Frosch's MMO adventures

Summary: The latest MMO craze has hit Fiore, and everyone is playing, even Frosch. Needless to say, things are going to be chaotic as the innocent Exceed, is let loose in game.

Authors notes: This story came about from my 'Frosch's Internet Adventurers' series, I realised that MMO's provided so much material that letting Frosch loose on an MMO was a full length story in its own right.

There will be multiple pairings, though some characters may not be entirely aware of who they are crushing on in game.

Chapter 1 - The Starter Zone and crafting for beginners

"Whaaa, this game is huge, there are so many people, Fro doesn't know where to start." The green Exceed stared at the computer screen in amazement.

"Go to the beginner quest giver, and she'll give you your first quest." Rogue said.

"So I move with these keys, and this is my attack, Fro loves World of Guild Quests Two."

"Good, so what do you have to do?" Rogue had already done the quest, so he knew the answer, but he figured it was best to give Frosch some help on her first MMO.

"Fro has to, kill ten goblins, where are the goblins?"

"She the arrow on your map, that shows you where to go to find your quest objective."

"Oh yeah, thank you Rogue. . . eh? What's this symbol?"

"Your character has mail, there's a mail box there, click on it, and whoa, that is a lot of people giving you free stuff."

"Why are they giving Fro free stuff?"

"There are lots of reasons, but it's normally a good thing, so don't complain, unless they send a dirty mail with it, then let me know who sent it, and I'll deal with them."

"Ok, Fro will check, ah they all think Fro is cute."

"That's nice, now see what you can actually use."

"That sword is nice, and Fro can use it!"

"And the potions, make sure to drag them to your hotbar."

"Ah, I thought you were being talkative Rogue, teaching Frosch how to play World of Guild Quests Two?" Sting stuck his head through the door of Rogue's room.

"Hmm."

"Yey, Fro killed her first goblin, nine more to go."

"What are you playing Frosch?" Sting asked.

"Exceed Rogue."

"Why am I not surprised?" Sting sighed, looking at the pink Exceed character on the screen.

"Fro is having fun, but Fro killed ten goblins, now what?"

"Go and hand the quest in with the person it says, they should give you another quest, or send you to someone else who has a quest."

"Ok, eh someone is sending Fro a message, they want Fro to join their party."

"Hmm, well, they're also new, but having a party is always a good thing, but tell them you're new as well."

"Ok, Fro will do that. . . oh they still want Fro, should Fro join?"

"Go ahead."

"Yey, Fro is in a party."

"Hmm, a summoner, a knight, and a healer, plus you, that is a pretty balanced party. Ah click that tab there, now you can see just the chat between your party."

*You have entered Party Chat*

StarGirl85 - Hey Fro-Chan

Fro-Chan - Hi

SkyMaiden - Hi I hope we can all be friends

ScarletKnight - That would be nice. . . how long have people been playing?

Fro-Chan - Fro thinks, about five minutes.

SkyMaiden - And you have all that stuff?

Fro-Chan - People just sent it to Fro, said Fro could have it.

SkyMaiden - That's nice of them.

ScarletKnight - Where are people? I'm at the hand in for kill 10 Goblins.

StarGirl85 - Oh I see you

Fro-Chan - Fro can see SkyMaiden.

SkyMaiden - I still need 3 goblins, eh I got a kill without touching one!?

Fro-Chan - Fro just killed a goblin.

ScarletKnight - I have a manual, it says all party members get credit, loot and xp from each others kills.

Fro-Chan - So if Fro kills two more goblins, SkyMaiden gets her quest objective?

ScarletKnight - Yes

SkyMaiden - Thank You Fro-Chan, I've got a goblin here if you kill another one we can go to the hand-in and get our reward.

Fro-Chan - Ok

SkyMaiden - Thanks, as a healer I don't deal that much damage, so killing things takes a long time for me.

Fro-Chan - Fro needs stealth to do lots of damage, but these goblins are easy to sneak up on.

StarGirl85 - I can do a bit of damage, but I don't have that much MP atm so I can't bring that many summons out.

ScarletKnight - I can do damage if I equip a two-handed weapon and medium armour, but since we have a Rogue, I'll go with heavy Armour and Shield, and be almost impossible to kill.

SkyMaiden - I'm going to go down the middle path with my healer, so I can buff as well.

Fro-Chan - Fro is not sure what build to use.

StarGirl85 - You want to go down the stealth route with as much damage as possible, as an Exceed you get a natural bonus to stealth and at higher levels, the ability to fly.

Fro-Chan - How do you know that?

StarGirl85 - I've just found the online Encycolpedia, I'm thinking of going down the high power summons route, two or three out at most, but they're almost as good as a player.

ScarletKnight - Sounds good.

SkyMaiden - I've handed in and gotten the next quest.

Fro-Chan - Fro has too.

StarGirl85 - Ok, are we ready for the next fight?

ScarletKnight - I'm good to go

Fro-Chan - Fro is ready.

SkyMaiden - Are we close to the fight?

StarGirl85 - No, it's at the end of a dungeon, which is also the way though to the main world. But that's all the encyoclopedia says.

ScarletKnight - Ok, lets repair our gear, sell up any junk we don't need, and stock up on useful supplies. This is also a good time to grab a drink or food irl.

SkyMaiden - Shall we meet here in five minutes then?

StarGirl85 - Sounds good, see you in five.

FroChan - Fro is hungry, Fro is going to get lunch, but Fro will only take five minutes.

ScarletKnight - Ok, meet back in Five.

"Rogue, what's for Lunch? Fro is Hungry."

"Here."

"Yey, Fish Salad! Thank you Rogue."

"Are you having fun?"

"Yes, we're going to do the dungeon next."

"Hmm."

"Good luck, that last boss is a bastard if your party isn't balanced." sting said.

"Rogue says Fro's party is balanced."

"Let's see, ok, if you click their names here, and click 'inspect' you get to have a proper look at the character, so a knight who looks to be going down the tanking route, a summoner, a healer and you. Yeah, that's a balanced party, though there's something about those three that is familiar, but I can't quite pin it, never mind, if it's important I'll figure it out."

Frosch was eating her lunch while sorting her equipment out and buying potions.

"Hmm, do you think Fro is ready?"

"That's as good as you'll get Frosch, just pray your party is as prepared as you are." Sting said before leaving the room.

Fro-Chan- I'm back

StarGirl85 - I'm ready

SkyMaiden - Ok, I've got all the MP potions I can carry.

ScarletKnight - All set, so lets go!

StarGirl85 - Wait, do we have to fight our way across the goblin fields to get to the dungeon entrance?

SkyMaiden - Yes, which is why I bought so many MP potions.

ScarletKnight - Hmm, should we do all the side quests first?

Fro-Chan - Fro thinks so, or we'll be too low level for the dungeon.

ScarletKnight - Good point, ah they're all crafting quests, we need to decide what to craft?

SkyMaiden - I'll go for the ones that let me make potions and buff items, so Cook and Alchemist.

StarGirl85 - Since I use Light Armour, I'll go Tailor and Jeweler to make all those useful accessories.

Fro-Chan - Fro uses leather armour, so Leather worker, and Woodworker?

ScareletKnight - That works, so I'll take Weaponcrafting and Metalworking

Fro-Chan - Fro's gear is better than crafted gear.

SkyMaiden - now it is, but as you level up, you'll replace that gear and if you level up your crafting, it'll help as you go along.

Stargirl85 - ok, so I have better gear now, great.

Stargirl85 - Whoever designed this robe must be a guy, I thought this game was supposed to be suitable for children.

ScarletKnight - I see what you mean, men are such perverts.

Fro-Chan - Fro thinks so too.

SkyMaiden - ehh, I can't wear this, the colours are hurting my eyes.

Fro-Chan - Fro has some dyes, here.

SkyMaiden - Are you sure?

Fro-Chan - Fro got sent 2 of each dye by someone.

SkyMaiden - Thanks, oh that's much better.

ScarletKnight - Ok, have we done crafting?

Fro-Chan - Fro finished crafting, but Fro needs to level up.

SkyMaiden - oh, so do I.

StarGirl85 - Ah, I've found the trainers, ok, now which summon do I want, hmm, Celestial Lion? or 'Bad Tempered Mermaid'? Who names these powers?

SkyMaiden - I don't know, but I've already got a good heal, so I'm going to take 'Shield of Luneria' I cast it, and everyone takes less damage for a while.

ScarletKnight - I like it, hmm, Shield Bash For me, it's the only one that allows a Shield to be equiped.

Fro-Chan - Fro picked 'Backstab', does lots of damage to someone who is not attacking Fro.

StarGirl85 - I know I'm going to regret this, but the mermaid is more powerful, by a long way.

SkyMaiden - Ok, are we ready?

Fro-Chan - Fro is ready? How far to the dungeon?

SkyMaiden - I'm not sure.

ScarletKnight - I see the entrance, use the Rest Shrine outside to make sure all your MP, HP and powers are at full. Then we go in.

*Your Party is resting*

StarGirl85 - We put buffs on when we get inside, so lets go!

*Your Party has entered: The Lair of The Goblin King*
