The battle started as soon as they accepted Fayt’s plan.
-Look what we have here, a bunch of mutated monkeys ready to die.
The Hobgoblin had a soft and threatening voice. I was truly an intelligent villain voice. He took out a saber and readied for battle.
The first 10% of HP was very easy, the group controlled the terrain very well and did the formation they decided to do.
-Hmm I see…
It was then the boss gave an ominous call.
-Reserve! Attention!
And then chaos ensued. Goblins started to come out of the entrance, from holes dug on the walls. Burrowed from the floor. It started slow, 2 goblins at a time, but every 5% the boss lost, the amount of goblins that appeared doubled.
At 50% the amount of goblins was 14. 14! Of a mix of miners, scouts and guards. To top it all the boss showed a new skill.
-You bunch of maggots, don’t think I’ll let anyone who loses free from training!
Suddenly a yellow aura appeared in each of the goblins that appeared and they got faster. It was like they were desperate.
-MP is at 20%
-Mine is also not that good.
-Hold the attack magic, only do AoE against the goblins. Tagmar, help the casters. Mitras, I saw your video, take Tagmar’s place.
-Fayt!
Tagmar was not happy.
-It’s the way Tagmar, do it.
-Tch
-G-going in.
Both players exchanged places, now Mitras was right in the face of the hobgoblin. He kept his dance, but just like the assassin, he had little time to attack, having to focus on defence instead. He needed some way to damage the boss.
He has the time to throw Axis up, the problem is being able to do a form to catch it and direct it to the boss.
If he could make Axis attack while falling, like a comet, it would be perfect, but no matter how much he fights, it doesn't happen.What is missing?
-He is 40%, keep it up!
Time is running out, Tasha only attacks sometimes, when the goblins are too much. Beary barely heals the party, she just keeps us from dying.
The cuts from the saber are starting to be too much.
-30%
His armor is starting to be in tatters. He will need to make a new one, he gotta start thinking on the materials for the next one.
-20%
Tasha dies. Now Tagmar has to protect Beary at all costs.
-10%, almost there!
Beary dies.
-Tagmar keep the goblins away! Does anyone have a big attack?
Mitras gets Dance to level 30, immediately he spends a skill point
Unlocked Dance steps
Suddenly crystals appeared at the bottom of this vision.
Tagmar Dies.
-5% Mitras get ready, the goblins are coming.
He kept using his forms in his evasion, always coming back to one he thinks is the best for the situation, but now with the crystals, he realised when he gets to certain forms one of the five crystals shine. It was an almost impossible task, but he decided to shine all five.
It was hard, he had to discover two of the crystals, but with the amount of goblins now, he did all kinds of contortionist poses and forms and soon he did it.
When the fifth crystal shined the world got slightly purple and Mitras realised, the goblins and the hobgoblins got slow, very slow. It took just a few seconds, and the world came back to normal.
He took a hit and died.
Back at Ezca and after the death time off, the guild got back together.
-Again?
-Yes please!
-Wow Mitras, you're excited now.
-I-I just got Dance to Expert.
-Aaah, new skill. Great, let’s do this then.
At the boss room there was a small line of groups.
-Dammit the forum thread got traction.
They watched the groups in front of them try the Hobgoblin. But many died at 50% of his HP or at the end like it was with Sunstar.
-This time we can do it!
And so they did.
The fight was completely different. Mitras kept hitting the crystal forms and whenever he did it he could attack twice before it ended.
In the end, when they, last time, were almost dying, Tagmar was protecting the girls from the goblins and Mitras with the hobgoblin, Mitras could actually do damage whenever all five crystals shined.
-You monkeys, you will pay for this.
The Hobgoblin tried but he couldn’t take all the damage.
He died.
The moment he fell, the goblins started to run away and an item fell from the hobgoblin’s body.

Speak to your guild members no matter where you are
Buff activated if kept in a Guild House.
-Is this good?
-I don’t know.
-We should sell it.
-N-no!
-Hmm?
Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.
-W-we can talk to Winnie…
Mitras knew how bad it was to not be able to talk with Bjarke from far away. With this flag if he was in the guild they could talk anywhere.
-Ooohhh.
-That’s so true!
-Keep it, keep it!
The way back was excitable. Full of fights at first, but when getting to the room where Mitras fought the assassin and beyond that, no goblins appeared.
It seems they fixed the problem.
At Ezca…
-T-thank you all for the help.
-We’re guild mates, always call us for these things and get to level 60 soon, you gotta go to the Scrapyard!
They said their goodbyes and Mitras went to see Watts.
-You did it! You saved the mines, thank you!
-N-o problem, I did say I would help. But I got help from my guild too the Sunstar.
-Ooh, If I’m not wrong you guys are my clients too.
-E-exactly, Otto and us.
-I’ll send a present to Otto then, he deserves it for finding you, and for you? Hmmm let me see. How about a discount?
-T-that would be great.
-If you knew Blacksmith I’d give you a hammer, but you don’t.
-A-ah wait. I want the hammer.
-Why?
-For the guild, we have a blacksmith there.
-I see, okay then, I will send to your Guild House, now get out of here!
World Notification
Sunstar Guild did a great service for Dwarfs
Race unlocked to all players
-O-oh my.
----------------------------------------
At the barrack of Tairo.
-I hear your Guild did something big, love.
-Not that big.
-I bet it was.
Bjarke had spooned Mitras.
-We actually helped a dwarf, but it seems it was something that helped a lot of dwarfs.
-See, told you.
-Humpf
-Cutie.
They shared sweet nothings and a few stories about Bjarke work and soon fell asleep.
----------------------------------------
The next day, back at HQ…
-Oh Mitras thank you! I love the new hammer!
-N-no problem.
-I actually had to talk to you.
-Is everything all right?
-Yes, but we need to do staves! I wanted to do them for so long but you’re always doing something.
-O-oh, sorry, I guess I’m free now.
-Yes! Let’s go then, to the workshop!
-Do we know what materials we’re going to use?
-Silver!
-And?
-Silver!
-Haah, okay let’s get to drawing then.
Beary’s was a scepter made out of silver, the top had a space for a circular object. On it they decided to make a little statue of closed angel wings made out of gold. Tasha’s Staff would be an inner wire made out of silver and baubles that had shapes of the elements of the game would be inserted in the wire, to make it more substantial.
Winnie would do the base of Beary’s scepter and Tasha’s inner wire, while Mitras would do the angel wings and the baubles.
The angel wings would be quite a fun project, he used a type of wax to sculpt the wings, then used a foundry. It was a process that used wax and plaster to encase the wax. Then left it to dry. When the plaster was completely dry, it would be sent to the foundry to heat, so the wax would melt but the plaster would keep the shape of the wax.
The foundry then would be used to smelt the gold into the plaster. After it was cool, the plaster would be destroyed and the metal would be left in the shape of the wax.
It was a two day long process but a fun one. He had to do it twice to get it right.
The baubles were made the same way, but smaller. The problem with them is, each one should be made in a way that they would fit each other, like a puzzle. This way the final product wouldn’t be a bumpy mess.
Winnie and Mitras took a week to make the scepter and the staff and they loved the end product.
Blueprint acquired Angel on a Rock
Blueprint acquired Elemental Hug
----------------------------------------
Now he needed to make his own equipment.
He had a few threads made of the vines he had found and he loved working with it. So he decided to work with it again.
He did the same process as Tasha’s and Beary’s equipment to make more threads. During that he got the silver threads he had and made many small thin circlets with it. He is going to make a more armor like equipment.
Dyeing the threads light blue, he sewed his equipment then got the little circles and sewed them also to the uniform. It would catch light and shine, just like the uniforms in the championships he used to watch, and it would defend, almost like a chain mail.
Blueprint acquired Silvery Nymph
+2 to all skills for spells
----------------------------------------
For the next week he decided to take it slow. He would train his Mana Manipulation skill during the afternoon and stay with Bjarke at night. It was very fulfilling, even though Bjarke didn’t have another day off.
His gameplay was quite slow paced, almost slice of life, but he liked. He had many big missions and wanted some breath time.
This in fact was a great choice, because soon he will be involved in more time consuming quests.
----------------------------------------
-This Sunstar was the first to unlock a race for the game, does anyone know how? Who are they?
-We are still in the process to discover, but if we discover how we can finally get the elves. They are so stuck up, if we continue like that we’ll never unlock them.
-Muuhh and here I want those ears.
-Don’t worry my love, we’ll get them for you.
-I want them soon, send someone to this Guild, let’s find out everything about them.
-I found a video!
The meeting then went silent, with everyone watching in their browser.
-Some shenanigan is definitely happening, the boss HP get a big hit sometimes out of nowhere.
-Are they cheating? It is weird a small Guild get a race before a big one.
-We should make a ticket then, even if they are for real and it’s a skill, maybe we can make them suffer a bit.
-Wow you’re evil.
-Shut up, we can’t lose our standing as the big Guilds, and they are even from a small town, I mean what the hell is even Tairo?!
-It’s in Andras kingdom, it’s in you guys region right Pegasus.
-Yup, we have a bunch of small Guilds and starting players. We even had a boon in one of the towns in the beginning, what was its name?
-Does it matter?
-Ezca, Ezca is the name of the town. For us it’s great, it makes our kingdom more welcoming to new players.
-Maybe then this Sunstar Guild is not a bad thing for us?
-If they don’t want to take our place, no. if they want, well, good luck for them…
