The mont that Karl brought Dora through the gates of the Guild House, pandemonium reigned. The altar in the back yard pulsed with energy to heal the fatigue and lingering injuries of the new arrivals. The Half Orc, Half Green Dragon Rebirth Shaman took off dashing toward the altar.
Then, a tiny green dragon, Lotus in [Beast Form], tackled her and took her to the ground as the Priestess transford back.
That panicked the Shaman, which confused the Orcish Druids, which brought the Gate Guards dashing to watch the show.
"Is it constantly like this?" Larry questioned quietly as Karl continued leading them toward the workshop. "Only sotis. The Green Dragon High Priestess just discovered a half dragon of the Green Dragon clan, and the Shaman just found an altar to her species' patron deity. Give them like six hours and they'll be calm again."
From the porch, Davis chuckled as he heard those words, but there was a good chance that Karl was not wrong. Even if they cald down enough to move out of the yard, they weren't getting anything productive done today.
"Gentlen, et the sculptors. These are Loros and Wendy. In the back corner is Ashbringer, our Grandmaster Smith. He looks busy, so we will do introductions later."
Ashbringer flapped one leathery wing in acknowledgent, and then went back to his crafting.
"Ladies, these are Larry and Darryl, a pair of Druids who have Commander Rank nature Magic. They will make many of the item blanks that you require in the future, but they are also Inscriptionists, so they will be toiling inside the majority of the ti, creating scrolls and Skill Books." Karl explained.
"I get it now. We make the rough form, they make it pretty, then they do so magic and turn it into a powerful item?" Darryl asked.
Loros acknowledged in agreent. "That's exactly right. We can make all sorts of useful Commander Rank Rings, weapons, amulets and statues. We just need material to work with. Until now, we have been buying the raw materials, or having Lotus make them, but if we've got two more that can do it, that's much less strain on the mbers."
Karl smiled. "Dora can as well. She will also be joining you in the Runecrafting section, though she's not so much a sculptor. Mostly she will be creating the base items and then engraving items that are already carved, as she is Royal Rank, and can make items for the city."
Wendy acknowledged along with Karl's words, then grinned at the Druids. "Tell , can you turn into bears?" She asked.
Both gazed confused. "No, we're not on the beast transformation path of the Skill Tree. Why?"
Wendy shrugged. "We've got a Bear Totem Berserker, and she's really cuddly. I thought you might make a good teddy bear."
The pair of Orcs laughed. "I don't think those words usually go together, but I'm sorry to let you down. However, once I get a few more skill points, I will be able to summon a common creature. So of those can be cuddly."
Loros laughed. "There is an Overlord Ranked Illusionist here. She's not actually short on soft things, she was just looking for new ones."
Karl smiled. "There is a lot about this Guild that you should probably know now that you're here. Let's go inside and et the others. That should help it all make sense."
When they ca inside, both Davis and Mick were busy with custors, so Karl took them straight to the second floor, where everyone but Remi and her new hires were waiting.
Both Orcs froze when they saw Rae, and the spider smiled at them in her humanoid disguise.
"Sir, no offence, but uh. You do know what that is, right?" Larry whispered.
"The Blood Destruction Demonic Spider? She's one of my partners. We've been together since she was just an adorable little emo hatchling Bloodbath Spider."
Rae nodded happily. "I made my first web in a separate space that his skill created. Don't worry, I'm quite civilized. Thor is the one that you need to worry about. He likes people far too much, and if you're not careful, he will talk your ear off."
Thor chuckled, and the two Orcs belatedly realized that Rae was not the only Magical Beast in the room.
"Are there others?" Larry asked.
"There is a Naga Queen around here sowhere, and a Ghostfire Thunderbird. You probably won't et Little Butterfly, but you'll see her illusions all over. And then there is Cara, whose hands are currently in your pockets."
The Orcs looked down, to find their pockets turned inside out, and a very disappointed Cara was preparing to put snacks in the empty spaces, just so the new arrivals wouldn't be so poor.
Larry and Darryl simply stared at the badger as she focused on fixing their pockets, then stuffing an entire cupcake in each.
Much better.
"Did she?"
"Give you a cupcake? Technically two, but they're a bit squished now, so you can call it one each." Karl agreed.
From the bottom of the stairs, Mick was laughing. She had seen Cara go to the kitchen for the cupcakes, and followed to see what she needed them for. She wasn't the sort to snack between als, so there had to be sothing going on with the new guys.
Darryl began to laugh, a deep throated one that made his whole body shake.
"I think that we are going to like this place. I had been afraid that being stuck in a city would be too boring and far from nature, but that's not the case at all. Plus, we're on the edge of the inner city, so it's not far to go out if we need so ti in the forest." He managed to stamr out while he worked to control his amusent.
Larry held his hands at his side and unequipped his robes, letting the smashed cupcakes fall into his palms so he could eat them without losing any icing.
"The cooks are spectacular as well. I have to give them this much, the Demons are much better cooks than the Orcs are." He added.
