[i]Great. A noob.[/i] Elia squinted at Rhys for a moment, sizing him up. The last thing she needed was a green player following her around and getting in her way while she tried to beat the game and get back to the real world. However, there was strength in numbers... Maybe she could help him level up. It was a good sign already that he was more level-headed than most of the surrounding players, who were either stampeding in panic or staring at each other in a daze.

"Hm. I guess we could try it out," Elia said hesitantly. "But we've got to get you some good equipment. You won't make it halfway past a pack of wolves with what you've got. There's a decent armor and weaponry shop the next town over," she said. Her game knowledge from the days when she used to play all the time was rushing back into her head. "Please tell me you've at least played a VMMORPG before. That'd help us move things a lot faster."
