"Well I guess good job everyone?....." Chuckles Mevis wryly as he looks at the carnage around him. "...Unfortunate that we couldn't get any of them alive, and sadly I doubt this will be the last we hear of them either. I don't care too much about the wealth or bounty so you two can take as much you want, I'm just glad we were able to save the victim." Says Mevis as he attempts to untie the female. "Once again, thank you all for helping me..." And Mevis bows
Luis
*Nodding in Mevis's direction, he turned towards the Macen boy.* 
"At the end of the day, it worked out well," Arthur spoke. "We cannot be too relaxed foe there may be more cultists nearby, and the city guard is approaching soon to loot- I mean, 'investigate' -the valuables. I'd recommend taking what you can."
*Arthur quickly spotted something valuable among the corpses. Not knowing it was the Almain Rivet, he looked at the piece of armor, and dragged the corpse it guarded along with him further into the forest. Pocketing an extra couple of gold chalices as well, and making off with some daggers, he put them into his backpack. The armor looked very valuable, and Arthur intended to keep this as his trophy while also collecting the reward money. After all, 150 silver would not to compare to something of this... Value.*

Mai returned to where she threw her coat, shifting into her human form again. She put on her outfit and her black coat.
She ran toward the group again, looking around for something interesting for her. She spotted the chalices, but decided to not to take it. She didn't have a home or house, she travelled through the cities to make her spectacle, so nothing in there would help her with it.

"I thought it was going to be... More uh, dangerous? I mean, none of us got any severe injury, right?" She arched an eyebrow, and glanced at the forest.

*As the three attended to whatever business they saw fit, the city guard came through the forest and into the clearing. The captain rode at the front, with a guard on either side of him. He stopped his horse before the scene, making a gesture to have the other guards line the perimeter.* "I see the cultists have already been dealt. All dead, I presume?" *The captain visibly did a headcount, muttering to himself.* "Eight dead, earning you lot a total of..." *He held a hand out as one of his men hastily counted the gold and placed into a big for the captain,* "Twelve pieces of gold. Four a piece, though it doesn't concern me how you divide it." *Once someone took the gold, the guards would begin collecting the bodies and items strewn about. As one of the knights came to secure the sacrifice, she handed Mevis a golden chalice she had swiped from the ground. Without another word, she was assisted onto the horse, and she rode away.*

**QUEST COMPLETE**
*1.2 PP awarded each*
Luis
*Arthur stays in a forest enclosure, unseen by the guards. He keeps the body hidden within the bushes so he could keep the armor for himself, but decides to go interact with the guards.*
"Hey," He begins. "Were there any other signs of dangerous cultists around here? Or just any threats in general?"
John
"No," *One of the guards say, lowering his crossbow as he looks at Arthur,* "The only disturbances reported in this area were suspected to be linked with this group. We get the occasional horse thief and pickpocket, but if you're looking bounties like that, try the New Sunlight Guild." *The woman speaking raised her visor before nodding over to the bonfire.* "Good work here, by the way."
Luis
"The New Sunlight guild..."
*Arthur had never heard of the group prior to this encounter. Perhaps he could find more quests to do there, even better: a stable source of income for the kitsune.*
"Hey, about the new sunlight guild, where are they located, and are they currently offering any quests to partake in?" Arthur asked the woman with the visor.
John
"They're, uh... Here, lemme just give you this." *The guard leaned to one side, pulling a parchment from one of her pouches. She handed it to Arthur. Within, he'd find a short description of the guild and where to find them, along with a crude illustration of the map, highlighting where the headquarters was located in reference to New Salvainia.* "They've been on the rise lately, hiring plenty of new members. I know they're initiates, Fledglings, they call them, I know they hunt down petty criminals. I think the older, tougher ones get into bigger scrapes, but I'm not sure what."
Jeffrey
*Mevis also walks out of the forest, following Arthur for a bit, trying to hide himself. After evaluating the encounter, Mevis was too ashamed to show himself infront of the others. He though the Kitsune and him were very similar. Both of them seemed to suffer from a dark past, and they both liked bread, but Arthur was so much stronger and brave. He took out most of those cultists by himself with no injuries while Mevis barely fended off two and got his back injured. It would be disgraceful to compare such a strong warrior like that to someone as pathetic as himself. 
Mevis clenches his fists in frustration. He wanted to get stronger, he wanted to save more people. But how?
He then overhears Arthur asking the guard about some sort of guild, and listens in on the conversation. A guild that hunts down criminals? That would certainly help Mevis in his goal, and he could possibly learn from the stronger members there. Mevis doesn't have the map though, so he decides to sneakily follow Arthur in hopes that he will lead Mevis there.*
Luis
*Arthur walks out of the forest with the corpse of the cultist leader dragging behind. After carefully taking off the Almain Rivet the cultist had on, he put the pieces inside his backpack. It was fairly heavy, but Arthur now had a different goal in mind. He wanted to find out on the whereabouts to the New Sunlight guild, in hopes for more bounty to hunt. Looking on his map, he saw that it was far down the road he was currently on. Arthur decided to take a quick rest on the side of the road, savoring his new loot. He stops to sit on the side of the road, taking in what he had just done. Never before had he been so violent in combat; he was somewhat ashamed of how he had fought back there, fueled by naught but his blind rage and fury. Could he really forgive himself for what he'd done? For how brutally he had fought? Arthur pondered for a second, while taking out a loaf of bread, chewing absentmindedly. He sat on the side for god-knows-how-long, and decided to nap until the new morning. After all, with all the blood that covered his body, he didn't think any smart thief or burglar would try and assault him. He started sleeping next to the corpse of the cultist, not getting bothered by that rancid, odious smell.*
Jose
While walking back to the city, Mai saw Mevis following Arthur through the forest. She decided to follow them in curiosity, being silent always. Even if her hair could catch their attention, she continued. What were they doing? She covered her body with the black coat, approaching to Mevis with a smirk as she realized what he was doing. She whispered behind him.

"What are you doing, uh?" She arched an eyebrow.
Jeffrey
"Ah!- " Yelps Mevis as he leaps a few feet into the air before landing on the ground with his hair standing on end. "Oh, uh, it's you. Please don't sneak up on me, I feel like I lost a few years of my life... Any way I am, uh, looking for, uh..." 
He looks around and realizes there isn't anything he could really use as an excuse and sighs. "I get the feeling that was a rhetorical question, wasn't it..."
Luis
*Arthur continues sleeping.*
Jose
Mai chuckled a bit. "Yes, it was. Why are you following Arthur?" She arched an eyebrow. She glanced at Arthur from far and saw he sleeping. Why was he sleeping? She blinked a few times, signaling to Mevis to keep quiet and follow her. 
She slowly approached Arthur, seeing the cultist's corpse next to him. What was he doing next to the corpse? Why he was sleeping next to it? She thought a bit, looking down at Arthur.

"Why is he sleeping next to it?" She whispered.
Jeffrey
Mevis looks over to Arthur and the body with an equally confused face and shrugs. "Uh, I don't know? I would say maybe he wanted the armor, but I doubt that given how skilled he is. The armor doesn't look like it will do him much good and he wouldn't be stupid enough to drag a body with him just for that. Perhaps the body has something on it that only he noticed?" Says Mevis hoping to distract Mai from the question about why he was following Arthur.
Jose
Mai thought a bit, crouching and kneeling next to Arthur. She was silent all the time, looking down at him and then at the corpse.

"Maybe. But you didn't answer my question."
Jeffrey
"Uh..." Mevis thinks for bit but realizes there isn't any reason to really lie, after all, he was following Arthur to possibly join the New Sunlight Guild. Nothing worth lying over. "Well, I overheard him talking to one of the guards about this guild that hunts down criminals. I want to do more good deeds like what we did in that forest. I also want to get stronger. So I figured I would follow him till we reached there."
Jose
"Oh, that's cool! I would try to help you guys... But I don't know. Only if they accept dancers. Pfft." She chuckled a bit, thinking a bit. She then looked back at Arthur and decided to wake him up.

"Wake up." She lightly shook him. Her light blue eyes looking at him, a smile forming on her lips.
Luis
*Arthur felt a slight tapping on his shoulder. He didn't want to wake up, as it felt like he had just fallen asleep. It reminded him of the countless times his younger brothers would try and wake him up in the middle of the night as a joke, so Arthur had become accustomed to this kind of stimulation. He kept on sleeping.*
Jeffrey
Mevis is surprised that this isn't enough to wake him up. If it was Mevis, the slightest touch would've sent him into a panic, there are many dangerous things that could attack you when sleeping after all. But in any case do they need to wake him up right now? Mevis still felt slightly embarrassed to show himself, so he calls over to Mai
"Um, maybe we don't need to wake him up right now? Must be exhausted from all the fighting. We could just wait till he wakes up and follow him from there."
