Dragon whale!

Do avoid having to go back to the guild city and tell it's head that is close friend is dead and it's kinda our fault, I decided to sail around a bit and expand the map more once the boat was fixed. Eventually though I ran out of open ocean and had to bite the bullet. Turns out that the reason Karol's old hunting guild was there was because the grandson of the head of the guild city got the false information that a giant monster was attacking the head of the arena guild. So not knowing that the head of the arena guild WAS a huge monster, he brought a band of monster hating psychos to her doorstep, resulting in the injuries that lead to her death (by way of our party).

The people of the arena city did not take the death of their leader well and tried to start an all out war with the guild city. So the head of the guild city took responsibility of his grandson's actions, since he was the leader, and committed sepiku (literally) to prevent the war with Yuri giving the final blow. So Yuri is now responsible for the death of the leaders of 4 places, the port town, the desert village, the arena city, and the guild city, and he's the hero of the game!

Now the remaining bit of unpleasantness is tracking down Judith and have her explain why she keeps blowing up orbs and broke the guild's laws. The group find her in the remains of a huge war that happened 10 years ago between the empire and the giant talking monsters. Judith explains that the people (elf-like being like her) in that place had made artificial magic orbs that were so powerful that they drained all the magical energy around them. Seeing this as a serious threat to the planet the talking monsters attacked the city, not knowing why the monsters attacked the empire attacked back and started the war. Some how the orbs (or the secret to make them) survived the battle and began popping up around the world, so Judith (who survived the war thanks to her dragon) and her dragon began going after the remaining orbs to protect the earth and finish what the talking monsters started.

After hearing all this the group accepts her back, calling her stupid for not trying to explain earlier, and now have a new quest to find out how these dangerous orbs are getting into circulation. Conveniently to help with this, Judith's dragon evolves like a pokemon into a huge flying dragon-like whale, that can pick up their ship carry them any where in the world. So the first thing I did was fly all over the place unlocking the last areas of the map, then saving for the night.
