Nari-Lanreth

Nari paused to glance over at Morningstar, slowly catching the joke and shaking her head in response. Although a slight smile touched her lips, her voice was entirely devoid of amusement when she answered the suggestion that had been almost immediately back peddled. "I'm glad you came to your senses quickly on that one. We're good at hunting them down, but I doubt we'd make good pirates...I mean, don't you need to not hunt down and murder pirates to...you know, be a pirate? Isn't there like a code or something about that?" In fairness, she was far less familiar with the pirate code than

Shaking off the feeling of numbness that had begun to trickle through her meditative moments, she stood up and gave a soft sigh. Already she could see the jump in her statuses, and felt a moment of refreshment at the change in her situation, knowing that she was better off than she had been a few seconds ago. Smiling towards Morningstar, she gave a nod towards the pirates, not realising that he'd even spoken while she'd been focused inwardly in an attempt to recover herself. "What do you say we finish this lot off, and then we can consider a prison...exploration...thing...? Honestly not

Nari winced slightly at Freyd's commentary, giving a soft nod and whispering back towards him as she tried to keep some semblance of awareness of her doings. She had no doubt that she deserved, to some degree, the tone that she'd received from the other player. "I forgot that the dungeon opens based on my leveling, and not the collective...it's a mistake I made that could've cost him his life - not that I'd allow it." She cut off her words, knowing that there was nothing else she could say. She'd made an error, and one that she wouldn't make again. Best to learn from it and move on. Turn

Nari held out her hand as the Mourning Guard approached her, her hand open and awaiting the cypher rune's placement upon her palm. She watched in slight horror, ever growing, as the thing before her reached up and ripped off it's entire head, placing the piece of it's body into her grasp before collapsing to the floor. Silence stretched for a few seconds as Nari's brain tried to process what just happened. When she was able to think - to a degree - again, she slowly turned to Freyd with a horrified look on her face, and opened her mouth. "Gross...gross....GROSSGROSSGROSSGROSS! TAKE IT! TA

She considered the question for a few seconds, wondering what would be worse. Her answer came slowly as she dodged around a few weaker attacks made by the pirates that had continued to swarm forwards, the monotonous, empty expressions a reminder that they were little more than just shells sent to beat them to death by Cardinal itself. A fact that likely would've been unnerving had Nari been paying any attention at all to the individuals in front of her, and not lost in her own thoughts and considerations. "You know, my immediate response would've been death - because that's it, that's th

She couldn't help but laugh at his concerns regarding being arrested, shaking off another weak attempt to bypass her defences as she clicked her tongue back at him in response. "Really? We're getting swarmed by what appears to be the underworld of the skyports - and there's definitely an irony in that, let me tell you - and you're worried about getting arrested before you can break and enter into some locked away area of the map? An area that you're not even sure you can enter...am I getting that right?" A quick glance upwards brought Nari's attention towards another concern, one that sh

They'd gotten into a rhythm now, and as the last of the guards fell beneath Morningstar's blade, Nari began to feel a moment of hope for their success. Although more of the pirates continued to rush forwards and towards them, they were easily being batted aside by the pair - their attacks little more than a nuisance compared to the devastation that Morningstar was bringing to their rank and file. Even her small amounts of technical attacks were helping to quell the tide, even if only slightly. Her gaze slid past the immediate trio of pirates, noticing that the once large wave beyond had

Nari's attacks may have been in vain, however she couldn't help but notice that her efforts were at least giving Morningstar a bit of breathing room to deal with the aspect of overwhelming the pirates and guards that continued to swarm towards them. She kept her shield close, prepared for any attacks that might try and sneak through, all while waiting for an opening that would allow her to lash outwards again and take down a few more of the bandits they were facing. "You know...this may be a bit of a late observation...but I'm starting to think that...staying here and facing off against

"Yeah, I'm okay. A bit more damage than I would've liked, but these shits are as nasty as I can be - maybe not to the same degree, but nasty nonetheless. Adds up over time..." She gave a small huff of laughter at the commentary of the guards becoming pushovers with the captain gone. "You're right, they're going to become a lot easier now that we can stun them. Although I wouldn't say they're entirely pushovers...still have a bit of a bite to them. Best if we bring them down as quickly as possible. Although, I'm not going to be super great at that...I'm built for taking hits, not necessarily gi

An explosion of shards and shattering sounds was all that remained of Ryland's existence as he exploded into the air. Nari felt a single second of disheartening at the possible failure of the quest, before realising that the remaining Dock Guards were still pressing inwards. Raising her shield back to her shoulder, she considered their options as her eyes passed over the complement of various targets before her. The lowered health bar of the Guard Captain came into her view, and Nari gave a nod towards the woman. "I'm gonna take her down, see if that doesn't bring some of the heat off us

"You truly do not mean harm...you are honest in your words." Nari gave a single glance towards Freyd, resisting the urge to roll her eyes in a highly visible manner. Sighing, she gave a soft nod in response, realising that her sarcasm would likely only do more harm than good in the current situation - and although the attacks from the creature had done little to her own health bar, she had noticed the significant dip in Freyd's own; a sign that he had taken more of a beating than Nari liked. One that she wasn't going to force the man to continue with, now that it had appeared as though the gua

She'd strode into the tunnels without apprehension or concern, and as the first wave of creatures had appeared she found herself settling into a natural form, her spear resting on the edge of the shield in a comfortable way. She watched as Wulfrin had launched out towards their opponents, taking the lead and cutting into a trio of them with a wide swing. Smiling slightly wider, she gave a quick bark of enthusiasm as he stepped back away from the creatures, her own smile a mixture of excitement and encouragement towards the new player. "Nice strikes! Clean, good work. See, you've got noth

Chaos erupted around her as Nari turned to meet the dock guards that had come to meet them. She could feel as the defensive mechanics of the guards slammed into her, a reaction from her own strike against them - and she realised far too late that they were built as dangerously as she herself was. To the side she could see as Ryland called out, pulling the attention towards himself even as Nari tried to step in the way of the oncoming danger. She considered, if only for a split second, calling out to the man to shut him up, before realising that it would be useless. The system had decided his r

The thing that had moved turned out to be humanoid indeed, and as the Mourning Guard approached, it's voice beckoned towards them. The cry was far from welcoming however, and Nari found herself glancing towards Freyd for suggestion and support as the creature declared them foe, not friend. Her hands had moved automatically, summoning spear and shield to position as she considered the conflict that was very clearly approaching - a fight that she wasn't even sure they should be having. Apprehension took over and Nari found herself waiting to see what Freyd would do, naturally letting the mo

She gave a soft nod as the other player agreed to look for the dungeon. A quick glance through her inventory confirmed that she had only a single map that she could use in this instance, and as she read the details on it she found herself smiling even broader. Her eyes lifted from the menu as she flipped it around for the other player to read, her expression one of excitement as she spoke. "Well, I've got one single map left...I'd honestly forgotten about this one, but I think it's exactly what we need in this instance - plus, look at all the bonuses it gives! Great for starting out, in your s

No sooner had they noticed the on-going thievery, than they had suddenly been directed to escape from the situation at hand. Nari's eyes had shifted to the skiff in question, wondering why they would run - sure they were outnumbered, but they had the upper hand when it came to conflict in the area. She'd been considering ignoring the directive from the dockmaster, preparing herself instead to greet the coming charge of the pirate folk who were clearly readying themselves. The decision had been taken from her, however, as Morningstar suddenly burst towards the skiff, the decision made in

The soft glow ahead had felt like a blinding spotlight after the everlasting darkness that she had willingly followed Freyd into, her hesitation overcome by the sudden trust she'd felt in the other player. Something about their connection had driven home quickly, and any thoughts of concern had been driven away even as she'd offered to head in blindly - trusting that he'd make sure they made it through safely. The hand on his back had been soft, her touch both firm enough to ensure she knew where he was and which way to head, but also resistant as if she was uncertain about the contact. R

In a show of shards and colours, the beast had disappeared following Nari's final strike. She'd allowed herself to relax only once she'd been sure it was gone - and that nothing else was going to appear in it's place. Giving her shoulders a soft shift, she loosened the muscles that had begun to tense with the conflict. Letting the spear fall back into the groove of her elbow, her standard resting position with the weapon when it wasn't being immediately used or stored, she shifted her attention back to Wulfrin. "I wouldn't exactly call it a simple fight, so much as I came prepared. As to

Wulfrin had moved in for the kill, only to find his feet giving out beneath him. Nari's gaze shifted slightly in order to make sure the man was alright, before returning to the giant bear that had begun to move only a few breaths after Wulfrin's failed assault. Calmly, with an eased practice, she slipped in between the two, placing her own bulk between target and attacker, ensuring the safety of her party member - if only for the moment. Without looking at the man, she called out in answer to his spoken words - knowing he'd been talking to himself, and yet unable to remain quiet on the subject

Nari had the feeling that her words may have caused a decision for the blonde, and almost at once she felt like she may not have been in the right to suggest he follow through with his idea. Still, she knew that there would be no point trying to take it back now - what had been said, had been said, and whatever decision made would likely be near impossible to unmake. Instead, she gave a half shrug to herself and followed along behind Morningstar as he moved towards the NPC she had pointed out. As soon as they'd initiated contact, the NPC had drawn into a typical dialogue - verbiage and te

The bear creature had reacted to her taunt, it's eyes drawn to her form even as Wulfrin rushed forwards to engage it, the blade in the man's hands slashing across the beast's form in a simplistic dance of combat; one which spoke of a more aggressive, than defensive mannerism. Nari's eyes glanced over to the man only to ensure his safety as he rolled through and beyond, content to see that he had placed some distance between himself and the bear through his attack - not that it mattered. The slash of the claw was barely noticed as Nari's armour deflected the majority of the assault agains
