Master Of None

"Walker? I thought you would still be at the cathedral?"

"And I thought you headed to the Genesis building after you came here"?"

Walker and Su were both surprised that they were running in to each other at the entrance of the adventurer's guild.

"Well regardless. I came down to meet you. We are heading to the alchemy guild. I need to organize a few things with them.' The two were again a little thrown off since Clara had a stack of papers in her arms and was already on the move past them.

"Before you both start in, I know what is going on. Scylla is dealing with the past issue when it comes to monster research. It was a stain on some of the research done during crop failures. The giant earth ants will be annoying but the dwarves have dealt with them before. They have very clear methods that can teach a lot of adventurers. I will be sending many party leaders to watch. Especially veteran leaders since they will learn the most and be able to apply the knowledge. But the problem I have right now are the herbalists and alchemists that went with young partys. They are teaching them a lot which has completely opened a new subclass for adventurer groups that might want to specialize in herb and gathering quests. They will be working very closely with the alchemy guild so we need to work out rules."

"You seem to be on a roll with the current happenings. It's very impressive." The compliment seemed to go over well. Su was very impressed and couldn't avoid speaking her mind.

"So many people have come to tell me what is going on. You both missed Gil since he came here. I saw Midnight, and even Remey apparently stopped by but I was already in a meeting with Leon about the invasive species of water herbs that the water elves want to prevent getting in to the lakes."

"That's a pretty long list. Sorry we were late. I know we gave a few places to stop. But that's good. We don't have much else to tell you…" To be honest, Walker felt a little useless but was very happy that Genesis was functioning properly.

"There is more. But that is all on another subject for another time. I assume you will be leaving to help with the giant earth ants? If so then I want you to leave Remey behind. She will have a lot of work. The first groups are starting to come back with herbs and she will be very busy." Walker could understand this. He also thought that Remey would make this decision.

"I think she will agree with that. Not to change the topic so much, but how is Barry doing? I know you sent him to help with the rogue dragons. I thought it would be a bigger deal." The dragonkin and other dragons had not come to Genesis while Walker and the rest of the group were gone which was very good since it had been one less thing for them to worry about.

"The last report I received said that they were tracking one down. Apparently, he is a member of a fifty warrior team. There are ten other teams of similar size all dealing with different territories in the mountains. That's also a good estimate of hope many are needed to deal with the number of rogue dragons around. It should make crossing the mountains safer in the long run. They also said that the materials will be kept and used for training their blacksmiths. It's not encouraging to hear that they have done this to their own species but it will be something they fix themselves mostly which is good."

"Agreed. Umm…how are we getting in the guild." The three were stopped by the large group outside the alchemy guild. The people going to deal with the ants, those with some fear that they may need healing potions, and those preparing to go out in to the wilds for herbs were causing the alchemy guild to be burdened with many orders.

"Register for a meeting time and pick up time here! Put in an application for an order and pick up at a later date!' The few young alchemists taking these orders outside were cutting down the line tremendously. It was a very wise choice since so many people were opting for this than waiting in the line for hours to potentially be told that what they wanted to buy would be out of stock.

"Can you let us in the back door? We have business with Remey." Walker went right up to one of them who was unoccupied and caused them to freeze in place.

"Well sir, that's not real- Yes I can. Right this way!" The young alchemist realized who the three were and started to guide them to the employee entrance immediately. They were suddenly inside a crazy stairwell full of running and chaos. The young alchemists had started to pull their weight and learn on the job. The guild wouldn't just need people to make potions. They needed members that could do much more than that throughout the entire guild. Having a member that made amazing potions was great. But having one that could fill multiple roles was even better.

"Hey! Out of the way!"

"Get moving! We need those water lilies now!"

"Seriously! More reports to write!?"

The chaos rang in their ears as they slowly reached the higher floors and burst in to Remey's room.

"I swear if you can't bottle tho- oh. What's going on?" Remey realized who it was halfway through her attempt to yell at someone again.

"We have a little business about your herbs and the adventurers that will be accompanying the alchemy guild long term. These two also have to let you know of the plans for the next journey they are taking." Clara started it off and didn't even let them get off topic for a second.
