[SP-F1] Hunting Drops [COMPLETE]

[Carambit 0]

Carambit had been tasked with collecting materials for the hulking Mack to use as payment to create a better sword for him; one that would not miss quite as easily as his current weapon does. So far, the only real materials he'd been able to gather were boar's hide, and so he decided to go hunt for more. He already had 2, and didn't plan on using those for anything. As such, 3 more was all he needed. With a bit of luck and a few good swings he'd have this sword prepared in no time.

The player blissfully stepped out into the field in search of boars. He noticed there weren't very many players out grinding today, much to his surprise, but it didn't bother him much, as there would now be more spawns for him. It wasn't too long before one did indeed spawn, and he unsheathed his sword, ready for a fight with the small bull like creature.

The two run at one another, Carambit's sword charging up an attack as he ran. The two went wooshing by one another with no damage done to either party. For a moment he began to wonder if it was lag affecting him, but then he realized that no, they were both just rubbish at combat. "Oh boy. Gonna be one of those fights again..." he muttered. He swiped his sword away and prepared it for another attack. "Well, come on piggles." he mocked the beast "I haven't got all day, here." the boar became angry, and started to make another attack.

Carambit and the boar once again blow past one another, missing each other entirely. He stops and turns back toward the beast, walking casually toward it. "You see? You see this? This is why I need a new sword!" he moaned, pointing at his blade with his left hand "Now come on, surrender and give me that hide of yours and let's be done with this."

The boar gave a disapproving gruff and started to charge for him again. "Ugh this is pointless." he said as it launched tusk first at him. Carambit held his sword sideways and blocked the incoming attack with the broad side of the blade "Honestly, you may as well just give up."

Carambit: 21/21
Boar: 10/12

Carambit pulled away from the boar, allowing it to push forward and lose it's balance. He swung his sword toward it carelessly, slashing it across it's side like it was nothing. "See? You don't stand a chance." He chuckled to himself. After he took this one down his best bet would be to hunt for other resources. After seeing the health bar of his enemy drop only slightly from his attack, he knew this would take way too long to get all of the materials he needed. Carambit took a few steps away and held his sword out to his side, charging up a sword skill attack. "Well, that's settled then." he said to himself. "After you, I'm going mining."

Carambit: 19/21
Boar: 10/12

The swordsman beheld the boar as it rushed toward him. He timed his swing, but didn't do so allowing for enough time. The sword swung toward the boar's face, but slashed at the air just in front of it's snout. Carambit held his breath because he knew this left him wide open for the boar's attack. The tusks of the boar connected with Carambit's side, sending him back and losing his footing. He tucked his extremities in and rolled backward, standing back up to his feet, and stabilizing himself by planting a hand on the ground. "You cheeky bugger," he said "I'll get you for that."

[BD=10] (Hit +2) (yeah boi)
[MD=8] (Hit) 

Carambit: 17/21
Boar: 6/12

The boar didn't stop moving, continuing around in an arc and coming full circle to charge back toward Carambit. He held his sword out beside him in a position that seemed to be becoming his signature stance. The sword skill charged up and his sword blade glowed bright blue. "Come on. Let's go." he tormented his foe. He had every intention of allowing himself to be hit, because he knew he had the hitpoints to spare in doing so. If he allowed the monster to hit him, he could land a more definite blow if he concentrated hard enough. The boar slammed into his chest, dealing some damage to the player, but he didn't mind, as he could now place a real hit on the enemy. He twisted his body and brought his sword down, slicing a large piece out of the boar's side.

Carambit: 15/21
Boar: 4/12

The boar crashed into the ground, and wriggled in an attempt to regain it's footing. Carambit wouldn't move in and strike it while it was vulnerable. He had that sense of honor about the way he did things. Once it was back up on it's feet, the player took off toward the enemy, bringing his sword across his chest in a horizontal strike, taking another piece out of the back of the enemy. Unfortunately, he stumbled with his footing, allowing himself to be left open for an attack by the boar. It flicked it's tusks up into his leg, tearing at the side of it and leaving a familiar red mark. "I really need new gear..." he muttered to himself.

Carambit: 15/21
Boar: 1/12

Carambit dug his heels into the ground and spun on the spot, bringing his sword around for a backhanded swing. The boar was not prepared for this and took a hefty slash down it's left side. It squealed out in pain and stepped away. Carambit watched the boar's health bar drain down, but again, as it seemed to so often do, stopped just shy of the base of the health bar; the creature clinging to dear life. "You see, if I had a better sword this would be over by now..." he looked down at his current weapon. He began to fantasize about the awesome blade that Mack was making for him. There was no time for that now, he had to deal with this boar before any of that could happen.

Carambit: 15/21
Boar: 1/12

"Oh come on!" Carambit growled through his teeth "Just go down already!" he grew more and more frustrated as he swung once, twice, three times and each time missing the blue beast before him. This was exactly the reason why he wanted an accuracy modifier applied to his new weapon; he couldn't seem to hit his enemies most of the time. The boar distanced itself from Carambit and snorted to itself, almost taunting him. Once it had enough distance, it prepared itself to charge him again. Carambit lowered his stance and charged up a sword skill attack. "Okay, let's see if we can't put an end to this..." he grinned.

Carambit: 23/23 (lvl up)
Boar: dead as hell/12

The player began to sprint toward his enemy at the same time the beast began to make it's charge for him. It was now or never. Just one hit would kill it. Carambit faked to his right, but stepped quickly to his left and he was surprised to see the boar took the bait. It took a step to it's left at the same time he did, resulting in enough space for the boar to miss him entirely, and for him to begin a successful attack himself. He cleaved through the side of the boar with his sword, running down the length of it's body with a single slash, slicing it in two. The boar exploded into shards of greenish blue light, and Carambit was overjoyed to see it had dropped both Col and a material for him. "Phew," he said to himself, wiping his brow "one step closer. Only 2 to go."

[LD=20] (Iron Ore x2)

Carambit ducked his head into the cave he had finally found. He searched for hours for something that would provide a metal material he could use as payment for his weapon for Mack. He stepped past rocks and other obstacles in his way, looking high and low for some sort of material. He poked around in the cave for what seemed like an eternity before he head a noise from deep within it, a low, brassy growl. "Nnnope!" he said, pivoting on the spot and facing the other way. He was glad that he did, as he turned to spy a glint of metal poking through the top of the cave in a vein. "Oh... What have we here..." he performed a quick appraisal to see that it was indeed iron ore. He harvested it and decided to get out of there before whatever mean beastie was in there decided to come after him.

Once free from the cave, Carambit swiped his inventory screen open and began to search for his materials. To his surprise, he had gathered two iron ore from that cave in a single hit. "Oh wow..." he said to himself "That's a way better way of doing it than going after boars... Maybe next time I'll bring a light source with me though..." he mused. Only one thing was left to do, now that he had his materials; return to Mack and provide payment for his new weapon. He skipped joyfully back toward the northwest gate, unable to wipe the giant grin from his face. It felt like he was a kid at Christmas again, with a lump of excitement caught in his throat. What kind of present would he get? Would it be everything he hoped for? Would it be heavier or lighter than his current weapon? Most importantly; would it look awesome? He giggled gleefully as he entered the town and made his way straight for Mack's shop.
