Scene 11

Oh, that was fast! You must've been raring to go.

Just tell us what we need to do.

Very well—the dungeon I want you to raid is called Teardrop Cave.

Thing is, there's no intel on it— the location's a complete mystery.

So we have to find it first. Got it.

Oh, and... sadly I won't be joining you. I've got some other business to attend to.

What?! Didn't you say this task was harder than the last?

Hard enough to require a party of four, yeah—meaning you're two short.

You can't be serious! This is your task, you know!

Calm down. I've already put a notice out on the bulletin board.

Any takers?

Hehehe... no.

Tch, what a surprise.

Doubt anyone's interested in scrounging around some dungeon just as the beta's ending.

Now now, don't get all huffy. Somebody's bound to come along.

...I hope so. I am interested in this mystery dungeon.

...I don't think anyone's gonna show up.

Listen... I really do need to be going soon...

Then let's call it a day.

Fencer

Excuse me... I'm looking for Argo.

You've found her.

Fencer

Are you still looking for raid members?

Oho!

Oh!

Fencer

Haha, I'll take that as a yes.

You a solo player?

Fencer

I am—for now.

Hey, wait...

Baby face, solo player, purple gear, rapier...

You're...the famous Cal.

Fencer

"Famous" is pushing it, but yes, my name is Cal.

Wait, the guy that cleared the High Elven Ruins alone?!

That would be me, yes.

Whoa... No way...

Is it really that impressive?

Anyways, will we be leaving for the raid soon?

You'll need another player first—I've got other business to attend to.

Well, we have three so...

I think it's good enough. Time is tight, so let's just get going.

You miss the part about the difficulty?

I can cover for two people. Problem solved, right?

I mean... I guess so.

If the rumors about him are true, you shouldn't run into any trouble.

I know we just met... but trust me on this.

...Fine, if you're sure.

Great. Thank you.

It's decided, then.

I'll throw in extra since you're one short, and you can have all the drops. How's that sound?

Good enough. Thanks.

I'm confused...

Argo just wants the information we gather.

So the rewards are ours—alright, that works for me, too.

Then, it's settled! I've gotta run—good luck info hunting!

Well, what's the worst that could happen? Not like we'll be penalized in the beta, anyway.
