"A pleasure to meet you Bruce Wayne." The pony said. "If you're ready, why don't you come over to my bar? We could really use the help of adventurers like you." "Alright." Tabs said and followed the pony as he led the way. "Bruce?" Raz chuckled at Spruce. "Why not just keep Spruce? It's much better."

"I don't know, I usually think of names much more deeply. I don't do well on the spot." Spruce said. "Guess you've got to stick with it." Emerald said, following Raz, as did Crispy.

"Well, it's not that bad." Raz told him. "Maybe it will grow on you." Before they entered the tavern the sky changed to an eerie red before returning to a natural blue. Tabs looked up with a confused expression before going in. Inside it was filled with a few ponies drinking at the tables. "We've been having problems with the swamp rats in the swamp lately. There's just too many." The pony told them as he walked in behind the counter. "We'd really appreciate if you could get rid of 10 of them."

"Traditional kill quest." Spruce said, not paying much attention to the flash. He assumed it was a bug. "Did you notice the sky?" Emerald asked the bar keep.

"Not a cloud in it." The barkeep told her. "We've been lucky to have such great weather the last couple of days." "Maybe it's something only the player notices." Tabs suggested. "We accept your quest, can you show us where to go?" She asked the barkeep. "Certainly, I've mark the location on your map." The pony said. "You can find the swamp through the south exit."

"Is it in all our maps? Do we have to party up?" Spruce asked.

Post by Bio Plus on Mar 11, 2017 17:45:26 GMT -5
"It's on my map." Tabs confirmed. "And no, seems like making a party is all done automatically. The magic must know our intentions and what we want to do. So it would be like real life. If we want to go out together, we just go out together." She laughed. "Alright, alright." Raz spoke up. "Let's get to the swamp already. I want to see how the fighting works."

"Alright, alright." Emerald said, "Let's go." "I'm eager to see how magic works." Crispy said.

Tabs giggled. "Guess it's decided then." She said walking out of the tavern and down the street. "I don't see an option for fast travel, hope they don't have us getting tired in here."

"We can probably walk indefinitely, but can only run for so long. Did they mention it in any of the tutorials?" Spruce said as they walked along. He opened up his menu again to look himself.

There wasn't anything about it in the manuals. "Nope, doesn't say." Tabs affirmed. "They must have missed it." "We'll find out for ourselves either way." Raz said as they headed along the path. The scenery soon changed into moss covered trees and bogs of water around them.

"Does the map at least give us an ETA?" Emerald asked.

"No." Tabs answered. "But we should be about there already, so keep your eyes open for any swamp rats."

"Let's draw out weapons to make sure we're ready." Crispy said, remembering the tutorials, "Is there a list of spells I know?" She asked. "And how do I use this bow and arrow? Like I would levitate it like I would in the real world?" Emerald asked.

Post by Bio Plus on Mar 13, 2017 18:39:27 GMT -5
ooc: Remember that unicorns can't use levitate (or any magic) by themselves, only through magitech.
"It's in your spell book." Tabs said taking hers out. "Seems like we've got fire ball and light heal spells." She answered before turning to Emerald. "Seems that way. Just aim, pull back the string and fire." Raz took out her sword. "And with this I just point the pointy bit towards the enemies."

OOC: Crispy asked about the spell book and Emerald the Archery. Emerald would use magitech for levitation, so it wouldn't be foreign to her.
BIC: Crispy took out her spell book and tried to see if there was information on future spells in it and how to unlock them. Emerald levitated up her bow and an arrow, drawing back the string and watching it snap back into position. "Hopefully the fact that I've never used one of these in real life won't hold me back." Emerald added. "There might be an auto-target of sorts to help us hit our mark. I don't think anypony other than guards would have practical weapon experience." Spruce said.

The spells followed a simple skill tree that unlocked stronger spells as you leveled up. "I guess we'll find out as soon as we find something to fight." Tabs said her attention still on trying to figure things out. "Like the ones over there?" Raz asked pointing to a pack of very diseased looking swamp rats that spawned nearby.

Crispy nodded "Oh, Fireball. I like the sound of that. Where's the mana bar that says how many casts we get?" She said, still looking through it. Spruce already ran and had his sword and shield out, ready to lay waste to it's smug face. Emerald was drawing an arrow, trying to lock it on the rat before firing.

Razz ran up behind Spruce with her own sword at the ready. "Ah, let me see." Tabs said holding out her hoof. "Fireball!" She said and a flame formed at the tip until it shot out and hit one of the rats that disappeared in a flash of sparkles. "Yeah, rather than having a mana bar it has a charge time. Stronger spells will probably take longer to cast."

"We'll need to make sure we plan accordingly than." Crispy said, holding out her hoof, "Fireball." she said, casting fireball on another Rat. Emerald waited, not wanting to accidentally shot a friend while aiming for a rat. Spruce was simply swinging his sword, trying to his as many rats as he can.
OOC: I'm guessing their are an abundance of these rats.

ooc: There's enough, yes. Razz was swinging her sword as well, each rat exploding in sparkles with every second hit or so. "Watch out that they don't get behind you guys!" Tabs called out to them and turned to Emerald. "I think you can just shoot Emerald, the arrow should hit the enemy you're focusing on. Or if it does hit anypony I guess we'll know to watch out." She giggled.

Emerald nodded, aiming for one of the rats and loosing an arrow. "Crispy fired another fireball, "How many rats are we at?" She asked.
|
|
|
Post by Bio Plus on Mar 30, 2017 20:28:36 GMT -5
"Seven." Tabs said as Emerald's arrow hit a rat. "And eight." She added when Crispy's fireball hit the last rat available. "Only two more to go. Typical, now we need to search for another mob just for that."

"Guess we should split up? We'll cover more ground that way." Emerald said. Spruce spoke up suddenly, "Never split the party! I've seen many a group of players torn apart because they split the party."

Tabs laughed at Spruce' joke. "Plus it'll probably disband the quest and we'll have to start over." "Ah! So no running off on my own for mystery and adventure?" Raz joked as she joined up with the rest. A red glow slowly formed behind some trees.

"Over there!" Emerald pointed out the glow and notched another shot. Spruce ran out and around the tree, sword ready to strike down another rat.

Instead of rats Spruce saw a black creature surrounded by a red glow. Wherever it walked the swamp turned into green grass and butterflies, turning back to swamp as it moved along. The creature didn't react to Spruce. It had holes in it's legs and horn with bug like wings. A changeling, passed out of pony history hundreds of years ago and only those that paid attention in history class in school or was into studying and old stories would even remember what they were. Razz was the first to Spruce as Tabs took her time. "Whats that?" Razz asked, having not paid attention in history at all.

OOC: I can't think of a reason for any of my characters to know about changelings.
BIC: Spruce stepped back, "Be careful guys. We might have wandered into an area where we're not high enough level." "There are 5 of us though. We should be able to take it." Emerald said. "If anything, it's creepy. There's no information or beastiary in this game on this?" Crispy said, looking around in case there were more then one.

ooc: That's fine, just giving background on whether they may or may not know about them.
"I can't find anything about this, but it kind of looks familiar." Tabs said joining up with them. "Why don't you shoot an arrow at it Emerald? Let's see what it does and of worse comes to worse we can find out how the respawn system works. I'm going to check my Assistant for information on creatures that match its description."

"Alright." Emerald said, readying an arrow, "Though I don't like the idea of dying, even if it is virtual reality." She said, loosing a shot at the strange creature.
