*****

It was a slow day in the City. Birds and drakes flew casually over the urbanized region. The City's name was Honorgard, and it was filled with all manner of interesting creatures. From the average humans, dwarves, and Elves. To the strange Satyr, Minotaur, and Orc. To the exotic Center, Sphinx, and Lamia. No matter how different the being may be, there are more than likely at least two in the City at all times.

There are two reasons for this. The City being a trade hub. It connects the great octoroad. A massive route of eight lanes. Said to be able to be seen even high in the sky. It was made that way to facilitate the great beasts of burden constantly coming and going. Part of it being a hub are the airship and sandship docks. Allowing it to take in Air transports, and be one of the few berths for those coming from the Sandsea desert from the south.

The other reason is the Adventures Guild. They are a group that does work for the betterment of the City and region. From the mundane exploration and gathering of materials in dangerous areas. To the more interesting, taking out Beasts or Bandit groups that have encroached on trade routes or farmlands. The Guild gets paid for the job and those that completed it get a portion of the money. There is the Guild's headquarters in the City to get jobs from. But many taverns and inns have started to install boards for people to post jobs on for the Guilds adventurers.

The person we are following is a new member of the Guild. Having only arrived in the City that morning. He had been doing most of his teachings and training in a nearby town over letters. Not having the funds to actually travel to the City until that day. Luckily, he had the recent letters to show he had the general knowledge he needed to be an adventurer. So, he would just have to take a test to show his martial abilities. Due to the same money issues, he didn't have a sword and shield. Instead, having a spear.

The new guy passed the test and was registered under the Dragoon Class. Classes were titles of sorts. So people would know what kind of skills someone would have. Dragoons being spears and light or no Armor. They can sometimes be scarily accurate. Luckily, you can register for a different class if you have the funds and skills for it. The tome that had been mailed to the new Adventurer's town talked of about twenty-five Classes. But there were many more.

The new Adventurer was named Will. And a pretty average-looking Human. Well, at least he was 6'1, so he had that going for him. As he left the Guild Hall, the new Adventurer was thinking to himself. All newly registered Guild Members could use a sort of Guild Credit to hire a party of locals to assist them on jobs.

Sometimes, Guild Members party up with each other. Will was new to the City, so he didn't really know anyone. Standing outside of the Hall was an Elf woman. She had pale skin, blue eyes, and brown hair. They looked to be 5'2, and had a wizard's staff and hat. The rest of her clothes were a pair of leather shorts, knee high boots, a regular shirt, and a long coat. The Elf woman seemed to be looking for something. Before her eyes landed on Will and, she closed the distance between them.

"Hello there. Are you the new Adventurer?"

The She-Elf asked. Confused about what she would want, Will nodded before replying.

"Uh. Yes, I am. What do you need?"

The Elf gave him a very large grin. Then she spoke again.

"I am the Wizard Bliss. I have been asked to help you get your Party sorted out. We just need to head to the Inn to set up the recruiting process. It gives people time to see an Adventurer looking for a party and then the auditions themselves."

Bliss started to nod when listing off what was needed. The new Dragoon had never heard anything about that from the letters or from his recent interview. But he was still quite new in town, and this Elf did seem to know about him. The things needed seemed official enough as well. He was going to follow her lead for the time being.

"Okay then. Let me know where we need to go, I guess. I'm following you here."

The Dragoon said. Bliss nodded in reply before turning away. She walked in a direction, to Will it looked like she was trying to sway her hips as she walked. But with her coat, it just gave her a bizarre cadence movement. Will followed behind her, keeping a respectable distance.

Luckily, with the height difference, he was able to see over her head. So the Dragoon decided to look over the City as they made their way over to the Tavern. A shadow passed over the two. Looking up, Will could see it was an Airship. Its wings carve through the sky like Oars. The flying machine was floating slowly overhead, getting further and further away from the City until it was far enough out to safely pick up speed. It was a very majestic view for the town-raised guy.

Soon enough, the two arrived at an Inn. Over the front door was a sign saying Honeyoak Inn. This seemed to be the place Bliss was leading the new Adventurer to. The She-Elf opened the door and motioned for Will to follow her inside. Once within the main Hall, it looked like any other Inn he had been to. A little nook next to the door for the greeter's desk for the night shift. Further in was a main room with a firepit at its center. To one side was a sort of bar with stools. That was where people checked in during the day. With a staircase nearby.

What made this place different, though, was a door on the far side of the main room. Through it, he could see a large hall of sorts. Apparently, it was made to be rented out for events. And he would be able to use the credit to rent it out that day. In his opinion, it was a good idea to use it. They were far enough in the City for people to reach with ease. And it was in its own room in the Inn, so they wouldn't have to bother the Innkeeper or their customers.

Making the way to the bar where you check in, Will could see it was an Elf behind the counter. She had white skin, brown hair down to her upper back, and blue eyes. She smiled at both of them as they approached.

"I'm guessing this is the one you were talking about earlier?"

The Innkeeper asked. Bliss nodded and replied.

"He ended up a bit taller than expected. Nothing wrong with that, though."

The Innkeeper Elf was 5'9 with pale skin. She had long brown hair down to her upper back and Blue eyes. Also, having a lean body type fitting of an Elf.

Will was listening while they were talking. This made it seem more official to him. He quickly introduced himself.

"Hello there. I'm Will. The new Guild Dragoon. Thanks for helping."

The innkeeper elf focused on the Dragoon before replying.

"Glad to be of service. Also, my name is Joanna."

She looked around the Hall before finishing. "Luckily, we are dead right now. So we can get to it now."

Stepping from behind the counter, the Innkeeper pulled a pad of paper from her. Speaking to the two as she walked.

"Are we ready to do this now?"

Bliss looked to Will, and he gave them both a nod. Joanna gave the Wizard the paper and a bag.

"You get the Hall ready. I trust you two to get it done. I will get a sign up in the front."

Joanna spoke as she walked back to the counter, grabbing another bag from behind it. The Dragoon's last view of the Innkeeper was the Elf heading outside with the bag.

The two made their way to the side hall. There were four long tables in the center. Will and Bliss moved them into one long table to the side. Setting up two of the chairs on one side and a chair on the other. The rest were stacked on each other and set against the back wall. Inside the bag was a tablecloth and a few signs. Saying reserved and event entry here. The Dragoon put down the tablecloth while the Wizard mounted the signs.

By the time the two were done, Joanna had made her way back inside the Hall. Speaking as she looked over the work.

"Looks good in here. The sign is up. Man, it's cool outside. My hands were missing the fireplace out there."

Bliss and Will turned towards the Innkeeper elf, who was rubbing her hands together. The Dragoon rubbed the back of his head. He didn't even realize it was that cold outside.

"Sorry about that, Miss Joanna. If I had known it was that bad, I would have helped. I'm a natural heater, some say more of a boiler, so I didn't notice anything on the way here."

The Dragoon replied as he closed the distance between himself and the Innkeeper. Wrapping his hands around hers. The she Elf let out a surprised.

"Whoa. That feels nice and warm."

Rubbing her hands against Will's to heat them up. "You are right. You are a heater." Joanna continued.

The Wizard Elf hugged the new Dragoon from behind, catching him off guard as she placed her hands with the others. Chuckling as she did so. Speaking after pulling back.

"Will here would be perfect for cuddles. He is big and warm. Can probably put anyone to sleep in that heat."

The Innkeeper Elf switched to a strange smirk before replying.

"We have the time while we wait for the new members. We could go upstairs and rest while we wait. And if it's true, you won't have to worry about thick blankets."

Bliss gave her a strange look before asking. "All three of us, right?" Joanna smirked before continuing.

"Only spare bedroom has room for two people. We also need someone to watch the Hall for the new members. As the Guild Guide, you should be fine with that."

The clueless Human listened as the Elves went back and forth. He was about to try and convince the Innkeeper that all three could probably fit. But then her point about needing someone down there did make sense to him. So he looked over to Bliss.

"With how helpful you have been, I might ask you to be a party member, too. So don't worry, you can get your nap with me later."

The wizard elf released a confusing sound, but she was smiling with her eyes closed.

With that figured out, the Innkeeper grabbed the Human's hand and pulled him behind her. Leading him up the stairs to the next floor. She stopped at the third floor and led Will down a hallway. The new Dragoon could see that there were ten rooms on the floor. He would math it that since there are three floors there are a total of thirty rooms. But that forgets there are no rooms on the first floor. So, only twenty, which is still a lot. Her Tavern wasn't even the largest he saw on the way over. The Big City was very impressive.

The Innkeeper stopped at one of the doors. The Dragoon had been keeping close and didn't expect her to stop so suddenly. He almost ran into the shorter woman. Will had to catch himself on the wall by the door to keep from colliding with Joanna. This had the side effect of the dirty blonde holding himself up with an arm propped on either side of the woman. The She-Elf turned around to see this and smiled up at the Dragoon before speaking.

"You know. Usually, I am the tall one. This is nice."

The embarrassed Dragoon pulled away with a "Sorry."

The Tavern Elf smirked as she looked up at the Human. Taking a teasing tone, she spoke as she turned back to unlock the door.

"I wasn't going to complain. Cutie like you getting close like that is nice."

Sadly, for the poor new Adventurer. Some very important stats of his were too low for his own good. For now, his charisma and wisdom were not so good. His experiences, or lack thereof. Being from a small rural town. He was very naive and too trusting. He wasn't good at seeing through deceptions or even realizing they were there. But to be fair to Will. He was still quite new. It was his first day. And he was just happy to be there.

So please, keep all of that in mind as the day goes on. The Innkeeper decided to have a little fun as she pulled the new Adventurer inside with her. Closing the door behind them. She raised her arm up, the end of the fist facing the ceiling at an angle. Her other hand grabbed at the raised arm. Taking a mildly flirtatious tone as she spoke.

"Don't worry. If I didn't want you close, we wouldn't be up here. So please don't be nervous. I handle drunks trying to assault me all of the time. If I didn't want you close, I wouldn't have allowed it. I am a master of fuk-u-up."

She gave him a big grin before continuing. "I like you, big guy. And if Bliss trusts you, so do I."

The Dragoon looked down at the Elf with minor amazement. It did make sense to him that there would be a lot of lonely drunks at a tavern. He assumes the woman is pretty strong. He gave her a nod before replying.

"Good to know and glad to hear. I'm finally getting tired. It has been a long day already. How about we get some rest."

Joanna nodded and motioned to the bed before speaking again.

"I can't wait to try this supposed heater in bed. Strip and climb inside. The more layers, the less heat, obviously."

As soon as she was done speaking, the Elf was stripping to nothing, as if the new Adventurer wasn't there.

He was completely caught off guard as he watched the bare Elf butt slide under the blanket. She looked back with a confused expression, motioning for him to get in. Will stared at the bed before asking.

"I understand needing to go down to underclothes. But why naked?"

He was trying to wrap his mind around it so he wasn't red yet. She shrugged like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Less clothes, more heat. If you don't want to go full nude, that is on you. It is my Inn. I can go nude if I want to. Also, as an Adventurer, you are going to be surrounded by naked people all the time. If you don't have a carriage, no one has anywhere to be private. You will have to get used to looking at all kinds of ass at some point."

The Dragoon couldn't find a fault in her logic. As he thought it over more, that was when he realized just how personal things were going to get. He was going to see the worst of whoever he brought along. His brain cursed him with the image of a nekkid Dwarf. He was going to need to be extra careful when recruiting. After the mental shudder, the new Adventurer finished stripping down to his undershorts. Leaving his things in a pile off to the side. So it would be out of the way but easy to reach in case of an emergency. Satisfied, Will slid into the bed.

Just as soon as Will released the blanket, Joanna wrapped her arms and legs around his torso. She held on tight, nuzzling his chest as she spoke.

"You weren't kidding. You really are warm. It's like my own personal little, well big, heater."

Before the Dragoon could say or do anything, the Elf released him, ducking under the covers. The new Adventurer could swear he heard something strange. But then she was moving around under the blanket. When her head popped back out, she had maneuvered into a spooning position. Pressing her ass against his crotch. Will let her bring his arm around her, he had seen it before, so it should be fine. Also, her cool body did feel nice against him. He couldn't wait to get some sleep.

Closing his eyes, Will was starting to breathe deeply, already tired. That was when he felt something weird. Someone tapping his wrist. He opened his eyes again, glancing over to see it being the She-Elf. The Dragoon questioned her calmly.

"What do you need, Miss?"

She stared at the wall ahead of them, and after a moment, she asked.

"Do you think I am pretty?"

A very confused Adventurer replied, saying. "Why are you asking me that, Miss Joanna?"

She tapped his wrist as she continued quietly. "I can't seem to find any guys to show me affection that hasn't been drinking heavily. So I am assuming that I don't look pretty."

Will stared straight ahead. He was never good at trying to understand women. So he was going to try and hopefully calm her down.

"I think you are very pretty, Miss Joanna. And I would love to show you affection. But for one, I don't want to take advantage of you. And for the two of us, there is no guarantee of seeing each other often. I don't want to come off as the kind of guy that hits it and runs."

That seemed to be exactly what the Innkeeper was wanting to hear.

"Another question. Do you have any other funds beyond the two platinum credit?"

He looked away, a bit embarrassed, before replying.

"Not really, no. I was going to use the credit for supplies. I am not just a Dragoon because I am experienced with a long shaft."

She had a very interesting kind of smirk. "How about we make a deal then."

Will was confused but interested. He listened carefully. Joanna continued.

"I may or may not have a spare Amethyst Coin. Knowing Bliss, she would probably want a full party of ten. Also, I took it upon myself to add BYOG to the sign. It stands for Bring Your Own Gear. So the people coming will have their own equipment. You won't have to pay for it. With this Coin, you should be able to afford the full ten."

The Dragoon was at a loss for words. This woman already thought so far ahead with this stuff. It was such a big help. Also, she was very nice. The new Adventurer felt like he owed her now.

The Dragoon absent-mindedly embraced the She-Elf as he spoke.

"What would you like for it, Miss Joanna?"

And just like that, the trap sprung. The Innkeeper was a tricksy Elf. She has the ability to create a copy of a small object. It is so accurate that appraisers have a hard time telling them apart. The problem is that they fade away after a few days. So she can't be too crazy with it. And she only really uses it to spite people she doesn't like. Or what counts as an emergency situation for the Elf. She was mischievous, not malicious. Joanna was sure that Will would spend it by the end of the day. So it would be far enough away to not be noticed. This was the first time one of hers and Bliss' plans got so far. She wasn't going to miss her chance.

The She-Elf put a finger against her chin. Playfully thinking it over, then spoke.

"How about. You show me all of the affection. You take me here. And every time you have a spare moment in the City, you come here. Hells, you become a regular here. It is my Inn. So how about from now on, you and your Party will always stop here at least once, sure of your times in the City. Each and every visit, you claim me. And then the next day, I make you food."

She looked over her shoulder at the Human behind her. "How does that sound?"

Will was wrapping his mind around everything she said.

Then his face went red. Speaking to the shorter woman.

"It sounds like you are wanting me to marry you. As nice as you are, I don't want to get married so quickly. I did just become an Adventurer."

When she realized how dense and oblivious Will seemed. The Innkeeper knew how to commit to the next part of the plan. She pat his wrist as she replied.

"No cutie. Not wanting commitment. I am wanting fun with someone I trust. Someone I know won't try to hurt me. Hell, I want you to have as much fun as possible with whoever you and they are willing. Elf guys are boring; why I am here. Do you accept now?"

It took a bit of time for the dense Dragoon to figure out the Elf wanted a fun-focused friend with benefits. If that was the right term. He was thinking about whether he wanted to do it. It wasn't his first time, so he had no reason to care about it. He would get the shiny out of it. It made him feel a bit like a man whore for this. But in all honestly, that was something funny he could write home about. And then add that one of the reasons he became an adventurer was to do wild and crazy things. Banging an Elf, on his first day no less, probably counted. Also, a Bard that had passed through his town made a point that it was common for the adventurers to try to be with any and all wenches. So, her being an Innkeeper probably counted.

With that decided, he nodded as he spoke.

"How about this? I claim you here. Me and my Party become regulars. Visiting when we have the time. Since Bliss was already preferring this place. And I am really thinking of adding her to my Party. So you would have us two wanting to come here. Then add, every time I claim you in the future, I get some food the next morning or later in the day. Just be careful. If I get creative and take you behind the counter or alley. If we are doing this for the fun of it, we might as well have real fun."

He gave the Elf a smirk as he spoke. Joanna had a strange face. The Dragoon waited to see what her reply was.

He didn't have to wait long, though. The Innkeeper Elf had tackled him and pinned him down on his back, sitting on his lap. She grinned down at him as she answered.

"I accept. And I am already quite turned on by your words. So I suggest you use your big human arms and put this Elf in her place."

Before he could get a word out, she was bouncing her free breasts, putting on a small show. They were not the largest, only being around C Cups. But being the man he was. All boobs were good boobs. So he was already getting hard from under Joanna.

With a bit of chaos, the two were now switched. The Elf on her back with her arms pinned over her head, with the man holding her in place. He enjoyed the sight of the Elf laid bare for him. Joanna was already spreading her legs as he pulled his hard member free. She was quite wet. It wouldn't need to be eased in. Will had the idea of teasing her. But wanted to get to the main event already. So he pressed the head against her entrance. It sunk in deep without any kind of resistance. The Elf let out a deep moan as he bottomed out inside of her in one go. She was seeing stars at this point.

Taking no time to let her adjust. Will started to thrust into Joanna hard and fast. The Elf was moaning with each impact. There wasn't much to bounce, but the C Cups were bouncing from the force of the fucking. Since the woman couldn't do anything with her hands, she wrapped her legs around the Adventurer. She also clenched her pinned hands into fists. The Dragoon started to slam roughly inside of the woman. Turning her moans into deep groans from the rough treatment. During one hard thrust, Joanna had managed to free her arms. Which she immediately wrapped around Will. All four limbs being used to slam her own body onto his cock faster.

This claiming goes on for about twenty or so minutes. At some point, the Elf's embrace changes. Her hands closed around his shirt, almost scratching the Adventurer's back. He responded by using one hand to lube up one of his digits between her legs. And then teasing and pushing the finger into her ass. That is when Joanna decided to play dirty. She started to talk to Will.

"Breed your needy Elf. Make me overflow. Claim me so I am yours. You can fuck my ass whenever you want. I'll cook for my Human in just an apron. Cum in me now!"

The Dragoon decided to get back at the Innkeeper by biting her neck. But he wasn't far off.

His assault on her holes got rougher. Even adding a second finger to her ass. Joanna was reverted to a moaning mess from the treatment. He managed to outlast her. The Elf tensed up as her body was pushed over the edge. She turned into one continuous groan. She clenched up tightly on the fingers and cock inside of her as she came hard. That finally pushed Will over the edge as well. He thrust wildly until bottoming out inside of the woman. His body tensed up as his rod released load after load of cum inside Joanna. Twitching with each shot. The Elf moaned with each twitch. After a bit, both detensed.

The two's minds reset. They moved into a more comfortable position. With Joanna lying on top of Will. Since they were already a bit tired when they came up. They decided that they would sleep now. And so they did. get some sleep in. It was the reason they came up originally. And that was how some time passed. The Dragoon was awoken by a strange feeling. He opened his eyes to see that Bliss had climbed up the stairs, came into the room, and was trying to add herself to the cuddle pile by putting his free arm over her. Seeing that he was awake, she gave him a sheepish grin. She pressed her index fingers together before explaining.

"I came up to let you two know that I don't think we are getting any more potential party members coming in. I saw a spot for me to lay down."

Show motioned to her large breasts before continuing. "Magic can only do so much for these. I wanted to stretch out my back and enjoy the warmth a bit before waking you up. But since you are awake, let's head down."

The two awoke Joanna, the Innkeeper, and Dragoon got dressed. The group then made their way downstairs. Will was looking over the scroll with the names and classes of the applicants. Even as they made their way into the Event Hall and sat down. His focus was on the papers in his hands. Because of this, he didn't notice that the only people in the room were just Elves. Joanna split off after checking something to return to her work duties. It was just Will and Bliss now. He looked up into the crowd and realized that if there were more people waiting outside, in the Inn part, that there could be about a hundred people here. He didn't want to make anyone come for no reason, so he would have to go through them all. He let out a small sigh. It was going to be a long day. Luckily, it was just an hour or so into the afternoon. So they had time.

The first of the applicants approaches the table. She flaunts herself proudly as a rare, flat, Dark Elf. The Dragoon looked at his co-host, quite confused.

"Rare?"

He muttered to her. Bliss took that as a chance to explain the types of Elves to him. Dark Elves are from the deserts, and while having dark skin befitting the deserts, they also have pretty curvy bodies. High Elves coming from the Taigas of the north. They are taller with golden-tinted skin. Wood Elves come from the forest with pale skin. The Wizard herself was a Wood Elf. Wild Elves are shorter with pale skin. They tend to be Nomads in the Plains. And finally, how Drow come from underground lands. They don't have the best eyesight on the surface, but their purplish skin was quite exotic. Bliss also explained that.

"A proper Harem, I mean Party should have ten. You would have the best choice of options for any situation."

The Dragoon was still picking his brain over why the flat Dark Elf was a bonus that he didn't pick up the Wizard's slip-up. He pulled out the Coin the Innkeeper had given him.

"Something I understand right now, at least. Joanna traded me this. So we should be able to afford a full party of ten."

He then focused on the Flat Dark Elf. "While you are indeed flat."

She interrupted him more. "Ah, yes. Praise me more."

One eye threatened to twitch as he finished. "Do you have any other skills than just you being a Flat Dark Elf?"

She gave him a perplexed look and then shook her head. The Dragoon dismissed the woman. It was truly going to be a very long day. And this was just the first person. He wondered if this was common for the other Guild Adventurers. If so, that should be in the lessons. Be warned of idiots wasting your time.

It took him many hours, and it was into the evening. But, he had managed to siphon through the bulk of the useless Elves. Sadly, if it hadn't been for him picking Bliss as a guaranteed member, he wouldn't have had a full group of ten. It was about twenty Elves in that he was starting to wonder if something was up. But as his brain became mush from the useless idiots. It logicked himself that since the Innkeeper and staff were all Elves, they were probably in an Elf-only district of town. He could believe that, and it would explain why only Elves saw it. He put the Coin in a bag with a list of the accepted applicants for a Guild Representative in the Inn. They do official Guild things for a price. Will registered the Party with the Coin. The day was finally over.

His team was the Wood Elf Wizard, Bliss; she proved to be quite helpful and was actually pretty knowledgeable with magic. The Dark Elf Corsair, Janae, is a capable light fighter, like himself, with her buckler and Scimitar. The High Elf White Mage, Hyla, proved capable as well. Helping with the headache the rest were giving him. The Dragoon couldn't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation. The Dark Elf Bard, Tempo, she plays a Lute, and the music is actually pretty good. Zabby, the High Elf Black Mage. She wanted any excuse to use fireball. So he was sure they just had to aim her in the right direction and hope for the best.

Callie and Willow had come in at the same time. They seem to be in some kind of relationship. Callie is a Dark Elf Cultist with a groovy-looking Mace. Willow is a Wood Elf Ranger. She has a bow and a Dire Fox as a tracking companion. The Dark Elf Assassin Lex and her dual Daggers. She made a show of spinning them around. And last but not least. Bustani the Wood Elf Conjurer. She sneaks around books and tomes within pockets on the inside of her robes.

With the Party figured out and registered, it was time to clean up. Will went outside; since it had gotten cooler, he had offered to bring down the sign before Joanna had the chance to stop him. Once outside, he was met with quite the sight. The sign said. Party Harem needed. Elf Woman only. Bring your own gear. At least one part was true. He pulled it down with a sigh and an eye twitch. Bringing the sign back inside, he set it down next to the Innkeeper and Wizard. Confronting them.

"What is this all about?"

The Inn Elf brings the three back to the Hall to explain things more privately. She spoke about how Elvish men are boring, no matter the subrace. So, Elvish Women were trying hard to get non-elves to take advantage of them. But few do since they come on too strongly. So Elves are getting pent up and more mental. Under his judging eyes, she also admitted to the plan by Bliss and her and the fake Coin. That was when Will realized that he was now stuck in this situation until he had the funds to get a real party. The two Elves told him they had as long as it took him to get the money for a new Party to show him the joys of Elves. And with that, the three made their way back to the Inn proper.

Will sat at the bar and let his head drop on the counter. It was going to be a long life. The Innkeeper gave him something to drink on the house while Bliss sat next to him. Rubbing his back with a dumb grin. That was when the rest of the Party, realizing something was up, made their way over. The Dragoon answered their confused faces.

"Sorry, girls. I don't want to take my mood out on you. I was tricked into a situation. Technically, we are all in it now. And I don't want to be rude and make you think I hate you. I am just mad that it happened."

Lex and Zabby surprised him by stepping forward. Having a bit of manic confidence.

"You are a party leader now. We will follow you if you are mad. Point us in their direction. We will deal with them."

The Dragoon was curious about what they would do. So he motioned toward Joanna and Bliss. To even more of his surprise, the two new Elves assaulted the others. Lex chased the Innkeeper around the ground floor. Zabby smacked Bliss a few times with her staff. It did make him feel a bit better.

Feeling a bit better, the rest of the Party stuck around but did their own thing. Callie and Willow were having a drinking contest. Tempo was playing her lute, and Janae was dancing nearby. Bustani was sitting next to the Dragoon, having pulled out one of her books to read. Hyla sat down on his other side. She was rubbing his back. The White Mage gave Will a playful look before speaking.

"You know. As a Healer. I have learned every way to make someone feel better. Healing magic, listening to their problems."

She then made the jerking-off motion with her hand. "Also, how to make them feel better sexually. You are the new boss. If there is any way for me to make you feel better. Don't hesitate to let me know."

Will sighed as he looked over Hyla. He stared at her as he replied.

"How about you just listen for now? I am not in the mood for anything else right now. Sorry." The High Elf gave him a thumbs-up before speaking. "You got it, boss. I'm all pointed ears." Maybe it won't be that bad.
