Nari-Lanreth

Nari leaned over the banister and grinned down at Jomei as he welcomed another familiar face - the green-haired knight that Nari had recently met having taken the occasion to dress up in what she assumed was meant to be a rendition of the old Saint Nick, but one that she found far more appealing than the typical red get up that was common. She gave a quick wave to the newcomer, before calling out from above. "Love the outfit, Hirru...honestly a much better take on the typical look. Oh, and Jomei - it's Christmas time, gifts are like, required. Or so I've been told." She glanced about the

Her scythe danced around her as she parried wolf claw and tooth away from her, the creatures suddenly putting up more of a fight as Nari decimated two of their kin. She had no doubts that she'd angered them in some way, their programming likely making them mad at the fact that their pack mates had been destroyed. Not that it mattered to her, she knew she could deal with these two almost as quickly, the moment they provided her the opening. Across from her, she could see Nora cutting down the first of the two deer, and felt her worry alleviate somewhat. She'd never seen the other in comb

Nari had taken a step back as the final target turned its angry gaze upon Jomei, the man clearly itching for the chance to finish it off. Swinging her scythe behind her, she leaned against it ever so slightly, the haft driving into the ground as if to create a tripod for her support. She watched the dazzling light as Jomei activated his skill, before piercing the skeleton with enough force to turn it into a collection of shining shards, left to float down onto the ground and disappear from existence. "No town...certainly does give us a lot more freedom." She pondered the words for a mome

The blade connected with the phoenix, causing it to freeze in place as Nari's companion came rushing up the far side, slamming her longsword into the phoenix and forcing the health bar down further. Already, things were going well - reminding Nari that this thing wasn't nearly as dangerous as she'd worried about, originally. Don't let your guard down. Don't forget what happened... She shook her head, she couldn't be thinking about that memory, not now. Instead, she chose to focus on the phoenix, on the things eyes that stared at her with a fury that Nari could only guess at. "Wait

"Well, we better get you up there, then...shouldn't we?" Onóra suddenly said, before pushing herself to her feet. Nari glanced up at the blonde, who nodded towards the phoenix exploding from the lava river once more, spreading its wings in a shower of flaming liquid that seemed to disappear as it hit the ground. Nari quickly pulled herself to her feet, sending a brief smile towards Onóra before setting off in the direction of the phoenix. She put aside the considerations of Onóra, and what had her upset, promising to visit it again as soon as they'd defeated the phoenix once more. There

"So that's your big plan, then? Join the assault against the floor boss once they frontliners have found it?" There was no judgement in her voice, no negativity about the concept at all. A simple question of fact, meant to bring clarity to her intentions and nothing more. "Mmm...that's the plan, yeah. Even got myself into a scouting party." She smiled gently at the thought. It was the second time she'd be attempting to scout the labyrinth, the first having faltered and failed after they all got separated and had to return without any success. She'd heard much the same from a few other pa

Nari smiled briefly as Jomei strode past, before shaking her head and following the ginger. Her eyes roamed around the castle, the clean and liveable entrance giving way as they went deeper through the hallways, before they came upon what was clearly a destitute and aged home; something that had seen no care or upkeep for some time. Where the entrance had contained an almost welcoming vibe, the inner hallways and rooms showed the true state of the castle and keep - something left to the care of others whom had left long ago, leaving it to rot and disintegrate as time willed it. "Lovely pl

The explosion of shards glittered against the red glow caused by the numerous lava rivers and volcanic eruptions in the area, each seemingly glittering in a shift of blue and red as they slowly fell towards the ground before disappearing from sight entirely. Nari took a few steps towards Onóra, smiling as she glanced around at the now empty area that they stood in. They'd managed to clear away a good portion of the naturally spawning creatures, as well as the field boss in only a couple hours of time - something that Nari knew the two should be impressed about. "We survived. Guess that's

Nari's side glance towards the other player confirmed that they were alright, if for the moment. It appeared as though they had been pushed back ever so slightly - the deer giving more problems than they'd likely originally expected - but nothing about the situation overly concerned her. At least, not yet. Her attention returned to the wolves that had begun to surround her, the stun effect wearing off and leaving them pacing in preparation, as if looking for an opening in her defences. She smiled as she swung the scythe back behind her into her normal ready stance as her eyes shifted ov

The vultures scattered as Nari approached, spreading out in numerous directions in order to avoid her reach - or at least, in an attempt to avoid her reach. She let the scythe slip ever so slightly in her grip as she brought it around in a twirl, just enough that the reach extended to catch the first two of the flying vultures and send them slamming into the ground as the weapon came around; the force carrying through and using her momentum to cause the stun effect on the two creatures without fault. Nari spun again - turning to face the two other vultures that had managed to slip to her

The silence fell between the two of them for a while, content to set it rest and simply enjoy the comfort of one another. Nari felt herself slowly falling asleep; the combination of the warmth in the air, the rock and just the general tiredness she was feeling after the conflict finally getting to her. It wasn't long before the inactivity got to Nari, and she found herself fidgeting in place, trying desperately to remain still and yet unable to do so. "Alright...fine, I get it. You can't stay here any longer, let's go do something." Onóra sighed even as she forced herself up, Nari quick

"Would you...bring that back!" Nari called out to the small kitsune that was running across the open recording studio, her notebook in mouth as it found itself drawing the purple-haired woman into a game of chase. "I swear if I catch you..." The threat went unfinished as Nari managed to swipe the kitsune's back legs with her arm, causing it to drop the notebook before skittering to the other side of the piano, out of Nari's reach. "Aha! Alright...now I've gotta do some work...we'll play in a few moments, alright?"

Onóra laughed in response, waving a hand in the air as if shooing something away. She shook her head, before settling in against the rock, and Nari. The warmth of the air had already been pressing in against Nari, making her uncomfortable, but the extra body heat was enough to make her thankful that the system didn't allow them to sweat. A brief second of consideration, and then she was pushing back against the other woman, trying to ignore the heat and find a comfortable position. "Nah...I just need a break. And this damned heat isn't helping, either. Why did they have to make this place

She let out a breath as the final vulture exploded into the air, leaving the two women standing alone in the rocky terrain. Onóra gave her a quick thumbs up, before checking her menu quickly, leaving Nari to glance around. They'd managed to clear two of the mobs, but she figured they could easily take out something else while they were here - if they had the desire to do so. Her eyes roamed the area, looking over elementals and more of the vultures, before landing on a nearby group. Her body shifted to move, when Onóra spoke up, stopping her mid-movement. "Maybe a bit of a break? That last fig

Nari giggled at the words that escaped the ginger, before looking back at the door they had entered through. Almost instinctively, her response slipped from her own lips, a tinge of sarcasm drawling them. "What...does that mean you're not looking forward to the walk back, either? And here I thought you were all about that snow and cold and wind!" Turning back to the area they'd just entered, Nari let her gaze roam over what was clearly meant to be a rendition of a medieval styled castle, designed with all the flares and flashings that one would expect to find in a building made for the la

"What the-" The words barely made it out of Nari's mouth as she let her momentum tip her, forcing her hard into the ground - but avoiding the retaliatory strike that had been coming her way. While her own attack had missed the vulture, Nari had also avoided being impaled by the thing's second talon, which had made its way overtop of her weapon and directly towards her face. "Drive it back! I need to reset myself..." Nari rolled to her feet as she called out to the blonde, forcing herself to stand and bring her weapon back into its ready position. She eyed the vulture as she considered h

The first three exploded in a shower of shards as Nari completed a slide underneath their talons, before bringing the scythe up and around to cleave through the trio all at once. She took a single second to catch her breath, before turning to find the final creature still engaged with Onóra. So far, it looked like the blonde had managed to push back the creature, even going to far as to whittle it down ever so slightly. "Any day now...would be nice..." The blonde called out, parrying yet another attack before stepping back out of the way of the creature's wing strike. Nari moved slowly,

Nari's scythe swung through the air, slamming into one, then another of the vultures as she tried to obliterate the group as quickly as possible. She continued her dance of death, letting the blade whirl around her in a dangerous way - but making sure to stay well and clear of her friend. As the first three quickly fell beneath her blows - the stun effect taking over their bodies and causing them to halt momentarily, Nari turned to find the fourth and final missing from the pack. A curse left her lips as she spun to find it engaged with Onóra, the blonde parrying blow after blow in an at

Nari sighed as the first group of vultures disappeared, blowing into shards and drifting on the fake wind for a single moment. She turned to face Onóra with a grin, before waving a hand at the next group. "Alright...easy pickings around here, yeah? Should we continue a bit, or are you feeling like we should be done here?" The blonde stuck her tongue out, before rushing off without a word. Nari shook her head, following a few steps behind Onóra. The second pack - another group of the vultures - seemed to watch their approach, as if trying to anticipate what they would do. Nari had never s

The vultures made it easy, turning to face the two charging women as they approached. Nari didn't waste time, splitting off to the left side of the group to give herself an angle before pushing off and twisting her body, letting her spin continue to carry her forward momentum, and loosing her grip on the scythe ever so slightly to stop it from being entirely rigid. She felt, and saw, as the blade slammed into two of the vultures, sending them careening to the ground to lay stunned for the moment, before her weapon continued through and sliced the final two. She stepped back then, letting

It had been some time since Nari had last visited the second floor. With how far she'd come, there hadn't been much need to return to the lower location; the upper levels providing almost everything she needed and more - and all of it at a proper cost. Still, she found herself standing in the centre of the coutryard of Urbus, glancing around at the thin crowd that moved throughout the small city settlement. Most were NPCs - those stuck here for all eternity, based upon their programming and designs. A few players moved throughout - those who had fallen behind the forward push; either du

After a while, Nari pushed herself up off the ground, realising that they couldn't stay there forever. Onóra glanced up at her, before pulling herself up and stepping up beside Nari. "Shall we?" The longsword was in her hand again, held in a comfortable manner that bespoke someone who was used to wielding it. Nari took a single glance at the sword, before making up her mind. It would be a shame to come all this way...even with the danger. Besides, a few basic mobs shouldn't be a problem, not here... "Yeah, let's get this done. Sooner we clear this area, sooner we can face that thin

Neither landed a hit, the two dancing around one another as Fae continued to try and get past the defences of the heavily skinned troll. In turn, the troll was unable to keep up with Fae's natural speed - far superior to the troll's slow, almost robust movements that left Fae a good distance away before it had even completed its swing. What little worry Nari had originally, dissipated as she watched the two dance their trial of combat. Fae was clearly at an advantage for speed - so long as she was able to find a way through the thing's armour, she'd be able to take it down without any con
