The World of Astrial

Kris decided to give Leo some space and let him think over whatever he had experienced. He seemed to need time to cool off. She took the time to organize her pack and get it ready for the new supplies she planned on purchasing. As she did, it occurred to her that they still needed to sell the wolf furs.

Whenever Korbin had been resting for a while, she gingerly nudged him awake. "We need to find Eliana and see where she got off to, wrap up some loose ends and head to the banquet. Leo, I don't know what's troubled you but if you don't want to walk about it, we should fill you in on this world and what's going on. That, and you'll need to properly equip yourself before we leave. I need a few things as well."

"Well, I'll have you guys settled, I'll need to head back to Alfrueta. You're safe here in the guild HQ anyway. [Teleport]"

Arisa sighed as she looked to Leo, "W-well...I hope it's not too troubling."

(Take your time. The next combat should be far off....assuming nothing happens)

Andrei noticed Eliana had been crying as she came out. He immediately held her.

She seemed to calm down pretty quickly as Andrei kissed her one the head.

"You can tell me what's wrong later. Now is ze time to be adult. "

She nodded at him.

Korbin's eyes gently fluttered open. He looked around for a moment before coming into focus.

"Eliana's father is comforting her right now. It's best that we don't disturb them." Korbin said.

With the short rest, Korbin had recovered most of his mana and was full of energy again. The previous fight had been very draining, especially with his final attack. As such, the short sleep cycle was needed.

By the majority and Mr. Unholy's vote already accounted by my side. Time skip has occured. Please state what you did in your downtime if any~.

John was getting ready. Fully dressed in his battle ready armour he did one final check of all weapons and items he may need. Since John had received word if the threat he had been on edge barely sleeping and watching over the hero's best he could. He decided that he would not partake in the banquet. Rather keep a lookout. After all it'd probably be the last of his time with the hero's. After John had double checked all his equipment he put on his cloak and raised the hood and awaited the other hero's.

Korbin emerged from one of the rooms towards the back of the building, his clothing was cleaned with a subtle expertise.

"I don't think that combat equipment is the best attire for a banquet." Korbin said jokingly to John.

Korbin had spent his downtime that day, just thinking. It initially began with him thinking about the banquet but it shifted over to the possibilities of the changes back in his world. There was most likely an investigation on his disappearance. At one point he had a sudden moment of terror at what the police might find on his personal laptop. But something seemed wrong to him. He had made a commitment to his life in his world, yet now he had made an oath to this world. Maybe living here wouldn't be so bad.

Kris decided to rest and buy whenever Eliana never returned. Though she didn't get along well with Korbin, John seemed competent enough and she was looking forward to the banquet. Using the bit of gold she'd had upon arrival, and what she had earned, the elf bought some rations, supplies and some new traveling robes. She also decided to buy a chain shirt, something she could wear between layers of clothing, for armor. It was far less heavy and impeding than the chain mail been wearing, though it provided less protection.

The cleric planned on relying on magic to ward her from attack to supplement her armor, and she also had her healing magics. Having traveled to arrive there and then gone on a venture as soon as she arrived, she elected to take a longer nap before leaving.

Whenever it was time to depart and John showed up in battle armor, Kris as usual provided a foil to Korbin's remark. "Well, the heroes are being stalked and we'll have to travel to the banquet, we could encounter danger." Her chain shirt was not visible under her robes, it lay beneath them and over an undershirt, resting between the two layers of fabric. Kris was worried about someone keeping a close eye on them, but she was doing her best not to show it.

"Honestly, I'd be more worried about the potential dangers at the banquet rather than on the journey, since Alisa is capable of using a teleport spell. I would presume that she would be able to send us to the banquet with relative ease." Korbin said after a brief moment.

Korbin's clothes had a bit of a durable protective layer beneath them. It was a powerful material that makes it more difficult for bladed weapons to pierce through. Weapons such as swords are able to penetrate however knives have a difficult time. Blunt weaponry still has the same effect on him since the layer isn't very thick.

"None of you have seen Eliana or her father?" John asked looking worried.

"Doesn't matter. They have the option if meeting ud there or not even comming. We will get going soon so make sure you all are ready." John said with a commanding voice.

"If you're ready Kris, then I would suggest that we get going as soon as possible. I'd like the chance to explore Alfrueta a bit before the banquet." Korbin said, somewhat impatiently.

Alisa appeared to their room, "So you want to explore Alfrueta for a bit? I guess we can go there early and head to the banquet a hour after?"

"Sounds great with me. I wouldn't mind going ahead of the rest of the group if you guys want to prepare a bit more." Korbin said, somewhat excited.

It's been a while since I've ever visited a new culture. I've exhausted pretty much all of the cultures in my world so this will be a nice change of pace.

Angelo walked up to the group. "Good news everyone. I shall be attending for a bit along with you all. It may have been my home country, but the capitol is still a mystery to me. Plus, there are other... matters, I must attend to." He smiled widely.
