Griswold 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Griswold took his force to his anvil in the clash of steel, each blow ringing through his shop in the pressing steel as the impurity bled away in flakes. A drop of the unhandled sword into a pit of water, the trough screams with a billow of mist as the water boils back the heat that has just broken its surface. A pair of calipers retract the blade from inside, pulling it free Griswold looks down its unpolished and sharpened surface. "That will do." Griswold speaks with his eyes looking down this long drawn two-handed sword. "You won't be a pretty blade, you won't be ornamental. But you will function and function well." Griswold remarks taking it to a grindstone polishing off and sharpening the steel to a silver polish with a shower of sparks. Attaching a handle of black leather with a premade cross guard and pommel with a twist, Griswold retrieves a small rod from his furnace: a brand. Searing his symbol into the base of the handle and with it a flash of blue before another pulse of purple: perfect. A standard looking steel greatsword, of high quality and designed to be fast and precise not heavy and impactful. "You'll serve someone well to be sure." Griswold chuckles as a notification jumps through his HUD. It's from Simmone. "Back to it I suppose," Griswold remarks and retrieves his hammer and shield, the same hammer he was just forging with. Sliding the giant flattened stone with both arms, he closes the side of the mountain his shop was hidden in. Sometime passes. Griswold finds his way into Floor 1 with a flash, the sight of the fountain that creates the nexus of this city in a flash of blue light. It seemed as though his party was already waiting for his arrival in a mix of familiar faces.

Simmone 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #2 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) "There you are." Simmone remarks as Griswold appears in a flash, as she was eager to get a move on as surely Raidou and the other group where already well ahead by this point. She hoped that Gaius would be more effective than the haste at which the other party was progressing allowing this one to best them and complete it first. A harmless competition to be sure, but Simmone was eager to win regardless of this fact. Standing from her seat on the rim of the fountain, turning to the other two who were also waiting rather patiently in regards to how much of this aspect they actually possessed. Simmone was sure they were as invested as she in getting this quest progressing onward. After all, she had a shop to attend to, and although she was sure her girls were progressing fine in her absence she still didn't want to be gone for too long.

Gaius 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #3 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Rocketing up from where he sat, still half chewing a roll he had in his possession to keep that appetite of his under control his choice as a chef becoming more and more useful. He makes a mental note to make a couple of extra next time as his supply is running thin. "Bout time big guy lets get the hell out of here." Gaius mutters out rather clearly despite the food stuffed into his cheek like a squirrel. A solid gulp clears this storage though, dropping the small sheet of paper he used to contain it with it fluttering through the air. A player who happens by frowns at him littering so nonchalantly here in the town of beginnings but Gaius doesn't notice this fact, as he retracts his weapon with a spin. Gaius starts to beat a path ahead of the pack, he knew where he was going: To Lyle to get this party started.

Shiina 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Having issues maintaining her state of alertness given the downtime, Shiina snaps to as Gaius shouts from her dozing state. "Wha...Wait!" She bolts upward as her spine becomes straight in her startle to see Gaius heading out. "Five more minutes guys..." Shiina remarks trying to pass back out. Griswold lifts the little thing to her feet with a chuckle he says "Now's not the time for that, come on let's follow that damned boy before he gets himself killed eh?" In a huff, her face expands, as she wanted to nap longer but pouts and does what she's asked. Gaius was the first to Lyle, then Simmone and lastly her and Griswold. The blacksmith seems hard at work on a piece of plating that Griswold can't help but inspect closer. Each player takes a moment to draw his attention away from the constant hammering. "You've returned eh? Well then you are goin' do what I need done then?" Gaius remarks "Yeah that's why we're here old man." rudely to which Lyle pays him no mind "Fine then, go out and grab me boar tusks, I'll pay you for the service." with his voice just a little snide at the insult the Gaius had paid him by accident.

Griswold 0 Posted March 23, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) With a nod Griswold acknowledges Lyre's intention, slapping Gaius on the back as punishment that lurches him forward for his dumb words insulting the guy. "Come on lad, let's get headed on." Griswold remarks toward Gaius and takes the initiative out of the starting city first. Littered about are numerous boars, as they were more of a staple of this floors creature types. Near the back of the larger sort is a pile of smaller ones, presumably the pups that they needed tusks from. The pack was of decent size however and should be valuable in harvesting quite the number much quicker than individual ones. If circumstances turned dire Griswold was sure he could protect his team from such tiny creatures. ID# 138573 results: Battle: 3, Missed! A basic attack against Boar Pump #1! Griswold leads the charge and heaves himself forward with surprising speed, but alas it seems as though his target sees him coming and takes a surprisingly quick sidestep to avoid harm. This baffles Griswold that something so young could be so perceptive.

Simmone 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) A tear upward as Griswold swings at the creature and draws its gaze for a moment. The very moment was all she needed as purple light engulfs her rapier and rips her forward with blinding speed. The blow connects in an impale, the crossguard being the only thing visible from this point before she tears it to the side and rips it free from the creature in an aggressive display with a flourish. A quick glance as her targeting reticule fades showing that beautiful little symbol back to her eyes, the bleed had stuck. Moreover, the point of her blade started to pull blue signifying her keen had activated in tandem, for what her weapon lacked in power it more than made up for in precision and finesse. Righting her self toward the pack that would wish them harm, her quarry with a flourish she awaits her next action once the system allows her.

Gaius 0 Posted March 23, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Gaius saw the start of what he had been waiting for: Combat. This very thing was what drove him, the excitement of fighting was what he lived for. A green hue dances down the blade of his glaive before he bursts forth with a crash of wind. A broad cleave in a wide arc that glances near feet in front of Griswold with a large ark of green light. In response two of the boars seem to drop low and avoid the strike but one, who the impact connects and it removes the top portion before the defined figure becomes a silhouette of blue. With a burst of blue data and a popping noise in response, this one dies from the stroke. The art ends with Gaius in a slide, using the blunt end of the polearm to halt himself. Twirling the weapon and entering a neutral stance, a few more remained upon which Gaius intended to strike again. "This is more like it!" Gaius remarked, at the differences between this and the first lessons prior. Sonic Charge [AoE] ID# 138575 results: Battle: 3 vs Boar Pup #2, Missed!

Shiina 0 Posted March 27, 2020 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Shiina watched on as the group scattered about, preying on the pack of Boars and despite her own capabilities paling in comparison to the others she was eager and wanted to help. Balling up a rather tiny fist ran up without an active art and wound back for a punch against one of the little boars. It was a strange display of the girl running forward and rearing back with a slap. The blow connects but the HP bar doesn't move at all given the impacts minor output, Shiina chuckles at the creature's small shutter at the fact but laid unfazed by the result. "Oof that sucked..." Shiina spoke in retrospect, as she wasn't expecting it to do too much damage and none seemed fitting as well. ID# 138753 results: Battle: 4, Missed! The three that still stood turned to attack now fully aware of those that would do them harm.

ID# 138754 results: Loot: 6+3=9, Failure! No Loot Dropped! The two started to charge toward the group in a fury at the loss of their kin, not enjoying the fact with raised small protruding teeth forward. The one Shiina slapped the butt of seemed not enthused and targeted her, slamming against her armor that did quite a bit to protect the little girl. A small tick of damage dropped from her HP bar while the other went for Griswold who easily dropped his shield and halted the impact dead.

Griswold 0 Posted March 27, 2020 Author #9 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Griswold pushed back against that which found itself strapped to the front of his barricade, shoving it away enough to strike again. If this beast wanted blood it would have it, winding back his hammer with a glow of orange energy aiming for the kill with a standard swing as it shouldn't take much force to kill such small fry. The blow, however, is seen inbound and as Griswold heaves forward with his weapon the target shifts out of the strike which slams to the dirt, causing a puff of dried dust to kick up from where it hits. Griswold chuckles and retracts his hammer "Wiley little bugger aren't yah." twirling the hammer in his hands as he gets a taste of combat, the head spins in his grip before locked once more in his hearty fist. It seemed despite their age given their size they were quite, in fact agile. ID# 138757 results: Battle: 2, Missed!

Simmone 0 Posted March 27, 2020 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Simmone leans past the wall that was Griswold who had just missed his target and aimed to make due on his draw of its attentions. A quick jab with light blue and purple a subtle yet functional strike forward into the beasts face deals a small tick of damage, for what it lacked in power seemed to at the very least deal some damage out that proved of use. The boar reared back from the stab, shaking its head and taking a couple of steps back with a huff of disapproval from the blow. "That's better, keep your hands to yourself now." Simmone spoke with a chuckle and a smile to Griswold, feeling rather accomplished having aided the guy with her eyes darting back to the beast for check for a status which was absent and for this Simmone was a little saddened as this fight may just take longer yet.

Gaius 0 Posted March 27, 2020 #11 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Gaius laughed as Griswold whiffs his strike with a reply "Jeez man, gonna have to try a bit harder than that. You don't need to dig to china just smack it." Soon after Simmone leans out from behind the huge dude and stabs the boar in the face "Yeah, kinda like that." Gaius felt as though Simmone and Griswold could handle this one fine, and his attentions shift to the boar that found itself pressed against Shiina's plate armor. "Hey dude lay off." Gaius spat twirling his glaive up and lunging the point forward in a jab of emerald light. The stab impales the boar through as Gaius extends his arm forward enough for the polearm to peak out the back of the creature. Turning his back toward the creature he grabs sturdy on the handle with both hands and tears the weapon up and over him slamming the now kabob'd beast into the ground with hefty force. A bang of the shock with a disperse of what lay stuck to his polearm, Gaius flourishes and returns with the weapon now placed handle to the floor near his foot now horizontal with him. "Well come on then." He spoke egging the pair to finish theirs now that most lay destroyed. ID# 138763 results: Battle: 7, Hit!

Shiina 0 Posted March 27, 2020 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) With Gaius removing her aggressor in a flash of destruction, Shiina couldn't help but cheer "Dang dude, that's a way to do it!" as it is reduced to fragments with a quick one-two punch from the dragoon. It appeared as though one still stood and Shiina didn't want to be completely useless here, approaching behind the creature and winding back another slap aiming for the wound Simmone had applied. She focuses and a skill she hadn't used prior activates, a gift from her Gemini. A flash of greyish blue flares before she swings her hand, The boar, however, drops low and she glances the top of it as if stroking its hair. "Damn it dude, just die already." Shiina extrudes with a fluff of her cheeks just wanting it dead already. ID# 138765 results: Battle: 3+[1/Concentration]=4, Missed! The remaining creature's gaze jumps around to choose a target before deciding on the player with his guard down, slamming its tusks into his armored leg. Gaius yelps at the sudden attack "What do you think you are doing idiot, you guys just don't learn do you?" with a marginal amount of HP leaving his HP bar in response.

Griswold 0 Posted March 27, 2020 Author #13 Share Posted March 27, 2020 It appeared as though Shiina was going to have the most trouble completing her task, and Griswold took note of this fact. Choosing instead to take a more defensive approach and allowing Shiina the final attack would be ideal he thought, after all he was sure that if he connected the beast would more then likely drop instantly were as Shiina's stature begged that she would more then likely take quite a while to get running and complete her own. Shifting himself to his shield first and foremost to take the brunt of what the small creature could produce he aimed to defend rather than attack "Soften it up and let Shiina have the kill." Griswold spoke to Simmone hoping she would oblige his request, and see what his intentions were. The boar continued to huff and puff at Gaius's heels, and Griswold also hoped that Gaius would be able to interpret his words enough to not act brashly.

Simmone 0 Posted March 27, 2020 #14 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Simmone listens intently at what Griswold was saying, the words coming across confusing at first until it sinks in. Shiina stood their with a scowl on her face as Simmone looked on to the child, Griswold understood that she was going to have trouble getting her drops from these creatures. "I see, that makes some sense and although I do not wish to hold my punches I will try. After all I wish to win this race, and that will not happen if I take all the gains for myself." A Wind up in hopes that she did not slay her target, the aim to weaken it and not destroy it. Simmone lanced forward with the point of her rapier. The impact connects and Simmone winces her eyes shut, expecting a pop of data to follow. Peeking her vision back at its HP bar yields a small sliver of red still filling the bar with a sigh of relief from Simmone following behind the affair.

Shiina 0 Posted May 4, 2020 #15 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Simmone forces one to fall low with a set up she shouts "Now Shiina finish it dear." while Gaius and Griswold take a more neutral stance, a fluid exchange as Shiina musters her courage and balls a fist. A quickened pace with the cardinal seeming to fight the action slowing her down a tad. But she connects and a small trickle of damage dealt is just enough to kick the boar's HP total to 0. Overtaken by blue light it bursts into shards that rain outward like confetti. "Take that boy." Shiina exclaims, looking about the ground where it fell. "Its no good guys." Shiina says a bit disheartened as it seemed this was going to be quite the task if this was going to be her luck. The area begins to fill with light in the same shade, as cardinal reloads, attempting to refill the targets at the destruction of the pack.

Griswold 0 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #16 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) With the taste of bad luck still coating his tongue, the flash of data as it reforms calls for a response. Griswold shifts forward and while they are still materializing, winding back with a fiery orange light overtakes the head of his hammer. "Not going to happen." he speaks as he slams the now ablaze hammer down in attempts to flatten the beast before it can react. It does not connect as its a moment too late, the pack shifts apart and the head of his weapon collides with the earth in a show of strength punching a decent size pock on the floor. Now spooked the boars begin to divide up now alert at the possible harm that could befall them, kicking up dust and showing warnings with a kick of their feet and snorts. Griswold is irritated, as he was not expecting so much fight from something so small. It seemed as though this blasted machine was determined to make life difficult at every turn.

Simmone 0 Posted May 4, 2020 #17 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Shiina seemed to have nothing to claim, a shame given all the preparation the group had made to set it up. It was also becoming painfully apparent that somethings could not be brute forced through and a subtler approach would be required. "I think you have the right idea." Simmone remarks to Griswold, not on the fact he struck first but that Shiina should be the main focus. An attempt to produce another ready for her to destroy with a purplish hue taking down the length of her rapier, she shifts forward closing the gap to do just that. A blow connects easily as accuracy was her aim after all, and a slight tick against the beast reduces a good portion of its HP total, but it was still too large for Shiina to deal the killing blow. Ripping the blade free and lunging back, Simmone flourishes as the boar turns to face her. She prepares for when it would attack while her skill stasis wore thin.

Gaius 0 Posted May 4, 2020 #18 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Shiina was unlucky, Simmone was agreeing with the big guy. Thinking for a moment before he shouts and flurries his spear in a few twirling circles. "Guess we are doing that then, fine then I'll deal with the others you keep working on that one until she's got all of this crap so we can get out of here." Gaius remarks with a grin, as although it was not all of them at the very least he could kill three of the four. An emerald color in a fan in his grasp before the glaive halts exposing the now lit blade, Gaius cleaves down all he could, easily dispatching two of them with little effort while one manages out of the wide swing. "Well aren't you cleaver, get back here!" Gaius shouts angry that he missed one, before his eyes find that two tusks lay in their wake. "That's all mine then." he remarks picking them up before he starts to flip his HUD open, he now had a moment to get a bite to eat. Activating Sonic Charge!

Griswold 0 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #19 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Attempting to run at the pack and try again Griswold halts her with a raised hand with a shield attached. "No girl wait until its time." Griswold speaks with his thickened accent, as it was not yet time for her to strike. The beasts, however, were not appeased and began to lash out. The first barrels toward Simmone who easily taps its tusk with her blade and with the shift and a slight slide moves out of harm's way. The second heads straight toward Shiina and in response Griswold pulls his shield to his frame and heaves his shoulder to falter its momentum. The creature slams into his shield with power but its small, and he manages to stop it completely.

This was sufficient placement however and it was one Griswold hoped to make good on, his intentions causing his weapon to glow as if pulled from coals. Shoving back harder his shield impacts and in a one two punch, his shield falls to a hammer slamming into the skull of the beast, pushing it into the ground with a satisfying burst of data. In its wake, a small tusk lays in the divet that Griswold snatches up.

Simmone 0 Posted May 4, 2020 #20 Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) With the objective to be weakening her target, Simmone moves to widdle down just a tad more of the beasts remaining HP. This would allow Shiina to get the final strike, but in her eagerness, she plunges the blade deep and watches her bleed activate as well. "F***" Simmone exclaims as the bleed causes it to choke and burst into data. "My bad." Simmone says while clutching her brow, obviously facepalming. Her toe contacts something on the ground near her feet. Glancing through the spaces in her fingers, it was a tusk. "At least a small blessing, although this is going to be quite the lengthy quest if we cant help you get yours." Simmone says while turning a face to Shiina before scooping the tusk from the ground underfoot. A turn of her pointed rapier as a flash of light threatens to resupply ample targets, and given the party still needed more it was a welcome one.
