Opal 0 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #21 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) As the Sand Shark roamed like a predator in the ocean abyss, its massive fin jutting out just in time for Opal to catch a glimpse before it went back below. Staying on her guard, the ground rumbled once more signaling for her to dodge the attack. Whipping her body to the left and back flipping out of the way the red and white blue landed on her feet and just as fluidly sent a powerful single strike towards the hardened belly of the sand shark as it came up out of the sand. In a flash of ivory and silvery; a long diagonal orange slash was carved into the scales of the sand mammal as it dipped back into the earth. That was one blow, and that one blow had shot its HP down to the lower levels. Another attack like that, and it would end things and she could go back to the comforts of an inn and bask in the soothing waters of her bath. <<Battle Engaged>> Opals HP: 104/104 [+3 BD this roll] EN: 18/26 [+1 Regen] Sword Art: Zekkai, 7 Energy, 70 Dmg Sand Shark: 55/125: 30 Dmg ID: 38355 BD: 4+3 = 7 MD: 4-4 = 0 Edited November 12, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #22 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Distracted by her thoughts, the Blood Oath Knight didn't catch the pattern the second time around as the sand shark leapt out of pool of blood and attempted to devour whole. Barely surviving the conflict, Opal whipped her blade with shaking hands from the massive tremor as the Sand Shark bore down into the white sands once more. She cursed repeatedly as she attempted to end the battle too swifty. "Alright, Opal...calm down. You won't be going home soon if you don't concentrate and kill this thing. Now then...breath and focus..." Giving her self a minor pep talk, Opal took her own advice and watched the sand rumble to life again, she would make quick and efficient work on this sand shark in the next round. <<Battle Engaged>> Opals HP: 104/104 [+3 BD on next roll] EN: 17/26 [+1 Regen] Sword Art: -2 EN Miss Sand Shark: 55/125: 30 Dmg ID: 38356 BD:1 = Miss MD: 2-4 = Miss Edited November 12, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #23 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Bronze eyes scanned the area for any shift in the change of the white sand. A tremor had been felt underneath her foot and she quickly moved kicking off the ground. An attempt to drive the creature back was fruitless as it revealed itself, the blood in the sand erupted like a geyser throwing off her concentration and causing her feet to slip over what should be somewhat solid ground. Covered in this blood, the woman had no idea where it had come from. Perhaps it was past victims of the Sand Shark or perhaps it was used for something else, a different lore to the iconic beast of the sands. No matter in that case, Opal cleared the muck from her eyes as she found the Sand Shark once more taking a dive into the cold sands and its body disappearing within. <<Battle Engaged>> Opals HP: 104/104 [+3 BD on next roll] EN: 16/26 [+1 Regen] Sword Art: -2 EN Sand Shark: 55/125: 30 Dmg ID: 38357 BD:2+3 = 5 [Miss] MD: 3-4 = Miss Edited November 12, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted November 12, 2015 Author #24 Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) In a perfect world, she would have come out of this battle unscathed. But this was nothing near a perfect world. Opal had managed to evade the enemy countless times in the desert. Even with the harsh heat or the icy cold chills from the wind at night, nothing had stopped her from evading the enemy's attack. This Sand Shark however, changed to a more aggressive pattern. She felt the tremor thinking it was coming from below, so she moved out of the way. Not thinking of the change, she had drove her body right into the mouth of the Sand Shark. A wild and wet tongued followed by acidic fluids in its belly had caused the woman to scream. She had been swallowed whole. With no light source to call her own, her blade cried out for her as it lit up with a display of crimson, silver and ivory. Getting into striking stance, she unleashed all the power accumulated in the blade and ripped the belly of the Sand Shark wide open where she burst out of it and back onto the sand. <<Battle Engaged>> Opals HP: 87/104 [+3 BD on next roll] EN: 10/26 [+1 Regen] Sword Art: Zekkai, 7 Energy, 84 Dmg Sand Shark: 0/125: 30 Dmg ID: 38358 BD:10+3 = +2 Dmg MD: 10-4 = +2 Dmg LD: 15 Rewards: + 625 Col Edited November 12, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted November 13, 2015 Author #25 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Engulfed in saliva and stomach juices, the woman only grunted and shivered from the foul and disgusting stomach of the sand shark as it wiggled twice before pixelating into nothingness. Amber eyes set down towards the ground and she yanked up a small Col bag and the Sand Armor Potion. They were meager rewards compared to the congratulatory winnings of ending the quest. The extra SP would go a long way for her as she brought about her Masamune. Hefting it to one shoulder she turned back towards the direction of Armadillo in the dead of the night.
