The men all glared at each other for a second, then rushed toward Karl.
A rapid motion slap fight ensued, as they all fought to prevent anyone from putting a hand on the crafter. First come, first served was a cruel mistress, and they were not going to give up their chance at a spot without a fight.
A hand landed on Karl’s shoulder, and he looked up to see a smirking female mage.
"I will take one, please." She announced.
The warriors instantly began shouting at her.
"Evil woman, what tricks are you playing? You’ve never worn a suit a day in your life." One of the men insisted.
"Plus, it wouldn’t even look good on you. Just stick to the frilly dresses and leave our fashion for us." Another warrior agreed, while trying to pretend his effort was to push her away, not to claim the next spot in line.
"Oh no, you don’t. First, she needs to tell us what sort of stunt she’s pulling." One of the other warriors demanded, pulling him back from Karl’s seat.
With a flip of her auburn curls, the woman smirked at them all and held up her left hand to show off a diamond ring.
"Have you all forgotten? I am a married woman, and my husband is standing right over there at the back of the room." She declared.
"Jethro! You no good slimy dog. How could you do something so underhanded?" The man next to him, who had long since been pushed out of contention for the final two spots, demanded.
"All is fair in love and war. And today, my love went to war for me." He declared proudly.
The other men laughed at his proud assertion. He wasn’t wrong, though. There was no restriction that they couldn’t have someone order for them.
"Alright, you all sort out the order while I work." Karl insisted as he got started on the next suit.
While Karl and the Totems argued about casual wear, the Overlords were sitting on the ground in the dungeon, looking over the corpse of the final boss.
"You know, we may have miscalculated slightly on this run. Who would have guessed that if you didn’t take any damage on the first boss, the final boss would start out enraged?" Quinn laughed weakly.
Ophelia shook out her fur and transformed back to Werebear form. "But look at the loot. You guys told me that we shouldn’t expect much, but we’ve got nine epic grade pieces here from a single run. Plus, look how happy Ruth is."
Ruth was one of the group’s mages, and was currently engrossed in lovingly cradling an Overlord Ranked Epic Grade staff with maximum spell haste and reduced mana cost on it.
As far as Epic Grade weapons went, it was among the finest, and perfectly suited to most mages.
A true rarity with random stat generation.
Lotus frowned for a moment, then continued.
