Running to the tavern, Suzette noticed how busy the town had become. New players seemed to be coming to the area every day. She knew that part of this had to do with the plentiful newbie areas around Rowan Keep and the Keep's lack of a tavern or inn. Sedgewick had one of each and seemed to be the meeting place for a lot of the adventuring parties. Business was booming for the locals. Aliester was selling healing potions as fast as he made them. Which was good for Suzette as he was happy to supply her with…-

The basement of the tavern was a maze of barrels and stacks of boxes. Derek hinted that it needed some work. The cleared area in one end had several work tables and what looked like a couple of covered wells by the wall. Derek was by one of the wells, getting a couple of buckets of water. "First rule: Use the water from this well. Don't take the top off the other one. The old well is bad." Various ingredients were laid out on the tables. Several types of grains, some burnt grain, honey, berries, and…

Chartok the necrobunny was having a bad day. He'd really wanted to make the whole rabbit theme work. No one ever conquered the world with undead bunnies! Just the looks on the humans’ faces would have been worth the trouble. The problem was, they really weren't terribly effective. He'd gathered up a horde of about 30 zombie fat rabbits and went to clear out a bandit camp for practice. Score: Bandits 30, Zombbits 2. And he'd even attacked while they were asleep! He went back to the burrow to see if he…

Billy blinked a few times. "A city? A big fething hidden city? With a dungeon?" Greenberg took a delicate bite of his lemon before answering. "Yes, I believe that is what Manwar stated. A large ruined city hidden behind a ring of rune carved monoliths hiding it from any but the most stalwart of mappers. Generally, such ruins include dungeons. I believe finding such maximizes the bonuses you so generously offered us." "Right. Of course. You found the dungeon-infested, ruined city that I hired you to find.…

Guard duty for 'The Family' was boring, but it paid well. This current job required long hours, but the overtime was going to be great next payday. Ten employees of Mama'sBoys LLC were currently assigned to guarding TimmyTheWonderBoy37. A recent memo had reminded them all that referring to the job as 'daycare' would get their pay docked. Mostly they helped him power level, which at least gave them some excitement. Currently they were scattered around the perimeter of a large orc camp, keeping a look out…

Suzette walked quickly through the small village. She'd seen a sign for a tailor attached underneath that of another business, but forgot which one. It only took a few minutes to find it - an advantage of small towns. The sign with the tailor's shears was underneath one that had a mortar and pestle and a bubbling flask. Tailoring and Alchemy? Interesting combination. Maybe they had something stylish in a lab coat? Entering, she saw that the tailor occupied the front of the building and a hallway in back…

Rolly and Ben respawned in the Sedgewick Village Square. Immediately the effects of respawning hit them. The day was a bit gloomier, every joint hurt, and it took an effort not to throw up. At least Ben felt that way. Rolly staggered to his feet and put both thumbs in the air. "HAH! Sucess! Still drunk. Professor Rolly tests another theory. I'll be back in a few. Got to feed an animal." He staggered off towards the barn and corral area, leaving Ben to his misery. A few heads turned their way, but this…

"OMG, this is awesome. Do you see all the stuff we can choose from? I had no idea this shit was in the game." Rolly hadn't calmed down for half an hour after reading the various abilities that could be purchased with Core Skill Points. "I see, I see." Ben was on his fifth piece of charcoal from the hearth, making notes on the walls as he read through the long list of abilities. "I'm also confused by some of these. And some of the implications." Suzette had already chosen her abilities and was kicking…

Billy was looking forward to a day off from the game and getting some time in the real world. He knew it wouldn't be a 'day off.' ACME didn't think you needed them and any manager that wanted to stay in management didn't take them. But he'd be in his apartment and out of his pod. He could do paperwork while streaming 'The Perils of Pauline.' Have a steak dinner while going over project numbers. And sleep in his own bed while his pillow whispered all the current office gossip to his subconscious. The last…
