[F21 - PP] Tournament Approaches [PM to join]

[Morgenstern 1]

2/3

As they sat, Jonathan thought of his own plan. "Shield is going to be the one taking the damage. While I have already taken damage, if Neo has any proteins I would be willing to take some. The loss in mitigation will be causing more damage, but my battle healing should knock that out unless its constantly using an AOE attack. I've got a few items in my inventory for Neo to use" He would open his inventory and send the girl a rare mitigation potion. While it wasn't perfect, it would help her in the long run. Afterwards he would get out his own potion ith the hopes of offsetting the protein enhancement. "We will be lacking in damage, so it will end up being a battle of attrition. Its not my place, but I believe Shield, your focus should be on keeping both of us with Sharpness during the boss battle and healing Neo after Area of Effect Attacks." Thinking more to it, he looked to Neo next. "If you have any paralyze weapons, it would be best to equip it, keeping the boss from having as many turns will be greatly beneficial. You should be trying to Stun as soon as the cooldown resets" He thought more. They would need breaks before and after each the boss and mini-boss.

Shield gave a nod. So far at least, they all seemed to be on the same page. "The last battle will be interesting. I'll sharpen when I can, but I'll also be parrying as much as possible. That kind of damage is no joke, even for me." He gave a little half snort through his nose. "Honestly, I haven't even seen floor bosses that hit that hard. Then again, dungeon bosses tend to be much simpler to handle as far as strategy, so it balances somewhat." 

Some time had elapsed, though not likely quite enough for everyone to recharge to full. Shield approached the front of the dungeon, inspecting the statues that guarded the front. He looked it top to bottom. "I feel like these bear some resemblance to 'Naga' or some similar serpentine creature. Hard to say. I feel like there are a number of 'half serpent half person' type creatures in RPGs."

He glanced back at the others. It had been a while since he had carried lower leveled players through a dungeon, and back then dungeons were not nearly as dangerous. Still, as far as he could tell, the numbers checked out, and if he needed to heal Neo, they would not be in serious trouble. She could take the punishment, so long as he stayed on top of it. He turned back to the entrance, waiting on the others to join him before proceeding.

Neo took the item that she was offered, no sense turning it down. The protection would be a nicde bonus to her defenses and would hopefullly alleviate pressure off of Shield. To reciprocate the offer, Neo pulled out one of the tofu burgers she had and offered it towards Morgenstern. She had been saving it for herself, but Morgenstern would be able to make much better use of it than herself. On top of that, he could actually take the loweer mitigation much better than she could. If only she could just increase her damage. That was something for the alchemists to do though.

I wonder how that alchemist is doing with my order. I did give her a lot of materials and just asked her to make a bunch off of them. Who knows what will come of that. I bet I won't be needing damage potions for quite some time after she is done mmaking them.

He sat there, Shield noting that he would be using Parry many times as well due to the oncoming damage. Nodding, Jonathan would look to Neo as she would change her gear. Currently, he wore the Bialas Bindings. If he were to wear the Twilight Protector he would be able to help more but he had no intentions of showing that armor to anyone yet. It was for solo training alone. My accuracy should be fine and I don't need evasion. As long as Shield stays on top of tanking and supporting we should all be fine. It is interesting that I used to find Damage more important than support but here, support skills are invaluable' As Neo would hand him the item he would thank her. He opened wrapping to the item and ate the thing. As he did, he noticed that due to lack of eating, he was quite hungry. Of course, that hardly had an effect in the game, but eating brought out the hunger. He would ignore it though. He would walk to the entrance of the door where Shield was found examining the door. "Alright, I think we are all set. Let's... get this done with" he would say,

Shield continued through the doorway. The hallway was pitch black beyond, and he had to follow along the walls with his hand. Fortunately, the paths did not seem to fork. This was a device meant to instill a feeling rather than actually confuse players. Still, he was considering going through his merchant stock to pull out a glow stone when fires roared to life all around them. The darkness was broken within the ring, and long, angular carvings of circles and runes came to life. The patterns were cut deep into the stone of the floor, and a bright, cherry red light began to flood through them from the outside in until the floor was practically carpeted with glowing red runes. Through the fire that surrounded them, four great creatures slithered through. Their scaly lower halves were a sickly green, but their upper bodies were skin and flesh. They each had six arms and bore in each hand a glistening scimitar.

The hair on the back of Shield's neck stood on end, and he searched his memory for where he had seen these creatures before. He examined their health bars. "Mariliths?" he growled. "It's been a long time since I've seen these in a game! Heads up! These are powerful demons!" he called out, extending his sword arm and charging up the first sharpening sphere. The red orb grew and swelled to its full size before he threw it to Jonathan. "Make that charge count! I'm gonna run up in their faces and provoke them! They should focus on me first! It'll take a second to howl!" 

Shield made good on his word, sprinting to the front and raising his shield. He brandished his sword, preparing for their attacks. Dozens of blades hailed down on him. Many of them turned off of his defenses harmlessly, but a few attacks landed successfully. A few cuts opened along his arms and legs, but they began to close almost immediately.

It wasn't long before the three of them had found their first encounter. Thankfully, Neo felt as though she was ready to take these things head on. Shield was a little concerned about what they were facing, but Neo just saw all of those limbs as a nightmare to to cover up with armor. The only benefit they may have is the scales protecting them. Even then, they would be softer on the underside of the arm. Deciding to exploit this, Neo rushed in to make sure that one eof them wouldn't be able to swing their arms for a little bit. Each of her strikes landed into an armpit of one of the Mariliths, and they were left limp from the blows. Backing off, Neo realized that she had done quite a bit to it, as it was now stock still and its health bar slowly draining. Maybe holding back was a better idea.

He followed behind Shield and Neo, giving them space. As they moved in, it became progressively darker. Frowning, Jonathan began to wish he had bought a glowstone some time. However, Shield managed to bring one out eventually. Not stopping quick enough, he would bump into Neo and he would immediately apologize. "Oops, sorry" However, his focus wouldn't immediately divert as it caught on red markings glowing on the floor. Red light would flood the entire room, Jonathan stepping back and pulling out his weapon. A surge of energy would hit him as Shield would emit a red ball that gleamed around his body. Shield told him to not waste the extra power. Nodding, Jonathan grasped the hilt of his weapon. After Neo began moving forward to attack, he felt power building in him. Activating Charge, he would blast forward towards his opponents, making powerful blows towards each of them. 

The snake creatures would not stand a chance. Using every ounce of his strength, his blade would cut them, bringing them dangerously near half of their nomral health points. As long as started hitting Shield more, they would be gone in a heart beat.

Jonathan made good use of Shield's damage boost, which was a relief. He had staked his opening move off of that hope, and so far at least, it had paid off. Filling his lungs with air, Shield puffed out his chest and pressurized the contents of his lungs. With a booming cry, he called out, "That's what I'm talking about! Give them another, everyone!" The call to arms rang through the cavernous battlefield, dying out through the roar of the flames that surrounded them. The Mariliths, their great, human torsos and heads momentarily having been directed towards the attackers, now swiveled back towards the tank.

With a great sweeping of sharp metal through air, the attacks began again. One had not recovered from Neo's attack, and another in its rage had missed Shield entirely. However, the others swept their blades clean through Shield's body with little resistance, the metal edges striking the floor on the other side and sending sparks up into the air. The owners of the blades were now struck with the venom that hid itself in Shield's armor, but other than that, his defenses had done nothing to them since their volley had begun anew.

That is NOT what I'm talking about...

Neo watched as the others were qquickly able to start taking the monsters down quite a bit. It was honestly impressive, as Neo had never really been able to do much in terms of AoE damage. Though that was disappointing, she was glad to see that her hit had done some damage. It would be nice to have let it go after shield, but she was still quite nervous about them being able to come afteer her at any moment. And these monsters were probably giong to hurt a whole lot more than the smaller jewel hoarders they had been going after earlier. Staying in the back, Neo prepared herself for another attack against whatever was going to be the healthiest looking mob. Hopefully they could try to get all of them killed at about the same time. That way the could prevent dragging out a single fight against one or two of them.

The power of the players combined force was far too great for the standard mobs. Had they been hitting Shield properly, he would have been able to end it with his second attack. His damage was still increased from the buff provided by Shield, and he was going to use it. Turning back towards the opponents, he would charge forward with a single stride before using his own strength and body weight to swing the heavy weapon. He would strike through the first opponent, the monster turning into dust. A smile on his face, he would send a look to the next to snake monsters. 'You're next' Charging forward with a single powerful wide blow, his blade would tear into both of them, the snakes being slammed back into the wall. He would attack the last one, but to no reward. Backing up into the center of the glowing runes, he would hold his blade in front of him.

The first of the foes had fallen, and Shield could see the writing on the wall for the others. The time to buff was done. Now it was time to replenish what their heavy hitter had lost. Holding out his blade, he relaxed his arm, feeling the energy from his own pool gather at the tip. His armor's recovery ability worked to replenish his stores as the energy was lost, though it was not quite enough to keep him even. With a swing of his arm, he sent the blue sphere of light to Jonathan, watching the player's energy refill slightly in the party HUD.

The mariliths did not seem as satisfied at the loss of their comrade than the players looked. Arms raising overhead, they all drove their attacks home. As the weakest of them struck, Shield had expected it to die on impact, but instead the strike clove through Shield's defenses. It just managed to avoid his thorns. The others, meanwhile, each took significant damage, one dropping down to a mere sliver of its life. "We're within finishing distance! I think they're going to be just below my loot minimum, so feel free to knock them out, you guys!"

The three of them were making short work of this group of monsters, and Neo was doing her best to keep up with everything. Striking against one of the snake like creatures, she noticed that her blade did most of the rest of its health. P{erhaps she hsould've gone for one of the weakened ones, but it wasn't the end of the world. She did notice though that her status effects had activated against the creatures. Sheepishly retreating backbehind the tank, she realized that she had slowed this fight down considerably. Perhaps she shouldn't have been so bold in doing what she had done. She really shouldn't have been focusing so much on one of the stronger ones. SIlently beating herself up about slowing everything down, Neo waaited for another chance to attack if the others weren't able to finish off the rest of the monsters. Hopefully they would save her the embarassment of knowing she slowed it down though.

With the aid of his own allies, quick work was being made of the monsters in front of him. 'Hmm, after all of my alone work, I had forgotten what it was like to have a team to work with. While my rewards are much shorter, the enemies fall faster' He pushed his own thoughts away. He was supposed to be making his connections short so few would grieve his death when it came in the passing time. The health of his enemies were low, so he shouldn't go all out and waste energy. 'Tempest should work just fine...' Moving in, he slashed at his opponents, hoping to take them out. His blade would rip through the snake enemies, slicing them in two and rendering them to data shards. Taking a breath when he finished, he would look over to the two other players. His steps would echo quietly as the room became still. "That wasn't too bad at all" His large sword would rest on his shoulder.

With the party still fairly fresh, Shield gave everyone a nod and then gestured forward in the direction of their prior progress. As he did so, the fires that had surrounded the battlefield died away, and the ceiling lit with a pale glow of luminous crystals that hung in great naturally forming chandeliers. "Unless there are any objections, I say we press on," he added, pausing for a moment for any input before turning and making his way ahead of the others. The mouth of the tunnel was not dark like the one before, but was rather lit by a series of red crystals that lined the walls in twisted wrought iron brackets.

After a hundred paces or so, the passage widened into a large study. A series of desks lined either wall, each of which had what seemed to be an NPC standing over a pile of tomes. As Shield stepped into the room, their hooded heads wheeled around, and a red cursor formed above them with the tag 'Bone Thief' on their respective health gauges. "Odd," Shield said, holding out his sword arm to charge up another sharpening buff. "Hostile human mobs are rare in dungeons, though I suppose not unheard of." He tossed the glowing red orb to Jonathan before stepping into the center of the gathering foes, kiting them away from the others.

Two of the foes were unable to reach him in the melee, but one connected with his jaw and the other across his chest. Shield glanced down at the wound that he could see and his mouth fell slightly open. There was a gash where the fist had struck him. "Now that's very odd. They're unarmed and yet their attacks register as blades somehow rather than just potent unarmed attacks."

Neo just gave a nod towards Shield to let him know that she was ready to move further into the dungeon. Though she was probably going to be tiring the quickest, she was also the one who didn't do much of anything. Sure she had some decent single target numbers, but there was little that couldn't slow her down. They were lucky so far and nothing was mitigating her attacks, but they probably would soon enough and her damage would become nearly useless at that point. Regardless, that didn't mean she couldn't be useless now. Driving her rapier into one of the humanoids as best as she could, she noticed that the bar moved a little ways. At least it was something, even if Morgenstern was going to do that and more to all of them at once soon enough.

Well, not completely dead weight at least. And I can get better, at least I hope I can.

His sword resting on his shoulder, he would turn to the party members. The battle had went easily enough. Silence assumed the party for a short second as the only sound that was heard was their breathing and Shield's footsteps. A second passed before Shield's voice told them that if they didn't object they would press on. Neo would nod as would he. As they came to the next tunnel Jonathan would stop to briefly examine it. Unlike the last one, this one was lit by red crystals that lined the walls, giving them the ability to see through the room. As they walked down the corridor they would eventually come to a rare sight. Four hooded figured crouched over several tomes and books. Jonathan brought his weapon from his shoulder to in front of him as Shield stepped inside. The figures would turn on them, standing as they came to attention. Shield charged another red orb and tossed it at him to increase is damage. Grinning, Jonathan would catch the orb crushing it with his hand. A red aura would light the edges of his avatar as he grinned. "I am going all out!" 

Charging in after Neo, his weapon would gain a yellow aura as he prepared his sword art. He felt exhilarated for a brief moment, the weight of pain and loss being lifted. He struck his first two targets with ease, knocking them down a good portion of health. He spun on the third, using his momentum to slash the blade through its midsection. For the final of them, he would regain his speed before smashing his weapon into its side. "It's all over!" he would shout excitedly. It had been a while since he felt this thrilled, even if it was only temporary.
