- Chapter Fourteen -

The rest of the meeting went surprisingly smooth without Milo's excellent attitude. Thad's guild mate showed up with the quest details for "Medai's Dagger" and we started to come up with a plan. No, this isn't the floor boss. But if there are still quests out there like this, I can only imagine how hard the floor one boss will be. So we'll all need the experience.

Thor had about the same ideals as Milo so he opted out if the raid. That left us with Thad, Freya and their guilds.

The War Maidens consisted of 6 various class female players and 1 male tank. Dozer. He was also Freya's older brother and yes, he's actually built like a bulldozer.

Withered Iron has 12 tanks. Well, they technically have 10 tanks, an archer and Thad but they're all tanks to me.

Add in us 5 from Twin Gryphon Alliance and we have 24 players.

The plan is simple. We split up into 4 groups of 6 players, coordinate our attacks efficiently and try to defeat the boss. Each group will have at least 3 tanks so I think we'll be well enough protected.

After discussing when the raid will happen, we all stood and formed a circle. "I think we can make this happen." Thad said, putting an arm around Firefly who warmly accepted it.

I don't know if he was talking about the raid or hooking up with Firefly but everyone cheered.

We all exchanged friend requests and shook hands. Thad came over to Parks, Ronin and me. "I'll see you guys back over here in two days." He said, shaking our hands.

"Did you want that battle axe for the raid?" Ronin asked, "Cuz we're gonna need to get the materials for it today if so."

Thad looked surprised, "Holy shit! I forgot about that!" He turned to me, "What are you gonna need?"

"About 10 ingots of whatever material you want it made out of. I should have everything else." I replied.

He looked puzzled. "I thought it only required 6 ingots to build a battle axe?"

"You want it upgraded don't you?" I said with a smile and slapped him on the arm.

He laughed and nodded. "Where are you guys staying? I'll bring it to you this afternoon."

Firefly and Cherry walked up. "You're coming to the house this afternoon!?" Firefly asked, excitedly. "You can stay for dinner! Bring Gojira too!"

"Did someone say dinner?" Gojira asked, walking up behind them with Freya.

We all laughed. "We're renting the house just north of the hunting grounds. It has an anvil there so if you bring me the ingots this afternoon, I should have it done by dinner time. You can come too, Freya." I said.

"I'll be there." She said smiling.

A huge smile formed on Thad's face now. "We'll be there too. Just give me a few hours to get the stuff." He said, getting an even bigger smile from Firefly.

We all said our goodbyes and started to leave. Familiars aren't allowed in the guild building so when we walked out, Sampson was hopping up and down like a dog squawking his head off. "Whoa! Settle down buddy, we're heading home."

He nudged my hand with his beak, and walked by our sides the whole way back.
