Back in town, the team finds their way back to their guild hall. Outside of the main doors, Farina stands with a welcoming grin. Before the team makes it up to her, she turns to the guild, opens the doors and walks inside leaving the door open for you to follow. You can all see her heading directly to the main hall where she now sits at the head of the table awaiting the groups. "Ohmygodohmygodohmygod~ you guys are back! Whatcha bring me," she gleams with an almost visible star sparkle in her eyes. "I hope you found lotsa resources... ohmygod I found a lot of quests for you guys! I finally found the rest of the manual by the way! Oh oh oh! I totally found some of the costs we'll need to pay to upgrade our guild. LOTSA FUN STUFF~ ... ... ... So how was your day?" Her energetic disposition throughout most of her greeting instantly changes into a calm and collected question at the end.

"Pssh, please," Helios makes a dismissive gesture, "A mission like that was nothing for someone of my talents. Nothing even threatened us, and we got a new pokemon to boot. I bet the other team didn't do half as good as we did."

"Wow, that's rude..." Falon not quite mutters (aka, says out loud for everyone to hear) before walking up to Sariah and emptying the timber from his bag. "We have three more bags filled with goods. And oh! Merit and I almost got blown up by this giant glowy laser guy! And we managed to divert a river. And we had to battle this huge murder of Murkrow. It was fun. Henry caught some of them. How 'bout you guys, what'd you find?" he cheerfully asks the second team. It's really hard to tell if he's being fully sincere or not, but anyone who's been around Falon for long enough (aka longer than 10 minutes) would figure he isn't really capable of manipulation of that kind.

Bee seems to have eventually returned Lance to his Pokéball - presumably she figured he didn't want to be hugged all the way back to the guildhall - so she waves to Farina when she sees her in the doorway.
She looks a bit jealous at the amount of resources the other team seems to have collected. "Wow, lucky. We only found some flowers - I think Nette's got them. We found two other points, but one of them somebody had gotten to already and the other was on the other side of... wait, did you say you diverted a river? Huh, maybe we'll be able to get to it next time."
She fiddles with her cap idly. "It was Phantump with us. A whole... thicket of them?" She pauses to consider her terminology. "Thicket sounds right. Basically swarmed all over Nette and me. But they didn't like ice, and Helios did this imitation-sunlight thing that they went nuts for. We got at least one of 'em."

"And then we caught a ground-squirrel!" Olivier added excitedly. "So I guess we caught two varieties of Pokémon! I do hope that kind of makes up for the lack of supplies. We just couldn't find a way to cross the river easily without getting all sucked up!"

Merit dumps the slate and granite slabs with the rest of the resources. "Falon didn't mention it, but we also found an Oran berry bush." He casually tosses an Oran berry into the air a few times before sliding it back into his sling bag. Glancing at Farina, he says, "Perhaps we can plant one or two Oran berries? It could be a good investment."

Nithia glares at Helios as he made his holier than thou comments. She didn't like him, what with his fancy clothes and fancy face and fancy language. A lot of proper, fancy, hoity-toity mages thought of curses and blessings as beggars magic, strange superstitions that weren't worthy of being called true mages. She bet he was no different. It made her blood boil just thinking about it. At least her group was showing him up so far. She quietly sets down the Mint Herb and the 3 Shea Fruits while giving Helios the evil eye. If she hypnotized him now, maybe no one would notice...

"But it was a very pretty flower!" Nette adds and carefully retrieves the plant from her bag and hands it to Sariah. Nette was a bit sad that Bee didn't seem to think the flower was enough, but in her mind it was much nicer then a pile of rocks! What would you use a pile of rocks for anyway? Hmm ... she thought to herself and contemplated if the full handbook maybe contained the answer to that one.
But that river thing was a good idea! Maybe tomorrow they could go back and harvest from all three points? There was just the thing! One of the points could have been alot better nicer ... "The second point we found was all covered in the most foul smell - it would be nice if we could bring some nice scented herbs or something to cover it up. And that might also be what agitated the Phantumps. Nette fills in.
"Do we have any nice soil for the berries? Otherwise I think that is among the first things we should look for!" Nette agrees with Merit while trying to not look too much at Nithia. That one seemed to be up to no good and it was probably the best course of action to stay out of the way! Or divert her? With a hopeful smile the tree looked down on their guildmaster and assistant. "You mentioned some Quests for us?"

Henry holds up two pokeballs, each holding a Murkow, and nods. "The birds were... rather fond of me. And my flesh. Let's put them to good use, shall we? In addition, I also have some berries, and I agree planting them would be most prudent. There's also this bag..." He produces a small bag of Heal Powder alongside the Oran berries, shrugging. "Maybe we'll just keep it at the guild, unless someone wants to take it with them?" He offers, then pulls out his map.
"I don't know what it was, but SOMETHING burned a new path into the forest. It was trying to shoot at a certain over-eager member, and I'm glad he's alright. I wish I could have had a look at whatever did it, at a safe distance, to try to identify it. There was also a bridge near the switch for the river, and I think that warrants further investigation. I'd like to take another look some time, on a day when I don't have to fight a Murder of Murkrows." He nods, pointing out the individual points on the map, and handing it to Farina. "I hope this will suffice for a first day's harvest?"

"Oh well it looks like a very good catch for your first time out at the novice dungeon. Not bad at all." "Oh yay stuff! You brought me stuff! I'll go inventory everything! Please go ahead and place anything you don't want to hold on to in the guild storage box right over there!" Sariah points out a few opened cardboard boxes with a piece of paper taped to the side labeled "temporary guild storage" followed by item types such as resources, potion and restorative and a few others. "I can go sell them asap and see how much we made today! There's a 'to sell' box somewhere there... don't get the things mixed up!" "She's as excited as ever. So I'll need to have a look at your maps to see how you all did. And uh... I'll want to hear a bit more details on that uh... 'glowly laser guy' a bit later on. But for now let's have your pokemon rest. They're probably going to be tired if you had them out most of the day and did a bit of battling." Farina motions to Sariah who bring a few trays on a cart much like you'd see at a pokemon center and goes around waiting for each guild member to recall their pokemon and place the balls in the tray. "We'll be able to assign you new pokemon tomorrow morning if you'd like but for now let's have a look at those results," she says with a gleam in her eyes.

Nette listened with half an ear to the explanation of item storage and the pokemon rest thing. She wasn't too sure she wanted to give away her adorable Mawile just yet though. Is it really tired? Maybe... Does it look tired? she thought and tried to determine the small pokemon's mood, with little success. And why do I feel like something is missing? Hmm. she frowned. But eventually she shrugged and gave her Mawile a last gentle squeeze and then returned her to her ball and placed it on the tray - that was when it hit her!
"Oh!" she exclaimed "We also saw a giant Sawbuck sleeping in a room!"

"Oh, yeah, him." Bee sets Lance's ball in the tray reluctantly. She guesses he does technically belong to the guild. "I'm guessing that's why it was so quiet around there, that can't be normal. Do you think it was causing the interference, too?"
She unrolls her map on the table for Farina's inspection. "We got all of this area, here. The only ways out we didn't go were across the river and past Horns there; everywhere south's a dead end." She taps the pen on the map by the river. "If you guys changed the course it might have affected our section, too. If that happened it'd open up that resource point as well as the corridor north. I don't know what to do about Horns short of something really dumb like somebody playing decoy, though."

Healing his Pokémon and letting it rest was a forgone conclusion for Olivier. He had often been told by his father that he wore them out quickly. The young half-elf then snapped his fingers and jumped excitedly!
"Ooh! Ms. Farina! Since... You know... Since I think we succeeded, will you get to name our Guild soon?"

Henry reluctantly returned Sir Glubbington to his ball and placed it on the tray, along with the two balls containing the Murkrows. They could be formidable allies... Or they could try to peck his eyes out again. If they did the latter, he'd strip their feathers for his arrows, simple as that. At Farina's words, he takes off his hat, removing the current map from inside and offering it to the guild leader. "Here you go. It was interesting keeping the map today, but I don't think it's quite for me. As for my items, I'll just put the things we found in storage, if that's alright. Ah, except for the berry." He put most of the items in the storage containers, but wasn't quite sure what to do with the berry...

Nithia crosses her arms and pouts even more at having to return Tiik. He probably wasn't even tired, he hadn't even gotten hit... However, she dutifully put his pokeball in the tray, waiting for this meeting to be over so she could curse someone.

"Oh yes, that is a good question. Well, let's see the maps first..." Farina appears pleased with the maps though tilts her head to the side slightly while look at team 1's map. "Looks like you guys had some fun down here-ish. Well, no worries. A bit of danger here and there is par for the course for adventurers. Anyways, I hereby proclaim your first mission a success! I'll work on filling out the appropriate forms but in the mean time let me update your adventurer rings!" With a snap of her fingers, the various rings in your fingers glow slightly, feeling mildly warm in the process. "OH OH! My turn! Sariah tutorial time! Ahem ahem~ As adventurers, your guild symbols, the rings in your case, not only act as a symbol of your guild status, but also literally have a record of all of your accomplishments! Now that you've successfully explored an area (and that Farina has approved), you will all have that achievement stored in your rings. It also stores other things like our guild level, our total number of unique pokemon (but not what kinds), and a few other things to show off!" Sariah appears to be beaming at this point in the explanation. "It's also how we gain access to better items and equipment and a whooooooole bunch of other goodies. After all, specialized equipment would best be placed in the hands of seasoned adventurers, rather than newbies who would probably lose them in dungeons... usually by death! (But you guys don't have to worry about that probably!)" "Okay now everyone, you have the rest of the night to yourselves! Feel free to explore this place, but it's mostly empty for now. We'll work on that soon though! And once again, congratulations on your first exploration. I'll let you know tomorrow what we can do next. Oh also, there's a reward coming in, Sariah will have it ready for you in a moment." With her parting words, Farina grabs the tray from Sariah and heads to her office, "I'll have them well rested and ready for tomorrow!" Meanwhile Sariah runs off back to the boxes she labeled for guild storage. "Come one come all, start making yer deposits and take a bag!" The power of your rings has granted you all 1 milestone award named:
Mapping of the first dungeon. The bag Sariah hands you contains 500 En, a shoes voucher (with a note that you'll be given instructions on this in the morning), and a 50% off of your first 20 token purchase at "The Red Rayquaza" (a local ... and legal... gambling/entertainment center).

"D-death? Wait, I thought you said-" Helios' complaints falter, as it seems Sariah has already bounced off to another topic like a hyperactive child.
Well, there was no point in having misgivings after having come this far. Besides, given how easy this first mission was, there was surely nothing to fear.
Helios decides to hold onto the Ariados Thread just in case, though...

As they finally wrap up, Nithia blinks slightly, beginning to zone out from how unbalanced she was feeling. This needed to be fixed, and now, but now finally she could hopefully get off a curse! Her target already being chosen from his poor attitude before, she walks up to Helios and blinks up at him with a small smile. "Excuse me, but I was wondering if I could possibly answer some questions about magic? I'm sure someone as smart as you could have a lot of new knowledge to teach me. Maybe we could find a less crowded room and sit and talk about it?" Assuming he takes the bait, she would quickly lead him off to a room that was a little bit out of the way. Ya know, for their talk. Yeah, that's it, a fine and respectable talk. If he refused, well... we'll get to that if he refuses, hmm?

Falon drops off Kaelan to be rested, and the timber to be sold, quickly snatching a bag before (you guessed it) running off to explore the building. As he is walking around the buidling, opening just about every door he comes, he ponders his choice to join an adventure guild. It had been brilliant! Even on just the first day he had fought a murder of 'krows, saw a giant glowy laser guys, was almost blown up by said giant glowy laser guy, and met a bunch of cool people! If all days were like this, this would be absolutely awesome!
Eventually (assuming he isn't interupted/breaks something) he returns to the main room, looking around to see who's still there.

Nette quickly follows Sariah, curious as to the contents of the bag. 'The Red Rayquaza'? That sounds fun! But maybe later. For now, she wanted to take a look at their house (but in a somewhat slower pace then Falon!). She spends most of the time walking around outside in the garden, enjoying the sunlight while it lasts, before returning inside.
