the rest of karl's team entered, then stopped at the door when they felt the power of the gathered visitors.
one of the mages turned to them, and his evil smirk turned to an honest smile. "well, this is unexpected. yes, this works very well. i approve of sending them all together." he announced.
dana turned to karl, who motioned for them to move to a side room.
"i will keep it short because they're getting impatient.
i am being exiled as a threat to the power balance. they haven't said where to yet, but it's unlikely to be somewhere nice, and the danger level will be high enough that if i do reach totem rank, it won't even make a ripple in their local power balance.
the problem is that it's almost certainly not going to be somewhere human-friendly. you all have the choice if you want to go with me, and possibly never come back, or remain here under the protection of totem lord ahmad."
karl couldn't remember if that part had been explicitly stated, but he was certain that the mage could be counted on for at least that much. dana understood right away what the danger was, and ophelia wasn't far behind her. both looked vaguely horrified, but tessa had a placid look, as if she had made peace with her decision, whatever it was. in contrast, lotus looked outraged. nôv(el)b\\jnn
"you're not taking all the beasts and leaving. nope, no way. if you go, i go."
yeah, that was about what he should have expected.
ophelia sighed. "you know it's impossible for me to say no now. if you had left without saying anything, i would have made peace with your choice. but given the option, i can't just abandon my friends."
"welcome to the city of drodh. the entry fee is one silver coin each." the guard blocking the path toward the city announced.
karl took out a gold coin and flipped it to the guard, who took out five silver coins and handed them to dana, who had just come through the portal.
the others followed close behind, with ophelia going last, right before the portal closed and another opened to let a group of demons pulling large carts through.
in front of them were masses of simple wood buildings, looking both aged and hastily constructed at the same time. it appeared that the portal area was in an outlying, impoverished area past the city walls.
at least, they all hoped that it was going to get better once they got in the city itself.
karl brought up the system interface as he walked toward the city, away from the busy portal. nearly everyone here had a name visible above their head, showing that they had a class from the system. warriors made up nine out of ten, but there were rogues, mages and a few shamans visible as well. clerics were rare, and karl hadn't seen any yet, but there were a few other colours that he didn't immediately recognize.
there didn't seem to be any restriction on skill use in the city, other than damaging spells, and most residents had some sort of defensive magic active. so, karl brought out the guardian to spread [void body] to the whole group, along with the [eternal lightning] barrier. that should be safe enough for now.
everyone was giving them a wide berth, despite the busy street. that seemed a bit odd, as there was no shortage of overlord rank demons and monsters in the crowd. it wasn't as if he were an overwhelming force here, and even the weaker adult residents were mostly commanders.
then karl realized what the issue was. everyone had a system active, and when a stranger in a black and white tabard bowed to him as they passed, it reminded karl to see what was visible from his own status.
{monarch karl} in the deep red colour with black trim distinctive to the packmaster.
{grand war champion of the darklight host}
he was wearing a guild war champion tabard openly in the city.
