Grand Summons [Elpharae/Tesh/Janerio]

[Janeiro]

Janeiro gave slight nods to the others talking showing her agreement, having her arms still crossed. They were all sensible people. Hearing how the others had already begun recruiting Janeiro felt that it was her duty to start doing the same, although she would wait until the whole guild had become more organized and stable, making sure she could present a guild Janeiro was proud to be in and with its own merits. Rue's praise for Tesh made Janeiro press her lips together.
Rue asked the right questions, and Elph gave very good input. Janeiro herself noticed that when it came to practical thinking and organizing she probably was not the smartest person in the room as she found herself a little impressed by the quick proposals. A sharp person like Elpharae could be a very good leader.
"I like those ideas. I have been thinking about opening a shop anyway since I already have the Mercantile talent, so sooner or later it will happen. I'd be happy to transfer a big chunk of its profits to the guild. I don't care that much about money as long as I have enough." Janeiro did like to be able to spend money without too much thinking, but there were more important matters than her personal luxury. "By forming the hunting parties we can discover who works well with which members quickly and plan out strategies in advance, allowing a safer and more efficient style of battle. Player deaths should absolutely be avoided, not just from a humane point of view but for PR reasons as well. Nobody wants to join the guild known for its suicidal behavior - I guess that goes without saying. I can craft armor and some weapon parts, as far as I know we don't have people for the other crafting talents yet, right?"

The question about their focus was the trickiest. Janeiro would absolutely try to be part of the front line fighters whether the guild followed or not. "Maybe what you say is true Elpharae. It kind of fits the name of the guild, too. I will still fight at the front line and know that Rue burns for that too, but we don't need everyone to follow, especially if they are still considerably less experienced in battle. Once again, that could mean deaths. Having people do recognizable work will help our reputation. I, um... get recognized sometimes already." She blushed slightly as she really did not want to brag. Having somewhat famous players would help any guild. Quickly she put some pie on her little plate and stuffed her mouth with it so she could not say more. Wait, did Tesh just say 'he' when referring to Elpharae? Must have made a mistake. How awkward.

Rue looked at Elpharae with a look of displeasure at the small crossdresser. What did he mean not sending our player out to the frontlines. Did he want to train and send others to fight on the frontlines in his stead. " Why would we not be on the frontlines ourselves? We are the strongest players around currently. It would make more sense to use our best, and spend the lower level members out to gather col and items while they increase their levels as well". Looking at Elpharae with a intense stare at his idea of throwing others at the bosses and dungeons while they sat back and watched Looking less annoyed at his cowardice. Athena would never send others into dangers. She would be one of the first ones charging head first into danger. Setting back and finishing her tea, " I don't see why i could not train the new members, if they require it. I have trained Techs and others so i already have experience and the know how to complete the task". Elpharae would talk about giving col and materials away to help less fortunate players. Placing her tea back down and looking at the small boy with confusion. On one hand he wants to be charitable, and on the other hand he wants to sell items and wears. " I think we should, give are unneeded col and items to the crafters of the guild. We could sell equipment and items we need to other players at a lower price than what the npcs shops are selling them at. Since col is needed to improve the guild and amount of members we could have. It is paramount that we grow the guild as fast as possible, as we would have more members and that would allow for more materials and influence over the floors. More members means that we could have a defensive and offensive group in the guild. With that we could protect and defend the players like Athena wanted. With charity it could be exploited by players, and it would only slow our progress as a guild if we gave away resources that we needed". As Rue talked to her guild members, but she mostly seemed focused on Elpharae since, she did not agree with his ideas. Tesh interjected as they had taken a break in between their disagreeance on how the guild should be run. Rue and Janerio wanted it to be more offence focused and defence would be secondary. While Elpharae wanted it to be more defensive, by helping players and having them fight in there place. Rue looked at Tesh with a cold stare as she was harshly against the idea of letting others fight for them. He would comment about Elpharae being the best option and that he would hold onto talent tomes he would come accross to use as a point for the leadership talent. " That's a good thing to note, if we can amass three tome we could have a talent point without the levels. Right now i do not want to agree on Elpharae being the head. However Janerio's point on her being our only crafter is an issue. We need at least a blacksmith and a channeler as well. Right now we could not use our materials to their full potential. I would have no issues with giving col to the guild and materials to the guilds crafters . However both Janerio and myself do not agree to sit on the sidelines and let others fight for us. That is not why we are the strongest players, we want to end this as fast as possible and have the least amount of deaths. If we sit around and train others to fight on the frontlines we would be wasting time and more deaths would occur as time passes". Rue had finished talking about what the guild should focus on. She would not stay with a guild that watched from the sidelines, if that was the case she would no longer stay with the guild. Cutting a small piece of cake Rue would take a break from the discussion as she was getting increasingly annoyed by the direction that Elpharae wanted to take.
