"C'mon then Veronica, I'll take you to the tavern the guild usually hangs out at," Katrianna led the way down a street through a throng of people, mostly NPCs with a few players who stood out with their weapons, armor, and marks on their hands. "How's your tail? You'll get used to keeping it out of the way like second nature soon enough. And it'll come in<em>handy</em>sometimes." Something smacked Veronica playfully on her lovely new round butt! It wasn't either of Katrianna's hands, she was keeping them to herself. Out of the corner of her eye Veronica saw her fellow tiefling's tail return flush against her back.<br/><br/>The reached a rickety establishment sandwiched between buildings on either side that proclaimed itself to be<em>The Lusty Kobold</em>in the fire-scorched signboard that hung precariously from a single hook above a narrow doorway. Beneath the name of the tavern in smaller letters was a warning that read "Age 21+ only". The burly half-orc bouncer who looked as though he weighed twice as much as Veronica and Katrianna combined gave them a token look-over and waved them inside. The interior of<em>The Lusty Kobold</em>looked like an underground dungeon, with walls that looked like dark unworked stone and and wooden columns that looked like mineshaft supports, lit by torches that gave off a flickering yellow glow but no heat or smoke. Players and NPCs alike crowded together at long tables and benches that ran down the length of the tavern and were served by busty wenches in barmaid dresses. At the far end was the bar, behind which a kobold barkeeper poured out beer from keg to tankard.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag94/Autocad-E/8bf41a04160b854a72245c5824fd08a1_zpsf6didsz5.jpg)</div>Katrianna seemed to know where she was going, heading towards a table in the corner occupied by a man in full plate armor and a woman with her back to them so that all Veronica could see was her blonde ponytail. Placing her hands over the woman's eyes from behind, Katrianna chirped, "Guess who!"<br/><br/>"Marge?" A familiar voice guessed. For all their character customization, they hadn't changed their voices, so Veronica recognized it as none other than Jessica's voice. Jessica got up and turned to face them. "And Lizzie! Looking good." In real life Jessica had a fit and athletic body, but here her avatar took things one step further, with muscles bulging under her leather armor, a bared midriff that showed off abs a bodybuilder would be envious of, and a gigantic bust that strained the laces of her top holding them to their limit.<br/><br/>"It's Katrianna and Veronica now," Katrianna added.<br/><br/>"Good to see you Veronica," Jessica embraced her in a bearhug that crushed the breath out of her. "I guess you'd call me Ashleigh around here. Oh, and this is Markius, he's a guild officer," she gestured to the man, who waved hello. "Say, Katrianna, we're forming a party for dragon hunting, want to bring your wizard along?"<br/><br/>"Sorry about that, but I'm going questing with Veronica."<br/><br/>"No problem, have fun you two! Wait, could we borrow your dragon-slaying arrows before you go?"<br/><br/>"Sure, I'll go pick them up from storage. Good luck with your party!" With that Katrianna led Veronica over to another wall of the tavern, where a small crowd gathered around a pair of large billboards. Gently pushing her way to the front, Veronica could make out one of them was headered "Parties" and the other one "Quests", and both sported an abundance of bills and notices nailed to them. "I'm going to get Ashleigh's arrows, you take a look and see if any of these quests catch your fancy. If you see one you like, just take the bill and bring it to the barkeep to reserve it. I'll be back in a few minutes, don't get in trouble while I'm gone!"<br/><br/>While Katrianna left to perform her errand, Veronica had time to pick out some quests that looked doable for a newcomer like herself...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Deep Cleansing</div><div class="spoiler_body">An infestation of vermin has interrupted operations in the Shanker Mines just outside of town.
