despite the secret curiosity of exactly how much fun that might be.<br/><br/>Kendra shrugged slightly and swallowing another bite of food corrected,<strong> "I mean, when you're defeated you lose some time to the mobs.  But the option to hard release usually becomes active after a little while.  Longest I was ever forced to wait, in the main game that is, was about an hour.  But you make the choice if you release back to bind or not.  Since you lose half of your score, if you think there are other players nearby that might come and rescue you, it might be worth waiting.  But as I said, in this tournament, with so many fewer players than the normal game, I thought the odds of someone coming along were remote.  Figured I could be stuck there for days if I didn't choose to release after being gang raped for a while."</strong>Kendra's cheeks reddened slightly as she mentioned the gang rape, causing Tialyn to wonder if maybe she hadn't been enjoying it somewhat.<br/><br/>She pointed her finger at Tialyn and said,<strong>"Actually, that reminds me, if you didn't do the starter quests, if you didn't know about the fuck buff that you can get at the inn..." </strong>She made a face and quickly added,<strong>"Which isn't worth it unless you have a very specific strategy for exp gain in my opinion, just takes too much time.  But if you didn't know about that, you've probably never been to your class trainer.  I see that you've already unlocked an advanced class.  It seems like it's really early in the game for a shadow knight, but now you'll have to visit shadow knight trainers to level up.  They aren't in every city, but the major neutral ones like Freeport, Qeynos, and Erudin are your best bets.  The evil cities will all have shadowknight trainers as well, but as an elf, you would normally be kill on sight there.  I say normally because there's already so many things I've found in the game that are different from the game I know that I wouldn't bet on anything for sure.  But if you get to a shadow knight class trainer, you can trade your score for the ability to level your character.  At the end of the game levels will count towards your score, but not as much as the raw score of course, but you can't lose levels.  So it's a good way to sort of 'bank' your experience in a way.  Plus, you know, it helps you get stronger of course."</strong>She swallowed nervously and grimaced,<strong>"I've only been able to level up once so far.  I would have made level three if I'd defeated those orcs."</strong><br/><br/>She looked slightly disheartened and took a mug of ale as Tialyn described the crown.<strong>"Sounds like the tomb of Amun'Narmer.  That's about midway between us.  It's at the center of the island in the oasis of Marr, dead center in the middle of the Desert of Ro.  There's some wandering orc patrols, skeletons, bandits, desert spiders, scorpions, and the occasional wandering mummy in between each of us and the oasis.  But if you head north from swamphome you should be able to find the oasis fairly easily, just look for the trees in the middle of the desert.  In the normal game that's a mid level dungeon, not something we'd take on at level two, but... again, everything is different here, and I've already found that some things are easier, others harder, so, I don't know..."</strong><br/><br/>She paused and considered it for a moment before nodding her head,<strong> "Yeah, ok, sounds good.  Seventy percent loot in my favor is just too good to pass up.  Even if we die, a few good dungeon upgrades would be worth it.  I could make it there in about 6 hours, well before noon.  Might take you a little bit longer as it's a bit further north from swamphome, but not too much longer as long as you don't get tied up fighting too many random monsters, or nothing else happens.  How about I get there, and I'll wait in the area till sunrise the next day.  I can hunt random monsters in the area for that long.  If you don't show up by sunrise tomorrow I'll assume you got held up.  You can leave a note for me on the notice board."</strong>She nodded her head towards the wall on the side of the tavern.<br/><br/>She stuck her hand out for Tialyn to shake,<strong>"Just tell me your name and I'll see you in a few hours then partner."</strong><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header"

class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatright"><div class="floatright"><div align="center"><em>(https://i.imgur.com/EiCJ46W.jpg)<br/>Starter</em></div></div><br/><br/>Tialyn's Starter Outfit consists of a white leather coat that reaches from shoulders to hips, with a high neck and full sleeves.  On her left side the coat ends at the top of the hip but slants downwards to the right to just barely cover her sex and then drop off to a 1/8th tail on the left side.  It barely closes in the front protecting her modesty in only the most minimal of fashion, and leaves most of her belly and chest exposed.  Lack of any undergarments with this coat mean that it is very easy to expose herself, either voluntarily or not.  Her weapon with her starter outfit is an elven blade known as a 'Da' which is a longsword with a long handle that lets it function as a spear or short polearm and can be wielded one handed or two handed.</div></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div

align="center"><em>(https://i.imgur.com/6gdNjsW.jpg)<br/>Shadow Knight</em></div></div><br/><br/>Tialyn's Shadow Knight Quest Outfit composes primarily of black iron plate armor and black leather holding the armor in place.  Asymmetrical black iron gauntlets and greaves constitute the majority of the armor.  The metal of both are threaded through with golden symbols of death, and the greaves, shaped like grasping fingers coiling around her legs, ending in arched stiletto heels.  Her nethers are covered by skin tight black leather garments that might be described as aggressively small boy shorts, and her top matches with a classic bikini style top.  A black half cloak cascades down the back offering some sense of modesty from behind at least.  This outfit came with a weapon, a curved cleaving sword contained a pommel adorned with a grinning skull whose eyes glowed with a dim purple light.  The sword was perfectly balanced for her form and was meant to be used as a slashing weapon.</div></div></div></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Advantages</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Advantages:</strong><br/>i) Intuition - Our heroine might not be book-smart, but she has a knack for figuring things out. ("This is the end that shoots bullets, right?") Beginners sometimes get lucky, after all...And sometimes, on the virtual battlefield, a good guess is better than all the knowledge in the world! <br/>ii) Attractive - No two ways about it...Our heroine's *hot*. She's not just a babe virtually, she's hot IRL too...Which makes her very popular indeed, on both fronts. (The fans seem to love it, and who can blame them?)<br/>iii) Minor Celebrity - Streamer - Callie already has built a decent following on her stream.nn page.  She's going to have a fan base that's going to cheer her on and try to help her in game as supporters instead of going in as an unknown.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Flaws</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Flaws:</strong><br/>i) Vain - It's hard to be a streamer without being just a *bit* of an attention whore. And our girl has it *bad*. She just loves the adulation of her fans...And she's oh-so-willing to do what it takes to keep them interesting. (This isn't just showing off - She's more likely to take risks, even when they'd work against her.)<br/>ii) Trouble Magnet - It happens. If there's a one-in-a-million chance that something could go wrong...It *will*, and she'll probably be right at the heart of it. Things just keep getting drawn to her, one way or another. <br/>iii) Livestreaming - The world is watching her, not just in game, but also her real life as she goes through this lewd quest.  Any failures to her heat rating are going to more severe, as people are seeing that failure on two fronts. </div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Fetishes</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Fetishes:</strong><br/>i) The Gross / Ugly<br/>ii) The Undead<br/>iii) Goblinoids</div></div></div></div>
