Mari

When Argumail turned away from her, she rolled her eyes. She didn't like being spoken to like a child. She didn't understand the term 'A war on two fronts' but she assumed he meant 'divide and conquer' a strategy that involved just that, dividing the enemy into smaller units so each smaller unit could be defeated easier than attacking them on a whole.

Mari nodded, "I Can be uhm, o-on point!" She exclaimed. Pumping her fist in the air, "we will beat them all!" She added in excitement. Then Argumail mentioned the Alpha Wolf - She gave him a virtuous grin. "That's the big bad boss isn't it?" She asked as she followed him through the town.

 

Mari grinned, giving a shrug when he asked if there was something she wanted. "Don't flatter yourself, sweetheart. I'm just musing to myself - we just so happen to be going the same direction, I am just going to head back into town, pick up some food." She turned on her heel, now walking backward, giving her stomach a slight rub. "We may not need to eat, but I do enjoy the taste of food. Then its off to F2 to practise fighting~" 

Mari turned back on her heel, her words were half true, she didn't exactly have a reason to go back into town, but since she was going there she would check to see if there was anything worthwhile before heading off to the second floor, she did want to practise fighting, to gain more items, items meant she had something to barter with - to sell and gain more Col.

Mari gave him a salute as she parted ways with Life, turning into one of the many stores in town. "Ta-ta, an-gry, lit-tle blackbird~" She sang with a wink.

You've joined a RP site but don't want to RP with others?

hahahah, to each their own!

Have fun here, yes?

Mari gave a light shrug, she wasn't going to argue the point. If he didn't want to be called by any sort of title she certainly would comply, since, he was right, he hadn't earned any sort of respect from the woman. No one had. Her ears perked at the mention of hell-whatever, the thing that Kazuya had called his split personality syndrome. She tried hard not to roll her eyes when Argumail said he suffered from it too. In other words he also lost his temper quickly, and just blamed it on some non existant thing. Great...she sure knew how to pick them...

It was funny, how the two continued to butt heads, under any other circumstance they may, just may have gotten along - but even then; they'd have a vitriolic friendship at best. Mari paused in her step, and turned on her heel giving him a cheeky grin as she tapped her nose. "Now now, I never called it black mail. I was simply thinkin' aloud." Mari was beginning to have fun, her frustrations from earlier alleviated, she started following Life- humming softly, before breaking out into a sing-song voice. "An-gry lit-tle blackbird, wander-ing, lon-e-ly~" She fell back into a low hum, figuring she'd have more fun following him than some boring monster hunt.

 

Mari inwardly sighed as Tristan spoke about her items, as though she was some first rate fool. She may not understand the finer mechanics of the game, bu she damn well knew what the hell evasion meant. Instead of saying what she thought, Mari gave a soft laugh. "Yes, being hit isn't very nice!" Mari gave a nod as she followed Tristan once more, down the path further into the outskirts of the town. A building came into view, that looked a tad larger than the other houses dotted along the field, "I-is that it?" Mari asked.

Oh god I hope it is, I want this to be over She thought to herself, feeling frustrated at being constantly 'pleasant' around him.

The two were at an impasse - both had irritated each other, and both had stalwart in their behaviour and mannerisms. Mari returned his irritated gave with one of her own, even going as far as to grind her own teeth in an eggagerated manner, just to get on his nerves. Mari watched him go, then pause to make a rude remark.

"Oh, sweetie," Mari began, "Your thanks is me not telling anyone about Kazuya's lil' hissy fit." She paused, tapping her lip in mock thought, "then again... I did meet Argumail the other day...wonder what he'd have to say about it all?" Mari shrugged, turning her back on Life. Of course, her words were only half a threat, she didn't have a reason to tell anyone anything, unless they offered her something in return. Mari didn't intend to argue with the man, she just did not get along with people unless she was putting on a facade. She was blunt, rude, snide - and such things irked others.

Mari wandered on her own way for a while, passing a few Frenzy Plants; "mmm maybe I should look for something else, boars? Are they on this floor?" She mused to herself. 
 

Mari was on one of her usual strolls through the town, she noticed a gathering of players near the town centre - she had half a mind to avoid the whole lot f them; but there was an odd scent in the air, and curiosity got the better of her. The small girl pushed her way through the crowd, not bothering with an 'excuse me' or a 'I'm sorry'

Mari stumbled forward, stopping short of a green haired witch, giggling to herself as she stirred a large cauldron that to Mari, smelt suspiciously of cumin. 
 

"Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

A Witch's riddle for the mind;

Hope your answer's just like mine!

Its okay if you dare be clever;

 Maybe I'll make you live forever!"

 

Mari scratched her head, "Uhm...." Glancing around she noticed that other players were whispering things into the witches ear, answers maybe? How hard could the riddles be? "Alright, let's hear them." Mari said, feeling a tad silly talking to an NPC, but the witch responded, giving her all three riddles. Mari, upon hearing the first one gave a snort, by the time the third riddle was finished Mari was laughing. She knew the answers, she knew the answers to all three.

"Oh my!" She beamed, "is this meant to be hard? Because it really, really isnt... oh my..." 

Mari sauntered up to the witch, and just as the other players had done she whispered her answers into the NPC's ear. Confident she was correct.

DIRE WOLF

"Hmm? Oh my, I wouldn't kill anyone. What is the use of a dead man?" Mari sounded annoyed that Life would assume that much of her, but she didn't look up from her nails till she had gotten the last bit of dirt out from them, "What was-" She paused  as she felt a rush of wind fly by her; as Life had taken out the Frenzy Plant that had re-spawned behind her. Mari turned around, "Oops."  

She patted down her skirt, giving a shrug. "Aloof, mayhaps. It's not like I really have a goal right now." Life looked at her, dark brows furrowed in annoyance, expecting some sort of apology? Thanks? He was barking up the wrong tree, Mari wasn't the type to say either of those things lightly. "Whatever happened to going back to the inn? Hmm?"

 

Yeh I will tackle that in an hour ish once I have cooked and eaten tea.

Level and health please?

Yes yes,

I use images in photoshop and edit a health bar I have; I also have SAO text font so I use that too :3

Mari yawned, closing her eyes and stretched. She opened them to see a peach haired girl staring down at her, long hair cascading over her shoulders, copper eyes wide with curiosity. 

"Eh?"

The other girl blinked, seeing that the conversation wouldn't go anywhere unless she asked something, Mari spoke up. "Take a picture sweetheart, it lasts longer." She sat up, brushing blades of grass off of her top and out of her hair. "Don't think I've seen another girl before," Mari commented, coldly. "starting to assume they all died or something."

Mari rolled her eyes, "Oh don't give me that high and mighty look. They're yours huh?" Mari grinned, crossing her arms over her chest. "My I didn't know people were a commodity you could own my, oh my, how times have changed." 

The pink haired girl quirked a brow, as the man mentioned he was stressed, and going toward the Inn. Why tell her that? Did he want her to apologize? Hah, fat chance. It was his next words that came as a bit of a shock to her, how he mentioned that he didn't care for Kazuya, or anyone else within the guild for that matter. He only kept them around for their strength. "Guess we have that in common, I've yet to meet anyone I give a damn about. The difference between us is that I wouldn't put up with that immature crap."
 

As he walked past her Mari gave a shrug, assuming he'd be on his way back to the town, and to the Inn. She glanced down at her nails only to realize that some dirt had lodged into them from the fight, she muttered under her breath, plopping down on the ground to use her dagger to dig the dirt out. Unbeknownst to her, the Frenzy Plant had re spawned just behind her.

**NB I refreshed the page 3 times to get the 3 different loot rolls please let me know if is this is not a-ok!*


Mari, after hearing him say that he would not be able to obtain or see any loot gave a small smile. That was fantastic! She needed it, she needed to improve her skills, her weapons...it seems as though her days wandering through the town aimlessly had been wasted. For everyone was miles ahead of her. She glanced around and sure enough she could see a few floating orbs where the boars had been killed, she wandered up to the nearest one. 

Rolled a 17 on the d20 (loot) dice.

 Score! At least, Mari assumed it was a decent score, it was a mere 25 COL but at this stage; it was better than nothing.  She turned to Tristan, smiling sweetly pretending to be excited about it, "Oh! Oh! I got 25 Col!" She hurriedly went to the next loot drop.

Rolled a 4 on the d20 (loot) dice.


The second one, however - was not as pleasant; it yeilded nothing, nadda. Zip.

 

Rolled a 20 on the d20 (loot) dice.

​
As if to make up for the earlier failed loot, Mari managed to obtain an item, it was honestly the first actual item she had looted, from anything. She looked at the name "cotton...boots of....flight?" She looked at the stats; "Evasion...+1...I guess that is a good thing?" She asked, honestly confused as she looked up at Tristan, game mechanics were not her strong point. 

Mari equipped the shoes, tapping her toes on the ground to ensure they were on properly. "I guess I'm ready."

Mari moaned loudly, she was lying on the grassy plain on the second floor, pink hair and clothes strewn around her. She had wandered up this way to attempt to scab some food off of someone. Mari whined, "I want Fooooood. GOOD Foood....stupid game..."  She hadn't really eaten much, barring bread and some goat meat. She began to wish that she had taken up the cooking profession so she could, well, cook - she could probably easily enough buy or loot monster meats; boars, goats and the like - but when it came to cooking it, she'd probably just burn it all.

 

The creature was more or less dead, any hit right now would kill it. 
 

• Rolled a 6 on the d10 (battle) dice. Success!
• Frenzy Plant 0/5 health DEAD

Mari chose to stomp on its head, rather than attack with her dagger. Well, it was more of a jump than a stomp. She jumped up and crushed its head underneath her feet, the plant gargled, before bursting into a pixellated mess. "Take THAT stupid Kazuya.."  Just as she had stomped the poor plant into oblivion she heard a voice. Looking up she noticed it was the same man from earlier that day.

She furrowed her brow;

"OH...its you  L was it?" She put the dagger away and crossed her arms over her chest. "Does it look like I need help? What do you want? Come back to defend the honour of the very guy you laughed at so hard you fell out of a damn tree?" She sounded less than impressed to have a visitor, especially one she had hoped to avoid. In her eyes the whole guild was a great big mess. At least it was the man she disliked least out of the three she had met that day. L was more or less silent through the whole ordeal.

Mari bent down to see if she had scored any loot;
 

• Rolled a 7 on the d20 (loot) dice.

She sighed, there was none. "What a waste..." She mumbled.

((I Did PM you saying I'd fight the plant then stop and wait for you :P  ))

FRENZY PLANT

The plant lolled around on the ground, in its weakened state it was barely able to snap at Mari's legs any more. It's tongue darted out, attempting to curl round Mari's ankle, failing that it tried to snap at her again
 

• Rolled a 1 on the d10 (mob) dice. Fail!

It missed, and gargled, an odd hissing sound escaping from its mouth.

Mari gave a small howl of pain as she felt the plants grimy teeth sink into her flesh, gnawing on her arm before releasing its grip. The girl fell down; clutching her arm, swearing under her breath as she rubbed it. Naturally, there was no blood or signs of gore, as the game hadn't allowed for such graphics, but the pain wasn't any less real. "Dammit..." She murmured, pushing herself back off her feet. The pain was different to the mild discomfort she felt when fighting boars. Pain, it was something she'd have to get used to again. The woman shook her head giving a bitter laugh. "Ah..so painful..and its only a tiny, wretched weed..."

Mari charged again, this time moving the dagger in a close uppercut across the Frenzy Plants torso.
 

• Rolled a 10 on the d10 (mob) dice. Critical Success!

It was a direct hit! The word critical bounced above the creatures head as it lost 3 hit points, it snarled, whipping itself wildly around in a futile effort to pull itself from the ground, Mari laughed, feeling quite pleased with herself. "Hah!"

Mari:  10 /13 HP
Frenzy Plant: 1/5 HP

FRENZY PLANT

It gave a low, gargling noise as it was attacked. Screeching as it shrivelled down into the ground, large mouth chattering away - teeth clacking against themselves. The Frenzy plant had coiled itself up like a spring before striking, dealing a critical blow as it gnawed on Mari's arm.
 

• Rolled a 10 on the d10 (mob) dice.

Mari:  10 /13 HP
Frenzy Plant: 4/5 HP


After dealing the strike it chattered again almost as though it was laughing at the poor pink girl.

Mari, after her run in with Kazuya earlier that day was still feeling frustrated, she had tried to calm down in an Inn but grew restless. She ended up wandering back out to where she was earlier, the same Frenzy Plant still flailing about in the soft breeze. The girl hadn't had much fighting experience, and perhaps now would be a good chance to get some in, the plant was a stationary target - Mari assumed she'd have more of a chance hitting it. Equipping her dagger she gave a grimace.

"You better not make me all dirty..." she mumbled under her breath as she went to strike it, tiny dagger high above her head, she bought it downwards in a wide arc.
 

• Rolled a 8 on the d10 (battle) dice. SUCCESS!
  Frenzy Plant -1HP 
  
  Mari grinned, seeing that she had managed to do some damage. Even if it was a measly 1. It was good for the stress, the imagined the wirey, drooling plant was Kazuya and his pompous head. "Heh..." 

Aweh Thank you Yujii~
Thanks Cindel - I got an uncommon on one of my rolls so I'll go send that off to a GM via PM for approval~

 

Aweh Thank you! The Mari tried quickly looked at your journal, yay pink <3 <3


Sure I am involved in a few RPs right now but more is always fun, huhuuh so many RPS~ Yaay~

 

I am fairly new so forgive me if any of this has been answered elsewhere, I did a quick topic search and didn't find much and the post search didn't exactly yeild any results either.


my question is in regards to the loot dice, after battling a monster; its stated in the 'Obtaining Loot' thread that

 

 

tem Drop and Col Table

LD: 1-10
No loot!  :evil:

LD: 11-18
Any type of good item.
OR Mob health X 5 Col

LD: 19-21
Uncommon item of your choosing. (Must be submitted for approval)
OR Mob Health X 5 Col + 1 Bonus mat.

LD: 22+
Rare item of your choosing. (Must be submitted for approval)
OR Mob Health X 10 Col +1 Bonus mat.

LD: 25+:
Specialty Items. 
When a player scores 25+ on a LD roll from killing a monster they have a chance to obtain one of the specialty items listed below. To determine which item they receive they now use the Craft Die (CD) roll from the same post where they scored the 25+ LD roll. Compare the CD result with the result list below to determine which item you receive. CD modifiers do not effect this roll.

Q1) When it states 'any item of your choosing' I assume I can make up an item and send it to a GM?
Q2) Mats are materials yes? They are used for crafting?
Q3) ' Any type of good item'  what does that mean? I tried looking for an item list but found none, do I just make up a 'good item' like, boar meat/hide or something like that?

Yes yes!

I'm not used to writing such short posts though, ahahaha..
