it without showing off. We not want them get hurt but we not wanna just rush full blazing" He nods and speak softly when look around the place, people run and collect stuff or head out, ready to prepare for the incoming event. He rub his chin little before look at Brunhilde and nods gently as he smile "We should go... Or maybe you want to scout first and see how it is?"

"Yea, thats true. We can show our strength but of course nothing demonic. If people ask us why we are so strong and started not long ago in the adventurer guild we can always say we are from another further away kingdom and moved here because its so beautifull here and we want to go on adventures and stuff. I think we can talk us out." I speak open but a little quieter. People are already busy, many are already gone, so they wont hear our talk.

"Lets go but I think scouting is not a good idea. If we fly around now while the village is in turmoil... I think its not a good idea. What ya think?" I make my way slowly outside of the guild house front door while chatting with Nighty. The guild maid is also on the move and leaves aswell. She will probably coordinate and give the orders on the battlefield.

[Nighty]

"Just suggesting.... But yes, we will have to play safe and just try our best" Nighty nods and look over it as he follow other guild members in silent now, thinking about this when look over the village. If they not stop them, well this will become ruin that is sure as he stroke his chin little "But yea, I hope it will be good"

"Yeaa, I think we can do it, I am confident about it. We maybe can come up with some ideas. Like stopping them with fire or things like that. And we are not alone too. Do you have any ideas already?" I say. The adventurers walk down the streets aswell. Some villagers look outside of their windows wodnering at whats going on. They of course heard the bell of the little church too so some people might be alarmed already, which is good. The sun soon goes up, so there is not too much time left though.

[Nighty]

"In that kind of fights, in better to prepare some traps.... It may not neccesery kill them but slow down for sure. Plus if there is range option at hand, good position on hill or higher structure can help. Easier to shoot" He nods as he smiles little at the ideas.... Just like good, old times back before demon life.... But that is not important, important is to make sure the road to village will be rather hell walk for the herd then just stroll so good idea would be to make ambush

"Hmm but what kind of traps is suitable in such a case? Do you want to visit the equipment supplier before we head north? We could get some things. Also I dont know how the terrain on that side of the city is, we will have to see." I say while we walk on the street near the guild house.

[Nighty]

"Spiked pits, oil bombs.... simple stuff that can be made quick and without much effort. We could check it quickly to see what can be use" He nods in respond as he follow Brunhilde in silent, being aware there is not much time but still enough to prepare some nasty surprise for the horde that may pass through village.

"Okay, lets go there then. Hopefully they are open already." I say and we turn to the right to go down the street into direction of the market. A few minutes later we reach the equipper. To our suprise they are already open, the salesman is standing in the doorframe and looks outside. He noticed that something is going on, there are adventurers rushing the streets after all and the church tower is ringing in the middle of the night. We greet him and tell the man what is going on. He seems shocked and lets us in. "What is it you need? Just tell me, I want to help in such a dangerous situation." He asks us. A few other adventurers also enter the shop to buy some usefull things. They probably have similar ideas than we had.

[Nighty]

"Thanks, we gonna give quick look over" He nods as walk past the merchant to see what he have in stock, moving around other guild members. Smark kids, using their brain to prepare and not rush head first. They might end up having bright carieer. Nighty move over diffrent assortments when checking for two things now, oil and ropes as they are rather easy to use for trap. And oil bomb rarelly failes

The supplier has most of the stuff available so you can find what you need most likely. I follow Nighty around the shop and look at all kind of tools like fishing rods or tents. They have a lot in stock since the village has a guild house in it. "Oil bombs are here, yes. But spiked pits? Dont know if we can dig holes that quickly for a big animal to fall into."

[Nighty]

"Well can be also spikes.... Not sure if the beast charge but giving that can use as traps, lift up when run and charge into them" He explain this when pick up oil bombs and nods alonge side the ropes as he place them down, decide to check what also can be found

"Hm, what you mean? Lift up what?" I say as I dont understand his explanation but he probably knows what he is doing. The rest of the shop has everything you can imagine so you can plan freely.

[Nighty]

"Simple, lay on the floor and pull by the rope or made it spring up... Alot of ways to skin the bear as they say" he nods and walk around for some times as he check the place in silent, watching diffrent stuff around before turn to the merchant and ask "Bottle of acid you also have on sale? Or I should ask alchemist about it"

I shrug not understanding but giggle. "As long as you know what to do we are fine, hehe." I follow Nighty and look around, I dont know much about stuff like that since I dont use tools or traps at all. So its nice to have someone who knows a little bit about it.

"Acid? Hmm, no no, I dont have something that special and also dangerous here. You should visit a alchemist in such a case." The man says but he is sorry about not having something that special here. Acid is nothing usual, only specialists have something like that since it needs to be mixed and storage is more difficult. "Anything else you need? Have everything? I hope it works and we can defend the village." The merchant says kinda worried, he got the news about the danger by now.

[Nighty]

"Well good to know that... also we can use some poison plants againts them" He think about it as he collect stuff he got it and smiles little, ready to pay for them when nods "It will be fine, we can do it" He said more to comfort the guy instead of himself, he doubt he could die here just from hands of stupid animals... But same can't be said about them...
