Azrael 0 Posted May 6, 2015 Author #41 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Azazel focused her attention to the battle at hand. There wasn’t time to be worried about whether or not she would finish her quest, not when her life was on the line. With her convictions renewed she attacked the Watacco and landed a blow; the beast tried to swipe its claws at her, but Anna dodged the hit and jumped back to keep the wee monster at a distance. “That’s more like it,†she told herself and readied to go once more. 15402 2015-05-06 07:41:56 BD: 8 MD: 1 Azazel: 17/23 Watacco: 9/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 6, 2015 Author #42 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Zaz moved in to strike the creature, but once more her blow was deflected and the Watacco gave her another swipe with its sharp little claws.“You little son of a beast… why don’t you just die already?†She screamed at the wee beastie. It made a hissing like sound at her in return. “Right back at you,†she spat. Fighting at her level was frustrating, one second she’d be doing great, and then next it was like she’d totally lose it. When she got to town she would definitely have to sort out her skills so that she’d be far less embarrassing in battle. 15489 2015-05-07 16:39:21 BD: 5 MD: 8 Azazel: 16/23 Watacco: 9/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 7, 2015 Author #43 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Once more she and the monster faced off. They sped toward each other and at the last moment, both failed to connect. It was a spectacular failure in skill, seriously impressive. “I hope no one’s watching this,†Anna said aloud as she whipped about to face off with the Watacco again. If anyone saw her in her sorry state she’d have been sooo embarrassed. Thankfully, it was just her and a field of Watacco to witness her in all her lameness. 15490 2015-05-07 16:50:18 BD: 1 MD: 5 Azazel: 16/23 Watacco: 9/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 7, 2015 Author #44 Share Posted May 7, 2015 FINALLY! After round and round of Anna completely sucking, she managed to hit the Watacco. It went to claw at her face, but she dodged the attack and turned to watch the creature sail past her. She chuckled as she spun about. “Getting tired huh?†She asked it. Its movements seemed to be more erratic and the animal was starting to slow down. Still, she was not going to let her guard down until the thing was as good as dead. 15491 2-15-05-07 16:55:51 BD: 9 (+1 crit +1 DMG WS) MD: 4 Azazel: 16/23 Watacco: 6/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #45 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Again the tables turned and Anna took another hit from the Watacco. “You really are stronger than the last aren’t you,†she asked the creature. It responded by making more weird noises that it hadn’t before. She supposed it was “talking†to her, but of course she didn’t speak Watanese so she had no idea what the damn thing was saying. For all she knew it was cussing her out for trying to kill it. “Yeah… well that’s too damn bad!†Zaz responded to the creature, “I need your cotton head fluff and I can’t get it till you’re dead. So just hurry up and die so I can get out of here!†Battle seemed to be taking its toll on the woman, now she was fighting with weird little monsters. She needed to end the battle soon to save her sanity! 15492 2015-05-07 17:02:22 BD : 3 MD: 7 Azazel: 15/23 Watacco: 6/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #46 Share Posted May 8, 2015 What was going on here? The longer the fight went on, the worse Zaz seemed to be doing. (Not only that, but her writer could only go on so long about battling and things. This is soooo very painful. Really. This is what purgatory has to feel like.) At any rate, she and the animal both missed exchanging blows. Neither was ready to throw in the towel, so the battle would rage on. 05494 2015-05-07 17:13:09 BD: 4 MD:1 Azazel: 15/23 Watacco: 6/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #47 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Still nothing, they went blow for blow completely missing each other. If anyone had been watching they might have thought the pair was practicing a comedy routine because both of their battle performances were laughable. “We ought to take our show on the road…†Zaz said, “We’ll call it the dueling idiots. How does that sound to you?†The Watacco replied by making a shrill squeaking sound. “Is that a yes or a no? I can’t freakin’ understand you.†15495 2015-05-07 17:16:57 BD: 5 MD: 1 Azazel: 15/23 Watacco: 6/13 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #48 Share Posted May 8, 2015 ANNND she stabbed it! The Watacco did not like this and it made the ugliest sound that she heard from the monster yet. “I know… I’m sorry, but it’s what I have to do!†Anna apologized. The monster tried to swipe at her, but its claws didn’t reach her. Its health meter was low, and it was only a matter of time before the thing was dead. Still she wondered just how much longer that would be. 15496 2015-05-07 17:25:02 BD: 7 (+1 DMG WS) MD: 1 (least I’m not losing HP *knock on wood*) Azazel: 15/23 Watacco: 4/13 (SOOO CLOSE!) 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #49 Share Posted May 8, 2015 She stabbed it again! “YESSSS!†Anna let out a monster cheer. Her voice growled with excitement. She was so close. The Watacco only had a tiny sliver of health left. If she could hit it once more then it would be a goner for sure. Fate needed to be kind and just let her wrap this ridiculous fight up! 15497 2015-05-07 17:29:58 BD: 8 (+1 DMG WS) MD: 3 Azazel: 15/23 Watacco: 2/13 (DIEEEEEE!) 8/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #50 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The pair crashed together one last time. Both struck each other with as much force as each could muster. As the Watacco had next to no health left, it died, but not before it could scratch Anna one last time. Dying things were always so very dangerous. Still she was victorious! She wiped the wound on her face, although no blood ran from it. It was habit from the real world. She collected her winnings: the cotton and 65 Col! “YES! Buying beer tonight!†Anna cheered. After this day she was going to need beer… a lot of it. 15489 2015-05-07 17:44:06 BD: 9 (+1 crit +1 DMG WS) MD: 9 (+1 crit) LD:11 (going for COL!)

Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #51 Share Posted May 8, 2015 (Since more than two pages have passed, rolling for treasure chest) Azazel sighed and looked about. Scanning the area she saw something she hadn’t noticed before: A treasure box. The woman pushed her way through the bouncing Watacco on the hillside and approached the small wooden box that lay in the middle of the group of creatures. She eyed it wondering if she should open it. The type of luck she was having that day told her no, however, her desperation screamed YES! Zaz was in need of whatever was inside of that damn box, and if it was a trap, then she’d deal with that too. Her health bar was still pretty full so she decided to take that chance. 15500 2015-05-07 17:52:17 LD: 20 (YES TREASURE!) Azazel: 13/23 9/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #52 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Zaz moved toward the box and began to pry the lid open but then something weird happened. Her sword got stuck! She tried to pull it but then she realized the box was holding on to it…with its teeth. Yes, teeth. The gosh darn box had mother freakin teeth. “JUST MY EFFING LUCK!†She screamed as she yanked her sword hard and freed it.The box jumped at her trying to bite her, but it missed. “WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE JUST BEEN TREASURE DARN IT!†She cursed. 15502 2015-05-07 17:53:34 LD: 7 (You have got to be effing kidding me!!!!)

Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #53 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Anna was just sooo done. She half heartedly tried to stab the darn box, but missed. It bounced toward her and took a bite out of her leg. “OWWWW You little bastard!†she hollered at it and tried to kick the box with her free foot, of course, she screwed this up and ended up falling on her behind. The box let go and began to hop round her making chomping sounds. "This is so stupid!†She complained. 15503 BD: 3 MD: 7 (WHY!)

Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #54 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Zaz was avoiding the little treasure chest. She so did not want to deal with it. As she tried to walk away from it, it tried jumped up and bite her in the leg again, but it missed . “FOR FOX SAKE!†She said trying to kick it again also failing to connect with it. 15505 BD: 2 MD: 1 Azazel: 12/23 Bastard Treasure Box: 2/2 9/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #55 Share Posted May 8, 2015 “This is SO STUPID!†She said as she tried to stab the damn thing again. It was far too fast to hit so it bounced away and kept trying to nip at her heels. Each time she’d go to kick it, it would just bounce slightly out of foot range. “I hate you….†Zaz sighed 15506 BD: 2 MD:3 Azazel: 12/23 Bastard Treasure Box: 2/2 9/20 Cotton Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 8, 2015 Author #56 Share Posted May 8, 2015 The damn treasure chest hopped around her and sunk its teeth deep in her leg. “You little….†She muttered about twenty different obscenities and she raised her rapier and pierced right through the darn thing. Sadly the only way she could hit it was to get the little monster stationary by letting it attack. Zaz kicked at the dead thing as al the pixels floated away and continued to stamp on the spot the treasure chest fell long after it disappeared. 15546 BD: 8 (+1 DMG WS) MD: 10 Azazel: 9/23 Bastard Treasure Box: 0/2 DEAD!

Azrael 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Author #57 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Anna was beat and her heath was less than half full. It was time for her to call it quits for the evening. The only thing she didn’t know was where she could stay. She didn’t want to go back to town, it was too far off, and she couldn’t just sleep out in the open. She decided her best bet was to hide out in the barn back at the little village by the cotton patch. She walked down the road wearily, carrying her rapier in hand just in case.

Azrael 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Author #58 Share Posted May 9, 2015 A few minutes’ walk under the moonlit sky and Azazel was back at the little village. By one of the larger houses there was a small barn with a horse and a few goats inside. She checked around to make sure there were no players or NPC’s to catch her sneaking in. The coast was clear and Azazel opened the small door on the side of the barn and shut it behind her. Azazel: 11/23 Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Author #59 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The barn was pretty small, and each stall was taken by animals. However, there was a hay loft overhead; it was the perfect place for her to spend the night. Climbing the small ladder, Zaz ascended into the loft. The roof was low, and she had to crawl on her hands and knees to get into the space. She crawled to the middle of the loft and spread the hay about sort of making a nest in it. Making the space comfortable enough, she lay back into the hay and nestled in. Azazel: 12/23 Link to post Share on other sites
Azrael 0 Posted May 9, 2015 Author #60 Share Posted May 9, 2015 There were spaces between the slats of the barn walls and through it poured the moonlight and glimpses of the glittering stars. She lay there and sighed deeply. Anna hated the night. She did not like to sleep because she hated to dream. It’s why she drank in the real world. Drinking would cause her to black out and avoid remembering anything that happened during her REM cycles. But ever since she came to Aincrad, no matter how much beer she consumed in the evenings, she could not induce a blackout which meant she was forced to dream.
