Adventurer Party



An Adventurer Party is a group of Adventurers, usually a team of five or six, that come together to preform Quests for organizations like the Adventurer's Guild, Rogues Guild, and the Royal Court.

An Party is a complicated setup, it's not just as simply as a group of Adventurers coming together to fight Monsters. The common setup of Parties involve "Front-Rows", 'Middle-Rows", "Back-Rows" for the Party's formation in battle and healing which is a delicate matter for class placement. There are other minor jobs needed like a Party Accountant to managing the Party's funds and supplies for Quests, as well as Party Chefs who keep the party fed and healthy on long excursions.

Party Formation
The "Front-Row" is where Warriors, such as Party Tanks and Fighters, and Scouts are placed; as the Scouts are to "scout" ahead and get the Party their bearings alongside the Warriors who defend the Party. If the Scout doubles as a Ranged-unit they'll usually retreat to the Back-Row, or a Middle-Row, to provide cover for the Front-Row.

The Back-Row is where the Party's spellcasters, like Wizards and Priests, are placed so they have cover to utilize their spells as needed. Priest-types usually remain in the Back-Row to provide healing as well as item and potion management in case someone on the Front-Row needs to swap out.

Active Parties
A specialized team formed together on a special assignment to show racial cooperation in the Western Kingdom; the Party worked so well together, they decided to stick together and continue questing. The Party handles the much ignored Goblin problem for the Adventurer's Guild as well as commissions from the Royal Court. Despite being of a lower rank, Priestess sometimes functions as the Party's leader due to the veterans mentoring her Adventurer's career. Dwarf Shaman also doubles as the Party's chef when they are out in the field and Lizard Priest as the Party Cartographer.
