Nilla cleared his throat to get their attention from the Guild Store, where he was standing in the shade.
"There was an attack in Gathuzan, on the southern peninsula, if you would like to go there. It’s not far from there to Nerud, where Lady Rae wants to go find spiders." He suggested.
"Or you could go to Zararag. They had some major attacks, but the Dwarves are known to like staying within their caves, and not clearing the wilderness. That might be a better option than the Dragon lands, where the population flies everywhere for fun." Deve suggested.
The Dwarves on the crafting team nodded in agreement. The Druid made a good point. The dragon nations definitely had the advantage in detection.
Cara transformed so she could speak to the others. "We should go to Nar, and then work our way south. We can do the big tour of the western islands and hunt everything."
"Nar? To the old Royal Capital? That’s a good idea, the whole northern region is densely populated, and that should make it more likely to have been attacked.
They’re mostly dragons, so they will have hunted the edible stuff already, but there might be more left." Deve agreed.
Cara nodded happily. "Yes, let’s go to Nar. And then tour south. We can see dragons and dwarves, and Elves, and spiders. It will be wonderful, and we can help while building a good reputation for the Darklight Host."
Tessa stared suspiciously at the badger. Altruism was not one of her known personality traits.
There was definitely a motivation behind her enthusiasm, but she couldn’t decide whether it was related to their trip with Misty, or to the aftermath of the attacks. What attacked that area? Was it something that would attract Cara?
"We should ask Hugo, he’s been there plenty of times." Deve suggested.
Karl focused on the portal spell, and found that he shouldn’t have a problem opening one to Nar Castle.
"I think I can take us there. As long as things haven’t changed from the last time that I was there, it will be fine." He offered.
Rae cheered. "Wandering monsters, here we come."
Nachtia’s eyes lit up with the power of the Death God, which Karl took as a good sign, so he opened the portal, and stuck his head through to make sure he was in the right spot.
It was still the entrance to the Royal Palace, just as he remembered it, though there were many renovations done, and the Palace looked much different.
"Halt, who goes there?" A guard demanded as Karl stepped through.
"Wait, should I transform into something different? What is the policy on that? Whatever.
Greetings, I am Karl, Drodh Branch Leader of the Darklight Host, and Avatar of the World Dragon."
Behind him, Cara laughed as she came through, then shrunk herself with [Unobtrusive Behemoth] to sit on his shoulder.
The guard stared at Karl, trying to determine if his words were true, so Karl let the title show. There was no title for Avatar, but he could easily prove that he was a Guild Leader.
"State your business." The guard insisted.
