[PP-NK-F1] Treasure Hunting? (Dominion and Row) <<Secret Medicine of The Forest>>

[Dominion 0]

Dominion took her hand and with a great strain of his body, he propelled his body up. Once he was standing again, he commented. "733T... Acronyms", Dominion said, and repeated this phrase as he thought. What does that mean? Acronym sounds like a familiar word, but I don't recall it being used in any specific way. Dominion looked around looking at the surrounding forest for movement, and remembered a word. "So do Acrobatics and Acronyms have something in common? They sound similar... is it a type of movement?", Dominion thought of something along the lines of moving a device, because he had no clue what movement would correlate with gaming in the slightest. Dominion shook his head after he decided they were probably nothing alike. If Row used Acronyms, he doubted that gamers did much for physical movement. He put his hand to his forehead as he thought. Acronym has to relate to gaming and devices and electronics and stuff... Dominion had a better guess pop into his mind. "Is it some sort of code... like 733T?"

The more the man spoke, the less hope she had for him. "No no no... you are overthinking this. An acronym is simply a bunch of letters that make a word or a phrase but each letter really stands for something. Like my name 'R.O.W.' is an acronym that stands for Rei Omi World." In reality it meant Omi Rei World, but she did not want to further confuse the guy. The quicker he understood this basic stuff the quicker she could regain her expectations for him. "733T is short of elite. It is an internet thing so don't worry about it at all." She really regretted even bring up the word. "Back to school, Everyone talks in acronyms. We say things like lol, laugh out loud, and gg, good game. This stems back to the time when texting was invented and people had to pay by character." She paused to admire the evil genius behind that one. "Now days, most people don't have to worry about that, but this short hand way of writing stuck around. Do you understand?"

Dom removed his arm from his head slowly. Rei Omi World? My name is Omi... Does she have the same name as me? Dominion had no idea if the rest of Row's name meant, but he caught that very quickly. He didn't make any mention of it. A green vine came from a bush generally behind his head while he stood there, seemingly deep in thought. However, Dominion had heard some leaves move from that direction and easily moved to the side and seized the vine. He didn't want to seem rude, so he continued the conversation while ignoring the Nepent which seemed focused on him.  "I think I understand, but what if I had a phrase like Fried Unions and I wanted to abbreviate that? I don't think that phrase would have good connotations associated with it, so how would I go about altering it?" When he finished the statement, Dominion tugged the vine and the Nepents main body came tumbling out from some thick underbrush. Dominion had, in fact, made fried unions while in a different country, where the housing and rent was not very classy. He had also heard of a word used by a group of men that were drunk. It sounded like the same word, but Dominion just wanted to understand how these acronyms were made.

Row let out a sigh, relieve that he at least understood that. She then looked at him and giggled after the asked a question about abbreviating 'fried union.' Not long after that, Dom pulled out another plant creature with big lips. She pulled out her axe, but she was not worried in the slightest. The last one they fought went down without putting them in much danger, unless you count taking forever to die. This one would not be much of a problem either. "Well, you would only use acronyms for commonly used words or phrases, but if 'fried union' was was to be made an acronym, then it could be FU or if you want to be really interesting, FUn. There is no limit or rules to it. What sticks with the masses will become the new thing." 

After the creature hit the ground, Row jumped on top of its belly and cleanly sliced through the skin. This was not enough to inflict bleeding damage though.

Dominion was somewhat surprised by the timing it took for Row to focus in and attack the Nepent. It was a good thing that she was so fast on here feet. They could really rely on speed to finish this quest. So, even though Dominion was mostly ready to just heal, he leapt toward the ground. It looked like he was trying to land dive, but before he hit the ground, he braced the ground with both arms and lifted his body weight, completely flipping himself over a incoming vine. This technique was quite risky, but since he had mastered acrobatics in the real world and luck was on his side, he found no harm in using it. He covered the couple yards between the Nepent and himself in a heartbeat and struck out with his palm. The damage was significantly more than he expected, activating a critical success. Now, he would need to lay low, allowing Row to deal damage and avert it's attention toward him. "FUN", Dominion said with a smile.

As always, Dom was leading the charge with another great critical strike. He easily did four times more damage then what she did and the creature was also bleeding. Also the creature was stunned. The only problem was that now she had to work that much harder to grab aggro. She let out a sigh after Dom mentioned this was fun. "Just be careful Dom... I don't like it with others have more aggro then me." She ran up to the creature's face and readied her axe to cut it. She had to land this hit and the next one or else Dom would be the one tanking.

However, she ended up tripping and sliding off the creatures body. Once again, the person she was trying to protect was going to be the target of the monster. She hit the ground and watched her weapon slide a few feet away from her.

Dominion, after he had turned to see Row come in for another attack, turned and jabbed his open palm into the Nepent a second time. The Nepent suddenly froze up, unable to move it's vine that was clearly targeted for Dominion's throat. Dominion began to back up, as he expected to see Row run in for an attack. "wher..." Dominion broke off his words as he turned to see Row on the ground. Her axe was a few feet away from her. "Oh, Row, are you alright?", Dominion turned his head and then moved it back to see the Nepent beginning to move again. He looked back to her, a smile still on his face. He quickly ran over to where Row laid on the ground, snatching the ax from the ground with incredible speed. He was, if for no other reason than because of his armor, a very agile person. Also, his starting weapon was a 11' Double Bladed ax, which would also explain the speed in which he could pick it off the ground. He would have to play *catch me if you can* until Row made enough successful hits. He stood beside Row, throwing her the ax and breaking out into a run around the Nepent.

Row rolled to her feet, watching how Dom effortlessly picked up her ax. Well it was not that heavy since it was one handed, but she always like to believe it was heavier then most if not to further brag about her strength. She caught her weapon as Dom threw it and watch him land another hit on the creature. Why did he insist on continuing his assault. the creature was not stunned anymore and was ready to attack him. She had no way of steal aggro back and who knows how hard the thing will hit when it does. "Dom, you have to back off or else it might kill you." Time was of the essence and there was only one thing she could do now.

She had to land a hit. She ran at the creature and dug her ax in her side. Again, it looked as if it would cause bleed but it did not.

Dominion ran fast. He ran, jumping off of a nearby tree, and grabbing the lowest tree limb. He pulled his bodyweight up and quickly leapt from that tree branch as another vine came close to hitting him. Landing on the ground, he quickly continued his run. Row called out to him, right before he could make his attack, mentioning that he could die. This surprised Dominion yet again. Wait, why does she care if I die? I haven't lost at any hp yet. Dominion couldn't focus and missed the branch he intended to grasp. His legs clasped as he rolled on the ground and broke off in a run again. His better judgement would allow Row to regain the attention of the Nepent. Dominion did a flip over the next vine, landing on the other side and turned his head to look over at Row. "Well, looks like it is all you then", Somehow Dominion kept a grin on his face as he ran and climbed trees.

Dom was listening and evaded the attack. While it was not proving her point that he was still alive despite having so much hate, he was still alive. "Keep up the dodging. I don't know how you do it but keep it up." She pulled out her ax and searched for a more vulnerable spot to hit. She turned to Dom to see him still jumping around like some sort of monkey. It was amazing how much energy he has, even though this is a video game base and stamina is but just a mental thing. She noticed an opening as it followed Dom around. Now as the time to strike. She jumped into the air and raised her ax while screaming.

Suddenly a pebbled jumped from the ground and took Row to the ground. That pebble was thrown up using a vine that slammed into the ground. Now she was falling to the ground.

Dominion made a sharp turn, another large dark green vine moving near his blue jeans. He continued to run for a little while, but he was beginning to get bored. Therefore, he quickly leapt into the air, grabbing onto the lowest branch of a large tree. He smiled as he grabbed the branch with his right arm and pulled up. He then reached with his other arm and stretched to grab the next branch up. The large vine barely missed Dominion's leg as he pulled his body up to the second branch. After Dominion adjusting his middle, he got all the way up to the third branch, where the vines would have difficulty reaching him. He smiled there, rotating his body to swing upside down, his legs folded over the nearest branch. He could look at the Nepent from this viewpoint, everything now being upside down. In the distance, he could see Row (upside-down) attacking the Nepent (also upside down).

The stupid plant had bested the merchant girl for the last time. Since the beginning for this fight, she has been struggling to make any progress on its hp bar and that was crazy. Sure she was not a DPS like Dom but she did not even have aggro. At the rate this was going, Dom would probably win the fight all on his own. A new feeling was building up inside of her. She looked back up at Dom who was further proving his battle supremacy. No, she could not lose yet. She would not lose yet.  She picked herself off the ground and looked at the monster. "I won't lose." She ran at the monster with her ax raised high. The only question now was will she connect with the plant creature.

She jumped into the air and not only connected her ax into the flesh of the plant, she made a big enough gash to inflict bleeding.

Dominion smiled while he swung upside down, and messy blond hair seeming to straighten. Row charged forward, striking the Nepent... for all he could tell. He adjusted his sight to see the health bar above the Nepent. It suddenly was affected by the BLD and PAR stats. Dominion would have applauded, but he knew that the fight was now close to even. He used his abdomen to curl up, grabbing ahold of the branch and adjusted his body to be back up. He then let got of the tree branch and came straight back to the ground, his legs slightly bent when he landed. Turning, he quickly made his way over to Row, but was abruptly stopped by a vine. Moving his hand in front of his body, he struck the vine with the palm of his spirit monkeys. After successful making another hit, he retracted his hand to his side and ran around the nepent, looking up at it's health bar. He only caused minor damage in comparison to Row's outstanding hit, as he was only a healer.
