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.

## Party Formation

A Party is a complicated setup, it's not just as simple as a group of Adventurers coming together to fight Monsters. The common setup of Parties involve "Front-Rows", 'Middle-Rows", and "Back-Rows" for the Party's formation in battle and healing, which is a delicate matter for class placement.

The "**Front-Row**" or "Vanguard" 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.

There are other minor jobs and Adventuring Party needs like a Party Accountant for managing the Party's funds and supplies; as well as Party Chefs who keep the party fed and healthy on long excursions.

After a near disastrous run-in with a Wyvern, the party agreed to start taking other jobs aside from *Monster Slaying Quests* for awhile, which they felt would be safer and more cost effective.

In Episode 01 of the anime, the two were accompanied by another girl; blonde with twin tails and a white cloak (who was seen in chapter 01 of the manga but with another team).

During a *Goblin Slaying Quest* however, the Party not only failed to do research on the supposed cave, they had the awful luck of hunting the Goblin Paladin who was far more intelligent than the average Goblin. Outsmarted and out-maneuvered, the party was killed off in the night with Noble Fencer and Half-Elf Fighter being taken hostage to be victimized.
