[center][h1][color=8882be]Reylan[/color][/h1][/center] [right][sub]Interacting with: Aura[@Project] [color=00aeef]Dubstep[/color][@Leaves] [color=0072bc]Karma[/color][@demonspade64] [/sub][/right] ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From what he could tell, Karma seemed to be the most concerned about taking hits which wasn't an baseless concern. He had to stifled a laugh at Dub's name for Karma, it certainly had a dad-joke feel to it. Reylan didn't consider Karma's quick personal info to be that odd at first but it did worry him that he was so trusting. At least for now they all had a quest to start working on, a few boars between them shouldn't be hard [i]and it would save him a few arrows as well[/i]. A quest like this would offer more than just game experience, it would let them learn how exactly combat works in this game without death looming over. A firm nod in confirmation came from Reylan as Aura pledged they would protect their healer friend. He might not be a tank but he was going to make sure they all got through this. His attention shifted to Dub as he heard him question how the quest would go "[color=8882be][b]I don't know for sure myself but more than likely it will count it for all of us since we are in a party[/b][/color]." he gave his own thoughts on the matter. Secretly he really hoped that was the case, he really didn't have enough arrows to hunt 40 boars. "[color=8882be][b]Sounds good to me.[/b][/color]" Reylan slid the chair back to stand up shortly after Aura did, following behind Dub as they left the inn for their first quest as a party. Her joke was a welcome surprise and he expressed so with a grin as she said it, glad to see that she was thinking in the now. Humor was a good way to bond he always believed "[color=8882be][b]You're not gonna get really buzzed on a cheap drink, maybe after four you'd feel it[/b][/color]." Though he hardly drank himself, he had been around enough people to know quite a thing or two "[color=8882be][b]Right behind ya Dub[/b][/color]." Reylan enthusiastically replied, this was a important milestone on their journey to beating this game. He couldn't but feel excited despite the grim warning given to all players. Once back out into Genesis City, he checked the time on his in-game menu "[color=8882be]It's 5 p.m. right now, we should have plenty of time to complete the quest and get back."[/color] Did time move faster or slower in this world? There really wasn't a way to tell at the moment but he imagined days would 24hrs just like in the real world. They might be able to pick up extra party members on the way but there was no reason to go out of their way to do so at the moment. A few other parties seemed to be on the move as well meaning they would need to move even faster. As they walked towards the gates of Genesis City, Reylan decided to try and form a bit of a group strategy "[color=8882be][b]Just from looking at our current party, Aura should be at the front and Karma will focus a majority of his healing on her. Dub and Karma can support in the back and I will be in between to catch anything that might pass Aura. We should also focus on taking out targets on Aura's flanks to limit the damage she will take.[/b][/color]" This was just a rough idea and his voice suggested he was open to their thoughts on it, unaware that Dub was a 'mage' who fought by summoning a monster.
