The Guild had already heard their conversation, as neither Rae nor Nilla was trying to be quiet. Even Dana and Karl had come out across the street to see the show.
They were actually making sure that Rae wasn’t abducting the vampire against his will, but from her perspective, it looked the same.
"Everyone, the Vampire Druid tank, Naxxaramous Orovious Dante, has advanced his class today.
He is now a Forest Guardian.
One of his new Class Skills is a Forest Guardian. We are now accepting guesses and wagers on what it will come out looking like." Rae declared, loudly enough to be heard over the crowd.
The crowd cheered for him, as a Totem Ranked Tank advancing was a big deal.
Especially when it was an advancement from Druid.
Karl waited for the guessing game to end while Dana played with the ring on her finger. She had transformed into Fox beastkin form today, and the ring felt strange on her hand, though it still fit perfectly.
She wasn’t originally going to go out as anything but human. But the dress looked so much better against her fox fur that she couldn’t resist.
"Alright, we have our guesses. Now, Nilla, please show us the Guardian Spirit!" Rae shouted.
"She’s a surprisingly effective hype person." Dana laughed as Rae made a theatrical reveal gesture toward the vampire.
"Right? Who knew that was part of her skill set?" Karl agreed.
"And the winner is ... BEARS!" Rae called as a massive red ethereal bear appeared beside the vampire.
Karl was reasonably sure that was not the natural state of a Spirit Guardian, but as he was a vampire, it had been altered by his affinity for blood.
It was definitely impressive, though.
Dana laughed. "You know, we can do the same thing for you and Rae when you reveal your Greater Golems for the first time."
Karl chuckled. "You know that Rae’s are going to be bigger, better spiders."
He had a point.
Rae would be very disappointed if her extra Golems were not spiders.
The entire population of the Zilaz Guild House came out to join them, and Karl led the procession out of the house to join the gathering in the market, where the first selections for the day’s fashion shows would be held.
The other guilds quickly joined them, as everyone was preparing to head out anyhow.
It made for a truly impressive group, nearly a thousand strong, all walking together, with most of them in Overlord and Totem Ranked formal wear, and exquisitely made accessories.
They were attracting attention with every step, and people were coming out of the stores to stare at them, as if the Guild Alliance was a parade.
In a way, they were, Karl decided.
They were almost all wearing something made by Rae, with accessories that the Darklight Host had enchanted. So, they were basically a walking billboard, or a parade of trade goods.
"Look at that. They’ve done up the whole Alliance for the show. Even the staff members are wearing luxury dresses. And trade skill accessories."
