Frostmaw

Frostmaw's day improved slightly after completing a quest, and she decided to take a break and have something to eat. She found a small bench to rest on and pulled out the food she had just bought. The bread was slightly warm, and the bacon was perfectly crispy. As she ate, she savored the flavors and textures of the food. Despite it being a game, the food felt incredibly real, and she couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to prepare an entire feast with all kinds of delicacies. Frostmaw was aware of the cooking profession, but crafting wasn't her forte, so she didn't pursue it.

Once outside her stomach grumbled again, only to remember that she hadn't even eaten yet and maybe it was about time. Despite it being a game, it was clear that food was important and she moved towards one of the many smaller NPC stalls on the side of the city road. "Greetings! Could I get some of that bread please?" she asked the lady at the stall as she turned her attention towards Frostmaw. "Well of course young lady, anything for a brave adventurer like yourself." She said. Handing over something that looked like bread but was a bit hard on the side. Not every NPC out here was good at sell

opening the door to the blacksmith again she was hit with the familiar sounds of the hammer hitting the anvil and the smell of iron. While not as pleasant as Zackariah's shop, Lyle's shop had its charm in some way. "I got what u asked for," Frostmaw said louder so Lyle would at least acknowledge her entrance. Handing over the three tusks she got curious "What do you need those for?" she asked and it seemed that she was finally for his full attention. "I use these on hilts," he explains simply, before setting the items aside. "Now, I'll have you know that I don't take loans from anyone, es

Frostmaw lifted her gaze to the sky, where the sun was now midway through its descent. The thought of lunch made her stomach rumble as she quickly stashed her loot and began to move. However, her eyes caught sight of a glimmering object on the ground. Though she wasn't too concerned, she decided to pick it up and stash it away for later inspection. Once she was back inside the walls, she carefully examined the item, turning it over in her hands. As she descended the hill towards the city, she observed a few more people braving the wilderness. Perhaps, they had finally realized that sittin

Frostmaw sighed as her weapon was still in the same position just missing the boar. How did she miss and why did the boar stop moving? But all was quickly answered as she came up with an idea, she dragged her weapon to the left with a swing as the heavy momentum of the weapon guided her movement. The head of the halberd moved behind her and then she moved her arm over her head as the weapon followed quickly. In just a few seconds the weapon made a complete circle around her and as the boar saw this it started to panic a bit. Wanting to run away before being hit was already too late as just a f

Frostmaw the tiny boar that seemed to have just recovered from the throw and with a smile Frostmaw got ready to get some real bacon soon as well! Taking her Halberd she charged for the boar again. Her arms being guided by the game, it was clear what was gonna happen and she let the game guide her. The Halberd went spear first for the boar with a strong thrust guiding the weapon a bit with her left arm she went for the boar. Quite a bit of dust got kicked up from her attack and she waited to get the menu pop up from her loot, but nothing happened. When the dust settled she could see her we

Wrong words wrong time! As she turned to face the boar she saw the little one charge at her with quite a lot of speed. She wanted to get her weapon ready and went for the attack but the boar moved around her attack and with a wide swing the boar came at her. The little boar was only a few feet away now and with that speed, Frostmaw saw the anger within the little one's eyes. She moved quickly and guarded herself with her left arm. She was holding it in front of her as the boar hit the back of her lower arm. With the impact from the boar and the speed it had Frostmaw almost fell down but w

She stood up and walked in a random direction. After a while, she spotted a tiny boat just a few feet away. This one seemed smaller than the other two, but faster. However, she was not going to let that stop her from fighting it. She equipped her weapon again and approached the boar. She took her weapon out and got ready for the fight ahead Taking her halberd, she activated her sword art. For a moment, she felt like she was going to make the same move as before, but this time was different. Charging towards the boar, she prepared to attack. The halberd went low, and with a quick movement,

As she surveyed the weapon she had used to take down the boars, she couldn't help but think that the polearm was a really effective way to fight. The weapon had allowed her to kill both boars easily and quickly, and she was impressed by how versatile and powerful it was. She wondered if she should stick with polearms, or if she should try something different next time. Turning her attention to her armor, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with how basic it was. She knew that she could improve it, maybe even master a specific type of armor. Her eyes were drawn to the heavy armor

As she played the game, she couldn't help but notice the incredible amount of freedom it offered when it came to building her character. It reminded her of an older MMO she used to play called ESO Online, which also allowed players to customize their characters to their heart's content. The game seemed good back then, and with the same level of freedom that she had in this game now, it was just as enjoyable. This got her thinking about her combat style. She typically liked to switch between two-handed weapons like greatswords or battleaxes, and also enjoyed tanking with a shield or spear

Frostmaw scanned her surroundings to search for any more boarlets to hunt. But it appeared that she had taken down the last target in that area. It was time for her to take a break and rest for a while. She sat down on the hilltop and took a deep breath. her energy seemed to recover slowly but it was at least something. She was always wondering how it would be to do combat in this game and honestly, she enjoyed it way more than she should have. But at least it was fun so that is what counted here. She started to slowly look up at the sky, the blue sky and the calm clouds really made it fe

Her first fight and it was... well, "THAT WAS SO COOL!!!" She yelled out to herself, she enjoyed that fight and it was clear she did so too. With the loot gained from the boarlet, she looked and inspected the quest. Yep, it was the right item so that made it a lot easier for her to know who to target and who not to target. And that target seemed to appear right on time, as the Boarlet next to her walked up seeming like it was in shock by its brother being killed by this player. It seemed ready to charge but Frostmaw took her weapons with a swing behind her and right on queue went down int

Frostmaw took her halberd into both hands again and turned to face the small boar she had been fighting for a bit now. It was him or her, and it was clearly going to be him in this case as not only did Frostmaw have armor but also most likely more HP than it. Taking her weapons she used her sword art yet again, the head of the halberd moved to the side and then behind her before she pulled it down towards the boar that seemed to run at her. Perfectly timed this time, as the fast boar was this time slashed right at its back and this red cut appeared on its body. These red pixels seemed to

It was gonna be getting used to that her actions felt guided but it was quite nice too. It seemed to her that the second bar she had under her HP was energy as the first time she used a sword art which seemed logical as it would mean that she could not keep using sword arts the whole time and had to either rest or just stab the things in front of you. But Frostmaw got ready again taking her time to look at the boar's movement and with the same sword art she moved the halberd up again and smashed down in a cutting arc towards the boar. The impact landed in the dirt as well as her whole att

Inspecting around Frostmaw noticed one of the boarlets standing alone and she moved toward it. She took her halberd from her back and took a fighting stand, holding the halberd in two hands she was ready to attack the beast and ready for a fight. To her surprise the little bugger noticed her and it started moving pretty quickly. Readying her weapon as the boar moved towards her, she took her stands and went for an attack. It felt like the weapon was guiding her movement as she took both her hands onto the weapon and with a wide arc moved the halberd head over her head and with a powerful

it didn't take her long to reach the same hilltop again where she was gathering materials. She looked around again to see the people she had seen before, but this time she had no luck finding anyone. Not too worried honestly. Her job right now was to find those boars and take their tusks. So if she was, taking her eyes towards where she was before she walked off the path and onto the hills. it would take too long for her to find the small area with what seemed mobs spawning, and in between all that there seemed to be the smaller boars, the boarlets. She walked down towards the boars that

it seemed clear that what she saw last time when she went outside, or at least she thought so. That those people fighting those boars must have been doing this quest too. She hasn't seen them again so maybe they just mist each other as she finished her quest. Once getting to the gate again the guards still stood well guard, which seemed logical. Considering PVP was a thing and a sort of honor system too. So maybe the guards were there to keep those people out especially considering PVP now would be straight-up murder. But she wasn't all too worried at the moment, most people seemed to sta

As quickly as that interaction happened so did the quest that Frostmaw got here. It was clear, Kill three boarlets to collect their tusks. "Sir but... the loan" Frostmaw spoke but Lyle had other thoughts waving her away very quickly. Well, there was no argument to win here as the quest clearly seemed set on what had to happen. With such a move Frostmaw turned around quickly and walked towards the door looking over her shoulder for just a second to see if there was any reaction from Lyle who seemed to have returned to his anvil. As she walked outside back into the open air she was all too

Walking and opening the door, the pleasant smell of herbs was not something she was gonna be greeted with this time. Instead, a dimly lit shop smelling of raw iron and burning wood. In the background, she could hear a hammer strike metal and with every cling the sound rattled and bounced between the walls of the shop. Just like last time an older-looking NPC was working at the anvil, but this was not Zackariah of course but it must have been Lyle. Walking closer the man looked up and let out a sigh. His voice sounded annoyed and he was not in the mood as he stared at Frostmaw, "I'm busy!"

First day of the game, It was remembered very clearly by Frostmaw. After clearing the first quest needed in the quest line of the First few lessons it was on to the next one. In the quest line, Frostmaw had to figure out who the mayor had loaned some Col to. Her first target was the alchemist named Zachariah, A nice and friendly NPC who was all too happy to help. She learned a bit about crafting and searching for materials during the quest. It didn't take too long for her to find those materials at all, and the crafting went perfectly. Gaining a few new items and some big EXP from the quest ma

As she left again she looked around for her friend who was waiting for her, Appolizing for the wait she moved over. She felt really nostalgic about coming back into his shop, even seeing some other players move into his shop to take the same quest she took back then. Maybe they will have the same experience as her back then, or maybe it will be different from hers. But no matter what she did enjoy the little fetch quest he gave her. And it made it even better that it was just the perfect day to go out today as it was way back. Prepare to move on again Frostmaw left with her friend towards

To her surprise, the NPC did remember her and he greeted her "Ah Hello Miss, it's been a time, How have you been." he asked her "Did you come to make an order or did you want to chat?" he asked her quickly. Frostmaw smiled "A bit of both, seems like you've been slowing down with orders, and Yes it has been a while dear friend. I'm doing wonderful, I would call myself a full-fletch knight by now," She said with confidence in her voice. Even if it has only been a month or two she has improved by now and it felt great. "Well wonderful, I remember the day still clearly miss! you did such an a

Leaving the shop Frostmaw looked around and looked at the map, it saw clear as day where she needed to go and it was not that far from where she was now. Just a bit of a walk and the next quest in what seemed like a quest line was gonna start. This was all a memory now as Frostmaw had moved on and done some great work so far. Returning to the present day, Frostmaw looked at the little alchemist shop that was in front of her. Back then she was still a greeny noob, but now she learned quite a bit about the game. These first quests were truly to explain the world and how it worked. getting a

Frostmaw was quite amazed by her performance of her crafting and that was made even better with the praise from Zackariah. Even if it wasn't from a real person it still felt real to her. With a glow on her face, she smiled and thanked the alchemist. "Now, was there anything else?" he asked her and Frostmaw nodded, "Oh yeah I also was asked by Mayor Dorian to ask about some col he let someone borrow, but he has forgotten who it was during all the hectic events happening this week." She said. "Leave it to Dorian to forget something so important. No, I'm afraid it wasn't me that borrowed the

Zackariah turned towards Frostmaw and pointed towards the materials on the table, "Now it's your turn, Miss, Just do as I did and you will be fine!" He said. Frostmaw turned towards the materials looking over them, all of them had their own little stat but it was very clear what to use. So this was the crafting mechanic, it seemed pretty easy but it was probely because of the quest itself, and maybe later when she wanted to get really into it it would be a lot harder. She did every step as shown, grinding down the materials and then moving on to heating them up at the station. It went pre
