Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 #1 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Getting an early morning in with a yawn as he passed down the stairs of the guild hall grabbing a bite to eat, he had a habit of sleeping in here due to how much time he was spending drawing plans running numbers and documenting everything that had come to pass so far to run potentials and ideas through a process. This was standard for the nomad constantly jotting down notes or little ideals on quests to undertake or the specifications of such. Traveling toward the center of the village on this floor after attaching his robe to his person, Raidou was eager to start the day with ferocity. The warp gate activates and moves him to Tolbana village to which upon entering he takes straight to the quest board and slides his hands through its roster to peel up the quest he needs to perform following his self set routine.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #2 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Beating a path out of Tolbana's village walls at a quickened pace to proceed on according to plans and keep himself heading forward in a blazing path and continue a build of the sheer resource count at the guilds disposal. This required a daily deposit however and Raidou took to his frequented grotto through the toxic fog that hid it from the masses. Dropping down and into the opening with an instant perception of what lay dormant inside under glowing light from protrusions on the walls, was a huge amount of materials gathered loosely in sections in a standard normally presented by the cardinal system. Removing his robe to set a place for each to be placed away from the point they were received in a mechanical method to which he had become accustomed. Kneeling down over a patch of Tangerine Dreams that were of a strong citrus scent, he gets to work for today's yield. ID# 140848 results: Craft: 6, Loot: 1+[3/3/5]=12, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A typical use for such pungent sources was that of perfumes given the odor was hefty but pleasant when diluted properly, but this was not the only usage such a bright orange leafed object had. No, it would be closed minded to assume as such, for it also worked as a topical antivenin that would create a buffer between hazardous application from hostiles for a few attempted ones which could prove the difference between life and death. An inquisitive mind would assume the same of all things, sometimes things were not always as they seem. A few tufts in a clump in his grasp, Raidou tosses them with an underhanded throw to the red tapestry section cordoned for them, loosely bunching them into a pile on its surface after tapping them on his thigh to knock free the dirt that had clung to them that had not fallen free when plucked.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #4 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A final tug Raidou finds completion of this harvest to come with relative ease in comparison to the prior Iron stem who put up much more of a fight. A tap of his hands produces a puff of soot breaking free in futile routine he was doomed to repeat subconsciously in excess. Tossing the remaining few to the cloak and then taking to its edge and stacking the orange plants up to allow the space for others to utilize, from his knelt position his head turns about in a browse to find another potential fruition to add to his repertoire and move his agenda down another segment. A strange sphere littered with rounded multi colored shapes of gemstones littered in sockets that find sections on the stones surface, Raidou removes his sword from its sheath and proceeds toward it. This extraction of said precious rock was a bit messier than he liked. ID# 140850 results: Craft: 7, Loot: 20+[3/3/5]=31, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #5 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) He preferred when working with the extraction of gemstones for them to be laden in a wall, given he would not need to sift through a mountain of pebbles in a very 'needle in a haystack' kind of way but had no choice to go with the blows that he was given. Slamming his sword in an overhead cleave downward reduces the rock to dust and rubble, leaving behind a nice crumble of rock upon which a few glimmering jewels seem to peak through the small mound that had been made. Flourishing the blade to his right then heaving his weight Raidou manages to dock it in its scabbard and pulling on the wrists of his fingerless gloves to tighten them to his skin. Then dropping to his knees which he pulls the force a bit to not bash them against the rough surface beneath them with a brace of his palm. ID# 140851 results: Craft: 4, Loot: 6+[3/3/5]=17, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #6 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Starting through the pile with a scan of his eye as he starts to heave the more useless jagged pieces away from the obvious gemstones in a shifting causing segregation of the lot. Picking up the first in sequence having unearthed it from the mess he had caused, a bright blue sapphire to be sure he tosses it to the tarp he had set convinced that it would be hearty enough to stand up to the test and impact. The cloth does a fair job of halting its momentum as well, allowing it only a roll instead of bouncing. His attentions shift back as he begins to brush away further, digging deeper through the wreckage for the others that lay dormant underneath the collected stone. He starts to find more and more within the mass and with each tossing it to the initially plucked sapphire on the bright red square. ID# 140853 results: Craft: 12, Loot: 16+[3/3/5]=27, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #7 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A half an hour or so later Raidou finishes up, leaving a good dozen gems on his tapestry in the center of the room and an inert pile of rock leaving only a layer in the center and a nice size pyramid to his left. A wipe of his sleeve on his brow to keep his eyes clear, he stands with a stretch to free the lead from between his joints with a pop or two freeing the air that was trapped in his cartilage. This begins another series of stretches that follow with a few more pops from somewhere lower in his back above his waist. Clearing this type from the roster, Raidou carried a notion to move to the next in tandem with a mental shopping list receiving a check near gemstones.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #8 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Dropping his blade upon a wall with a splintering network of red colored metal content blazing through its surface with a crash, knocking free in an impact that threatened to cause a cave in a bellowing echo that reverberated on the walls around him nice wreckage of jagged pointed sections of the same. With a dock of his blade in a flourish Raidou kneels and begins the task in haste to not waste the minutes he had, days seemed short enough as it was and would not squander the time he had in each with idle moments. A slide of the hand and a flick of the wrist as he begins to migrate the inert from the rich, creating two sections for each as he sifts through the pieces individually and precisely. The mineral rich pile grows with each passing moment, gaining girth with each stone added to it as Raidou works hard away at what remained.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #9 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) It does not take too awful long before the entirety of what lay here to be cleaned and categorized from one another, the nomad beginning to collect the rubble that was valuable into his arms in a scooping motion and an ark of his back to lean down further. There was too much here to move such nuggets in one trip, turning the one to a couple but each finds their place on the tapestry set for them on an emboldened crimson. Clapping hard to remove the particles that had found hearth in the ridges on his skin, keeping his hands free of persistent debris was ideal and allowed more efficient task completion to be possible. This checked metals off a mental list with the last finding a home that would be deposited once everything was collected up, leaving Raidou with half an agenda fulfilled moving on to the next in sequence looking for another potential prospect.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #10 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Focusing his sight on a container as before labeled the network of cobwebs above him as more trouble than necessary, as the pre woven fabric that likely lay dormant within it would easier to obtain and likewise easier to work with. Withdrawing his sword and using the point as a wedge, Raidou slips it in with a powerful shove after placing it in the seam between the lid and the rest of the box. It cracks and pops with a foul odor that seems to escape with it being disturbed. Raidou holds his breath with another quick shove forward that causes it to scream with more snaps freeing the top from what remained to the floor with a crash, a layer of dust disturbed by the activity becomes displaced and taken airborne. A wave of his hand to clear this fog, Raidou sheathes his weapon and starts toward the opening to obtain a closer look. ID# 140857 results: Craft: 11, Loot: 16+[3/3/5]=27, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Sifting through the contents as aged dirt clings to his fingertips, the moisture from sweat making it stick to his skin like molasses. Paying the filth no mind tossing rotted sacks of who knows what that smelled horrible with a burn to the senses, Raidou shuffles past the surface layer before his eyes find his query yielding a stack of bolted fabrics in stacks underneath all the other crap that had no business being stored in such a fashion. Reaching in deeper with the top of his torso acting as an anchor as he allows his feet flight to give him the length he needs to retrieve them. The first a bright pink that remains almost untarnished in the grey film that covers it, the other clutched in his left a deep purple that seemed to reflect the lighting around him in an almost velvet sheen that was rather a breath taking sight.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #12 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A continued examination of what remained inside, pulling out more and more bundled up weaves of cloth and silks it does not take too awful long to completely bottom out what is hidden just out of sight. A nice stack of boards with 3 foot wrapping folded about them quite a numerous amount of times for storage of all shades and hues with varying magnitudes of gloss. Picking them mid mass and walking them over to build a stack of the harvest, leaving the storage to the last step Raidou bunches the lot upon the blanket he had set for them, just off kilter from the other yields of gemstones ores and roots he had collected prior. This left two types remaining with a quick pointing tally of the amount set away bringing back a good ten or so bolted fabrics and crossing it off the list leaving another the next objective.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #13 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Clams carrots, mushrooms and the like were next up, Raidou took a fast scan about and thought that the presence of water would help unhinge the dust that had claimed the pores on his hands from the dried filth that had clung to them. Taking to the water and at first, a quick rinse to clear them of the muck in its chilling cool sensation as its carried downstream. Then adjusting the glasses on his nose to perceive better in the slightly displaced lights inability to extend out this far, just below the surface the almost smoothed stone like appearance of clams had almost gone unnoticed. Pushing his hand in the almost numbing cold liquid, Raidou feels about to the best of his ability with an absence of sight, finding his quarry and clutching it firmly. A retract of his appendage confirms his suspicion as a small line drawn along this rock like appearance denotes it a clam. ID# 140860 results: Craft: 3, Loot: 7+[3/3/5]=18, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) This was a sufficient reason alone to dive back in, pressing his torso to the ground and dropping his right arm back into the water, past the film of green that claimed its top with a layer of algae. A quick flourish of his exposed arm to break up the obscurity and allow some semblance of vision to pass through, wrapping his grasp around another as he uses his off hand to keep his glasses on his face. Raidou then kept pulling everyone he manages to wrap a grasp around, some were just rocks but quite the number of actual clams built upon the shore leaving a decent size clump of moisture underneath them with each addition. A stockpile growing with each expenditure of effort, Raidou could feel the feeling in his hand starting to vanish and with a count of what was pulled free decides against a possible hazardous continuation.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #15 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A successful finale of this section of the play, as if he was following some sort of script that he himself had written in a methodical and rehearsed procedure of the nomad who did not tire of such activity. On to the next act, Raidou composing a roster of the harvest sets back a red flag relayed as a single missing ingredient to the swordsman. Recording crystals had not yet been obtained and before the day came to a close he would have to procure some, keeping the contents of the vault diverse and usable by all the guilds crafters was ideal. Because without an even distribution one would be left inactively unable to develop further which was something he as the guild leader was hoping to avoid. Taking himself to a stand with a flick of his wrist to toss the dripping water from his hand and aid in it drying, Raidou contemplates his next course of action.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #16 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Picking up the clams he had pulled free from the icy cool pond and adding him to the growing mass, creating a slight dampening at the place where they are set on his robe more than likely punching a smell into the fabric he would have to remove later. Just off this area to the last and more fragile material known as recording crystals took to blooming from a rounded stone in sharp protrusions from the base, like pedals around a center stock on a flower. Brilliant and blinding as they refracted light in an oil painting of color diverse and beautiful singularity. They took on a character all their own as no two seemed to appear the same, the reflection of shades being different between each unit, Raidou taking to them and wrapping his index and thumb around the point and with a firm press downward and shifting the tip about to create leeway Raidou started the procedure.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #17 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) A slight crumble around where it was attached as it start to knock loose, a rain of fragmented stone as it began to shift. Every so often Raidou would wrap a closed grasp around the object and attempt to pull straight away from its anchor to which the first few gave no budge. Eventually and inevitably it gives, sliding free out of the rock socket it was housed in, leaving a hexagonal punch in the stone behind with an obvious blackened hole from where it was removed. Raidou does not set this down however, given its crystalline or glassed appearance was not going to take the risk of harm befalling it due to a misstep or falling stone creating cracks along it. Instead deciding to take it to the tarp he had set, allowing the fabric to encompass it and create a buffer between it and the hardened rough floor.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #18 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) The first of many finds a place on the bright red cloth that normally finds a home on his back, a 4 inch rod of prismed glass laid gently upon its surface near other oddities of the varied professions obtained by the nomad in his persistent day by day endeavors. Raidou takes back to the node from whence he came and begins to remove the rest in a similar fashion with a softly placed hand on the second repeating his actions, routinely and scientifically in an almost robotic removal of each in a show of experience and determination that was his signature. Every unit is met with the same care and placement until only an empty stone remains behind, plenty of these rods now gracing the place with the other resources to which Raidou finishes heartily with a pop of his neck and the intention to move to the final phase of execution.

A flap of the first Raidou moves to the crystals first to get them set away and out of harm's way first and foremost. It takes a few moments as this was the most tedious and cautious deposit, the only one that had to happen before the others. The rest fall in a sequence as Raidou bags and tags what was here, tying the bags after the last piece enters into place with a tear of a cable to bottleneck its opening and adhering it to his waist. With the completion of each Raidou is left with a now bare robe to lift and with a flap and a tap of the wet spot on the bottom left of the wear Raidou adds it to his back around his neck.

Raidou 1 Posted April 12, 2020 Author #20 Share Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) Taking one final look to combat cardinals last minute placement of worth before his exit, Raidou spots his last quarry in the shape of a pointed edge jutting from disturbed soil in the center of the chamber. Moving to it and clutching anywhere he could find a grip, Raidou manages to unearth it in a show of strength and a bit of spent energy. A modest looking box of darkened wood that looked as though it was worn down enough to collapse at any moment. But looks could be deceiving and Raidou was not willing to take that chance, taking a quick predatory circle about it to see if any dormant mechanism would lash at his attempts to open it up willy nilly. To his inspection, he finds nothing that would signify such and he is inclined it may be safe to open this iron trimmed container that was the only thing that appeared to hold it together.
