Marius

Unsurprisingly, Marius hadn't exactly gone out of his way to prepare anything in particular for this quest. He hadn't known what he was getting himself in for but chose not to worry about all of that in the beginning, considering the fact that most things on the first floor couldn't exactly harm him in any meaningful way. Well... There was that dragon that he had seen Freyd and his familiar take on upon their initial meeting but that didn't exactly seem to be the kind of thing that would appear in the docks. "Right, of course, consumables. I have a few of those but they are really only for hea

Not wanting to be rude, the elderly gentleman would go out of his way to shake ChaseR's hand. This was probably the most at ease that he had been around another person on this game, aside from his grandson. The fact that he had really only met one other person that he had managed to get along with up to this point definitely contributed to that factor though. "Level ninety huh? That is certainly a rather impressive feat! You must be working quite hard to clear the game at this point. I commend you for this fact, Chase." It was likely going to take quite a bit of time before Marius could ever c

Having been a little lost in his thoughts, this elderly gentleman would jump briefly at the sound of a young man's voice. His line of questioning wasn't one that he had really anticipated anyone answering for him so the advice had been appreciated but the sudden appearance had assuredly caught him off guard. "O-oh! My apologies young man, I hadn't seen you there." A bit of an awkward laugh would escape from Marius's lips as he had begun to rub at the back of his head. "The fisherman is down by the docks, you say? I suppose that that does indeed make some sense. Thank you for the assistance!"

Previous Thread Not only had Marius succeeded in completing <<The First Lesson>> but they had even gone as far as to complete <<The Second Lesson>> in what had felt like record breaking time! Both of those quests had been rather instrumental in enhancing his level to the point in which it had been now and they would be known to him as some of the priority quests that had ensured that he have the ability to protect his grandson in this world. That said though, both of these quests had been rather tiring with how quickly he had tried to persevere through them. Hopefu

A few curt nods would be offered to the mousy brown haired man before him. From the sound of it, this tracking skill was something that would come in handy in the future. Especially considering that it was something that had fallen under the Searching skill that Marius had been aiming for. If he were capable of increasing his searching ability than he would likely have an easier time searching for materials in the future, which would in turn benefit his shop. "I see, I see. I'll definitely have to do a bit more digging into things like this. Find ways to be more useful in the future. Running a

Returning back to Lyle's blacksmithing shop had been a relatively simple task. It wasn't too far from the location in which he had fought the <<Mama Boar>> and he had more or less remembered the way back without the mini map. Re-entering the dimly lit shop, Marius would turn his attention towards the grey bearded blacksmith. "Right, Lyle, I'm back with those tusks that you were looking for." With this, Lyle would give Marius a curt nod of approval as Marius had handed the tusks on over to him. "I use these on hilts," he explains simply, before setting the items aside. "Now, I'll ha

From the looks of things, it would appear as though the <<Mama Boar>> had been rather close to death. It's health bar had been flashing red and seemed to be near its end. After all of his hard work, it had almost seemed as though he was going to come out on top. A soft smile would begin to curl upon his lips as he would attempt to slam his warhammer directly into the side of the <<Mama Boar>> for one last time. Unfortunately for him though, he had been too slow in this final attempt and the <Mama Boar>> had managed to slip by him unscathed. From there it would

With each passing moment, Marius would find himself getting closer and closer to his achieved goal. He was slowly working towards increasing his level and towards being a respectable enough level to protect his grandson and help everyone clear this floor. It wasn't going to be easy for him to do this alone though and as such, he was likely going to need to try and spend more time with those in his guild. Perhaps those in Firm Anima would be willing to come out with him in the future? It would definitely speed up the process of everything that he needs to do. While considering what kind of

Just as before, Marius was going to need to give everything that he had to this fight if he had planned on coming out on top. Now he had known to be a little more careful with the task at hand though. He wasn't quite sure what was going on with his physical body but if he wasn't careful, it was possible that things would get worse. "R-right... Come on <<Mama Boar>>... We've almost got this." It probably wasn't right for him to be goading this mob towards its death but he had to do something to keep his perseverance going. These kinds of fights were likely to draw out until he was s

On and on the wheels of time turn as the battle continues ever onward. Marius is currently lying on the ground while clutching at his chest and things couldn't be looking any worse for him. Even with his health in a relatively good position, if his physical body were to give out than he would surely die in this game. Or would he? This is certainly a topic at hand that he is rather curious about, given that his consciousness is currently trapped within Sword Art Online, but it wasn't a theory that he was willing to test. Thankfully the chest pangs would cease rather quickly and the elderly gent

Having more or less decided to continue on with his current onslaught, Marius would attempt to smack the <<Mama Boar>> with his warhammer yet again. Before he could manage to do as much though, Marius could feel his heart beginning to flutter. Did this have something to do with his old age? Quite possibly. Regardless of the source, Marius would find himself clutching at his chest for a moment, rather than fighting against his current combative opponent. This had given the <<Mama Boar>> a free hit in on the elderly gentleman. One that had been used in a manner similar to

By this point in the fight, there wasn't really any method that Marius could switch to to make things any easier for himself. He was just going to need to continue doing what he had been doing up to this point. If he continues to hit the <<Mama Boar>> until the thing finally lands a non-critical hit against him than he can chip away its health and make things easier for himself. This time around, when the <<Mama Boar>> had decided to try and hit him with its tusk, Marius had been prepared enough to duck under the tusk and to use that open space to slam his warhammer aga

"I'm really going to need you to do me a favor and die, <<Mama Boar>>. As much as I just love fighting with you in this little bout of ours, I can most assuredly tell you that I am growing kind tired of you!" It was too bad that there wasn't much that Marius could really do here but maybe after about ten minutes or so, he would succeed in bringing down this beast on his own. It had already felt like a pretty extensive amount of time but realistically, it had more or less been about a minute or two since the fight had started. During fights like these, time can really drag on. Tryin

Even with how long the battle between this duo had been going on, there was no sign of either wavering. Both the mob and the player held no reservations about what most be done but it would seem as though they were more or less evenly matched. Who truly held the upper hand here between the two of them though? It was undoubtedly the <<Mama Boar>>. Even with his mitigation factor being so much higher than the <<Mama Boar>>'s, Marius just hadn't been skilled enough with his warhammer to do anything all that efficient with it. That could be part of the reason why he would g

Continuing on with his battle against the enraged <<Mama Boar>>, Marius would attempt to swivel around the large boar and attack it from behind. He knew that this likely wouldn't work given his limited mobility and maneuverability while in his heavy armor but decided to try and give it a whirl anyways. Anything that could grant him an upper hand here would have been enough. While rushing towards the back of this <<Mama Boar>>, Marius would attempt to swing towards it's hindquarters. This wasn't something that the <<Mama Boar>> had been too inclined to accept

It would appear as though Mairus had riled up this beast to a degree that he hadn't noticed. This thing was coming for every vital organ that it could and with enough aggression to which Marius was actually starting to get a little worried. Sure his armor was capable of defending him from the <<Mama Boar>> but if he were to keep missing while she kept lashing out like this, would he really be able to come out on top here? "No, no. Don't think like that! We have to focus on bringing down the <<Mama Boar>> and returning to Lyle. We must remain safe and grow strong for Ere

From the looks of it, this elderly gentleman has succeeded in getting the <<Mama Boar>> to about half health. It appears to have just a sliver more before it would be dropped into yellow territory and if nothing else, that shows how much effort Marius has been trying to put into this fight. Even with one of the worst possible weapons that one could have at this level, Marius has managed to get this beast down to a level that more or less seems to be working out for him. This was enough to bring joy to the old man's heart, even if he wasn't exactly doing all that well. "Well if noth

Yet another round of this bout would continue on and the two still hadn't grown even slightly weary. Every attack that was dealt had been a basic attack to the best of their ability and unfortunately for the both of them, that just wasn't enough to make things move faster. In fact, it was thanks to these typical basic attacks that the fight had been drawing out to such an extent. That was alright though as things were about to kick up in speed a bit. As the two would come to clash with one another yet again, Marius would take the time to slam his warhammer against the <<Mama Boar>>

Just as the running theme to this fight was being developed, the fighters in this particular endeavor had been pushing one another past their own limits. Even with everything that has happened between the two of them up to this point, there wasn't a decisive winner at the moment. If it were to become a battle of attrition than Marius would most certainly hold out before the <<Mama Bear>> could drop him but hopefully it would just off itself by ramming into him with a regular hit. The time for that bit isn't now though as Marius would swing out at the beast and ram his warhammer int
