				Seras was having the time of her life exploring the Beginners City and looking through the weapons shops, she was torn at first between a longsword and a shield combo and her favorite weapon the katana, in the end the katana won out and she spent all her starting money on the best one she could find and equipped it as she walked out of the city, it was time to test out this new fighting engine. <br><br>after about three hours of grinding on the monsters outside the city Seras had already gotten a god handle on fighting and dodging when the sound of a giant bell rang through the air and force teleported her to the starting square in Beginners City. (if you don't know what happens here then go watch the show there's no way I can type all that out!!)<br><br>once the force field that kept them from leaving Starting Square Seras looked around at the other players, most looked shocked and filled with despair <br>but there was one young girl that seemed almost happy so Seras quickly went to her and said <strong>"since we cant leave the game lets party up and hunt down some monsters, what to you say?"</strong> her words where followed by a party invitation as she looked around for other who looked strong willed enough to make it through all of this. she spotted a couple other but wanted to make sure Alexis would join her first, when sending the invite it showed the young girls name

				Kenjirou spent a good amount of his morning walking casually through the town of beginnings deciding what he wanted to do with himself in game. He came across several beautiful young ladies and flirted with them but was quickly shot down so he left them be. He also bought some light armor and a two handed axe after setting the skills in place. He then went out into the field and began to practice fighting in the game. It took most of the afternoon but he got the hang of it.<br><br>When the announcement was made by Kayaba that they were stuck he heaved a sigh and remarked "well this isn't something I expected" he was most definitely scared but he didn't show it after all that wasn't how Kenjirou did things. He was actually stretching himself out a bit deciding what it was he was going to do. He noticed a rather attractive young woman stare at him for a moment before she turned to another cute girl. "well hello ladies" he mused to himself with a grin as he began to think about what he'd say before he approached them.

				Alexis had found herself utterly overwhelmed with how amazing SAO was, she was so eager to start playing that she even pulled a sick day from school to make sure she was able to get the maximum play-time. She didn't know what number she was to first log in, nor did she care, she was just too stoked to be playing the game. She didn't spend much time in the town of begginings, instead she was straight out of the gate fighting monsters. Even if she did die a couple of times initially she was quick to respawn and be straight out again. It didn't take her long to get accustom to the battle system.<br><br>After a short time, Alexis found a rare looking monster, with nobody else around she decided this would be her best chance to get an edge on the playerbase. bringing her knives out, but before she was able to land the finishing blow she got caught in a light and teleported back to the town. "Aww man I almost had it!" She growled angrily, but the only thing she noticed was the confusion on those around her.<br><br>After Kayaba's announcement Alexis couldnt withold her jubilation this was so exciting, it was as if her dream came true. Even if she was no longer the older attractive ninja girl she designed herself to be, instead the prissy teen she was in reality, she would make do, she would beat the game and be a hero. It was like one of the stories in her Manga's. Before she could make her escape she spotted someone coming towards her, "Oh yeah sure I geuss, there was a rare monster I found before we got here, I'm gonna go kill it, your welcome to come along though!" She smiled, accepting the party invitation. "Name is Alexis, or Miki, but I prefer Alexis, I don't mind though" She giggled, after a few moments she brought up her map "The monster was around this area, if were quick it should still be there"

				Seras couldn't help but smile at Alexis's enthusiasm, but by that joy Seras also knew that this girl didnt fully grasp that she could die for real now and that was not something that Seras was going to let happen <strong>"I'm Seras"</strong> looking around she paused when she saw a young and atractive guy heading towords them, another person with a set of steel balls <br><br><strong>"if its a rare monster lets get another person to help us kill it, it looks like a volenteer just showed up, can you put a waypoint on the spot so it can be seen by the party?"</strong> Seras asked before she waved her hand and sent the party invite to the man with the message <span class="bbc_u"><strong><em>'you seem like you have a level head we are going monster hunting, you in?'</em></strong></span>

				Kenjirou blinked as he got the message and grinned. He accepted the party invitation as he joined the two ladies. "Of course I'm in...good experience and the company of two very lovely young ladies I'd have to be foolish to refuse" he was grinning as he said this. He pulled the two handed axe off of his back and slung it lazily over his shoulder "lead the way o lovely maidens" he proclaimed cheerfully.<br>&nbsp;

				When Hiroko had agreed to play Sword Art Online with a cute <em>kohai</em> from her university's archery club, she never could have imagined the nightmare she was getting herself into.&nbsp; She'd been pretty impressed by the beta version of the game that the younger girl had insisted she try, and despite her general lack of experience with such games she's been quite eager to step back into that fantastic fantasy world.&nbsp; When her <em>kohai</em> had called to say she was running a little late and that Hiroko should log in ahead of her Hiroko had done so without hesitation, engrossing herself in creating a character, selecting equipment, and practicing how to use a bow in the virtual world.<br><br>The former high school archery champion had been a little perturbed when she realized she couldn't log out, but had figured it was a minor annoyance that would soon be resolved.&nbsp; But then had come Kayaba and his announcement, followed by the big reveal with the mirrors.&nbsp; Hiroko had been shocked when the face of the cute blonde girl she was playing was replaced by an image of her own face, accurate even to the beauty mark that was located under the left side of her mouth.<br><br>After that she'd searched desperately for her missing <em>kohai</em>.&nbsp; According to Japanese tradition, it was her duty as a <em>sempai</em> to guide and help out the younger girl, but right then it was Hiroko who needed help and guidance as she knew next to nothing about MMOs.&nbsp; She knew she should be hoping that the reason she couldn't find her <em>kohai</em> was because the younger girl had failed to log in before news of what was happening broke, but she secretly hoped that the younger girl <em>was</em> logged in, because the idea of facing the nightmare alone scared her.<br><br>Eventually, after days of searching, Hiroko gave up on finding her <em>kohai</em>.&nbsp; She was going to have to face the nightmare alone.&nbsp; Before leaving the town of beginnings however she acquired one companion she felt she could trust: a Japanese style bow called a <em>yumi</em>. With a strung height of over two meters, the giant bow was taller than its wielder and rather unwieldly, but to a girl who had been practicing Japanese style archery for years it seemed comfortingly familiar.<br><br>With bow in hand, the archer girl who went by the screen name "Robin" made her way out of the Town of Beginnings and into the dangerous world beyond.

				"Oh sure, let me just get on that" She giggled nervously as she began to frantically look through the menus on how to put a waypoint on the map, it took her a few moments to find it but she managed to before Seras and the new guy returned to look at her. So she tried to play it off as nothing happened. "Ok so shall we head off then?" She smiled energetically before showing the map again for the location of the beast. "It shouldn't take us too long to get there though" The creature looked to be in a region with stronger monsters than the starting area, something which might hint at Alexis's level. "I'm Alexis by the way" She chimed in, forgetting to introduce herself.

				The young man chuckled idly "I'm Kenjirou but you lovely ladies may call me Kenji for short." then grinned at Alexis "Rather upbeat sort of girl for a ninja no?" he asked her teasingly. He was being friendly and meant no harm with his little joke. He had taken note of the area and wondered if her level were that high or if she was just rushing in for good EXP. It didn't matter either way since he'd be alright. No he hadn't rushed into level grinding but he'd certainly done enough to be able to handle mobs that were at least four or five levels higher than him as long as he had back up and watched his hp bar.

				&nbsp;Annelotte moved about the world killing monsters and in general enjoying her dream RPG, even if it was an MMO. With her sword in hand she easyly moved along the paths towards her destination. There was a small structure on her map indicating there might be Kobald bandits and Kobald bandits ment fat loot. Or baring fat loot at least gold. After all everyone could always use more gold right? <br><br>&nbsp;She managed to get through the bandit hideout but it had been grueling to say the least indeed. She smiled as she checked her invntory and equiped her new neckpiece. It was a small benifit but in every RPG you gotta start small and work your way up the food chain. As she was headed back to the city to sell the excess she had gotton she found herself suddenly teleported to the main city. She looked up as the claoked figure appeared in the sky. She figured this was for the first time players event. <br><br>&nbsp;Oh boy had she been right about that one. It was one hell of an event to say the least. Suddenly Annelotte's confidence had begun to evaporate. She looked down at the mirror itself reflecting her trueself. She could now see the lavender hair of her counter-culture shining through. There was one thing that was weighing heavily on her mind though. Suddenly everything was quite real. She could actually DIE! Like for real. No second chances, just like life. She felt herself shaking all over. Her body had become paralyzed from the fear of her sudden situation. How had her dream turned into such a nightmare!

				Despite the risk of death, Robin found she was much happier once she got out of the Town of Beginnings.&nbsp; After spending days fruitlessly searching the town and hoping for outside help, taking her destiny into her own hands was strangely liberating.&nbsp; Compared to wandering endlessly through grey streets, getting out and exploring the green forests, sunlit fields, and other fantastic scenery that Aincrad offered had a definite appeal.<br><br>A few days after she had made the decision to strike out on her own, Robin found herself passing by a lake.&nbsp; The large open stretch of country she was traveling through seemed to be largely devoid of both monsters and other players, and as she walked along a path near the shore her idle mind began to wonder what the water was like.&nbsp; Deciding it wouldn't hurt to take a little time to experiment, she wandered down to the waters edge and used the inventory menu to remove her footwear, after which she cautiously dipped her toes into the shallows and waded in.&nbsp; The water was cool, but pleasant, and she soon found herself thinking that it might be nice to take a swim.&nbsp; She knew she really ought to be looking for enemies so she could level up and start clearing floors, but with a hundred floors to clear it would probably take months if not <em>years</em> to finish the game -so she might as well enjoy herself a little here and there.<br><br>Glancing around to make sure that no other players were in sight, Robin opened her inventory menu again and used it to remove all her weapons and clothing -even the strip of white cloth she used to tie her hair into a ponytail.&nbsp; She thought about keeping her underwear on, but wet undergarments were unpleasant and besides, it wasn't like there was anyone else around to see her, so she removed them.<br><br>Wading deeper into the water, Robin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and plunged below the surface.&nbsp; Bringing her knees to her rather impressive chest, she opened her eyes and surveyed her surroundings.&nbsp; The lake water was quiet clear, and she could see rocks and small underwater plants on the bottom.&nbsp; Smiling, she surfaced for a moment to take a breath, then dived back under water and began to swim farther out from shore.&nbsp; She was a strong swimmer -despite her quiet nature she'd been reasonably atheletic back in the real world.<br><br>After swimming around for perhaps a quarter of an hour, Robin decided it was time to get back to business and started to make her way back towards the lake shore.&nbsp; As she did so she spotted a large object swimming in the water nearby.&nbsp; It looked like some kind of underwater lizard -a very large one, with very large teeth.&nbsp; And it was coming towards her. <br><br>Realizing immediately that the creature must be some kind of monster, Robin frantically began to swim towards the shore.&nbsp; Reaching the shallows, she scrambled to her feet and ran towards the shoreline.&nbsp; She tripped once, glanced back, saw the huge lizard scrambling through the shallows behind her, and was back on her feet, running for her life.&nbsp; Had she had her bow and been at a safe distance she might have tried to fight the monster, but this close, and with no weapons, she did not dare to try.<br><br>Running up onto the shore, Robin found herself regretting her decision to do her experiment at such a secluded lake.&nbsp; Right then she didn't care if anyone saw her naked.&nbsp; She just wanted to leave the area alive.<br><br>"Help!" she screamed as she pounded up the shoreline, desperately hoping that someone would hear her.

				Seras couldn't help but smile at the cute bright eyed young girl and her eagerness to fight monsters. <strong>"alright lets head out and kill this thing"</strong> she said before winking at her new party, the guy seemed nice if not flirtatious. after they made their way out of the city Seras turned from a smiling and almost shy girl into a battle commander, as the mobs spawned between them and their prey Seras kept her eyes on the parties HP and tried to make them retreat too heal but she quickly realized the young Alexis was head strong and didnt like to follow directions.<br><br><br>by the time they all got to the bid mobs location each of them had almost reached lvl 3, thier mini map pinged telling them they had arived at the destination the only mob was a giant boar, a mini boss, it was a lvl 8 and would be impossible for them to take down along but together they just might stand a chance

				"Heh this'll be fun" Kenji stated with a smile on his face as he readied himself. Even with three of them the EXP they would gain from this would be somewhat high so they could all possibly get a level or two maybe three if they were lucky. The young man though internally quite cautious about this endeavor couldn't allow his true feelings to show after all he had an image to keep. He wasn't trying to be invincible or anything silly like that simply dependable.<br><br>"So how do ya wanna draw the beast's attention eh?" He was curious what the other two had in mind before just charging in after all planning had a lot to do with survival against high level creatures and it was waaaaaaaay too soon for any of the three to die as far as Kenji was concerned.

				&nbsp;Annelotte stood on the edge of the town still trying to come to grips with what had happened. Her dream of playing a game where everything was based on blade magic had become her worst nightmare. In D&amp;D if your character died you chalked it up to bad dice rolls and if the party had the resources you got to play your character again. If not, well then you rolled up a new character. Other MMOs when you died you had to walk back and get your corpse or someone resurected you. That wouldn't happen here, no if she died here that was it, she was dead. Period. No resurrecting just d-e-a-d, dead. <br><br>&nbsp;It was right about then that she heard a loud scream. Before Annolette knew what happening her feet were already in motion. Her body had reacted without her even knowing what was going on. Her mind&nbsp; tried to catch up with her body but there was no catching up with it. It was in motion and that was the end of that. When she arrived she saw a girl running from some kind of lizard aligator looking thing chasing after another player who as it seemed was naked. Without thinking once more Annolette's blade came up and her muscle memory went into action as the blade ignited in blue white colors as she struck the creature causing it to stop in it's tracks from the heavy blow by Annolette's blade.

				Alexis smiled as they came across the boar once again, she almost had it last time, but after her level was reset during the tutorial she would have to take her time with this fight this time, but to her advantage she at least knew a bit about this mini-boss, looking at Seres and Kenji she formulated a bit of a plan. "Ok, one thing I noticed is that this thing take a few seconds before he will charge at you, so I'll go over to the side and aggro it with my throwing knives, and while he prepares for a charge you guys should hit it from the side, if we repeat that process of hitting the side while he readys for a attack we should be able to get it ok" Confident that her plan would work she began moving towards the boars flank, with her throwing knives ready to draw the beasts attention away. Once she was in position she would wait until she recieved the signal from the other two, wait, did they discuss the signal? She figured they would work it out for themselves even if she did forget to mention that rather critical detail.

				Kenji chuckled after Alexis had sped off to the rear of the boar ready to draw it's attention. He didn't like letting her draw the aggro though because she wasn't a tank. Never the less this plan seemed like it could work so he just shrugged and rolled with it. Realizing that they hadn't discussed a signal he couldn't resist chuckling before shouting "BANZAI" hoping the Ninja girl would get the hint.

				Robin was so focused on trying to get away from the lizard monster that she didn't even realize there was another person around until she heard a war cry from somewhere to her left.&nbsp; Glancing to the side, she caught a glimpse of long silver hair as a beautiful young woman dressed in plate armor charged towards the lizard, gripping a large sword with both hands.&nbsp; The sword glowed bright blue, and then flashed through the air in a descending arc, striking the lizard and leaving an angry looking red line where its blade had cut.&nbsp; The monster roared with fury, then rounded on the swordswoman and came at her, apparently undeterred by the powerful blow it had received.&nbsp; Coming to a halt, Robin turned and watched in fascination as the lizard and the armored woman fought.&nbsp; She was glad she hadn't tried to fight the creature herself -if it could soak up the kind of damage the silver haired woman was inflicting on it with her sword then she wouldn't have stood a chance with her dagger.&nbsp; It was definitely the kind of opponent she'd want to fight from a distance with her bow.<br><br><em>Her bow...</em><br><br>Raising one hand, Robin opened her inventory menu and went immediately to her weapons, not even stopping to equip some clothing.&nbsp; The silver haired woman was strong, but even she would probably appreciate a little help right then.&nbsp; Besides, the woman had just saved Robin's life -Robin owed her all the help she could give.<br><br>Extending one arm in front of her, Robin watched as the tall, gracefully curved form of her yumi began to materialize in her outstretched hand.&nbsp; The glowing form of the bow quickly solidified, as did the quiver of arrows that appeared next to her.&nbsp; Knocking an arrow to her bowstring, she extended her outstretched arm to its full length while pulling back with the other.&nbsp; The arrow began to glow bright blue as she activated her <em>bullseye</em> skill and took aim, watching carefully as the lizard monster and the silver haired woman traded attacks.&nbsp; She saw the woman activate a sword skill and lunge at the creature, hitting it with another blow, and then -for a split second- the woman's movement stopped as her sword skill's cooldown took effect.&nbsp; It was in that moment -as the woman stood still and only the lizard moved -that Robin loosed her shaft.

				Seras rolled her eyes and this plan, they didnt even make a signal before Alexis bolted. Seras quietly went to the other side of the boar so she and Kenji wouldnt get in each others way. after a few seconds she heard Kenje shout 'banzi' and she prepared her charge sword skill so once the throwing knife hit the boar she would be on its flank in a flash.<br><br>one of the better parts of this plan was the flanking bonus that Seras and Kenji would get for attacking the sides of the monster, none of them had gotten a hold of the players guide yet so they wouldnt know why they were dong so much damage.

				Alexis had positioned herself in what she thought to be the ideal location, a branch just above her to grab onto and a bush to attack from initially. When Kenji called Banzai she pretty much knew what he wanted her to do, taking two of her knives from her satchel and threw them one after the other at the boar, one went wide but the other hit it's mark, with a potion of it's health disapearing to confirm the fact. <br><br>Once threat had been established Alexis watched to time her leap to the branch if she had to, like she saw before while fighting this thing it began to tread dirt ready for the charge, Alexis watched in anticipation for her party to strike at it from the flanks while it's attention was on her.

				Seras watched the first dagger fly by the boar but the second one struck perfectly! once the boar turned to Alexis Seras release her charge sword skill and in a flash she was hitting the boars exposed side with a three hit combo, she and Kenji only had moments before the boar charges at Alexis and if it misses . . . when it missed Alexis would be able to deal some damage while it was stunned. <br><br>this boss had two health bars and the first was about 10% down, if they hammered on this thing at this rate they would kill it in about 30 minutes

				Kenji watched the first of the two knives fly past the boar and shook his head as the second came speeding on target. The boar was now charging towards Alexis's hiding place. He quickly rushed in slamming the flank opposite of Seras with a three hit combo of his own. He didn't know that there was a flanking bonus in this game but he'd be grateful later when he did.

That ment it had some amount of HP for it's level. She also felt her stuff on cooldown now as she made herself ready for the second attack this creature could deal out. She just hoped she hadn't made a mistake in attacking it. That was however when she the arrow streak foruth from the other girl's bow. It impacted the creatures head from behind. She watched the shaft of energy burrow through the back of the creature's head and blast out the front of it, a critical hit her meter told her which resualted in the critter's shout of pain. it was right about then that her abilities came off of cooldown.&nbsp; Taking a step back Annelotte hefted her weapon as she brought it down as it became alight with blue-white light against as she drove it down on the creature's shoulder. The attack cleaved down through the creature, another critical strike her meter told her as the creature screamed in pain before disolving into data and awarding both Annelotte and Robin asisted kill XP. Though Annelotte would get the lion's share of the XP since she had been the one to tag it. She looked over at the girl as a loot option came up for Robin as her compensation for lesser XP.

However all that was not on her mind. What was, was that she had acted and her actions had saved someone else's life. It was an interesting feeling to say the least. She found herself breathing hard from the exhileration of such a feat. She barely registered the other girl had said something to her she was that caught up in her thoughts and musings. She had been in a funk ever since she had learned about this crazy world. In that moment where she had acted to save someone's life she had a realization. They were only going to get out of this mess if they helped each other. It was then that she noticed the new girl, Robin she thought was her name was offering her the bonus loot she had gotton. <br><br>&nbsp;She shook her head clearing her doubts as she now knew what she would do. First off however was to deal with Robin. She smiled back at her and it was a genuine one at that. "No you go ahead and keep it. You won it fair and square as far as I'm concerned. Besides my <em>Knight's Crest's</em> provides me with the same bonuses that the Angel's Amulet does." she said touching her hand to the ruby-red horse choker around her neck before laying her hand on Robin's shoulder. "By the way my name's Annelotte." she said back to her before she sheathed her own sword.

				Alexis smiled as her plan seemed to be working, however it didn't do nearly as much as she was hoping, however the boar boss finished charging up its arrack and lunge towards her, having prethought this out Alexis jumped upwards and grabbed a branch, allowing the boar to crash into the tree that was right behind her. Now it was time for step two of her plan.<br><br>While the boar was dazed Alexis jumped back down and landed on top of the boss, gripping down hard with her legs she then started to hack away at its neck with her dagger, after a few seconds this became incresingly difficult as she became a rodeo show as the boar did everything it could to shake her off while she mercilessly struck at its neck for as long as she could. After a short amount of time she finally lost her grip as she was thrown clear, taking a portion of fall damage she tried to recompose itself, just as the boss began its next attack.

				Seras watched, stunned for a moment, while Alexis rode the giant boar for a few moments before being thrown off. she was able to see that Alexis had taken some damage from the fall and wouldn't be able to get out of the way of the next charge. dashing in front of the young girl Seras readied her Katana&nbsp; and charged a sword skill <strong>"when we knock each other back both of you charge and do as much damage as you can before he's back on his feet alright? Kenji you knock him back the same way next time alright?"</strong><br><br>just after she finished speaking the boar charged and Seras meet it head on, both her and the boar were knocked backwards as the attacked rebounded off each other leaving both stunned for only a few seconds

				(ooc: I do apologize for the delay)<br><br><br>Kenji chuckled idly as he watched Alexis play rodeo girl with the boar before she got flung off. He then listened as Seras barked out her orders "Hai hai" He called cheerfully as he lunged in for an attack. His axe swung in delivering a sharp blow to the boar after Seras slammed it calling for a switch.&nbsp; He would wait for Alexis to attack it before preparing his attack to stun it with and switch.

She reached out her hand to close Robin's hand around the offered necklace. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure that I don't need it, but you'll need it more than I do." she said to her with a soft smile. She could also see the look of awe on her face as she looked upon her face. She knew that look all too well actually. She was used to seeing those looks from people around her city when they got a look at her. "But I think Knight's Crest more fits a Knight than an Angel's Amulet. I think an Angel's Amulet would be better suited to you." she said to her.

				"Ah, all right."<br><br>Robin reluctantly withdrew the hand holding the amulet.&nbsp; Spreading the fingers that Annelotte had closed around the silver trinket, the archer girl studied the amulet for a moment, then finally decided to put it on.&nbsp; Undoing the clasp, she put the thin chain the ornament was attached to around her neck then re-fastened it.&nbsp; Withdrawing her hands, she watched as the amulet settled into place between her ample breasts.<br><br><em>Her breasts...</em><br><br>It was at that moment that Robin realized she was still stark naked.&nbsp; Every curve of the figure that had brought her so much unwanted attention from boys and every inch of the skin that had drawn comment from other girls was exposed.&nbsp; Eyes widening with horror, she quickly covered her crotch with one hand and tried to shield her breasts with an arm, an effort that served to emphasize their generous size.&nbsp; Combined with the blush that rose to her cheeks and the way her body tensed up, the overall effect was to make her compromising situation much lewder than it had been.<br><br>"There's a reason for this!" she stammered.&nbsp; "I was wondering what it would be like to swim in the lake, and there was no one around, so I decided to go in, and then that monster attacked me, and I ran, and then..."<br><br>Robin's voice trailed off, and the blush in her cheeks grew redder.&nbsp; She wanted to get some clothes on fast, but she couldn't work her inventory menu while she was still covering herself.<br><br>"Please look away," she pleaded, her voice little more than a whisper.

				&nbsp;Annelotte laughed a bit when she watched Robin suddenly just now realize she was completely naked. Her stammered response only further made her grin widely. "Well I am a girl so seeing you like that isn't like I haven't seen it before." she said to before turning around to give the girl some privacy. She may have been a girl as well but she understood it was a bit of an issue of pride. So she let Robin have the moment she needed to get fully dressed. As she let her get dressed a thought occured to Annelotte. "Hey name's Annelotte." she said to her over her shoulder.

				Despite Annelotte looking away, Robin still turned to face away from the other woman before she started to change.&nbsp; Her face burning with embarassment, she quickly brought up her inventory menu and used it to equip the midriff baring outfit she'd been using ever since the start of the game.&nbsp; The outfit was a bit skimpy and emphasized her bust more than she would have liked, as it had been designed for the figure of the cute blonde avatar she'd designed for herself, but it was a big improvement over being naked.&nbsp; She was in the process of retying her hair when Annelotte introduced herself. <br><br>"Pleased to meet you Annelotte.&nbsp; My name is Robin," she replied, apparently forgetting that she'd already given the silver haired woman her name earlier.&nbsp; "You can turn around now," she added as she began to equip accessories such as her quiver, dagger, and new amulet.
