Ty still couldn't help wincing when Star stuck his blade into the chest of their enemy. Once again, she reminded herself that they were just mobs now, and her mind somewhat cleared. She nodded at his words. "You're right, yeah...I guess I've only ever been to these lower floors so I don't know what it's like up there. But you do, don't you?" she asked, dread creeping into her voice. She'd heard that most higher-ranking people ion the guild went to the frontlines to fight for the players' survival and safe return home, to protect those who couldn't protect themselves. It was a noble c

Ty stepped over and put a hand on Firefly's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay...You're just starting out. Truthfully, so am I. I'm still learning how to fight. The first real fight I was in, I couldn't even do damage. You charged right in without fear, I can admire that. I'd have been quivering." She chuckled. "No need to thank me, we're in this together, all of us players." There was one more enemy, somewhere in here. One more bull. With her current damage, she assumed she could take it out in one, at most two, attacks. That would mean Firefly was safe. SHe honestly admired the new player, but

Ty felt slightly ignored when Star focused on the enemy over her complaints, but she knew, in her mind, that thiswas no time for pettiness. In the next moment, Star had his sword and had already felled the Dragon Knight shielder in one deadly strike. She jumped slightly as the man exploded into smithereens, then exhaled. She really needed to stop getting scared so easily. Hearing that there was no base to find only made Ty angrier and she clutched her rapier to stop herself from screaming at hos annoying this was. Every quest she did just turned out to not matter. It was just a sourc

Ty snorted slightly at Freyd calling the creatures mega-geckos. "That's such a corny name! I guess it fits with an anime-style game, though." She laughed quietly, careful not to wake their exhausted cargo. The people definitely looked worn out...And once again, her thoughts were on the fact that these people would ultimately just reset. But that also meant they would continue reliving these horrible moments over and over, until this game shut down. I guess they just had to make sure the game did shut down, for the NPCs' sakes as well. Ty took the canteen from Freyd and sipped some wate

Ty was glad the people were cooperative. She decided to focus on their well-being for now, climbing in beside Freyd, but keeping an eye on them. Who knew what could happen on the road? Apparently, the system could drive, according to Freyd, which was useful information. "Hmmm, point, what even are these lizard things, I've never seen them before." she wondered aloud, looking at the creatures. Were they really just lizards, or something more? Ty shuddered when Freyd suggested Ali sold his brother...but the worse thought was that none of it mattered. She sunk in her seat, nodding, and

Ty nodded. If all she had to do was she had to do was stun it, she could do that. She hoped so anyway. There was little time to plan anyway, as the minotaur came charging at them, true to its name and appearance. Ty was glad she wasn't wearing red, although she wondered if that would have mattered at all. No, this was noo time for such thoughts! Steeling herself, Ty was ready to attack when Firefly dashed past her, sword in hand. She really was a brave new player, Ty had to give her that much. Sadly, she missed, which was surprising. Ty had assumed they'd be able to destroy this thing due

Ty was glad to have Firefly with her for this quest. She knew she'd have gotten totally lost without her new friend's help. And then she would've been toast, to use a euphemism. As they walked, Ty kept an eye out for any potential enemies or anything similar. She hoped she'd find none, but she couldn't ever relax in this world, especially not in a dangerous maze like this. Suddenly, there was a loud sound from the other side of the wall. Ty stiffened, holding out a hand to stop Firefly. "Listen...it's one of the minos. We have to be careful." Ty edged along the wall, drawing her rap

Ty sighed as she helped Freyd lead the prisoners to the wagon.. They walked as she had walked in real life, slowly and painfully. She found it ironic that she was the one helping these people to safety now, but she knew it had to be done. She stayed away from Cassim, however, noticing how fidgety the man seemed. He looked ready to bolt at any minute. It was slightly funny, for a man with such a scary reputation. As if reading her thoughts, Freyd suggested they keep him tied. "Do you think it might be best to keep him tied?" The quiet question directed to Ty to solicit her thoughts. "

As Ty watched, loud noises came from within and she gritted her teeth anxiously, hoping everything would turn out alright. A moment later, the barred door exploded and what she assumed was the kidnapper became mere shards, sprayed out everywhere to be forgotten, at least until he respawned, if it was an NPC. Freyd's head popped out after, saying there were no more enemies. She raised a thumbs-up. "Yep, nothing out here either!" she said, nodding. She walked inside, wincing at the sight of so many people who'd been trapped here. How could anyone be such a monster and kidnap people?! They

Ty held her breath. A knight was suggesting they turn back! Maybe they'd be safe! Maybe there'd have to be no fighting after all! However...Of course, not everything would go as she'd hoped. Before the duo could leave, Star jumped out from his cover and attacked, stunning one of the knights. The other one, however, slammed Star back, causing Star to stumble back, looking dizzy. She wanted to yell at him and tell him he should've listened to her. Ty cursed quietly, drawing her rapier. Slowly, painfully slowly, she wiggled her way out from behind the rocks and leaped, aiaming to st

Ty chuckled at Sam's comparison of the minos with cats. She now had the mental image of herself and Sam holding a bag of cat treats and the minos charging at them, then stopping short to eat the food. It was a much more calming thought than them being trampled by the much larger bull-men. She followed Sam into the labyrinth, lifting her Glow Stone so it lit up their path while Sam marked their passage with her chalk. Every time they backtracked, Ty cursed, feeling more and more lost with each passing moment, but they had to press on. Going back now meant giving up and never seeing the rew

Ty listened to Sam's explanation intently, brow furrowed. "Got it, so one's more aggressive. I suppose determining which one will be easy." she commented sarcastically, assuming the creature would charge at them. She had to be ready to defend her companion in that case. Sam mentioning Star made Ty perk up. So she knew him too, huh? Small world. For a new plaeyr, Sam seemed way more prepared than she had been when she first started. She still remembered feeling utterly lost in the streets of the Twon of Beginnings and just shutting herself in an inn., until she started taking on ques

Ty blinked as a trade menu popped up in front of her. She groaned and wiggled in the small space of the crevice until she could poke her hand out enough to press the accept button. She honestly didn't know how she was going to draw her rapier at this rate...She just had to pray it wouldn't come to a fight. Turning back to the trade window, Ty saw she'd just recieved a teleport crystal. Grabbing it in one hand, she stuffed it in a pocket, shaking her head at Star's suggestion. She couldn't just leave him here! Still, the Crystal could be useful in other instances and she was grateful for i

The 'shushing' of agitated prisoners shifting against painful bonds made awkwardly painful by dearth of having been dragged to their current vantage. Up ahead and to the right, in a smaller watchtower, high up inside the main courtyard. Ty's brows furrowed and her face took on an angry expression. How dared these people trap innocents like that?! Her eyes opened to find Freyd nodding to her. He claimed there were only a few enemies left and she sincerely hoped he was right. All she had to do was keep them from escaping. That sounded easy enough. She winced when Freyd's armor made noise,

Ty honestly wondered how Kil could swing on a giant root so casually. She approached the kitten she'd found and gently began to pet the creature, signaling to KIl to get the hell down here before he fell. The last thing she needed was to have to carry him home or something. She found it hilarious that he described himself as a loot goblin and her shoulders shook slightly with muffled laughter. She didn't want to scare the poor furball. Rolling her eyes at the comment about jumping off cliffs being like waterfall diving, she focused on the part about switching to support. "Yeah, I could se
