She is doing the fighting

Post Action: Equip T1 Perfect [Starter Claws] | ACC 2 | DMG 1 The woman of green stepped onto a field that matched her, boars frolicked in the fields before her - squealing in glee, shuffling around. She quietly made her way to a nearby rock, almost as though it were made to perfectly jut out over the field. Just high enough for the woman to be able to sit upon it, and allow her legs to dangle freely in the warm breeze, blades of grass only just kissing the tips of her feet. Arsine wasn’t really one for battle, so she took the time to secure the claws onto her hands. Silent and

She is talking to Malachi

EAL: Artisan

The plains stretched wide beneath the pale morning light, untouched, calm, and yet somehow hollow. Bael sat upon the ridge, greataxe leaning against his shoulder, hood pulled low, eyes closed. The faint wind tugged at his poncho, the coarse fabric brushing against the metal of his weapon. He inhaled slowly, tasting the air, dry grass, distant earth, and the faint copper tang of iron that lingered like a memory. In the distance, the squeal of many Boars carried over the grasslands. Their movements were predictable, lazy. His pulse tightened at the sound, an anger that had nothing to do wit

Quest Objective: Roleplay interacting with Lyle Tealeaf The next day... Arsine entered the blacksmith, and the clang of metal on metal, and the scent somehow reminded her of Bael. A man she met the day before. Much like Zackariah, this man was old. But he took one glance at Arsine and turned away in disgust. She crossed her arms, feeling frustrated. "Is this how quests are?" She muttered to herself, then a shake of her head as she went to talk to him, explain that he, or someone at least owed someone money. But he snapped back at her. Stating he would not do anything without pa

The quiet between them was long enough for the wind to stir the grass. Bael's hand rested loosely against the haft of his axe, the metal catching what little light still pierced the clouds. Her defiance didn’t draw anger from him, it drew stillness. That, more than rage, was the danger of him. "You misunderstand me, Arsine," he said finally, voice low, a grind of gravel beneath calm waters. "I do not enjoy their suffering." His head tilted slightly, black eyes unreadable beneath the hood. "I only strip away the lie that there was ever safety here." He followed her gaze toward the pla

Quest objective: Return to Zackariah with the materials. "You'd rather watch them suffer quietly than end them cleanly?" "Bold of you, Bael." Arsine said, a hint of frustration in her tone. At no point did she mention she enjoyed the suffering of others. "You do not know me." She threw his own words back in his face. "You think I enjoy it, quiet suffering?" She shook her head dismissively. Denying the thought. She did not. Her interest lay in the chemicals, toxins, reactions - but not suffering. Perhaps, she had been too quick to judge him too. Arsine did assume much the same

Bael caught the sprig mid-air. The moment his gloved fingers closed around it, the plant shimmered faintly before settling into his palm, an item notification flickering at the corner of his vision. Belladonna. He turned the stem slowly between his fingers, inspecting it as though it were some strange offering. "Poison," he murmured, tone low and reflective. "A pretty name for something that kills slow." His hood tilted slightly toward her, the faintest curve of a smile beneath the shadow. "You'd rather watch them suffer quietly than end them cleanly?" The question wasn’t accusa

He stepped forward, and Arsine stepped back, slightly to the side to avoid trapping herself between Bael and the tree, very aware of her surroundings. He asked her, no... stated that she didn't seem to be afraid. Arsine kept her gaze on him, unflinching. Was she afraid? She wasn't sure. "I feel something." She admitted quietly. "Do not know the word for it....Ne budi likho, poka ono tikho? Not waking no sleeping beast." In other words, don't cause trouble. Don't make a scene. "Not enough to run. Enough to be wary." That seemed like a good answer. Despite Arsine being tall herself, the man stil

Before Bael could open his mouth to answer, a roar shattered the forest's hush, raw, angry, and desperate. Axon. The man refused to die quietly. Bael turned his head slightly, the edge of his hood shifting just enough to catch sight of the fool charging through the clearing, sword raised high, the sun glinting off the blade like a dying flame. He let the sight linger, the struggle, the futile hope, before finally stepping forward, his axe scraping against the air with a low metallic growl. The clash was brief and brutal. Bael met Axon's charge with one effortless swing, their weapons

A man approached, caring not for stealth. Sticks broke beneath broad and heavy steps. Arsine straightened her back. Seeing his cursor. "I see you are the reason it is silent." She would not fold to this hooded man, one who refused to let the world see him for what he truly was, hiding behind a cowl of darkness. It did not impress Arsine, nor did it truly instill fear within her. The woman kept her distance, noting the axe he carried upon his shoulder. His attacks would be devastating, but broad - if he tried to strike her she simply had to move closer toward him. She flexed her free hand

The plains had grown eerily still, the echoes of battle replaced by the faint, digital hum of a dying field. The grass shifted gently around them, whispering against armor slick with pixelated dust. The sun hung low, bleeding amber across the horizon, a sunset made for funerals. Axon and Erickk stood shoulder to shoulder, breathing hard, their weapons trembling under the weight of fear. Behind them, Meryan's shortbow wavered uselessly in her hands. Her eyes darted between Bael's hooded silhouette and the dissolving remains of her fallen comrades. Somewhere in the distance, the faint cries

Post action: Gathering Attempt LD15+ To Succeed ID: 256917 LD:15+ 3 = SUCCESS +1 Material. This wasn't a death cap mushroom, no, this was a regular King Oyster - but maybe that's why when she picked it up, it transformed into a material - it wasn't poisonous, nor dangerous. Arsine twirled the tiny gem in her hand before lifting it up to the light. "Is pretty." She said softly, watching the light bounce and reflect off of its surface, scattering across her face. She could see why such things were a hot commodity within Aincrad. Such a tiny little thing, and yet it was the basis

Bbunnie stumbled backward, face white, breath coming in quick, shaky pulls as she dashed away through the grass. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" she cried, voice breaking until it was only a frightened sob swallowed by distance. She didn't look back as she fumbled for her crystal and sprinted toward the town's horizon, the tiny globe of light in her hand flaring orange with every step until it blinked out of sight. The field narrowed to the five left in its wake: Axon, shield clutched like a talisman; Erickk, blade trembling; Meryan, bow slack in her hands; FinnLin, keeping himself between the ar

It appeared as though Aeva’s words weren’t going to be enough to convince Mari to lower her weapon, though that much was predictable. The woman continued to stare at the snow-haired girl with suspicion in her eyes and voice, going on to mention how she thought Aeva was just naive at first, but was starting to understand just how little the girl actually knew about the game they were all trapped in. When Mari referenced the orange marker hanging above her head and noted how Aeva had barely taken notice of it, the girl gave her a brief look of confusion before Mari raised the halberd even higher

Post action: Gathering Attempt LD15+ To Succeed ID: 256916 LD: 9 + 3 = 14 FAIL Another mushroom was plucked from the earth, only to disintegrate in the woman's hands. Wasn't she supposed to find three of those things for the NPC? She supposed she may just come back empty handed if this continued. Not that she would care. Zackariah himself seemed to not mind if she wasn't able to complete the task. The woman wondered if she should invest in the gathering profession. Many were doing that these days, no? And she hadn't really planned on becoming much of a fighter. Gathering would suit h

The screams cut through the plains, sharp and raw. Axon's voice rang above the rest, desperate, trembling. "Aliwyvern! No! Stay with me!" His shield raised instinctively, hands shaking, sword poised, but skill alone could not undo the inevitability Bael brought. Bael's black eyes scanned the group with detached precision. Every instinct, every flinch, every hesitation was noted. He didn't speak; he didn't need to. He simply moved, greataxe swinging in a single, overwhelming arc that shattered the ground and sent Axon stumbing backward. FinnLin adn Erickk surged together, blades raise

Post action: Gathering Attempt LD15+ To Succeed ID: 256915 LD: 9 + 3 =12 FAIL Arsine's eyes locked with the hooded figure for but a mere moment. Neither moved. She couldn't tell what he was thinking, couldn't even see a face. Instead of running, and creating a bigger mess she simply rose her shoulders in a shrug and turned her back on the man, shifting away from the fight. Perhaps that would be enough to show him she was not a threat, would not get involved any further than she already had. Maybe she shouldn't have thrown the crystal their way, a single one would not save them all. It'd

Bael's black eyes followed the glint of the crystal as it tumbled through the grass, catching the light like a tiny, mocking sun. The players froze for a heartbeat, uncertain whether it was a trap or a blessing. Then, almost predictably, Aliwyvern lunged forward, rapier drawn, desperation and hope flickering across his face. "Wait, don't!" Meryan shouted, loosing a shortbow arrow, but it sailed wide, harmless. Bbunnie's hands trembled on her bowstring as she muttered a barely audible, "He's crazy.." Aliwyvern's boots crunched against the dry grass as he snatched the crystal triumphan

The groups cheers continued, and Although the woman wasn't involved, she was close enough for her to hear them. The taller hooded figure, Bael had lead them to fight a group of boars, they cheered. Is that something worth celebrating? She didn't quite think so, but - to each their own. Much like the woman would not celebrate the slaying of a few mangy boars - they would not celebrate nor find joy in the simplicity of foraging. Creating something from nothing. Arsine's pace was slow, languid. She was in no rush. The woman straightened, standing tall amidst the grass, barely obscured by

Their cheers echoed faintly across the plains, carried by the wind like a song already forgotten. Axon's voice rose above the rest, triumphant, "That's how you do it! We're getting the hang of this!" FinnLin laughed, bending over his blade to wipe away the last traces of pixelated boar's blood. "Man, I actually thought we were dead back there." "Not with Bael leading us," Meryan said, smiling up the ridge. "You called that one perfectly. Thanks for watching our backs." Bael didn't answer immediately. The breeze pulled at his hood, rustling the hem of his poncho. His hand rested
