Chapter 11

What do you find?

A Duo

You find a flash of red and yellow, followed by blindness for a few seconds, is what. The shadows and darkness split, while you now adjust to a light source below. A pair of figures now sit in the empty room around a small campfire.

The tallest one is a woman. Long blonde hair and a staff clutched in her hands, she is obviously a spellcaster but you're not sure what kind, at first, until you notice the gemstones floating in circles around her wrists. Shit. That's a Thaumaturge. They're an advanced class, elemental specialists who have access to massive multi-target spells and worse, one of the only offensive spellcasters to get access to Light elemental spells.

She'd **** you in a heartbeat.

Given her level though, you wager she's just advanced and likely only has a few skills. You don't know if that will matter, but it's something.

The other one is more interesting. He's a lanky, thin man with long black hair and a soft face, sitting by the fire with his hands over a small book with a symbol on it's cover. He is much lower level than his companion and judging from his gear... he's just started off as a Acolyte, the most basic and versatile of buffer/healer classes.

Leaning down, you begin to make out their conversation.

"...and you'll sit here while I go farm Gazers, alright Vel?" The woman asked now, grinning brightly at the anxious man who nodded softly. "Yeah, I got it Nyssa. Thank you again for agreeing to power level me..." He replied. His voice was soft and feminine, easily as much as his friend. He was also an elf, given his ears as he nodded his head. "No sweat Vel! You wanted to play with me and my guild is looking for a raid healer, so its a win for all of us! You just stay here. Gazers can't come in here. See you in a sec!"

The Thaumaturge left, leaving the Acolyte behind now. If you can defeat these two, you'd gain an immense amount of experience, but it won't be easy. Even if you Influenced the acolyte, he's useless in combat and the thaumaturge can wipe you out in an instant. Yet as a spellcaster, she's weak enough you could overpower her if you had enough time...An idea is slowly forming in your head, one that has you loosening your grip on the ceiling.

How do you handle this?
