"Luck mostly, I guess." Takao said in response to Avilon, a slight shrug of his shoulders prefacing the words. He took a step forward and allowed for gravity to slide him down the small dune. As his boots landed upon slightly more solid and considerably more flat ground, Takao reached over his shoulder and hefted the blade out of the scabbard on his back.

"He has the right idea," He answered, momentarily turning himself around to walk backwards while addressing the group behind him. "I don't have howl 'er fighting spirit either, so we'll have to raise hate manually. Just keep track of your hits and don't attack if it'll put you on equal hate with us. Ebony and I will take point. You two'll be in the middle," Takao said, gesturing toward Avilon and Shirien. "And Niko'll take up the back in case anything sneaks up on us. We should be safe up 'til the boss that way... Sound good?" He said, ensuring that they were given the chance to voice any opposition if they felt the urge to before he turned and set his eyes on the dungeon entrance. It was much larger up close than the distance had originally alluded to, and the untouched spoils within were theirs for the taking.

Takao took the first steps inside, his sword held slightly to the side. The entrance to the dungeon was submerged in sand, which spilled into the first room. The walls were carved sandstone with illegible writings and diagrams for atmosphere. Light bled through the small opening but didn't reach very far before the darkness within took over. When his boots left the sand and finally hit hard, solid ground, unseen torches mounted on the walls began to light themselves aflame. Each torch lit as he passed by it, illuminating the dark hallway. His search skill, in collaboration with the reveal and detect modules, were quick to alert him to the unseen presence of a group of monsters approaching from around the corner. With his sword in hand, Takao engaged them first. As the four sword wielding monsters leapt from the corner, the first was met with the sole of Takao's boot. He kicked it into the next monster standing directly behind it, momentarily incapacitating them. After effortlessly falling into a practiced stance to activate a sword art, Takao's shimmering blade knocked the third monster's sword aside and quickly cleaved through its midsection. The fourth monster stood between him and the first two, who were still clambering back to their feet. In a single swift motion, Takao evaded the monster's wide swing and rolled across its back, hooking his offhand's arm around the Kobold's and using his own momentum to throw it into the first two monsters. With the three lined up nicely, the brunet stepped forward and ran the trio through with the final hit of his sword art.

All four monsters were shattered into colourful polygons in a matter of seconds. Without missing a step, Takao glanced down the left path of the T-Junction and pointed with his sword. "This way, other one's a dead end."

[Ebony 0]

(OOC: Any mobs spawned that are going to count towards the dungeon need to meet floor requirements.)

Ebony followed Takao into the dungeon, not informing the others of her own stats as Nik had as she didnt want to seem like she was bragging. She equipped her shield and attatched the black rose hairpin to her hair, her glove already equipped as usual. Unsurprisingly, Takao had no trouble with the first group of enemies, destroying them before they could even attack him. Ebony supposed that if he kept doing so well she would be playing more the part of the healer than the part of a tank.

[Avilon 0]

Avilon glanced over toward her crew decided it was probably in her best interest not to get in the way of the rest of the team, her hands now sliding about her as she nibbled upon her lip. She frowned wishing she could have been of more use to the crowds about her but without any of her own equipment or some levels behind her she didn't feel safe. She probably wouldn't have felt that way even with four or five level to her name. "I'll just follow you all in then I suppose," she murmured softly and casting her gaze down toward the ground as she went to follow behind Ebony as she was the first person Avilon had met in this game.

[Shirien 0]

Shirien grit his teeth as he was already seeing how this was going. He was weak, he would never think to deny it, but he refused to be carried entirely. It was a matter of pride more than anything else, even if he made no real impact he insisted that he contribute in some manner. "Well, time to play the actual role.." he mutters before slinking into the shadows and ahead of the rest of the group. He was visible to his party members but that didn't stop him. He figured that Niko and he deserved at least minimal action, so he found a straggling monster juuuust for him while Takao was busy one shotting everything. With his target in sight he runs up behind the monster and jabs his dagger clean through the monster's armor and into its spine, pulling back and to the side as he calls "Want to show this guy what you got, Niko!?" while waiting for any eventual counters if it didn't die. He still had just enough energy for an actually offensive ability rather than support.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Using his <Concentration> skill, Nikodemus focused on the <<Kobold Squire>> before him and then launched forward. His axe began to glow a sickly green as he activated his Sword Art <Lightning Axe>. With a vicious swing, Nikodemus split through the beast and turned it into pixels. Standing straight, he fell in line behind the party to be the rear guard and protect those in front of him.

Takao continued through the dungeon with purpose in each step, eyes set forward on the next four monsters to approach. He gave the sword in his grasp an idle twist and moved up to engage them, repeating the process that had taken out the group before them. The first monster was grappled and thrown into the second, the third was stuck down with the first cut of the sword art he prepared a moment before engaging the group, and the fourth was evaded before being kicked into the first two. The three were run through again in one swift motion, and all four erupted into a wave of colourful polygons. Without speaking a word, he continued moving forward after killing the four monsters.

[Ebony 0]

Ebony glanced around. Seemingly everyone was fighting mobs except for her. And dealing more damage than her. She felt as though maybe she should join in, but she was a bit ashamed of her own damage output. She was a healer and a tank, not a damage dealer though. She raised her shield and waited for the other to finish up with the weak mobs. She would heal if she needed to.

(OOC: Sorry, i would have spawned and attacked one, but im in a rush and dont want to hold the thread up. ^~^ )

[Avilon 0]

Avilon now glanced toward the group as well seeing that she wasn't the only one and waved over toward Ebony who seemed to have been holding off as well for some strange reason. Her eyes now glancing back about as she spied that ever some of the weaker level players were drawing hate. "I guess that everyone is doing fine without  the need of any tank?" She hummed now rocking back and forth upon her heals it was quite impressive Takao was dealing with these monsters as if they were tissue paper while the others were having a bit more difficulty.

[Shirien 0]

Shirien knew his energy wouldn't last to the boss if he pushed his luck so he returned to the group and crossed his arms in satisfaction that he had done something instead of having all the experience fed to him. It was minuscule, but it was something at the very least. He watched and waited as Takao had his way with the enemies. Shirien appreciated the help, but it seemed a bit like overkill to him. He was used to games like this having some form of difficulty, so being carried through content just made him feel strange. Like he was missing out on what the people who designed the enemies had in store for him. Despite being twisted into a trap, at its core this was a game with a lot of people putting a lot of effort into it, he could tell that much. "Say, how do these things end? Do we all get a chest each or do we split a single stash of loot?" He asks idly as he didn't feel threatened in the slightest.

((Remember to give yourself a reward, Niko! It had exactly half your health, and you rolled a 20!))

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Keeping the rear guard, Nikodemus smiled at Shirien's comments. He too had never done one of these sub-dungeons, and if not for his want to help Avilon, he probably never would have. He kept scanning his gaze left and right, occasionally checking behind the party. There had been enemies behind as of yet, thankfully. While Nikodemus knew he could handle a normal strengthed mob, the bigger ones were gonna be an issue. He was glad to have Takao there to keep the bigger ones at bay, allowing the rest to attack the smaller ones.

 

His mind shifted to the boss fight ahead of them. He was alittle worried. He would most likely be able to deal some good damage, but his fear was the boss' damage output. anything to high, and he was sure only Takao and Ebony would make it. Shaking the thoughts from his mind, Nikodemus focused on the surrounding area. "How much further Takao?" He shouted up the line towards their reluctant leader.

"It ends with a boss." Takao responded simply, his gaze unwavering from the next four monsters to approach. "The difficulty and rewards vary depending on the floor number and dungeon level. This is an advanced dungeon, so the boss'll be a little below floor boss level. You guys can split the loot evenly between yourselves, I'm just interested in the experience." He continued, explaining their situation as simply as he could before the monsters were upon him. The thought of reassuring them that the boss wouldn't be any problem hadn't crossed his mind, as he was instead preoccupied with engaging the four lizard-like, sword wielding humanoid monsters that clambered closer. He swung the blade up and held it outright, thus activating the highest level area-of-effect skill in his arsenal. He leapt forward and, despite the tightly enclosed space that was the hallway they were trudging through, managed to preform an unnecessary mid-air backflip, per the system's design of that particular sword art. His boots landed with a scuffled thud and his sword was thrust into the sandstone tip first, resulting in a field of crackling electricity to resonate from the steel. The lightning annihilated the four monsters in a matter of seconds, allowing Takao to stand upright again and point his blade forward. At the end of the hall, the last of the torches were lit aflame, and the fairly large wooden doors of the boss room became illuminated. Standing on either side of the doors were the last two monsters of the dungeon, sans the boss itself. "This's our stop."

[Ebony 0]

Ebony smiled as they approached the end of the dungeon. Just two more enemies to go before they finished this and got all of those skill points. Still, she didn't approach the remaining two mobs. The other players or Takao would take care of them. Ebony felt like anything she did to those mobs wouldnt really matter at all because of her incredibly low damage. She really needed to get a hate garnering skill.

[Avilon 0]

Avilon merely stood in the back ranks now peering over as she noticed that Neko-sayatoma-chan had now beaten his very own monster as Takao simply cut through another small swath of them leaving the door to the boss room which was being guarded by two of the larger beasts now. She nibbled her own lip nervously wondering if they had enough to take out this final boss as she was watching everyone but besides seeing them one hit monsters she wasn't quite good with numbers or telling the various difficulties of monsters that were being slain now. Her eyes glancing back toward Ebony as she contemplated if it would be reasonable for her to thank the people here for all the hard work they had done.

[Shirien 0]

Shirien nodded while considering Takao's answers while they walked, Shirien restoring his energy with every step so he would be ready to go once they got to the boss. "Gotcha, a boss. Seems simple enough I suppose. And just the EXP you say?" He asks curiously with a slight hint of curiousness before shrugging his shoulders and letting his theories go. "It'l be nice to get some treasure I think... Anything would be a help I figure." He grins as he browses through his inventory real quick and then quickly reconsiders. "No... Save those for when there is actually a threat..." He glances to the higher leveled players as if to confirm to himself that he had nothing to fear from the coming boss. Having nothing better to do until the boss fight he glances around for anything worth looting in the dungeon. Some generic pots grabbed his attention and he quietly approached them and peaked inside only to find sand. He had no idea why the kobolds were storing sand when they had a desert outside, but it was what it was and he returned to the herd.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

 

Wanting to deal with the last two mobs, Nikodemus chose one and charged in to attack it. As his axe swung in from behind him, the <<Kobold Spearman>> quickly sidestepped and then stuck the tip of it's spear directly in a Nikodemus side. The tip passed through a seam in his armor, but did not make it far, barely piercing the flesh and leaving a minor wound. With a grunt, Nikodmeus pulled himself from the spear and batted it away, then backed up a step and glared at the beast through his helmet. "Vile little beast. I am no swine to be skewered on your spear..."

Takao glanced aside as Nikodemus opted to engage one of the two remaining monsters, although the good fortune of whatever force controlled their actions seemed to fall in favour of the reptilian monster. Takao's eyes shifted over his shoulder next, glancing down at his familiar who was also of reptilian nature. He had always wondered if slaying other reptile themed monsters bothered the little rat, or if killing monsters in general had any effect on him, but the disinterested look in its golden eyes always seemed to suggest that he didn't care. Takao turned his gaze forward again and stepped up to the remaining monster, not wanting to allow it to target one of the others. The sole of his boot was slammed into the monster's midsection, forcing it up against the wall and preventing it from striking as Takao plunged his sword down through its shoulder. When the beast shattered into pixels and polygons, Takao took a step back and turned to watch Nikodemus' bout.

[Avilon 0]

Avilon now glanced toward the final monster and back to her companions who might have been running a bit low. Avilon glanced over toward Ebony before realizing that she had been zoning out as she now strolled forward and tapped Neko on the shoulder. "I think we should continue on I will keep watch as you all finish off the boss I think since I probably will bet killed relatively quickly otherwise." Showing a bit of foresight for once in her life as she wandered past and awaited someone else to finish of the final beast now. 

OOC: (Feel free to skip me and Ebony told me on skype they Have SAT's and I have a graduation party for the longer part of the day)

[Shirien 0]

Shirien nodded to Avilon in understanding, figuring he should try to speed the process a bit he moved closer to the kobold with his dagger at the ready for some cuts and stabs. As he approached however the spearman used its range to its advantage, making Shirien evade backwards or else risk being skewered by the monster! One of the disadvantages of using a dagger was the minimal range which made him grit his teeth and say "Tsk, his stick's too big for me to get close without a distraction." He warns his group with obvious displeasure for the virtual creature clear in his voice. He started circling the monster who had no hate to any player in particular, waiting for an opening as a hunter would before lunging.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

With a sigh, Nikodemus activated his Sword Art <Lightning Axe> and then leapt in once more. With a swing, the blade sliced through the <Kobold Spearman> and carved a lightning patterned slash in it. As he landed, the beast made one final lunge and pierced it's spear through the same seam it had attacked once before. Grunting as the spearhead bit deeper, Nikodemus took the brunt of the blade and and then stepped back and pulled the spear from his side. His armors <Regen> effect kicked in and healed all but a minor amount of damage. Watching the <Kobold Spearman> burst into pixels, Nikodemus turned back to the others and smiled. "Sorry for the wait everyone. It did not want to co-operate with me. I believe we can move on now?"

Vhaali, the Kobold Commander : 75/350 [ -275 HP ]

As Nikodemus fell his opponent and the last monster that obstructed their path forward, Takao set his eyes upon the wooden dungeon boss room door. The dungeons themselves always varied in some capacity, typically with their themes reflecting the floor they were found within and the monsters that were required to be killed. But there was always a small semblance of consistency, and it was the wooden texture used for the door itself. He'd seen it plenty of times before, when he'd sat and stared at it while waiting for his energy to return. It brought a small grin to his face. "I'll lure it and take the first hit." Takao said, eyes unwavering from the door. "After that, feel free to hit it if y'want. It won't live to its second attack." Regardless of whether there were objections to the plan, Takao stepped forward and slammed his heel into the door. It swung open and revealed the boss within; a large armoured Kobold stood in the middle of the room, an even larger glaive-like weapon in its hands. Takao stayed true to his word and engaged the monster first, launching into an eleven hit combination of strikes that cleaved glowing red wounds into its digital flesh. At some point, he had sustained a negligible hit to his face, which left a small red wound across his cheek.
