Zen Vulgarity has joined up.
There's still several spaces available, partially due to the long-pending removal of inactives, so interested persons are welcome to PM me, or just post here.
(I have not removed any player whose Guild has been active over the past few days; only those who requested it, or those whom I haven't received any actions from since the beginning.)
For clarification, a withdrawn player's character is not accessible to their Guild.
The player must still be involved in the game for their character to participate.
I will be keeping all statistics handy in case any withdrawn players decide to rejoin.
Think of their characters as being on vacation.

"Ah, you've returned."
"It is with some regret that not all has been well during your leave of absence, adventurers.
As you may know, the Third Stratum is largely uncharted territory. Few have ventured so deep into Yggdrasil, and even fewer have returned to speak of the Rainforest's contents.
However, a new development has transpired which is... disturbing, to say the least.
A wounded soldier returned not long ago, speaking of mysterious humanoid figures lurking in the shadows of the new Stratum's oceanic depths.
While we do not know their identities or their motives, we do know this:
They pose a grave threat to our way of life.
The person I speak of was the lone survivor of his unit.
Still, the Radha has elected to handle this development diplomatically, for now.
In this endeavor, we again request your assistance, wanderers.
Uncover the identities of these foreign creatures, and investigate their motives.
We realize this request is vague at best, but we can not say for certain how to proceed until we know more.
While how to handle the task is left to your judgment, I suggest that you do so in the most peaceful means possible.
There is the chance, however slight, that this has all been a grave misunderstanding. The Radha hopes to resolve this situation peacefully, and to the utmost benefit of Etria, as well as Yggdrasil's denizens.
However you proceed, tread with caution, adventurers."
Any Guilds with members that have yet to make purchases still have time to finalize their plans, unless their Guild leader wishes to proceed with their first actions regardless.
Stomping some ants. I found a new whip. We actually took damage once.

Though it's probably obvious by now, B5 has taken a while to play out.
It is nearing its conclusion. The second (and final) third stratum map won't be nearly as complex.

With the swarm pacified, and their Monarch slain, the way to the next level of the Rainforest has become available.
However, it is not an unobstructed path.
"You stand on the verge of defying our pact."
"You approach sacred ground, explorers. Do you not know of the agreement between our kind and your own?
If that is the case, your ignorance will be your undoing. Go no further, or we will be forced to destroy you.
This is a courtesy we will not extend for long. Turn back, or your remains will join those of the others who have defiled the arrangement."
With the cold words spoken, the female steps back, and vanishes into the plantlife behind her.
For those who proceed, regardless of warning to the contrary, another foreign sight awaits.
B6F - Flood of Gods' Tears
The expanse of the sixth level has no obstruction.
Where there was once plantlife and natural barriers of every sort preventing passage, there is only ocean stretched out into the distance.
You find yourself on an island in the center of the oceanic body, with three enlarged flowers waiting across from your current location.
They appear sturdy enough to support the weight of travellers, though to where they lead, you can not be sure.
To those who wish to continue onward, B6F is now accessible. While this map will not be as complex as the one prior, be advised that many of the routes taken here will be one-way only; it will only be possible to pursue another path if a way back to the start is discovered.
One of the three quests you get from the Town. We signed up for that one, and we can share that reward once we get back to town.
The notion I was originally responding from was one where your 'proof of existence' asked for in the quest would be the drop of the ant we had destroyed. In that case, I assumed your 'working out' of somethings would be negotiating our trade of that item for a share in the reward.
If that is not the case, which it apparently isn't, then you are either offering to split the reward with us out of the kindness of your own heart, or are proposing what I thought to be outside the boundaries of the questing guidelines. If the former, then there's not much to negotiate, and we'll (I'll, if that's what you mean by arrangments) just take whatever you find fit to offer. If the latter, I'm not really sure what's going on.

I checked with CJ about questing guidelines, and yes, we can arrange a shared reward since you have the proof and we have the quest. That's what I meant to offer.
Because it would be hard to top three months of avatar/signature servitude.
(Three months is a bit much, but, really, it's been far too long since last I've bartered with pride. Ideally, at least my share of the reward would be based around such a deal.)

Can I bring back my 3rd lvl Ronin and play with any one because my guild bailed on me?
It's entirely possible, if you want to get with the members of the LCF.
I have most of the Guilds' records intact; just that only the ones who've sent in actions have kept on(which admittedly was not very many).
I will give my sword to whom ever wants it.
But I need my last update PM, cj if you can please. I 'm not done and still want to play.

The guardian of the seas has perished. With its death, the way to the next Stratum has been unveiled.
Though the call to pursue the further mysteries of Yggdrasil is a strong one,
you decide it best to return to Etria, and update the Radha on your progress.
Upon your eventual return, you find that the Hall is unusually active for the late hour,
with the coming and going of numerous faces, both familiar and not, many of whom seem equipped for war.
"Regrettably, I must acknowledge your return with unpleasant tidings."
"Tales of your encounter in the depths of the Third Stratum have reached our ears, and their words carry no small weight.
As you have likely gathered by now, this is not our first encounter with the residents of Yggdrasil; those we call the Forest Folk.
In the past, we have maintained a pact with these natives. We utilize the Labyrinth to the betterment of Yggdrasil, and we do not violate the territory they regard as sacred; the depths that you are on the verge of unveiling.
This has not been a problem in the past, as, simply enough, none have survived to explore as much of Yggdrasil as you have.
With the promise of the Fourth Stratum on the horizon, we have come to an impasse. We fear that Etria can not long endure on the lure of previously explored territory.
Our town thrives on the draw of the Labyrinth, and those who come to unveil its mysteries.
If there are none left to uncover, then it may well mean the end of this town's culture.
It is with a heavy burden that I impart to you the Chieftain's decree.
Those of the forest have made it abundantly clear that we are not to pass, for penalty of certain death.
If it's going to be us or them, then it will be us.
Head to the Fourth Stratum, and destroy the Forest Folk.
We realize this is not a task given lightly. Do not undertake this request without bracing yourself for the worst.
We are not aware of what lies beyond. Tread carefully, explorers, and prepare as best as you can before proceeding.
In thanks for your efforts, the Radha bestow a gift of 3,000 en to the Argh Protector Clan.
Use it to your liking, whether it be towards further preparation, or a well earned respite.
Until next we meet, farewell.
___________________________________
Town updates will follow shortly, after which appropriate update PMs will follow.
The beginning of the next Stratum will follow once all Guilds have finalized their preparations.
(Should any Guilds wish to continue their exploration of B6F, they may.)
Mark my words, before this game ends, I will turn this image into the most awesome guild banner of the week.

For those who've accepted the latest quest of the Radha, unhindered by the promise of approaching sacred ground, the environment of the next level is anything but hospitable.
There is no sign of any color from the forests above, or any trace of the aquatic ocean.
With the sight of the lifeless grounds before you, it's a wonder that anything but death could possibly be found above your current location.
Fourth Stratum Sandy Barrens
B7F - The Pathless Drifting Sands
You've yet to encounter any trace of the locals that you were forewarned about, or of any life whatsoever;
only the presence of four immense doors stand out in the barren landscape.
There is still one last town update to be posted, but beyond that, Guilds may begin exploring the fourth stratum at their convenience.

"Lifeless, isn't it? You'd think no one had ever been there before.
Maybe no one ever has. There's been some locals who've already taken a gander at the new stratum.
Scary place, kids. Only a handful even returned to talk about the sights they've encountered there.
Be careful before considering some of these requests. It's dangerous ground you're treading on.
Don't wind up like those who've never returned. I look forward to more of your stories."
Golden Deer Requests
"Curing The Sickness" The Sandy Barrens are plagued by a rare breed of tree that attacks explorers that mistake it for one of the many plants. They say its branches can be used as an ingredient for specialized medicine.
[strike]"The Mysterious Girl"[/strike] The pioneers of the Fourth Stratum claim to have heard the distant voice of a person, a young girl according to early reports. It's unknown whether or not the voice belongs to a lost child, but it would do their consciences well if someone could find out what the source of the voice is.
"Prayer To The Stars" Believing in their power to draw her desired lover's eye, a girl will pay handsomely for five star-shaped seeds.
[strike]"The Wyvern's Egg"[/strike] They say a monstrous creature has made its nest in the Second Stratum, and guards its kin fiercely.
One of its eggs will fetch an extremely high price on the market, if one can be gotten.
[strike]"The Monarch"[/strike] - solved
[strike]Early reports of the Rainforest suggest that a hive of ants have taken residence there.
This means there must be a Queen. A retired adventurer wants proof of her existence.[/strike]
"The 100-Shell" A traveller from afar wishes to obtain this sought-after relic, which reportedly can only be found in the Third Stratum.
"Feat Of Strength I" A quest given directly from the Adventurers' Guild. Those of you who consider yourselves worthy, venture into the Third Stratum alone, and survive three battles.
[strike]"The Necklace"[/strike] - solved
[strike]One of Etria's wealthiest debutantes wants a necklace crafted from Insect Eyes,
which can only be found in the Emerald Grove.[/strike]
"A Souvenir" An explorer's best friend was slain by a Ragelope in the forest.
He has yet to encounter one, so he wants someone to bring him a piece of its remains.
[strike]"The Shield"[/strike] - solved
[strike]A group of adventurers journeyed to the third floor of Yggdrasil, only to flee from the terrors they encountered.
Their Protector supposedly lost her shield, a family heirloom, and she requests that someone find it for her.[/strike]
Resolutions of solved quests will be PMed to the Guilds responsible.
If a quest was solved by a Guild that did not claim it, then they should try to come to an agreement with the Guild that did, and PM me regarding their arrangement.
