Moreover the team we have made only has NPCs. I've formed a raid party before, and joining a party doesn't mean I'll die.
"Divine being!"
While I was pondering the friend issue, Liora called out. She was pointing to an old cabin.
I check the map.
It seems this is indeed our destination. The elf princess, Remeria, also has a proud expression.
It's apparently the home of an elven blacksmith.
An elf with an apprentice of the dwarf race, known for their blacksmithing. No wonder she's proud.
Liora follows the princess toward the cabin. The princess calls out to it.
"Brother! It's me, Remeria."
"Brother?"
"Yes, my third brother."
"You have many siblings."
"Yes, many."
Then, from the cabin, a frail elf with a beard covering his face, much like a dwarf, emerges.
"…Has the time freeze been lifted? Come in."
"Brother, is that all you have to say for our emotional reunion?"
