Master Of None

"We appreciate the offer but word has already been sent for the guild to offer quests to multiple adventure groups." The guard still thought that they would be taking Walker's party off of another quest and knew that could hurt the standing of a young party no matter the level of the party if they gave up a quest.Â

"Let me check with out what quests our manager sent us," Walker said this and started to check out the system to find that the rewards for the quest issued were low. The funds needed to come directly from the guards' funds.Â

Walker found that Clara had strongly suggested this quest. It was partially because she knew that the party was traveling in this direction. The other reason was because it hit the identifies as a heroic quest which she was separating and making them more valuable for parties to take.Â

"Alright, I just selected the quest to slay five orcs. But there are additional rewards given by the guild for slaying more. " Walker said this to the party behind him then looked at the guards, "The Omnipotent party is here to slay some orcs. We will cross the river in the morning to slay a few."

The guards were stunned, the party in front of them had just contacted their manager and taken their quest without a blink of their eyes. Not only that but they had introduced themselves as the omnipotent party. "You are the party of heroes? Wait, I did see a little dragon with you." The guard was speaking without thinking and immediately ran inside shouting for his captain.Â

"I think you just sent that guard's heart in to the fastest it can beat." Remey had a smirk on he face while she watched the guard go running.Â

"I think he has to get the captain because someone who accepted their quest came. I doubt many other will accept it but it is natural for them to take it if there are good rewards from the guild. So maybe we will be the ones to prove it is worth taking. While the guard gets his captain let me read the quest to you guys." Walker pulled up the quest and read it from his system.Â

' Guardsmen quest: Slay orcs

The orcs are troubling the travelers that cross a common trade route bridge. The guards have requested adventurers come to slay them and make the route safer.Â

Requirements:Â

Skay five orcs

Additional orcs slain will be calculated by the adventurers guild.

Rewards:

15G per orc head

(1 heroic quest point for every 2 orcs)

Additional guild reward to be determined.'

"I see why there is a hard time to get adventurers to take it. The orcs are a dangerous monsters and the price on their heads is super low. But these are guards issuing the quest and they can't pay as a kingdom can. I bet this hasn't been processed by the castle yet and that is the reason." Gil was looking for the reason that this was the case and could only see it as this way.Â

"Makes sense. It is pretty lucky we decided to rest here then. We can easily trap and defeat a few of the orcs before we head out tomorrow. I also know we can cross the river a little more north at some rapids so we could stay on that side of the river and still be on course." Walker was recalling the image of the river from the maps he had read.Â

"Leader, that appears to be the captain." Su saw a taller man with slightly heavier armor come from inside the bridge barracks.Â

"I hear there is a party here to report for the porc slaying quest." The man came up and shook Walkers' hand firmly. "I am the captain of this guard unit and the bridge. I am pleased to meet you and thank you for your assistance." The captain was fairly polite and business like. He appeared to want to have this issue dealt with as soon as possible.Â

"My guards can not leave the bridge and we have slain a few orcs with the weapons at our disposal. That is the normal happenings of this position since many monsters will attempt to sneak across the bridge. However, we can do nothing to protect travelers on the other side. Therefore, I issued the quest with the finds that are allocated to us guards for such reasons."

"Then let us assist you. We should be able to deal with the orcs on our way north. We will just change our route slightly while dealing with them." Walker was happy to say this and felt the agreement of his party at his side. "We plan to leave early in the morning and will try to slay as many as we encounter. We will check in with you before we leave for more information." Walker said this and shook the guard captain's hand again. The guard captain was glad to see them resting first since the night was nearly upon them.Â

"Well, we have another quest to do. I hope we can manage to help them a lot." Walker said this more to encourage himself than anything.Â

"We will crush those smelly orcs in to the ground. I bet you can trap hundred if we need." Remey was all fired up since she would be able to keep using her defense breaking palm on the orcs to find their weaknesses and improve her use of it.Â

"Don't get too worked up. We may face more than we did earlier today. If we encounter five or six at once we will need to focus." Su was already thinking ahead to what they would need to do if they encountered many.Â

"We should relax for now. We have a fire, some roasted horned rabbit, and some new friends to talk to." Gil took the lead and changed the subject completely. No one knew if this was because he was hungry or because he wanted to sleep. The only one who didn't care was Midnight who wanted food.
