"Masaru." He stated before cupping his chin. "Well, we were invited to explore Ul'dah at our leisure so I don't see why we shouldn't take up such an offer since each nation is different it wouldn't hurt to expand our horizons." Masaru suggested, this would also help to get a feel for the place and a chance to attune to the big crystal here and well, attune to the others at a later date, after all, with the other two nations opened up, it'd open up more job opportunities which he knew he'd be taking advantage of, he did also want a change of pace from the sea salt air of Limsa Lominsa.

Yuri nodded, leading them to the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, she explained, "This is the Sapphire Avenue Exchange, the marketplace that contributed to making Ul'dah as the city of merchants. If you explore around a bit, you can also find the Weavers' Guild, Miners' Guild, the Goldsmiths' Guild, and the Gladiator's Guild." "Wow." Eli noted, her eyes almost sparking at the sight. "What else is here in Ul'dah?" Giving a small laugh, Yuri said, "Well, we just came from the Royal Promenade in the Hustings Strip where you can find the Alchemist' Guild. The avenue exchange here is part of the Step of Thal. But by heading to the Steps of Nald, you'll find the Adventurer's Guild in the Quicksand, the Platinum Mirage which houses the Pugilist's Guild and the Arrzaneth Ossuary, home to the Thaumaturges' Guild as well as the Aetheryte Plaze for Ul'dah."
"Sounds like a plan." Sy'pha said, thinking on the guilds in Ul'dah. Eli nodded, "I'm going to explore." "Okay and we can meet up at the Airship Landing when you've had your fill of the city." Yuri said, smiling. Eli ran in a direction and headed for the Weavers' Guild while Sy'pha explored the market, Yuri stretched.

Masaru looked thoughtful as the group had spilt up in different directions, he wanted to explore as well and thus did so, walking down the market street, it was certainly a hustle and bustle area with call outs on prices and such, the walls of this city did rise high as he looked from the ground, after all, from the skies, it was a different perspective, from what Yuri said, it was dived up by outside like the bazaar and the interior of the presumably the castle or such, he went to see what the Gladiator's guild was about, peering over the side and seeing a ring with men or women sparring with shield and swords.
"Hmm, if I were in this nation, I'd probably be like them... Well, we don't have time to see about signing up, maybe after all this envoy business, he'll seeing about splitting time between nations, plsu he was thinking more in a combat perspective, a sword and shield would be helpful as he checked out the Puglists being well fist fighters, he had to consider this one too in the event any weapons were broken and fists were his only weapon. "It'd be a safety back up option in any event." Masaru thought, he wasn't interested in Thaumaturgy.
Weaving, Mining and Goldsmithing did sound somewhat interesting but he didn't want to take on more than Jobs than he could handle, plus, materials cost money and while the questing did provide Gil, he didn't want to be overburdened, so he'll just stick to his blacksmith and armory for the sole purpose of maintaining gear, still, he made a mental note about these two jobs, he did want to be flexible in the event he joins a party on an expedition.

Though interested in joining the Miner's Guild, Sy'pha wasn't entirely sure. Thinking about her gear, she thought about possibly just sticking with what she had and paying for repairs when her equipment needed to be repaired. She walked around, looking what else the city in the desert had to offer. 'It certainly is different from the green leaves and lush forests of Gridania.' She went back to the market for anything interesting.
Yuri talked with the battlecraft supplier, looking at new armor to wear for when she would meet the other envoies. 'May see what the other nations have for guilds. Though I like my shield and sword, and I hope it will aid in protecting those three and that we can become close friends.'
Looking at the outfits made by the Weavers in their guild, Eli felt her ears droop and thought, 'Wow, these are amazing. I'm sure with the right material and a lot of practice, I could make something like this. But I'm not sure, would I have the skill to really make something like this....' She sighed and left the guild, heading for the airship landing and wondered what they should do next.

Masaru headed back to the Airship Landing to await the others, right now the next course of action as Limsa Lominsa's envoy was to inform the Admiral about the other Grand Compacy leaders willingness to participate in the memorial service, this would also give the other envoys a chance to see the place in question since well the Gridanian Envoys did get Ul'dah's approval too, so perhaps when all was said and done and the Gridanian Envoys return to report to the Elder Seedseer, he could look into move his lodgings to Gridania perhaps.

Eli waved as they approached and asked, "So what now?" "We can explore Limsa Lominsa." Sy'pha said. "Lady Kan-E didn't say we had to return immediately." "Sounds like a good plan." Yuri said. "The Flame General has given me the airship pass so I can come along. And he gave his response, so I'm good to go." "Alright." Eli said, smiling. "It's probably a good idea cause Ul'dah is beautiful, but the desert is a bit." "I understand." Yuri said, smiling. Sy'pha said, "Well, shall we then?"
"Yeah, we shouldn't keep the airship staff waiting." Yuri said. She walked to the airship with the group.

After returning to Limsa Lominsa to drop off the report to the Admiral and well, allow both Gridania and Ul'dah envoys to get the approval, Masaru waited outside, wondering whatever would be next on the docket called adventure, being thoughtful, he did have plan to perhaps move to Gridania as a somewhat more permanent base and he did have ideas what he'd like to do to expand his arsenal.
"Certainly a question to ponder on." Masaru thought to himself.

Talking with the Admiral, she allowed Eli and Sy'pha to use a linkperal to have them call Kan-E-Senna and let her know that it was a success. Yuri called the Flame General to tell him. With that done, the Admiral asked them to explore the docks of Limsa Lominsa and see what the marine city state had offer. The three nodded, bowing at the admiral and left her office. As they met up with Masaru, Yuri asked, "What should we do now since our duties as enovy are officially done?" "Before we explore Limsa Lominsa, lets stop by the Drowning Wench for a drink." Sy'pha suggested.
"Sounds like a plan, I'm thirsty." Eli said, her tail swaying. Yuri said, "How bout a meal and we can discuss our next plan." Sy'pha nodded, looking at them.

"if you want to then by all means." masaru said, guiding them to the Drowned Wrench and securing a table as orders were made as he sat in his seat. "Well, I imagine seeing other nations have opened more viable options as I know it certainly has for myself since seeing new lands certainly leaves an impression." Masaru said, sipping his drink. "I am planning on likely taking jobs in the other nations, while Limsa Lominsa ahs provided me with enough experience, I do want to branch out, especially since an adventurer doesn't usually stay in one place for too long." Masaru stated.
"I may also want to perhaps attempt being in a party since most of the work I done is solo." Masaru added, sure, while he did somewhat team up with Y'shtola, both times were abruptly, he did want to see how he fared in a team environment, plus there were some places were going solo wasn't a good idea... not unless you were a veteran.

"Why don't we try being a party together?" Sy'pha suggested, picking up a fork to eat her food. Eli and Yuri looked at her, curious, Eli asked, "Are you sure?" "I believe we fulfil the basic requirements." Sy'pha said. "I am a ranged fighter with my bow and arrows, Masaru fights in close range by using his daggers, Yuri can protect everyone with her shield, and Eli can heal everyone with her conjuring the elements and healing magic by using her staff." "You do have a point and I recall the Flame General saying that the Warriors of Light consisting of similar warriors." Yuri noted, sipping her drink.
"Well, I don't mind but are we really sure?" Eli asked. "Cause we're talking about being a team that constantly faces powerful monsters and goes on deadly missions." "We won't force you." Yuri asked, looking at her. "This is simply a discussion." "Yes, if you don't want to come along, that's fine." Sy'pha said, taking a bite. "We can handle things." "No, I want to go along." Eli said, looking ready. "To become a adventurer that everyone looks up to."

"Also, we don't have to necessarily fight powerful monsters each and every time.." Masaru said, crossing his arms and leaning forward on the table to rest them on it. "After all, there's no shortage of quests to gather materials or such and well, the ones I done, it gives you enough for food and lodging, after all.. I imagine there's a ranking system to prevent someone accidentally stumbling upon a powerful monster, of course... That might change if its something beyond our control." Masaru said, recalling the Gooblues.
"But as what was said, nobody's forcing anyone into going if they don't feel confident enough, but let us just view this a trial run, I imagine there's plenty of places that could serve a good first experience." Masaru stated and breathed.

"Yes." Sy'pha said. "It's not like we're trying to emulate the Warriors of Light. We want to be our own heroes." "Right." Eli said, finishing her food. Sy'pha sipped her drink and breathed, Yuri smiled and leaned back. The three talked with Masaru and relaxed til one of the waitresses came by to get their dishes. She suggested that if they were adventurers, they should talk with Baderon, the tavernkeep, as he may have need for a team of adventurers. Sy'pha thought about it and Yuri looked at everyone.
"Should we ask if we can help him?" She asked. Eli said, "Well, if everyone agrees."

-Limsa Lominsa-
Talking with Badren, he had heard about some suspicious beings around the Sastasha Seagrot and wanted a adventurer to north of Aleport to go and discover who they were and what they were doing. He mentioned that the tarven had been visited by pirates not long ago and people were feeling nervous. A member of the Yellowjackets came up and offered some help as it was his investigation they were helping with. He explored that recently a unfamiliar ship had been appearing by the Isles of Umbra.
This came after his own soldiers came back from a patrol which included the seagrot, while there was nothing of particular interest, he thought it best that search Satasha again. But his soldiers were stretched thin already and the Sahagin were constantly testing their defenses, so he asked them to search for him. He explained that Satasha was in Western La Nosca and suggest they speak with a person who worked on the lower decks.
So they walked to the person in question who ferried the four to Aleport, she suggested that they make a quick visit to the Hall of the Novice to learn about their new location. The person they spoke to warned that it was dangerous to go in alone, so they needed to work together and depend on each other while exploring the cave, offering lessons to refresh them on their skills if need be.
With that out of the way, the four approached the entrance to the cave. The Yellowjacket there was happy to know they were there to help and they were tasked with looking around the cave to know who they were facing, along with being weary if they have a blue face tattoo. Slowly entering the cave, Yuri said, "I'll take the lead." "And I'll cover the back." Sy'pha said, pulling out her bow. Eli gulped and stayed close to Masaru, her tail instinctivly wrapping around his hand. She blushed, "Sorry about that. My tail tends to grab things when I get scared."

After a certain number of undertaking quests, the group foudn themselves subdued by one of the Beast Clans, the Amalj'aa by tryingto runa sting operation in concert with the Immortal Flames but alas, there was a traitor in their midst, only find themselves being offered unto a most inhuman creature, the one who the Amal'jaa call ifrit, Lord of the Inferno, praised almost like he was a god, Ifrit spewed bleu fire upon them but Masaru found nothing changed and it seeme dhis companions were of the same, but the unfortnate Immortal Flame soldiers were almost as if... brainwshed or under some kidn fo spell as the leader foudn ti impossible so many had the will to resist his master.
The onyl explanation was one's soul belonged to another, Ifrit believing their soul belonged to another, but of perhaps a higher standing than his own and created a ring of fire to do battle with them as Masaru unsheathed his weapon, sure he wasn't expecting to face such a manner of creature but there wasn't any time to retreat or run, all one could do was survive and fight.

"Well, I say we keep doing what we've been doing." Yuri said, gripping her shield and sword. Sy'pha nodded, "Agreed." "Everyone, remember to stay on your toes." Eli told them, tightly holding her staff. Sy'pha looked at her and nodded, "Just focus on healing who needs the most." "I know, but I'm not sure how strong this monster is compared to the creatures we fought before." Eli said, shaking. Yuri said, "Just trust in yourself and your magic." Eli looked at the Au Ra, and nodded, getting ready and Sy'pha loaded her bow.
Aiming, she fired the dark monstrous creature and Yuri ran in, slashing at one of its legs. Eli breathed and dodged its swipes, casting Cure on either of her friends to heal their wounds while they focused on fighting.
