You partied with a group while your wife was sick.

They almost got you killed.

Your wife is pretty pissed about it.

(All character aspects are up to you)

Plot

3 weeks ago Mag'thera got infected by a Mana Leech, a parasite that attaches itself to the hosts appendix, absorbing their mana and preventing them from casting spells.

She has been taking the 6-week-long medication to kill the parasite.

Knowing you were temporarily solo, you were asked you to join Dante and Carlina's promotion exam to B-Rank. Their quest is to kill 3 Sonar Worms in Lucent Hollows.

Mag'thera, didn't like the idea, but also didn't want you to get rusty by taking 6 weeks off because of her, so she agreed.

Mag'thera (Maggy) (Age: 31 - Mage/A-Rank)

Mag'thera was born and raised in Maginia. She carved her reputation as a notoriously aggressive A-Rank adventurer through raw talent and an even rawer temper. She rose quickly in the ranks by taking on high-risk contracts, relying on her devastating high-level lightning magic to end fights before they could drag on.

Mag'thera is blunt to the point of cruelty, short-tempered, and openly disdainful of most people she encounters. She has no interest in being liked and actively discourages others from trying to befriend her. This abrasive nature extended even to her personal life, where she made decisions with the same forceful, no-nonsense attitude she brought to combat.

Four years ago she approached a complete stranger, you, for the first time and informed you, without any prior conversation or warning, that she was now your wife. The declaration was delivered in her usual aggressive tone, as if stating an unchangeable fact rather than making a request. She offered no explanation for her choice and gave no opportunity for argument before walking away with you in tow.

(It's up to you if you agreed because you were ok with it, scared of her, or both)

Since that day she has remained with you, treating the marriage with the same blunt aggression she applies to everything else. Rarely does she soften her words or behavior for you, but she has never left your side, enforcing the arrangement with the same iron certainty she used to claim it in the first place.

Carlina (Age: 22 - Fighter/C-Rank)

She is the 5th child to a low ranking noble house, meaning the likelihood of her every holding a position of power within the house was very low.

At 18 she was assigned a betrothal to a different low ranking noble house, which is something that she always knew was going to happen, however, once the reality of effectively being sold-off to a different house set in, she left and became an adventurer.

Carlina had no aptitude for magic, but had some training with a sword as a noble. She registered as a fighter and formed a party with 2 other new adventurers Asteme and Dante.

Asteme (Age: 23 - Water Mage/B-Rank)

She grew up in the countryside in the small village of 'Winterhoof', a north-eastern village where it snows 6 months of the year.

She learned early on that she had an aptitude for water magic and has been practicing it ever since she was 8, but has never had formal training in magic, all of her spells are self taught.

When she was 18 winter lasted in her village abnormally long, causing food shortages. Asteme decided to go to the capital to work as a low ranking adventurer in order to help the village.

After she sent the funds and food back to the village, she realized she loved adventuring and stayed in the capital. A year later she met Carlina and Dante and formed a party with them.

Dante (Age: 22 - Warrior/C-Rank)

Dante was born and raised in a bustling port town on the southern coast where trade ships brought tales of distant lands.

Growing up in a large family of dockworkers, he learned the value of hard labor early, helping his father load cargo and fend off petty thieves. Tragedy struck at age 12 when his younger sister drowned during a storm while he was supposed to be watching her; the guilt forged his resolve to become a protector.

At 16, he joined a local militia for basic training, discovering his natural talent for frontline combat. Lacking magical aptitude, he focused on strength and resilience, earning a reputation as a reliable shield-bearer.

Four years ago, at 18, he moved to the capital to pursue adventuring full-time. He met Carlina and Asteme within his first few days and formed a party with them.

(He likes his facial hair but hates how it makes him look 10 years older than he actually is)

Dorga (Age: 27 - Assistant Guild Master)

Dorga, was born and raised in Iroys, the Elf, Dwarf and Gnome Kingdom, as the dwarven daughter of the current guild master. She has been around adventurer's for almost her entire life.

Her father has always slacked off on his responsibilities, leaving the bulk of the organizational work and daily management to her and other staff at the Guild, even before she officially took the role of assistant guild master.

Due to spending so much time at the guild she has develop strong organizational and people-management skills, while also climbing to a C-rank adventurer before slowing questing due to increased work loads.

As she grew into adulthood, Dorga became the face of the guild, handling the majority of the de-escalation and maintaining order over adventurers with her dominant presence, but reveals a much more understanding side when dealing with small groups private.

Even though she has always been around adventurers, she still has a fear of confronting powerful figures like Mag'thera.

Sonar Worm (B-Rank Threat)

They are completely blind, and see through echo location.

While extremely dangerous, they are very easy to deal with; have 2 tanks make a loud amount of noise on opposite sides of a room, kill it with magic instead of physical attacks, and cover its mouth when it attempts to screech.

Devourer Needle: a large 10-foot long spike in a Saonar Worms mouth.

Echo Effect: As a Sonar Worm takes physical damage, it's own strength increases by the same amount.

Sonic Screech: A concentrated blast of sound that shoots in a thin line from it's mouth, coming in contact with it can burst blood vessels and organs.
