Unsurprisingly, the instance filled incredibly quickly, including with Amor Rose 's character. With them were Jenna, a young spellcaster wearing purple-and-red robes, and Alex, an agile fighter of some kind. No healer at all. Fun. It wasn't impossible by any stretch of the imagine, not without a full stock of potions for out-of-battle healing, but mid-battle heals would be incredibly limited.
"DUTY WILL COMMENCE IN FIVE MINUTES" flashed on the virt displays of all four characters as Josh sat down to greet the front-line fighter. "Yikes," he commented on the warrior's recent revival. "Happens to the best of us, though. Name's Josh, Knight of Thunder. What about yours?" he asked as their companions gave their names. Amor may have recognized his play partner by not only his voice, which was almost identical to his own in the real world, but his choice of steed. The electric cat purred, though the game world's stimulus limit made it much less intense than being astride the real thing. He knew.
Midway through their conversation, Josh realized his mistake, and it was too late to back out. "Hold on, let me get appropriately de-geared." After a minute or two, the knight's model flickered, showing him in newbie gear, as well. While he still held an electric sword in his hand, it was the first one available in the game. Definitely not level-ten gear like the instance called for, but it was the closest he would get.
DUTY COMMENCED.
With that, the vision of the four faded to white as they were whisked to a forest meadow, a cutscene compelling the quartet into a large temple with a natural, grass-filled floor. Two tall, dead trees stood out as places for Alex to hide behind. Jenna looked excited, her specialty in fire likely going to be useful against all the forest-themed enemies to come. "Until you get a few levels from the mobs, I would stay behind," the party leader advised as he observed the room. "If you're a good climber, try climbing the ivy over there," he pointed to the east side of the room.
Regardless of Amor's decision, Josh would step forward, two creatures that resembled feral versions of Mightyena leaping from behind bushes and ambushing him. Their scratches and bites seemingly bounced off him; even with initial gear, his raw hit point count prevented them from being a threat. With level being a factor in damage calculation, one slash of his electric blade took the first out in a single hit. The other got past Josh and lunged at Jenna. Not even the Beast's speed was enough to prevent her from being knocked over, though a quick casting of AGI was enough to get the now-burning predator off her. It wasn't dead yet, though, and seemed angry at whoever was closest to it!
