"Paladin?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:46

"What?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:47

"Why did you choose my guild?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:47

I shrugged.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:47

"Actually just the first thing I remembered. You need your domain. You make raids for newbies..."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:58

"Which you came up with on your own."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:59

"So? You didn't abandon it, did you? Besides, we have the same goal - to pass the dungeon first."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 16:59

" What is your interest?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 17:00

"According to the plot, there was a battle between the locals and other bandits. The locals were helped by paladins. I need all the armor marked with the sign of the Temple."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:50

"What if it's all like that?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:51

"I don't think so. These are quest items, maybe only one piece will turn up at all."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:51

"What if there's more than one? If there's so much of it that one can't carry it alone?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:53

"Then you'll have to carry it for me."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:53

"What good is it to us?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:53

"Besides the Glory of completing the quest first and a good reputation with one of the six major powers of the city, you're going to call your own? Well, I don't know..."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:54

The half-elf thought.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:54

"And what if I don't agree?"

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:55

"Then I'll gather all the guild leaders of the city and arrange a public auction. I only turned to you because you kept your word, bought a map, and didn't try to push."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:55

The player put you in the list of friends, now you can see his name.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:56

"Epitriz, an element mage, raid leader of the guild. Wait here, I'll assemble the group."

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:57

Fifty-second level? That's what a man chooses to do. With his level, he should go to the Pass or the Coast, not sit in a sandbox, assembling a guild, which anyway never rises above the sixth rank.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:58

Hints that I had information about the place where our unburied brothers lay in the temple were received with enthusiasm. I was called all sorts of good names and told that it would be a good deed and should be done as soon as possible, but no help was given.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 18:59

It's just like in life. The dungeon is already open, and soon there'll be hundreds of players looking for pieces of old armor to sell. The paladin has done his job the paladin can leave.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 19:00

Well, at least they praised me. Sometimes even that doesn't happen.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 19:00

Sitting down on a bench in the temple courtyard, I began to refresh the supply of scrolls.

Camrad_RIP 12.01.23 в 19:01

Yesterday I was really stupid for trying to get to a new dungeon as soon as possible. Excitement, I got carried away. It happens; if you think about it, I don't even lose anything by going through the Watch in a month or two with a strong group assembled. I just really wanted to do it first. Of course, the temple assignment is very important. You have to bring...bullshit. The two pieces of armor I got from the first monster would be enough to pass. More than sure it will be enough, it was only a question of finding the burial place of the fallen brothers, and I found it. Still, I want more. Besides, even in the vast world of COD the discovery of a dungeon, even if it is low-level but no one has passed, is an event, and I want to participate in it.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:11

As a result, after yet another futile search of possibilities, I went to the marketplace, asked the NPC merchant in the guild tent to invite the half-elf I knew, and made him an offer that couldn't be refused.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:18

"There he sits. Pal, meet the party."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:18

"The party, meet the pal?"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:19

Said the troll girl. Or rather, a trollgoblin.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:19

Very funny. This is Willity, our main tank.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 06:20

The girl did a curtsy, then jumped up, flipped in the air, and landed in a picture pose. Not a virt, more like a motion mod. I think I saw it in some Korean game back in my school days.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:10

"Mario. Warrior of the Rocks."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:10

"Hello."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:11

"Ittiri, the priestess of Glarg. The only archetype in the group... except you."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:11

The tiefling with the short horns and the sign of fire on her cape nodded to me, and I put my fist to my forehead, saluting.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:12

"Superjah. Shooter."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:12

"Coo!"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:12

A schoolboy? Or a student? His weapon was fixed by the mod as an artifact, indestructible.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:13

"I'm a mage, you know. You're a paladin of Amalah, archetype, aren't you?"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:13

"Yes." I stepped forward. "We're re-forming: I'm the leader."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:14

"Why would that be?"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:14

"Plot-wise. I don't want to blow a month's worth of work over something as trivial as this."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:14

With a snarl, the guilders quickly reassembled the group with me at the head. That's fine, let them get used to it. I switched the channel to the internal one and turned off all the others.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:16

"So, I'm doing a Narrative Quest. Judging by some indications, this could give very, very serious bonuses to the performers. Eleven hours ago, I discovered an unknown dungeon." Superjah whistled. "Mine isn't in town, so I turned to Epitriz for support. I don't need a relic. I need to collect as much quest ammunition as possible."

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 11:18

I took another look at the faces. It's a good thing COD pay so much attention to emotions, or you'd never know how they'd react. So far, everyone was serious and interested.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 16:58

The essence of the quest - there was a fight two hundred years ago. The paladins of Amala the Healer helped the locals, and that's where they all stayed. I need to bring the armor of the fallen to the Temple. How much armor there will be - I don't know. The difficulty of the dungeon is the second lowered rank, judging by the first mob. Maybe even a full-fledged second. You - dungeon relics and loot. Me - quest stuff.

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 17:00

"Pal, you say you've been doing the quest for a month. And then all of a sudden you give the result to strangers?"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 17:03

"What do you say?"

Camrad_RIP 17.01.23 в 17:03
