Allania

Even if they had learnt her attack pattern it did not mean much to her. Allania just increased her speed, moving and darting about much faster than a moment ago, catching the Toads off guard as she once again sliced into their thick hides. With her speed she easily dodged the blows from the toads, it was not even a challenge at the speed she was moving,  the strikes not even coming close to landing. The Toads looked worse for wares now, another blow like that would end it.

Satisfied that the Boars would not be able to recover so quickly and attack again yet, Allania looked up to where she had seen Gaster wander off to. he seemed to be mmmmph. The sound escaped her mouth as she was slammed into by the Boars, who had recovered much sooner than she though they would. They had landed a good solid blow, but it worked a lot more in her favour, as the thorns on her bodice and bracers activated, scraping deep grooves into the Boars, dealing more damage than she had done to them yet.

It seemed both parties were getting familiar to one another attacking pattern now. The Toads moving slowly as they may but still avoiding the dagger's blade. Just like them, Allania did not have to move quickly anymore to avoid their attack, moving just a fraction so that their blow would fall short or fall besides her. Whichever it was made little difference, as a miss was a miss after all. Blaze was just sat at the side of the battle, watching with interest as Allania and the Toads dueled one another. She may have been outnumbered but she had an unfair advantage over them.

It seemed he was not quite ready for fighting yet she noted. Seeing out of the corner of her eye as he wandered back up the hill, his rapier no longer in hand. Allania could not hesitate yet though, she was still in the middle of a battle. She could try to run away, but then it would have been all for naught. So she focused once again and once again avoided their tusks, this time bounding after their charging form, keeping them close while she cut out with her dagger, once again cutting into their tough hides.

Standing for a moment, Allania calmed herself. She was out of range of the Toads,  so she had a moments respite, they would have to move before they could land a blow. It seemed that the pause was all that she needed,  stepping forward Allania ran in a zigzagged path, moving erratically so that the Toads could not aim, their tongues striking the sands beside her. When within range her dagger whipped round, and she started to spin in a circle, slicing into each one of the Toads thick hides.

Allania looked back to see Gaster stood there, unsure of himself. "It's okay if you don't want to participate" she called out to him, dodging the charges of the Boars, deftly dodging their daring daggers. Her own dagger slicing quickly through the air as they ran past her, slicing deep into their hide, leaving a deep red pixelated gash. The cut was quick and efficient, no crazy swinging like some players attacked. "it is not that hard, but like I said, if it's not for you then feel more than happy to sit by the side, we can still split the spoils" a smile on her face while amidst the bulky figures of the Boars.

Allania sighed, launching forwards after the blow, but was once again struck, this time being sent flying. Allaia skidded across the sand, sending up a spray around her. Her attack attempt had failed miserably, the only plus side was that the thorns on her armour had taken effect, dealing a lot of damage to each one of them. Allanai slowly got back to her feet, dagger in hand and ready to attack once again. Hoping this time that she'd be able to hit.

"Okay" she said in response, her eyes fixed on the plains. After a short while of searching she found what she was looking for, a small group of Boars, just 4, but it would be enough. "Follow me" she called out, running to the group she had spotted. As she reached the mobs she soon entered their aggro range, causing them to turn on her, pounding at the ground and snorting. Allania took out her dagger, ready for what was to come. As they charged Allania side stepped their spear-like tusks, aiming to strike at them as they went past, but ended up missing also.

Allania smirked at their attack, it had been pitiful. However their attack had done one thing, it had made her overconfident. Allania leapt forward, disregarding whatever dangers they may pose and attacked, this time they were ready though, hopping backwards to avoid her tiny dagger before they went on their own offensive. Their offensive this time was concise, accurate, their tongues flying from their mouths as they slammed into Allania slight frame, knocking her to the side with a grunt. Her armour protected like it had done all the times before.

Pivoting on the spot, Allania launched herself at the Toads, her dagger hitting this time. She only managed to hit as the Toads had not the time to react, not expecting the girl to change directions that quickly. Her dagger sunk into their flesh, but it was not a deep wound, the thick hide of the toads offering much protection. With the surprise of being struck the Toads made a lousy attempt to hit Allania, their tongues lashing out aimlessly, strike the sand around her, some more than a meter away.

From where Allania stood she could see a group of Toads, they were huge but they would be no match for her. With her dagger in hand Allania set off at the creatures. When within range of them the Toads turned and launched an attack, their tongues lashing out, but they struck nothing but air, Allania having dashed from side to side to avoid the tongue blows. It was then Allania's turn, her dagger arcing out infront of her, however, just like the Toad's tongues she hit nothing but the air, missing her blow pitifully.

"You will be fine, that armour of yours will protect you from all but the smallest amount of damage. 1 point of damage will always get through, but that's just how it works. If you want to avoid blows I could lend you my cloak? It will make it so the creatures will almost never hit you, and when they do it will be just the 1 point of HP you lose" Allania offered, walking down the path. Before long in their walked she deterred from the path, wandering up the side of a hill to see what could be seen. At the crest of the hill there was a solitary tree, casting its shade on the area around it. Standing under the trees, away from the sun in its cool cover Allania began to search the horizon for a group of enemies that they could take on, ones that would be guaranteed to drop them some materials.

Seems like we have another adventurer with us also.

Allania was sat on a bench, near the teleporter in the main settlement of Armadillo on the fifth floor, waiting. She had put an ad in a tavern down on the first floor, one oft time frequented by players. It was now time to see who turned up to go for a romp in the desert, to search for a sub-dungeon. She did not know how many had responded or what level they were, but as she had written in the ad, all were welcome.

Allania sat there, looking up at the sky. It was as bright a day as ever, the Sun hung in the air, shedding its brilliant light on all that sat beneath it. The Sun had not yet reached its peak, though was most of the way there, slowly trudging through the empty blue sky. There was a gentle breeze in the Town, so out in the desert it would be a little more prolific, but nothing that should cause injury. By her side, sat on the floor was her little familiar, Blaze the Boar, she had decided that it was best if he accompanied her, afterall he could heal her if she were to take a lot of damage, better than any of the potions she had with her.

Allania tied once again, aiming for the statue she had attacked but moments ago and once missed, the Anubis deflecting her dagger of its weapon. This time, with her failed attempt finishing she was not able to react fast enough. As a result Allania got thrown across the room, her body like a ragdoll as it was sent flying by the train-like blow of the Anubis. It was not made of stone for nothing. Allania got to her feet and brushed the dust off of her body, raising her dagger and preparing to go once again.

Allania listened quietly to what Gaster had to hear, nodding slightly as he spoke to acknowledge what he was saying. Once Gaster finished speaking Allania spoke herself "I'm ready to go, so we can head on out" she said, slowly starting to walk through the gate. "As for being unsure about this, that is completely understandable, how about this?" she asked, "we go and find a group of Boar's, ones that would give us some mats. We'll go for 4 of them, nice simple and safe. That armour of yours should protect you, and deal some damage if you are hit. If you're feeling uncomfortable or don't want to fight anymore then just sit to the side and let me deal with it. So pretty much just testing the waters to see how it goes".

Okay, 4 people sounds good. I shall set up the thread shortly and link it here.

Allania walked out of her shop, Blaze by her side, twisting her right hand around her wrist, feeling the new bracer under her grip. It was something she had taken from her stock just for today. Extra thorns was always useful when out hunting monsters. Especially when they have high mitigation. She quickly hurried towards the gate where they had planned to meet. Arriving shortly Allania spotted Gaster sitting on a bench by the gate. "HEY!!" she called out, her voice loud to carry over the throng of people, her hand in the air waving towards Gaster. It was nice to see him once again, and in good health. Today was their first hunting trip.

Allania followed Grave out of the cave, back into the storm. It was gentler now, but it still scoured at what skin she had exposed. She pursued Grave through the sandstorm, managing to stay unharmed from its wrath. They were walking for a while before he stopped for a moment to say that it was here. He leaned down and opened the lid, revealing the empty crate. Seeing that their goal was empty, Allania dropped herself to the floor with a sigh, Bandits must have got to it first, she thought. "What do you mean?" she asked as he spoke and pointed off at the pair of people approaching them. They were certainly not here to be friends.

Allania sighed once again, getting to her feet. She recognised the bandit in the lead, it was the quest giver. Allania took out her dagger and approached the woman, paying no heed to the bandit beside her.

"Lovely weather, isn't it?" she asked Allania, an evil smile on her face and weapon in her hand. Before Allania could respond the woman struck ou, her dripping blade arcing through the air towards Allania's head. In response to this obvious onslaught Allania ducked beneath the blade, which now flew harmlessly over her head. Bobbing back up Allania leaned forward, her arms trailing behind her as she covered the distance to get in range with her own blade. Allania brought her blade up, slicing vertically upwards into the bandit before performing a horizontal cut in the same motion. The blow caused the woman to stagger backwards, a gaping gash forming a cross on her body, glowing red.

Allania heard it then, a sraping sound, like stone grinding against stone. She perked up her head, looking around to see what was going on. What she saw was the 4 Anubis statues moving. "Not again" she sighed, taking out her dagger, ready to attack. She launched herself at the closest one, disregarding the others. Her blade swung out in a large arc, trying to cut at the statue, but it moved a step backwards, just out of her reach. With her failed attempt to attack over the statues took it upon themselves to attack. They did not land a blow though, as a result of Allania's dodging and deflecting,keeping their weapons at a safe distance.

Allania watched as Grave leaped through the air and clung on tightly to its leg. It did not do much though, as the behemoth continued to push itself to its feet, slowly gaining once again in height. He was hanging on for dear life onto that leg, before he turned his head, shouting at her to finish it. Her dagger in hand Allania once again rushed the icicle. Her dagger whistled as it cut through the air, once again slashing into the creature. She could only strike at the base of its foot now, not being able to reach higher. It was enough though, as once she finished her two roundhouse kicks the creature exploded into millions of floating red fragments. Allania stood there as it broke away, her breath as mist before her, watching as Grave's hold on the creature disappeared.

Allania opened her eyes a crack, light was streaming now into the cave where she lay. For a moment she forgot where she was, but the memories came back to her quickly. She was out in the desert, searching for a sub-dungeon. Groggily shaking herself fully awake Allania felt the warmth of Blaze squirm against her torso. It was a comforting warmth, something that was nice to wake up to. Allania pushed herself to her feet, sleep still in her eyes. On her feet Allania stumbled towards the edge of cave, poking her head out into the open air. It was certainly day time outside, the Sun was high in the sky, well on its way to its peak. She had slept for a long time in that cave, slumbering for many an hour.

It was time to go out searching once again. She then stepped outside the cave, stopping for a moment to bask in the sunlight. It was a bright day and blisteringly hot. It was no hotter though than any other day. "Time to get to work" she said, stretching wide.

Allania spotted another material lying on the ground, a scrap of fur. Picking it up Allania quickly put it in her inventory. She then stopped and looked at Gaster "That's a nice way to think I guess" Allania shrugged, "it's nice at least that you can say that it's not too bad, to see that you're continuing". "Well then," Allania said, brushing off the dirt from her body, "shall we call it there then for just digging about in the dirt for materials then?" she asked. "Come by to my shop later, I'll get you some gear" she said, her eyes moving over the armourless player, "then we'll go out into the fields once again for a spot of hunting. We'll orgnise when we meet in my shop. See ya" with the final statement Allania began to head on off back to Town, humming to herself as she went.

Allania was searching the plants once again, searching for any plants that could be of use. Allania was running her hand over another plant, one that looked little different from any of the others, except when she did it felt different. Upon closer inspection of the plant bore a material, one she could harvest. Plucking at the fibres of the plant Allania quickly gathered what it had to offer, storing it in her inventory. "Being nervous all the time does not sound like fun, not fun at all. You might be able to get an item that can help with that you know"
