Name:Rota

AP: 29/16

As Rota split the boar in half, all the other corpses decided to burst at the same time. The whispering seemed excitable right now, for reasons he couldn't explain. All the same he stood at the ready. Boars had been known to reform themselves on him, and he didn't want to be caught off guard. The whispering seemed to act as a radar of sorts, but he wasn't going to take any chances.

Well that happened. They each assaulted the bear with a flurry of blows, and it was destroyed in seconds. They were really overpowered... That's just ridiculous. No one should be able to do that to an augmented bear. Alyx chuckled and shook his head. "I guess he just wasn't ready for the real deal."

Quest: That's not a knife

Cthaer looked around the Gloomwood encampment. They'd only just recently updated the game to support two characters, and it was a godsend. Being able to focus entirely on a particular playstyle instead of trying to spread your one character so thin as to inhibit their growth was an incredible gift. Cthaer was still and admin's character, though he did not share Alyx' admin privileges, so he would need to grow those things in his own time, gaining his permissions over again. That was fine. He'd already been given an incredible head start over a typical first-level character. He knew what his first course of action was, though: He needed to be able to harvest materials in order for this character to approach his maximum potential. Which meant that he needed another knife. He imagined that he might destroy a few components by trying to harvest them with Illfang. He proceeded to the weaponsmith and followed her directions to forge himself a skinning knife. The work of his own hands paled in the face of his legendary dagger, but it would certainly get the job done, he decided, as he examined his work closely and accepted the quest rewards.

Quest: Get Wood

Well, this was a somewhat inauspicious start. No matter. Harvesting was a simple task, and five pieces of wood could take no longer than five harvesting nodes, if past experience was anything to go by. He was anxious to get to the meat of his character, since he had apparently plateaued with Alyx. Until the second floor opened up, Alyx was not going to get very much more powerful. Cthaer, though... Cthaer had a world of unlimited potential before him. He was starting with a weapon that rivaled Alyx' legendary blade, and that Alyx had found no equal to at level thirteen. Cthaer was level one with a weapon that was arguably even more powerful than one of the strongest players in the game. All he had to do was establish a decent buffer zone between the monsters and himself, to assure his survival in this hellscape, and he would skyrocket through the ranks.

Quest: Get Wood

What a haul! He'd hit the mother lode on this one. There were crafting supplies here that he hadn't even heard of. OH! That was right! They'd updated the harvesting systems with update 0.0.12! These must be the new items that they'd added into the game. He'd read the update notes and it seemed that all harvesting skills had been reworked, and a good deal of the crafting skills had been fleshed out. These items must play some sort of role in the new crafting systems. He could imagine uses for the sap and the grubs, but he wondered what possible use someone might have for acorns... Maybe they had something to do with the rumors of a housing update being on the horizon. Alyx was capable of making furniture; that furniture had to go somewhere eventually, right? He waited anxiously for that update to be released, so that he could take advantage of the massive benefits to having a safe place to rest in the middle of all this madness. He'd have to discover the full extent of those updates in forestry on Alyx, though, since he didn't need to collect wood if A.) he didn't need it, and B.) someone else was already doing that. However, this had given him just enough wood to finish this quest, and he ran back to the Cook.

Quest: Shrooms
((Roll: 1d100+5=gathering
Novice Gatherer's Ring: +5 gathering))

That had gone much better than expected. This ring that they'd pulled off of Achan must be pulling its own weight. And with the Red Harvest Ring, he'd be pulling enough Tokens in to cover the expenses for everything the Harvester had to offer. He'd probably end up picking up another Red Harvest Ring, so that he could wear two Red Harvest Rings and then two gathering rings, since he'd be able to buy another one from the Harvester. Put those two rings on top of the Harvester's gloves, and he'd be gathering at a rate much higher than his typical speed, and he'd be pulling in enough Red Harvest Tokens to fill a vault and dive into like Scrooge McDuck without sacrificing efficiency. Sure, he would earn possibly twice as many tokens if he were wearing four of the Red Harvest Rings, but he was more worried about getting usable materials than he was about maximizing gains for supplies that were arguably less useful than the other holiday event rewards. Of course, he might change his mind, depending on how well this ring increased his gains on its own.
