Hirru

NIGHT's attacks were spot on to take down one of the guardian elementals without much issue, though the hiccup from the first strike seemed to be not her own fault. The incline may have done it, or something else. Now, though, there was only one left. The hunter figured he may be able to get it, but these creatures sometimes had a slight amount of evasion with their make. The dungeons were getting far too predictable at this point. Though, it was around this time that the system would make some kind of change, but they may not see it until it actually happens. With that, the lone ele

"I guess.." He looked around, but there wasn't any place nearby to sit and watch the flowers, that is any place he wanted to move to. They were still in the middle of the garden of flowers, with the tree's canopy covering them all. The red-ish flowers that hung overhead would send a soft pinkish glow down, illuminating the golden flowers underneath. The night was still young, and it would probably still be after what he would have to say. "..I should tell another tale." Slowly, he would walk back to the other side of the tree, where the stone pathing would encircle the tree a

Yet another time where he didn't have to do anything and the one with the fallen and holy weapon would burn through the scores of enemies. These weapons were seriously something to look out for, but the hunter knew just how bad it was to find. There was probably only one way to get a full version of one, and that was to fuse together specially appraised weapons with one or two of each unique enhancements. Already a physically and mentally daunting task, as it probably took hundreds of appraisals. Lots of regular weapons sold off to the nether that was the merchant's network. He wondered i

"Wha.. Huh?" He didn't know how to feel about all of this. He was sort of okay in talking about the memory loss, but only to those that really needed to know about it. Those that took part in the 23rd floor raid had a right to know about it. So why did he still not let Jomei and the others know? Hell, he never told Freyd as much, and they started really going into Hirru's tales. NIGHT didn't need to know about it. didthey Hirru was hesitant to answer, and snapped a quick glimpse back to NIGHT. "No! There isn't.." A flash of blue and he was dealing with another apparition,

"Probably going to come out if we try to investigate the main trees themselves." He walked forward slightly behind NIGHT. He still had reservations over the support deal, especially having someone else take the brunt of the battle while he did a little healing or buffing. He had wished he had <hate> gain skills or abilities, so that he could tank a bit, but that would cause more problems. Especially since he was the healer now. He couldn't heal himself without using an AOE heal or a potion. Sighing heavily, the hunter checked once more to find that the two trees seemed to be hi

Hirru could only stand there as the flower that glowed as brightly red-ish as his visions showed him. He couldn't understand too well why he kept seeing these people. Why were they there for him at some points, but not when he would need them the most. Though, did he really need these things constantly talking to him? He didn't even know who these people were! He only knew that they would come to him at times of terrible stress. Was it his mind making things up? It could be a possibility, but that wouldn't explain the times when he saw NIGHT as the blue haired girl. He wasn't stressed

Hirru kept them moving steadily, with slight variations to the left or right, depending on specific spawn zones within the region. Although the ant hills of the 11th floor were a bit farther out, that didn't mean that their tunnels didn't extend throughout the entirety of the floor. Little holes or caves could suddenly turn into their spawns for a month, if not dealt with before hand. If it wasn't for Shield explaining how the game's system probably worked, then the hunter wouldn't understand how the system kept tabs on our leveling and farming locations. It would spawn things in for a cer

Hirru looked to the both of them and could only smile under that rough beard. This would be a second for him, as he had not spent this holiday with too many people before. The gift of giving, it seemed, was something that was worth the price of what it took to get these weapons. Both were relics of his hunting past now, to which he would no longer be a part of. That is, without help. He would smile and nod to the both of them as they gave thanks for their presents. Hirru looked back to the other girl and only shook their hand. "It is okay if you do not wish to answer now, but at any

Everything seemed to be quite different to when the event first started. First of all, there were screams and a commotion that seemed to be coming from all around. Voices that were unfamiliar to the hunter, as they were not ones of his familiar friends and acquaintances. Nor were they of anyone else in the party that he knew of. More importantly, why was his vision so blurry? Rubbing the back of his head, Hirru found that he was lying on the ground, for some reason. The sounds around him seemed to alert the hunter to something going on, as this was not where he last remember himself

It wasn't long before something new and rather unexpected would stop their descent. A large flat plateau that seemed to be covered in tiles of black and white. Covering a majority of the tiles on both ends of the plateau were statues, each representatives to a specific color palette: white and black. They were specifically entering around the side of the white colored statues. The other side seemed to be blocked slightly by the two largest statues of the other side; one looking like a lithe regal woman, and the other a jovially fat noble man. Behind them was the exit, but something didn't

"Thanks.." As the green haired hunter had settled down, a feeling of anxiety about the feelings of the people towards him would fall away. Only to be replaced by the pressures of story telling, it would seem. Jomei had thrust the prompted question towards him about how he had known about Baldur. There were many interesting stories to tell, but Hirru guessed that he would start at the first encounter. "That was some time ago. Before I joined the front lines, about around the 16th or 17th floor had been unlocked. I used to have an old side business where I would post my 'Hunter fo

Hirru watched one by one as each of his party members would make their way through the fiery trap. Nari seemed to pass through without much trouble at all. So too did Cro, as he seemed to skate on through. The only one that would not make it would be their resident stealth user, NIGHT, as they seemingly walked right into it. Was it that they didn't care for the amount of damage that it would probably be putting out? They just saw two mobs be completely destroyed by the jets of flame, but NIGHT was able to see that it was much less? Hirru was right to have her as a forward scout, but she

It would seem that the hunter would get his answers sooner rather than later, as the young masked woman would be grinning from ear to ear as they seemed to partake in the Hor Dourves. Every so often the maiden would make heavy glances towards someone within the crowd. Without search, Hirru would have a hard time looking into who the woman was looking towards. Though, as the glances would get longer, the hunter could distinguish a specific group of players. There were quite a few different people in there, but what really got the hunter.. was that over 90% of that group were people that Hi

*Disclaimer: Crozeph's AOE shift hits harder than stats shown. Damage fully killed the sentinels* With quick actions and precision that would give tells that everyone has had experience beyond their time, one of the Labyrinth's Sentinels had fallen. Having been cleaved through by the thinly bladed one, the second sentinel was thrown for a loop and drive to it's maker. Crystalline fractals would be it's only remaining form of the once metallic rock formation. The other one would not take this loss without causing some sort of discourse. It would come down swinging towards NIGHT, befor

There wasn't much in terms of action on the main deck itself. A few players were up here, but not much in terms of anything interesting or suspicious. He didn't want to be forcing any altercations with anything or anyone, so he kept the search skill off, just in case. Although, he was ready to switch out his entire attire into battle condition. His hands tensed up at the thought while looking up at the balloon-ish thing that was keeping this ship in the air. Their entire night was in the hands of something like that, huh? Hirru wasn't really feeling the ascetic and setting, even though t

A sound of muffled foot steps could be heard from above. This was the norm for the once decent hunter, as he lived his days underneath the main dojo of his friend and mentor, Baldur. There could be a number of his students up there right now training. Heck, even Morg, Cro and Calrex would sometimes be found up there training. Though, this time it seemed like a single set of feet were walking towards the entrance to the basement. He didn't really mind the students coming in, as he had set a couple cabinets between him and the entrance. It wasn't until he felt a chill come down his spine t

Hirru was glad to see that Nari had come as soon as she could. It was gonna be an ordeal, and he figured that it would be a good time to bond with those that he had not talked to before. This would be a fine way to break through his initial barrier, especially since Nari didn't know what happened before. This was his fresh slate. He would take the moment to try to make better bonds. He would smile as she asked about the work ahead, but then she seemed to revert to a simple greeting. "It's good to see you too, Nari. Meet anyone that you knew yet?" Hirru would then point slig

"Huh?" Hirru wasn't sure what a 'Dickens' was, but left that to something that was from the outside world, and that he was talking about his current attire. The hunter looked down at his robes and thought they looked pretty up to par with everything for the season. He had seen enough people wearing the red versions to understand as much. "Oh this? I got it for a bargain from a tailor, at least after some business talk." He would grin before following Jomei up the stairs, where two faces awaited him. One was a recently familiar face, the scythe wielder, Nari-Lanreth. It woul

Following his talk with Baldur, he figured that it would be good to follow his advice. The hunter walked his way down the hall, down a few steps, and followed a bridge over to the bathhouse where the onsen was staged. The place had a separate space for men and women, a formality for privacy. Hirru entered the men's area to find a room with a few low benches and small cupboards, with baskets to store ones clothes. This was rather redundant, as one could easily unequip their equipment and put them safely in their inventory. It was probably more for the ascetic than anything else. He c

Note: Mob HP changed due to ... A LOT (3 extra dmg calc? / AOE specialist not added / Mit not calc / Phase should be active on second mob hit) missing from Cro's attack. Corrected in current stat. It seemed that the first wave of attacks was coming along swimmingly. Nari seemed to be perceptive of the hunter's words, as she started out with a Shatter Art. Weirdly enough, the move seemed much more powerful than a normal one. Was she a Tech user? This is definitely a great find, as he didn't know too many Tech users and would benefit from looking into her fighting style with it. NIGHT

Breaking Bark 2 Yet another day upon the 11th floor. Another time to remember all of the ant hills that propagate the floor, and for the memories of Taft. The guild hall of the Knights of the Blood Oath still hangs there, as symbol of a time stood still. He could never go back. Not again. Not since the events of the 23rd floor, would he ever say that the crimson red was home. His home was now in the water covered island of Jacob's Ladder, and Baldur's Dojo. He truly wished that he didn't have to be here, but the need would weigh more. There was a single consumable that

"Hmm?" The rune scribe had recently purchased a plethora of small time Tier 1 items, and was well on his way into start appraising them, when someone new came to the little wagon. He forgot where he was for a second before looking over the item. "A weapon, huh? Let me see what it has." Taking a gander at it, the slots would alight. Three in total, before the images would burn themselves in. It was something that all items have, but not much else. Simple runic creations, nothing more. "No charge for your first appraisal, but you'll have to pay for rerolls." He woul

There was something that the merchant had taught the hunter during their long long stay together. That was the 'eye for a sale', that is. A keen sight to look into anything and everything that could be used for the greater good, or at least the good of the community. Those that wished to sell their items, especially ones at a much cheaper price than others. That's when this little place came upon the hunter's radar. Word from afar said that they were an alchemist that had accrued a simple living, but also seemed to sell some extra bits for a steal. Entering the shop, it seemed that t

*achoo!*achoo!* A few sneezes would blow up from the hunter as he lay in the little bed that was afforded to him. Was he catching something, or was it that cold outside? He then had to remember that he was in a world that wouldn't all that. Getting up from the mass of sheets, Hirru saw that he had a message. Another party, it would seem. Maybe, Nari was able to get in touch with her people? They did say that they were going to make another gathering for people. It was rather lonely. The storage basement for the dojo was a decently spaced one, and there was a minor wall hiding
