Open Eastern Brisshal Loading, Ready, Run

[Mighty Rumblehide]

Trash. Garbage. Too wild. Too short. Too bright. Too far apart. Too cute.

In the empty void that was the character creation menu, gentle mist swirled around at Zoe Staal's feet while her fingers flipped furiously through the many and varied options that shaped the pile of polygons (that looked a little too realistic for her tastes) before her.

Many and varied--but none that worked for her.

How long had she been standing her, cycling through meters and menus while the thing in front of her? Long enough for her neck to hurt--or seem like it hurt, anyway. The injury, while very real before she put her headset on, had no sway here. It was all in her mind.

Full range of movement, full strength, full speed ahead into this weird-ass game that someone sent her.

Or she would--if she could just make something that didn't look like a statuette or a pillowcase you scrambled to hide whenever the parents were popping over for dinner.

Too snatched. Too toned. Too... Are those even LEGAL?! They break the laws of physics at LEAST--and probably indecency and obscenity laws too--

Zoey took a step back and closed her eyes, the tips of her fingers working the bridge of her nose in an attempt to stave off a headache that threatened to explode. All she wanted to do was port in her D&D 6th Edition character. The half wood elf Battle Master; the group mom that multi-classed with shit-wrecker that her group lovingly nicknamed the Meat Elf.

Tall, dark and plain; built for function over form. Could either throw you halfway across the tavern without missing a step, or give you the most delightful hug! That's a save against being grappled, and being charmed, friend.

Except the elves of Terrasphere all looked like they had, for their infinite wisdom and discoveries, never eaten a carb before in their lives.

The impatient taps of her foot echoed throughout the lobby, even though she couldn't see any walls. For a moment she considers going with a human--but that's boring, isn't it? What's the point of throwing yourself into a fantasy world if you're not going to engage in at least a wee little bit of the fantasy aspects?

Fuck it. Steeling herself, she stepped up to the menus and sliding meters again, and quickly cobbled together something that she could be, at the very least, okay with. Long, wavy hair that was thick enough to get into tangled knots with a stiff breeze. Ears as short as the devs' idea of elves' ears were legally allowed to be. Arms set to strong--with just a little muscle definition as a treat. Piercing eyes set in a round face. "Gifts"? Modest. The rest of her physique? Slammed all the way to max. Which, in this case, made her look like she could take a couple hits before crumpling into a pile on the floor.

Name?

Mighty Rumblehide.

And with the final press of a button, she disappeared in a shroud of swirling vapor.

------------------------------------------------------
​

--And promptly found herself falling through the skies, rapidly approaching the ground below.

But we'll skip that part. It's uninteresting, and filled with enough swearing to get her locked out of world chat for like a month.

Once Zoey--no; she is Rumble now--

Once Rumble picks herself up out of her personal entry crater, she manages to wipe dirt and grass off her mangy tunic before bright lights and buttons pop into her field of view. HP, energy, inventory, minimaps, chatboxes, and more blocked her immediate surroundings while she flailed about in an attempt to make some order out of everything.

"Shoulda' looked up a FAQ," she muttered to herself while her arms waved about in the afternoon sun.

 

[Bonnie Bonbon]

‘Huuuh, looking up a FAQ? Why, that’s so 2020s. Heh! A real gamer would know their strats before jumping into the game, y’know.’ A high pitched, condescending voice greets the elf from above, not that far away from her glorious landing crater. Should the brunette glance towards the source of the voice, she’d be met with crimson hair flowing in the afternoon wind, a pair of golden hues so deep they could mistaken for gold, and proportions that might as well be illegal —

Quite the sight to see, if only she wasn’t hanging upside down, stuck by her left foot on the branch of a large tree.

Bonnie wanted to poke fun at the brunette for the size of the crater below her, but she had to watch her mouth — the new arrival could be her ticket to getting out of this tricky situation. ‘Fret not, though! I happen to have a lot of experience with games in general, you see.’ her eyelids closed and arms crossed as she tries her best to acknowledge her own terrible start on the game.

‘So how ‘bout a deal! I could share with you some tips, if - urgh…’ her masterful skills at negotiation were interrupted by a splitting headache. In fact, had the shade of her skin gotten any more intense, the line of colours between her fiery hair and fair skin would surely blur, just like her consciousness.

Honestly, for how long had she been stuck upside down? Only the gods know. One thing’s for sure however — the redhead was pioneering the triple-death speedrun challenge with every passing moment.

[Sakura Wind]

Sakura was unsure of what she was doing. Someone she'd never said a word to had sent her an email, and one thing lead to another, and she was making a character for some kind of MMO. It didn't take long for her to settle on a look. though. She ended up making a little wolf girl that she thought was just so adorable.

...Maybe this can be a good chance for me to talk to others...

Then Sakura fell from the sky. She closed her eyes as she braced for impact, landing in a bush. Once she got her bearings, she pulled herself out of the shrubbery to get her bearings. It was at that moment that she saw a little rabbit. How cute. I want to pet it... So, Sakura started walking after the rabbit.

She wasn't particularly watching where she was going, but she tried her best to keep the rabbit in eyesight as it kept hopping away from her. Eventually, though, it hopped through a bush and out of sight. Sakura moved past the bush to look for the rabbit, looking around the area and seeing someone trying to get their bearings. She doesn't notice the person hanging from a tree.

In an instant, Sakura starts panicking, having had no time to mentally prepare for interaction this soon.

"...Umm... Have you seen a rabbit around here? I... I was trying to pet it..."

@Mighty Rumblehide @Bonnie Bonbon

 

[Mighty Rumblehide]

Minimizing one more menu, Rumble's vision was (mostly) clear--and much to her surprise, someone else appeared to be having a rough go at this spawn zone.

"Yeah, well... Haven't had the time to play games lately. You kind of forget everything after a while." She sniffed. A familiar springtime breeze, almost like home. Actual home, deep in the Adirondacks. Carrying the scent of pine that felt a little too real. The sun beating down on her neck, through thick curls of deep brown hair. The individual blades of grass that scratched her ankles as they waved back and forth in the wind.

Ain't virtual reality neat?

The redhead hanging from the tree mentioned tips. And, in an absence of any Fextralife wikis on what was rapidly becoming clear to the elf was that highly illegal game she heard about on the news a few years back, Rumble wasn't too proud to accept any help she could get--especially if it meant she could get out of these damn linens and into some proper leather armor like a real damn hero.

"Deal," she said, and stomped on over to the tree. The plan was simple: scamper on up, pry this young woman loose, and hope to hell she didn't drop her on her head. (How's fall damage calculated?)

As Rumble cracked her knuckles and prepared to dig her fingers into the bark, a third joined the party. A young woman with tiny, doggish ears and sandy hair, short and scrawny and probably aerodynamic enough to be thrown as a javelin if the need arose.

"I'm afraid I haven't," Rumble said before she looked back up at the tree. Redhead was a little ways up, but there were plenty of thick branches that she could grab onto that would support her weight as she climbed. "I just... uh... landed. Haven't seen much of anything except for this one right here." She pointed at Redhead.

"Let me help her down, and then maybe we can look for your rabbit?"

@Bonnie Bonbon @Sakura Wind

 

[Kaminari Arashi]

Ugh... What a ruckus. The magia girl pulled her hat down over her face further as though it would make all the chatter and branch snapping quieter. It didn't work. She had been napping, or at least attempting to nap underneath a nearby tree. Honestly she was starting to wonder if she needed to find a new favorite spot, as people kept showing up wherever she went. Unlike in the real world she didn't find it scary, rather, she was just trying to enjoy a moment of quiet inner peace, which was a rarity for her. With another quiet groan she started to stand up, messing with her hair so that her bangs would help cover her eyes. It was probably just in her head, but she didn't want to be answering questions about her obviously artificial eyes.

Time to do social interaction, whatever that meant. Kaminari was not practiced at this sort of thing, but she also didn't really care what other people thought of her in this game. She slowly walked forward towards the noisy people, her blue and grey patchwork robe fluttering in the breeze as she approached. She leaned up against a tree, frail fingers twitching next to her, emitting sparks. "Why not just leave her there..." She muttered quietly, not really know what else to say as she stared up at the weird person hanging upside down from a tree. She supposed when you were as fit as the brown haired lady, and you had an excuse to climb a tree, you probably would.

 

[Bonnie Bonbon]

As the headache subsided for a moment, Bonnie could see another person whom she assumed to be a fellow traveller in her own mindscape. Terrasphere no doubt was a hook for people from all walks of life, and the beastfolk was perhaps a prime of example of that; discovering secret dungeons, facing mighty beasts, uncovering legendary loot! So many things, yet…

A rabbit, really? The redhead upside-down-raised (?) one of her eyebrows in confusion as she glanced towards the beastfolk. 'You should be careful, you know? Wolves and the like tend to look for rabbits, too. They say you can't have a starter quest without a pack of them or something.' a hearty chuckle was perhaps the last of her energy this time. Another headache and the redhead was out of commission for the most part, except…

'Landed? ahaheeoouih… Sure did…!' Did she mistake astramancy for geomancy in the character creation or something? If the [stars] fading in and out of her vision and the distorted faces of the duo below was anything to go by, she was on death's door at this point. 'Mwiss. Elf went kabwoom when she landed! Hehehe… Did you know? ThaaaAat landing disrupted the flow of leeeyyYlines. The end of the wooorld is nweaAaar!' She flailed her arms in one last attempt at freeing herself before they went limp. Lost in her own dazed state, her golden eyes were now just two spirals of pure and unadulterated confusion.

@Sakura Wind @Mighty Rumblehide @Kaminari Arashi

 

[Sakura Wind]

Sakura tried her best to keep up with everything as she stayed a bit away from the others. So she just landed... There's somebody in a tree talking about the end of the world and wolves? Then there's someone else just... watching? She backed away a bit, thinking to herself. Then, she gets an idea.

The small beastfolk made her way over to where the person hanging from the tree was and fiddled with the menus a bit. "...Where is it... Is it this? ...No..." After a few moments, she was able to figure out where to navigate for what she wanted. She held her hand out in front of her and focused.

In the span of about fifteen seconds that Sakura was focusing, a small bush grew below the hanging woman. The bush had a small selection of flowers growing out of them, and Sakura took a moment to breathe in the aroma.

"...I landed in a bush, so hopefully it should break the fall...?" Sakura backed away, hoping not to get in the way any more than she already had.

@Mighty Rumblehide @Kaminari Arashi @Bonnie Bonbon

 

[Mighty Rumblehide]

"And if not," she huffed, "maybe she'll get a branch poking somewhere unpleasant for poking fun at me."

While a second bystander (this one with a big honkin' hat) joined the festivities, Rumble had successfully scooted up the trunk of the tree. A childhood of practice--with only three broken bones, thank you very much!--made the climb easy as you please.

Easing herself slowly towards where Redhead's foot was trapped, Rumble wrapped her legs tight around the branch and reached out to where the wood split. Rumble wrapped one hand around the woman's calf, and with the other....

Do what, exactly?

Just twist her foot around like a bottlecap? Surely with her SPECIAL! meter almost topped off, the meat elf was primed to snap Redhead's ankle, right? It's only a game. She won't feel a damn thing.

Maybe just... pushing her free could work? ...Nah, all the squirming the girl was doing would've freed her by now if that was the case.

As Rumble considered simply punching the branch until it snapped and then politely but firmly asking for the gameplay tips before completely freeing her, she heard a friendly and fierce chime in her ears. A quick glance at her UI showed her SPECIAL! meter glowing red and orange. And without even knowing how the hell she did it, it activated. A surge of adrenaline rushed through her, steeling her focus and tensing her muscles. Suddenly, she felt strong enough shoulder tackle a wall! Or suplex a train! Or change someone's opinion on social media by presenting them with sourced facts!

Grabbing the forks of the branch and ripping them apart like a wishbone was mere child's play at that point.

Redhead was free (-falling towards the bush). Rumble glanced down at her hands, which where flashing yellow and white, yellow and white. A little notification popped up in her UI, letting her know she leveled up a skill.

"...Rad."

@Bonnie Bonbon @Sakura Wind @Kaminari Arashi

 

[Kaminari Arashi]

Huh. She looked up thoughtfully as the woman ripped the branch apart with her bare hands. It was less the incredible act of strength and more the fact that someone seemed to have taken her absolutely terrible advice. Now she felt like she had some sort of responsibility for the situation the red haired lady found herself in. It was a very long fall after all, and despite not wanting to be involved she also didn't want to see someone else get hurt in general. She glanced over at the extremely cute wolf girl who had summoned a bush from the ground. "It's a start for sure. Let's see if I can't do something as well..." She muttered the last part, trailing off as an spherical bubbles of water started to form in the air above the bush. She doubted it would stop the fall, but hopefully it would cushion her a bit? And if that didn't work and the woman died she could always zap her with some lightning to bring her back to life. That always worked in the movies after all.

Her eyes narrowed and she bit her lip, focusing on controlling her magic, and doing her best not to conjure any electricity around the water. Since she had first logged in, playing with her magic was basically all she had done, 24/7, but despite that she still didn't have the best control. Oh well, some people liked that sort of thing anyway.
@Bonnie Bonbon @Sakura Wind @Mighty Rumblehide

 

[Bonnie Bonbon]

'ToOoOonwiiight, we set swaaaaail-' crack the branch went, and before long the redheaded traveller was freed from her verdant warden. The ever-present effects of gravity pulled her down to the earth, her marvellous and fiery hair fluttering in response to the sudden fall. In this eternally but fleeting moment, we slow down the scene to properly describe a smug redhead's karmic punishment;

The sudden rush of air brought her back to her senses and her lips widened in response. Bonnie's newfound happiness in being freed only lasted a moment; as if waiting for that one smile, a bubble of water breaks some of her fall, but not before forcefully filling her thirst meter to above and beyond. Another wave of now chilly hair, and before long she fell face first into the merciful bush with a muffled thud.

As if on cue a flock of birds flew away from a nearby tree, signalling the end of Bonnie Bonbon.

Silence.

At long last, however, her body twitches and the bush explodes outward. All around the redhead leaves dramatically fell as she whipped one of her twin-tails in a motion straight out of a L'Oreal Paris ad. Of course, given she was completely drenched the motion instead failed and her fiery tresses instead decided to slap her on the face because of her own stupidity.

'A-ahem' she struggles a bit to take the hair out of her face, 'Fellow travellers! I shall not forget this wonderful deed of yours. Rest assured that someday I, Bonnie Bonbon, shall repay you dear-' before she could properly express gratitude and finish her fancy greetings, a torrent of water and leaves forcefully pour out of the corner of her mouth, right on top of another bush — from which a startled bunny speeds out deeper into the forest.

 

[Sakura Wind]

Sakura watched as the combined efforts of the three released the woman from the tree in a display of strength, bubbles, and bushes, stepping back and flinching as the woman landed in the bush. I hope they're okay. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes to see the woman emerge...

...as well as the rabbit rushing to escape the group's shenanigans. "The rabbit...!" Sakura made an initial few steps to chase the rabbit, but it was already too late. The rabbit was already out of sight, and Sakura didn't trust herself enough to continue the chase. With a small pout, she sat against a tree and waited for the others to sort out whatever they were doing. She didn't exactly have anything to say at the moment, but she figured that would hopefully be okay with the one from the tree being really good at grabbing attention. Perhaps I should stick around her for a while...

...Sakura's wait turned from just watching to her messing with her magic to grow small flowers in the span of a few seconds, enjoying the aromas of the flowers.

 

[Mighty Rumblehide]

"Good enough job, everyone," the elf boomed as she leaped the last few feet from the tree and landed in a crouch. The last bits of SPECIAL! trickled out of her UI, leaving nothing but an empty black bar sticking out like a sore thumb below her hit points.

Brushing flecks of bark off her hands and pant legs, Rumble surveyed the damage she caused. One tree branch: Neatly snapped. Maybe could make for a decent beat-stick? Lowest of the low in damage and rank, no doubt. But, when needs must...!

"Now, with that settled and your leg free... You said you would repay me with some tips and tricks, Ms. Pro Gamer?" Rumble crossed her arms over her chest. Sure; she may have received only one skill level up in the five minutes she's been in the game; but that's a high she planned on riding for quite a while. Until her next one, anyway.

She motioned towards the others. "Your captive audience awaits!"

@Bonnie Bonbon @Sakura Wind @Kaminari Arashi

 

[Kaminari Arashi]

Kaminari sighed, running her fingers through her hair before readjusting her hat. At least the woman was alright. And very obviously so at that. She glanced around the ragtag group that had formed, taking mental stock of the situation. "I look forward to your repayment... I didn't catch your name." She commented to the seemingly very energetic red hair lady. She was definitely looking forward to some kind of payment in the future; not so much further interaction with someone so obviously extroverted. Maybe that was just what she needed though.

She crossed her arms, leaning up against a tree nonchalantly. "Tips and tricks huh... You know, there's no reward at the end of this journey. I'd rather figure things out at my own pace, no need to rush things." The pale mage said quietly, going back to tossing bolts of electricity from one hand to the other, seeming more than a little lost in the flashing light and her own thoughts.

 

[Bonnie Bonbon]

What- what was going on, she wondered, as at least two out of her three saviors accepted her totally not fraudulent attempt at owing them for saving her. Perhaps she was on the naive side of things to think they'd just brush aside her self-imposed debt… Alas, the promise had already been done. She totally set herself up on this one. If only she hadn't messed up when falling from the sky — turns out inputting the konami code on her UI as she had fallen unlocked zilch but problems.

'Indeed, Ms.Elf!' she spun on her heels and pointed at Rumblehide, 'I have no qualms with sharing this gamer's amazing knowledge, but…' in a smooth motion the pointing index joins the rest, forming a fist. Several UI elements popped up in her vision afterward, from basic information on her avatar to the more advanced ones such as mastery choices and everything in between.

Bonnie's overconfident grin fades for a brief moment. Everything was completely different. Make no mistake — her real world persona had been more than prepared. Chris had scoured for every bit of information on the web and had went through serious research by meeting people that had experienced the game at some point. Everything so he could increase the chances of finding a certain someone, someday. What forced Bonnie's smug to fade was the possibility that —-

All her effort had been for naught thus far.

Moving on!

She clears her throat. '…It appears almost everything has changed. Not even the masteries are the same. As such, I need to add a fine print to my services; some of the info I know might be outdated, ya?' she'd glance between each of them, awaiting for some type of reaction or response before procceeding.

'Then let's begin!' She claps her hands, a wide grin plastered on her face again. 'For starters, if you have been living under a rock for the past four years, this is Terrasphere. It's a very dangerous game. Three strikes and your body in the real world is out; it's not a rumour.' Arms resting on her hips and eyes on the shifting colors of the afternoon sky, she walks toward Sakura.

'Right now, I think we're at Eastern Brisshal. We should probably look for a river and follow it go get to a village before it gets dark; I don't wanna deal with any wolves. Honeyhome is probably closer.' If the beastfolk allowed, Bonnie would give her a brief headpat. 'We can gather our bearings there and then decide what to do. How's that sound?' she'd wait for confirmation before speaking up one last time,

'In case you missed it, you can call me Bonnie.' she pouted at Kaminari. How did she miss it!? the redhead even went so far as make a super fabulous introduction! 'And until you girls introduce yourselves —'

She pointed at @Mighty Rumblehide, '…You are Meteor Elf!'

Following the same at @Kaminari Arashi, 'Sorting Hat!'

And lastly to @Sakura Wind, 'And Best Girl!'

'So, who's with me? We could even try to find the rabbit while at it!'

 

[Sakura Wind]

Sakura listened in as she enjoyed the aromas, occasionally getting distracted by the nearby wildlife. A stray bird, the sound of something rustling, it was all so enamoring to her. As such, there were small parts of the speech that she didn't catch. Thankfully, the small beastfolk missed the part about the game being dangerous, preventing a possible panic attack. She also missed the woman's name, though.

As soon as she noticed that she was just called 'Best Girl', Sakura's face turned red as she put her hands in front of it to hide her embarrassment. "...Nice to meet you, I'm Ru-Sakura..." She paused for a few seconds to calm herself down, removing her hands from her face when it wasn't nearly as red as before. "...It's okay, I can always find another rabbit... So, follow a river? I'll... see if I can find one." She starts looking around for any possible signs of water... which leads to her starting to wander away from the party.

I... don't feel like I should be going too far, but the area should be relatively safe if it's the starting area, right...?

@Bonnie Bonbon @Mighty Rumblehide @Kaminari Arashi

 

[Mighty Rumblehide]

Three strikes, then boom. Gone.

That's fine!

Die twice; then delete the game and go back to doing the exact same sword n' board build in Elder Scrolls 6, where the only thing that could hurt her was the complete disrespect the dev showed to Nords and the litany of bugs that not even the unofficial patches could slap a band-aid over. No biggie!

Still very good to know, of course.

The elf listened intently to Bonnie as she spoke. So, this was one of the players before the game went offline four years ago? That's... incredibly useful! Not that I was doubting anything she said before--but now maybe I can put a little more stock into it rather than filing it all away and finding a player with a bunch of fancy titles and cross-reference everything with them.

She made note of the names of the zones. Eastern Brisshal. Honeyhome. A quick check of her minimap confirmed all this--and added that they were currently in the region known as Falderen.

"Sounds like a plan," she nodded. "I am... Mighty Rumblehide, by the way." Nearly used her real name there! Whoops! "It's a mouthful. Rumble will work."

And then, to the diminutive Sakura, she said, "And while we travel, I'll help you look, okay?"

@Sakura Wind @Bonnie Bonbon @Kaminari Arashi

 

[Kaminari Arashi]

No one seemed to care about her philosophical moment. That was fine, it was their loss. Her pale porcelain hand reached up to brush her bangs out of her eyes for a moment. Dangerous? Death after 3 strikes? What a cliched kind of system to have. It would certainly up the ante though. And the greater the danger the greater the rush.

Kaminari wasn't particularly concerned anyway, she wasn't here to fight. She didn't plan to do anything dangerous either. She felt much more like an observer here in this world than anything. She crossed her arms, she hadn't intended to be a part of this group anyway, but apparently wolves came out at night so she figured she might as well go along with them to find safety.

"I'm Kaminari. You can call me whatever you want to though." The frail magia woman crossed her arms, looking very sullen. Almost as though she meant "You can call me what you want, not like we'll ever meet again."

Despite that she started to move with the timid girl as she started to wander away. Out of all of them there she seemed like the most likely one to find trouble and the least prepared to deal with it. "Dont stray too far." She mumbled to her, not making eye contact and trying to pretend like she didn't actually care.

@Sakura Wind @Bonnie Bonbon @Mighty Rumblehide

 

[Bonnie Bonbon]

A silly smile was drawn on Bonnie's face as she patted the beastfolk's head and watched her reaction unfold. She had just seen what many of her brethren back in the real world would have killed to experience themselves, so, at the end of the day, mission accomplished! "Aight, that sounds good to me then! Let's get crackin' outta here!" she nodded back to Rumblehide as she started following the rest of the group.

As they walked amidst the peaceful woodlands of Eastern Brisshal, however, Bonnie decided to play some pranks on them, especially since they seemed so eager to believe in her oh-so-reliable knowledge, 'Ya know, we're kinda lucky.' arms raised up in the air and then rested behind her head, she let her mysterious statement fill the atmosphere before proceeding. Her blue orbs watched each one of them as a grin adorned her baby face.

'I heard that sometimes a player can get quite unlucky and land near this really dangerous mob. A wolf, like many, but not quite the same…' she stifled a giggle, doing her best not to ruin her own setup. 'A mighty beast some three times the size a normal wolf, and thrice the amount of heads to boot. Some really messed up stuff, I say…' Bonnie fell silent, waiting for reactions.

'But it's alright, really. I'm here, so ya'll can count on me!'

Spoiler: ...

A beastfolk deep in ignorance,
An elf blinded by optimism,
A magia inebriated in confidence,
And a faerin lost in aimlessness.​

A ragtag group of fresh travelers that were unaware of the dangers of playing a game that, with plenty of good reason, was rightfully labeled as illegal.

They had been waiting for quite some time now — numerous eyes, watching. Like a gourmet chef preparing their most exquisite meal to date, they moved and acted as one in hope that, when the perfect chance to strike presented itself, they'd tear through the throat of any sapient creature that underestimated them for their size. Though initially intent of making a feast out of the Faerin once exhaustion had claimed her, they had also managed to include a beastfolk, and soon after, even more. It was quite the amount of flesh, enough to feed their young for quite some time —

Especially the elf. One of them, however, was displeased with the unnatural scent of the Magia.

It all happened in a flash. The moment to strike had presented itself when the beastfolk had decided to look for one of them on her own; the soft rustling of a bush was the only warning sign Sakura would have before a rabbit darted forward, sharp incisors aiming for her right leg. It ultimately failed, and as it landed from its attack, it violently hit ground with its legs in response. Its glowing red eyes glared daggers at the beastfolk, who dared not sit still like food should. (reflex DC of 55, passed).

All around them more bushes came to life and from within them at least a total of five rabbits revealed themselves, starving for all the flesh before them. Encircled by them at once, there was no doubt these creatures were not giving up on their meal easily.

80 / 100

Sakura didn't pay anything much attention as she walked along. Having others around her calmed her in a way she didn't exactly understand. This is... nice. I like this... I should talk to people more often. Her attention was constantly being grabbed by everything around her. Birds flying overhead, flowers along the group's route, a rustling bush...

Then, a rabbit jumped out of the bush, trying to attack her. Sakura dove to the ground, screaming in panic. "GET AWAY!" Very hurriedly, she scrambled to get back to her feet and hide behind a nearby tree as the other rabbits appeared.

As she pulled herself up, a rabbit bit her in the leg. "GETITOFFME!" Sakura shook the rabbit off and rushed behind a nearby tree, an aroma reaching the others that made them feel slightly more invigorated. "Umm... good luck?" The small beastfolk rubbed her leg to try to soothe the pain as she watched from her hiding place behind the tree.

100 / 120

The first bit of health loss that Mighty Rumblehide took inside the game of Terrasphere was a surprising shock to her system. Actual pain--actual, real pain--tore up her forearm and made the muscles in her shoulder and neck tense up. A guttural growl rumbled from deep within the elf; already the adrenaline and rage were pumping through her veins.

Luckily for her, the rabbit's jaw had to open pretty wide to gnaw on her. Its grip poor, it flailed about in the air as Rumble raised her arm. Her growl erupted into a full roar as she swung up. The bloodthirsty critter popped free, careening through the air. In a flash, Rumble's pitiful excuse for a bludgeoning stick filled her hand; and as her foe fell, she struck.

You would've thought it was hit by a truck, with what fell in a lumpy, pulpy pile in the grass about twenty feet away.

Rumble didn't look for any other threats. She immediately spun around on the tree her new beastfolk friend scurried behind. "Ru-Sakura! Are you okay?!"
