Party Notice
You have joined the party Silence of the Bold.
Current Members: (L) Shanna Racso

You hear a quiet ding, and your user interfaces open automatically. One of the grayed out buttons glows and becomes selectable. It is labeled "Party." As far as you can tell, the tab shows current party members and has an option to share active quests.

The following quest is shared automatically.

New Quest Obtained Rampant Rodent Reproduction!
Rabbits have been reproducing in uncontrollable numbers and threaten to devastate the local ecology. You have tracked the problem back to its source: A Rabbit Dungon! Destroy all the Rabbit Dungeons in the area Progress: 2/5 This is a Realm Quest.

[Lentrax]

Like the name? I do, and I thought it was such an awesome name that I couldn't just let it die.

[Aracor]

I do, yes! Okay. As of right now, I have about four shots. And I'm suspecting that rabbits have the same regular AC as touch AC, so I'm going to be better off trying to find some ranged weapons.

I'll look around and try to find something I can use as a weapon. Rocks? Even improvised is better than nothing for now. Since this is video game logic, I'm guessing I can't actually gut a rabbit for its sinew and skin and use it to actually make a real sling.

[Lentrax]

Not so sure about the rocks, but we can certainly see what we can find for you.

[Rizban]

The dungeon is a fairly typical MMO dungeon. The room is empty of anything except terrain and monsters. Well, this room doesn't actually have any monsters in it at the moment...

If you want to collect items or equipment that isn't from a mob drop, you'll have to do so outside of the dungeon.

[Aracor]

Okay...Give me a few minutes to sneak out and try to find something to use as a weapon outside of the dungeon, then I'll gladly come back in and assist.

If you want to come out and help scrounge, that's cool. If not, I'll be right back. Like I said: Right now I have four shots with magic spells. I also have a Wall of Smoke that can cover a retreat if things go...bad.

Racso will walk back out of the dungeon and look around again. He's looking for fist-sized (for him) rocks or something that he'll be able to use. Or clubs. Clubs actually count as thrown weapons, and they're actually free in the equipment list, so it should be just a question of finding a few branches and breaking them off at the right length.

[Rizban]

He immediately finds a rock and picks it up, only to have it crumble to dust. Oh. Dirt clod. You spend a few minutes making a more careful search and come up with (1d3+1)[3] small rocks suitable for throwing.

[Lentrax]

I’ll come along. I think it will reset the room, but that just means a couple more for you to gain XP from.

Shanna goes outside and helps look for a tree to break branches off of.

[Aracor]

Cool! 3 decent rocks. That's not bad. With skirmish, they get an extra 1d6 damage, so should be enough to sting the heck out of a bunny rabbit, even a big one.

A club or two would still be good - if for no other reason than I can try to keep myself available for an attack of opportunity if (when) they try to jump me.

And then I'll be ready to start in on this "hare-brained scheme"!

[Lentrax]

Well, I don’t think we’ll find anything around here. There’s probably a couple of trees closer to the village though.

[Aracor]

Well, I don’t think we’ll find anything around here. There’s probably a couple of trees closer to the village though.

All right. If we can't find anything here, I'll just go with the rocks for now. Hopefully we can find another a weapon for me inside.

On the one hand, I would like to get some extra equipment. But on the other hand, Sacred Water buff is important and I want to take advantage of it as long as I can.

In fairness, that means I'm going to be REALLY hesitant to use my spells. Especially the 1st level ones. But yeah - let's do it.

[Lentrax]

Alright then. Stay with and behind me, I will do what I can to keep you from getting swarmed.

Shanna looks down at the halfling.

Ready to head inside?

[Aracor]

Let's DO it!

He sounds excited enough that his already high pitched voice squeaks like an adolescent.

[Lentrax]

Alright then. Onward, to death or glory. Hopefully the latter, and not the former.

Shanna takes the lead into the dungeon.

[Rizban]

You have entered a Transient Dungeon!
These dungeons spawn randomly throughout the Realm and are completed when the Dungeon Boss is defeated. Once completed, a Transient Dungeon will cease to exist, and all Players and NPCs not spawned by the dungeon will be automatically transported back to the dungeon entrance. Uncollected items and resources will be permanently lost.

You find that (1d3)[2] rabbits have respawned in the room.

Initiative is Shanna, Rabbits, Rasco.

[Lentrax]

Only two in here. I'll take one, and leave the other for you.

A: (1d20+4)[10] D: (1d6+1)[6]

[Aracor]

Presuming that one or both of the bunnies is jumping Shanna because she's jumping in and trying to smash one, Racso will move up nearby and throw a rock at the nearest bunny.

Spoiler: Actions

Move at least 10 feet to activate skirmish.
Attack: (1d20+3)[16]
Damage: (1d3)[3] + (1d6)[2]

[Rizban]

Shanna moves to attack one of the rabbits, but it avoids her attack.

The two attack her, provoking attacks of opportunity as they enter her space.
(1d20+4)[10] - [1] (provokes)
(1d20+4)[18] - [1] (provokes)

Shanna takes 1 damage from the rabbit's attack!

Racso darts into the room and throws a stone, but just misses because of throwing into melee.

[Lentrax]

Opportunity Attack:

(1d20+4)[20], Damage: (1d6+1)[2]

[Rizban]

Shanna kills the first rabbit that attempts to bite her. It's her turn.

[Lentrax]

Shanna opts to fight defensively. The Halfling needs some experience, and while she thinks the dungeon splits experience evenly, she isn't sure and doesn't want to risk her new companion not getting anything.

You can do it! Hit the rabbit!

[Aracor]

Racso moves again, and then flings his second rock at the rabbit!

Spoiler: Actions

Show

Move 10 feet, keeping the rabbit in point blank range.
Attack: (1d20-1)[14]
Damage: (1d3-1)[1] plus (1d6)[6]

[Rizban]

Shanna gains a +4 dodge bonus to AC for Total Defense.

The rabbit attacks her!
(1d20+4)[17] - [1] (provokes)

Then Racso tosses his rock, killing the rabbit!

[Lentrax]

Right. Well. That is two rabbits. Ready to go for more?

Shanna walks over and picks up one of the rocks, tossing it back to the halfling.

[Rizban]

Critical hit! The halfling dies! You earn the Player Killer title! You gain the Murderer status! Warning: Entering a town will summon level 20 Town Guards to execute you!

Well, its been fun everyone!

[Aracor]

Cool! Are they lootable?

Also, yay achievements! Kill an enemy and equip a weapon.

Last point: It gave us both credit for both kills. Don't worry about saving kills for me (although it's better if I'm throwing rocks when you're NOT in melee, that penalty is harsh without Precise Shot). Wipe 'em out as fast as possible to save on damage to us. I'm assuming you have quite a bit more than my four hit points, but better not to waste them.

Racso will reach down and poke at one of the rabbits, trying to figure out if they have anything on them.

Then he'll grab both of his rocks again, one in each hand.

Spoiler

Is there any way to inspect Shanna? Like see what kind of equipment she has equipped?

[Rizban]

When Racso pokes the rabbit, the two immediately disperse into motes of light that are reabsorbed into the dungeon. He soon finds that (1d2)[2] bronze coins have been left behind.

Shanna carries a wooden shield and club but still wears the blue "starter robe" that's disturbingly similar to a hospital gown. She also sports a very nice pair of boots, gloves, and bracers, all of which are clearly made of leather and trimmed with fur accents that perfectly match the rabbits Racso just helped kill.

Racso, meanwhile, wears only the "starter robe" and carries a few small rocks... They are very nice rocks though. In fact, they'd probably make good pets.

[Aracor]

Woot, woot, a tiny piece of loot!

The bashers probably have better stuff. Let's go find one!

He walks to the doorway to peek into the next room.

[Rizban]

The passage in the far wall has been dug out, similar to the entrance behind you, mounds of dirt piled up near the doorway.

Within the next room are (1d2)[2] larger rabbits, the size of an average dog. They probably have 2 or 3 pounds on Racso.
There are also (1d3+2)[3] smaller rabbits.

Shanna clearly recognizes them as the usual inhabitants of this room.

The rabbits' only reaction to your presence is to stare at you with beady eyes, clearing waiting for... something.
