The Aquatic Engines

Martin managed to get logged in ahead of Lindsay for a change, taking the long, painful dive into Beachhead in his stride.

He could have run ahead and tried to discover the boss of Deep Two before everyone arrived, but instead he detoured to the loathsome marketplace.

The calls of the vendors were loud enough to drown out the slurs being slung his way, and he managed to sell the Rain Tear Crystal for considerably less than he thought it was worth to a Corvan who looked down her beak at him the whole time they were speaking.

700 silver and change was all that he had acquired so far and normally he wouldn’t even think of squandering it on new equipment at this stage, but if the Masters were set on denying him item drops, he would need to take whatever edge he could get.

He discounted new, heavier armor immediately. Fighting in the swamp was hard enough with what he already had weighing him down. There were no players selling equipment on this plaza, but the unmistakable plinking of hammer on anvil drew Martin out into the back alleys. The selection was pathetic; starter gear for the most part with a few vendor trash items in amongst them. The only vaguely interesting weapon – a little axe with a faint glow about it – was so far out of his price range that the Wulvan behind the counter wouldn’t even let him touch it. After a few minutes of haggling, he managed to acquire a fragile looking Obsidian Gladius [9-16 damage] for the low, low price of only all his savings.

With the little change he had left over, he managed to snag a hunk of roast pig from one of the spits on his way out of town. He hadn’t been sure what eating in Strata was going to be like, but it proved to be just as immersive an experience as everything else.

Compared to the crap that he ate in real life, it was probably the single most delicious thing he’d ever tasted, and a quick blink confirmed his suspicion that it had given him a minor buff to stamina regeneration. That was something to keep an eye on for later.

There was definitely some sort of cooking skill available to players judging by the number of vendors with ridiculous names and classes hovering over their heads in the marketplace, and with the heavy reliance on stamina, being able to up its regeneration rate could prove to be absolutely invaluable.
