Mutsu 0 Posted November 3, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) ID: 108461 BD: 4 (3+1) MD: 6 (5+1) Mutsu: 47/60 (3/6 EN) (-1 DMG) Gemini: 12/30 "I don't know anything about any quests," the Gemini replied at last, answering the question that Mutsu had asked, well it seemed like ages ago to Mutsu, even though it had really only been a few seconds, a minute or two tops. Apparently, though, the quest giving non-player character had not been programmed with any sort of response to the question that Mutsu had asked. Other than to say that it did not know the answer to the question. The dark haired spearwoman sighed and then took a swipe at Gemini with her weapon, but to no avail as Gemini jumped deftly back out of the way before launching a retaliatory strike of its own that, again, managed to catch Mutsu across her armored breastplate which set all the bells she had on it to jingling a merry little tune.

Mutsu 0 Posted November 4, 2018 Author #22 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) ID: 108461 BD: 1 MD: 3 (2+1) Mutsu: 47/60 (2/6 EN) (-1 DMG) Gemini: 12/30 The force from the impact of the Gemini's most recent attack knocked Mutsu back a few steps. Even though the damage value on the blow was, essentially, nothing, that did not change the fact that the blows could occasionally generate some pretty nasty knockback. Apparently. That was good information to have. In frustration, as she stumbled backwards, Mutsu lashed out with her own Shao Lin spear, but the weapon swiped at nothing but air as the attack missed it's intended target. When Gemini launched another attack Mutsu threw her own weapon up to intercept the incoming attack, but it still hit with enough ringing force that Mutsu dropped her weapon. She squawked indignantly at Gemini, and then flipped the Gemini the bird. Edited November 4, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites
Mutsu 0 Posted November 6, 2018 Author #23 Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) ID: 108510 BD: 9 (8+1) MD: 9 (8+1) Mutsu: 46/60 (2/6 EN) (-1 DMG) Gemini: 9/30 (-3 DMG) Mutsu dove forward over her Shao Lin spear, picking the weapon up neatly into her hands as she came up out of the roll. In honesty, she was a little surprised at both her own ingenuity and at the fact that the little maneuver had actually worked. She had half expected to send the weapon skittering off into Never Never Land, or some other similarly mystical place and she was quite pleased with herself for having succeeded in the little trick. Right up to the point where she looked down at her own chest and saw that she had been skewered by the Gemini's spear as she came up out of her roll. "RUDE! YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW," Mutsu demanded. The tiny spearwoman then suited words to action as she clocked the Gemini over the head with her matching Shao Lin spear which sent her opponent reeling backwards, taking the offensive person skewer with it. "I am not a kebob!" Edited November 6, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites

There was no way that the short haired brunette was going to allow her enemy to get behind her and knife her in the back. Even if the amount of damage that was inflicted after each successful hit was laughably small. Given enough time and determination it was possible to kill someone with a thousand paper cuts. If you also then poured vinegar into the open cuts. Maybe. The science definitely seemed to be valid to Mutsu's way of thinking, though she had been a history student at university so what did she know about science. "First we skewer you, then we barbecue you, and then we eat you... you look like you'd make a reasonable yakitori." Edited November 11, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites

This whole interaction had now taken a decidedly dark and cannibalistic turn. And this was supposed to be a children's game? Ok, well maybe not a children's game, but Mutsu was reasonably certain that the box had not indicated that the game was rated 'M for Mature'. "Well, that got dark and wildly inappropriate in a hurry," Mutsu huffed. Then her stomach growled which rather ruined the effect of her words, on top of being very poorly timed since Gemini had been discussing cannibalism. "It's your fault for talkin' about food," Mutsu yelped, dropping her spear and defensively placing her hands over her armored stomach as the Gemini slashed at her again and chipped away another point from her health bar.

It's fixed now. Gemini: 9/30 Mutsu was still clutching at her stomach, her weapon forgotten on the ground, and glaring daggers at the Gemini for it having made her stomach rumble at the cannibal remark. It was especially troubling to the brunette because the human meal in question was supposed to have been her. "I do not eat..." That was was far as the spearwoman got with her remark before the Gemini spun neatly on one foot and swung its Shao Lin spear like a baseball bat. The blow caught Mutsu in the stomach with enough power to force the digital breath out of her. Gemini followed up that attack by bringing the haft of the spear down over Mutsu's back and slamming the short woman into the ground. Finally, to add insult to injury the Gemini jabbed Mutsu with the pointy end of the spear, which cause some further damage. Edited November 12, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites

She clutched the weapon to her chest just in time to be slammed in the back by the Gemini's weapon again, shoving her face first into the ground. "Mmr flfle Irma kerffle yer," Mutsu raged, but it was not really possible to make out too much of what she was saying as she yelled in rage at the Gemini. The ground did not really make for the most effective conveyor of threats and curses. At least, not when one's face was rudely shoved into it with what Mutsu felt was, really, entirely too much force to be going on with. With a roar the tiny woman bounced to her feet with the musical tinkling of bells and growled at Gemini. Edited November 12, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites

With a blood curdling scream, Mutsu hauled back with her weapon and rammed the business end into Gemini. It was impossible to tell what she was screaming through her blind rage, but several words were intelligible. "Hamster!" The spear jabbed into Gemini's stomach. "Mother!" The spear kept right on going until Mutsu could clearly tell that she had scored a critical hit on the Gemini. Not only had more damage been done than the last several times she had hit the Gemini, but the pointy end of the spear was also poking out the back of Gemini's armor. "Onion," Mutsu howled, kicking Gemini backwards off of her weapon. Edited November 12, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Gemini said, throwing up her hands in a defensive gesture. "I'll teach you that extra skill," it continued, throwing away its weapon. Well, now, that was more like it. And, probably, the game would have some bizarre thing where if she killed the Gemini she would not be able to receive the extra skill since she would not then be able to learn the skill from the non-player character. Abruptly her mood switched and she put away the weapon, storing it in her inventory. "Gimme, gimme, gimme!" Edited November 12, 2018 by Mutsu Link to post Share on other sites
Mutsu 0 Posted November 12, 2018 Author #30 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) ID: 108751 (Treasure Chest Search) LD: 18 (Chest Found) Once she had received her loot from the Gemini, and the new skill Concentration, Mutsu was feeling particularly proud of herself and accomplished for having succeeded in completing the quest and received all the rewards that came with it. She was marching back towards the gate that led into the main establishment on the sixth floor, so she could leave this humid and sweltering Hell when she noticed the glint of something out of the corner of her eye. A tiny flash gold, but Mutsu was on it like a drug addict on their next score. In a hurry she had left the roadway and walked the short distance that she needed to go from the path in order to get to the newly discovered loot which would add to her already gainly obtained rewards from the Quest.

With her prying fingers Mutsu clutched at the lid of chest and pulled the lid open and peered inside, her eyes taking in the haul. First, a bag of col with she hefted in her hand, checking out the weight which was pretty nice. She tapped it and nine hundred col was added to her supply. Next, several crafting materials that found their way into her inventory, making her supply of crafting materials somewhat greater than it had been only a few moments previously. Finally, a new piece of armor that refused to reveal anything about itself other than the fact that it had three slots which made it better than the armor she already had, and there was another pair of unidentified consumables. Another trip to Shield's shop was going to be in order, to see what she had found and if it was useful or not. Thread Rewards: +4 SP (3 Quest, 1 Thread) +1900 Col (400 Thread, 600 Quest, 900 Loot Chest) +8 T1 Mats (Treasure Chest) +1 Perfect Armor Piece (UID) +2 Rare Consumables (UID) +Concentration Skill Link to post Share on other sites
