Chapter 790 Group Split
Karl worked late into the night, making dozens of jewellery pieces of different sorts, a few more fireball staves, a dozen more fireball wands like the ones for the academy. That should be enough to take the shop through the next day, as the collection was now larger than what they had sold during the previous shift.
With the shop closing at dusk, they were able to work a few extra hours after and get ahead of their anticipated sales.
When the next morning arrived, Karl realized that Remi had been up all night, and she had made a massive supply of potions, enough that she likely wouldn't need to do it again for a month. She had cleared large patches of her space for materials, but that would grow back quickly enough. The important part was that she hadn't used up any of her resources. So she didn't lose anything, other than some time.
Everyone gathered on the second floor, and Karl outlined his plan for the day.
"We made more than enough items for the shop last night, so everyone should be free until at least noon today, other than Davis and Mick."
Karl stopped to give Mick an apologetic look, as Davis wouldn't be in for another two hours.
"So, I have a plan. What I would like to know is if having some of my beasts go in first will block me from going into the dungeon separately.
If they can go on their own, and we can go as well, then we can build up a huge amount of loot, as long as we take the time to gather the junk and raw materials.
What I'm thinking is that we send Rae, Cara, and Hawk now. Then, once they're done, the rest of us will go in a couple of hours. If it doesn't let me in, then Remi and Thor will do my share of the grunt work, and we will know what to do for next time.
If it does let me in, even after they have cleared the dungeon, then we can get two shares of the loot and nobody has to sit out."
"Well, how about we taste test some local beverages and then head back to the house? We can go back in later." Karl suggested.
"Not much else that we can do." Ophelia agreed.
Guild coordination would be an important aspect of management if they had more people, but at least at this point Karl knew that they should be able to enter, just not right away.
He was about to lead them all to the coffee shop where he had found the mage when an oddly pained aura caught his attention.
Karl couldn't locate the source of the distress, but there was something wounded nearby, and he was almost certain that it was a beast.
"One moment, I want to find something before we stop. I can feel something's distress, and I might be able to help." He explained quietly, not wanting to alarm the others walking down the street, as they wouldn't understand that he was likely talking about an injured pet, not a person in need.
Karl turned left until the sensation of distress felt like it was in front of him, then he walked down a side street and between a pair of large manor houses. They were headed for the shore, and that was where Karl got the feeling that the distress was coming from.
They were well past the docks, close to the wall, when they reached the shore in the wealthy district of Stone Chapel.
Now, even Lotus could sense it, and she was looking for the distressed animal.
Neither of them could see it, so Karl started searching with other forms of vision.
Right at the wall, when they were ready to double back and try again, Karl spotted it with Soul Sight. There was a crystalline cocoon on the shore, and it gave off a powerful aura, as well as the sense of distress.
