Hakim waved his hand at the carnage around them. “I must admit, I was surprised to see you using magic like that. I wasn’t sure if my eyes were playing tricks on at first, but this is a strange situation we find ourselves in. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised.”
“Well, you saw it right.” Riven nodded in acknowledgnt, then cocked his head—and sent Hakim a request to join his party by purely his will to do so. “It indeed was magic.”
[You have invited Hakim to join your party.]
[Hakim has joined your tutorial party—two out of ten spots filled. You are now able to share gained XP, divided among the group with the majority of XP going to those who get the final kill or put in the most effective effort.]

The boy sported a shallow cut where a fist had clipped his forehead, and he shot Riven and Hakim a wary glance. Then he paled when he saw all the death around him, eyes becoming wide while he tried to maintain his balance after being knocked out for a short ti. Still, his focus was primarily on his badly beaten mother, and a look of concern was evident as his sister frantically tried to wake their mom. The older woman’s breathing was Here, for your individual tutorial group, we have prepared the following crafts:
—Smithing
—Cooking
—Clothes Making
—Mapmaking
—Totem Making
—Prophecy
You have seventy-two hours from now to learn and create as much as you can. It is suggested that you concentrate on things that would benefit you in a fight or a trek through the dungeon, though that is up to you in the end. After seventy-two hours, part two of the tutorial, Battle, will comnce. The iron door at the end of the cave will open and you will begin your descent into the tutorial dungeon—or you may stay here and starve.]
