Amelia saw her oppurtunity and ran forward very fast pulling out her sword. It started glowing a bright shade of purple she slashed into the Golome taking a good chunk of health out of him before flying back doing a round off landing on her feet with her sword drawn still to defend herself. "Dont worry guys we can take him." She said to boost there spirits.

Emmy, after being left behind was left to continue to wander the field aimlessly.

Lorak nodded with a large smile on his face, the flowers looked rather ridiculous in her gloved hands. "I find it easier to level alone or with a small party over a guild. Less people to share XP with." He chuckled.

"Do you need any help with your current quests? I'm looking for a partner to tackle the next few levels with" he smiled innocently

Frank was about to reply to SmithSage, "Oh Yeah, I do know you-" then Zenheil abruptly, got into a fight with two Golems. Time to save some lives, he thought. He was about to help Zenheil as he called the switch when the girl who hadn't spoken to him yet ran up to the Golem and dealt significant damage with her glowing weapon. Just then he noticed the other Golem tried to do a sneak attack on SmithSage, "OH Hell no!" He yelled as he swung his Greatsword with both hands over his head in a vicious arc, while the blade itself glowed silver, and cut into the golem's shoulder taking off a small portion of its health, directing its attention on him. "How you guys doing,?" He called over his shoulder to @Juka Gearsworth@themadhatter420

"Woah." said Smith as Frank pulled aggro of him. "Thanks. Just tell me when to switch in." He held his blade low and to the side, charging up for a series of upward strikes meant to knock the enemy down, leaving it open to a slower, more powerful attack. "Oh, and we still aren't in a party." he called.

[Juka Gearsworth]

"We're doing good, and seems like you're fending the Golem with ease, if you need help just call over!" Zenheil proceeded to attack together with Amelia, jumping on the Golem and slashing directly in it's head, it dealt a good damage, and the Golem attacked back, throwing Zenheil to the ground, taking out some of his Health Points
"Argh, this ground is so hard, even though we feel no pain..." He gets up and stretches his back, going for another attack, this time fending off the Golem's arm first, then attacking his shoulder, it worked, the Golem had 25% of his HP left!

[Gareth]

Frank, subtlety tilted his head forwards in a nod, as Zenheil said he and Amelia are doing fine. He continued to focus on the foe in front of him. The golem tried smashing his heavy hand into his face, which Frank sidestepped. It then tried to punch in him in the face, which Frank ducked and then swung his still glowing greatsword in an overhand swing cutting its face and taking off some hp. His and the golem's battle went on for several more moments and the battle was going fine. The golem was half dead, and Frank thought he could solo it. That was until the golem smashed downwards with both its fists, and Frank a little surprised at the creature's new attack, just managed to block it with the blade of his weapon, straining with his muscles to stop from being crushed.

Switch! He called in a panicked voice.

[TheUnknowable]

@GarethSwitch! He called in a panicked voice.

Smithsage ran at the golem, and at the correct time swung upwards with his weapon, knocking it off of Frank. He continued the combo, moving his glaive in a figure eight shape, hitting the monster six times before it fell down. He quickly took advantage of the situation to perform an overhead axe swing on the fallen enemy, Embedding it into the stone creature's chest. It dissolved in a flash of blue light, and a notification appeared.

"Good." he said, seeing that there was a pause in the fight. He swiped his hand in front of him and started a new party, setting the loot to auto distribute and sending invites to people as they finished off their enemies.

Amelia put her sword back into her holster. She was breathing steady as she met with her new friends. "Good job guys! Great team work." She said smiling at every on as she kept her hand on her sword just in case something else spawned. "Lets get into the mines and complete the quest." She said as she started to head further.

[Smog20]

@booksmusicanime Behind her walked Kenneth. He had a dark blue hood covering his face. Kenneth removed the hood, and swished his 10 inch hair until it parted itself on the sides of his face. He placed his right hand on Emmy's left shoulder.

"This mine is so dark... We should walk together so we don't separate", Zenheil then got Amelia's hand "May I?" and proceeded ownards the Mine.
Down there enemies were not spawning yet, so it was a good time for farming resources, the ores were all around, glowing and ready for being picked up, Zenheil picked some, but left most for the other players as he would only sell them later, perhaps other player could craft a better sword later?

[themadhatter420]

@Juka Gearsworth

Amelia took his hand as he lead her down into the mine. "The Blood Gypsies would be lucky to have a great asset like you. If you want to join I can send you the request?" She said as she picked up some of the ore she found. It was what her sword was made out of. Currently it was basic iron with gold in the handle but with more ores she found she could make the sword even better. It still had to be light though.

[Juka Gearsworth]

"A Guild? I accept of course!" Zenhail said looking very excited, he was in Guilds, and he always liked group farming and quests, the whole game was more fun with other players, he also looked at the ores lying around, "Hey Amelia, do you want to upgrade your Rapier? I know a friend in a nearby town that could help with that" Said Zenheil smiling.

[Gareth]

Frank was relieved when Smithsage struck the golem down and got rid of it. "Thanks a million, Smith. We should quest together more often." Then he saw that Amelia and Zenhail went into the mine and he grinned as he looked back to smith. "We can't let them get all the glory, now can we?" He said tilting his head, towards the other two of their group. He then followed Zenhail and Amelia, motioning for smith to follow.

[TheUnknowable]

Smithsage nodded to Frank as they entered the mine, grabbing as many ores as he could. Because of his mining skill, however, he was able to gather ores faster than the others, getting several more per ore deposit than they did. "Hey Frank," he said, "how many do I need for the quest? I may as well turn it in when I get back, and get the free XP." He grabbed a few more from another deposit, trying to figure out how many he'd need. He figured that if twenty would be enough for now, plus the ones for the quest of course.

He made his way to the back of the cave, around a bend that the others hadn't gotten to yet and saw the reason why their weren't any golems inside. A man stood there holding a katana, but that wasn't the most important thing Smith saw. Above the man's head was an orange crystal shape, and his right glove bore the symbol of the Laughing Coffin.

Smith turned and ran.

[Gareth]

Frank wasn't having as easy of a time gathering ore as his pal Smithsage. "What I read from the quest is that you need 30 ore from this mine, I couldn't find any details about the type of ore, so I guess any works." He nodded as Smith. talked about free exp, it was definitely the best way to level up. It was too bad really that there wasn't more free exp. around here.

He looked up from the sound of fast footfalls passing by him, to see Smith's scared face looking straight at the edge of the cave as he ran past. What's got into him, what did he see?, Not wanting to take chances, he quickly went next to Amelia and Zenhail@Juka Gearsworth@themadhatter420 and whispered,"Smithsage is freaked, I don't why but I think we should leave." Having done his bit of communicating he ran after Smith. He was trying to catch up and at the same time, trying to keep his steps as quiet as possible and not give whatever smith. saw a sound to follow.

When she saw the man turn and run she instantly drew her sword trying to defend herself. She had no idea what it was going to be but it never hurt to be prepared for anything. "Stay strong everyone! We would work better if we stick together." She said looking around to see if everyone would stay and try to work together or if they were going to run away.

[Juka Gearsworth]

"All right, lets stay together, whoever is behind the shadows is hiding for some reason" he said, boosting the group's morale, confident and willing, Zenheil was ready for the monster encounter, but much for his surprise the figure showed up, it was a taly man, holding a very beautiful Katana, finely crafted in gold and with scarlet red details in the handle, but in his glove there it was, the Laughing Coffin emblem.
"He's... He's a..." It was all he could say, the rest was not a secret anymore, but a single man wouldn't fight against the adventurers in the mine, he was surely not alone

@Juka Gearsworth

Amelia could feel her heart start racing as she saw the Laughing Coffing. "Oh shit...." She said standing her ground. She was not about to give up now. "Stick together guys. We can only make it out of here alive together." She called out.
