Takao 0 Posted August 1, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) Takao took the initiative to engage the remaining two bandits rather than waiting for them to strike first. He began to circle them with his blade held outward, green eyes observing them vigilantly, looking carefully for movement that would lead him to believe they were about to move. When he put the war cleaver wielding Bandit between himself and the spear wielding bandit, he advanced forward. Takao placed his weight on his front foot as the war cleaver was swung, and quickly shifted his weight onto his back leg. The cleaver missed, and Takao stepped forward again, slashing into the bandit's side. He drew his sword back just as the other bandit came forward and evaded the incoming spear, then prepared himself for another attack. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26008(BD+MD3+CD) || 26009(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 8 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *7* - 3(EVA) = 4 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]] » CD : [[ 6 ]] « Takao »[[ 42/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 27/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) = -8HP) « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 35/35 HP ] Edited August 1, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 1, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The bandits provided him with another opening as they shifted positions. The bandit that wielded the war cleaver began to move to allow the spear wielding bandit through to attack, where he then prepared to strike Takao while he attempted to dodge. Takao, however, managed to stay at least one step ahead of the two. He kept his focus centered on the injured bandit and intercepted him as he tried to reposition himself. Takao's blade caught his midsection and cleaved halfway through the digital flesh before the sword was drawn out. He ducked under the cleaver that was swung at his head, and managed to negate most of the damage inflicted by the spear scratching his left arm.- - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26012(BD+MD3+CD) || 26013(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 10 ]] (+2 critical damage)» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *2* - 3(EVA) = -1 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]] (+1 critical damage) » CD : [[ 8 ]] « Takao »[[ 41/49 HP ]] (4(DMG) + 1 critical - 4(MIT) = -1 HP) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 17/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) + 2 critical = -10HP) « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 35/35 HP ] Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 1, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted August 1, 2015 (edited) The stalemate between the two parties continued, although it was becoming clear that Takao was gaining the upper hand. Even on his lonesome, his armour did an excellent job of handling the damage they dished out. He was sure that without it, he would've very likely been dead by now. His armour also did an excellent job of augmenting his evasiveness, which did wonders for his survivability in general. Both bandits swung at him with their respective weapons and missed, although Takao was just as unfortunate in his efforts to return the attempted damage.- - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26018(BD+MD3+CD) || 26019(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 3 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *4* - 3(EVA) = 1 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *3* - 3(EVA) = 0 ]] » CD : [[ 3 ]] « Takao »[[ 41/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 17/35 HP ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 35/35 HP ] Edited August 2, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 2, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted August 2, 2015 "This is taking a lot longer than I expected it to." Takao muttered under his breath after casting a fleeting glance the sky. It had darkened significantly since he'd left the town. It hadn't gotten to the point where it would become difficult to fight, though at the rate the fight was going, he had no doubts that it would get there soon enough. His attention returned to and fixed on the weakened bandit that stood in front of him, glaring daggers at the brunet who had inflicted a considerable amount of damage unto his digital self. The bandit took a step forward, which jerked Takao into action. He mimicked the movement and also moved closer, putting his blade within range of the bandit. Takao swung first with the brigand following closely behind, although Takao's strike landed and interrupted the large blade that threatened to crash into his right shoulder. He tore the sword from the bandit and backed off away from the other's attempt at spearing him with the ... well. spear. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26020(BD+MD3+CD) || 26021(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 10 ]] (+2 critical damage)» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *7* - 3(EVA) = 4 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *8* - 3(EVA) = 5 ]] » CD : [[ 1 ]] « Takao »[[ 41/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 7/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) + 2 critical = -10HP) « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 35/35 HP ] Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #25 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Takao's sword clashed with the bandit's cleaver and knocked it aside, just in time for his green eyes to set on the spear that shot forward toward his face. His eyes widened and his eyes knitted close together as he grunted and strained himself to lean back. His left arm shot upward and grappled the wooden stave to move it away, and with the opportunity he'd provided himself, Takao righted his position and stepped forward. He thrust his blade into the spear wielding bandit's midsection, knocking away a good portion of its health. He would've preferred to finish off the last bandit, but this opportunity had presented itself in a much more favourable way.- - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26020(MD3+CD) || 26021(BD+MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 7 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *7* - 3(EVA) = 4 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *8* - 3(EVA) = 5 ]] » CD : [[ 5 ]] « Takao »[[ 41/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 7/35 HP ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 27/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) = -8HP) Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The fight droned on for much longer than Takao would've liked it to. Darkness had definitely started to take its hold over the floor, though he was lucky enough for the bandits' fire to be illuminating their battlefield. A failed attempted at parrying the war cleaver swung for his stomach had left him with a rather unpleasant wound across his midsection, though his Battle Healing skill ticked the damage away, and even recovered a bit in the process. "That skill is really inconsistent," Takao said aloud as he turned his thoughts to words, narrowly evading the spear that was thrust toward him as he did. "I won't be able to rely on it in a pinch. Guess I really will need to pick up some healing items after all."- - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26126(BD+MD3+CD) || 26127(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 1 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]] (+1 critical damage)» MD 4 : [[ *3* - 3(EVA) = 0 ]] » CD : [[ 10 ]] (2 HP Recovered) « Takao »[[ 42/49 HP ]] (4(DMG) + 1 critical - 4(MIT) = -1 HP) (2 HP Recovered) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 7/35 HP ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 27/35 HP ]] Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #27 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) "Ow." Takao mumbled unenthusiastically as the bandit's cleaver cut into his left arm after a second failed attempt at parrying. The fatigue of battle was taking its toll on him, though the other two remained largely unaffected by the lengthy process of combat. The spear was the next to inflict a small portion of damage to him, ever so slowly chipping away at his health. "Ow! Come on, man! That's startin' to get real old!" His complaints fell upon deaf ears as the bandits only snickered at his misfortune and their success before returning to glaring at him like he was their prey. The corner of his mouth tugged upward and his eyebrows furrowed, his resolve for the fight strengthening.- - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26128(BD+MD3+CD) || 26129(MD4) ]]» BD : [[ 2 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]] (+1 critical damage)» MD 4 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]] (+1 critical damage) » CD : [[ 9 ]] « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] (4(DMG) + 1 critical - 4(MIT) = -1 HP) | (4(DMG) + 1 critical - 4(MIT) = -1 HP) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 7/35 HP ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) »[[ 27/35 HP ]] Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #28 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) The opportunity Takao had been looking for finally presented itself. The bandit in front of him, wielding a massive and menacing looking war cleaver, swung down upon him with brute force. Takao baited the slash and let it come closer and closer until the very last moment, when he moved suddenly. The cleaver crashed down into the ground, and Takao stepped forward. His blade cut straight through both the arms and a portion of the brigand's torso. As the sword left the bandit's body, it took the last of his health with it, depleting the gauge to zero and reducing the bandit until flickering shards of data. Takao's focus didn't waver for even a slightest as he redirected his attention to the last bandit, narrowly dodging the spear that was thrust toward his face. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26130(MD3) || 26131(BD+MD4+LD+CD) ]]» BD : [[ 7 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]] (+1 critical damage)» MD 4 : [[ *4* - 3(EVA) = 1 ]] » CD : [[ 7 ]]» LD : [[ 20 ]] « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] (Damage negated by turn order) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ 0/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) = -8 HP) « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 27/35 HP ]]* REWARD *+1 Uncommon Item (Unclaimed)500 col Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #29 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Only one of the original four bandits remained. They were at a stalemate again, neither willing to try and risk an attack. Takao was at the disadvantage of range, the spear clearly outreached his own sword by what felt like a mile. The bandit, however, had learned of how ineffective its attacks were and how little damage he could inflict upon his brown haired assailant. The two stared each other down, illuminated by the crackling fire only meters away. "How 'bout we wrap this up, yeah? It's gettin' pretty late. I'm tired, you're ti-whoa!" Takao stepped back to leave the range of the spear that was thrust toward his face by the bandit who moved forward while he spoke. "Well, alright then, scratch that. It must just be me that's tired." - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26141 ]]» BD : [[ 3 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *5* - 3(EVA) = 2 ]] » CD : [[ 2 ]] « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 27/35 HP ]] Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #30 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Takao opted for an offensive approach toward the last bandit. Defending against a spear was a difficult task, but once he got past that pointed end, the weapon was basically just a blunt stave. A very cumbersome blunt stave at that. He stepped forward and baited the bandit into thrusting. When he did, Takao caught the underside of the spear and pushed it up and away from him. He used his left hand to grapple the wooden stave and hold it, then thrust his sword forward with his right hand. The blade caught in the bandit's gut and chewed away at a sizable amount of health, until Takao pulled the sword out and prepared for another strike. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26142 ]]» BD : [[ 9 ]] (+1 critical damage)» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *7* - 3(EVA) = 4 ]] » CD : [[ 3 ]] « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 18/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) + 1 critical = -9 HP) Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #31 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Takao kept the spear pushed aside despite the bandit's protesting and attempts at pulling it back. He pushed his forward forward again and thrust it back into the brigand's stomach. He twisted and turned the blade until it wiggled free again, then raised his leg and kicked the bandit off his sword. In response, the bandit thrust forward with its spear, aiming to pierce Takao's head. He pulled it to the side just in time and sustained only a deep gash underneath his eye, a point more than usual knocked off his health gauge. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26150 ]]» BD : [[ 7 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *10* - 3(EVA) = 7 ]] (+2 critical damage) » CD : [[ 2 ]] « Takao »[[ 38/49 HP ]] (4(DMG) + 2 critical - 4(MIT) = -2 HP) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 10/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) = -8 HP) Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #32 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Takao glanced up at his health gauge and watched the damage the bandit dealt tick away. He chuckled lightly and returned his attention to his opponent, the last that remained of the original group, his health teetering on the edge between green and orange. "Well, that didn't work out too well in the end for ya', did it?" Takao grinned slightly at his own mindless banter. He was well within the mindset to know that the artificial intelligence couldn't understand him in the slightest, but it was still entertaining nonetheless. Takao parried the incoming spear away with the flat of his sword and pushed it up, then used the same momentum to cut into the bandit a third time. Its health dropped down until the orange turned red, and Takao prepared to finish the fight. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26153 ]]» BD : [[ 7 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *5* - 3(EVA) = 2 ]] » CD : [[ 12 ]] (2 HP Recovered) « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] (2 HP Recovered) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 2/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) = -8 HP) Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #33 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The bandit twisted his grip on the spear's wooden stave and spun the polearm in his grasp. The end of the stave knocked Takao's sword away, though the blade stayed within his grasp. The bandit then lowered himself to a crouch and pivoted on his heel while extending his foot, sweeping Takao off his legs. His back hit the ground hard, although he felt no legitimate pain. He watched with wide eyes and furrowed eyebrows as the bandit jumped into the air and slammed the spear down into his chest. The damage the bandit dealt, unfortunately, was immediately healed by Takao's unpredictable battle healing skill ticking in. When the shock of the sudden movements washed away, a smile soon accompanied his surprised expression. "Whoa. That was sweet, man! Why didn't you do that from the start?" - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26158 ]]» BD : [[ 5 ]]» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *10* - 3(EVA) = 4 ]] (+2 critical damage) » CD : [[ 11 ]] (2 HP Recovered) « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] (4(DMG) + 2 critical - 4(MIT) = -2 HP) (2 HP Recovered) « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 2/35 HP ]] Link to post Share on other sites
Takao 0 Posted August 3, 2015 Author #34 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Takao waited for the bandit to pull the spear from his chest before he moved. The instant the digital weapon left his body, Takao tucked his legs up toward his chest and rolled his weight backward. He thrust his hands back behind his head and pushed his weight up off the ground, then extended his legs again. His boots hit the ground with a thud, and with his upright position, he took a step forward and thrust his blade into the bandit's chest. The last of the brigand's health ticked away until the few remaining points were gone, and the bandit shattered into data. Takao exhaled a long breath and wiped his face, wearily placing his sword back into its scabbard. Following his long breath was an even longer yawn, and he quickly resolved to leave the floor and head back to his shop for some much needed rest. - - « Battle Sequence »Takao » Bandit 1 » Bandit 2 » Bandit 3 » Bandit 4 » ID : [[ 26159 ]]» BD : [[ 9 ]] (+1 critical damage)» MD 1 : [[ */* - 3(EVA) = / ]]» MD 2 : [[ *6* - 3(EVA) = 3 ]]» MD 3 : [[ *9* - 3(EVA) = 6 ]]» MD 4 : [[ *5* - 3(EVA) = 2 ]] » CD : [[ 5 ]] « Takao »[[ 40/49 HP ]] « Bandit 1 (MD1) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 2 (MD2) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 3 (MD3) »[[ *DEAD* ]] « Bandit 4 (MD4) » [[ 0/35 HP ]] (8(DMG) + 1 critical = -9 HP) * REWARD *275 col Edited August 3, 2015 by Takao Link to post Share on other sites
