Allania

Allania paused in this room and began to rummage about, searching for materials. Allania went from pot to pot, from vase to vase looking inside each one. It was not a long search before she found something. It was not large, just a few scraps of clothe within one of the vase. It was small but the system counted it as a material. Pocketing the material Allania continued to search, oblivious to the scraping of stone around her as the statues began to move.

Allania stood there in silence, waiting for a response, but none came. After waiting for a while Allania headed down the tunnel, there was only one way to go afterall. It was surprisingly not dark in her tunnel, sconces lined the wall, torches lighting up in front of her as she walked. It was very weird and somewhat creepy, but not dark. What probably worried Allania the most was the silence, she could not hear a sound, not her footsteps, nor Balze's hooves, or the shifting sand above her head. It was disconcerting. As she continued to wander in the eerie silence the tunnel opened up in front of her into a reasonably sized room. The walls were lined with pottery, vases and bowls. And in each corner stood a statue of Anubis. This was definitely an Egyptian tomb.

I'm looking for people to go and find sub-dungeons with. We'll be on the fifth floor, so be prepared for that level of monster. 

Anyone is welcome, I'd just rather not have anyone die on this romp in the desert.

So yeah, just post here or PM me if you're interested.

Allania was out from behind the counter, tending to her stock when a player came in through the door. Looking up Allania saw it to be Gaster, a new player to this world. She had met him a couple of times, "Hey there" she called out to him, a smile on her face, "and thank you". Allania put down the item she was holding and began to look around "Armour you say?" she said, rummaging through a pile of items. "Aha" she exclaimed, standing up with an item in her hand, "this is a good set of armour, it will give you protection and harm those that attack you. It's not the most stylish of thing, but the generic gear I make never is". Allania then held it out to Gaster, "here, take it. You're just starting in this world and I know full well how much of a difference good items can make. I hope it serves you well".

Allania sighed, the first thing Hydra did as leader was cause the tunnel to collapse. It seemed that neither of them were quite fit to lead this little party of theirs. As the sand began to collapse the tunnel Allania picked up Blaze and sprinted after Hydra's fleeing figure. However with the lead Hydra had on her the sand began to fall in front of her, obscuring her view of where he went. So when she finally made it to somewhere that was not collapsing she could not find him. Not high nor low could he be seen. She was in a tunnel, one that was rather bland, none of the fancy hieroglyphs etched into the stone, just bare stoneworks. Separated once again. Allania called out into the nothingness "HYDRA ARE YOU THERE?!" she shouted.

Allania was once again searching, idly sifting through the plants within the area. Her attention was elsewhere, trying to focus on what Gaster was saying.  "I hope so too, having a familiar is really nice. As even when you have no one your familiar will still be there, supporting you. Rooting for you. And nervous? Well, I have been nervous before. quite a few times to be honest, but that's just human. However I have never been so nervous that I was unable to speak or act. Sadly I cannot relate to something like that" Allania admitted, smiling at Gaster as she spoke.

(OOC: Sorry for taking so long to reply)

Allania was stumbling towards the fire, pain coursing through the body from the blow that she had received. It had been a devastating hit and would have almost killed her if it were not for her armour. Even though it had been a destructive blow for her, if it had hit the player she had shunted out of the way they would have surely died. So regardless of her pain Allania had a small bubble of happiness in her heart, knowing that that player was able to live on, even if just for a short while longer. 

Nearing the fire Allania plopped herself to the ground, letting out a groan as pain once again arced through her body when it hit the hard unrelenting ice beneath her. From where she sat she had a good spot to observe those that had survived. It was not nearly as many as the hunting party had started with but she was just glad this many had survived. Allania was not paying attention to the faces, just the numbers, the faces could come later as she was sure that Hydra would have been able to protect himself. Allania then stuck out a weak arm, gesturing for Blaze, her small familiar, to come on over. In response to which the little Boar came over in a bubbling manner, bouncing about in joy that he had been called to. When he was within arms reach Allania picked him up, holding him in both arms above her, looking him over before cuddling him tight to her chest, assured that he was okay. While cuddling him Allania felt his wet little nose nuzzle against her neck, acting like a pain killer. The pain just washing away from her body, the relief flowing out from the spot he had touched, looking at her health gauge it had moved out of the orange and back into the green. For now she was safe. 

With her head cleared from the pain it was time for faces. To see who had survived, to see if anyone she knew was there. Allania had not known who was in the hunting party at the beginning, so she did not know for the faces to look for. For the faces that should have been. What she did see however were a few faces she recognised, making a mental list, Okay so there's: Rowan, Hydra, Ratatosk and Nikodemus. Apart from that she could not recognise any of the others, to her for the time being they became faceless figures, her attention solely on those that she knew.

First was Hydra, he seemed to be relatively okay, his ankle was injured, twisted and malformed but that was a small injury. The others seemed just as battered, though their injuries were superficial, just a few red pixelated  gashes covering their body. The exception to this otherwise flawless observation was Ratatosk. He seemed to be mostly unharmed, only a few injuries here and there which she could only presume were from the weather effects.

There was so much going on in the cave, different people were trying to organise things, she did not know who to respond to first. The answer however when Rowan's voice cut over the others, shouting to be left alone. Allania jerked her head around just in time to see him push another player backwards, her falling to the ground in front of him. The girl seemed to have a shocked face on, like she was trying to help but had been rejected. Physically ejected from her attempts. Sighing, Allania got to her feet and slowly approached him, sitting down in front of him a short distance away. Far enough away to not be imposing but close enough to make it clear she was there to talk to him. "Hey there Rowan" she said softly, her voice quiet but clear, so that it would pierce through the throng of voices and reach his ears. She then sat there, crosslegged, waiting to see how he would respond. If he would respond.

"I'm sure" Allania said with warmth on her face and in her eyes, her cheeks still scarlet. Allania then leaned back in response to the next statement, her arms spreading out and leaning again the back of the bench and just looked at the girl sat upon her lap. "One moment" she said, after admiring the girl who was on her lap. She knew how embarrassed they both were yet they continued anyway. Allania then leaned forward, her arms still on the bench backing, just her body and head moving forward. Her face was a short distance from Rae's, she could see every detail on her face, every fleck of colour in her eyes, each freckle adorning her face, their lips just an inch away. Allania held her position for a moment, gazing into Rae's eyes, before blowing, sending a quick gust of air up Rae's face, sending the hair that had got on Rae's face waving in the wind before it settled back into its proper place. Allania then resumed her relaxed position, leaning back once again and said "You had a little piece of hair on your face" she said, a smile on her face, "and as for staying there feel free, I have a feeling you're the one who's feeling more uncomfortable at the moment, so it's up to you" a bright smile on her face.

Once Allania had finished her spiel she got back to search, her hands at all the plants in the vicinity. Each one she looked at, inspecting their stems, their leaves, checking to see if any had potential. Sadly regardless of her scrupulous searching Allania was unable to locate a single plant that could be of use. Allania then stopped her search once again to answer Gaster's query. "Well, we have not been together all that long, much less than a month in fact. However it does feel like a long time since I met him and saved him from whatever it was he was running from" Allania admitted.

Allania let out a sigh of relief as she felt the Boar's cold nuzzling against her leg. Numbness to her pain spread out from that area, its tendrils relieving her of her injury. She was in no way fully healed, but now she would not be killed by a single blow. Now with sufficient health, Allania got to her feet and slowly headed back to Amazon. She had had enough of this jungle for one day. She had found that the place was safe to adventure, before that mysterious NPC came for her, attacking her with all its might. Nearly killing her. She had pulled through though, just about. Now it was time for safety, the comfort of a safe zone.

Allania got up, wincing from the pain. She then began to look around, looking for any materials that the enemy had dropped before they vanished to nothingness. While she searched she waved off the worry of Blaze, telling him to wait just a little longer while she searched. After all she was safe for now, nothing was going to just pop up out of nowhere. At least she hoped nothing would. Allania searched but could find nothing. With no materials in sight Allania gave up, slumping back to the ground, breathing hard. "It seems like I may have use for that healing of yours" she said, looking at Blaze, a weak smile upon her face.

Allania collapsed to the ground, opening her menu and putting on her normal dress, putting her cape into her inventory. The dress was comforting, something that she had had for a longer time. Longer even than her Bodice. It helped her feel safer, even if the cape offered much greater protection. Allania just lay there, wincing and panting, her health pitifully low from that blow. It had been a single hit but it had nearly killed her, ripping straight through her armour. Any more damaging and it would have killed her in that instant. That would have been her final breath. She was not satisfied with that, she would not let that be the end of her. Well, it hadn't but the incident spurred her on to fight longer, to train harder, so that she didn't just die. Alone. In the middle of a jungle, blinking out of the world without a second thought. How many would notice my absence?, she thought, very few probably. I can't leave it like that, I need to help as many as possible in this world.

Allania looked at the figure on the ground and waited for her to get up. She did not want to attack someone who has so defencelessly sprawled upon the ground. Allania let out a sigh, why do I always do this? This is a fight to the death yet I'm stood here waiting for them to get up. When the Gemini got to their feet and prepared themselves again Allania raised her dagger. I shall finish this now. They both ran forward, but the Gemini went faster, her blade slicing before Allania's, cutting deep and carving an infinity sign into her chest, the damage ripping through her armour. Allania watched as her health bar dropped to but a slither, a fraction of her former safety. Looking back at the Gemini, a smug grin on its face Allania went on the offensive. Her dagger smashing through that of the Gemini, knocking theirs to a side as she too carved an infinity sign upon their body. Allania was less devastating but it did the trick, once the final cut had been performed the Gemini stood there for a moment before exploding into pixelated fragments. The once Allania Doppelganger defeated.

Allania stood there, breath catching in her chest. It had been a short fight thus far but far more intense than any she had been a part of. They were so equally matched that their blades clashed effortlessly against one another. They were getting nowhere, after her only blow neither had managed to land a blow upon the other. Not a single nick. So Allania stood there, trying to recuperate herself for a moment before going at her opponent. However before Allania could do anything the Gemini charged at her, tripping over their own feet and skidding along the floor towards her. Allania could not help but crack a smile at the figure on the ground, So that's what I look like when I trip over.

Once again they were locked in that deadly dance. Neither giving an inch, they were fighting on par, even though the Gemini had been struck so. After one clash of the blades, their daggers became locked in the centre, the two struggling against one another, fighting with their strength to throw the other off the centre. it was to no avail though, each had the exact same strength. Pushing against the blade, Allania leapt back, placing some distance between her and the Doppelganger. Not a blow had been landed against her. Yet.

The Gemini was quick to recover, launching forward from its kneeling position, their dagger singing as it cut through the air. It was on the offensive now, all Allania could do was defend, deflecting blow after blow on the edge of her dagger, hoping that an opening would come soon. Whenever a chance seemed to appear Allania moved for it, only for it to be a feint, the Gemini bringing their dagger round to strike at her. Each time though Allania avoided the blade, her cloak seeming to help hide her position even though they were locked in combat.

Their blades continued to clash against one another, neither getting an upper hand. However as the deadly dance continued Allania's blade managed to slip past the Gemini's, her dagger flashing in an arc, slicing deep into the Gemini, causing it to stand for just a moment in shock before being knocked to the side by Allania's leg that came battering round twice, slamming into the Gemini's side. The Gemini absorbed the blow, skidding across the dirt and moss, on its knees after the blow.

As the counter ticked down Allania's eyes were rushing over the figure in front of her. It was an exact match, the bodice, the cape and even er dagger. Not a single fault in the copy. This was going to be a close match. When the counter struck zero a klaxon sounded, signalling the start of the fight. Without hesitation they both rushed forward, completely synchronised. In the centre their blades metal, sparks flying as they slashed against one another. Their blades a blur as they traded blows, neither landing a blow on the other.

"I was just out here, looking for someone to duel" the figure said. It was weird, Allania had never met an NPC that would offer a duel, at least outside of any safezone. "Don't worry" it said, a smile on their face, "just a friendly duel". Allania stood there, unsure how to respond to this figure, after a short while of consideration Allania agreed cautiously "okayyy" the last syllable being stretched out and fading away.

As soon as she had said that the NPC sent her a duel offer. Hesitating, Allania pressed accept. Once the button had been pressed a smile crossed the strangers face. A vile smile. Shifting into an exact copy of her, gear and all. It threw Allania off completely, the figure even assumed the same position, dagger raised, point out from her face, ready to strike forward. Above their head now shone the name Gemini. This fight was not going to go well.

Allania wandered through the jungle, wondering what to do now. She knew that she could fight mobs here and survive and that she could comfortably scavenge for materials. That was all she had come here to do today. With her checklist complete to a sufficient degree Allania turned back on her path and started to head on back to Amazon. As Allania was walking a figure appeared to be going in the opposite way. They met in the clearing she had fought the spiders. When the stranger was near they called out to Allania "Hey there", waving a hand above their head. Allania came to a stop in front of the stranger. No name appeared above his head, nor a plumbob. So he was an NPC, that she could be sure of. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" she said from in front of him.

Allania watched as her energy gauge slowly filled up, reaching its capacity. With a sigh she got up, it seemed like it was time to get on moving once again. When on her feet she brushed down her back with her hands, removing stray tendrils of moss and flecks of dirt that may be on her new cloak. Now prepared Allania set off, heading in the same direction that she had before the fight. Heading deeper into the dense jungle. Ducking down under the vines that hung at head height.

Allania 56/56 HP | 14/14 Energy | 6 DMG | 18 MIT | 7 THR | 3EVA

Allania lied down on the ground, the intermittent dirt and moss underneath her acting as a cushion. While she lay there Blaze came over and tried to nuzzle at her, trying to help her to recover, but it did nothing, she was already back at full health. Allania lazily rested a hand upon Blaze's back, idly stroking his soft fur. "It's okay, I'm fine. If you want me to avoid getting hit I can try that new item I have with me. It'll make me harder to hit. How does that sound?" she asked, the question just going out into the air.  What she got a response was her hand being bounced up and down by Blaze hopping about. "I'll take that as a yes" she said, sitting up and swiping her menu open. She took off her dress and equipped her cape. "This should do it" she said to Blaze.

 Allania got up from bed and went into the back room. Still groggy from sleep she took out 7 materials from her supplies and set them upon her workstation. She then sat down at said workstation and began to craft. It was slow progress today, sleep still edging at her consciousness. Labouring her way through the crafts she finally came to the end. The results today were rather pitiful, only 1 rare, no perfects. She would have to hope that she was in a better shape to craft tomorrow.

Allania got back to searching, looking around for anything that would be of use to her. It seemed however that this place was picked clean, as after searching thoroughly, investigating each and every plant she was unable to find a material. Giving up Allania headed on over to where Gaster was just in time to hear his question. "Blaze? I met him out in this field somewhere. I had heard from an NPC that if you fed a mob food then there was a small chance you could tame it. So I headed on up to a little diner on the third floor, buying a salad there and headed back down here, I then went in search of a creature I wanted to have as a friend and quickly found Blaze, but he was much larger then, the size of a normal Boar in fact. I chased after him for a while before finding him injured within a thicket. I never found out why he was there, why he had run into the brambles, but I'm glad that he survived".

"That would be nice" Allania responded, her mind elsewhere as she fantasized about Spaghetti Bolognase, how she would get to once again taste it, even in this world. Snapping back to reality Allania nodded "Yeah, that's fine with me" she said, referencing Grave deciding what clothes when the time came, "it'll just be nice to see you again". Allania took a deep breath and pulled the mask back down on her face, it was time to head on back outside. Allania got to the edge of the cave, looking out while still being inside, watching Grave just stand there. "You take the lead, I'll follow after you" she shouted over the storm, hoping her words would not be whipped away on the wind.
