Karl smiled at the message, and the group breathed a collective sigh of relief.
"Good work everyone. One near miss, but that’s unavoidable, we got sloppy toward the end, like we forgot that the boss can change targets." Steve declared.
The Jackalope Group members were in high spirits now that they had finished the dungeon without any issues. Until the Nara Group had agreed to help them out, they had thought that they wouldn’t be able to go in for the next two weeks.
"Mister Karl, will you available for the upcoming trips through the Dungeon?" Steve asked hopefully.
{I’m not sure yet. I was a last-minute replacement, as the other Tank had a bit too much fun last night, and he wasn’t in any shape to work today. I’m actually head of a crafting Guild, so I’m normally at work at this hour.} Karl explained, still in Avatar form.
The Warrior looked around at Karl’s bonded beasts, then back at the massive dragon.
The math wasn’t mathing.
"You’re a crafting guild leader? As in, you yourself have a trade skill?" One of the other warriors asked.
Karl nodded. "If you look carefully at the equipment my lovely companions are wearing, you will see that all four of them are wearing robes made by myself and the Lady Rae."
Cindy and Marcus gestured to the spider symbol on their robes, and the two clerics turned up their sleeves to show the matching maker’s mark.
"Life really isn’t fair, is it? I bet you’ve even got a pretty girlfriend and everything." The warrior grumbled.
The four from Karl’s group began to chuckle, while Cara held her belly and rolled with laughter.
{His wife is a Divine Fox beastkin.} Remi explained, as nobody else was in any shape to speak.
"You know what? I won’t even be mad if we have to deal with a lesser Tank next time. This guy is just too enviable." The jealous warrior complained.
Cindy nodded in agreement. "It only gets worse from there. She’s an Overlord Ranked Battle Mage of some sort, and her Golems have Auto Parry. Her Guild Alliance group managed to do the Elemental Dungeon with zero damage taken on the first boss.
They even got a System Achievement for it."
"Isn’t that loot ready yet? They’re trying to make me cry now." The Warrior jokingly pouted.
There was nothing for a few seconds, then the system sent them a message.
{Rewards distributed.}
Everyone sorted through their loot, looking for something worth celebrating.
"Oh, here’s a Rare drop, and a couple of good tradable items. Not a bad day." Steve noted.
