A lot of things happened all at once. First was the sudden influx of an absolutely monumental amount of divine mana — the kind that would escape the notice of most people's But the caution was warranted, in Sev's opinion. The magic was terrifying. It acted like no form of divine magic he'd ever seen before. Layers of divine mana twisted themselves over him, then attached to his body — to his Just as quickly as it began, it was over. The notification box vanished, and the storm of divine mana…-

Velykos was silent for a moment, processing Sev's words. He seemed to use gardening as a distraction as he thought, bending down to pluck weeds from the dirt with a delicate precision that Sev admittedly would not have expected from him. Every weed he plucked disintegrated as he clenched his fists, which... ...admittedly, Sev was a little worried about that part. He was relatively certain Velykos hadn't been disintegrating plants before. A larger part of him, though, was more relieved that there had been…

Sev found Velykos in the gardens behind the temple again, rather than inside the temple proper. It was quite the sight, really. As old as Velykos was, he was still The garden itself was beautiful. Part of it was set out to harvest potion ingredients, that much was clear — there were rows and rows of identical plants, each in various stages of growth and carefully marked accordingly. But the rest of it? The rest of it was beautifully laid out, more haphazard art than anything orderly; clusters of…

The half-orc pulled up the box for Sure enough, it took only a slight twist of perspective for the skill to suddenly flicker, changing form. She flicked copies of that box over to the other four without saying a word. "...So the anchor's merged with you in some way?" the Guildmaster frowned at the box for a moment, then glanced at Vex. "Do you know if it's possible to separate the item and the skill after something like this happens?" "You haven't seen something like this before?" Vex asked,…

They stepped through the doorway into the Guild, and the Guildmaster paused as she was speaking; she glanced expectantly to the desk where Max usually sat as the receptionist, and frowned slightly when she saw the desk was still empty. "I hope Max is alright," she muttered. "Is there any reason she wouldn't be?" Sev asked, a note of worry entering his voice. The Guildmaster shrugged, gesturing into the air as she seemed to check through her messages; seeing nothing, she shook her head and dismissed it.…

The temple's activity stopped almost instantly the moment Derivan walked in with Kestel in his arms. Many priests had a basic It was a small corner of the temple, admittedly, compared to the large marketplace they kept for potions and other healing products. The problem lay in the fact that it was rare for them to really have to keep patients for long; illnesses outside the scope of standard healing spells and the buffer of health were uncommon. Status effects that could not be instantly cleared were…

Misa stared at the wording of the skill, briefly speechless. The others went silent as well. It took a moment for them to process what it all That was a little outside the scope of what they'd expected. Misa was the first one to speak. "Is this the reason I didn't die?" Misa said. Her words were soft, and she reached out to brush the edge of the box with a finger; the corners fizzled as she touched it. "When my village was attacked?" "Perhaps it is the reason you were able to stabilize your…

The first problem appeared almost immediately — Derivan found that he couldn't move. He wasn't as worried about it as he thought he should have been, though he stopped mid-walk and that caused his friends to look at him with concern and alarm. The second problem took a moment to appear, and it was in the spate of notifications that immediately appeared to him. Part of the problem here was that Derivan didn't really have a way to communicate that he was "I can't get a foothold on anything to…

"Though you wouldn't "Well, no, of course not," Misa said, looking suspiciously willing to do exactly that. She glanced surreptitiously at Sev and Derivan, then leaned in to Vex, mock-whispering. "I mean, those two won't, but you just tell me who we need to kidnap—" " A small shadow crossed his expression, and he shook his head, changing the subject. "Let's figure out everything we can about the reality anchor first, and then when we've gotten the chance to rest a bit I'll tell you what I can. I...…

They were leading the way back towards the Guild. They'd tried to get Kestel to tell them about whatever status effect he had, but the lizardkin seemed incredibly reluctant to talk about it, and Sev didn't push the matter. There was the small matter of the Yet, anyway. The group was much larger than they were used to, though, and Sev couldn't help but keep glancing back, worried that — today of all days — they would be attacked. Monster attacks in the wild weren't necessarily They'd be fine, he…
