[PP-F3] Welcome to Floor 3, are you Worn Out Yet? <<Worn Out Welcome>>

[Piera 0]

Piera cursed under her breath as she saw Noct's weapon being flung to the side just before he was thrown to the ground and bit. "No! Get! The F***! Off! Him!" The brunette yelled at the arachnid, each word being punctuated with a kick that sadly did absolutely nothing since she didn't have the Martial Arts skill and wasn't wielding her weapon. At the very least though, that particular spider seemed annoyed at the players' efforts and backed away, flailing its two front legs in a show of strength. Like they weren't completely kicking their @sses already. Hands gripping Nocturn's shoulder and elbow, Piera helped haul him to his feet, now shoulder to shoulder with him. Her breathing was still rapid, but she was starting to focus more. "Need spears." She stated succinctly, green eyes darting to the separate places where their weapons were lying in the misty dirt.

Noct kicked the spider from him, as it raised it's front legs. He rolled over, grabbing his spear. He saw Piera's weapon, also knocked aside. He place it on his foot, and kicked it over to her. "C'mon, we can take this bast-ack" Noct said, being tackled again by a spider. Damned, eight legged freaks. He mused to himself, using his spear to keep it from biting him. This entire fight had taken them by surprise, and it was probably that damn owl's fault. Probably plotting thier demise the entire time. Noct threw the spider of of him again. He was tired of being pinned by spiders, and the like. But mostly spiders.

[Piera 0]

Scrambling to grab her trident that Nocturn managed to kick over to her, Piera squeaked as he was tackled by one of the spiders once more. Eyes clenching shut as she backed away, she tried to focus on steadying her hands and her breathing. They're just stupid mobs. They're not even the most terrifying looking of spiders! All fat n fuzzy... She could do this. She wouldn't let them get the better of her or Nocturn. Green eyes open and gleaming with renewed determination, Piera's mouth was tight as she inhaled through her flared nostrils before her spear glowed green and shot out abruptly, stopping before hitting any of the spiders, but carrying the sonic energy forward and hitting all three of the arachnids, causing them to cry out in high pitched screeches, becoming agitated before all twenty four of their eyes focused on her, causing the alchemist to gulp in apprehension. "That...seemed like a good idea at the time...sh!t..."

[Nocturn 0]

Noct was relieved when the spiders stopped surrounding him. They all turned their eyes collectively over to Piera, as her trident hit all three of them. As the spiders walked slowly to her, Noct could see that Piera had regretted her decision. However, it was that attack that had turned the tables into their favour. Now the spiders all had their backs to him, giving Noct an ample strike to their exposed backs. Noct activated his sword art, stabbing the middle spider. The tip of his spear exploded from the concentration of energy, damaging the other as well. Noct prepared for them to attack him next, but they all were dead set on attacking Piera."They're almost done. We've got this!" Noct called out over to Piera.

Hands tightening on the grip of her spear as the monsters slowly crept towards her, she was frozen. She had been more than a little concerned that she'd next be on the spiders' menu but thankfully Nocturn's attack at least distracted them from their forward march towards her. Blinking at the other player's call out to her, the brunette nodded, trying to focus on their health bars. Yeah. They were on their last legs after all! Just one more good shot was all it would take to end all of them. Gritting her teeth, Piera tried to perform the same area of effect sword art as she had previously. But when she stepped forward to do so, the middle most spider flexed its thorax and webbing shot out of it, catching her by surprise. It didn't damage her, but it certainly was disorienting and frankly terrifying for an arachnaphobe! Crying out in dismay as she tried to fling the sticky white substance off of her, Piera wailed, "I don't got this, I don't got this!"

[Nocturn 0]

Noct swung his spear wide, as the spiders entered a low health frenzy. The spiders began to use their webbing to catch the player's off guard. Noct tried to attack again, but the spiders were just to frenzied to get a clean shot off. He couldn't thrust, without striking Piera in the midst of it. The spiders crawled up over Piera, spinning webbing and causing damage. Not much damage, but the psychological downside had to be devastating. These spiders were more annoying than actually harmful to him, but he could only imagine what terrors they served to Piera.

[Piera 0]

Piera gave a shuddering gasp as she was knocked over by one of the now faster approaching spiders, flinching and closing her eyes as she fell backwards onto the misty dirt. Eyes cracking open when she heard what she thought was Nocturn, green orbs went wide as she saw two of the arachnids skittering over her. She didn't feel any pain when they bit her obviously, but she still felt it regardless. Attempting to hold the spider trying to bite at her neck at bay with the pole of her spear, Piera couldn't choke back a sob, shaking from the force of holding the mob back as well as intense fear and revulsion. She tried to just think that they were just another game monster. Just a bunch of miserable pixels. No different than boars or wolves. But it was hard to with a giant spider pinning her to the ground and trying to eat her face.

[Nocturn 0]

The spiders crawled over Piera, knocking her to the ground. Unable to use his spear without harming Piera, Noct strapped it to his back. He gripped one of the spiders, trying to wrench it from Piera. But every time he would wrench one from her, another took its place. Eventually, he was able to throw the spiders far enough so that they were off of Piera. Noct grabbed Piera, and hoisted her to her feet. His energy was dangerously low now, down to a quarter of it's starting position. Noct jabbed at one of the spiders with his spear, making it leap back from attacking Piera.

[Piera 0]

Seeing movement in her peripheral vision, Piera's eyes flicked as she saw Nocturn using brute strength to haul the spiders off of her. She tried to kick at the ones that would inevitably replace the first and eventually through both of their efforts, they stayed off of her. Gratefully taking the raven haired young man's hand as he helped her to her feet, the healer's breathing was heavy as she stared down the approaching mobs. Nocturn tried to keep them at bay, stabbing out at one of the closest to make it retreat from its attack, but they continued to press in on the pair. Her breath continued to suck in and out at increasingly rapid rats, her entire avatar glowing along with her weapon just before she struck out with a strangled bloodcurdling cry, releasing a final area of effect attack on the spiders, causing them to explode into pixels. Green eyes stared wide and blank at the death animation, her breathing not calming any as she sank to her knees, weapon dropping as she hugged herself. "F-F-F-F****** spiders..." The brunette stuttered, still somewhat in shock. Nevermind that her life was never in danger or that neither of them hardly took any damage.

[Nocturn 0]

Noct held out a hand to the terrified player. "Hey, we need to get out of these woods or else more spiders might show up." He said looking around for more of the arachnids. He didn't share the same fear of spiders that Piera had, but he understood that she was scared nonetheless. Either way, they needed to be out of the woods. They had a job to complete after all. "C'mon. Mission aint over yet." Noct said as he helped Piera to her feet and began to lead her out of the woods. "You holding up alright?" He asked, concerned about her mental security.

[Piera 0]

Trying to steady her breathing into a more normal rate, Piera glanced up at the hand offered her before gripping it, using the leverage to get to her feet with a grateful nod that turned into a very agreeing nod at his suggestion. "Yes, going now. Woods bad." She kept running her hands over her arms and through her hair, feeling itchy all over from the interaction with the arachnids, though they hadn't been teeny tiny like the ones she usually feared that could crawl all over her skin, they still provoked the same irrational fear. As Nocturn reminded her that the mission wasn't over yet, the brunette blinked in realization that they still had to turn in their quest. "Piss, you're right." Following behind the lower leveled player closely while glancing behind her shoulder occasionally. She looked forward at his question before jumping about a foot in the air when she felt something land on her shoulder before exclaiming heatedly, "GOD BLESS AMERICA JARETH!" As she realized that it was just her familiar returning to her. Right hand over her chest as if to stop her heart from racing, the alchemist nodded weakly, "I'll live... Let's just hurry up and get this quest turned in and be done with it. Nevermind the stupid dark elf, don't you think that geezer could've warned us about what else was in these woods! Gah..." She continued to mutter to herself as they trekked back out of the forest and back into town.

[Nocturn 0]

Noct contained a chuckle as Piera tromped her way through the woods. It was a relief to see that she was fine, by all regards. Even Jareth had returned to the fold, by landing unexpectedly upon Piera's shoulder. Noct reached up, peeling webbing from Piera's hair, tossing it to the side. They both had been hit by the webbing, his weapon covered in most of it. It mattered not though, they were almost done now. The fog thinned as they reached the forest's edge, light breaking through the foliage. "There we are, sunlight." Noct said, letting out another sigh.  Worst of it was done for. No more tracking a dark elf, no more spiders and best of all. No. More. SPIDERS. He raised his arms, stretching as he yawned. Too much adventure in one day it seemed. He was exhausted. The quest was Piera's to turn in, he would follow her and keep her company as he tried to stay awake and make his way back to wherever he was going to sleep for the rest of the day. "Despite the spiders, I enjoyed my time with you Piera. Hopefully we could do something in the future." Noct said. "Less spidery, of course." He added with a smile.

[Piera 0]

Piera grimaced as she saw the webbing in Nocturn's hand as it pulled away from her hair. There was plenty everywhere else though, on both of them and their weapons. Releasing a sigh along with her companion as they emerged from the misty forest into clear bright sunlight, the alchemist gave him a lopsided smile. The walk back to town was quiet and surprisingly nice even though not a word was said between the two players. Their return to the NPC smith's shop was a warm one. The couple welcoming them and thanking them profusely. The players handed over the materials without a fuss and waited patiently as their respective items were crafted after being asked what kind of armor with what specific enhancement they wanted. Piera went with heavy armor with thorns, figuring that she could likely either give it to someone else who needed it, sell it, or perhaps just give it to Lee for him to sell in his shop. Probably the latter now that she considered it. With the quest finished, their business was concluded and the players exited the blacksmith shop. Feeling similarly wiped, Piera gave a small smile to her friend as he escorted her back to her shop and stated that he enjoyed going out with her, despite the spiders. "Heh, yeah that'd be nice. Feel free to hit me or Lee up anytime."
