Riona nodded as she went ahead, Gloria of course also went with Riona.
With that done, he'd head back over to the place where he left the training equipment. "I'm back to pick up my item." He called out towards the store owner.
Askira hands him 16 copper for the fruits.
"Tell me farmer, do you by any chance know if any of the beings known as mamono live nearby? I am doing a project involving them and the more quickly I can locate some the better." Says Dralas.
Anastasia would go along with Riona, having no interest in or reason to go along with Markus.
The man came to the front. "Here you go." He spoke handing him the training dummy. Custom made.
"Mamano!?...O-Oh you meant if there are some nearby...There are some around yeah...Although yesterday we were raided by some Orcs...They came for some of teh food and some of the men...Our guards managed to scare them away at least...But any longer and there would have been no men in this village anymore..." The farmer sighed.
"So Anastasia? Ready to hit the club tonight?" Riona asked.
"I sure am! I can't wait till we go tonight! I even have someone I plan to meet tonight."
"Yeah sure, take a look at that shelf over there." The man nodded as he pointed to the shelf with wooden weapons.
Riona put her arm around Anastasia's neck as she heartily laughed. "Oh, got yourself a date for this? Nice on you, and try not to raise your too high during some happy hour alright." She joked a bit.
"Ah so they're considered a menace around here, alright, noted." He says. "Thank you for the information. Azar, Askira, let's go, we have work to do."
After they leave the farmer Dralas moves to a more private location and discusses with his companions. "Alright, now that we know that at least these particular mamomo arent valued members of any community we can run the full gamut of testing on them without any reservations. Our need for diplomacy in this situation is gone so our goal now is to find at least two or three of these orc mamono, knock them over the head, and bring them back for more in depth experimentation."
"Oh right, have a good day." The farmer waved.
