In every rpg your stats point mostly don't add up to 500 under level 50 . But here the stat points increases rapidly because of the path of pain . To balance the game a bit . The skill tree contains many vital skills . While path of gain provide with different buffs path of pain is necessary .
Path of pain contains weapon techniques, proficiency and new spells and body tempering. And considering the scale of things that happen here . It is essential . Thus it keeps the game balanced . Either you get skills or you keep stat points .
We were outside the duke's house . It was in the korra kingdom . The duke's mansion was huge . A vast property consisting of beautiful garden's a small farm , beautiful statues and a fountain in the middle .
Even the gate had gold paint on it . The guard outside first stopped us from coming here .
Guard : Why are your here ? State your reason .
Jay : We are from the guild for a commission .
we were told to meet the duke .
Guard : The duke isn't here so go away . Shoo
Evan a mere guard who could be finished off in mere seconds treats us this way . But it's okay we were used to it .
Jay : So where is he ?
Guard : The duke has gone for official business and won't return for 1 day .
Jay : Okay .
So we set up our camp right outside the house
Guard : Hey , hey what are you fools doing ! . (He shouted in a coarse voice ) .This is the duke's area you can't set up camp here .
Jay : We are currently outside the premises so it isn't thw duke's place anymore .
The guard was speeechless he just silently turned his back and moved foward .
As we were waiting the guard was silently watching us .
When we were eating he was silently watching us .
Jay : (Stuffed voice ) Want some food .
He was disgusted but we didn't care .
It was 8 pm the roads were lit with lights and there was the sound of carriage .The horse neighed .
We stepped out of our camp .
Duke : Why have you set up a camp here .
Guard : They have been like this since morning . I told them but they didn't listen .
Duke : Why have you set up camp here .
Jay : We are here from the guild because we accepted a commision from the guild and you were the client .
Duke : Guard why didn't you let them inn ? .
Guard : Sir these are the fake ones . Who are going around announcing themselves as the chosen ones . Even going so far to take that request. It is unacceptable even for me .
Duke :(turning toward me ) Are you the real one
Jay : Yes i am .
Duke : Okay open the gates .
The gates were opened and we were inside his mansion .
His mansion had a clear crystal like floor white ceiling stairways decorated with red carpets . and a statue of a lady in the middle .
The lady was so beautiful just one look would make you fall for her . She was striking a pose which was similar to a dance step the sculptor would have made her with such elegance .
Duke : It seems you are interested in the statue .
Jay : I think it is magnificent. The sculptor who made this must have been so skilled .
Duke : The statue is very poorly made . Your comment just shows how little you understand art .
Jay : I am currently inexperienced in the field of art . Sorry for my lack of knowledge.
The duke somewhat seemed cautious about Mc .
He took us to the living room . where we sat on the couch .
Duke : Let me introduce myself . I am Lance Thesaurus. You can call me lance .
Jay : I am Jay and he is McElroy we are pleased to meet you .
Jay : We were here about the request you posted at the guild .
Duke : Yes before we talk about that how about we have some dinner .
The duke seemed somewhat uncomfortable there was something in his mind.
A luxurious dinner was served .It was the first time i experienced such flavors since coming here .
Lance : Does the food taste good .
Jay : It tastes wonderful .
Lance : Jay can i have some of time later .
Jay : Yes you may .
After the dinner the commission was discussed .
Lance : There is a blizzard in the nothern part of the region there is always snowfall. But when someone approaches it . It turns into a deadly blizzard .
The people that were sent from guild were either died from hypothermia or they simply back out .
Your objective is to rescue my daughter from the blizzard .
Jay : Understood.
I want you to follow me and your friend in the meantime can sleep here .
He took me to the balcony . He was uneasy for some reason .Maybe it was something related the quest .
Lance : For how much time have you known your patner .
Jay : For a few months . Why are you asking ?
Lance : I ask you to stay away from him in the future.
