Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #61 Share Posted May 24, 2015 As he left the lake behind him, Reu looked ahead to the frozen mountains. He knew the floor boss's name was 'Avalanche' and so maybe it would be here that Reu would find the beast. Reu still didn't feel that he had farmed enough creatures, and so pushing himself onward, Reu knew he would have to find more ice elementals to destroy. But first...Reu would have to scale those mountains, and that was going to be truly dangerous. Reu 15 / 35 (+ 1 Out of Combat Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #62 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Standing at the base of the mountain Reu stared up. The snow was billowing, blowing into his eyes. A thick, powdery mess, it created all sorts of trouble for Reu to see. Worse, the mountain range looked to continue on in both directions for as far as Reu could see. If he traveled he MIGHT find a path through, or he MIGHT not. Looking closely, Reu could see hand-holds built into the mountain-side, it seemed the only way to tackle this mountain, was to climb. Sighing, Reu did the only thing he could, he started climbing. Reu 16 / 35 (+ 1 Out of Combat Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #63 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Reu continued to climb the mountain in front of him. He was struggling, slipping on the frozen hand-holds and couldn't always find a clear path up. Turning, swinging, precariously hanging, Reu slowly made his way up. Finally, Reu thought he could see an outcropping several more hundred feet up. Continuing to climb, Reu now set his destination as the outcropping, hoping to find some shelter from the wind. With each passing moment, it seemed like Reu was about to fall and tumble to a certain demise. Finally though, Reu pulled himself up onto the outcropping and took a good, long look around. He was hoping to find materials, and actually, there was some ice ore hidden among the frozen wall in the back. Moving up too it, Reu went ahead and carved some out for his supply.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #64 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Staring out over the edge, Reu looked back on the area from which he traveled. So far, so good, Reu thought to himself. The outcropping he was in was shielded well from the wind and the snow, and with the sun going down, Reu couldn't help but feel it was time to get some sleep. If you didn't count the several hundred feet drop, this was a good a place as any, he thought to himself. And so Reu decided to get some sleep for the night. He only hoped he wouldn't twist and turn and fall off the ledge. Reu 18 / 35 (+ 1 Out of Combat Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 24, 2015 Author #65 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Waking up to a brand new day, Reu decided it was time to continue his climb. Moving himself higher and higher, Reu just did his best to keep climbing despite the atrocious weather. The snow was coming down hard and heavy, and now it had sleet mixed in, with every few steps higher and higher, the weather got worse and worse. The cold too, was getting worse. If it kept getting worse, Reu was going to have to start worrying about taking environmental damage too. Right now, all Reu could do was to just keep climbing, looking for the next hand-hold, he had to find the next hand-hold, if he didn't, it meant going backwards, or worse, that he could slip and fall to his doom.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #66 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Finally, after what seemed like an extremely long time, and what was really two good days of climbing, Reu pulled himself up onto the mountain ledge. Stepping forward, Reu couldn't help himself, he turned around, and took in the view. What lay before him was an amazing sight, he could see all the way to Snowfrost Town, struggling to believe he had come this far. Turning around once more, he took a look around the mountain. There was a large rock slab in front of him, and the rock slab was surrounded by the white snowy ledge that Reu was currently on. Looking around, Reu could see several Ice Elementals, though he was afraid of engaging them in combat at the moment. Reu 20 / 35 (+ 1 Out of Combat Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #67 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Deciding to get down too it, Reu ran up to the first Ice Elemental he could see. Rushing the enemy, he launched straight into an attack. Swinging his sword high and overhead, he came crashing down, happy to be in combat again. The Ice Elemental responded with a quick swipe of its snowy paw, but Reu dodged it rather easily. He was so nimble in his light armor, he thought to himself.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #68 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Continuing his frenzy, Reu dove into the battle enthusiastically. He had come all this way and wasn't about to lose to some ice monster. Swinging his sword, Reu could hear his blade bouncing off the ice monsters thick skin. At the same time, Reu was hyper-aware of the incoming counter-attacks, ducking and dodging with little difficulty.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #69 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Pressing on the attack, Reu delivered a frenzy of attacks. Left, Right, Down, Up, Left, Right, he swung his sword with great intensity. Feeling stronger and stronger with each attack, Reu felt more and more comfortable on the battle field. And as he got to be more and more comfortable, Reu was having an easier time dodging any and all of the incoming strikes.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #70 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Coming in for his next round of attacks, Reu struck out with a low swinging attack at the knees of the Ice Elemental. Striking solidly ripping across it's knees and thighs the Ice Elemental screamed in pain and solidly thumbed Reu with a giant icy paw. Seeing stars, Reu stumbled back, coming dangerously close to falling backwards over the edge. As his feet neared the edge, you could hear rocks break off and tumble into the darkness below.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #71 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Recovering his composure, Reu leaned as far forward as he could to avoid falling backwards. Once he stabalized, Reu rushed in, ready to end the fight. Coming up at the monster, Reu drove his blade down in a right-handed diagonal slash designed to kill of the monster. To his delight, the attack ripped across the monsters front-side, and it de-res'd into a thousand shards of virtual data. Quietly Reu stood on the cliff, letting his battle healing ability mend his wounds, while he looked over the loot drop. Sadly, all that was there was one crafting material; there was no col dropped.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #72 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Now that he had time to sit down, Reu did just that. The last monster hadn't been particularly challenging, but still, it had been a long journey. Reu just wanted to take a rest. He popped himself a seat, and stared out over the mountain ledge again. Taking a long drink of water, Reu was just awe-struck at the beauty of Aincrad. He could see the sun now coming up mid-morning rise, and the snow was...well it wasn't lessening, but it wasn't so bad you couldn't see through it from way up here. Sighing, Reu just took the view in, letting himself rest for several moments. Reu 19 / 35 (+1 Battle Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #73 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Sitting and staring would only sedate Reu for so long. He was always the type of person who wanted to stay busy. He knew that there was a time to plan, but that their was also a time to be active. Hopping up, he walked around the rock grotto which was in the middle of the mountain ledge he was currently on. Looking closely, he could see some herbs hidden in the snow, Frosted Grass it was called. Reaching down, Reu did his best to pull some out. Sadly, after several attempts, he couldn't pull them loose. Taking another look around, he decided he wanted to explore the area a bit. ID 17149 LD 7 (4 + 2 Dog Tags + 1 Search) Reu 20 / 35 (+1 Battle Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #74 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Keying his favorite soundtrack in the menu, the TRON Legacy Soundtrack, Reu went to work exploring this small circular mountain-top. It wasn't very large, mostly it was just...circular. Round. Round, that was the word Reu was thinking of. Reu walked in circles several times, carefully avoiding the ice elementals in the area, he wasn't quite ready to farm another. Though, it wouldn't be too much longer, he thought to himself as he checked his health gauge. Reu 21 / 35 (+1 Battle Healing) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #75 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Finally, Reu had enough exploration. He targeted the nearest Ice Elemental and rushed at it. Raising his sword up, Reu brought it crashing down on his enemies head with a thump. As it thumped, the Elemental kicked Reu in the chest with a heavy sounding thud. Reu went staggering back, gasping for air. ID 17155 BD 6 (5 + 1 Dog Tags) MD 9 Reu 18 / 35 (-3) (2 + 1 critical) Ice Elemental 16 / 20 (-4) Link to post Share on other sites
Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #76 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Sending and receiving the next attack, Reu rushed at the enemy; his block was easy enough, just a series of simple footsteps to remove him from the attacking monster. Pushing himself forward Reu launched at the enemy, staggering it with a might blow. Reu felt good after that exchange, he was ahead on health points now and felt strong, really strong!

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #77 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Running forward, Reu fell face-first and landed on his face. Quickly rolling to the side, he managed to get away from the Ice Elementals stomp, but still, Reu was laying on the ground whith nowhere to go. It wasn't like he could just keep rolling either, if he did, he was likely to fall off the mountain ledge. With this in mind, Reu did a front-roll to standing move with his acrobatic ability and it allowed him to regain a good battle position to fight from.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #78 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Going forward, Reu attacked with intensity. His opponent was standing right in front of him, and he was going to make him pay for that. He attacked with a series of sword strikes which sent the ice elemental stumbling. When it attempted to counter-attack, Reu coolly stepped to the side, unscathed.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #79 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Reu still continued to press the attack. He was all alone up here, if he didn't attack, it was fully possible he would die. Reu didn't like the thought of dying, he especially didn't like the thought of dying alone on a mountain top in a virtual world. And so Reu attacked, he attacked, and he attacked, and continued attacking until finally, the Ice Elemental responded with its own counter-attack. Reu was so intently focusing on attacking that he failed to defend properly, and as a result, the Ice Elemental landed a critical strike against him.

Reusririasuir 0 Posted May 25, 2015 Author #80 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Reu moved in for the kill, eliminating the monster in front of him rather quickly. It was his only choice, he couldn't let the beast hit him again, and he couldn't drag the battle out any longer. Reu reared up, and struck. Sending it to virtual fragmentation. Sighing, he sat back and looked at his earnings from the monster drop. 100 Col and 2 Materials, not bad, he thought to himself.
