Stryker - Long Arm : Kenji - Heavy Blade : Shagg-ii - Wavemaster

Chapter 1 - Introduction

"Oh yeah, it's mine. Rue Repulse!"

"Ha-ha, take this! Sohgasho!"

"Okay, guess it's my turn. Rue Rom!"

All three attacks strike in order, on their mark and to perfection. The monsters begin to wither away.

"When can we get out of these low level fields?" It takes a moment to register, but a small '?' appears above Stryker's head. Using time save, shortened expressions like '/question' have an adverse affect on your avatar and it can make them show emotion and other facial expressions.

"You know why we are here, the noob here needs some levels. Hahaha..." Kenji is also attuned to using expressions, showing his joyful side and poking fun at Shagg-ii at the same time. With the '/big_laugh' expression, his avatar's mouth opens wide and an automated male laugh rings out.

"That's mean, just because I'm low level doesn't mean I'm a noob." Shagg-ii tries his hand at using expressions and types 'frown' but all that happens is the word frown appears in the chat menu.

Both Kenji and Stryker let out a hail of laughter and both scream out the word 'Noob!', Shagg-ii continues to frown.

"Well, we won't get much exp for you slaying these weak things, let's move to the boss' room. Shagg-ii, the boss should be weak but you never know, stay back and use your regen skills on me and Kenji, got it?" Stryker walks forward and trigger's the door to open.

"He's a little bossy isn't he?" Shagg-ii poses a mutinous question to Kenji.

"Don't say such things, and yes, he is the leader of this party." Kenji switches from whisper mode and back to party mode. He knew the question was asked in whisper mode and quickly changed to whisper for his response. "Now, keep us healed and just stay back. Keep in range of us and watch our health, if either of us get's killed, you're head is ours."

"Okay, but if I don't attack the boss, how am I supposed to get experiene and level up?" Apparently Shagg-ii is a noob, a new player to a game and has little or no experience.

"Ahh, why Kenji? Why? Just being in the party during a fight gets you experience also. Didn't you read the basics in the BBS? But never mind that now, just keep us healed, and when in a party with me, stay out of whisper mode." Stryker runs forward a little, turns back and get's a '/nod' from Kenji, then his gaze meets Shagg-ii. "Use '/nod' to nod if you are ready."

Shagg-ii sets his current skill to cast on to Repth then types in '/nod', giving the signal. Stryker turns his gaze back to the magic portal and triggers it with his approach.
