_{at a dungeon in Ocren}

Elian nodded along to Rath's tactical summary. "I think you hit all the bases," she said in reply to his question. "The only thing I can think to add is that I have a range of about 60 feet for most of my healing spells. If you want to get healed, you damn well better be in range -- and where I can see you!" She smiled to counter the bite of her statement.

The question of which door to take was an interesting one, but when the ranger suggested splitting up Elian immediately made an X with her fans. "Bzzt, wrong answer! You have one healer and one tank. Splitting up would be unwise. We're a party not a raid group. We don't have the support for multiple teams. Nice and steady will get us through in one piece.

"Personally, I think we should start with the doors on this floor first -- maybe the living quarters first, like Goibniu suggested, then the garden? Once we've cleared the bottom floor then we'll work our way up. It won't do to have enemies flanking us from behind."

Fixeon Municipal Recycling Plant

Jareth had thought they were all going inside, but Lab Rat asked him to stay outside. So he fell back to the earthworks, and worked on killing more terrazards. And there were plenty to kill, perhaps too many. He opened another sinkhole beneath a particularly dense cluster of 'zards, quickly closing it again, then went back to slinging pebbles. It seemed like there were fewer coming from the plant, which was a good thing. Maybe the fight was close to over.

A roar sounded from inside the plant, and then a few moments later the near wall was knocked down by...some sort of giant ape person. The terrazards also renewed their assault, so Jareth got back to work killing them. Crane was busy with the ape-man, so that left him and Mire.

Only then Mire vanished into the ground, leaving Jareth to fight the terrazards alone, as the plant burst into flames. Things were not looking good. "Blur! I could really use a hand here. There's too many terrazards for me to handle alone!" he called through the comm link, as he was forced backwards.

@AwesomeZero5 Elian is rank B, but more than halfway to leveling to A. ^.^

_{at a guild hall in Shebar}

Elian quickly joined the group chat. She couldn't hide a grin at Goibniu's efforts to stay in character. He played gruff, but he was definitely eager. "Ooh, you squishy," she said, once she saw his rank and level. "I can help a little with that -- got a nice buff that grants HP based on my level, but we probably shouldn't go above rank C for questing."

When Rathello turned up, Elian brightened. It was always good to have friends along. "Hey, you big blue bastard! How the hell are ya?!" she said. "I can vouch for this guy, he's a good tank. Knows what he's doing, and stays where I can heal him," she added for Goibniu's benefit.

Claudia was an interesting one. She seemed to be keeping in character too. "Ocren is fine by me. I go where the wind takes me, so I'm up for just about anything," Elian said. "We should keep in mind that Goibniu is super squishy, though. A stiff wind will kill him right now. We need somewhere he won't die to a stray hit. I can't work miracles."

Two others asked to join their party, a ranger and a death knight. "I'm good with taking both along. Six is a good party size," she said in group chat.

It was by boat to Mogora, then on horseback to the temple. Elian chatted cheerfully with her fellow partymates along the way, eager to get to know them better. She also hit Goibniu (and the rest of the party) with a preemptive buff to HP. "Just so you don't keel over and die," she told the sphynx with a grin. "It lasts a couple hours, so I'll recast it once we get closer to the temple."

When they reached their destination, Elian tied her horse to a tree, and marked the location for teleport in case of death. Not that she expected to die -- this should be smooth sailing for their current party composition! But it was an ingrained habit, so she did it.

"Alright, gather round. Let's get our long-lasting buffs up, and then head in!"

@Eviledd1984 description is good. E, D, or even possibly C rank would work -- Elian can boost hp totals, so Goibniu won't die immediately at least. And okay, we'll take them with. ^.^

@Eviledd1984 Was your post deciding which dungeon we'd go to, and adding more characters to the group, or intended to be a background piece? Because with Goibniu at rank F, we probably shouldn't be tackling an A rank dungeon.

_{at a guild hall in Shebar}

Elian glanced again at the area chat. Oh hey, look at that. Some Goibniu_the_Waylander was looking for a healer and a tank. She grinned, downed the rest of her cider, and got to her feet, sweeping her fans off the table and into her hand as she did. She pinged Goibniu in the area chat with a reply:

Elian Zefra: Healer here. I'd love to go for a small-group dungeon. Any level up to A. I'm at the main guild hall. Come find me!

She was a B-rank adventurer, closing in on A rank, but helping people with lower levels was fine by her. Not every run needed to be a challenge. She didn't have long to wait, either. A voice saying the exact same thing as the post caught her ear. The source was sphynx -- a purchased skin for centaurs. Not many players went for centaurs, but there were some. Elian wondered how it would feel to have an extra pair of legs and how the VR interface handled the sensations just about every time she saw one.

"Oi! Goibniu, yeah?" she called, waving one hand to attract his attention. "I'm Elian. Let's find a tank and get rolling, shall we?"

_{at a guild hall in Shebar}

Elian sat at a table in Shebar's main guild hall, listening to the chatter around her with half a pointed ear. Most of the rest of her attention was firmly on those clustered around the notice board, though she spared a glance at the area chat every now and again. As a healer and support caster, she rarely lacked for people wanting to group up. It was just a matter of finding a good group. Her fans lay folded on the table in front of her, next to the mug of mulled cider she was nursing.

The most interesting recent rumor was about a human jester PvPing for no reason, kill-stealing bosses, and getting up to other poor-sport tricks. Word was, the admins couldn't trace the account, and so couldn't ban it.

Definitely someone to watch out for, Elian thought to herself. Every game had its trolls, and it seemed Tales of Endoroth was no exception.

Fortunately the community of ToE was, for the most part, a friendly one. She'd been playing since near the beginning and major issues like this were by no means common. The admins were attentive, interacting with the community and receptive to feedback. The game had become wildly popular, and had players all over the globe. Unfortunately, the larger the player base, the more likely it was that trolls would crop up.

Hopefully she wouldn't have to deal with this particular one.

@Eviledd1984 nah, we don't need to have been in that raid. Word of mouth will spread the news pretty fast. It's a good mystery, that's for sure. <3
