I think it works.
There's no real reason to go back, and it highlights Doc's mood and mindset as a player.
plus if we really want we could just have the characters kill them on the way back, or perhaps have those bandits pose a threat to the town later when the game starts to become more... 'real'

"Yeah, I get that. Kinda hard to focus on the details when you're fighting for your life." Geo would nod along. "There was this one weird boss in "Lost souls the reckoning I believe? It's more of a pirate fantasy rpg type of deal." "Anyhow, there's these raiders on the second level that can be very annoying if you encounter them. Essentially they're really fast with a dagger. But the annoying part is, if you don't notice they have a hand behind their back, they can catch you off guard with smoke-bomb to block your vision. Then the fight can be really nasty." Geo semi-ranted. "But the weirdest thing of all about them is. They wear their eye patches upside down, and after the smoke-bomb the eye patch switches sides!" Geo had been rather talkative and outgoing thus far. He was enjoying the walk and a bit of a playful ramble here and there. Also was just genuinely enjoying someone joining the experience with him. Just genuinely happy to have someone there, being solo in an mmo can be fun but rather lonely. Not to mention fighting decent bosses would be a challenge to downright impossible as a solo player depending. "What was that movie... uh..." "Uh, I uh.. yes! I am the Shaolin monk of the eastern turtle temple, and I have come to establish my own new chamber of shaolin training after ascending in the eight fold path." Geo shifted his voice deeper into a somber tone. Trying to hold back the silly smile slipping across his lips. "Probably helps as much as those types that get addicted to uh.. BeatSaber probably. I'm confident enough to not whack myself on purpose! Although I have missed a catch one or twice." Geo would prop up their l33t gamer skills. Before redoubling their attention toward the enemies. The martial class would slip back to being ready once the stray mob had been stunned. He had fully planned on farming and kiting them one at a time. Although he was fairly confident that taking a small group of mobs on at a time wouldn't be a problem for him & Doc at all. This was a starting area after all, so it couldn't be that harsh. The whole point was to help new players grow stronger after all! Right after Geo's initial target had missed their axe swing he'd go in to punishment! Lunging his spear forward to ram the enemy mob through- Then Doc grabbed his arm and started rushing him away. Geo might have poked the enemy before being dragged elsewhere. Honestly the avian was far too surprised to pull away or fully commit to the fight. Not sure why Doc was in a panic, or rushing elsewhere, and even less an attempt to move the fighter elsewhere. Geo more or less was dragged and stumbled along with an awkward mic squawk that wasn't too dissimilar to a bird. Geo could only look upon the massive waterfall that established the landscape. The sound of it was so wondrous in itself, not to mention the beauty of the world around them. It was a moment to be impressed with the VR software that had been attached. The shift of humidity on the skin, or the fur was something that Geo couldn't quite... understand what the caused but made the area feel alive. His brief alarm was shifted into a relaxed pace walk along with Doc. Although he did, stare at his partner curious of what the plan was here. It seemed the two were rushing ahead. Maybe Doc had been coming close to going to bed, or was just eager to clear the area. Seeing the various overturned carts, it actually pushed up Geo's enthusiasm for loot. If there were enough carts around to help form a wall, there was probably tons of trade goods or at least a good amount of gold (or whatever currency this game used). There was bound to be enough to get a new piece of gear out of it, something, decent versus the normal default drops. Maybe anyways. He did briefly stare at the grains turning to flour. He hadn't, seen the process of that before. Although he had known that's what a mill was supposed to do. Just never witnessed the process. Only to look back to Doc wondering if they rushed here just to see the mill working. As the guards didn't look like they were doing anything time oriented specifically. Although the guards were rather relaxed, perhaps even easier to defeat with one of them being unarmed and playing around. Upon hearing Doc's speech, Geo would slowly squint at them. Especially with just how _tense_ Doc seemed to be about the whole thing. Geo would move the staff end of his spear to softly poke at Doc on the nose. "Me thinks, you've been putting too much competitiveness on this. Maybe you rushed a bit ahead with your level too, but take a breather man." Geo shook his head and would whisper. "Unless they've got a ridiculous spawn time. We can poke or drag 'em one at a time, no? Once the guards are down, then the basket guys a bit after." "Worst that happens, we run into the river get splashed." Geo chuckled.

Ninja Mountain Pass

"Ah, fairly old fashioned on the ground research. Well, keeps you out in the public so probably no weird run ins."
Guy nods along. "Do libraries really keep documents of weird murders? Well, maybe newspapers. But never really thought about it like that for recent stuff."

He would seem half-distracted, constantly staring up at the skies.
Staring at the clouds in particular. His eyes tracing over their form to tell how much water was in a cloud.
Plus it was simply relaxing to recognize the shapes and patterns in the clouds as well.

_{"Wonder how organized it is."}
Guy would mutter under his breath, wondering how clean the library would be.
Also partially whether or not they would need a card to even go to the place.

"I'm fine with sleeping pretty much anywhere. Pretty used to sleeping on floors, so it isn't a big deal."
Guy would shake his head. He had slept in far, far worse places overall. A closet floor was rather luxurious in comparison. Plus it felt rather protected since it was behind two closed and blocked doors. He hadn't wanted to deal with any of the ghoulish creatures from the haunted cabin.

"I don't mind walking together. Although what does this... research exactly entail? I hope you're not intending to snoop around murder sites or anything of that nature."

Guy would relax once outside, taking in a deep breath at the humid air.
It would be a relief to have another rainy day.

Geo hadn't really thought about it for a while, but they probably used 'van' or some variation of it dozens of times over the years. He vaguely remembered it was based off one of those fantasy game protagonist from a pretty well known series. He just couldn't place exactly what or who it was at this moment. He'd probably have the thought running through the back of his head for the rest of the trip. Puzzling himself quietly over it, as the memory was somewhere but just out of reach of his current thoughts. It was like the thoughts were vaguely on the cusp of his recollection but dodging him for the time being. "Mmm, you're fine to give a whack or two. It's early mobs so shouldn't too much of a hassle. Just meant we shouldn't get both of our backs to a wall or somethin'." He shrugged. "Don't think the mobs will spawn that fast were it might be an issue though. At least... I'm hoping for it anyways. If we even do need to run away and such." "Baskets on their heads? Goodness not sure if that's going to be cool and funny to see! Always wondered how people are supposed to see out of those things. Are there like... small holes, or is the weaving really that thin, do you think?" He'd just casually chat along the way. "Though anything with a club, except maybe a basic gobbo is probably a tougher lad. So definitely can see it. Especially if they have those massive metal ball ones, like a giant studded bat and all." "Mana, magic points, same dif. No big deal to throw out there. But what's that damaging spell you got? What's it do? Oooo, is it like... summoning a beam of light to shoot at the enemy or something? Or maybe it's something more elemental rather than divine/holy that a cleric would normally use. It's definitely got to have some range on it since you're more of a full caster, right?" Geo grinned noticing a shift in Doc. "You first~." He'd give a pause or so for the Doc to go on about their own abilities. Once Doc was done, or when it seemed like there was a minute or so that passed then Geo would hop in. "Yeah, makes sense that a lot would go for the tried & true sword and shield, or great sword. Uh, guess since I'm only starting out I don't have more than a starter skill yet. Although, from what I've seen there's a bit of variety you can invest in depending on weapons and so on. Picked a spear, since.. well, I've used a stick in real life for stuff, lol. The system is supposed to help, but haven't touched a sword before so didn't think I'd do so good with one." "Picked something to help with leveling a bit, you kinda already saw it too! But guess you'll get another view." He shrugged, with a smug growing grin. "But one day, these golden wings will fly across the sky in amazement! Heh, take that for a backstory motivation." Puffing his chest out with slight growing confidence. Once they came across some of the beggar bandits Geo would immediately move to show off. He'd point toward one of the beggar bandits and let out a whistle toward them. He picked the first one he saw to draw from the crowd, one wielding a club. Geo would use the Skill: Flurry (Cost: 2) Flurry would attract Aggro from a specific target (the beggar bandit), and had a low chance of inflicting confusion on the target. A faint orange glow of aura would radiate off of Geo and his spear as he twirled it about in front of him performing a quick sequence of a figure-8 spin in front of him. Gesturing it as a form of challenge toward the beggar before resting the spear across the back of his shoulders and thrusting his palm forward as if he were a shaolin monk. The last bit was just showing off. "Base at the waterfall got it. Heh, lets have some fun before then, grab ya some extra coin for later~." Geo's eyes were locked on the various enemies versus the river. Not wanting to get struck easily while trying to look cool in front of his party member.
