Adventurers Guild Adventurer's Guild Quest Board

Oh no wheres today's E rank quest

found it sorry can I re use the story since it is already there i just nee a bit of tampering?

 

For the escort quest do i need a party members or it the solo quest

 

Good luck going off on your own~ or go to the tavern and look for a party

 

So, here I am. After being on the waiting list for this town first and newest adventure guild, I finally get my membership card! Upon leaving the reception desk, I notice an interesting quest attached in the quest board: "escorts party (maximum 10 AP).
So, I cancel my appointment with my friend to watch baseball match together. She didn't mind though, as she's also dead tired and want to go back home.

2 hours later, I'm out of town already with the caravan. I'm at the front row as my perfect eyesight can detect any strange objects within 10km radius. In the middle of our journey, I found the trap that the bandits put. Disarming it eventually trigger an ambush by the bandits.
"S#it! They hide in the Sands!"
The 4 bandits, as sly as their leader eventually attack the middle of the caravan with poisonous weapons and already start to kill the merchants.
Without further thought, I come towards them and swing my bats like a mad man. 1,2,3, bandits have fallen by my baseball bat. The remaining bandit, seeing me swinging furiously start to run away. Unlucky for him, I throw my baseball bat to him. This, has make him fell unconscious.
Well, eventually it's only a small party that left by galan. He's not participating as he's busy to prepare raiding the village nearby. The surviving bandit tell us everything about their group. Upon reaching the destination, I'll report this to the guild and take my rewards.
Casualties :
Merchant: 1 dead
Bandits: 3 dead, 1 unconscious.

 

--- Gather 20 healing grass (maximum rewards, 5 adventurer points)
@Luxadia & @RizYun

The seven adventurers decided to split their paths.
The reason for their decision was to divide the world into seven and to collect as much knowledge from all seven directions of this world. If you imagine a circle, then everyone of the adventurers will pocess 1/7, 51.42° of this circle and the world.

Every evening they would come together in the Giant Brawl Tavern, where they all first met.
Then they would share their 1/7 parts of the world with the rest and have a whole picture of the world. This is division of power, but with the advantage, of each doing little parts and gaining big wins for everybody.

If two or three, would work together, they would do 2/7 or 3/7 parts of the world together, which is more fun then doing alone 1/7, but still a reasonable division of power and labour.
Also these smaller pairs or tripplets, could use their synergy, which has to be trained afterall, because there are hidden, not so obvious synergies, which you often can't see with merely bare eyes. They can only be experienced through hard work and shedding sweat,tears and blood together.

For the herb quest, the walking enzyclopedia Nope gave all his teammates a book of herbs. In this book pictures of all kinds of herbs, their usage and explanations were neatly written down. In addition the Support Nope explained his comrades everything about the healing grass.

@Nope34 was an expert in gardening. He loved his flowers and dreamed of a worker for his garden. In his opinion a goblin would do the best work. He would of course feed the goblin and give him enough water to drink. With the help of Pukupyoo the Tamer, he hoped to find a fitting worker for his future garden.

Nope wanted to teach his friends, how to obtain these rare healing grass. They recently became so rare due to the many adventurers, who did the same healing grass quest. Nope really feared that this could destroy a big part of Riegenberg Town's flora, nature and ecosystems.

"Not only are these herbs used for medicine in Riegenberg Town.
These herbs have a sweet smell and give of a green hue in the moonlight. Bees love them and bears love the honey, which is produced with healing grass by the bees. Many insects love the taste of these herbs, too and grow big and strong from the good nutrition in these herbs. Birds, which ate these insects, are happy and healthy. And many species of birds would cease to exist, if all healing grasses were extinguished etc etc," the Support and gardener explained.

In order to not devastate Riegenberg's ecosystem entirely, Nope thought of a method to protect the herbs.
His way was to dig out the healing grass with their roots and put them into pots with earth. Then he would hide these pots in dangerous locations on mountains, in hidden places, or behind highly poisones swamps.

He finished the healing grass lesson with the last words: "Please only keep 20 herbs for each of you yourself and save all the other herbs that you see."

The adventurers thought of the best and safest ways of finding all required healing grass.
The Cleric Luxadia exclaimed: "We have some less combat oriented jobs, like Support(Nope), Tamer(Pyoo) and Cleric(me), which aid with debuffs, buffs, heals or familiars. Please help us 3.
We should not go alone. We need one to accompany each of us for our safety, because it is dangerous for us alone. Monsters or Beasts might lurk in the vicinity of the healing grasses."

Saying this Luxadia gave of a natural vibe of a leader. Everybody was glad to have somebody so thoughtful and reliable.
Naturally @Nope34 teame up with @pukupyoo, because Nope liked her and wanted her to tame a goblin for his garden.

@Luxadia went with @RizYun. The others @wraith, @FanzZeta and @VOLX98 went their on ways.

This night the moon was shining bright upon Riegenberg Town and it's grass fields. Since the many upcomming adventurers made the healing grasses rarer and rarer, the 7 adventurers had to look for the requested herbs for one or two hours.

Somewhere in the Northern Forests:
Luxadia and Riz were looking for herbs. It was easy for them.
Riz saw everything 4 kilometres around him with his eagle-eyes that he trained as a sniper.
Quickly they collected 65 herbs. 20 for both of them. They put the rest into pots and hid them, as Nope asked them to, in hidden or dangerous locations.

When Riz saw 12 hungry wolves approaching them. He carefully shot 5 of them. The remaining 7 wolves were angered and wanted to avenge their fallen brothers.
They ran towards Riz. As one was jumping on the Sniper. Luxadia jumped infront of Riz and slammed the wolf with his shield. Other approaching wolves he chopped with his maze.
Riz retreated a bit and could easily shoot the wolves now, which were hold in place by Luxadia. These wolves were no match for the tanky Cleric and the Sniper.
After hunting the 12 wolves down. Luxadia collected some wolf meat and edible grasses. Tomorrow he would cook a good meal for him and his comrades.

Tonight Luxudia and Riz were very tired after their expidition. They went into Riegenberg Town to sleep in a safe Inn. They had successfully collected all needed herbs. Soundly sleeping they dreamed of today and tomorrow:

zZZZZZ *snorr** zzZZZ

Tomorrow they would go to the alchemist shop in the town, deliver the herbs and bring back a stamp from the shop to the guild master @Ldyrdy as a proof.

To be continued....

 

you can find it linked on my profile..

 

you can do it solo.. just make sure you clear it wonderfully~ ehehe

 

uh.. whos' on your party again?

 

Did i clear it wonderfully enough?

 

There are 7 including me, @wraith , @Nope34 , @Luxadia , @FanzZeta , @pukupyoo , @RizYun and me.
But in this part that I just wrote I only wrote Luxadia and Rizyun collecting herbs together,
so if you can give them two the points for this healing grass quest it would be awesome

Can't be so greedy and take the points for all of us 7 so easily, also it is not easy to write it all, we will divide the writing among us 7.

Sry, if it is very confusing or complicated, if you have questions, just ask

 

well.. the quest detail will be notified at the end of the day.. hehehe.. i'll keep my mouth silent until then..

 

A lot...

 

haha alright~ thanks for you hard work guild master @Ldyrdy

 

Ah I didn't read yet, sry I only read it now, our party consists of 7 already.
We are full now.
Not because I don't want to add you to the party. It is not easy to manage and connect 7 stories haha
Sorry, thanks for applying though.
ALso, later we maybe will have a chance to work together on some quests.
But it is hard to say at the moment... my imagination is low
Anyways. Writing alone is really easy and fun. Try it @pirateking36 , you probably know and I don't have to say haha

 

Spoiler: Quest Gather 20 healing grass

after registering in the adventurers guild, it was afternoon there are less people in the guild and is very peaceful, I stand in front of the Quest board muttering to myself on which quest should I get.
there are 4 quest left on the board.

--- escort party (maximum rewards, 10 adventurer points)
quest detail: a merchant caravan will be travelling to another town, however a bandit has been spotted in the nearby vicinity and the chance of the caravan to be attacked is 99.99% so they will need some protection and battle with the bandit party will be inevitable. what adventurer's need to watch out is the bandit boss, "Galan" , a former E rank adventurer, thief class, has a vast knowledge about traps and poison.

Han:"hm.. which quest should I get? I just finished my apprenticeship to my master and have no real combat experience except for sparring with co-apprentices and teachers."
still contemplating which to get. I try to analyze the quest posted

Han: " this one is gathering seems easy enough but i don't know much about plants. these one is to kill Goblins never fought those so i need more details. this one is Scouting but orcs i seem out of league for this one. hmm escort i wonder, Should I join?"

after analyzing the quest. I found out that i lack much information about the items or monster that is request in the guild.thinking about this i remember that the receptionist said that if i have any question i should ask her.

so i went to the guild counter and ask the receptionist.

Receptionist: "Hi Newbie! how may I help you?"

I feel a little bit depressed when she called me newbie so I introduced my self.

Han: "Uhm.. my name is Han and I wish to ask where can I get information about the monster and materials of the E rank quest on board?"
Receptionist: "Oh! We have books about the different information about herbs, monsters and materials. since you are new here i can let you borrow the books for free but you need to buy or rent them next time."
Han: "Thank you uhm.... "
Receptionist:"Oh! i haven't given my name. My name is Cara nice to meet you Han."
Han: "Nice to meet you Cara. so where can i read the books?
Cara(Receptionist): "here are the books this one is for monster, this is for herbs,this is for places and this is for other materials like minerals etc., you can read them only inside the adventurers guild just pick any table you want. and oh please sign here so we can track the book after you finished reading just just let me know and i will let you sign out the books"
Han: "Thanks."

after picking a table i read the books about the quest I can take. after reaing i learned that.
the Healing Grass is found in the eastern forest and is not really dangerous with only wild beast around but even if they are just wild beast it is still better to be careful and ready.
the Goblin is found on the southern area near the swamp which are monster not necessary stronger than wild beast further the swamp is the place where Orcs are sighted

after reading the book i analyze quest I realize that
Han: "My only choice is Healing Grass huh."
since i can fight basic beast there and train my self for fighting monster and I can also earn quest rewards.

I return the books to Cara and sign out. after that i picked up the quest 20 healing grass which can be submitted before guild is closed.
Han: "I would like to take this quest"
Cara: "I see then sign here and this is your token so you don't need to pay fee to the entrance guard and here is the paper you need to give this to the alchemist and ask for stamp and evaluation. don't lose it, okay.Good Luck"
Han: "Yes. Thank you"

I immediately go to the eastern forest and roam around and saw a wild boar.the boar and i made an eye contact and i observed the enemy. it charges towards me without hesitation so i used flash step and use simple electric strike. flash steps allow me to move quickly from one point to another with lightning fast speed. electric strike works by assimilating electricity to my Shield-Claw-Gun(SCG) or my claw boots on the claw parts and punch or kick it through the enemy.I used my SCG caused it have longer claw so it can penetrate more to the boar skin.
after i hit in the back it collapsed and died from electric shock.

Han: "That was easier than i thought it would be."

I dig a hole and drained the boar blood there and after i covered it with soil, I dismantled the boar.
i felt hungry so i go near the hill where there is a small river and grilled some of the boar meat by cleaning it near the river and spreading salt i started a small bonfire and have a barbecue using the salted boar meat.

Han: "Not bad I might hunt for boar regularly if this is this delicious with just this salt :9."

after eating I checked and prepare my tools for digging the herbs
I walked around the hill and saw a tree near a rocky are and found it strange there are many big rocks but grasses and bushes are growing just fine. i try too look around the bounty full of bushes suddenly i remembered the they emit a faint sweet scent so go on all fours and sniff under the bushes. near the tree under the bushes a smell a faint sweet scent and look at it.
I tried to smell a couple of grasses and found out the these are tons of healing herbs. I rejoice and ready my self for digging

i quickly dig for the herbs and put them on the box in my bag.

Han: "hah. digging this herbs is harder than fighting the boar. This healing grass is much more delicate than the boar and needs to handle carefully or it will ruin the plant. (sigh).. if i only i knew it earlier that it will be like this i should have just chosen to kill goblins. well no regretting now."

after a few hours of digging i got to the town i showed the token and guild card to the entrance guard and looked for the alchemist/

Han: "Hi Mr. Alchemist! I would like to turn in the 20 healing grass according to the guild request post on the adventures guild."
Alchemist: "Oh you finished already. give the Healing grass"
after sniffing for quite a while the alchemist check it for damages.
Alchemist: ".. uhn. okay 20 Healing Grass is received.'
Han: "evaluation and please sign here."
Alchemist: "uhn. here show this to the guild to get your reward"

back at the adventurers guild

Han: " Hi Cara! here tje evaluation and the token."
Cara:"I will take this and you can keep the token it is necessity if you are an adventurer"
Han: "Can I realy have this?"
Cara: "Yes"
Han: " Thanks"
Cara: "Okay. your evaluation is above average here is your reward."
Han: "Thank you again."
Cara: "No problem. Just do your best clearing the quest okay."
Han: "YES MA'AM!"
Cara: " Good."

after that i went straight home and promised to my self "I definitely will be taking those Slaying quest tomorrow" after that because of exhaustion I immediately fell asleep.

 

A few minutes after obtaining my guild card, I decided to go check out the request board. After scanning the board for 10 minutes I found only 4 quest that I can accept right away at my current rank: Slay 10 goblin, Gather 20 healing grass, Scout the orc camp, Escort party.
After thinking it over I decided to do some herb picking first, I knew I had the strength to fight since I've been trained by my master, but my lack of experience is something I don't want to risk. So I went to the receptionist to borrow a plant encyclopedia to see what the plant looked like. After seeing what it looked like, I went to the grocery store and bought myself a leather bag to hold the grass and a shovel to help dig them out. After preparing everything, I looked up to the sky and saw that the moon was out, remembering the warning from my fellow guilds mate I hesitated to go. But the feeling of wanting to get it over quickly made me take the risk, so I reached the gates heading outside town. I showed the guard at the gates my guild card but I was suddenly halted by the guards.
"I'm sorry but I don't recommend for you to leave at this hour, monsters are quite active at night."
Hearing his warning I only smiled weakly, I know these people were doing it for my own safety so I didn't brush away their kindness.
*smile* "Thank you for you warning, I won't be fighting monsters and I won't be going too far from the gates so I should be fine. Also I'm an adventurer now, I will have to face danger soon so why not now~"
At my words, the guard showed a wry smile and seemed to have reluctantly let me go. I ventured off into the path while observing the sides of the road constantly. When I was about 20 meters away from the gate, it appeared. With a round body that was see-through, a liquid body that was the size of a volleyball. Yes, the thing that entered my view was the famous slime. Seeing it for the first time it didn't look that harmful, but in that split second of doubt it sprang up and crashed against my chest. The pain was like having a lead ball thrown at you at full speed, truly painful. I staggered back to keep my balance and when I finally regained my footing I saw that it was about to launch itself once more. This time I quickly side stepped and dodged the blow, I drew my sword and quickly slashed against the slime splitting it in half. when I thought it was over, I saw the two pieces of the slime slowly inch towards eachother and fuse back into one. Thinking I did no damage at all I quickly used my appraisal skill to check the status of the slime
Species: Slime
Hp: 18/20
Mp: 3/3
Atk: 5
Def: 7
Int: 1
Luk: 5
Seeing as I was able to deal some damage I was able to gain back some confidence, I readied my sword and charged towards the slime, as if sensing danger it tried to flee but before it could I quickly cast icicle rain and planning to skewer it. Dust rose as an aftermath but when it finally settled down I only saw a puddle and a red ball in the middle that was emitting a dim light, I went to pick it up but when I got closed to it, a sweet fragrance entered my nose, following this smell I found that nearby the nucleus were some seemingly normal grass that had a soft sweet smell. I then remembered that the reason I came here were for these so I took out my gloves and a trowel and began to collect all the nearby grass with the same scent. After filling my bag to the brink I got up, picked up the red stone and just put it in my bag thinking that I might be able to sell it at the guild. The day ended so I walked back to town and went inn searching.

Healing Grass then, no dangerous since North Forest only contain slime on outskirt, also Healing Grass is basic ingredient for alchemist apprentice to study making cheap potion. Why that Alchemist need it? Maybe for newbie apprentice? I heard Alchemist shop gain new member recently. Just Healing Grass is easy to recognize since old Master have teach me lot of such basic thing (￣︶￣). Is he truly a blacksmith?

This time Master give me a bag! Finally he give me something decent, but still not allow me bring a weapon why? He said I should make own weapon. That's the basic thing for blacksmith. Even I have success make short dagger he said it must meet his standard. You *beep*beep*beep*.

After confirm Quest I take today with suspicious looking pervert Ikemen on front office I head to North Forest. Hmm why today seem rather lively on road? Is that suspicious looking place gain lot member? Oh well never care about it as long as not bothersome it's fine.
Weird I meet no slimes so far. Are they run away? (￣▽￣) it's good~no more dirt from step on slimes. Wash it dirt is pain on .......

Let see none here none here either none. So there lot who take Healing Grass Quest huh. It can't be helped since it's easier to done. I need to round way to west part. Why west part? Healing grass like to grow near pure water and west part flow river from deep part of forest it's pretty pure.... maybe. After run for awhile I reach the river. It's called Riveria what a lame name~

Hee so it's true Healing Grass like to grow around pure water, there bunch of it on river bank. I just need 20 right? Let take around 30 I will make my own cheap potion for sell to buy snacks future supply. I wonder why it have nice smeel~ Master said it from absorbing pure essence from pure water. It contain property to enhance regeneration. So if you get some minor cut just put it on~ it will heal after few seconds~ Also it good for making perfume for fancy looking noble lady. It's easy to harvest it you just need pull along it roots and done. It's better tahn puling weeds on Master's house.
Why He ask me to clean house every morning? Am I a maid? Go hire one you pervert don't told me use weird thing every morning! I'm a Blacksmith not a Maid!

With my Katana has been fix, I go towards the guilds again, conform the quest board has been updated this is the new quest

I think think the escort party would be nice so I will take the quest..it will be risky though

<-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

having meet the merchant at the north gate of the city, we decided to depart now because it would take two hours to reach the another town.
On the way I ride on the back of the wagon, at that time there is no other people or merchant on the area.
Having chatting a bit with the merchant, the risk of become the merchant is high I learn, then I learn that I can buy some of the crafting item from him.
Then, on halfway the next town I see the man riding a wolf past through us... is that person an adventure like me.. is he already finish some of the quest?..
hmmmm...
after another hour ride that wagon I realize the area become more isolated.. there is no birds singing, no rabbit hopping around,
then I told the merchant to become vigilance of the area and we proceed cautiously toward the town..
then four man arms with short sword and dagger surround us.. with them there is someone who attire a little better then the rest speaking
"You better leave that wagon here or we kill two of you"
Maybe that Galan the quest talking about.
The other three laughing at us because of their boss already given warning to us.
I think there is no other option because even we flee we will be chase and kill.
so I go out of the wagon and make a surprise attack..
maybe the bandit do not expect the attack .. I manage to kill two of the bandit in one slash at the neck.
Galen got shock by the sudden event and stunned for a second..
I wont miss such an opportunity.
I make a first move, by swing my sword but he manage to evade because another bandit give him a warning.
But that is for to make him back a little bit.
My true intention is to target the other bandit.
Having parry my attack unready have make his form crumble and got pierce by my sword at the hearts.
Then Galan make an attack..
having parry that attack, my hands numb my the strong swing of the swords, but I fasten the grip at my sword.
I counter attack by kicking under his bally and make his form crumble..
Even the strongest man cannot endure when get kicked at the weakest part.
With that I cut his head with my swords..

its look like the trap that Galen set is further way from where we fight and I got lucky not getting any hit by his swords that got apply with poison..

<-------------------------------------------------------->

after escorting the merchant successfully I return to the guilds and give the letter that that merchant has gave me to the receptionist..

 

Previously...
----------------------------------------------------
"No changes here... this place is a miss. Better head back."

No matter how much one persevere, one's true nature will always win. My laziness got the better of me.... but it was proved lucky instead as I reached the guild.

Apparently, the goblins and orcs were related.

Since the details of the orc camp was not reported, I went on and continue my quest....

-----------------------------------------------------------
"Found it."

Utilizing my tracking and potion craft skill, I made a tracking potion using hair from @Zero300 's new mask.
This potion enhances my sensitivity to the hair, enabling me to be able to smell it's origins like a hound... the down side is the potion is a consumable. bleh~

I followed the scent, and by dusk reached a place quite far from the attacked village, but much closer to a bigger village.
Up in the trees, I observed the orc camp.

12-15 Orcs standing guard are visible from my range, all equipped with crude maces and axes.
A smaller group of 5 Orcs went to the direction of the attacked village. That small group seemed to lead a group of about 20-30 goblins.
By the looks, the orcs and goblins doesn't seem to cooperate. It is more likely that the orcs are using the weaker goblins to scout and make a diversion.

There are several crudely made huts placed around, but it doesn't feel like it's made by orcs, less likely the goblins.
I suspect that the orcs hold human hostages...

Estimating their numbers, the orcs should be around 50, including the group that left... but the amount of resources and the area of the clearing is enough to hold 300 orcs, and increasing.

There is a small cave nearby, but too small for the orcs. Probably the goblins' dwelling. It is quite separated from the main camp.
There is only one orc on guard. Spreading a sedative powder in the vicinity, the guard became groggy. I slipped in easily.

It was pretty desolate, as if the goblins have all been aired out. I went deeper until I heard sounds.
A familiar pungent smell wafted out as I get closer. Inside is what I expected.

There are several cells which hold human female captives. All stripped of clothing and have obviously bulging stomachs.
One girl is currently giving birth, a female goblin assisting her. In short moments, the new born goblin came out, the girl fainted, and the goblin moved the new born to a different cell which looked like a nursery. That girl is quite young and fresher compared to the others. The worse ones are not just covered in wounds and dirt, there are others missing limbs and seemingly rotting alive.

A cell next to it release an even more hideous smell. Likely the place where they get disposed off.
I cannot carelessly do anything, so I prayed these girls survive till they get rescued.

There are only a small number of goblins inside, taking care of the child goblins and the hostages.
I went out stealthily. The guard seemed to fall asleep already, and the trace of the sedative powder was gone.

There might still be hostages in the orc camp, but it is too risky to move inside.

I observed for a few more hours, and another group arrived.

A huge group of 120 orcs, and 5 merchant carriages that seemed to be stolen.
14 Human female hostages came out of 2 of the carriages and were led to one of the huts.
Even if I want to deny it, there is only one reason for the female hostages.

The orcs started moving and continued expanding their camp.

The sun is about to rise, I decided to retreat now and report to the guild.

Continue?

 

Ah sorry, yesterday i was so focused on making a story with the other 6 party members, i didnt read your commend :/
Now we are kind of full, and managing isn't so easy. Need to think alot and imagination

SO sorry and good luck further , a pity, youre a formidable sumoner
