The First Legendary Beast Master

Chapter 1092: Dosage Issues Quinn and the other Overlord Ranked warriors conferred quietly for a moment, then made an offer to the ladies.

”We can make enough spots in a twenty-five-person run, if you’re confident that you can do the job. Then, once we have seen what you can do, we can work out how to arrange things for future runs.” He offered.

Tessa nodded. ”That works for us. We’re good as a five-person team, though we might be a bit short on damage compared to some teams. So, I think that you shouldn’t have any issues finding teams that we could fit with, even if it was just for the larger teams.”

Quinn nodded. ”If you won’t need a new team for the five-person dungeons, then we can just slot you into the larger teams for the time being. We need the healing, and there’s always room for more classes that aren’t warrior.”

The others nodded in agreement. Warrior skills didn’t leave a lot of versatility. They were all using the same set of basic skills, and very few of them had managed to find a way to gain an advanced class.

Out of those who did, they were mostly Paladins, which still made them main tanks, but with a bit of side healing.

That was useful, but not really a change from the basic warrior template.

”Alright, when does the next group go to the Dungeon?” Dana asked.

They were all advanced now, and eager to test out their skills as a group. Especially without Thor and Karl buffing them and the group to invincibility.

Not that they were unappreciative of the protection, but sometimes you needed to know just what you were capable of on your own. Tessa had already explained that to Thor, who was eager to come along with them.

Letting Tessa go to battle without him just didn’t feel right.

”The next run is tomorrow afternoon. It takes about two hours, and we prefer to go after lunch when the morning rush has died down. There is a toll on the way out, so we use the group loot function of the System Interface, and it drops all the loot at the end for the team to sort.” Quinn explained.

Tessa shrugged. ”That makes sense. It’s easier than having to go through everyone and risk someone starting trouble or pretending they got less than they did. The collectors surely know what their share of the run’s loot should be.”

”Wonderful. If you would like to join us, I will let the others know, and we can shuffle the team to give some of the members a day off. They’ve been working overtime to make up for the healer shortage.

Normally, everyone only goes twice a week, so they don’t burn out.

But some of the more highly demanded classes, like tanks, healers, and Golem Spec mages get much more frequent requests.

Especially healers.

We will apologize in advance for the fact that you’re likely going to get a message every day requesting one or more healers for Alliance runs.”

Lotus winked at him. ”If they’re desperate, they can come over to plead their case. We can have cake and coffee.”

Quinn laughed. ”I can see how this ends now. The Warriors come to plead for a healer, the Nature Priestess gets to meet new people and throw a tea party, and then someone goes off to do the run.”

Lotus nodded in satisfaction.

”If you show up at just the right time, you might even get to test new and experimental potions.”

Quinn frowned. ”Why does that sound more like a threat?”

Lotus shrugged. ”Remi is at zero deaths so far. Plus, she’s come up with some really cool things. Like the scent repellant soap, the anti-aging cream, and even a cure for baldness.”

One of the warriors cleared his throat, and Lotus giggled. ”There is stock in the Guild Store. You can buy a bottle if you need. It’s a cream, and it works really well, so don’t go overboard.”

A small container of cream appeared in the man’s hand a second later, and he took off his hat, revealing the fully bald top of his head, despite his apparent youth.

The man slathered the entire small tub of cream on his head, while Lotus laughed.

”I take it that is a prank product?” Quinn asked.

”It is when you use it like that. Just watch.”

Over the next ten seconds, thick black hair began to sprout from his head, while his body heat softened the cream, which began to drip down his forehead and cheeks.

But the man was so intently watching the sprouting hair that he didn’t bother to do anything about it.

His baldness was long gone, and the new hair growth was rapidly exceeding the length of Lotus’ own pixie cut. But the real changes were in his eyebrows and his scraggly, youthful beard.

As the formerly bald warrior began to focus on the fact that he had used too much cream, he decided to wipe it away. First on his face, not realizing that his beard growth was only moments behind the hair on his head, then he panicked and tried putting it back in the container.

However, the cream expanded as it warmed, and the little jar rapidly filled with creamy liquid.

While he tried to salvage the situation, his beard began to sprout. First a youthful goatee, then a bushy mountain man beard, and finally into full Dwarven Majesty.

”The magic of the cream is used up after you apply it, no need to try to salvage it.” Lotus informed the panicked warrior, who now sported more hair than most of the beastkin, despite being a half-blooded dragonkin.

”Bro... that beard is epic.” One of the other warriors informed him, trying and failing to take the situation seriously.

”How long does this effect last?” The now hairy warrior asked, not calming down at all.

”It’s just hair. If you don’t want so much, just trim it. But the hairline should last at least a few years. It just resets it back to your natural hairline, so you’ll lose it again naturally, but not right away.” Karl explained, as Lotus was laughing too hard at the man’s still growing hair.
