Chapter 31

Thalia's dreams moved on to a paint by numbers before settling on the image of what looked like a human boy in Ghostwood but could not have been and was probably an undead with a juvenile form. Arrowslung, the zombie in question, pulled out a tool that most people would recognise, it was one of the pointy things that builders used to apply pointing, and laid the first brick of a building that was going to be the adventurer's guild covering the undead dungeon nearby.

Rajesh had finished adding the bathtub like spawn points and their power sources across the game world he had been building from the fork of the solar system map. Near the green-skin dungeon he added a map pin that read future site of Gowthe. Now he had to decide which jurisdictions to found the company that would make the game in - all of them seemed a little overkill but would give him the best protection against trademark trolls. Now how was he going to enable a full dive into the digital duplicate of his realm? Research was in order...

As he sits there pondering this Rajesh gets an alert, someone got the sword swallowing skill and a quest to eat a specific sword. The alert was issued because this was the first quest generated through the system rather than by the guild or an individual. Looks like it's the broadsword belonging to the best friend of the person with the quest, Bess Sworddancer needed to temporarily ingest the enchanted sword carried by Melissa Spellbourne.

Wolfe was still upset with his father's actions, he should have been set upon his journeyman path instead of just being kicked from the house though the system disagreed and said it thought he has produced a masterpiece already and was assigning him to be the principal glass blower and glazier for Retown whilst his mother would take over here in Tonin's Harbour, a name that had spread to cover the whole of the settlement that was the capital of the Bishopric of Principality. The debt for his life was repaid when his father evicted him but he needed to earn money going forward.

Clarrissa had spent the last three years having trouble improving her aromatherapy skills to the standard required to practise under the new laws, which included a medical licence. She was slightly annoyed that she had a listed class of shopkeeper rather than medical student which she felt would more accurately reflect the situation. Another part of it was worrying about her former best friend Karen who still hadn't completed her rehabilitation. Caring about Clarrissa was one of the success criteria for Karen.

Whilst waiting for inspiration to strike and to take her mind off the perceived betrayal, Clarrissa was helping the Adventurer's guild with practice chases for those wanting to challenge the hotel dungeon. She was doing so at the recently opened Retown branch where most of the Adventurers were human but the senior guild officials were still demons.She was grateful she had yet to experience the new grocery shop boss in either its normal form or alternative milk and cornflake bullet hell mode.

A group had found a dungeon where you had to dress as astronauts but the costume could be switched so that it became a sort of underwear with only the part that would normally be that and a helmet still resembling a space suit. The first found in human held lands.

Raymond, the "rabbitkin escapoligist" (who was biologically human but cosmetically a Rabbitfolk) was preparing to put on a medly of Queen songs after being caught posing as a woman for purely finical reasons by a local school.

The dungeon was currently trying to work out how to connect the two planets with magic portals so wasn't currently paying attention but when it reviwed the events was inspired to add a level famed on the famous video for "I Want to Break Free." Where Freddie Mercury dresses as a housewife. It's current first and only level themed on "Space Oddity" by David Bowie. Maybe it would also add a timed survival level where they all had to listen to "Another One Rides the Bus", that parody which was supposed to have launched Weird Al. Hmm, each level themed after a different famous song from the 1970s on Earth. It would need some more knowledge, levelling itself as a bard might help it with the skills needed to dig into the archives held within the system.
