We Are Sappers! We Say Boom! [GH0905]
- Sponsor: Adventurer's Guild
- Location: Gelderholm Tunnels
- Required Level: 9
Objectives:
- Join the team of dwarven sappers.
- Escort the engineers behind enemy lines.
- Do not be discovered by the enemy.
- Ensure the successful bomb detonation.
You like explosions? You're joining the sapper team for today?
The depths of Gelderholm are a maze-like network of tunnels.
Today, the dwarf commander will be leading a strike force to Tunnel X.
Meanwhile, we'll take a different tunnel behind enemy lines and set our bombs! Kaboom!
The explosion will cause a cave-in and cut off enemy reinforcements. Yay!
Rewards:
- Points: 280 EXP
- Money: 35 G
- Other: n/a
She decided that she hate explosions. When she joined the sapper team, she just joined them because of a sense of obligation, not because she liked explosion. They accepted her with that reasoning, as the commander said that that text he wrote there was just a joke.
Technically, she believe that she could maintain the cut to enemy reinforcement alone. But, since her ice wall was not permanent, she refrained to do that. Not only it was not acid resistant, not blunt force resistant, heat resistant, but also if that woman and her entourage of water spirits came, she could see it being dismantled easily. Though, if that woman would come here, then it was already bad.
Shaking her head, she refocused her mind. Her role in this was as a scout. She had to relay the information for the area in the front while remaining in disguise while not attacking herself. The commander and his group of engineers would then set up their ambush.
---
"Undine one. Area clear." she reported. After receiving her report, the commander ordered them all to move forward. She herself continued her scouting duty by moving further along the planned route.
Complication arose when the next area has enemies in distance not so far from each other. She surveyed the area as she flew, her form as compact as possible. Three group of enemies, each group was not so far from each other. She believed that they would be alerted if the first group was attacked. Noting her observation, she returned with the intel.
As she arrived at the commander's place, she pointed out to the map where the location of each group was and their composition. With them being so close to the planned location, she thought that they could just break the stealth and charge there immediately. Though, she kept her opinion to herself. After she had reported all of her intel, she left.
After some time, the commander came with order for her to go to the enemy rear line and block them from retreating temporarily. She didn't have the attention to hear the engineer corps command, as she immediately went to her assigned location. What she knew was that the team would come to her soon.
With that, she set off. Her destination was the intersection between tunnel X and their tunnel. In that area, she was commanded to seal the area using her ice.
She did that. By expanding herself and creating a water wall in the middle of the enemy troops, she gained the enemy attention. Freezing it, she then fought to defend the wall.
'The enemy front line will notice it. I had to seal the area in front of me too, so the enemy don't spill tunnel X. If we give them time to realize that they are ambushed, the sappers must hurry here, so that the ambush won't fail.'
Only two of the sappers came. They said that the others was tied in combat at the moment, while they both were sent ahead. They then asked her to clear the way a little bit, so that they could put the explosives. She was conflicted. Some of the enemies had begun their attack from the two sides. As she reported the status of the enemy that was currently trying to destroy her wall, they stopped.
One of the dwarves asked her if she could make a staircase and let the position of the dwarf to be high enough to place the charge in the X tunnel. She tried and made the stair, along with the elevated ground for the dwarf. As she saw that the dwarf was giving her the signal that he primed the bomb, she opened the last layer of ice that was separating the dwarf to the enemies.
He immediately put it on the ceiling. He then retreated. As he finished coming out from her body...
Boom.
She was not yet fully transformed herself, and the explosion occurred there. The explosion destroyed the ice block she had made, sending them to the other direction.
Why did he set it to be so short? Her life almost ended as she evaporated, if it was not because of the layer of ice that took the heat firsthand. Her body was broken, as jagged ice block could be seen everywhere in the other direction of the tunnel. She saw some of them being struck by the ice block. As for the tunnel X, the explosion managed to collapse it.
After that explosion, the tunnel that the engineer corps was on was the only one connected with the enemy reinforcement. The other two dwarves has retreated at this moment, leaving her core very vulnerable. Taking to logical conclusion, they would also seal this tunnel after the two returned to the corps to prevent the reinforcement to pincer them from the back.
She hurried up.
Another explosion occured. Was she left for dead here? Did they think that she would not survive after the first explosion?
If she met that dwarf, she would strangle him. No matter what. With her spending almost all of her reserve water, she felt really naked as of now. With no way to make weapon, she could only take advantage of her small form and hope the enemy won't notice her.
---
She left. In the end, she had to go to the enemy back and reconnected with the lake water. That woman was there, saying cryptic things as if she was watching the whole thing, and asking if she wanted to join her. She guessed that with the woman having connection to the spirit, the woman could get the spirits' impression of her as she could with them. After she made her body, she returned to the city, leaving the woman.

She wondered if this was how it was to be eaten alive. As the stomach of the tunnel worm pressed against her body, she felt that her ice form started to melt as it was hot inside it.
it began from her carelessness, when she had followed into the tunnel worm's tunnel without much thought. So far, she could take the damage the hydra forces did to her (admittedly, she hadn't come into confrontation with that woman and her contracted water spirits. She was 80% sure if she did, she would be outmatched). So, she just walked inside with confidence. After all, how hard it could be?
imagine, when she walked inside, suddenly the tunnel worm came from behind her, and immediately took her inside its mouth. Not to mention, it decapitated her head and hands and tail and wings in one attack, and a part of her stomach too. Thus, her body was eaten inside the worm's stomach.
Because of that attack, she ended up with only 30% of her mass. Admittedly, that 30% was still larger than when she started out. Unfolding the water from her subspace, she reformed her body. She was less dense, true. But at least, she would be able to do it.
Thus, she just formed her hand into knife. The acid melted her water and contaminated her body as it poured on her. With one swing, she stabbed on its stomach walls.
the walls contracted, pressing her body from all direction except the head and tails. She had no leverage at all to swing her knife. Thus, she created an ice spike from her body to attack the walls. That would tell it to not press its body to her.
She felt acid coming from her tail direction. As it mixed with her body, she wondered if she become acidy instead watery now. But she never called herself poisony either. She banished the thought. She had to kill this creature that ate her.
She compressed herself. jutting an ice knife from her body, she began to cut along the walls. It thrashed as she bled it from inside. She continued to cut it until it stopped moving. with all the blood mixed with her body, could she call herself bloody from now on?
She came out. Expanding herself, she began to work on the scales, harvesting it.
Finally, it ended. with scales frozen inside of her body, she returned to the guild.

"I can't...Watery? Are you doing this on purpose? Are you trying to...?" I began lecturing her while telling her how her carelessness could've left her dead

Watery came out of the guild building. She just need to find someone who needed her help, right? Thus, she began to wander around the city.
She remembered that the people here need water, thus, couldn't she let her water be their drink? With that, she returned to the guild to ask for barrel.
The guild did ask if she wanted to take the quest to fetch the snow. Seeing that it was troublesome if she had to explain it, she nodded. After taking the barrel, she then went to behind the guild building, bringing the barrel with her.
So... she looked at herself. Since she arrived at gelderholm, she only took the water from the poisonous lake. So, her body must be poisonous, right? Then, she had to eliminate the poison first. forming herself into a sphere, she spun the water inside her body. Spin... spin... spin... she had to spin faster. faster... faster...
So, watery end up into a spinning water ball. As she has no control on the floating material inside her body, they end up pushed out out of her body. With her body no longer filled with impurity, she filled the barrel.
Then, it is time to peddle the water.
---
the quest did say someone. Though, when she shouted in the town, asking if anyone needs water, she was swarmed. Thankfully, they believed her excuse that she is someone with a subspace skill, and her excuse that she brought the water from scribel. That way, she refilled the water in the barrel in the open. She was afraid that they would not drink the water from her body (even though her body is pure water), but it was not so.
When no one asked for water anymore, she returned to the guild, returning the barrel and the water.

Nothing like a good day to die ha---do the impossible, I mean. After all, cities weren't built in a day, and it takes time for a snowball to form an avalanche. She was going to start off somewhere, so might as well.
When you gotta do stuff, might as well do it well. If you treat it sloppily, the results will treat you sloppily, and who knows how it will come back to bite you down the line. If you try hard enough, anything can happen.
That adage was from someone she utterly despised. Unfortunately, it also made a lot of sense, so Ellania ended up taking it after all. However, she wasn't just content with good; she wanted to be the best, and so the message ended up turning into something else instead.
If you're gonna drop someday, then might as well do it! Scared of mundanity? Then bet your life and do something amazing!
While this meant that Ellania wasn't scared of dying, it unfortunately meant that she didn't see why other people should have a problem with it either. That was a small problem that was going on right now.
"Fire, fire!"
A few hours ago, she and a bunch of dwarves had entered the cavern to carry out this stupidly difficult task, virtually without support. They had a grand total of one cart of supplies provided, and that was all the backup they would be receiving for potentially the next twenty four hours. Ellania rolled her eyes.
If they're really worried about this place, why not send more people? A measly sized force will not have much chances of succeeding. It's true that if this works out, then the numbers on the paper will be nicer, but...between an often-repaired flood wall and one that's held for decades, even fools would know which would be safer. But the lucrative nature of stopgap measures are...fine, I'll do it myself.
She waited until the dwarves were finishing off another round of monsters, and slipped away quietly. Her aim? One round around the whole cavern.
It took a while, but her absence was finally noted.
"Old man! That girl's gone missing."
"...I see."
"...Aren't we going to go look for her?"
"No. We'll have to pray she stays alive until rescue comes. Our job is to hold down this place."
"...You're right."
For afar, a smile.
Well done.
Six hours in.
"We're running out of arrows! And the enemies are starting to overwhelm our melee fighters!"
"Use the firebombs! But sparingly! Aim for huge crowds only!"
"Old man! The horde on the right side is thinning!"
"Good! Lads, finish off the right side first, then concentrate everything on the left!"
"Understood!"
Eleven hours in.
"Old man! Some of us are starting to drop!"
"Pull them back to safer areas! We'll start switching in and out for breaks ten at a time! Ration the arrows and firebombs remaining, and watch yourselves! We can't afford people to start getting wounded now!"
"Understood! Put your backs to it, guys!"
"Raaaaah!"
Sixteen hours in.
"They've broken through! Retreat, retreat!"
"Grab the injured and go! Those who can still stand, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to cover for the rest! You guys, make haste to the tunnel we came from! Reinforcements will reach that place the fastest!"
"Got it, old man! Make sure you don't die!"
"Bwah! I'll live longer yet before kicking the bucket, fool! Now go!"
Twenty one hours in. The sounds of combat were trickling to occasional shouts and striking of metal. The ringing of explosions had died down and the old dwarf slumped against a ruined wall. He barely reacted when footsteps walked over to where he was resting.
"Oi oi, don't just lay down and die now. You've come so far, haven't you?"
The tired old dwarf lifted his head, expecting to see either nothing at all, a hallucination, or one of those pesky snakes that could mimic human voices. Instead, he found himself staring at an not-unfamiliar face.
"...Ah, lass, you're still alive. Good, good...run and hide away somewhere, and maybe you'll live..."
The girl knelt in front of the dying dwarf, snorting indignantly, and propped his head up, staring at him in the eyes.
"What are you talking about, old man? Have you finally gone senile? Or do I look like nothing but a runner to you? Go on, take a look and tell me what you think."
No sooner had the old dwarf done as she asked did he recoil, partly out of fear, partly out of instinct.
"...Those are some chilling eyes, lass...I haven't, no...I have seen those kind of eyes once before, back when I was a young lad...back then I thought I'd imagined it, but now I see it's not as imaginary as I'd like to believe...who?"
"Sorry, that's a secret."
"...Ah, I see. Then, can I ask you of one thing, if you don't mind hearing out this dying old dwarf's last wish?"
"If it's not too troublesome, I suppose I could consider it."
"Hahaha...it might be a little too much to hope for, then, but lass...could you see to it that the lads didn't waste their lives for nothing? There's still a couple of firebombs left..."
There was quiet. The old dwarf waited, expecting to hear outright rejection. Instead...
"Pffffft...Bwahahaha! I was expecting something else, but of all things you ask for vengeance! Now, let me ask you something in turn---where do you think I'd been during those twenty or so hours? The exit remains securely sealed, by the way."
"... You don't mean to say..."
"Yep, that's exactly what I meant. Rejoice, for with all the hours you've brought me, I've had enough time to complete preparing everything twice over. I'm no genie, but given enough time I can still fulfil a wish or two. So, be proud. You've earned this miracle yourselves."
Seeming to be holding something invisible in her hand, Ellania grinned smugly and brought her thumb down.
Then hundreds of explosions rocked the cavern simultaneously, and the old dwarf died with a smile on his face.
"Glad to see a few of you still alive, lass. You must have been through a lot."
"Oh, not really. I didn't do nearly as much as the ones that gave their lives fighting in there. By the way, regarding the burial..."
"It'll take a while, but we'll dig all of them out and give them the proper rites. Still, that must have been one hell of a collapse, isn't it? You must have been really lucky to be one of those who didn't get caught in it."
"Mhm, perhaps. Well then, I'll be taking my leave first. Bye-bye."
Whistling, Ellania left, her light steps befitting her light mood as she casually made her way to turn the report in.

Plugging the Breach [GH0901]
Sponsor: Adventurer's Guild
Location: Gelderholm Tunnels
Required Level: 9
Objectives:
Prerequisites: Repairing the Dikes
Prerequisites: Flower of the Blood Fields
Swim in a flooded tunnel to the site of the leak.
Seal and repair the breach in the wall.
Assist the engineers with draining the water.
If we want to be able to retake any of the flooded tunnels...
The first step is to drain the water. We must plug the leak in the tunnels.
Are you good at swimming? Dive into the tunnel and locate the breach.
The water could be poisoned, so make sure you have a Bloodbane antidote.
If you encounter an underwater serpent... may the gods bless your soul.
We will always remember you for your bravery.
Rewards:
Points: 280 EXP
Money: 35 G
Other: n/a

The underwater serpent was within her domain as it swam within her. She honestly didn't care for it. They couldn't move at all, as she sealed the breach with her ice and absorbed all the water. The serpent, without the water to swim, was unable to do any meaningful resistance as she killed it. "You think it would be that easy?"
She felt interference in her control. The ice she made had forcefully phase shifted into water, and the water flooded once again. She tried to assert control over the water. But, the woman's water spirits asserted theirs too, and she couldn't fight against eleven of them. "I'm bored of waiting. So, join me now."
As she felt their domain enroached on her body, she moved to escape, taking as much water as she could before they assert their dominance on her. She reformed herself, making herself denser and denser as she shove as much water as possible into her subspace. The tunnel was flooded once again, and she had no solution like before.
How could she let the engineer do their work, when she couldn't assert her control? She had to separate the water somehow, making a permanent fortification not made of ice, and separate them. As for herself, right now she couldn't swim inside it, not without her being controlled by them. She guessed that she couldn't do this mission after all. She reported to the engineer commander, saying that it was impossible for her to do it right then.
"So, you say that the hydra side have people like you too?"
she nodded.
"They can do the same thing as you? Making themselves as small as you have once, changing themselves?"
"Yes. that woman and her water spirits used the woman's spell to make a breach on the wall. As we both control water, I cannot have control when I have 11 of my kind opposing me. Not to mention, I am made of water as you see. The chance of me being controlled by them is not zero if I enter the water right now."
"That's a problem, indeed. You have been pretty effective the few times we partnered, but if we cannot find the solution for this..."
"I know. I am asking for the cancellation of the mission. It is impossible for me right now."
"Alright. Let's go back."
---
"Watery, I've given the report to our general. They asked me to bring you to them."
Why? Hasn't she reported her finding to the commander? He clarified many details about it on the way back. She honestly didn't know any more than that. "Why?"
"They ask for you to meet our magician. My report is secondhand, so they wanted to ask you directly."
"Alright." Watery answered.
She followed the man, followed by two soldier behind her. She was brought into a room in the base. One of the soldier was missing from the place, while the commander waited there with her and the remaining soldier.
After a few minutes passed, the door opened. She saw the previous soldier entering, followed by two person. One of them was wearing the same uniform as the commander, while the others was wearing a flowing purple robe with a hood that was lined with gold color. She almost laughed at the sight of a dwarf using robe like that. With their short and muscular body, that robe was practically dragged on the ground. The arm also seemed to be almost bursting from the robe.
"Well... Watery, this is our magician. Galznakk. Can you tell me the story from the start to finish?"
She told them her first encounter with the woman, as she joined with the lake where the woman resided. How that woman was casting a spell to breach the tunnel by herself, how that woman and her kin noticed her, and the woman asked her to join them. She said that she refused her. Then, she told him a few more encounter where the woman let her go as she was connected to the lake. It was then, when she was trying to plug the breach, that the spirits under the woman turned hostile against her.
"Honestly, the answer is simple. For us, we need the antidote if we want to swim there and confront the woman. But for her? That is not necessary at all. Well... I'm sure that she'll be overwhelmed when fighting against that person. So, we don't need to confront her."
"Get to the answer, please."
"It is as simple as to make her a spirit user. Since the woman's spell array forcibly transform the spirits under her employ, we just need to transform it back."
"But, isn't it inherent ability of water spirit like her to make the water their domain?"
"Yes. Simply because of that, that I am confident in my theory. Say, Watery. Are you only one droplet of the water, or are you this whole body?" The man asked, he seemed assured of his knowledge.
"The whole body." The man's face looked smug.
"See. For example, this is Ice bolt array." The man summoned a magic circle in front of them all. "If I push my mana through it, it will be reformed into an ice bolt."
An ice bolt came out from the array and shot to the wall. The man beside her looked annoyed, but didn't say anything.
"So..." the robed dwarf said, "A spirit user have the advantage of using spirits as the fuel of their spell instead of mana. That makes them pretty efficient in their battle. But the basic theory held. Using the energy through the array to manifest a phenomenon, that was what the woman do."
"So, you are saying if Watery make an array, and they passed through it, they will be converted into her magic?"
"Close, but not quite. If they are just enroaching her, this is true. They will be converted into energy for her spell. They can resist the transformation, of course, by disconnecting from her array. So, as long as they don't want to be converted, they will avoid her array."
"Then, the other case?"
"I'm getting to that. The problem is when she faced a spirit that has been transformed through an array. She had to reverse the transformation first before she can manipulate the spirit. That means she has to reverse engineer the enemy's spell array. Well... you would have to study for two years at the least before you can competently use this method, Watery."
---
With the man's tutelage, she was able to cast her first spell, water ball, after studying for ten days. following the man's method, she manifested the array for water ball around her as she transformed into her ice form.
"Since you have to manipulate the water too, you have to open up your domain, but not letting it touching the spell array. Else you will be converted to water ball, instanteously in your case, as you are the caster. Gauge the enemy, but not by expanding your domain. Use your head. When you are sure they are not around you, only then you should open your array and let you control it. Then, you have to freeze it and deploy the water ball spell array. The woman will have to counter that by transforming the spirit into a phenomena. Now, maintain this ice wall by using your own ice manipulation, as that is the only thing that you can do now. Let the engineer work after you absorbed the water around you. After they are done, go back."
She began her first phase. She deployed the array around her body, without a gap in them. She then entered the water.
"So... have you decided to join me?"
She keep her domain separate to the water, only limited to her ice body. She swam to the breach location. As she moved forward, she felt one of her array reacted. Knowing that the spirit was trying to enroach her domain, she felt happiness as she felt the spirit detached itself from her array.
"That's a neat toy you have, little spirit."
She deployed more array around her. This was her solution to the sensing of the water spirit the woman command. The arrays she had reacted, and went inert again and again. She overlaid the location behind the breach with her array. As she felt no more reaction, she began her second phase.
At this point, she didn't know how much of the water spirits was beside the woman. She deployed her array in the woman's side of the breach. As she didn't know how much of the woman's water spirit was beside her, she began to freeze the water, absorbing her own side.
"So that's your plan. I see... Then, you will defend against my attack using that ice wall of yours. Well... you are your ice wall too, remember?"
This was bad. her current side has been drained of water, and the scout at the top has signaled them to move. She could hear the engineer team move. Could she defend her ice while being converted into the woman's spell?
She felt herself sucked into the array. The spell array the woman deployed was trying to transform her into the woman's spell. The spell was deployed inside her ice, which meant she had to disconnect from her ice. She wanted to blame the magician for his confidence of his plan. Though, she blamed herself for trusting that magician.
'Only one thing to do.' She thought.
She extend her domain further than the ice wall. As she was in front of it, she made her domain smaller as she was in front of it.
"So, you came out yourself. Well... can you defend that ice wall against this?"
The woman began her attack. She deployed a lot of spell array around her, limiting her movement. She herself only focused to make the water she was colder and colder. She knew that she would lose in contest of strength against the woman, thus, she wanted to freeze as much water around her as layer against the woman's attack. From around the woman, she began to see the spirits transformed.
11 of them, and she couldn't do anything but defend. The only target was at her, or at the ice wall at the back. How then? How could she fight her? How could she protect them?
She was desperate at this point. The woman turned some of the water spirits on her into a large icicle. She didn't know. How? How? She constructed a water ball array. She didn't have any idea what would happen when she did this. Would she die? would she still be alive?
She became a water ball. passing through the array, she didn't know what happened. Only after she reformed herself that she realized that she was launched as a water ball attack.
Looking at her back...
It was too much. Kuzzey, Tolle, Miguel, Nicol... their corpse floated there as the ice wall was breached. The engineer corps she had spend her time with in Gelderholm, they were dead...
"See? I've shown you that it is futile to fight against me. Now, choose. You can join me or you can die here with them, which one do you choose?"
She chose revenge. She dug her memory, about the lesson on how to construct spell circles. Modifying the array of the water ball, she launched herself above. As she regained her consciousness, she constructed another array. This time with different parameter. She believed that that woman knew how to deconstruct her array. Thus, she varied its construction as she turned herself to water ball magic again and again.
Escaping through the tunnel, she returned, reporting about the mission failure.

> > >
The underwater serpent was within her domain as it swam within her. She honestly didn't care for it. They couldn't move at all, as she sealed the breach with her ice and absorbed all the water. The serpent, without the water to swim, was unable to do any meaningful resistance as she killed it. "You think it would be that easy?"
She felt interference in her control. The ice she made had forcefully phase shifted into water, and the water flooded once again. She tried to assert control over the water. But, the woman's water spirits asserted theirs too, and she couldn't fight against eleven of them. "I'm bored of waiting. So, join me now."
As she felt their domain enroached on her body, she moved to escape, taking as much water as she could before they assert their dominance on her. She reformed herself, making herself denser and denser as she shove as much water as possible into her subspace. The tunnel was flooded once again, and she had no solution like before.
How could she let the engineer do their work, when she couldn't assert her control? She had to separate the water somehow, making a permanent fortification not made of ice, and separate them. As for herself, right now she couldn't swim inside it, not without her being controlled by them. She guessed that she couldn't do this mission after all. She reported to the engineer commander, saying that it was impossible for her to do it right then.
"So, you say that the hydra side have people like you too?"
she nodded.
"They can do the same thing as you? Making themselves as small as you have once, changing themselves?"
"Yes. that woman and her water spirits used the woman's spell to make a breach on the wall. As we both control water, I cannot have control when I have 11 of my kind opposing me. Not to mention, I am made of water as you see. The chance of me being controlled by them is not zero if I enter the water right now."
"That's a problem, indeed. You have been pretty effective the few times we partnered, but if we cannot find the solution for this..."
"I know. I am asking for the cancellation of the mission. It is impossible for me right now."
"Alright. Let's go back."

She didn't know how to feel about this place. On one hand, she felt like gelderholm has became a painful memory for her. On the other hand, this place was crawling with pirates. Like the one in front of her.
"Hey, lass! give us all of your money, and we'll think of letting you go! how about it?"
They were annoying. She had transformed into her ice form, trying to disguise herself. And then, she had to encounter them?
"You're blocking my way." she spoke.
"Hah! The lass got spunk!"
They were wasting her time. She just wanted to rank up for now. Not bothering with pirates like them. Who suggested her to go here, again? Right, that receptionist.
This was the only place she could go to for now. Thus, first, she had to get rid of this annoyance.
"Move."
"Well... guys. Hold her hand. Let's show her what would happen to those who oppose Ildoa Pirates, right guys!?"
"Ou!" They cheered.
That's it. She was done playing nice.
---
This is the right building, is it? There was only one girl there, sitting. the girl was caring for her nails at the moment.
"Adventurer guild?"
"Yes. can I help you?"
"I want to join this branch."
"Ok. Done."
"No paperwork?"
"No."
"Where's the quest board?"
only at that moment, the woman looked away from her nails, and looked at her.
the woman then bring a book from under the desk.
"See for yourself."

It was her first quest here. As she had encountered the pirate, she gave her report to the woman.

I took quest A0402 today. It was to last for a week and I had to report to the city barracks for training. The training was conducted by a very grizzled looking human male. He said he was from the Holy Human empire and was in Albatross to help train the group in counter terrorism movements. Supposedly the Eastern lizardmen are being supported by a large criminal syndicate or something. Anyway there was a mock village that had had a raid committed against it. We had to track the raiders down and slaughter them like the dogs they were. Well not slaughter but incapacitate as harmlessly as possible with the weapons we had been given. The fight was bland. I barely did anything after following the tracks and basically leading the way. Lately everything has been a bore I wonder what exactly is going on. I barely seem to be functioning at any capacity.
That took up the first two days the next 5 were on assaulting fortresses and where led by a lizardman instead of the holy human empire man. It seems drills go in that order constantly and the troops are rotated in and out of it as things go on. Meh at least I won't have to do anything more. The final exam was a mock combat the winners would pass the trial one group was the bandits who were allowed to do what ever after the raid on the mock village. The other group was the tracking party and the village defenders. I was assigned to the village defenders and ambushed 5 bandits after having hid under one of the beds. In the end we won though the town was taken and we were all *killed* inside of the town but that was to be expected of the situation especially since the trackers weren't released until the town was taken.
AIEO still has the completely bland facial expressions and her eyes still seem like they see right through the person.

"A'right, you want to join our crew?"
No. Your crew is trash. "Yes."
"What can you do?"
"Whose ship do you want to sunk?"
"Oh... that's some boast. Let's prove it, shall we?"
---
"That's Majin Z pirates. sink their ship, and I'll consider you to be part of my crew."
She saw the ship. It's time for her to work. She dived into the ocean and used her hydrokinesis to accelerate herself inside the water. While it was possible for her to work the ocean water from this distance, she wanted to hide her abilities a little. Thus, as she arrived at the ship's underbelly, she created her ice bolt, and propel it to ram into the ship.
one hole.
Again, she did the same to other section of the underbelly. as she continue to make hole under it, the ship started to sunk. Mission complete, she returned to the captain.
"Done."
"well, you weren't kidding. Next test. Fight Johnny here."
"To the death?"
"Well, if he was not alive, he is not worth it."
She jumped down, into the sea.
"So... if your ship is sunk, can I join you? I'll drown him from here."
"Wa... wait! You're accepted! no need to sink the ship!"
She wondered if a ghost ship exist? Joining them must be more interesting than joining this wimpy pirate crew.
Phase one, done.

APPRAISED
Today it's time for another tunnel worm subjugation. Just like last time, I borrow some sealant and enter the mines, my eyes sweeping the area for any signs of tunnel worm activity. But it seems like this area, at least, is safe. I proceed further down the mines, before suddenly stopping. Before me, a rock mite scurries across the tunnel. And what do you do with rock mites?
That's right! I charge forward and kick it, flinging the small creature across the tunnel. It impacts the stone wall with a satisfying crunch, it's shell failing to protect it from the impact. Whistling a happy tune I stroll onwards, as the crushed corpse falls down onto the floor next to me with a wet splosh. Ugh, the smell...
It is only later that I notice that some of the thing's blood splashed on my boots - and any attempts at cleaning them are unsuccessful. If anyone asks, the grey-ish color on my boots is a new fashion, okay? Anyway. I proceed through the mines, squashing lone rock mites every now and then. But, finally, I guess? Finally, as I turn around a corner, I chance upon a lone snake. Within a second, I have its head impaled on my sword. Now, this is promising. Snakes here mean nearby tunnels.
I proceed to search the area and manage to find the tunnel after a brief search. Rocks and sealant quickly block this entrance for the snakes, and as I continue onwards, more careful than before, I notice the faint rumbling of a tunnel worm approaching me. As I roughly know what to expect, I ready myself, taking the plow guard and listening in on the rumble to find the right moment to jump away. Then I notice that the sound seems to come from the side... that's new. But not a real problem.
And the time... is now! I jump backward while angling my sword for the thrust beneath the worm's scales, successfully evading the worm's "surprise" attack and thrust my sword beneath its scales from behind, and proceed to tear off its scales while moving closer to the wall. The worm struggles, wiggling its mouth around while trying to get to me, but can't reach me where I am due to its flexibility being limited due to the thick, overlapping scales. Or in other words... kill it before it escapes!
With a grunt, I bury my sword in the spot where I tore off its scales before pulling it towards me, cutting open the worm's bowels, its organs spilling to the ground in front of me. Remember what I said about the grey on my shoes? With it being fashion? Add red to that. And black. In fact, I am tempted to sell my shoes as some sort of art piece just to get rid of them. And make a profit. The way the various kinds of blood overlay and fuse together... yuck! I mean, fascinating! Any art-lover should consider buying these unique shoes!
I finish the rest of the quest without anything special happening, gathering the worm's scales and returning to the guild while admiring the colors on my shoes before handing in my report. Now, let's see if I can't find someone interested in the... uh... masterpiece my shoes are. Yeah. Masterpiece.
That's right! I charge forward and kick it, flinging the small creature across the tunnel. It impacts the stone wall with a satisfying crunch, it's shell failing to protect it from the impact. Whistling a happy tune I stroll onwards, as the crushed corpse falls down onto the floor next to me with a wet splosh. Ugh, the smell...
It is only later that I notice that some of the thing's blood splashed on my boots - and any attempts at cleaning them are unsuccessful. If anyone asks, the grey-ish color on my boots is a new fashion, okay? Anyway. I proceed through the mines, squashing lone rock mites every now and then. But, finally, I guess? Finally, as I turn around a corner, I chance upon a lone snake. Within a second, I have its head impaled on my sword. Now, this is promising. Snakes here mean nearby tunnels.
I proceed to search the area and manage to find the tunnel after a brief search. Rocks and sealant quickly block this entrance for the snakes, and as I continue onwards, more careful than before, I notice the faint rumbling of a tunnel worm approaching me. As I roughly know what to expect, I ready myself, taking the plow guard and listening in on the rumble to find the right moment to jump away. Then I notice that the sound seems to come from the side... that's new. But not a real problem.
And the time... is now! I jump backward while angling my sword for the thrust beneath the worm's scales, successfully evading the worm's "surprise" attack and thrust my sword beneath its scales from behind, and proceed to tear off its scales while moving closer to the wall. The worm struggles, wiggling its mouth around while trying to get to me, but can't reach me where I am due to its flexibility being limited due to the thick, overlapping scales.

"You don't have to come back here anymore."
The woman gave her the quest, the hidden symbol.
"Just learn from that. write this symbol on your report and burn it. Just the symbol will do. I'll intercept it with my magic. Understand?"
She nodded.
"Alright. Go away and don't come here anymore."
She left.

Niror after spending a few days familiarizing herself with the forest and the trails thinks she is ready for her next quest she is going to do. She’s going to guide a group of people through the forest, to get to an outskirt town nearby. Nodding to herself as she walked to the guild to see how many in the group she is going to go with the forest with. As she arrived she met with a small group of four people - at least it wasn’t six or larger.
She smiled as she got to the group, as a large man looked over. “You are going to be our guide?” He huffed, as he thought she was too small to be a guide, especially she looked like she was six. “That’s right, sir.” Her former working with difficult adventurers will surely help with this older gentleman. He kept staring at her before giving a faint nod. “Alright, our lives are trust to you then.” He stated, but she could see he still doesn’t fully trust her, which isn’t a surprise.
She nodded slightly before turning motioning for the group to follow her. “We’re going to go slow so it won’t attract monsters unless you have to be in a hurry.” She peered over as she walked, as the group shook their heads to her question. She returned a nod as they made their way towards the forest.
As they traveled relatively fast to make it to the Asteria Village in one day, as well as taking breaks it was a peaceful time. She doesn’t know why they wanted to go through the western forest but she won’t say anything, peering around the trees for any signs of monsters or other humanoids.
Arriving at the village she turned to the group smiling. “It was nice to get to know you all, but now if you excuse me.” She bowed waving to the group as she started to run back to the city, she has other quests she wants to do on the way - her next stop will be the northern forest after turning in her quest and report and resting for a little bit.

This time I went to the owphanage! There were lots of childwen there! We'd play lots and lots!
No, I mean! I will take cawe of them! Ewde is a responsible giwl! I can take care of childwen!
I reached the owphanage and told the nice lady there, a big big giwl named Tabea that I'd take care of them for her! But she looked at me like... Like I couwdn't do it at all!!!
But then like, we heawd some shouts, like, big loud shouts! Fwom the children! I flew there before Tabea reached them and saw two childwen fighting ovew who would be the one to thwow watew at the plants with theiw new toy... That's bad!
I fwew neaw them and scolded them! "Bad childwen! Bad! Plants need to be taken care of with love! Not hatwed! If you don't like youw fwiend, then the plant won't like you!"
The childwen stopped fighting and looked at me with awe, I'm supew good, ain't I?
But then they were like! Rushing towawds me! Scawy! They're too big! I need to fwy away to not be cwushed!
So we spent the day playing tag, then hide and seek, then jump rope and then then then then... Then Tabea called us fow food! And it was like, supew tasty! She even gave me some giant cookies to munch on! It was sooo good!
Aftew that she thanked me fow keeping watch ovew the childwen while she took care of the house, so she told me I did a good job at the qwest and could take my rewawd... Oh yeah, I took a qwest! Yay me!
So I fwew back to the guild tired and wrote this... And now I'm going to sleep, the top of that twee looks really pwetty, so I'll go there, bye!
