Josh heard screams, followed by gurgling noises. Parties that were on standby rushed to where the scouts were.

“Air snakes!” someone called out on the information channel.

Air snakes were ethereal-looking creatures. They were see-through to most people; they could be sensed by using arcane sight but otherwise only when they were moving erratically could one see them.

They flew through the air. Their main attacks were a powerful Air spear and a poison that could take out anything below Level 1,000, paralyzing them.

Their poison went for fifteen grand soul gems for just a tincture of it. However, getting that poison was not only difficult, but led to many deaths.

Summoned Air creatures cut out toward where the Air snakes were.

After ten minutes, the fighting was over.

“If I was allowed to go then I would have been able to finish off those things in seconds,” one of the Portal Purge Guild members said.

“Yeah, it’s just the guildmasters playing favorites. The Stone Raiders and the DCA are getting all of the action. So what if they have higher levels—we’re better at fighting!” another said.

“They are the top ranked guild. The DCA is the highest rated POE fighting force right now, below the Dwarves. I wouldn’t want to be fighting against a Dwarven warclan,” another opined.

Josh pulled out some jerky and bit into it. They weren’t part of his guild and he didn’t overly care what they said. He was secure in his knowledge that no matter what the Stone Raiders were ranked out of the guilds on Emerilia, to him it was the best.

Lucy floated over on her carpet as summoned creations and the fighters who had gone out to support the scouts came back carrying wounded.

“Three DCA died, one Fellox Player,” Lucy said, seeing where Josh was looking.

Josh let out a sigh. “It might be good training for the DCA but I can’t help but feel upset when we lose even one of them. Emerilia’s AI is just so advanced that I can’t think of them as just NPCs. Why the hell would a game want to have such developed characters?”

Josh didn’t see the complicated look on Lucy’s face as he took another bite of his jerky.

“Well, shows that you’re Human. I think if we just started treating the POE like expendable resources that we’d lose a little bit of our humanity,” Lucy said.

Josh looked to Lucy. “That was deep, and call me soft, but I agree.”

“Three more days and we’ll reach the portal,” Lucy said.

“So, thoughts on putting an ono there?”

“I think it might be a good idea. The people who have gone off to kill off creatures have come back with some good loot. The group that killed off the ebony rhinos two days ago—the meat by itself is worth three common soul gems per kilo. The hide, it’s some of the strongest I’ve ever seen. They’re holding onto it to give it to Florence; she’s looking for a leather worker who might be able to turn it into light armor. There’s a lot of beasts out here, all of them powerful and with valuable resources.
