The blue slime that the loudmouthed rogue, bubbly cleric, and smug warrior faced off against was a very long-winded fight. While the rogue of course had the lead in damage, this was mostly due to the warrior's constant commitment to holding the slime's attention. The cleric would come in somewhere towards the middle of the battle, swiftly casting a smite to chunk the poor thing's health a fair bit and giving the warrior a break. But there was of course shortcomings, the rogue attempted to flee from combat the first time and failed magnificently - falling and tumbling away in good measure before regaining his energy to reenter the battle once again. The warrior would also have her share of rough patches as while she did land the first few Shield Bashes, her later attempts would be gracefully evaded by the slime as he mocked her attempts to stun it. The cleric was steadfast however, standing her ground and literally exhausting herself to her character's limit to get every bit of damage possible on the over-leveled slime they faced. But we should not pull any credit away from the tank, as she literally towards the tail of the encounter willingly faced both of her party member's damage assaults for several attacks. She would only cease this action as her stamina reached it's limit, and she coordinated with her party to break from combat to regain stamina at a final attempt to stun the slime. The rogue, now reinvigorated would release his full combo on the slime finally getting it down to its final bits of health - though it was the exhausted cleric that would get the final blow on our poor slime boy. All the while this action unfolded, two new party members joined the party - the warrior party leader coordinating to move to their location after they looted the slime. The results?

Meanwhile, just outside of town was an unassuming green slime. And while he was on his slow stroll of grass consumption, he would suddenly be assailed by a terrible person with little understanding for the game. Initiating combat with the small amorphous creature was reacted with that of it defensively bouncing away from the blunt force of wood lashing upon its side with no finesse, the slime's vision teared up and the surface of it's gelatinous body shook violently in fear for a brief moment. But then he stood his ground, an angry expression developing upon it's face as the slime's body shrunk and expanded quickly as it leapt towards the freshly created character offensively.

The fight was on!

Devon Doralt is the hardest, meanest crew member in his college. He's powered through forty-five regattas. He's hazed over 100 freshmen. He's even pranked the dean by filling her car with shaving cream and saran wrapping the entire thing three times. So what does he do in his free time? Well, recently, a member of the crew disappeared for 3 whole days. Devon burst into his room and found his crewmate engrossed in some sort of video game. Not to be outdone by the WEAK crewmember, he "borrowed" the set and has just begun sinking his time into the very first VRMMO craze: Thalam Online.

Though she's started with MMORPGs, and she still enjoys the concept of them, they've usually proven to turn out into a boring button-mash and grind-fest sooner or later, so she mostly turned to single-player games. As long as it's somewhat immersive, mentally engaging, and has at least the bare-bones of an aesthetic appeal, she honestly doesn't mind much what it is she's playing. Thalam Online is a game she has been looking forward to starting not only because it's popular and cheap, but because it seems like it could hope to approach that "perfect MMORPG" ideal she has been seeking.

@SilverPaw

Vesper is accepted, go on and move them over. You can do an introductory post at your leisure

✲ Thalam Online ✲

@SilverPaw Most of these questions have been answered in the discord but I’ll bust it out with some bullet points.
• Stealth and Invisibility are separate mechanics and do not overlap. Stealth is more of a reduced detection buff, invisibility is you’re straight up invis. There are skills that benefit from being in stealth. There aren’t any that benefit from invis.

• There’s a thief class, again been discussed in the discord. And if you check the google doc there should be trade skills and professions on there now.

@RC3 I recommend you join the discord.

Flight drains stamina at the same rate as sprinting.

The racial invisibility could technically be maintained for an entire night cycle, but it is broken with combat and has a really hefty cooldown.

Thalam is live!

As the players finally transitioned from the atmospheric character select screen with the model of their character against panning camera around Thalam - a blinding white light would engulf their vision. And then, wind, peaceful, the scent of sea water and natural flora carried behind it. Most games even on the ARI didn’t really imitate senses other than hearing, vision, and to a degree touch. But this was literally a sharp and sensational experience, to those with dulled senses it could even been taken as better than the real thing!

The image of their environment would take shape. A beachside that stretched long down coast of wherever they had been spawned into in this place. But it wouldn’t be long till the answer to that question was answered, as text would seemingly introduce the location they stood within in a cinematic way - fading a cursive artfully written text right into their sights.

B e l l v i e w

The players who were most active in the pre-launch chat would notice a small letter symbol near the top right of the screen just beneath their stamina bar. Selecting the button opened the mail menu which held a message that said [Thank You For Making Thalam Better!] and within it was a cloak item [Celebration Cape] which had no level requirement and could immediately be equipped. Everyone though, would see an exclamation mark at the very top center of their HUD that blinked a dull yellow glow. Selecting this exclamation mark would drop down a small dark gray menu that read atop [Quest Log] and within it would be their most immediate quest.

Welcome to Thalam

There would be no slimes in this general vicinity as the beach was patrolled by guards hourly to maintain its clean and beautiful appearance, it kept the town’s value high for player housing. But slimes were a very common enemy type in this sort of game, especially at low levels, so finding them wouldn’t be too hard - right? The beach itself was southeast of the town, and it stripped down nearly all the way to the next zone over that was claimed by the South. But it was barren, devoid of life other than the fish that would bravely swim to the shallows in curiosity of all the new players. Directly north of the players was the open fields of the zone, the screams of other players were heard nearby so that might be a good direction to check out. The town was in visible distance, though would probably be a walk of roughly ten to fifteen minutes game-time getting there. If they moved towards the open fields of the zone the targets of that quest text would come into view, all ranging rather close to their level. But all the while, there were hundreds if not thousands of players whom had received the exact same notification starting to combat the sticky amorphous creatures before them.

Bob Helmer didn't play too many games growing up, it wasn't so to him not having the money though. He just always ended up doing sports or playing with something physical. He first tried a game at his friend's house. John was a game fanatic, he always had the nearest games and they were almost always finished within the week. John introduced Bob to a game called street fighter. It was at that moment Bob realised here didn't like games. He didn't feel immersed in them. And although John tried dozens of games none of them ever connected with Bob. Years later Bob is working making furniture. Recently he was set to get a promotion to designer. However there ended up being an issue with Bob credentials so last minute they decided not to go through with it. So Bob did what seemed to be a regular thing nowadays for him, go to the bar and drink himself under the table. Luckily John was there with him to keep him company. They drunk all-night until there since couldn't handle it. At the end they for some reason ended up buying Thalmor Online. And this started Bob to want to play it. I mean he bought the console and the game and he was going to get his money's worth. It may have also led to a name he is going to question in the morning.
