[F17-PP] Of idiots and...even more dangerous Tigers <<Herculean Labor>>

[Mars 0]

He steps onto the seventeenth floor with a serious look upon his face as he opens up a series of windows as he navigates his inventory slides his fingers along the various items of items until he finds the ones that he needs as he takes out the various potions and crystals he has made through the time of being an Alchemist. Taking out every single potion and downing them right away as he than tosses the same copy of potions he had taken over towards Pinball with a serious look within his eyes. Take these Pinball we're going to need all the strength that we can get during this fight against these lions since they are meant to be stronger than anything we have faced thus far. He informs his rival as he continues moving forward through the town of Athenea with his familiar right along with him as the martial artist thinks upon the quest knowing that it will be the most difficult task for the DPS duo to take on alone since they are a singular target specialized duo and the fight would require an AoE to make it easy. @Pinball

[Pinball 1]

The two, after killing Ki'Raion, had immediately traveled to the 17th Floor, where they hoped to take on the Nemean Lions. Pinball had taken this quest once before, with two other players: Hestia and Domarus. They had made a good team; a tank/healer, an AoE specialist, and a straight single target DPS (though Pinball had lent his fair share of AoE damage when the need arose). Now, though, there were only two of them. And, they were both DPS with little (Mars) to no (Pinball) mitigation to boot. They hardly had any reliable means of healing without somebody like Hestia with them, and since they didn't have a tank, when they got hit, they would take it hard. What made them think this was a good idea again? 
Pinball, though, was hardly one to pass up an oppurtunity to level up just because there was a risk of dying. His whole life in this game had been one spent pushing the limits of risk/reward, and even throughout the many near-death experiences he's had, that hasn't changed. 
Besides, he had a goal of his own. The Quest Boss' Last Attack Bonus. Domarus had managed to snag it last time, even though the absolute degenerate wore Heavy Armor, depriving Pinball of the snazzy cloak he hadn't even known he coveted. He had managed to acquire Ki'Raion's Tail, but now he had his sights set on the Nemean Fur - and hopefully Mars didn't know of its existence. The fact he hadn't asked about it with Pinball having gotten the last Bonus suggested he didn't. God, he was gonna be pissed. 
He glanced over to Mars, only to just barely catch the potions he tossed his way. Pinball smiled weakly, chuckling softly to himself as he deftly snatched item after item out of the air. "Oh, geez," he mumbled, "keep 'em coming, I guess." 
He paused, after the item tossing came to a stop. "So, are we actually doing this?"

He glances towards Pinball and just offers him a small smile and a noticeable slight nervous chuckle as he shrugs his shoulders as he starts to make his way through the town of Athenea to head towards the location of the Nemeon Plains. Well we took the buffs that i have made and if you have any that would be useful also Pinball, but unless you have some possible last minute people that would be willing to join in on this dumb idea of ours i think we are doing this on our own. Unless you happen to know somebody that would be willing to join us to make this more bearable. Mars says with a slight shrug of his shoulders as he walks along with his partner as he glances forward along the town to the various buildings of marble and wood as he can only wonder how much harder this quest is going to be compared to the floor nineteen one they had just accomplished since in theory it shouldn't be that difficult if they were able to handle that singular enemy. 'Right?' The DPS martial artist knowing that in equal hands that this could be equal parts suicidal and the most daring success that he will ever take part in from the amount of enemies being plentiful and strong.

[Pinball 1]

"Uhh, yeah," Pinball winced, looking through his items. "I've got a couple of things, but..." He scrolled through the buffs he could use, namely the large order he had received from Neopolitan. The usual buffs he enjoyed eating, and then her own twist on them... the "enhanced" cakes. Pinball's eyebrow twitched. Enhanced? I doubt it. Surely he was still the superior cook! And to claim that his signature desserts could be enhanced. Blasphemy! Slander! False advertisement! Pinball smiled to himself. Nah, maybe they are better. I've gotta try them soon. Pinball then closed his menu, having not retrieved any of the buffs he said he had, including the ones Mars had tossed him. "I'll take a few before we get there," he explained. 
"Nobody who can [censored] survive!! Nobody in their right mind would take this quest with us! And I don't blame them!" Pinball laughed in-between his shouts, throwing his hands indignantly into the air. "If you were anybody we knew, would you? I wouldn't!" Pinball whirled around, and started storming across the town. "Come on!" Then, laughing to himself and shaking his head, "This is the dumbest thing I've ever [censored] done. Holy sh*t." 

[Mars 0]

He grins containing laughter at this whole over the top reaction seemingly from his partner about the duo of them taking on this quest possibly just as this two man team that could most likely end in one or both of them dying because of his own confidence within their skills. However, he is unable to contain the laughter at hearing how this is the dumbest thing Pinball has done before a grin stretching across his face finding this to be rather funny coming from his rival, and rather someone he could honestly call a friend as he pats him on the shoulder. Come on Pin we have things to do, tigers to kill, and death to face. We are the DPS duo we got this man if we can kill one tiger, we can kill thousands you know? He says towards the spear wielder with a amused look upon his face before moving forward before pausing as some of the words finally register within his mind as he glances back towards Pinball with a raised eyebrow. I am sorry "You" are going to have some before we get their. What about me? We are two parts of a team don't start cheaping out on me. He says in a accusing tone of voice towards the spear wielder.

[Pinball 1]

That was a lot of cursing! He hadn't cursed in a long time, but he had picked up the bad habit again while he had been isolated. Now that he was back in the swing of things, though, he needed to remember to watch his words - especially when in the company of the others. Words hurt people. He should know that by now. The bubbly humor left him in an instant, and he was hit with a weird wave of sadness. Ah, that's great. 
But just as quickly as it had come, it faded with Mars' pat on the back. For a second he felt a flutter in his chest, but he ignored it. This is somebody who had been with him for a long time, and even though he hadn't actually told him about the bad stuff he had done, Mars had always been there to inadvertantly make him feel better - or at least ignore the feelings that plagued him, at least for a little bit. "Yeah," he finally agreed. He straightened as a smile crept across his face again. "[censored] tigers." 

"You expect me to share my tasty pastries with you? Mars, Mars, Mars," he chortled, his eyes closed as he praised the sun. "Surely the insurmountable power of the God of War is more than enough to take care of a few measly tigers?" Pinball let his head drop to the side, where he opened a single, sassy eye to look his rival up and down. "Or are you chicken?" 

[Mars 0]

He nods his head at the sentiment of the tigers since so far they hadn't been that useful except for his familiar who he glances down towards and shakes his head towards the creature that is glaring and letting flames build up around it to try and burn the duo. No bad Valen. That isn't referencing you you're a liger you're different. You're better than tigers or lions. He says to calm down his familiar which works as the creature just puffs out smoke with a low growl before turning away as Mars just nods before focusing back upon the road as the duo exits the town of Athenea as it opens up towards the endless fields that would eventually lead to the nemeon plains where the creatures would be spawning along with their pride king. He looks down and thinks back to the information he has even about the nemeon lion quest and knows that it will be rather difficult since they spawn in groups, but he is hoping that hey don't have any accuracy to allow the duo to just combo the two, and if anything they can utilize the switch mechanic to trade off when one gets to high of a hate count and needs to do some healing to recover.

Okay first of all God of War is a title, and we both know that you are higher level than me so don't give the sas. Secondly, i can handle any challenge thrown my way with the right group and right now you're my group and this group needs to be buffed as much as we can if we want to live we're fighting a group of enemies not just a solo one so we need to be careful. He says in a scolding tone like one would a child as he gazes directly at Pinball with a serious look within his eyes.

[Pinball 1]

"This is true," he says, stroking his chin. "This is true." Pinball stared out at the sky ahead of them, still rubbing his chin. Then, without another word, he started walking. As he started walking, he checked his belt. Four vials hung from his belt, containing a pale red, almost pink liquid: his healing potions. On his belt also hung several pouches, one of which contained healing crystals he had received from Mars, and one that contained Teleportation Crystals he carried as a means of escape. Most things couldn't kill him in one shot, so it was important to have a way to get away if he ever took more damage than he was made to. Especially after Croaksworth. He shuddered. After that, he swapped his spear over to his free hand, and let a hand slide gently across the chipped and cracked glass that seemed to contain a swirling, pitch-black mass of fog. He felt, for a second, reassured. 
After he had walked away in silence, Pinball stopped, looking around. Then, he turned around. "Mars," he began slowly, looking back to see if Mars had even followed, "You don't figure there's any... giant frogs on this floor, do you?" 

[Mars 0]

He stares at Pinball and slowly gains a raised eyebrow while looking towards the spear user wondering why he is asking of all things about a giant frog of such things upon this floor as he just gives him a deadpan look of condescending. Well than Pinball this is the greek floor where soldiers are plentiful as the greek myths, so no. There are no giant frogs on this floor most likely. He says towards the spear user in a blatant flat tone of voice while focusing back in front of him towards where they are walking as the slow transition between the rather grassy lands of farms of the city transition towards the flat earthy lands of the plains. He glances forward bracing himself for the difficulty of the fight ahead as he looks towards Pin and nods towards him as the duo moves forward. Tigers should be spawning soon prepare yourself mentally pin. He tells the spear user as Mars himself gets ready to react at a moment's notice to dodge out of a attack if need be that could happen from behind or in front of him.

[Pinball 1]

Pinball wiped his forehead in an exaggerated motion. "Phew," he exhaled loudly, the goofy smile never leaving his face (he was actually genuinely relieved but didn't want Mars to know that). "Ah! Yeah! Tigers!" Pinball held his spear out, giving the weapon a quick one-handed, overhead twirl as was his habit. He glanced over to Mars as he walked, and Zomekko's shadowy form wrapped and coiled around his waist, then chest, then neck, as she snaked towards his weapon. "So-" 
It was then that he heard a distant roar, and Pinball stopped in his tracks. "Sh*t! Wait!" In a hurry, Pinball quickly materialized all of the items he figured he needed, apparently ignoring the ones Mars had given him. He made a rush and a mess as he scarfed down his food and drinks and potions, and it was almost a comical sight to see the lanky boy sat crisscross in the dirt shoveling food into his mouth. "'et ready," he seemed to mumble through the food in his mouth. "One schecompf! I'm almoft done."

And still no food for me. How greedy of you pinball. He says towards the spear user before glancing towards the direction of the roars as he watches as three tigresses make their grand entrance as he nods his head and gets into a combat ready stance as he looks towards Pinball and nods his head with a rather amused smile upon his face wondering how the zero mit boy will handle being the object of these things hate. Well no time like the present is what the people like to say so lets get to killing. He says in a rather calm tone of voice before activating charge alongside his all might attack as he rushes forward towards one of the lionesses planning to at least cripple one of them, and more importantly test just how much HP these things will have to see the viability of actually doing this quest at their level. He rushes forward towards the nemeon lioness and throws a quick punch forward slamming it against the creature and causing it to skid along the ground for only a brief moment as he watches the HP bar not even hit the yellow zone, but having his energy bar deplete rather heavily. Well Pin we either split the cats or just focus fire one take your pick.

In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by lions. For a second he found himself panicking. They didn't have a tank! Or a healer! Or literally anybody who would be useful in a situation involving two guys with little to no defensive capabilities! "This is so [censored] stupid," Pinball shouted, as shadows overtook his arms and weapon. And with that invigorating battle cry he charged forward at blistering speeds, practically a blur as he rushed the three cat monsters that had ambushed them. He couldn't let them attack! He'd seen Hestia take damage from them all at once, but that was Hestia. Pinball wore no armor, and he wouldn't fare nearly as well as she, he knew. So he threw himself forward, a whirlwind of spear slashes as he hit all monsters at once as he hopped from one to the other spinning like a top. He finally grinded to a stop, sending up a cloud of dust as he threw in arm into the ground to keep his balance.

He looks towards the nemeon lionesses expecting them to move in quickly as he gets into a defensive stance activating his strongest attack once more doing so back to back to prepare himself for the oncoming attack, but much to a mixture of annoyance and surprise Pinball decided to AoE the targets which had done a rather good amount of damage for what is a weak attack, but which also made it obvious that either his buffs are making up for what should be a weaker attack. That or his partner thusly panicked and isn't going for strong singular hits to kill everything much faster. 'This is why i shouldn't be surprised and cause he charged that means this attack is now useless.' With that thought he slams his fist into the ground in a mix of annoyance and to just dispel the energy gathered before standing up once more and looking towards Pinball and gesturing for him once more to go and AoE the targets.

When Mars missed his attack, Pinball laughed. "What's the matter, dude?" Mars gestured for him to make another AoE attack with a circular swirl of his fingers, and Pinball nodded. If it's what the boss wants, Pinball thought, grinning to himself. "Keep that up and I'll stop fighting!" He had backed up after he had stunned the lions, putting as much distance between him and the group as he could, but now he was going to have to get close again. The thought worried him a bit - these things would probably devastate his health bar, and they all had eyes on him. But! He had to do it, for both of their sakes. He threw himself forward, his spear glowing white and black and blue. Pinball struck each one of the monsters in turn, a whirlwind of spear strikes - but when his attack spun out and he was momentarily put off balance, Pinball felt something sharp rake across his back. "Gack!" He lurched forward, then threw himself into a forward roll. He jumped to his feet and ran aside, rubbing the claw marks that ripped his jacket open. "Damn it," he whined, eyeing his draining healthbar. He didn't notice he had killed one of the monsters.

He watches as Pinball manages to kill one all by himself as his eyes narrow ever so slightly at that not wanting to allow his rival to claim most of the work during this one. The martial artist not wanting to face the fact that his partner is gaining higher in levels and thus is going to out power him in various stages cause of having more to pull off for his attacks, and along with that has protein to buff himself up to stronger points. Letting the slight amounts of anger rush through him he rushes forward his fists ignited in red energy as he gets right up towards one of the Nemeon Lionesses and slams his fist against the creature causing it to shatter into red pixels as they surround the martial artist within that moment. Mars looks towards the next who is focused solely on pinball as he just nods his head at that accepting that, and now knowing that they could just use this plan against the king Nemeon with Mars focusing the king, and Pinball Aoeing the lower tigers.

"Ahhh, Hell," Pinball complained, crouching in front of a tree as Mars fought. It was a very brief respite, but it was one he needed. "I'm bleeding.." Pinball shook his head. He couldn't let that scare him. The thick red gash against his back would fade when he healed. "Jacket takes another hit like that and I'll need a new one, though," he grumbled bitterly. As Mars punched a lion so hard in the face that it literally faded from existence, Pinball pushed himself to his feet with his spear. "Okay~," he sighed, giving his weapon a twirl. He dashed quickly over to the remaining Lioness, his face a mixture of worry and nonchalant acceptance. Pinball buried his spear into the Nemean Lioness with six quick stabs in rapid succession, brought his hands back, and as it jumped to try to bite him, he simply thrust his spear through its jaw. The Lioness fell limp, then shattered into pieces, defeated. Pinball breathed out, glancing to Mars. "I can't help but feel I'm carrying the team here, bud."

At those words Mars just gives Pinball a death stare for saying that as the liger by Mars' side shoots out a quick puff of flame to scorch the spear wielder's face as if to emphasize its owner's annoyance. I wonder why maybe it has to do with the fact you didn't give me a protein mister Cook. But noooo your buddy Mars gives you potions cause he is a alchemist, but you can't extend the same kindness towards Proteins. I see how it is now. Mars says in a overly sarcastic and very obviously annoyed tone of voice for saying he isn't doing anything to support the team while also getting hindered by his rival by not supplying buffs like Mars had done for him. The martial artist glances around not seeing anything for a good distance and just sits down on the ground to take the needed break to recover the energy he had lost. Okay next fight. You start off first with the AoE charge stun, and than i'll follow up by attacking the kind o the pride. That way i can weaken it enough to allow for a easy sweep of all the Nemeon's by your AoE. Since it seems that your AoEs were doing enough work to basically the equivalence of 6 of my all might attacks across the three with two of your AoE hits. If we do this plan it would be the best use of our energy to beat this quest. Also note. You were worried about dying now look at you being all cocky. Mars says with a amused look upon his face about his partner for some reason being worried about death now that he has killed three enemies and as he had said. "did most of the work."

[Pinball 1]

Pinball jabbed a finger in Mars' direction, as if he had something important to say, then flinched heavily as Bleed took its toll. But then he continued. "Gave me potions? You know how much I spent for those! And then you toss this junk my way!" He laughed in an exaggerated angrily fassion, and materialized the three items he had offered at the start of their lion hunt. "Here! Take 'em back! I don't need 'em!" Pinball whirled around with a humph, still smiling to himself because of his ridiculous behavior. He spun back around, throwing his arms out. "You want a drink of this tasty Apple Cider, baby?! You'd best be ready to pay for it! And I want 10k, right here, or you ain't gettin' jack from this throbbing hunk of a man!" 
He leaned against a tree, then, and slid down its trunk to sit in the dirt, lowering himself deep into the gnarled roots of the mighty plant. Pinball watched his health bar fade slowly as bleed took its hold on his precious life. How long is this gonna last? He pulled a vial from his belt, and held it loose in his hands, waiting for the bleeding to stop before he'd drink.

hey listen Pin you went to my store and you bought my goods that is how a business works i can't give discounts to anyone if i want to try and make a profit it is just how things run and are handled. Besides if you wanted me to pay you 10k col just for one item than you are more insane than myself Pinball. He says rather blatantly towards the spear user with a amused smirk upon his face as he sees that the HP continues to tick ever so slowly from the damage his partner took as Mars searches through his inventory to see if he has anything that would actually expedite the process of the healing. he grabs the quest item from the iron guardian with a slight grin having this to at least make things better, but since it is a crystal it is something he can save for later if things start going south for the duo. Putting it back into his inventory he just shrugs to the spear wielder. Tone down the weirdness Pin i can only handle so much of your craziness from you in one day, and you're quickly reaching my limit. For all i know you're going to spawn like some weird chupacabra chimera mix thing cause of the trend i've seen from being around you, and the fact you're slowly pushing Aincrad's ability to handle any amount of what is your normal.

"Yeah, well," he went on grumpily, "I'm gonna stick to that price. And if you want to feel a bit stronger you'll pay it." Pinball cackled, then wheezed as a wave of pain washed over him and Bleed's effect was renewed. After that, though, his health stopped dipping. Pinball flicked the bottom of his flask, popped the cork off, and greedily downed the potion. He sighed, satisfied as his health shot back up a good amount. "That's better," he nodded, tossing the glass away. He was running out of potions, but this time the use was worth it. Pinball tilted his head, starting to smile. "A what?" He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought, because it was kinda true. Pinball shrugged. "Hey man, I don't know. Maybe I'm just a monster magnet." Then, with a small, self-deprecating smirk, added, "Would explain my love life. Ha. Ha. Get it." He had never told Mars anything about the things he had done. Pinball pushed himself to his feet. "King shouldn't be far," he explained, "and it's way tougher than the ones we just fought. They get stronger because of the King, too. What's the plan?"
