Rosa squints into the sunlight; it all seemed rather unrealistic- if she pinches herself will she feel it? Everything was so much different than in the game she knew. Wiping her brow, she began walking to the edge of the plaza.  She took the south path; perhaps she'll be able to train a bit and gain some experience.

Shadly:

The west of the city seemed to be filled with more people than the others. Traders were calling from every direction, asking people to buy and sell their goods. Somedays were extremely busy, with several market stalls open for business, others the place was much more settled down. This kind of place was where you could barter for goods that you couldn't find other places. Things such as the trading post were much more reliable and stocked better quality things but they also had a set price. Here, if you were lucky, you could get things you need for a steal. 

Another inn could be seen surrounded by a sizable plot of grass in the middle of town and it was larger than the one by the south. It was also fancier... and it could be inferred, more expensive. Though it was also less likely to bring robbers in it seeing as how guards were situated by the doors to keep watch. 

The blacksmith was down the hill from the flowered cemetery. The NPC could be seen out in the smithery, pounding away at a sword on the anvil.

((Hell yes I struck gold XD))

Shadly looked around her awe struck by what she was seeing. There were so many people bustling about, and so many shiny wares just sitting out.
She could barely see the inn in the distance. It looked so regal, so... imposing. She knew she would have to appear bigger than she was, and get the best quest she could.
Filled with confidence, Shadly strutted towards the inn.

Chosser's eyes flitted down from the sky, a wave of panic rolling over him. Watching one of the players collapse onto the ground, he took a shaky breath, forcing himself into composure. He watched intently as some of the players slipped away, most going South or North.

It would be a good idea to follow them, A voice in his head coached. He found his feet starting South, slowly, before his eyes found another player heading towards the East. He was glancing over his shoulder nervously, as if he didn't want to be followed.

Heartbeat speeding up, Chosser dodged numerous people, racing towards the East, following the other player. He weaved in between buildings, trying to keep an eye on the other player. It was most likely this guy was a Beta Tester, so Chosser wanted to stay with him.

Rounding a corner, he looked around, unable to find the other player. He cursed under his breath, trying to work out where to go next. Hoping to find something, he examined his surroundings.

Rosa:
As Rosa walked down the main street towards the south, there were several things she could notice. There wasn't any NPC's out behind the stalls at the moment though if you peered through the shop windows, you would still see the characters in there.There  were three buildings that were distinctly prominent on the corner of a four way intersection. One of which was a inn with the sign "rest stop available". Another was what looked like a potential trading post for common every day goods and food. The last was a bank. None of these things were likely usuable to Rosa right then but he was welcome to go in them if he wanted to. Who knows what might be inside. 

Past the four way intersection you could see the opened doors of the large arched exit. A few guards were standing beside the door, clearly NPC's as they were not in the plaza. Their hands were clenched tight on their spears as they stood stalk still. They might look threatening in their armor that was far more advanced that any that the newbies might have but they were clearly friendly, judging by the green health bar above their head that you could see if you focused clearly enough.

Shadly:

Approaching the inn, you can more closely see the guards outside, likely hired by the manager of the inn. They are about as bulky as you would expect the city guards to be and the swords on their waists discourage anyone from coming in with ill intent. The house was three stories tall and separate than any other home, unlike the attached building shops you would have seen previously. There is a notice board next to one of the guards that you can't see from this distance and you can hear the sound of music coming from inside the inn.

Shadly saw two imposing beefy guards standing at the inn. She looked down and calculated her appearance. Her clothes were nice enough, she wasn't filthy and she knew if she carried herself just right they would more than likely allow her entrance. She waltzed towards the inn, and walked in.
Whew, no problem.
She released the breath she'd been holding, and approached the front desk. She would be leaving with a quest, she was determined.

"Hell yeah!" Miriam yelled, watching her EXP bar shoot up. It wasn't enough for a level-up, but a few more pigs would fix that. 
"Time to find those serpents," she said, sheathing her sword once more and setting off in the direction she had been going.

Staying too close to the town wasnt a good idea, the number of mob around the area was already small. I ran as far as i could, while still being able to see the town.

Looking curiously at the guards, Rosa decided she should explore the town a tad more - perhaps there would be some hidden opportunity. She heads down the west road.

Chosser

When Chosser took a right, the first think he noticed, store wise, was a bakery. The smell of freshly baked bread and other such treats basically filled the street ways and floated around the lamp posts. There happened to be a few pieces of paper attached to a lamp post but they weren't readable at this distance. Past the bakery you could hear the sounds of clashing metal and swords. If you went to inspect it, lo and behold, there were players battling each other in the fields. You weren't sure if they were gaining experience points, but they were certainly gaining practice.
 A NPC instructor seemed to stand over them, looking over them. A little past that, another shops stood. The sign had the symbol of a armor chest piece, so it was safe to assume you could buy armor there. Different, of course, than a black smith, armories had already prepared armor rather than custom fitted ones. They might not be as good as a custom but they were also cheaper.

The first thing that is noticeable when you enter the inn is how spacious it is. Various tables are layed out in the main room, filled with several NPC's talking over a mug of ale. Another pair of NPC's is playing lively music up on a small stage in the corner. The bar layed out before you has only two or three people in it and as far as you can tell, only one player is actually in here, sitting at a table alone.

The barkeeper and likely runner of this in is a middle aged NPC who is a little on the round side. She seems to have a slightly more strict face about her though it's not all that uncommon for woman bartenders.

Chosser quickly assessed his surroundings, his eyes returning to the practice grounds. It was obvious that this was one of the first places he would need to go. However, he found his feet taking him over to the lamp post, his eyes automatically scanning the papers.

Shadly surveyed the inn, before heading towards the woman standing behind the bar. She put on her best trader face, and plucked herself down on a stool.
"Hello, my name is Shadly,"
she began,
"I'm just out and about looking for some quests to complete, and I thought you may be in need of my services," Shadly smiled, "I mean, a beautiful woman such as yourself, must have something to be done, that she need not bother with herself?" Shadly finished, with a grin.

Miriam:


Miriam continued to get closer to the hunting grounds with each step she took. She was much farther away than any other none beta player had gotten. There began to be several more boars showing up around her, though none of these rumored creatures for the quest.

Angus:

Angus could only go so far while remaining within sight of the city. It wasn't actually all that visible and several players were doing the exact same thing. However, there were a few trees that looked like you could climb if your agility was high enough. It appeared like there might be fruit at the top of the tree but other players seemed to be avoiding the tree for some reason.

As the boars became more numerous and the players went out of sight, Miriam decided she would get some training in. She needed to practice her Parry skill, and with all these boars to herself, she might as well pick off one or two. Taking out her sword and picking up a small pebble from the ground, she threw it at one of the boars and readied to parry.

Those tree seem to be interesting. People were avoiding them which could mean that something might hidden within the shadows. But shadows were also Angus natural habitat. With caution He walked over to inspect them.
