Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Back to a staring contest. The boy had risen to his feet by now, eyeing his health bar carefully. What he assumed to be an easy day of hunting was turning into a real nuisance. The bird went back to sizing him up and what he assumed to be gloating at its own ability to remain alive for so long. He could feel the heat rise to his face and practically see the steam coming from his ears. This had to end. He pulled up the hood of his coat so that it came down over his eyes and raised his knife, waiting for the bird's next attack. |~Results~| | ID# 33915 | BD: 4 (FAILURE) | MD: 5 (FAIL)Seul [HP: 15/24] [Energy: 6/6]Ostrich [HP: 3/12] [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 3, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) The ostrich charged and fired off another kick. This one only pushed him back through the dirt though as he had crossed his arms to absorb the blow. How can something resist for so long? Just two. He could feel it. He only needed two more shots to be rid of the infernal bird forever. Why was this so hard?! Could it have been his destiny to perish here...? No, he reused to believe it. Patience. His next move had to count. He had to land a hit. He had to. This story couldn't end here. |~Results~| | ID# 33916 | BD: 1 (FAILURE) | MD: 10 (FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-)Seul [HP: 14/24] (3 Dmg + 2 Crit - 5 MIT = 1 Dmg) [Energy: 6/6]Ostrich [HP: 3/12] [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 3, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Before the bird could retract its leg to launch another attack, he countered with his own charge and cut into its body with his dagger. It let out a screeching sound before attempting to get him with one of its infamous kicks but he managed to dodge it with a swift side step. He just had to push a little further. He could do this. Victory was within his grasp. If he was really lucky, the match would end with his next attack. The chances of that were slim, but it didn't hurt to stay hopeful of such things. |~Results~| | ID# 33916 | BD: 8 (HIT) | MD: 4 (FAIL) | Normal Attack | -1 EnergySeul [HP: 14/24] [Energy: 5/6]Ostrich [HP: 2/12] (1 Base + 1 Rank One Dagger - 6 MIT = 1 Damage) [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 3, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Another clean hit after evading the kick! ...Only to be met with another kick which he narrowly evaded. But one more hit. One final strike was all he needed. Hopefully the bird dropped some sort of fabulous loot after it died! If that was the case he wouldn't even care about the dumb old egg. He just needed one more hit. He mustered up the rest of his strength in preparation for the end of he match.|~Results~| Energy Regen: +1 = 6 Total Energy! | ID# 33918 | BD: 10 (CRIT) | MD: 5 (6 - 1 Evasion) | Normal Attack | -1 EnergySeul [HP: 14/24] [Energy: 5/6]Ostrich [HP: 1/12] (1 Base + 1 Rank One Dagger +2 Crit - 6 MIT = 1 Damage) [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 3, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #25 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) The bird seemed sluggish now in its movements. But it still possessed the energy needed to dodge his next attack. He too was able to just narrowly avoid the bird's kick which seemed much less frightening than before. He was only toying with it now. Keeping it alive until the right moment as it posed much less of a danger than it originally had.|~Results~| Energy Regen: +1 = 6 Total Energy! | ID# 33927 | BD: 5 (MISS) | MD: 5 (6 - 1 Evasion) | -2 EnergySeul [HP: 14/24] [Energy: 4/6]Ostrich [HP: 1/12] [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 4, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 3, 2015 Author #26 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) The bird followed up its fail attack with a kick directly to the boy's gut once again. This was being drawn out but for good reason. If you finished off an enemy in just the right way, they'd sometimes yield loot. If he could get some great treasure from fighting such a tough opponent he was willing to spare a few extra points of his health bar to get his hands on it.|~Results~| Energy Regen: +1 = 5 Total Energy! | ID# 33928 | BD: 5 (MISS) | MD: 8 (HIT) | Seul [HP: 13/24] (3 Dmg - 5 MIT = 1 Dmg) [Energy: 5/6]Ostrich [HP: 1/12] [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 4, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author #27 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Of course it was going to take even longer as each party resorted back to circling the other. Was the fight ever going to end? "Welp, this is my life now. Forced to fight against an oversized chicken in this field for eternity. No loot. No progress. Just fighting." He thought he could see the bird nod in agreement. It wanted this to end just as badly as he did it seemed, but it didn't wish to lose its life in the process. "Hey buddy, you attacked me first. The least you can do is drop a stinkin' item or something when I kill you!"|~Results~| Energy Regen: +1 = 6 Total Energy! | ID# 33928 | BD: 3 (FAIL) | MD: 3 (FAIL) | Seul [HP: 13/24] [Energy: 6/6]Ostrich [HP: 1/12] [DMG: 3] [MIT: 6] Edited October 4, 2015 by Seul Link to post Share on other sites
Seul 1 Posted October 4, 2015 Author #28 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) The bird ruffled its feathers at his statement but he used that opportunity to run up and punch the thing straight in the face with his free hand. The monster finally had its turn to roll across the field as the force of the blow was much harder than it was expecting. Like all fallen monsters it was only a matter of seconds before it shattered into an array of pixels. At that moment the text window appeared before the boy explaining just how hefty his reward would be for felling the beast. "S-Sixty COL... That's it?! I make more than that killing plants!" Ah, what a great day it was to be alive.|~Results~| | ID# 33934 | BD: 6 (HIT) | MD: 4 (FAIL) | Normal Attack Used | -1 Energy | LD: 13 | LOOT: 60 COL (12 HP x 5)Seul [HP: 13/24] [Energy: 6/6]Ostrich [HP: 0/12] (1 Base Damage - 6 MIT = 1 Dmg!)
