《In an RPG World》Chapter 2.8 (old)

I was then shown to my new living quarters, well for my time being in the Vale. It was the main guest chamber on the third floor used to receive important guests - a fully furbished room probably bigger than my parent's apartment home.

Home - a funny word when I thought about it. Has an entirely different meaning to me now.

To be honest, this room was so large that it felt hard to relax in such a grandoise setting. Especially on my first night here in this new world. It had a lounge larger than the Burg castle solar that I sat in, along with two side rooms. One of which housed a couple elegant beddings, of which I took turns laying on, and the other room was a privy... I didn't have the courage to face this one yet.

Of course, I tried to turn this chamber down, stating it was too much for a guest like myself and explained how I did not want to inconvenience my hosts. I pointed out the hostel the three of us passed on the way to this one would be more than suitable, only to be chided in how that would be an affront to their hospitality. It ended with them practically begging me to take this room and so shamed, I didn't argue it with the Mangolds any longer.

I even had a pretty tasty dinner. I really wasn't that hungry, due to whatever nourishment effect that little Mini-Ration had. That single wafer bar was enough to fill me up for more than a 10 hour period. But around an hour ago, Genifer had brought me a small bowl of thick tomato soup with basil (I think) with a thin slice of bread toasted with cheese and some herb I didn't recognize.

I woofed it all down in less than five minutes, but I had a glass of water to go with it. This was going to put me over the edge. I could feel the tinkling now, but I think I can hold it off for another hour or two. The reason I have yet to tempt it was due to the Guildmaster wanting a later meeting with me.

You can say, I've been waiting rather anxiously for the news on this front. Because with my acceptance into the Explorers Guild, Andrek explained to me he had to go forward what transpired directly to Quatar's Guildmaster. By way of Message Stone most likely. Apparently this one was an old dwarf who holds one of the high seats in this particular guild's society, and who would technically become my new boss when the transfer later occurs.

Andrek said he wanted to keep the flow of information of what I had done today from spreading like gossip through the guild, so he had to do everything himself. But Genifer kindly told me that I had set enough sparks that such secrecy can only be contained for so long. Eventually people are going to find out, but the idea here was when they did, I would already be established as a 'resident' of Quatar.

And all this was two hours ago. My fear was being caught trying to use the bathroom when the Guildmaster shows up. So I ignored the urge to and waited patiently. Thankfully I didn't have to wait too much longer, only 10 more minutes, when I heard the three precise knocks on the door signalling his arrival. That slightest pressure on my bladder was instantly forgotten.

I immediately bolted off the bed, put my boots back on, and greeted him in the lounge area. The old buff guy had a nice grin on his face as he offered me his hand and stated, "Good news, Rikku-dono. Good news indeed." We separated ours hands and took a seat across from each other.

"Bora-sama entreated us well," the Guildmaster started. "He's already consented to your transfer and is working on a cover status for you in Quatar. From now on, if anyone asks, you have been registered with the Quatar branch for almost a year now. And..." he stopped because I had raised my hand.

"I'm sorry, Andrek-sama." I hated to interrupt, but I needed clarity here, "So... is this like a fake i.d-dentification?"

"Correct, Rikku-dono," the Guildmaster nodded in the affirmative. "It's brilliant really as you can use this endorsement abroad, and its history will still check out, even if our own guild makes an inquiry on you. Even the Temple here will have to honor the certification," but here he shook his head, "-however, you'll still have to leave the Vale, just to be on the safe side of it."

I nodded and raised my hand again, "When am I to leave?" I felt like a little kid in school here.

"Not for a while. Bora-sama still needs to put together the right amount of resources and documents to ensure this cover will succeed. And that will take some time due to the sensitivity of the affair at hand." It sounded like a marquee strategy to me.

The Guildmaster went on, "He said he may have to run this by the Paymaster, so a paper trail can be placed in his division, but outside a few among our two branches, you would have been a part of this guild for over a year now and with a record to prove it. It was very fortunate we could bottleneck this on your first day here." Sounds like it.

"What about the three quests I did today," I pointed out. "I may not have been the most... astute of travellers." It was hard to find the right term that described my ignorance in display, without me sounding like a complete bonehead.

"Well, that is the weak link to be sure," Andrek admitted. "Anyone that backtracks your work today could find the discrepancies. However... given you are a wizard of Azora, this will bolster your cover. So as long as you stick to being new to the region, only an inquisitive mind will not take what you say at face value." Here the Guildmaster directed, "Just don't go around telling people you're new to the guild... and none should become the wiser."

I nodded to that instruction. It was easy enough to remember. I even told Andrek that outside of Genifer, himself, and my escort Rogers, that I never made mention I was new to the Explorers Guild. And that would only leave the other three receptionists that morning, the guy who took interest in my Status Card, and Elisha the dark elf as those who knew I wasn't a member at the time.

"-and perhaps that sage lady at the magic shop in town as well," I added.

"This is good, Rikku-dono," the Guildmaster's smile grew. "This will further reduce the chances of our subterfuge being uncovered." Seeing as I had no more questions, he went on explaining about my cover alias-

"Bora-sama is setting it up that you've already completed a number of personal requests in the Quatar region. None of which require any real knowledge on your part, save for being jobs of healing." Most the Guildmaster explained as fake quests that can't be disproven anyways.

The tricker part Andrek went over next was this dwarf establishing a dwelling for me inside of Quatar without drawing the closer eye of a city inspector. This was why my fake registry had to be within the past year and not any longer. Apparently, Bora is going to use the yearly tax issue for residence to cement my new status. Here I did have to raise my hand again to say with a red face-

"I don't have enough money... for all that, Andrek-sama."

"Please... Rikku-dono. Bora-sama is providing you with an advance, and the rent and taxes won't be that much besides." The Guildmaster waved off my concern which seemed to startle himself. "That reminds me," and the old uncle took the large purse bag beside him and handed it to me. I didn't even notice it before as I leaned over to receive it with a bow of my head.

"I put 500 silver dollars in there for you, for the work done today." I immediately went to hand it back. I already felt a nervous tick.

"Please, sir," I groaned. "Shouldn't my cut be less than 300."

Andrek pressed against my gesture, saying with clear intent, "Take it. Consider it a little bonus." A little bonus? I told him it was almost twice the value I should be getting back, right? Here the Guildmaster laughed as he said-

"My boy, for what you did for our branch today... this is but a moderate pay for work." His laughter quieted down to explain how the two alchemists I assisted at the Welltree Ranch put in a very good word to their own boss. Apparently this Lady Friar is giving our guild a nifty little discount for the rest of the year, one that could end up saving their branch 2000 dollars in expenses.

And here I thought those two alchemists just used me to their own end. "I'm sorry alchemists-san," I thought for ever doubting their integrity.

The last topic Andrek brought up was going over my new residence in Quatar itself and asked if I had any preferences. I really didn't follow what he was asking until he focused on the topic of servants or in this case, slaves.

"Slaves?" I was caught off guard by the turn of phrase.

"Yes, Rikku-dono. We cannot entrust you with a staff whose tongues are not binded in service." Thus the Guildmaster was asking me now if I held any disapproval to a specific breed of people, because-

"-this is better to ensure their silence in regards to your house and affairs. Since, you will be new to the city and all... you will be dependent on them for some time. And we do not want to press any undue consternation onto you." Andrek continued that the city estate I was to be renting is a 3-terraced manor currently on Bora's guild records as a vacant premise. That was also another reason my transfer had to be delayed was to make it tenable. But the best way to do the latter, while keeping it under wraps, was through indentured servitude.

Again, the Guildmaster wanted to know if I took offense to any persons of breed, to which I said no, because honestly I had no idea how to answer him back. But that seemed to be answer enough because Andrek merely nodded and thanked me for making the dwarf's selection process go much smoother. Whatever that meant.

Still I had to ask, "May I ask, how large this house staff will be?" I wanted to get a feel of how many people I would be sharing a living space with.

The Guildmaster mused over it for a bit before answering, "No more than six, at the most. Would that number suffice?" I nodded in approval saying that was more than enough with Andrek agreeing to forward my words to Bora.

And that was pretty much it as it regards to my future setup.

I also asked if, "Would you please forward my sincerest thank you to Bora-sama? Will you also tell him I will be looking forward to the day when we meet in person." Hopefully saying all this will put me in a good light and make it seem all what they are undertaking on my behalf is worth it.

"I'll see to it personally, Rikku-dono." The Guildmaster replied after a nod of his head.

"And thank you too, Andrek-sama," I had to add. "Hopefully, you will all find 'this' worth it." I put heavy emphasis on the word, clearly hoping so.

"You are too modest, madoshi," Andrek returned with an easy smile. "Having you in our guild is a blessing we cannot described."

It seemed these talks were done with, so I leaned back and exhaled my relief. Then I asked if there was anything more that needed to be done tonight. The Guildmaster looked like he had a topic at hand, but was kind of fidgeting around in its asking-

"It's just. I don't want it to sound... pernicious." His face looked guilty for some reason.

"Andrek-sama... please, I'm not one who will take great offense to a simple question." Especially considering my own ignorance here, but I needn't say that. I was just trying to assure the Guildmaster that he could go ahead and ask whatever. I figured it might be about-

"Is it about my Holy magic," I offered. The old man nodded, but his face looked strained for some reason.

"I don't mind, you know." But instead of being asked a question, the Guildmaster simply told me-

"It'd be easier to show you, Rikku-dono." His tone was quite grave.

Twenty minutes later, I was brought into another area of this guildhall's castle complex, some kind of infirmary wing. None of the beds in this large space were occupied but the way the room was lit, I could tell it was well maintenanced.

I was confused as to why I was brought here with no patients to heal until I noticed a side area with the coffins. Each looked like a pinebox, polished to perfection, and engraved with numerous sigils and a giant cross on its bridge. All were open but two.

With me was the Guildmaster, Genifer, and a lanky man of almost sixty years but rather rugged looking for his age with his peppered hair. I used [Scan] on him to see he had 57 levels in the Explorer class, but his stats barely reached a 90 value. Still I knew whatever Andrek intended was something serious, because he had this guy swear an oath on a bended knee before even introducing us.

"This is one of our veteran Explorers, Rikku-dono. May I introduce, Jarvin, a son of Guilford."

"Well met, madoshi-dono," the older gent said after getting off his knee.

"Hajimemashite," with me half-bowing to him in return. I was a little worried after the last couple hours if Jarvin's presence here was really needed, but the Guildmaster somehow must have picked up on it-

"He's a trusted friend, Rikku-dono." I nodded to that. Well if that's the case, I won't bother with it.

The Guildmaster faced Jarvin again to state that I'm on a visit from their Quatar branch this evening. Which he then explained is in part a ruse and that I'm fresh from Azora who is now an associate with their guild. This Explorer did not shift in hearing any of this until Andrek explained I was a healer with Holy affinity.

"But... so young," he pointed out to me. I could only smile bashfully at him. The Guildmaster then went on why they were going through all these lengths to protect my secret with Jarvin saying phrases like "of course, Andrek" and "yes, yes, I understand". After giving this Explorer the full lowdown, Andrek turned to me and stated-

"Jarvin here is well known to most our guild heads, so they will trust in his word." I think I realized why the Explorer is here, and so asked if Jarvin was going to be like my sponsor.

"Correct, Rikku-dono. Also once Bora-sama is ready to receive you, Jarvin here will be your escort to Quatar to avoid the toils of travel," Andrek added and then said in more the general-

"I would also ask you to refrain from using the [Field Walk] service, save for Jarvin here or another that Bora-sama himself directs." Both our heads dipped to that clear directive.

After which the Guildmaster led us into the side area where the coffins were. Those opened I could see were padded like a small bedding, but it was more the two whose contents I couldn't see that was worrying me so. It gave me goosebumps if I were to be honest.

Sure enough, Andrek went to one - did a holy gesture with his hand - then opened it to reveal a figure wrapped in a translucent cloth. The Guildmaster looked at me with pained expression and beckoned me forth. I could hear Genifer sniffling as I made my approach.

Standing over it, I could tell from its near sheerness that the corpse was a young boy with a strange pattern of black veins on his face and torso, like sickening tattoos embedded in his paled skin. But the most telling feature of this dead boy was his copper toned head.

I looked at the Guildmaster in understanding and asked, "Is he..." I left my question open. He nodded and said-

"My nephew. Died almost two months back." I looked back at Genifer who disguised her latest distress as a hiccup. I realized this is probably her little brother.

"Two months ago?" I was shocked to hear of this time frame. There was supposedly resurrection magic in this world, right? So I asked-

"Was resurrection magic not used."

"It can't madoshi-dono. Ranferi was... stung by a manitcore." The giant beast? I looked over the boy's body but couldn't make out any big claw or bite marks anywheres. However, I didn't realize those three words had escaped my lips.

"-uhh..." The Guildmaster was looking around a bit dazed by my output. I could tell even Genifer, whose eyes were red, didn't know how to answer back, but Jarvin stepped in to say-

"He means the bug, madoshi-dono. Their venom is slow but quite fatal." I do remember now some games having manticores being more of a green beetle with fell stingers. It must also be like that here in this world.

"So..." and I described the black veins I was seeing, "are from the poison?"

"Yes, Rikku-dono," the Guildmaster concurred. "As you can see, it continues to spread even after the... victim is deceased."

"And so, this shroud is a-"

"Yes, a Death Shroud," the Guildmaster confirmed. "It helps prevent rot and decay on that which is dead. The coffin is also imbued with 'Preservation' wards to maintain... its state." Then I learned that the reason his nephew can't be resurrected (at this time) was due to the nature of his death.

Apparently, young Ranferi here was with his class trekking in the countryside in an attempt to earn a 'Hiker' bonus, which would allow him access to the Explorer class. Perhaps it was some kind of prerequisite feat. Anyway - his nephew had the most unfortunate circumstance of sitting on a fallen log that had a manticore burrowed within. What everyone thought was a simple bug bite turned into a nightmare as they made camp for the night.

"If you don't purge its venom immediately, then the poison matures into a disease that is practically incurable, save for the highest levels of magic removal." Here Jarvin picked up to explain how deadly the manticore sting was. "It is frequently used as a toxin for assassinations, since it is slow-acting and will later block healing measures." I was surprised to hear that last bit. Sounds like some sort of health debuff effect.

"And this... 'penalty' is also what affects any resurrection cast?" I wanted to get a feeling if my own analysis was correct here.

"Yes, Rikku-dono," the Guildmaster said after a rub of his eyes. "It saps one's vitality and roots deep to prevent a body's revitalization." After hearing more of it from Andrek, it seems the Priests cannot use their resurrection spell, [Raise Dead], without the target body being restored to a particular point of health. Which they can't do with any Mending spell due to the infection. A weird mechanic to be sure, but I guess fitting considering what else I've learned thus far.

"So you want me to try and cure this disease effect," I asked after the Guildmaster's explanation.

"If you could, Rikku-dono. We would be forever grateful." Andrek nodded in confirmation as he took on a more stoic impression. I bowed my head to him in acceptance of this grim task. First I whispered [Scan] upon his nephew's body:

This character window had alot standing out from all others I've scanned in this new world. First nearly all of it was faded out and barely readable, like a blurry image. The only text that stood out was the word DECEASED bolded in dark red and next to his race column. Another was two of his stats were at a 0 value. The last standout was his HP sphere having a 'Disease' status that looked like its own bar around it.

I also noticed Ranferi did have the Explorer class, and that Hiker bonus, but his first slot was still set on Villager for some reason. This was also a first to be seen in this new world. However, there was no real reason to think any more on it. His character window matches up with the information I was given, so I felt confident this 'Disease' effect was the main issue at hand.

I pulled out my Oaken Wand from my storage ring and told those watching I was going to use the [Remedy] spell and explained its effects, before flicking my wand in its cast.

It missed. Literally - the wand briefly glowed its pale yellow but did nothing to my target. Shaking my head, I did it again to feel the same effect. Now I got a little worried.

"This spell isn't working," I said aloud, doing my best to ignore the murmurs around me. Then I explained I was going to use my [Light Healing] spell to confirm a theory. The blue flashes that shone from my wand could not touch my target either. Then I tried [Remedy] one last time, just to be sure. They all missed, but it wasn't that my magic was being 'blocked' by the Disease effect. It was like my spells could not hit at all, as if-

"Forgive me for saying, I don't mean for this to sound... crudely," I turned to speak to the Guildmaster directly. "But I don't think my healing spells can affect a corpse." I didn't know how else to explain it as I went over the feeling of my spells 'missing' upon Ranferi's dead form.

Andrek sighed in resignation, telling me it was alright while I heard Genifer choking back her tears. It was an awful feeling that I could help them, especially after everything they did for me. It seems I finally hit a limitation to my healing magic in this world, or perhaps it was due to this 'Disease' bubble around his HP sphere. But then I remembered a key spell in my build-

"It seems, I can't prepare Ranferi's body here... but maybe I can try the resurrection spell I have. That is if you will allow it, Andrek-sama." I offered this in return for my previous failure. The answer I got were two looks of pure stupefaction from the older gents and a hoarse cry from the cute redhead.

"I knew it," I could hear her croak in the back, twice over. The Guildmaster shared a pointed look with Jarvin then said in a croaked voice too-

"Truly, Rikku-dono?" Andrek looked stressed with the sweat forming on his brow. Even the Explorer still wore the white face of shock.

"Yes, Andrek-sama. My spell is called [Revivify]," then better explained what it was. After quietly opening up my [Class Settings] to recheck its tooltip, I stated to the Guildmaster that its revival method should clear all status condition, well should it succeed that is.

"I never actually used it before though. So I understand... if you will not permit me to do so here, Andrek-sama," I finished with a bow of my head. But after hearing Genifer saying to him "please", her uncle nodded and looked quite anxious when he told me-

"Yes. Yes, Rikku-dono," then pointed to a cupboard on the side wall stating, "... it is stocked with many reagents. Please, use whatever you need." To this I didn't know what to say. I checked the [Revivify] tooltip again to be sure, but there was no startup cost save its high MP value. I merely turned back to the Guildmaster with a shrug and nod to say-

"Thank you," and went to stand before Ranferi again while doing my best to ignore the mumbling. My main concern was if the resurrection did work, the boy would literally come alive in this coffin and basically gift-wrapped. I pointed out this could be a potential shock to the kid, with the Guildmaster coming to undo a portion of the head area so his face was exposed. Andrek then stepped back with a bow.

I really didn't know what else to do in preparation here, so I just pointed my wand and went for it. Hoping for the best, I casted-

"[Revivify]!" I felt the MP drain to my loud command as the magic began to surround my target's body. This spell didn't miss as a burning white light shimmered around him. Within its blaze, I could see those black veins fading. And as the light began to extinguish eight seconds later, Ranferi gasped and began to struggle for breath. It gave me quite the scare as I tripped backwards.

Both the Guildmaster and Genifer rushed past me, crying out as they saw the full effect of the spell. The boy was still struggling against them, completely confused as the scene I pictured in my head would on a successful outcome. In my inner eye, I brought Ranferi's character window to the fore, and it looked normal compared to its DECEASED version, with his HP sphere barely half but no longer holding that diseased barrier.

Turning to the gibbering on my right, there was Jarvin the Explorer gaping at me, as he gestured in the holy cross in touching his head and shoulders. I didn't even get a chance to scoff at the sight before I was almost knocked straight over, the redhead burying me in a hug.

My face went flush as Genifer immediately bent my head down to kiss my forehead.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," she repeated with a face in tears before pressing the crown of her head into my chest. I figured it would ruin the mood if I said "you're welcome", so I kept quiet as my attention went to the Guildmaster who looked to be asking his nephew a series of questions. I could hardly make out what was being said, but the poor boy still looked shell-shocked, which really isn't all that surprising upon learning you've been dead the past two months. But Ranferi looked to be answering his uncle correctly with the latter nodding after each one answered.

About a minute later, it seems the boy realized in entirety what had occurred as he broke in tears. This time, his older sister went to comfort him, assuring him it would be alright just as the Guildmaster came up to me wearing an expression of disbelief. Andrek was shaking and his breathing was very heavy as he spoke-

"D-Do you know, w-what yuu've juust done?" I could see a red rim around the older man's eyes when he posed his question.

I nodded my head ever so slightly while saying, "-umm... am I right to assume this kind of resurrection is, not normal?" The Guildmaster's response was a shake of his head as he breathed out a "no". Even Jarvin was doing the bobblehead.

"R-Rikku-do... no-sama...," here Andrek went on a knee. I started waving my hands in protest to his action, but he continued in his sunk position, "F-Forgive me... for under... estimating you here." My body went a little cold at that one word.

"Andrek-sama. What do you mean by that?" What did he mean by 'underestimating' me? The Guildmaster couldn't answer as he went entirely out of breath, but Genifer picked it up from here in exclaiming-

"Rikku-sama... t-that was a true resurrection," then she turned to console Ranferi again who buried his face in his hands. I didn't really get it and so asked. Andrek had to explain to me that the standard resurrection spell was done with many reagents and ritual circles to empower the cast. Most also needed the body purified beforehand as well as done with multiple Priests in a unison effort to ensure its success.

And the normal process took hours. "-and you did it in... in..." the Guildmaster couldn't finish.

"Madoshi-sama," Jarvin cut in, his voice was in an awe. "Performing a true resurrection is considered the pinnacle of Holy magic. Even the few Clerics the Empire has cannot perform such a feat without the aid of Temple artifacts." Surely not, [Revivify] is just a lv.20 spell. I bit my lip though.

"Word of this cannot get out." The Guildmaster seemed to gain some of his composure back as he bolted upright. He was still trembling, but his voice held firm in explaining... that a war could literally start over this, one that would shake the whole of the continent.

To 'that', I did face palm. "Why!" I cried internally.

Andrek was now giving out instructions. First to Jarvin who was to, "-use [Field Walk] to Quatar and explain what you just witnessed to Bora-sama, without delay. Explain he has to be prepared to receive Rikku-sama at any given notice." The Explorer nodded to the command as a silver sigil started to appear beneath his feet.

What's more - Jarvin was incanting his spell here in a tongue I did not recognize. "Is that Latin?" Didn't really sound like it though. Still I really wanted to ask that question but just stood there watching it form in silence. Eventually the magic circle was completed, almost looking like a compass dial as one of its arrows began to shine.

"And remember, do not tell another soul... what you saw here tonight."

"Yes, yes," came the Explorer's anxious tone. "And what about my return, Guildmaster. Should I port back over immediately after?"

"No, no, my friend," Andrek was even waving his hand in the negative. "Stay with Bora-sama for the next directive. I'll send word with a Message Stone should I need you." Jarvin consented and then ported away after invoking [Field Walk] out loud. His teleportation looked like he was sucked into some invisible vacuum. Oddly the sigil was still there until it too faded a couple seconds later with the Guildmaster stating the port was successful.

The old uncle's second set of orders were to Genifer to take her little brother back home, "-but go out the back to avoid being seen." The redhead nodded as they began bouncing ideas off the other in how to better disguise Ranferi's resurrection. Apparently their father, the Guildmaster's younger brother, has a manse in town that she was to take him. The boy was also given instructions to lay low there until a transfer could be made to their country estate where he can enjoy the rest of his recovery.

Genifer said that will not be a problem as she will explain to her parents the severity of Ranferi's resurrection, although her uncle forbade it, "Don't. The less who know about Rikku-sama the better. Instead, should they ask-" and Andrek went over how to account it as the Guildmaster receiving a personal favor.

"This should keep my brother and his lady from wanting to know any more," Andrek expressed firmly. "After all, they will be ecstatic just to see their son safely returned." Genifer agreed that was probably the best course here.

The Guildmaster then shooed the two off for Genifer to get her little brother properly dressed and cloaked as to go home. Just as his sister got Ranferi out the coffin, still draped in the Death Shroud, their uncle added-

"And don't bother coming in tomorrow, my girl. Take time to help get Ranferi situated." Genifer nodded, smiling in tears, while trying to help the stumbling boy move around. Seems the resurrection still has him a bit dazed. The redhead threw me another "thank you" as they rounded the corner to leave me alone with the Guildmaster.

He once again adopted a kneeling posture, which I groaned out, "Please, sir." Being treated like this was unsettling.

"Again... forgive me, Rikku-sama." Andrek intoned. Atleast his gruff voice was no longer breaking in emotion. I'm not sure if my words of comfort did any good here, but he seemed a bit more assured back on his feet again.

"What you did tonight... you must guard your words carefully, from ever speaking of your Holy power to others," the Guildmaster spoke in a hush. "If others discovered your true capability, especially this resurrection spell, then... it would..." it seemed Andrek couldn't fathom the consequences as he gave up explaning 'what' to just throw his arms up in the air. That part about a 'war' was conflict enough to keep my mouth shut.

But I had to nag, "It might have been just a fluke, you know." I was a nervous wreck explaining how this [Revivify] spell may not work again, or some condition was met for it to work on his nephew. Of course I could not be sure, but perhaps I could-

"-try my hand on that other coffin there. You know... to compare and make sure," almost hoping this was being overblown. The Guildmaster again went pale to my proposal with a trembling lip.

...

...

...

Turns out... it wasn't a fluke.
