The Bard

While waiting in the dark, our group was yet to be spotted by the enemy. But with those numbers of goblins lurking around us, it would be always too soon, no matter the time. Waiting for the reinforcements, we unaccidentally imitated the manners of those trees around us, silently standing under the shining stars.

,,Hey, so what now? You would be better off creating new character, since you are the only one so far there.“

,,I know, i know.“ I really wanted to play with my friends, but still, it was a hard decision to make.

,,We’re really sorry, we had no clue you were playing the RR, too.“

,,It’s okay. Since you just started, i will catch up with you rather easily.“

There he came. One would say he is almost fluorescent, so vivid were the colors of his clothes.

,,So, what class are you?“

,,I am a bard.“

,,Oh.“

,,But wait, if it’s him, he might be of some use, still.“

,,If nothing else, i at least know the class really well. My deleted character was a bard, too.“

The math class was really good. I just thought of new calculations to make. There are times, when it is better to pick up drops from the monsters even during a fight. And there are times to start running away sooner than later.

This was such a time. I know it was. And they know the me in real life, so the goblins were the only ones not knowing. Following us from behind, the sounds of their furious footsteps did lure the wolves. They did. And finally, our picturesque monsters turned around, as we did few seconds later.

Wolves have this „pack of wolves identity“. When they are attacking, they attack as one man. One lone wolf would not attack different kind of enemies on his own during a fight.

,,Heal their leader, so that he won’t die.“

,,Hm, ok.“

This way, we either kill a wolf, who does not retaliate, or just one, two goblins, thanks to the cleric. We repeated this many times. As did the numbers in my head.

,,Should we go to Magdalene? He’s out of arrows and i think i am in the mood a little rest,

so how about you guys?“

,,Magdalene would be okay. Last time i almost managed to make her blush.“

,,You think?“

,,I think so.“

Magdalene was a shop owner. A really succesfull one. Maybe it was due to the low prices,

but my guess would be her nickname. She was commonly known between players as >Mysterious Magdalene<, since no one really knew, if she was an npc, or not.

I have a theory, that the more you just have to know her identity properly, the more of an idiot you will become. Our knight was the proof.

,,My lady!“

,,Oh, if it’s not the sir…“

,,Escarlet was my name, milady. Escarlet.“

,,Oh, i forgot, i am so sorry.“ I think if he was chasing after you, you would have to.

,,I wrote a new poem for you, milady!“

,,Oh!“

Oh! Uff! Again the same verse?! They just might be to themselves the worst which could have them ever met.

Come to think of it, i repeat the same verse again and again, too.

,,Please, five…“

We had all packed up. Only just one answer was left to be carried with us.

,,And, what… what would you wish for me to bring you, milady?“

,,I don’t know…“

,,A hanky, perhaps? I thought about it and it’s such a shame, that lady of such noble upbringing as you does not have one.“

,,Yes, i would be really grateful for one.“

,,Oh!“

Oh, man!
