>>45450190
>>Tell Sana to use her skeletons as a distraction.

>>45450190
"Sana, use your 'pets' as a distraction, please." You sigh.

"Come to me, my children!" Sana screams, two skeletons rising from the floor and standing before her. Gods, that gave you the creeps every time she did that.

"Now, my darlings, go off and make terror upon the hapless fools." Sana giggles as she shoos them off.

"...That was fun. Now-" You are cut off as Sana turns to you with a glare. "...What?"

"You don't like my babies?" She asks you in a cold tone that could freeze the sweat on your skin.

"N-No! Evelyn does like your babies! Doesn't she?" Clara turns nervously towards you.

>"Y-Yes, I do!"
>"Um..."
>"Do I have to...?"

>>45450524
>>"Y-Yes, I do!"

>>45450524
>>"Y-Yes, I do!"

>>45450524
"Yes, I do! I love those cute little kids of yours!" You say with practiced fake cheer. "I want to eat them up."

Sana then smiles warmly at you. "I'm glad you think they're cute." The necromancer then lets out an evil laugh that tickles your spine. Dear gods, you hope to never make an enemy out of her.

"If Buffoon Theater is over, perhaps we should get down to business on killing the enemies." Zander yawns.

"It's simple. As soon as Sana's kids send them into a frenzy, we strike." You nod. Or so you hoped.

The team heads towards the room where the energy signatures are located, loud noises can be heard from the inside.

"Fucking bone men!"

"I hate necromancers! Nothing but pure blight in the magic world!"

"Someone get a priest!"

Sana's eye begins to twitch violently. Not good. Not good at all.

>"Sana, take it easy."
>"Ok, let's begin!"
>"Wait for it..."

>>45450869
>>"Ok, let's begin!"

>>45450869
"Ok, let's do this!" You shout as the A and B-ranks burst into the room and attack the confused robed men, spells and weapons flying about.

Blood was soon coloring the walls as the number of your opponents soon began to grow short. You spot some of them retreating in the midst of the carnage, but that was all right. You had the place surrounded.

Zander lets out a yawn as he vaporizes a robed man. "This seems to be beginning to become too easy." He muses.

Mei then suddenly stops as she removes her kunai from her enemy's throat. "You're right. This IS way too easy." She scans her eyes around the area, as if looking for something out of place.

Clapping of hands can be heard as a bald man wearing red robes descends down the stairs and is smugly grinning at you. "Congrats on killing my men. Oh, well, I didn't need them anyways." You hear...sarcasm in his voice.

"Who are you?" You ask.

"Me? Oh, my name is Lotern, just a humble leader of the fine group of elite assassins you just murdered." He then glares at you all with now-glowing eyes. "And now you're going to regret it!"

Shit.

>"Attack him!"
>"Fall back!"
>"On guard!"

>>45451188
>"On guard!"

>>45451188
>>"On guard!"

>>45451188
>"On guard!"

>>45451188
"Stand guard!" You scream at your team, all of them going into defensive positions as Lotern summons a storm of flying blades at them.

You quickly put up a barrier, watching the blades bounce off of it. "Holy shit, I can't believe he knows how to use weapon magic."

"You think?" Mei snaps.

"What do we do?" Gia, a A-rank priest shouts.

"I'll tell you all what you can do." Lotern sneers. "DIE!" He then shoots out beams of light from his eyes, which crashes into your barrier and is starting to break it.

"Damn!" You spit out. "Someone may want to stop him!"

Zandor hurls a powerful ice spell at Lotern, but he splits into three and floats around the room, laughing madly.

"You've doomed yourselves, peons! Your city is already lost to the wrath of Frendan, thanks to my best agent heading over to your mayor's demesne!" The bald man shouts. "And I will have your souls to sup on!"

"In your dreams!" You shout at him defiantly.

Lotern just laughs as he and his clones shoot out lighting bolts from their fingers; some of the guild members getting hit by the attack and falling onto the ground.

"Damn it!" You swear. Where was the tracking team where you needed them?!

What do you do?

>Use a flash spell
>Try to reflect his lighting back at him.
>Create a stronger barrier to let the healers heal the wounded.

>>45451415
>>Create a stronger barrier to let the healers heal the wounded.

>>45451415
>>Try to reflect his lighting back at him.

>>45451415
>Create a stronger barrier to let the healers heal the wounded.

>>45451415
You ponder on your actions. You could use a shield to turn his magic against him, or use a barrier to let the healers restore the others to full health.

As Lotern charges up for another magic assault, you quickly raise up a larger barrier, covering your fallen comrades.

"Healers, do your jobs!" You bark out.

You see Gia, Maria, and Lamont go forth and heal the injured while Lotern is still blasting away at your barrier, hoping to break it.

"Evelyn, what do we do?" Clara asks.

"Hope to hell Zephyr gets here and shoots the flying bald bastard from hell!" You shout.

"It's useless! I am invincible! I cannot be done in!" Lotern roars. "NOW DIE AND ROT IN YOUR OBSCURE GRAVES!"

"Nope." A familiar voice rings out as an arrow lodges itself into Lotern's shoulder, dispelling his clones and making fall to the ground. "Not today, bald-o."

"Zephyr," You breathe out as you see the lithe figure of the archer at the window. "Thank the gods."

"Sorry I'm late. I just saw the flashing lights and decided to drop in."She looks at you with a smile. "So, who's the baldy?"

"ENOUGH! I WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE A JOKE!" Lotern stands up and roars, raising his uninjured arm into the air, a spell escaping from his lips as a red energy ball appears in his hand.

What do you do?

>Tell Zephyr to shoot him in the head.
>Attack him in mid-spell.
>Keep the barrier up.

>>45451587
>Attack him in mid-spell.

>>45451587
>>Tell Zephyr to shoot him in the head.

>>45451587
"Zephyr, take him down now!" You shout.

"Don't need to tell me twice!" The archer launches her arrow into Lotern's chest, making him cry out in surprise.

"G-Gods! Y-You wretches! I may have died, but my disciple still lives! You will not be able to stop her!" Lotern gasps his last as he falls dead onto the floor.

"Shit... Mei! Can you reach the mayor's house in time?!" You turn to the ninja.

"Yeah, but-" Mei starts.

"No buts! Just GO!" You yell at her as you watch her dash and jump out into the night. Gods, if what baldy said was true, then Grantine was going to be fucked by Frendan.

"What do we do now?" Zandor asks.

"Burn the place down?" Clara says.

"No! Leave it as is! Let the authorities find it. As a matter of fact, Zandor, go to the town guard and tell them what happened!" You shout.

"...I think-" He is cut off by you grabbing his robes and staring into his blue eyes.

"I don't need you to THINK!" You hiss. "I need you to DO IT! Now GO!" You shove him towards the direction of the entrance, panting heavily.

"Evelyn? Are you OK?" Clara timidly asks.

>"Fucking peachy."
>"I feel like I ran a lap through town."
>"Clara, catch me."

>>45451889
>>"Clara, catch me."

>>45451889
"Clara, catch me. I can feel my legs about to give out." You say as you fall to the floor, only for your friend to catch you.

"Evelyn! Someone help her!" You can hear Clara's cries as you enter the dark recesses of sleep.

(Meanwhile)

You are Mei, a ninja that hails from... a country whose name you can't be bothered to remember right now. You push your body to the limit as you sprint towards the mayor's house, hoping you weren't too late.

The lights weren't on, which was still a good sign, the assassin had yet to do the deed. You jump onto the rooftop and climb down towards the window ledge.

As you peer into the mayor's bedroom, you see him and his wife asleep in their bed. But suddenly, you see the door open and a feminine robed figure slips in.

Crap.

>Crash into the window and attack.
>Try to open the window without waking the mayor.
>Make a noise.

>>45452056
>>Try to open the window without waking the mayor.

>>45452056
Using your ancient art of lock-picking taught to you by your jounin instructor, you swiftly pull out a hairpin and flip the lock open from the inside and stealthy enter the bedroom.

Your eyes are pinned to the robed woman and slowly pulling out a shuriken, you fling it at her, the star burying itself deep into her shoulder.

She lets out a hiss and flees the room, your cue to jump back to the rooftop and drop down onto the other side of the house and slip into the bathroom.

You quickly exit the room and quickly look around for any signs of the assassin.

Suddenly, you move out of the way, barely getting scratched by the wounded assassin. "Shit." You hiss.

"You've managed to attack me. You're pretty good." The female assassin smiles under her hood, which changes into a frown. "But not good enough."

What do you say?

>"We'll see."
>"Lady, you're about to be fucked."
>"Bitch with a stabbed throat says what?"

>>45452304
>"We'll see."

>>45452304
>>"Lady, you're about to be fucked."

>>45452304
"We'll see about that. You're going to get fucked, by the way." You then pull out your kunai and fling it at the assassin, who dodges out the way and swipes her stiletto at you.

"Shit!" You curse as it nearly grazes you. "Lucky shot." You then begin to make handseals as you melt into the shadows.

The assassin stands around, looking for you. What she doesn't know is that you're already beside her.

You grasp her feet and pull her through the darkness, enjoying the look of surprise on her face as she tries to move away.

"Gotcha, bitch!" You snicker as you finish dragging her into the void. That was always your favorite trick in the book.

Suddenly, a stiletto cuts your cheek and you jump away in pain. What the- How did she escape from your jutsu?!

"I told you before, you're good, girl." The assassin then grins. "But not good enough."

What do you say?

>"I haven't even started yet!"
>"Who are you?!"
>"I gotta admit, you're one hell of a challenge."

>>45452466
>>"I haven't even started yet!"

>>45452466
>"I gotta admit, you're one hell of a challenge."

>>45452466
"Gotta admit, you're one hell of a challenge. But I'm not finished yet!" You shout as you use your clone technique and rush her with kunai drawn. She fends off your flurry of attacks with her puny-ass dagger.

This is starting to get annoying. You summon another clone behind her and watch as it grabs her from behind. Then you and your clones stab your kunai into her gut. You could practically hear her gasp of pain as she then goes still.

The clones disperse, as you lean against the wall, panting. Well, might as well go back and tell the mage girl-

Not again. You barely manage to avoid being stabbed in the back as the assassin staggers forward, a glint in her eye.

"Killing me won't be so easy." She says. "Because I'm already dead."

"...Figures." you grunt.

"So, what other tricks in your sleeve do you have?" The assassin grins.

>Use your fire skill.
>Fling a spell tag onto her head.
>Shove an explosive into her mouth.

>>45452564
>>Fling a spell tag onto her head.

>>45452564
"Oh, nothing really." You grin as you fling a spell tag onto her head. "Just that."

"What is this? Some sort of note calling me an insult?" The assassin laughs.

"Nope." You then shout something in your native language as the assassin suddenly is engulfed in light, her screams echoing throughout the neighborhood. Oops.

You quickly make your way out of the house as the light explodes throughout the mayor's house, signifying the assassin's death.

Mission accomplished.

(Meanwhile)

You are Dorga Dorgle, and you are covered in blood and loving it. Thank the gods for the blessing they gave you.

You see Bellone dancing like a deranged pixie over the corpses, laughing.

"Gods, she's out of her gourd." Ein, a A-Rank Berserker grunts out.

"I'll say." Nadie, a B-rank Brawler snorts.

>"Enough talkin'! We got work!"
>"Let her alone. She's just having fun."
>"Ladies and Gents, all the drinks are on me!"

>>45452742
>"Ladies and Gents, all the drinks are on me!"

>>45452742
"All right, boys and girls! The drinks are on me!" You roar. The cheers of your mates are always a good thing to hear.

Bellone comes right up to you and smiles. "I would love to go on missions with you anytime." She grins madly.

"Of course, girlie, of course." You say. Then you turn to the group. "C'mon, everyone! Back to the tavern!"

You and the rest march on, leaving the corpses of the assassins to the town guard.

As you enter one of your favorite pubs in the uptown, you pull out your money and place it onto the counter. "Drinks for everyone, mate. It's all on me!"

The bartender sighs and begins to pour drinks for your team. You felt kind of sorry for the man, but hey, he didn't fight the assassins.

As your mates drink and talk, you watch Krieg to try to hit on the noblewomen in the bar.

"Hello, ladies. Would you be interested in going out on a night of the town with me?" He grins at a red-haired young lady.

"With you?" She asks in a bored tone.

"Yes, you see, I am a man with many talents." Krieg grins.

What do you say?

>"Does one of those talents involve cheating?"
>"Krieg, quit pestering the girl!"
>"Hey, lady, you don't wanna go out with him."

>>45453268
>>"Krieg, quit pestering the girl!"

>>45453268
>"Krieg, quit pestering the girl!"

>>45453268
"Krieg, you stop bothering that girl and come here and drink with us!" You shout.

"Stay out of this!" He snaps at you.

You turn to Bellone, who smiles at you before running off towards Krieg. "Big brother! I found you!" She clings to Krieg's leg with a smile. "My sister was worried about you, pining over you!"

"Sister?" The noble lass turns to Krieg with a glare.

"N-No, you see, she's lying-" Krieg is cut off by Belllone sniffling.

"Oh, brother, I thought you loved big sis! Even after I heard you two making noises in the bedroom!" Bellone squeals.

The noblewoman stands up and slaps Krieg and leaves the bar.

You let out a laugh as Krieg shoves Bellone off and storms back to his seat. That was a good one. Kline woulda loved that one.

Nadia and Ein are arm-wrestling on a nearby table. That looks kinda interesting to see.

You head on over to the table and see the two go at it.

"Give it up, Ein!" Nadia shouts.

"Never!" Ein snarls.

What do?

>Bet on Ein
>Bet on Nadia.
>Cheer them both on.

>>45453529
>Bet on Nadia.

>>45453529
"Go get 'im, Nadi!" You roar as the raven-haired woman grunts, forcing the brunette man's arm down towards the table, his hand touching the surface.

The crowd explodes as Ein withdraws his arm, glaring at Nadia.

"I fucking won!" One of your mates yells.

"I knew I bet right!" Another shouts.

The Berserker just stands up and goes off to sulk somewhere. Ah, it seems some men can't still handle losing to a girl at anything.

Well, you still had a night of partying to do. And the night is still young!

>To be continued.

Thanks for playing. I'm going to crash now, so expect more on Wednesday.
