“Welcome to Blackmoor Cove!” Jack shouted down the pier with a smile in his voice. Harnal was dealing with the captain and his crew while four people that appeared to be passengers were heading ashore.

“You’re going to want to inspect them,” Alt said in his mind with barely contained excitement. When the group of men and women stepped onto the sand, Jack popped open their Character screens one at a time.

Jarku - Hero: Guardian | Level 38

Nera - Hero: Fighter | Level 38

Kash - Hero: Light Mage | Level 38

Blim - Hero: Fire Mage | Level 38

“A welcoming party?” said the red-headed Fighter woman with a big grin to match Jack’s. “I think I’m going to like it here.”

“Agreed,” said the man in the red robes. “As soon as we saw those words in the sky over the cliffs, I knew we wouldn’t be disappointed. I have never heard of any building in any Town hold its likeness. Please tell me that one of you knows what that phrase means.”

Lex answered, her head held high. “It’s the name I chose for Blackmoor Cove’s Arcade. It is also the truth we all need to remember. This is our world.”

“Fascinating,” said the female Light Mage in the flowing white dress. “May we see this Arcade? We missed our Rest Bonus, so it appears we’ll be looking to distract ourselves for the day.”

Jack’s attention moved to the fourth new arrival as the Guardian-class Hero pointed his muscular tan arm up toward the cliffs.

“How many Heroes Climb this Tower.” His voice wasn’t as deep as Kron’s but had the same emotionless rigidity. He almost sounded angry.

“You’re looking at them,” Jack answered.

Jarku’s dark-brown eyes passed over each of them. “Only the four of you?”

“Ha!” said the Dockmaster as he stepped down from the pier. “Don’t waste your time with disbelief. When I first arrived, it was only two of ‘em.”

Jack held his outstretched arm toward the stairs at the other end of the beach.

“I hope you brought a lot of coin.”

The Fighter Hero named Nera dug her elbow into the Guardian’s ribs before she followed Jack away from the Dock.

“My brother is happiest when our group is helping struggling Towns get back up in their Levels. Seeing your bejeweled Tower makes him sad. His heart’s in the right place, though.”

Farah let out a short laugh as they walked. “It just so happens the rest of him is in the right place as well. We’re about to take back my home in a few days by assaulting a Dark Tower. They don’t come more struggling than that.”

Kash, the Light Mage woman in the white robes turned to face Farah.

“Truly? Is that wise.”

Lex answered. “Is it wise to simply let the Corruption take everything?”

Jack could tell the Bastion was fired up, so he tried to balance her out with a more relaxed tone.

“Our closest neighbor, Emberstone, fell a few days ago. We believe that the Demon forces holding it will only grow stronger over time. So, the sooner we take it back, the better.
