Onward to Greater Challenges, Part 6: The Dejection

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
I'm bored.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
We can't do any Quest while we're at zero Hit Point anyway.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Can't we travel to another place? At least somewhere with a scenery?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
We can't do that. Traveling is considered a Quest. Taciturn Female Healer can take us but she'll get all the Experience and loot.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Can't we check the surrounding area for Dungeons?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
That's a Quest too.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What about making a delivery?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Quest.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Part-time job?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Quest, too.

Noisy Boy
Taciturn Female Healer single-handedly defeated Random Goblin Party!

***

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Explain to me something...

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Ask away, fellow member of our depressing gathering of zero Hit Point unfortunates.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Where did you get an Epic Name? As I understand, an Epic Name requires either an Epic Class or a parent who's in an Epic Class.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Oh, my name's given by my mummy. She's the Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Scarlet... your mother is the Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow!?

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
Privileged am I to be in the presence of the progeny of such a famous heroine!

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Wait, Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman was here the whole time?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Scarlet-Wrapped Maiden of the Burning Arrow is at least a Level-2000 Deadly-Eye Mummy! And that's an Epic Class!

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Level 2425, last she told me.

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
I do wonder what man could have sired a child with a lady of such greatness.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Oh, uh, I don't really like to talk about daddy.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Why not?

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
He kind of knocked-off mummy, ran away and left me as a souvenir.

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
What man would dare offend an Epic-Class lady in such a manner!? What wrath could she visit upon so audacious a man!?

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Heavenly Bronze Narcissus.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
You're joking.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
No, I'm not.

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
Correct me if I am mistaken but is not Heavenly Bronze Narcissus a Level-9999 Demigod of Glory?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Demigod of Glory is an Immortal class!

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
That's him.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
At least we now know where you've got your charming personality from.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
What was that?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
I said, 'we now know where you've got your charm from'.

That Annoying Interrupting Man
Taciturn Female Healer just beat Emerald-Scaled Dragon of Dizzy Cliff Roost.

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
I must announce that my patience has reached its end!

***

Cliched Spikey-Haired Swordsman
Though there are only three days left before we are restored of our condition of Out, I shall pay for Ressurrects for each of us so we may adventure again!

Typical Bespectacled Mage
That's nice, except that we need a Hospital for that and, as we've discovered when we arrived, there's none in this settlement.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
And there's no Healer capable of Resurrect among the travelers. I checked, everyday.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
There should be a Hospital at That Other Town.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
But as you say, it's a Quest to travel there.

***

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Two days left to positive Hit Points...

Hey, could Taciturn Female Healer have done that?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Done what?

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Beat Emerald-Scaled Dragon of Dizzy Cliff Roost?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Think about it. Emerald-Scaled Dragon of Dizzy Cliff Roost is a level 500+ F-Rank Forest Dragon. That is a Prestige Class. Taciturn Female Healer is only in a Basic Class. She would have to be at least level 1000 in her present class to take on that thing alone.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Then what about what That Annoying Interrupting Man shouted in our faces earlier?

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Oh, that? I noticed that he only told that news to us and no one else. Also, there's no other mention of this among the rumors and we've lots of time to listen to rumors.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
So... Taciturn Female Healer sent him to taunt us.

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Correct.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
I hate her.

****

Taciturn Female Healer
Hey, everyone, I'm back!

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
Oh, look who's decided to join us!

Typical Bespectacled Mage
Is that a new Steel Battle Ax I'm seeing? Been harassing the local population, I guess.

Taciturn Female Healer
Oh, I haven't just been fighting. I've explored the area and found several Dungeons we can try once everyone's back to positive Hit Points tomorrow.

Gorgeous Lady Archer of Epic Grace
We love you!
