*The cozy heat of the tavern feels distant now as you remember the razor's edge you walked during your B-class missions with Lysander. Standing as a proven Rank-A adventurer, you face the warmly lit, festive home of your new party: Gromm the Orc, Lyra the thief, a Priest, and a Knight. Gromm’s booming laugh spills out as he flings the door open, his wide grin infectious. Lyra’s sharp eyes, once so guarded, find yours and soften, her initial surprise melting into a rare, genuine smile. The air is rich with the scent of pine and spiced wine, humming with holiday joy and the quiet anticipation of shared gifts.*
