"But you haven't reviewed me yet!" Bluey sputtered.
"Reviewing takes time," one of the sages said. "You should've spoken up. Come back tomorrow."
The party stepped outside as the review board locked its doors. Bluey growled at the doors until Elena stepped up and pulled him away.
"It's not fair," Bluey said, staring at the ground. "I feel so weak compared to you guys."
"It's because you are," Darkmoon replied. Bluey shot him a glare that could've melted castle walls.
"I don't like being out at night," Sai said, staying close to Elena. "C-Can we please go home?"
"That's where I was heading," Darkmoon said. "No use staying out when I can't see-" He grunted as he ran into something.
Darkmoon's eyes widened as he looked up at the zombie, who was moaning and staring at him with dark eyes. The zombie had three fellow zombies shuffling along behind.
"And this is why I don't like being out at night!" Sai whimpered, hiding behind the conjurer.
The two parties stood in front of each other for a moment. Bluey's party was in stunned, scared paralysis; the zombie party was trying to decide who to bite first. Finally, Elena broke the silence.
"RUN!"
Bluey's party turned tail and ran as fast as their legs could carry them. They didn't stop until they were safely back at the Adventurer's Guild.
The next day...
"The guild leaders deem that the warrior Bluey hath earned a level of advancement..."
