The Beginning

[Verin]

Verin walked into the parliament building confused because he didn't know what to do so he started looking around London and found himself here wondering where he should start.

The style of our RP board is not a one-liner system that might be common in other forum or chat RPs, but rather larger-sized posts.

Red was exhausted. He had just been in his room, about to try and rediscover one of his favourite MMO's, when all of a sudden this had happened.
Originally he hadn't even understood where he was. One second, he had been in an average sized room, a bit warm from the recent weather, with a few clouds outside: The next he felt the wind on his face, was wearing almost completely different clothes, and had a stick and a book on him.

Where am i he thought. I dont recognise any of these buildings

However, after running about trying to find a landmark for a couple of minutes, he noticed that wasnt true at all....

Hang on....That skyline...a wheel, some kind of shard, and that cathedral.....Is this London?!?

But everything looks so old, so worn.... almost like some kind of apocalypse happened..... Wait, thats exactly the kind of atmosphere from Elder Tale!

Thats when everything clicked into place: He'd somehow been transported into the game. He'd heard that the UK was going to be getting servers, so this place must be the new nation. He began to try and think on how something this outlandish could have happened, and started tapping the fingers of one hand as he did so, Which caused some kind of menu to pop up

"Whoa-- wait, what.... 'Red Kite, Ritual Enchanter'....'Spells: Astral Torment'? Wait, is this me?"

It must have taken the data from the new character i was making....If i remember right, the expansion was going to mean that the British players would have to start afresh... Wait....the new expansion..

Any further thinking was cut short by a low growl- Not a mob, but Kites stomach

Holy smokes, im famished.... if i want food im gonna have to beat some mobs.... and im an enchanter of all things, im not cut out for solo play!

However, he then noticed a lone figure walking past the crumbling figure of Big Ben.

As an enchanter im no good alone, but if i was to work with someone....

Red Kite's eyes gleamed behind his glasses, which flashed in the light.


"Hey, wait up! Where are you going!"

[Verin]

Verin hears the boy's voice and looks behind him and slides on his goggles to see. He sees the boy is short but can tell he's most likely one of the three mage classes, Verin turns around and starts walking through the dampness and moss to the boy. When he finally get's to him he can tell the boy is an enchanter and can tell his race is Ritual. "How may I help you," says Verin wondering what the boy wanted and was surprised since not many people talk to him in real life. He liked helping people even though most just left him alone. The boy looked calm and calculated. Verin on the other hand just wanted to get out of the damp heat. "Wait let's go enter the old parliament building first I want to get out of this heat."

As he get into the building and finding a place to sit by the water fountain Verin let go of his breath glad to be out of the heat, "Ah much better now I will ask my question again. How may I help you." Verin put on a light smile at the boy next to him probably a year older than him.

Kite looks up the boys character Bio briefly

Hmm, so he's a sorcerer? well i guess magic damage fits in with what i need, im running support after all.

"Ok, so my Name is Kite. I just got pulled into the game, same as you im guessing?
Look, im not going to joke around, i need help here: If i remember rightly, were going to need to grind up some money to help us to get food, a place to rest for the night, and so on- Say, about 35 Gold?

But im an enchanter, so im not really that good on my own. If we team up, i should be able to help you in battle, and we'll both have a better chance of surviving."

Kite takes a deep breath out and pushes his glasses back up

"So, thats what im asking. Can you please help?"

Verin looks at the boy seeing his worried and says, "Ok  I'll help you my name is Verin, I'm a sorcerer but I use abnormal ways of fighting I use a sword and but buffs on it but I only have one right now. I think its a good idea for us to pair up, I agree with your thinking but don't be so worried I don't usually talk to people but I love helping them so I will help you. I'll go look at the map over on the board and see where we should go. Also let's not stop until we hit level five not just thirty five gold baka neither of us could survive on that much."

With this Verin hops up and goes over to the board with a map and looks at the nearby areas. He sees the Savill Flower Grove area had the level range of 1-20 and checks the bestiary. The place had three good candidates for the two teenagers, Dull Green Slimes, Young Pittered Boars, and Frenmic Rabbits. Verin decided this was good and walked back over two the boy and said, "I got the place and the targets and I've got an easy plan for two of them but the last one tends to run away after little provocation. What do you think Kite?"

Kite proceeded to take a look at the bestiary, and analysed the creatures Verin had mentioned.

"Right, so the slimes shouldnt be any difficulty at all: We both have the Alchemy subclass, and slimes are caterogized under Artificial life, so we should get a 10% damage bonus when fighting them. The rabbits shoouldnt be too hard: my Astral Torment should be enough to deal with them, since i can use it from further away than your inferno strike. So, all in all, our biggest problem might be the boars"

Kite then looked up verins skill and compared it to his own

"Judging by our skill combo, we'll have to focus on damage over time, so drawing combat out may be the most effective idea. More than that at the moment i can't be certain of"

Kite looked back up to Verin

"Im not so sure about getting enough to get to level 5: The game is more based on AP than on getting exp, so it may not work out like that, But i do agree on getting more than just the amount of gold necessary is a smart choice. What im worried about most of all is how fighting may turn out to work. After all, the vantage point will be totally different."

A small smile spread across Kite's face

"Well, what are we waiting for? Lets get going"

"Yhea let's go and if level five is too high will just go as far as possible." Verin got up with a big smile and made sure he had everything he needed. "Also don't worry about the fight, we'll just beat them easily."

As Kite and him walk out of the building towards the grove he says, "The only thing is how much gold each one drops, I still haven't figured how that system works. Well we'll find out later." Then they begin to talk about their strategy for fighting the monsters, "I think for the slimes we could switch places on who casts magic and who kills it like you cast a spell to attract it and then I kill it and vice versa. I agree with your idea for the rabbits by binding them and finishing them, but I want no part of that boss yet not until I'm stronger."

"Prey on the weak and you'll survive. Hunt the Strong and you will LIVE"

Kite raised his hands to his head as though he was getting a headache

"Gah! too much thinking, we can improvise when we get there!"


---A short while later---

Savill Flower Grove: The air was filled with vibrant petals, which filled the air with a subtle secnt. Kite and Verin wandered through the undergrowth, brushing aside the plants in their way

"Wait a second! Do you hear that...."

Behind the duo, there seemed to be coming a quiet rustling noise. Kite moved closer to investigate..:

Dull green slime: Lv: 3,  HP: 100%. Status: calm

Just a Slime? Well thid doesn't seem so hard at all..... Wait a minute, is there something else?

Yet another Dull green slime had moved out of the undergrowth. And another, and another. The pair were surrounded by at least 10 of the things!

Oh no, I'd forgotten: Slimes have a passive ability called mana attraction, they'll move towards any players who use magic based skills, and thats Both of us!


Kite withdrew his Apprentice Grimoire and his Starter wand, and opened the combat menu to Prepare to use an Astral Torment.


They wont aggro yet, not until we attack, and they are only slimes, but still, If they all attack at once, we could be in deep trouble..... whatever happens this is going to be a close battle....

"Hey, Verin, I think i may have screwed up a bit here. We may have to use some of our subclass skills to get out of this one. If we get too low on health, just try and make a break for it!"
