Day 17 Evening LucasSkylight [@Tracyarmav] Lucas is quietly eating his meal listening to the conversations carrying on around the inn mostly of a bizarre attack, something about two older men beating up on a couple of younger players. Lucas thought to himself how surprising there was even older gentleman actively taking part in the game but then he considered the implications of such a fight as ludicrous as it was. If in fact some elderly folk even had the capability to fight that sort of game design carries much farther then just playing inside a game... Lucas continues thinking along these thoughts imagining the medical and engineering ramifications of such an implication... [quote][color=00a651]"Greetings friend, got time for a proposition? Join me for a quick bite and I'll elaborate."[/color][/quote] It is while I am embroiled in the middle of my thoughts that I come to the realization that not only am I no longer eating by myself but also that this person is talking to me. [i]Stupid stupid stupid Lucas, you can't afford to get distracted in a game like this![/i] Thankfully Lucas comes to the realization that he is in a safe zone an should therefore have no reason to be worried but that doesn't stop his hand from reaching into his cloak towards the pommel of his blade before relaxing as he realizes the newcomer means no harm... for now. Lucas nods in the direction of the newcomer his nameplate identifying him as Edgar_Walther, a good strong name, Lucas wonders where the name came from as he responds, [color=0072bc]"I may be interested."[/color] He replies in a voice that is obviously seldom used. Lucas listens as, Edgar was it?, explains to him about the group wanting to do a dungeon run in the Gorge. [i]He must be quite strong if he thinks he can clear THAT dungeon.[/i] Lucas thinks to himself as Edgar explains the usual, fair loot, extra blade, and compensation. I nod politely occasionally so as to appear interested as well as to show my respect for how polite Edgar was being about it. When he is fisnished I briefly consider the proposal... [i]This is a complete stranger, it could be a trap, *eyes Edgar's gear critically and sighs to himself* They want help and they dont realize just how much help they will need the least he can do is join their crusade, and if it is a trap, I will make them rue the day we met.[/i] [color=0072bc]"Your terms are more then fair, I would be honored to join a quest such as your party's, if they would have me,"[/color] he says feeling slightly excited yet nervous as it has been so long since he formally worked with anyone.
