The three said that they want to visit the Krag-Luka Mines again but surprisingly Retsu awoken alone in a middle of an uncharted desert, all his latest equipment aren't changed, he looks around for his brothers but sand storm covered his vision, so he walks but with a cracking sound he stepped on something fragile and just stumbled down along the sand dunes and hits his head with something hard but skin like hard, he digs it up he found a leg a right leg to be precise and he dig on the other side and found a worn boot and a leg in it, so he dig until he found... a whole person
A girl with a orange hair tainted by sands in somewhat chivalrous Costume, why is there a cute girl sleeping in a middle of nowhere desert but the storm has gone and opens a clear hot sun, he looks around but found something more than just sands and cacti's it was thousands of fallen soldiers with the same Costume as this girl, is she one of them in that's the case how long have this troops fainted?
With no questions left Retsu Picks the sleeping beauty and find a place safe and more comfortable than this dirty desert like that oasis over the horizon fortunately it wasn't a mirage, he puts the girl down under an extreme bended palm tree, then he tries to log out and it was a success he was worried that something far worse could happen
Retsu Woke up and saw Aoki and Gourin Shaking his Bed, the three explains and it seems that the three of their avatars just got transported to places that is not the Centre of Yggdrasil, Aoki thinks that these places are outside of the low level grid and he shown off the complete map of the game from the forums, retsu found himself in some desert so that could mean that he is in the Riot Worm desert north in the mid level Grid, Quartz Desert of the West Mid level Grid or the Dunes of the pharos West Veteran level Grid.
Gourin woke up in some Dense jungle but there is this high troops of Bugs swarming around a hive made of bones, that hive is a hint which only mean that he is in the Venus Wilderness 200km west in the mid level grid but aoki gives gourin a warning that there is something more dangerous than those bugs it is the Chult Fruit or Players called them Blue Potatoes, they say if you ate it you will beginning to hear screams that will make you last and insane in that jungle until you are lost and never return
"Hey I and brother retsu given some bad spots, how about you mister smart?"
"I was at a village"
"what?! that is cheating!"
"or it was really, everything was burned to the ground, there were no dead bodies lying around which mean that they already left, a village is quite common so it will be hard where I could be"
"so we are separated huh, too bad that AYO is a game where you depending on Maps in papers than on interfaces, but the good thing is our friend from the forums done this kind of things for us, Aoki! You should follow a road and find some signs that will lead you back into the tree, Gourin you know where you are and If we are late try to ask the players some questions"
"what about you brother?"
"I just found a wounded person and im not sure if it's a player or a NPC so I will be lost for quite some time, if you know where I am find me okay"
"okay"
"even if this is a prank, there is nothing we can't solve together as brothers"
Retsu return to AYO, but the girl is nowhere to be found she wouldn't left far so retsu commence an perception check and Use his Troop card to call Pinion trainer, if not use on an encounter user receive Pinion Vision, there is a branch of a dead palm tree leaves, it looks makes a good camouflage in the desert but Retsu does pull it off
He chase after her and calls out to her, she looked back but she runs even faster leaving her camouflage, it's hard because step by step retsu's legs sinks into the dunes but the girl has nowhere to go other than a prickly cliff right in front of them
As the girls enters a big old crack on it and lost retsu's range hid herself in some ancient ruins, wait that is no ruins retsu recognizes that structure from the forums it's the recreated version of petra but as expected this architecture isn't just for display there are villagers aswell shops and stalls lining up on every side and openings of this old cave, but luckly that orange hair fighting the waves of window shoppers helped him spot her
With effort and patients he finally catches up and hold her arm, but in a split moment retsu got the wrong girl, surely he got her but how? But then he was questioned by this girl wore a slik assassin garb and black cloth mask with a white skull painted to it
"why are you chasing the mistress?"
"the what?"
And they both roll initiative, the girl goes first and cast blur on her then she assassinate with this her strategy is only begin, with that blurry figure retsu can't see her normally like he sees the NPCs on the background, he took a deadly critical at the start with no way to counter that, the he tries to hit her but it's a miss she use evasion, which means
This assassin is level 7, 5 levels higher than him if he doesn't do something he will lose before he can plan a counter attack
"You must be a beta tester, like me"
