Probably ... I need to prepare a lot of bombs.

[eonsadrift]

Just make sure you store them where other people can't get to them.

[belltolling]

I will! I can conjure them like I did my clothes and staff.

[eonsadrift]

...right. I saw that.

Is that what you needed to drain my energy for? A new outfit?

[belltolling]

I-it's not just a new outfit ... it's an indicator of my power level, sort of?

[eonsadrift]

Ugh. What's with this all this nonsense..? Why can't you people just have normal powers?

[belltolling]

Well ... It works out in your favor, doesn't it?

[eonsadrift]

It balances out enough, though I'm going to have to get used to the extra mana drain.

[belltolling]

[ she nods ]

That will probably be the most difficult part ... But I'll be trying to make it worth it for you.

[eonsadrift]

The shield was useful enough, and I did feel stronger...

I prefer to finish fights quickly, so it might not be much of an issue. But we'll probably need to practice with it so I don't immediately overexert myeslf.

[belltolling]

[ she nods! ]

There's hostile animals in the forest, aren't there? So if you wanted a place to practice that might be good.

[eonsadrift]

Those things are pathetic. But I guess if we're going to train, we might as well bring home some food while we're at it.

[belltolling]

It's better than practicing on things that we're not sure that we can win against.

[eonsadrift]

There's not exactly a good in-between. It's either those weak things or the creatures in the mist.

[belltolling]

... how difficult are those creatures? Are they challenging for you?

[eonsadrift]

I can kill them but I wouldn't say it's easy. You need to avoid being bit by them at all or you'll turn into a werewolf, so that's an extra annoyance.

[belltolling]

-- What, really?! Well, at least I can shield you, but ... that's scary.

[eonsadrift]

I wonder if your shields would work... a friend and I went in with extra shields and he still got bit.

[belltolling]

... Maybe .. it's still better to be extra careful, then.

[eonsadrift]

With those things, yeah.

...have you read the information document, yet? It should catch you up to speed on all the stupid intricacies of this place.

[belltolling]

Not yet... it's been a bit, um -- busy since I arrived here. But I mean to!

[eonsadrift]

Well go read that, and then get back to me.

[belltolling]

.. alright, I will! I'll study as hard as I can!

[eonsadrift]

We'll see if you can keep up. Good luck.
