[F21-PP] Currency through Blood (Nature's Treasure)


Recommended Posts

With a quick glance over the guild's contents showing that he needed to bolster its quantity right on queue as every morning. Simmone sends an early message "I'll be needing some col, seems our liquid is a bit...drained." and underneath he sees an account from the treasurer. Gathering his things from the interior of the hall, last his robe, and the return of a platter to a nearby sink. He composes a message to Ariel, finding her more than capable of keeping his speed, and perhaps she was still in need of some herself which would be beneficial to both parties. Through the forest of the forgotten and upon the warp gate, the swordsman would await a reply before he would set out on his own. Positioning himself near the quest board in Tomoika, prying eyes scanning his red robe. A rather sore thumb sticking out amongst the backdrop, proving that it was an adequate target even outside of combat.

While amidst preparations to move to her new household, the blonde received a message from Raidou. She didn't think too much before sending him a positive reply. It was thanks to him that she managed to buy the plot for the project she was in the middle of setting up. She wouldn't pass on the chance to help him back, gaining a little extra in the process. She started preparing her gear, for a second thinking of bringing her shield and one handed straight sword along but ended up discarding the thought. Based on their previous trip, she would serve as a blade to cull the mobs, the alchemist proved himself more than enough to manage the aggro, Ariel herself having taken no damage while grouped up with him. 

As she reached the main setlement on the floor below the one where she started laying the foundations of the new martial arts school. It was still a long way from being done, but at least her home was somehow set up. She would look at her health bar and marvel at the new buff icons she now had thanks to her home. Spotting the red clad alchemist from a significant distance, she raise a hand to greet him when she got closer. "Hey, how are you doing?" she accepted the consumables and started nibbling on then, taking extra time to enjoy the palmiers.

Not after to awful long he receives a response, and it appeared as though Ariel would prove to assist his own efforts today. He had seen the construction of her housing complex and the walls of her school beginning to come to fruition, a bit more with each time he passed by it was a bit closer to completion. Slightly leaned against the quest board with arms crossed, he passes her the list of consumables that were adequate for the trip they were about to embark on. "I am doing well, hows the school coming along?" lifting himself from his tilt, giving Ariel a moment to finish partaking of the goods. He was less in a rush, and it played upon his demeanor. He removed his glasses for a moment and cleans the lenses on the long red robe around his shoulders before replacing them and pushing them up on the bridge of his nose, interested in her personal endeavors.

Finishing off a breadstick, she decided to store the rest of the snack for later. After dozing the aftertaste and cleaning her palette with the potion, she replied "It's coming along well, faster than I expected. One of the perks of being inside a digital world I guess." she offered smile, visibly pleased to be prompted to talk about it: "Claudia's been invaluable in handling the logistics after the three of them moved into the estate. Soon we'll be open for business!" She unconsciously grabbed took the golden orb dangling at the right side of her waist in her hand and started rattling its chains as she turned it around in her hand. "The sakura trees next to the shrine are almost in bloom, I plan to inaugurate it with a Hanami event on the grounds. If I learned something from the past, is that people love a good social event." she said with a grin, expecting the viewing ground to fill up with guests. Deciding to put her new mod to use, she started 'Tracking' the spiders they fought last time they were on this floor. To her amazement she could see highlighted footprints on the ground leading to the farming grounds. She stared at the ground for a few moments in silence with her brows furrowed.

His suspicions confirmed the progress was going swimmingly, as expected Ariel would see it through to the end. "I am glad to hear it, its easy to discredit your hard work. I am sure despite the cardinal's assistant it is no trifling matter handling the logistics. How is Dracul fairing? he seemed motivated the last time we spoke and I cannot wait to see what he accomplishes." Raidou continues his inquiry as he keeps tread with Ariel was scanning over the ground closely. A tad on edge he was more than ready for what would come next "I cannot say I am at a place at large gatherings such as you describe, but sakura is a magnificent tree. I'd love to see them sometime, I have a bit of a green thumb." his comment was rather literal both inside the nerve gear and outside of it, drawing the gilded metal broadsword and holding the edge low.

She nodded, surprised to see how he's taking interest in not only her endeavor but also his fellow alchemist's welfare. "He was a little bit prehensive on moving out of his roman inspired design shop, to a more japanese aesthetics location. But luckily Claudia and Darius were more receptive to the idea and after some convincing on their part he cracked." she let out a small laugh, remembering how he came to her and accepted her proposition after initially rejecting it. "He even agreed re-open his shop on the school grounds, for some reason changing the name too. From the fancy 'Regalis quinta essencia' to the more normal 'Lion's share', it cracked me up when I first heard the name; considering that my own tailor shop is named 'The Lion's Den'... he's such a fanboy!" she tittered.

At this point, they started heading towards the now familiar hunting grounds. The tracks lead them straight to a group of spiders which the blonde wasted no time to engage, already familiar with how their group dynamic worked. Charging in the middle of them she concentrated on the highlighted spider, which was the one leaving behind the tracks, first. After getting an easy hit, she continued spinning her weapon in a wide 360º angle in order to hit all four mobs.

Keeping pace with her a sudden trail of gold he follows suit with Ariel opening the fray with a quick twirl of her polearm. A wide arcing cleave in follow up it batters and traces down the lines she had drawn, dealing sizeable damage in its own right to offset and bring them closer to widdling away. As his sword art completes a sudden pulse of red begins, his hatred kicking in as it does without falter. Before he can manage his guard up, however, a pair of fangs find his shoulder as it spings up above and drops down. A sudden thump in his eardrums, with a heat in his chest. Some kind of poison. Ripping his blade downward and shifting himself, Raidou uses the weapon as leverage to shoulder check the one riding him on the rough grey wall. Another gets a lucky hit on his leg as he does this, correcting his defenses he parries the rest aimed at him. "Seem a bit more ferocious today."

"You okay?" she asked more as an unconscious reaction to seeing the tank get jumped on by two mobs, than a solid concern for his health which barely took a dent. It seems that today wasn't the day to set a new record on 'the amount of times they lasted without getting hit'; not with this start at least. She tightened the grip on her white feathered weapon and lunged forward, cleaving her spearhead at his assailants and the rest of their group. Feeling the now familiar resistance at the end of her weapon, she could ascertain that once more she managed to hit all the monsters around them, even without the visual confirmation. She could hear the sound of claws and fangs clicking around them. "It does sound like they're more vicious than before, I'll give you that." she replied as she surveyed the area around them, the cave now echoing with the aforementioned sounds.

Raidou Recovers 58 HP from Battle Healing

With the beast now off of him, he keeps his guard up and continues to block attempts at aggression while Ariel rips her spear through them with blackened flames. "I seem to be alright, thanks for the assist." he quickly comments, shuffling forward and dropping the thunderclap sword art as a form of set up for his companion. Most of the beasts are trapped in the blast, thrown into variable stones, and spires that jut from the floor in cool greys. Those that are knocked around lay soft side up, their legs coiling toward center mass as an aim to defend the soft bits now exposed. A brief respite as his HP ticks itself up just a tad in mending causing the punctures to begin to thin, the nasty little bugger that had indoctrinated the poison shoots to finish the job with barred talons. It finds only his steel in response.

The blonde would take full advantage of the set up provided by Raidou and like a shrine priestess, she made her blade dance. Cleanly cutting off all the legs of the upturned monsters with little effort and just a little bit of energy, the blonde watched as the rest of their bodies pixelated brightly and left behind the loot they were here for. With a light humming of an old song she knew, the blonde started picking up the small pouches left behind. She didn't even need to verify by doing a count as she claimed: "We're already off to a good start." Secredly, she wanted to see if there were more dungeon maps. It became kind of her hobby to collect them until the time comes that she'll put them to good use. Her expression momentarily lit up when she discovered one.

After cleaning up, she looked at their energy bars and raised her brows slightly in surprise. "Did you get Finesse?" she asked, hoping he would know about the weapon mod and not the literal meaning of the word.

A sharp exhale as his HP recovers a bit more bringing him almost back to full, a response to Ariel's question "Yeah, after our last trip I made a note to seek out something to reduce my energy consumption. Got to increase my sustainability in more drawn fights." he spoke to the blonde as she tore apart that which remained it flashing bursts of data, casting wind around each pop. As she would look through what was produced, Raidou would take a breather and a scan about the interior. It seemed as they had a moment of respite before things would become heated again, the roughened walls seemed empty. Adjusting his frames for a moment in preparation, he was ready if more had shown up. He takes note of the small piece of paper in Ariel's grasp "Fancy those do you?" as her face changes a bit upon realizing what it was.

"Very much so!" she answered with a grin as she added the map to the slowly increasing pile in her inventory. "We'll put them to good use when we get some students." she continued, entering her teacher mode: "These dungeons will prove challenging enough but not impossible to do with someone of a higher level around." her grin turned a little sadistic as she continued: "Not that I'll let them have it all on a silver plate without earning the spoils, everyone has to pull their weight." she then let out a couple of chuckles.

Reverting the conversation back to his initial answer, she continued with a more normal tone and expression: "I did the same when I started farming with area attacks, two handed weapons really are energy taxing aren't they? I barely had any worry for energy when I was wielding a rapier." she added, relieving a little more of her past experiences before engaging another party of mobs with no warning.

Raidou Recovers 58 HP from Battle Healing

Trying to keep up with Ariel as she quickly answers the parading reinforcements with a grand blast of output from her spear, his weapon burns hot as follows in shortly behind her. The art carries him through something slick, causing his footing to falter before the arc goes off. "Damn it..." Raidou mutters under his breath, chastising the system assist directly moving him through the hazard. The two he misses maintain focus on the spear user, to which one gets an attack through her defenses while the other clatter against his weapon in the knick of time. The tamed hatred keeping his iris ablaze flares as he shoulder checks the one that had managed to do damage to the lioness, breaking it loose before it could truly sink in its teeth. Shifting his feet and pivoting, Raidou blocks the two who had sustained the arc from his weapon with quick battering swipes.

Watching him slip, the blonde was about to reach out and ask if her fellow tank was ok but she never got a chance as two of the long legged mobs went for the lioness, catching her off guard. She received the full eight combo hit from from the first one then calmly sidestepped the next attack, evading it completely. "That was close.." she affirmed as she prepared for another attack. A quick check of her health bar showed that she took some damage but she also saw a significant chunk of her health getting restored as her newly aquired max battle healing rank kicked in. She just scuffed and went in for another round, attacking first the pair of mobs that dared to target her, making sure to aim so that she could remove at least a couple of legs. She the backed off as soon as she could move, her breathing steady but with fire in her eyes, similar to Raidou's. Seems they were on the same wavelengths about receiving the attacks.

A quick glance to Ariel's remaining health while she continued to fight, she seemed to had sustained minor wounds. Raidou continued to attempt and draw the hostiles ire, one broad stroke of his weapon removing a fair section of the health they had remaining. The hatred was still billowing of his back during the cleave, but before the attack could connect and punch the control into the creature it lunges for Ariel again with a finesse. It catapults to the ceiling and then falls raking heavy legs across her back. The damage she takes causes Raidou to stir, his normally calm demeanor becoming a rather fierce glare.

I have had about enough of this charade...

The words race through his head as the fumes of red grow thicker and taking on a blackish tinge. "I hope you don't hate me after what comes next." Raidou mutters under his breath, the familiar on his stomach constricting as a form of nod to his raise in heart rate.

In the heat of battle, events passed in a blink of an eye but the blonde's mind still seemed to grasp a lull in which to think of totally unrelated things as her body's muscle memory kicked in. It wasn't until she felt something on her back that she realized she got ambushed from above. Mostly sure it was the same mob as before, she let her weapon dance once more, slashing every mob around them. She was particularly interested to finish off the mob that managed to touch her twice already.
Her weapon it seemed to respond to it's wielder's fiery passion as black flames manifested around the item as she once again made a wide swing that hit all four of the nearby. She was pleased to see that two of then continued to burn even after her strike connected until there was nothing left of them but that satisfaction didn't last long as the one she was initially aiming for still stood there. A low grunt hinted at her current state in case the frown wasn't already obvious.

Twisting his wrist to allow a bunch of ink looking mess to congeal around his palm, he ushers it toward the lion. She very well may hate him after seeing what he kept concealed on the regular, but for now, safety reigned supreme here. The art he was charging falls, the stamina stored drained as it fizzles out. A shell of darkness extends from his hand to her back, peeling itself around her frame and providing her armor and defense. His own bestowed upon her. Ariel may chastise him for failing to strike, may find discomfort, and Juiblex would offer no respite from her already building anger. All that he could hope is that it would give her the edge she needed, to outpace it or at the very least build her armor up for what these things could offer. A torrent of black thickens and twists at her feet, clambering for her heels and working its way up. As the culprit returns it leaps and is sucked into the storm of black ripped to the floor in aggressive appendages with a crash and showering of stone as the other assails Raidou's steel but is rebuked all the same.

"What the..." came her immediate reaction. Her first instinct: to dodge whatever the black mass that has been thrown at her was. But after fighting alongside the alchemist for some time now, she decided to make a leap faith and mentally steeled for impact. First contact came a bit anticlimactic, she felt a small bump on her back which then, as it started to writhe around, she felt... ticklish. "Stop that..." she said with half a smile as she lightly contorted her own body in response. For some reason or other an old memory prompted during that time, one of her father from back when they were IRL. While the details are better left off for another time, a strong sense of pride related to that moment also resurfaced, spurring the blonde to finish off the two opponents that remained.

It seemed that whatever this alien substance was, it meant her no apparent harm as it parted away peacefully to rejoin its... kind and attack (and fail) alongside her tank duo. She continued to watch and gave Raidou a rather perplexed look. She wanted some answers but had to evade a quick attack from their multi legged friends. Being preoccupied with other... stuff she had almost forgotten about them. She showed a predatory smile as she locked on the spider that tried to attack her.

Unlike many times before she activated her most powerful single target sword art and launched an attack consisting of several stabs that she didn't even get to complete before the m ob disappeared in front of her.

The gambit works and holds her stable and giving her the edge, a sigh of relief as Juiblex takes back its rightful mantle. Pushing back and kicking it free, Raidou holds against the pressing beast. With ease as his attention becomes wholly focused on it and it alone, the one that had been after Ariel now gone. His steel begins to scream against the mandibles clamped to them, grinding peeling against its maw. A sudden jab causes it to stagger and dislodge. A press of his glasses and a smile, a better reaction then most. He had to give the lion credit, she's the first that were not terrified the moment it showed. It spoke leagues to her courage, her strength. But he knew not what to expect from a current frontliner, who knew what it was they've seen in his absence. Dropping his hand from his brow and using upturned fingers in a bend he taunts the creature "I will take away your world."

Seeing her partner taunt their last prey, the blonde took no time in launching herself forward and performed a vertical upwards slash that split it in two equal parts before exploding in its death animation. Taking a quick glance around, the blonde saw no immediate threats so she took their respite as an opportunity to cast him a raised eyebrow. "What exactly did you casually throw on me?" she asked in a light tone as she gathered the last pieces of the remaining loot. At first she thought it was some sort of new mob that managed to sneak on them while distracted. Now that the adrenaline rush started subduing, she could think more clearly and even coin that goo as possibly a slime familiar??? A unique type whatever the case was since she was sure she had never seen or even heard of a familiar like that, most of the ones known by her were some sort of animal variation.
