Spotting Reaper standing in the gate ahead of me, an easy task with his distinctive mask and pet, I walk up to him and ask to if he's ready to head out.

"Ye ready lad?"

That minor courtesy taken care of I set off at a brisk, but not uncomfortable, pace due east towards the gorge, and the kobold mine that was supposed to be just inside. I'd never been this far east, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from the mobs, though I had talked with several players in town who had been this way before. Having that head knowledge wasn't the same as having experience under your belt. So while I wasn't concerned about the mobs around here, I did wonder just how different they'd be from the dogs I'd been so accustomed to dealing with. I was disappointed to see several groups of players farming the mobs near town, and thus depriving me the chance to find out for myself just how different things were on this side of town. But perhaps a little farther on, there would be plenty of mobs available to test myself against...

Uhhhh..... To be fair, that information was never mentioned in the first OOC or IC post so I never knew out clothes didn't come with us when we changed. I'll fix this and make it funny for everyone else viewing O_O

@Alina13

I know, that's why I brought it to your attention. And no worries, it probably should be in the first OoC post. *nudges @KatherinWinter* That was also why I said I'd have fun dealing with it when I had to awhile back in the OoC, lol. I had intended to warn you by demonstrating in the IC, but you beat me to it. XD

I consider the offer seriously, it was unexpected, more in it's timing than anything else, I suppose I could use him for that one collection run that I've been considering... I weigh my options, I didn't know this guy at all, but I knew he wasn't a red player, so that was a plus. Still didn't mean he wasn't above extortion... I'd just visit the town vault and stash my excess gear there, that'd keep me from loosing to much. Sure, I'll risk it, let's see what this Reaper can do.

"In tha' case Sair, I think have jus'ta job in mind. Meet me at ta east gate in half an hour. Oh, an' be ready ta be gone fer a while."

I rise, open the main menu, offering Reaper a party request, before smiling, and strolling confidently out of the Inn. I had some work to do. I visit the Vault NPC an stash anything I won't be needing for this little expedition. I checked the durability of my gear, it was all at max, and I had the best equipment I could use equipped. Next I make my way to the east gate, where I await Reaper and his pet jackal. This shouldn't take to long, as he mine was just inside the gorge, but then again, we were getting a late start and there was no telling how much fun it would be to work the mines through the night.

speaking of OCD, did you just mispell your own characters name for the first word of your post? @BlackPanther

@BlackPanther

NP, it was honestly an OCD thing, I needed to read the correct post to write a proper response. Sorry, I'm weird, get over it, :P

Laptops are nice, no nasty auto-correct, though sometimes I need it. XD Responding shortly.

Ikanus pulls off his hood revealing more of his mask and hair. IN all honesty, he was getting bored. His level was basically too high to gain very much experience from anything now and yet he still refused to join a guild. Making him a bit more known then he would entirely like due to that. Seemingly lost in his thoughts he finally looks up and notices the other player. His blue eyes seem to pierce the other player as he studies him curiously. The stare is broken when his food arrives though.
As he eats he thinks. Tailpin had gained notability through his night runs and probably gained wealth. Ikanus consideres teaming up with him again, but doubts the archer would want to do so. His lack of change of armor was suspicious as well as his mask. His skill of leather working was increased to the point where he basically made identical armor at a higher level. He shakes his head as he keeps eating and thinking.
Maybe this newer player could use help. It could be fun to meet someone new and see how they work. He could contact tailpin later...if he would take him they could probably move quite far. He sips his water and decides that this is the plan he is going with. It seemed rather solid to him, but anything could happen. Well anything and anyone could happen.

Edgar_Walther felt someone watching him and looked around, by the time his gaze settled on Ikanus though the man was paying attention only to his food. Edgar looked around some more, but the feeling was gone, so he finished his meal quickly. Standing, he almost left the inn and went about his day; but something about the strange man with a jackal intrigued him, so he walked over to the man's table and sat across from him. He leaned down and scratched the jackal behind the ears, and then under his chin, before turning to and addressing the masked man.

"The name's Edgar Walther, and I be at yer service sair. My skill with spear and shield are matched only by my skill as a smith. How may be of service to a gent such as yerself this fine day?"

@BlackPanther what does you first sentence mean, or rather what was it supposed to say?

"Ikanus pulls off his hood are waking his mask and hair" so much incoherence. :P

Work's getting interesting, might be working two jobs for a bit... I'll try to be around, if I'm not I'll catch up.

I looked up as another player walked in, and slurped the noodles hanging from my mouth a little louder than I had been. I nodded in his direction, but he didn't seem to notice me. Oh well, he's not the first player to give me a cold shoulder. I do take some interest in his pet, a Jackal apparently, interesting choice there... He might be worth talking to at some point, but I wanted to go visit the major ore deposits around town. One of the PC Vendors had given me a map of places to collect ore, and what kind of mobs to expect at each place. It would take me a few hours to visit each site, and that wasn't counting fight times. I probably wouldn't get to see all of them today, now that I thought about it... hmmm, well I could just go visit that one place, it was secluded from the other sites, and seemed to have a guardian watching it or something. That would be interesting, I wonder if I should get a group together to go fight it, but I didn't know anyone around here... and the vendor hadn't said anything about needing a group, so I'd be okay, right?
