Lunch is a short affair, everyone eating up while Misha heads over to the nearby Inn to book a party, while Char heads to the baker for cakes. After all, while she’s hitting 70, Kone will hit both 40 and 50, and Dimnys will also reach 50 and probably 60. She can’t be leaving anyone out.

The baker is more than happy to make cakes, asking a few details about each person they’re being made for, so he can personalize them. He assures Char that the eight hours before the party begins is more than enough time for three cakes and the Shaman hurries back to where the group has ordered lunch from a local diner. Both her and Misha arrive just in time for the food to be served.

“Now, you need to understand, when we throw a party, we go all out. We’ve bought out the bar starting at sunset tonight, and we’ll drink until sun up or until they run out. There will be cake, and food, and likely a hundred more adventurers.” Cain explains as they head for the Naga Raid’s entrance.

Since Dimnys can offer real assistance now they have gained an extra warrior in the group, even Kone is able to make an effort, now that the notifications aren’t as severe. She is only throwing out sporadic heals in between waves of notifications, but all heals are good heals.

Char reaches level 70 just after the second boss, gaining an ability called [Chain Heal]. It is much like her chain lightning, only it arcs a healing lightning between up to 10 injured party members, possibly returning to a target if it didn’t fully heal them.

It’s the final drop that stuns everyone though. They all get an announcement, covering up the notifications on their screen.

[Cain Has Received Class Exclusive Ancient Drop]

[Book of Might Of Many] Has dropped.

[Might of Many] Puppet Master exclusive. Passive. Attacks deal 20 percent of the combined damage done by users constructs in the last 30 seconds as additional physical damage.

“That’s just sick and wrong.” Misha gasps.

“Who even created a skill like that? That should not be allowed. And it’s a passive.” Mythryll complains.

“If it was for any other class, I wouldn’t mind, but seriously? If it was for Mythryll it wouldn’t be so bad.” Elmira agrees.

“You need better archery skills now.” Char laughs, the only one to see the humor in the situation. Indeed he does, with that big of a Modifier, he is in desperate need of multi target or area damage attack skills. Multi shot is one thing, but a bigger Exploding shot or a rain of Arrows would be incredible. In the Naga dungeon the enemies are so big that he rarely gets to hit more than two or three with an Exploding Shot.

“Oh, under that huge, obnoxious notification, I got something too.” Misha cheers.

[Blessed Life] Rank S. Usable by Cleric. Increases healing by 50 percent.

“Okay, I feel bad for overshadowing that. 50 percent more healing? You might just be the best Healer in the city right now, regardless of Level.” Cain says.

“I was told as a kid that the Iron Man title made Legendary Heroes out of regular Guilds. Now I think I know what they meant.” Dimnys nods sagely.

“We got, what 4 different skills in a day? 2 of them S Ranked?” Kone says, trying to recall everything that happened while she was semi conscious trying to overcome the incoming barrage of notifications during the first dungeon.

“6 skills I think. I got Crushing Blow and Stone Form. You got Rend and Thorns Healy thing. Then Misha and Cain both got those S Ranked skills.” Dimnys says.

“You held out on a book drop? You’re supposed to say something so we can all cheer.” Elmira pouts.

“Sorry, it was in the first dungeon sometime, I didn’t notice until I checked my inventory just now.” Dimnys apologies, offering the pixie caramel as a consolation. At first it didn’t look like she was going to be forgiven so easily, but it’s a really good caramel candy, and Elmira is easily bribed.

“We need more members if we’re going to keep going like this. We’ll flood the market with gear drops trying to sell it all.” Misha frowns, not wanting to take a hit on the price.

“And that’s if they’ll even buy so much, they looked pretty overwhelmed the last time we were in trading gear.” Dimnys shrugs

“Once you’ve tried to rework the ones with strange stats, I can take them to Karmazin City and sell a bunch more there. Spreading the wealth between cities should reduce suspicion and problems for us. We can also melt down some of the metal equipment into high quality ingots.” Cain agrees

“Hate to break up the planning, but I need advice type help.” Kone says.

“I’ve got two paths here. One leads to clones like Mythryll has that can use my abilities, with deduced damage, but the other leads to a super durable bear spec tank form. What do I do?”

“Whatever you like, really. We’ve got a varied enough group so far that we can let everyone pick their preferred route. So if you want to be a Healer in the back, you can have clones to help or become the bear for you. If you want to be extra tanky you can do that instead. No pressure, we’ve got more healers and more tanks.” Cain explains.

“Then I want clones. You get all the cool summons, and Mythryll gets those two copies of herself plus the trees. I want to be like that. Using my skills to keep myself safe.” Kone says firmly, he eyes glazed over as she selects her desired skill tree.

Seconds later two full grown Grizzly bears join the group and Kone giggles. “Look, I’m both the tank and the Healer!”

“You guys are the weirdest Guild members ever, you know that?” Dimnys laughs.

“We do know, but it’s great fun isn’t it?” Char laughs.

“Now, let’s go home and prepare for our party. We’ve got three members level birthdays to celebrate tonight.” Cain suggests, ushering everyone out of the dungeon.

“Does that mean I finally get an excuse to try on the very best of those outfits you all made me wear?” Kone laughs.

“Not just can you, you’re expected to. Can’t look ragged for what is basically your own birthday party..” Misha teases her as they head to the house.
