Gambit

"Aw man, what? That's so lame..." No fight? Gambit was crestfallen... but he recovered quickly. Not five seconds after the news, he was back with a fresh bounce in his step. There was no way there was a dragon quest without there being a requirement to slay a dragon. Not in a fantasy game like this. He had to give himself a mental pat on the back for piecing that together, though -- but he was careful not to come off as too smug. Gambit would keep it to himself for the meantime. They'd catch on sooner or later. He couldn't help but pick up on the weird vibes the two girls were givi

Music? Bells? A small pleasant chime, and light. Flying into view was a perfectly spherical winged sprite. It seemed... happy to see him? It flew around him in circles, leaving evanescent globules of light in a trail behind it. Gambit snorted. "I guess you're my familiar, huh?" He cupped his hands and the sprite landed gently in them. It hardly weighed a thing. "Well, I can't imagine you'll be doing much in combat, but..." It was kind of cute, wasn't it? Gambit smiled. "That's fine, though. Alright!" He pulled away and the sprite flew up beside him, hovering around his shoulders. Gambit

Deep in the elven wilderness, Gambit couldn't help but feel a little bit out of his element. There was a primal fear that had rooted itself firmly in the pit of the brave warrior's stomach, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched. "Well, here I come!" He announced it to the empty space between the trees, and only an echo was the forest's response. Still, it made him feel a little bit better. He sat there and waited. He wasn't sure whether or not the consumable was actually going to work, though. The light had already faded, and still there wasn't any sign of any animals in

"Whoops, totally forgot!" He transferred the money and slid the ring into his pocket in one smooth motion. "Need this. Thanks!" He was out the door in a flash. purchasing elden ring.: LD III [231522] -500 Col to @NIGHT

"Scouting a dragon's lair, eh?" Gambit smirked. "Nothing I can't handle." Ever since he'd killed that Floor One Field Boss, Gambit had been on a roll. When a seemingly helpless fighter handily dispatches the terror of an entire floor, said fighter would obviously earn a well-deserved boost in confidence. And a well-deserved boost in confidence Gambit had, and then some. Nothing could stop him. He had a new sword, a flashy little plushie dangling from the pommel of aforementioned sword, and a bad attitude to match. This Ariel fella needed help dispatching a few winged lizards? Leave it to

Thanks!!

Suffice to say that Gambit did not find any crystals. Well, he hadn't really been looking for them, either. Despite what he'd told the lady who'd (uninvited) joined him in digging his hole, Gambit wasn't in it for the rewards in the slightest. He was in it for the love of the game. The lady had left him alone for the most part, and that was just fine for him. He didn't know or even wish to know about the treasure hunt the others were embroiled in. He had greater plans. But greater plans would have to wait. After wordlessly toiling away at his hole's excavation, Gambit had struck ro

"Crystals?" Gambit asked. Was there something going on at the beach that he didn't know about? "What crystals?" He looked up from his digging and cast a cursory glance at the people gathered at the beach. They all seemed like they were scouring the sand for something. His mind immediately went to seashells -- but the nice lady (@Acanthus) who'd approached him had mentioned something about crystals. He looked down into the hole he'd been digging, now quite a bit more than ankle deep. The only thing in it that he could see were his own sand-covered feet. "Uh, no crystals." When she a

There was a small, quickly forgotten moment during his thinking that Gambit realized he actually felt sorry for the Gemini. He couldn't be sure of it, of course; but were its eyes not shockingly human? He wondered if the frontliners thought about stuff like that. Gambit realized that there might be a difference in NPCs, and for the first time, the idea of NPC consciousness occurred to him. The very thought seemed preposterous. How could that be? Well, he reasoned, Cardinal (he believed it was called) was supposed to be some self-sustaining system, constantly adjusting game balance, adding new

Gambit stood there a moment, processing what had just happened. It was a lot to take in, especially for him. After standing there for a couple of minutes, he scooped up his sword and sheathed it across his back. Although he'd come to the 6th Floor to scavenge for something to eat (potatoes, my beloved), Gambit found himself with no real appetite to speak of. He started the short walk back to the safe zone. He hadn't made it very deep into the jungle, and he figured he wouldn't want to try to get any deeper again anytime soon. He had a lot to think about, and he didn't know where to start. What

The Gemini stared at him. And then the quiet broke, and he (it?) laughed. Gambit was shocked. His laugh was genuine, almost musical. The white hair and colorless eyes suddenly didn’t seem so menacing. Gambit sighed, relieved, and shook his head. “Well,” Gambit said, “I guess it’s alright if you keep me wondering…” He checked the stranger’s health and saw that there was still only a sliver remaining. He didn’t dare yank his sword out. “Sorry,” he apologized, “I didn’t mean to get you so low.” The Gemini, still looking quite amused, shook his (his) head. His body began to g

Gambit was up first. He stumbled over to the stranger, who laid there motionless since he’d collapsed. He hadn’t died. Which was a good thing, maybe? Gambit’s sword was still stuck in his gut, and Gambit wasn’t too sure if it was the best idea to pull it out. His heart was hammering in his chest and he struggled to find the words. But the Gemini stared intently at him, its colorless eyes wide and curious. Gambit fought to catch his breath. There was something about the way the stranger watched and reacted to him that didn’t feel like the other NPCs that resided in safe zones, or handed o

The stranger forced himself to his feet. Gambit let him get up. He was no longer shaking. He began to feel that same confidence that had compelled him to hunt the wolves, the boars, and the Nepent Variants. He could do this – he was good at it. He suppressed the urge to smile. Celebrating early would do him no good. The stranger smiled for him. He readied his sword and Gambit did the same. Time seemed to blend together as they clashed. The stranger went high and Gambit blocked high. Gambit went low and the stranger parried that, too. The stranger ducked, going to sweep his legs, but some
