Zandra

So, third day of crafting. Today it felt like it would go well. So she placed the tripod on the bench, poured some water into the the pot and placed it on the tripod. She lighted a candle and placed it under the pot. Two of the red flowers was laying on the bench and a pair of bottles. During the time the water was heated she started crushing both flowers in the mortar. Today she was gonna boil both of them at the same time. When the powder was done and the water was boiling she poured the powder in the pot. Last time she waited half an hour and it was useless. This time she waited 35 minutes instead. She poured it in one of the bottles. She putted her thumb on the opening and shaked it. When it has cooled down she tasted it, it tasted like strawberryjuice this time too. To be sure she didnt waited to short time, this time she waited for almost an hour extra. This time the potion was very dark red. She shoke it and waited five minutes for it to cool off. When she tasted it a note appeared that it failed to heal her 5HP. ''Yes, this one is is working!'' She placed the bottle on the front of the cart where the items she have for sale was standing. Now it wasnt empty anymore.

Suddenly the nepent topped its rage. Zandra just stood there and watchedvthe nepent. Every bodypart was hurting, she had hard to breathe. She stared at the nepent and realized this was her last chance. Her health bar was on red, but not much red. Almost empty. Should she try to take it down or run? Well, she knew she was gonna die in the real world if she died here. But she couldnt run from this fight, it have taken so long. When she had decide she took a hard grip on the dagger-hilt. ''Now you die you bastard.'' She sprinted towards the nepent and before it could react she cut of its right arm ''You will die!!'' she throwed herself to the other side and cut of the other arm ''DIE!!!'' she slashed the dagger from right to left, left to tight, up and down until it looked liked a red spiderweb. She jumped up on top of it ''DIE DIE DIE!!!'' and stabbed the dagger down deep in the flesh, all the way to the hilt ''DIIIEEEEEE!!!!''. And it exploded into a thousand blue-withe pixels.

The nepent still rampaged. Zandra saw her health bar drop criticaly low. She saw another opening and tried to make another cut, consentrated on precision more then strength this time.Thou she missed angain. She could feel the pain in every body part and it didnt stopped when the nepent made more punches on her. She started to feel pain on places she didnt even knew she had.

The nepent continued its rampage. Zandra got hit everywhere, head, arms, stomach and anywhere else that the nepent could reach. Zandra took hit after hit, sshe didnt even had a chance to hit back, After several hits she finaly found an opening. Quickly she took a harder grip on the dagger and made a, even if it was weak, it hitted the target. For a second the nepent stopped, then it entered its rampage again. And Zandra got another rain of punches on her.

"Oh come on. Whats wrong with me? If I miss now I leave and will come back with a better dagger." she now tried her double slash. And finally, a hit. The nepent screamed when losing a fourth of its health from that dagger. Yes, it got hit but still kept calm. Zandra was hit once again.

''Is that the best you can do you little s**t. I almost didnt even felt it. Haha!'' Now Zandra was gonna stab the nepent in the heart. But she misjudge the crature. In the last second it moved to the side and the only thing that got stabbed was the air. Now Zandra was taken by surprise when the nepent hitted her hard on the head.

She had just rested for like five minutes when she herd something behind her. She jumped up and turned around. The thing that made the noice was a little nepent. Due to its name its not little. With its one and a half meter it was almost as tall as Zandra. "So the flowers big sister is here now. Dont think I gonna be an easy prey. I have actually searched after your kind.

This time she wouldnt begin with her double slice. Instead she got up close doing a slah in the air for distraction. Thou the little nepent was ready and hit her in the chest. Zandra cougth but didnt move.

After slaying the flower Zandra sat down on a stone nearby to take a rest. Phew, that took some time. Hope its gonna go better next time.  She took a bread and water from her inventory. Started to chewing the bread and then swallow it with a gulp of water. She so wanted get a steady economy so she could buy some good tasting food instead of this. But now she dont spend any money so that she can get a new dager and some armor as soon as possible. She didnt wanted first and best dagger she saw, but ordering what enchantments she wanted on it would cost like 800 Col. She havent check out the prize on armor yet, it is probably even more expensive. But after todays little adventure she should be able to afford a dagger, or at least have materials to craft and sell items to be able to afford a dagger or armor.

When Zandra saw Marisa drink the whole bottle in one go. She got realy impresed. ''Well, this is my first time trying sake actually. Have herd shall taste good. I lived in Sweden until like a week before launch. And there I mostly drank beer.and of course I dont know the english word but we call it 'grogg'. But I see that its not your first time drinking sake.'' Zandra said when looking first at the empty bottle and then at her. This girl was realy something else. She took one of the bottles, sniffed at it and then carefully taking a zip. First it tasted realy good so she was gonna try to do as Marisa and drink the whole botle in one go. But after just a few gulps her eyes got wide open, she removed the bottle from her mouth and cought up everything over the tea, buns and the cake-slices. And even some on Marisa ''Oh no, Im so sorry Marisa. Im realy sorry.'' Zandras face was red as a tomato, but not due to the sake, bacause of the emberrasing situation. ''I will wipe it off.'' She deperatly looked around for a napkin or something.

''You shouldnt have done that flower, that hurt.'' Zandra Took her dagger and stabbed it deep into the plant where the heart would have been on a human, then she pulled the dagger out and made a slash from left to right, then another and another until it looked like a red spider-web on the flower. Then the flower disolved into hundreds of blue-white pixels. A screen poped up with her rewards. She leveled up and got one red flower.

Zandra took a step back and threw her dagger up in the air and cathced it on the hilt on the way down. She thougth that now that the flower didnt had any arms it wasnt dangerous anymore. There she had wrong, the flower crawled to her and made several scratches on her legs with the roots.

Whit a quick jump to the other side of the flower Zandra did another slash in the air. This time the red mark apeared where the other leaf was attached to the flowers body. Now the flower actually started to look scared, if a flower can look scared. It desperatly waved at Zandra with her half leaf arm that just smoothly brushed Zandras boots.

When the leaf-fist passed above her head her dagger made a quick slash in the air, a red mark was shown on halfway down the leaf and a second later the top half of the leaf fell of and disapeared in dosens of small bluewhite pixels. ''Ha, it actually worked to humiliate you.'' Zandra said to the flower when it tried to hit her with its half leaf that didnt even touched Zandra.

Zandra saw her health-bar dtop 1 HP. ''Haha, is that all you can do when Im standing here without moving a muscle? Arent you ashamed of yourself? Hahaha!'' The flower must have understand her, maybe not the words but her tone in the voice. It closed her leafs like a fist and was attacking Zandra, but she easily dodged the hit. ''When you angry you lose your control and you need to keep your control if you want to hit your target.''

Zandra was out of ideas, what should she do? All her attacks misses. She started to lose faith in her own  combat-abilities. She looked at the flower. She thougth it was gonna be an easy fight. But this was not easy. She had been wounded by its leafs, ashamed herself by letting a flower push her down int the mud. Her clothing was dirty. Like in slow-motion she saw one of the flowers leafs coming towards her again. She didnt had any fighting-spitrit left. The leaf bitch-slapped her. It wasnt that hard, but still she lost 1 HP.

Wait what? She said it was nice to meet me. Dont screw this up now Zandra. The manager comes back with the food she ordered on a plate. When he place it on the table and showing two cups of tea, a few buttered buns and several slices of cake, Zandras nose is beeing filled with the most wonderful smell she had smelled in SAO this far. She just stared at the food and almost not heard when the manager says that he hope she likes it. While she stared at the food she just couldnt decide what to start with. She decided to taste the tea first. Marisa ordered some sake from Kourin. ".... I suppose it would be nice. Would you like some as well Zandra?" Kourin asked just when Zandra was on way to drink of the tea. ''Yes thank you Kourin, that would be great.'' He left to get some sake. Then Zandra took a zip of the tea. ''Oh my god, this was a good tea.'' she said to herself. Then she aimed for the buns, she took a big shew on one of them. ''This one taste so lovely. This is something else compared what you usually eats right Zandra.'' For the first time after the plate was placed in front of her she could take her eyes from the food and looked at Marisa. ''This tastes realy good, why havent I herd of this cafè before?''

''Here, if you dont mind.'' Axios said as he opened up his menu. A screen poped up in front of Zandra with a friend request from Axios. She accepted and another screen with a party invite poped up, she accepted that one as well. ''We'll be venturing out soon, unless something else happens.'' Axios continued. ''So, where have you been during your first days in Aincrad?'' Zandra asked when first looking at Hunter and then Axios. ''Myself Ive just become an alchemist and opened up a shop at the market. So now it would be nice to head out and do something exciting outside the walls.'' she continued to not make the same mistake again to ask something and not telling something about her. ''Thou I only have this basic dagger and no armor, but soon when Ive gathered some Col Im gonna be better equiped for going outside alone. Thats why I was so glad when I saw others that also was heading out. Higher chance you survive that way.'' She hoped she didnt sounded like a coward, but well, she just said what was true. And start a friendly relationship with lies is not a good way to start.

1st day:

[''Copied in from previous post to make room for evaluations.'']

Excited to start working as an alchemist Zandra had prepared a pot of boiling water and two red flower on the workbench. She crushed the flowers into powder. Poured it down in the pot and waited. She looked at the water when it turned to strawberry red. She wanted it to be a little bit darker. She waited ten minutes, but when she was gonna pour the potion in the bottle, the pot slipped and all potion ran out over the floor. Crap, hope its go better tomorrow. She cleaned everything and putted it back in the inventory

2nd day:

So, second day of her new proffession as an alchemist. She realy hope it will get better today then yesterday. Same as yesterday she took out two red flowers and put them on the workbench. To be sure she didnt ruin both at the same time like at her first day, she decided to make one at a time. She put one of the flowers into the mortar and start crashing it to powder. After a few minutes she thougth it was okay. She poured it all into the pot with boiling water. Waited for half an hour when she thougth the color was good. She placed one of her glass bottle on the workbench and poured some of the potion into it. She putted her thumb on the opening and shaked the bottle and then let it cool. After five minutes she tasted it. It tasted just like ordinary strawberry juice and no healing notice-screens poped up. She thougth she would be able to reuse the flower-powder by pour it back in the bottle. She did it and waited a few minutes. Then she did the same procedure and tasted it again. Nope, now its even worse. Tastes like ordinary water. At least I did better then yester day.

Zandra aimed in the middle of the flower to stab a deep cut. But only a half meter away she have to throw herself to the side. One of the flowers leafs came slashing from the left, she lost a few hair-straws and a smal cut on the cheek, but nothing serious. "Darn it, why cant I hit you. You know that the hits from your leafs actually hurts".

This time the flowers took the initiative. It raised its leafs above Zandra and let them fall down with full strength. Luckily, for Zandra, she rolled to the side just a moment before the leafs hit the ground. Zandra stands up, taking a harf grip on her dagger and prepare for the next attack.

Zandra tried to make another double slice, this time aiming for the flower's other side, but this time the flower was ready. It raised one of its leafs and too late she saw it coming a moment too late. It hit Zandra on the back of her head. She lost her balance and fell into the mud. Damn, those  leafs are realy hard.

Zandra stood at the borders of the forest and glazed inside. This forest looked darker then the ones she was used to. She wasnt realy disapointed when she didnt saw the cave from the borders. "Well, I dont make any use by just standing here." She took some steps forward, it felt like the forest covered up behind her. She took a quick look over her shoulder "Hope Im gonna get out of here". She turned her face forward an started to walk.

After about 500meters she suddenly herd a strange sound to her right. She quickly turned her in that direction and glazed into the forest. There she saw a huge shadow just 200 meters from her. She creeped towards the creature, draw her dagger and sprinted to bury it in its flesh, or whatever plants have.

Which proffesion(s) craft tools for alchemist? Or how can I get it?
