Yim and Jessica each had a "blessed" rune book. Any item that was "blessed" could not be looted from the player. Even though they both had runes to the house, they decided to walk it instead. DS Keep was just north of the city of Brighton.
Misty's character, Yim, stood about 5 feet tall with black hair pulled into two braids and Asian features. She wore the same type of golden armor she had worn when playing Bridget. She was armed with a scimitar and a round wooden shield. She also carried a pair of broad bladed knives, almost the size of short swords, which had been plated in silver so they did extra damage to undead.
Jessica was taller than Yim... at almost 6 feet. She had flaming red hair and wore red armor as well. The armor was styled similar to Yim's. She favored fencing weapons, and carried a slender rapier, something that had finally been included in the game after a large number of players staged a protest. If someone examined the blade closely, a faint green liquid could be detected along it's edge. Jess also carried a complete spell book and a well stocked bag of reagents.
They made their way north, keeping the mountains on their right hand side.
anticipation... greed... lust
Yim held up a hand signaling a stop. She held up three fingers and pointed at the far side of a vendor house. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out a bottle of purple liquid. The average player wouldn't be able to throw a bottle that far, but Yim and Jess were not average players. She lobbed the bottle over the small house and heard the explosion behind it.

rEdDeAtH and Gonzo had the foresight to run before the bottle hit. They charged out on horseback.
"Corp Por," shouted Gonzo and "In Jux Sanct," said Jess, almost at the same time.
Gonzo's energy bolt hit Jess and rebounded right back at him.
"Kal Vas Flam," said Jess, just as the EB struck him. Gonzo erupted in a column of flame.
Yim was already pounding on rEdDeAtH with her gold covered fists. She had started with a flying side kick that had knocked him off his horse.
"Cor... oooff! Ort... oooff! Vas... oooff! Kal... oooff"!!
Each time he tried to cast a spell, Yim would deck him and interrupt it.
"Jeez! Get th... oooff! crazy Bi... oooff! Get her off me"!!
"OOoo Ooo," eX tErMiNaToR and Gonzo both replied in unison.
After looting the corpses of the "Terrible Trio", Yim and Jessi continued on their way. They went through the north mountain pass, checking out some vendors along the way. Finally, they came to the road that ran from Redwood to Evening Prayer. They travelled west until nightfall.
"So...," said Yim, "do you wanna recall or camp out"?
"Oh... what the heck! Let's camp... Hey... there's a barracks or guard tower or something, just before the bridge. Let's go there".
