Anise

Anise saw the heavy armoured woman attack ahead of her, probably to get th mob consentrated on her to leave Anise out of danger. Anise was glad for that, one day she would pay back for all help Zandra have given her. When she saw the boss she almost got stunned by what she saw. There was a wasp as tall as a human. She looked at it with big eyes. A few moments later she got together and returned to reality. She had a task to do. Now that she had leveled up, she could do a stronger sword art and she wasnt to try it out. She bent her knees, focused on the insect before charging forward, closing the gap with one single thrust and slashed the bug. She saw the health drop down to zero and it exploded into crystals.

After some time Anise could hear some buzzing sound up ahead. She thougth it came from the bos, probably there isnt many other thing nearby that can make such a sound and so loud unless it was some kind of big flying insect. A few seconds later she got it confirmed from Zandra. It was the boss they was here to engage that made that buzzing sound. Anise took a firmer grip on her two handed sword, with both hands this time. She took a deep breath.''Now Im as ready as I will ever be before fighting something I havent seen before.''

Anise looked deep into the forest where the queen was lurking somewhere. It was getting more exiting the closet they get to the fight. She have only fought two fights by now  both was close to be her last. But with the new gear it shouldnt be as dangerous. She looked down at her weapon. It did increased her damage quite alot. She couldnt wait to try it out. They continued their walk. Anise wondered what the mob looked like. She only knew that it wad called the queen. Maybe it was some kind of insect. Well, she would probably not have to wait long to find out.

So the crimson eye woman infront of her now was ready too, time to move out. The two females headed towards the forest, not saying a word to each others during the whole trip to the border of the forest. The only sound they herd was winds friction on the grassstraws. Anise closed her eyes and take in the feel of the cold smooth breeze. She almost wanted to take a break and just breath in the wonderful air. She could never have imagined that something could be this wonderful in this death game they have been stuck in.

This was quite a good result. Three of eight was succesfully founded and only one had became locked. Time to go for the next step. Now she took one of her steel knifes and scratched the surface of the armour. Not to destroy or damage it, it only left a faint scratch. But from this, she could tell the hardness of the metal. Thou the method wasnt succesful on the first piece. Neither on the second. But on the third it seemed it was so hard, so it was dangerous to attack the wielder with the risk of beeing countered by it. Thou the fourth was as big as a fial like the first two. The three she had left she still had some methods she havent tried yet. This time she took the hammer and hammered it, very lightly. Just to hear the echo of the sound and try to find out anything from that. This was succeded with two of them. But she still had one piece laying on the workbench. She stared at it to think about a way to find what secret was hidden inside it. She took it and placed it under her microscope. Then she saw it. The thin red wines that went back and forth over the metal, invisible to the human eye. She took another book and browsed it. Just as she thougth, those wines made it possible for the wielder to regain some health when beeing hit. This was the last piece, so she sent away an mail with all the information to the evaluation staffs and then sat down. Not until now she felt how tired she realy was. After a long deep breath, she closed her eyes, and almost immediatly fell asleep.

Now Anise had got the two items she needed to make the most out of her appraisal tries. She started with making a list on how many tries on each item she was gonna do. When she was done she started to appraise. First she went with Antofers items. It didnt took her long time to look at the Katana and see that it was nothing special with it then already written in the information. She putted it to the side and started with the gloves. From the first try, she thougth she did see something, but couldnt realy see exactly what it was. So she decided to try again. This time it went a little better, she could see that the metal had something other then defensive power in it. She decided to give it one more shot. This time she found it. They actually was able to retaliate if the wearer getting hit. Satisfied with herself, she placed them to the side and started with the next customers items.

She started looking at the jacket. This time as well she thougth she saw something, but couldnt place the finger on it. After a second try she decided it wasnt worth it and went to the sword. At first, there seemed something special with it. So after a second try, when placing it in her stationeary balancing, she saw it was much more well balanced then the rough beginner swords. She placed it to the side as well to start her biggest order.

She took all eight of Macradons armour pieces and placed them beside each other. They all was pretty well made, and she wasnt sure she was gonna find anything special that Macradon havent intended them to have. But she went to work anyway. She started with weighting all of them. Since due to the weight, you could find out what desity the material had. The first one, she couldnt tell a thing about. It would go on to next step. The second thou, was made of a pretty heavy material. Anise took forth a book and looked thru it. It seemed to be made of a special metal that gave you increased momentum. The third one was also special. The metal was almost too ligth to its thickness so the enemys attack would bunce and hit the attacker himself too. The next two gave no information either. She started to get annoying and totaly failed with the sixth. Thou that made her get back her consentration and the seventh had a special trait of metal that returns energy to the wielder when beeing hit.

Anise entered the blacksmith once again. She had got an notification her items was done. She have got a tons of requests to appraise. And Macradon have dropped off a total of sixty materials to use. Hopefully it would turn out any good. The microscope she had order should hopefully get in handy for it.''Heya Macradon. You said my items was done, Im here to pick them up.'' When she got the items she looked at it with big eyes.''Wow, they are beutiful. This is hopefully gonna turn out realy good. Thank you Macradon.'' she made a quick bow and hurried out, wanted to start her appraisals.

+Microscope x1
+Steel tools x1

''Yepp, I got it from Macradon, just as you suggested. I also ordered two items for my shop, a microscope and some better quality tools. Im realy looking forward to try it out when he is done.'' then Zandra said that this time she would just be an watcher, today she would fight as well.''Of course, Im all set when you are ready to go.'' she took her new two handed straigth sword, held it with one hand on the handle and the blade on her shoulder.''Well, since you have already done the quest, I let you go first.'' she asid to Zandra with a smile.

Anise walked out into the shop from behind and saw she had a customer.''Oh hi there.'' the man had three items he wanted appraised.''Very well, I better get to work then.'' She started with the curved sword. She held it against the sun at the cave entrance to see if there was any reflections that would give her any clues of any possible enchantments. But nothing she could see.''Darn it. Well hopefully the gloves gonna turn out better.'' She picked up the gloves and tried them herself. She then took them and turned them inside out, hopefully going to see any useful information from the inside. But just like the sword, there was nothing to be seen. Thou she was lucky neither of them got locked. Then she picked up the cloak, by some reason she felt it would turn out better this time. When she looked closely on the fabric, she saw just like Antofer said, it was made of a fabric that can make deep wounds from barely touching it. But she saw something was different with the edge of the cloak. She saw a thin wave looking pattern in a ligthly darker colour then the cloaks main colour. She hurried to her bookshelfs and took forth a book about different patterns on fabrics. After some searching she found the page and compared the two. A huge smile appeared on her lips.''The sword and the gloves I didnt found anything on, thou I can appraise them again if you want. But the cloak have this pattern, that makes you better on hitting your opponent after the opponent had failed to land a strike on you.''

+16 EXP

Anises business havent started that good. Maybe because she was just that, a beginner. But she have herd that some proffessions can craft items that can increase theirs and others skills. She entered her first customers blacksmith, and now she was the customer."Hi there Macradon. Im Anise, the merchant that appraised your bracers and also a friend to Zandra. She recomended to go here." She paused to take a look around in the shop. Suddenly here was drawn to a greatsword. She knew in same second that she must have it."I'll take that sword."she said and pointed at 'the crusader'. A few moments later she saw a pair of steel pouldrons."I take those as well." Then she walked over to the smithy and filled in orders for two items."I'd also like a microscope for my appraisals and some nice steel or other more refined material tools instead of my current iron ones. Zandra gonna drop by later and pay for it." She handef over the order.

A boy entered the shop, she had realy been up over her ears with work to do, and now she had more. But actually it was a good thing. The more work she had, the more she would increase in rank and more gold and materials would she get. But also, what would she do if not working here. Be out on adventure and earn her living in other ways. Sadly she was way to low level for that at the moment. Well better get started if I wants to be done with it soon enough. So she took the suit from the boy and started to inspect it. There didnt seemed to be any special enchantments that she could see. But maybe if she give it another shot. But this time it went even worse. The item got locked.''Oh Im sorry, I did appraised it twice but couldnt find anything. Also the second time it got locked, sorry. But if there is any more items you want appraised I can give it a shot.''

Anise sat on a bench and inspected her beginner sword, that wasnt much more then a long flat metalstick that sharp on the edges and a uncomfortable wooden handle, when she herd the sound from the warp gate which meant someone have arrive. Anise looked up and saw it wad her blackhaired new friend."Oh hi Zandra!" She shouted to get her attention. She raised and waved her hand to make sute she didnt miss her. When her long haired froend get closer Anise met with a friendly smile on her lips.

Anise took out a one handed sword from her general shop dilevery cart. She held it against the sun and looked for any traces of anything special. After some time she could see some faint runemarkings on the hilt. On an even closer look and when comparing to one of her books, she saw it was powerrune, which means this weapon actually was more powerful then it first looked. Exited of her success she looked at it again, hoped to find some other clues. But she had been to greedy and a note poped up that said the sword had been locked.''Damnit!'' she said to herself while picking up an light armour to examine it. Luckily it didnt got locked, bbut she didnt founded anything on it.''Well, I got a uncommon sword for you, thou it became locked.'' she said and handed over the sword to Zandra.

Anise took a deep breath. Now the white haired man was serious.He handed over thirty materials, if she wouldnt succeed now, then she realy had to be ashamed. She got an idea. She picked up a hammer in solid stone. It wouldnt work as a tool to build something, nor as a weapon in combat. It was only a inspection tool. She used it and made one smooth but powerful hit on it. It didnt made any markings but she immediatly recognized the sound. She placed the amrour and hammer on the workbench and went to her bookshelf. There she looked after a special book and opened it. After a few seconds she found the page she was looking for.''There. They have trace of a special metal called sea-iron. Armours thats partially made of it have the power to healt the user of it. So these actually have healing power as well.'' she said and handed back the bracers, now of perfect quality.

Anise was sitting in her cave, waiting for any customers to show up. After Macradons visit, there have been pretty calm. But on the other hand it had only been open for a day or two. She cant expect to have customers standing in que before getting a reputation. She also needed to make some commersial. But doing that as a level four wouldnt be very respect given. So she contacted Zandra so they could go on another quest together. This time some with a little more skill point reward to boost her level up, to get closer to twentyfive so she could join up in that event.

Doing this with the help of Zandra Zvift

This man seemed stubborn and realy wanted her to find something good on this armour of his. Anise felt almost mean. She consumed material after material and he didnt got anything at all out of it. She took a deep breath, he had given her yet another material which would make her able to do another try. This time she wondered if she could get any clue from knocking on it. She held the armour piece close to her ear and hitted it with her knuckles. Thou she couldnt hear anything special.''Im sorry. I couldnt found out anything now either. If you want me to keep on it, maybe you can give me so many materials youre ready to pay and I try until I succeed or it gets locked and then you get back the remaining materials?''

Anise took the vambraces to inspect it again, hopefully getting better luck this time. She placed the armour back at the workbench. This time she would not let the man down by failing. She took a deep breath. She looked at it even closer this time, hopefully find any clues that she missed last time. But there was none she could find, she tried to hold it against the light to see how the light reflected in the metal, hopefully that would give some information or clue. But it didnt helped.''Im sorry mister, but Ive just started and isnt that good at appraising just yet. Thou Im gonna work hard and hopefully some day be better at it.'' she said and handed back the armour.

Anise was entertaining herself with throwing a rock on a stick that she had hammered down in the ground. Suddenly she got interrupted in her boredom by a male voice. She looked up and saw a white haired young man clad in heavy armour. He introduced with a hallo and Anise greeted back. Then he handed over a pair of bracers that he wanted appraised. Then he gave her a material as well since that was her price. But only because she needed one material to appraise. She took the bracers and placed them on her workbench. She started by looking at the material it was made off. Some kind of metal. A drop of sweat appeared on her forehead as she tried to found out anything more about it. Then the material broke which meant her time was up.''Im sorry, I couldnt find anything. Thou luckily I didnt locked it so if you want to I can try again for one more material.''

Identify

Right outside of Snowfrost in a small mountain, there is a cave with a sturdy log wall covering the opeing with a sturdy wooden door in the middle.
Above the door is a sign with the text ''the Frozen Cave''. Inside there is as cold as outside but you are covered from the harsh wind and falling snow. It looks pretty simple,
not any fancy stuff, just a basic table with a few chairs, a workbench and some shelfs with the different items offered.
 On one of the chair sits a short girl with crimson hair and red eyes. She looks up at you with a sinister smile.''Hello there, can I help you?''

22 hours later the short red haired girl comes back to the elf at the sign up."Ehm... I know its not much but Im still low leveled. If you comes back next year I gonna give you snowflakes a hundredfault." She hands over the three snowflakes she gathered during her latest quest.
