Chapter 25

"Two Damage dealers to the crypts! Quick run!"

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:27

"Looking for a group to accompany!"

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:27

"Buffer with a heal and a ranger on the far Misty Fields! Let's go for the whole day!"

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:30

"The guild group will take a level twenty-five priest!"

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:30

"We're looking for armored fighters - a big tour to the groves!"

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:31

The developers of "CoDs" are good at everything, but this thing with the general voice chat is annoying. You have to keep your head spinning, looking for the right phrases, otherwise, everything merges into a monotonous buzz, clogging up any meaningful message.

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:32

The area of the hiring exchange was comparable in size to the marketplace, which is not surprising. Here and there they both sold. In the marketplace, they sold items and craft skills, while here they sold game time and mastery.

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:38

Want to go on a quest that's too hard for you? Buy help from the exchange. Looking for a permanent group? Here you go again. Here scouring the guild recruiters, testing candidates, and looking for rare skill combinations, there's always a crowd of freeloaders, ready to go anywhere to chew your bit of precious exp. And, with luck, grab the loot and run away. Here the seething mass of ordinary normal players, without any backward thinking, looking for a group. In the same bazaar, the main board with the caravan and messenger quests from the city NPCs. And, of course, the den. Over there is the descent to a semi-basement room, with dim lamps and dirty windows that give more shadows than light. The place where the mercenaries get their contracts. Come down, if you're brave.

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:44

I stood at the board with the announcements from the NPCs and began to read while trying to hear something in the chat. I closed the text window immediately, the local chat in it flashed with unthinkable speed, not allowing me even to grasp the meaning, let alone understand the subtleties.

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 19:57

Announcement of a caravan going to a neighboring town. A good thing is a caravan, especially for newcomers. A long recurring quest with a good reward, and on the way someone will try to rob: either NPC robbers, adventurers who want easy, as they think, loot, or mercenaries, fulfilling their class quests. Resurrection is right on the spot, so fight, young warrior, and earn experience and reputation! It's kind of boring, though.

Camrad_RIP 25.10.22 в 20:00

Escort missions are the same caravan, but less time-consuming, though riskier.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 05:47

Capture quests - a complete list of "tomatoes" spotted in front of the guards. That's what I'd do, with a wanted list you get a magical beacon, roughly indicating the direction of the target. It's like a hunt. Too bad it doesn't show the level of the target. I'm going to grow up and do it because the "bounty hunters" receive a very good reputation, apparently, it is specially designed so that merged mercenaries could step on the path of correction, before the next crime.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 05:49

I turned my head, looking for the player who had just said. "Clearance mission?" What that?

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 05:49

"Who's up for clearing? We're going for three days, the second half of the day by "middle Europe". We need a body and some kind of ranger! Mobs - level thirtieth!"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 05:54

A body, then?

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 05:54

"I'm interested."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:28

The speaker, a tall man in a gray and blue cloak, turned and looked me over.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:29

"Heavy fighter? Profession, level?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:29

"Paladin of Amala the Healer. The level is not high but I'll be useful for sure."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:30

"Name? If it's on the PK list I won't take you."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:31

"Come on, how can a paladin be on the list?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:31

"Such times you don't know who's going to get there. Invite, and open your status. So?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 07:32

"I'm sorry, but I took a vow not to reveal my name until level one hundred."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:29

The interlocutor snickered skeptically:

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:29

"Then go to the Mysti Fields. I don't want freeloaders. However, there is a way out - a duel right here, and if you win, I'll take you."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:30

I looked around.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:30

"A duel next to a den? I wouldn't risk it. Easy frag."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:31

"Awesome. A low-level roleplayer buffer with mercenaries behind him. A valuable specimen for any group, they'll tear you apart!"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:31

"Of course. I do not pretend to loot, I play with modules, and I can both tank and assist. In addition, I am set up for long and persistent pumping. So throw the invite and let's go."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:02

"You are harsh, "warrior of Light."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:03

"Oh, hello, Pal! How about joining our group?" Ivalia? Yeah, yesterday's druidess.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:32

"Hi, Ila. I'm trying to get into another group here. To this mistrustful guy."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:33

"Vacek, take him, and let's go, I'm bored!"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 08:33

Along with the druidess came a lancer elf and a large goblin in armor.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:04

"Do you know each other?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:04

I looked at Ila, and she nodded.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:04

"Vacek, I told you about yesterday's raid - that's what he was in charge of! And he fights well!"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:05

Vacek sighed.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:05

*A player invites you to join the group. Do you accept?

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:05

Yes.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:05

"Hi all!!!" I turned off the external channels, except my personal channel, and switched to the group channel. "I am a Paladin. I don't reveal my name because I took a vow. I play from the virt. If anything, I can heal and damage. I'm going for the exp, I am not interested in the loot. But I want a lot of exp!

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:08

"It will be an exp for you. This is Alric, Knight of the Forest." The spearman bowed graciously. "This is Gdag, the warrior." The goblin slapped his gauntlet on his cuirass. "I am Vacek, Pathfinder. Ila, I see you know."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:09

I bowed to the girl, trying to reproduce the waving of my hat in the style of the Musketeers.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:10

"How could I forget such a charming healer! What's with the cleanup?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:14

"I have a class quest - to clear part of the forest of evil-affected mobs. It's a nerd quest, but I'll get the reward. The trick is to clean up the area without destroying the quest tree."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:15

"The archetype?"

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:15

"Yes, the archy, the forest warrior, simply a tracker."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:16

It's a shame: it means I can't take the quest.

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:17

"Okay. If anything, I'll give you a buff of sixteen to the stats."

Camrad_RIP 26.10.22 в 13:17
