"Ready!"
Sunny Day roared out to his guildmates as they entered formation on the Plains of Deriam. These were very rough and heavily contoured grasslands with many rises here and there, forming low hills. It was advantageous to the Dragon if it kept air-borne, which added to the difficulty of the event.
"In position, Guildmaster!"
Sunny Day was satisfied with the seriousness his guild members displayed, as well as their discipline. They had been preparing for this event for a long while, hoping to at least rank in the top 100 guilds.
The Dragon Slaying event - and in fact, most events - did not reward the final hitter solely, but everyone who partook to some extent. It would separate into guild rankings and individual rankings, where the amount of damage dealt would form the score.
The best rewards went to first place on either ranking, so it was no wonder most guilds chose to take part in the event despite knowing that they would more likely be roasted into a crisp steak.
