Hidden

Hidden waited silently. She was a tad bit annoyed that the person was not here at the time they posted the quest, but nobody in this game was perfect. She heard a cough right behind her, scaring her out of her wits. Making a quick decision, the girl spun around, ending up a few feet away with her knees bent in a battle ready position. Somehow, her weapon was in her hand. <Shadow's Bite> was black and if he were to look close he would see this thin line of black smoke arising from it. The figure was cloaked as well, until they removed it. It was a male with a bit longer hair than most guys and glasses. He had spoken of her being the one accepting the quest, and he did not appear to know who or what she was. The woman slowly stood up, bringing her weapon back hidden inside its sheath. He must have just been very quiet walking up or something. He did not mean any harm. She stood stiffly and nervously gave her name. "H-h-Hidden. My name is Hidden." She did not even attempt at a friendly smile. Something told her that she was lucky to not have attacked. He looked rather highleveled. He would have killed her instantly if he would have tried anything.

OOC No fair.... Highest LD I can get is 21

Hidden strayed onto the third floor. The scenery of the first floor was getting a bit boring, and she did not want to move to the mountainous floors of the second. She would rather stay into the much peaceful area of the third floor. The woman was short, surpassing five foot by a mere inch. She was completely cloaked, her dagger, <Shadow's Bite> rested in the sheath inside of its sheath. Her unseen purple eyes surveyed the area and she blinked as she heard the beep of a notification. It appeared someone wanted to be accompanied by someone for a higher level quest in this area. They said nothing about helping, just accompanying. She sighed, accepting the request. She was given details of the location. The teleport gate. She closed her menu and walked cautiously forward. There was no one around. Perhaps they were late. She felt her hand move to the hilt of her dagger by habit as she was unsure of what was going on. Was it perhaps a joke, or a trap? She had to be on alert either way. She was not that strong yet, and being on this floor could be dangerous if she was not at full readiness

@Hikoru. 

Hidden looked over to Keres as she spoke, seeming actually sincere. Domarus seemed bewildered at the fact that she had spoke up. She nodded inside her hood and turned to Domarus who seemed to want to try and stay out of her way later in the game by promising that he would stay out of that area. She did not think of it is a quiet area, but it was a good place to find some materials. It was where she found most of her materials for the first quest that she had completed. She began to move forward, ensuring that her weapon was ready. She did not feel like anything funny was going to happen, but it was best to be on the safe side. It was strangely quiet, and Hidden did not like that since she was traveling with two total strangers, probably both of much higher level than she. She had to ensure that they had no time to think against her, or speak quietly in private. "So Domarus, what is your build, or desired build?" She figured she would keep conversations not to personal but have them on be basic.

@Domarus

She opened the door of the blacksmith. She literally had just finished the last of her errands that Zachariah had for her. She had earned quite a bit of experience form it, and he had let her go with a good amount of potions. Now she was to bring this package to the blacksmith. She stepped inside of the forge and searched around. She seen an anvil with a man working hard on a sword a it. As his eyes met her figure that was masked by a cloak he smiled. He seen the package that rest in her hands. With a booming voice Lyle Tealeaf spoke. "Ah my package! Thank you!" She handed him the package with a slight smile surprised of how jolly this gruff man was. He moved over to his anvil again and looked at it with a frown. He began to search around, a bit frantic for something. Curious, the woman pulled down her hood as she knew this was an NPC that was unaffected by her appearance. "What is the matter?" The man looked to her with a smile and calmly said, "It appears that I have misplaced my boar pup tusks. Could you perhaps go out and fetch some for me?" The woman nodded and turned to head out the door. 

Hidden watched the man closely. He offered her a friendly grin, which seemed pleasant but she was quite used to the look. He was very good at it, so much she had to question herself if he was really doing it. Deception. Something she occasionally used herself, but had yet to master. 'I don't know anymore. Perhaps i'll just follow. Perhaps I can make a good resource out of him. It really is best to know someone, and he certainly has the build of a fighter.' She smiled and realized it was hidden into her cloak. Looking to the side, she gazed upon the plains. "My name is Hidden." She found that the woman, Keres as Domarus introduced her, bowed to her telling her that it was nice to meet her. She studied the woman for any signs of unhappiness but found none. She could not pin the man against anything so she decided that she might as well go with him. She found the dragon remained on her shoulder, but for some reason, its presence was a bit comforting. Odd.... She never had a pet before. 

She listened closely as Domarus spoke of where they should search. He offered to stay in the plains though. Her eyes drifted to the forest and pointed toward it. "I have found that there is an excess in and right outside the forest. Materials in the plains are a bit more scarce, so best to move to the forest" She blinked. 'Where did that come from? It was a bit strange. She usually kept information like that to herself, and did not participate in conversation.' She looked up at the man's face. If he was deceiving her, he was doing a fantastic job. He had somehow... somehow managed to get get information out of her. She fell the hilt of her dagger hidden in the sleeve of her cloak, prepared to use it if need be. 

@Domarus

Hidden watched as a very tall red haired man came out of the gates. He did not appear like most did, but instead appeared to be quite a bit stronger. Much stronger than herself at least. Her eyes quickly flicked to the man's armor, appearing to be made out of some sort of bone. Her eyes moved to a flaming familiar on his shoulder, appearing to be a small dragon. It appeared to have the same sort of armor as its master. Her eyes caught someone shorter, but still taller than herself following the man. She was dressed in a maid's outfit as if she was a servant to the man. She also had a familiar but it appeared to be a snake of some sort, but she did not appear as much as a... threat. The man was large, and had an aura that made him seem in charge. She shuddered a bit and was quite surprised when his dragon leapt onto his shoulder and refused to move. In a booming voice the man approached apologizing. He also said the only ways it would move if he forced it, or she came along. She felt a bit forced to be going. The man blocked the way back into the town, and she knew there was no point really. 

She was a bit weary about going but she answered, "Um... I am afraid I am not that good yet, but sure I can come if you like" She felt as if soon she would be regretting her words. Anyway, she really had not given this man a chance. She should at least try, if not then she would be out in a mere instance. Her eyes flicked toward the dragon the rest upon her shoulder. Its flames licked her cloak but did not burn for some reason. She looked back to its master, the man at least a foot and a half taller than herself. She had a feeling that she might end up like the woman behind him, but the girl behind him seemed loyal. Something she had not shown to anyone yet.

This time she got it good enough for the man. He smiled and took the potion from her and clapped his hands. "Good" he said. "You have shown me that you could take up any task, even the most difficult and longest of tasks. I know now that you can continue forward. You have a bit of a journey ahead of you, bust something tells me you on't find it to hard." He grabbed something off of his table and handed it to her. "Bring this to this blacksmith known as Lyle Tealeaf. He will know exactly what do do with it. Follow his orders and train hard while you are at it." He smiled and brought her to the door, closing it on her way. Quickly moving, she needed to get to the man's smith shop. Finally she reached her destination, but she paused at the door, mentally readying herself before entering. Finally ready, she pushed it open to reveal a forge.

She sighed and returned to the work. She was not even an alchemist. She did not WANT to be an alchemist. She really did not know what she wanted to be, though she might follow what Sey said and be a merchant. It was not that bad of a profession, and she would not get it for quite a long while. She refocused on her work, making sure she did exactly s he told her. It was surprising that he wanted to see her do this, perhaps he just liked to see other's fail, but his smile was kind showing her that he would not do that. It appeared to be going a bit better than the last, but eventually it just stopped, another fail, another material wasted. She looked to Zackariah as if to ask if she could be done now. He shook his head, repeated the process and handed her another material. She was NOT going to fail this time. 

75340 CD:2 Seriously? 

She quickly moved forward, back into the town and once again she paused at his door, this time taking no time to knock. She walked right in, materialized a bag full of the materials and set them unto the table. The man's smile was kind it he did not seem surprised at all that it took quite a long time. "You have done quite well, I congratulate you upon your work. Now, I am going to ask two more things of you. Help me make some potions and ah... deliver something for me" The man's tone was kind, and his face really was not one to say no to so she just gave him a slight nod. She walked over to the potion set and grabbed one of his materials. The man seemed to be watching ehr every move like a hawk, like he was waiting for her to just die. She began her brewing. The potion turned out terrible, and the man gave a warm smile and began to redirect her, showing her how to do it. He also wanted her to try again even though she already had wasted a material. 

75339 CD:1 WHY

She kept searching, now with new purpose. Not the fact she needed one more material, but the fact that she could be done and begin to get the hell outta here. She searched through the leaves, moving things aside until she finally found one last gleam. There, growing without the sun, was the last material. Quickly, she picked it, using not caution with it. She watched it dissapear and she turned toward the towns and began to head back that way. The older man hopefully would not scold her for taking absolutely forever would he? 'If he scolds me I am just going o leave, this should not be a quest with a rude NPC. I will stab an NPC before I ever get scolded by one. This is not going to be a remake of the real world. I will not be treated like crap, because in this world, there is no rule against killing. 

75337 LD:18 5/5 Materials

Everything in her body told her to just give up, head somewhere else, but she managed to keep looking. It was just two materials, how much longer could it take? Keeping the train of things moving, she kept searching, and then she finally saw another. Another small gleam in the grass. She scurried over to it and seen another plant like item growing in the grass. She picked it and instantly it faded, leaving her only one material to find. 'Finally, Only material let to find. After I get that in, then we can start moving back to Zachariah's house and start making those potions he wanted me to do.' She was quite happy to be almost done, just one more spot of luck and she was getting the hell out of these plains. Something told her that she was not going to be done with the plains, jsut quite after she got these materials.  

75336 LD:14 4.5 Materials f'ound

Hidden began her search again, keeping everything going. The more she kept to it the fast she would be done. She only needed two more materis, and then she could haul out of here. There did not appear to be anything in the area so she sat down a bit down from her failed day. You figure it would be a lot easier but no, not for her. She wished she could find at least one more item, take it over to him and just be done. She really wished she did not have to find five, three should be sufficient enough, but the quest required to take five. She stood up, looking atound. She seriously felt like finishing the quest tomorrow, but she really wanted to get it done today, and work on her search and detect skill. She had decided that she would work on dagger and search and detect skill at first, probably get them both max, and then fill out the rest of her build. 

75334 LD:6

Hidden stood facing the plains, right behind her was the gate into the first floor. She stood in the shadows, ensuring she did not get as much attention. She adorned a cloak, covering her body from head to toe. Underneath revealed a woman, quite short with long black hair and deep purple eyes. Not many people seen that her. Only one in this had. Her mind flickered to Sey for just a moment and she could almost see his smiling face with clean ghostly white hair. As her face felt a little hot she shook of the thought. It would be a bit before she would eve allow herself to see him again. She wanted to show him that he had really been a big help, and hidden in the right sleeve of her cloak was one of the items he had helped get her. <Shadow's Bite> had become one of her most valuable possessions even though she had yet to use it. She did not want to engage in combat until she was sure she was ready. Now was not that time. She wanted desperately to use it, but now it would only be used to fight for her survival if need be, and there would not be a reason for that anytime soon. 'Well, I might as well get out there and do something. The more I train, the faster I will be to able to be useful' She had always wanted to be useful, but so far the real world had shown her that she did not. 

(Sorry for a short opening thread)

It appeared her luck streak had finally ended. She kept searching around the area again in spite of the fact that she found two solid materials there. Though she searched for about five minutes, she turned out empty handed. She was fine with this, but it was a bit of a bummer. The fact she would have to wait again. She had started to get so close, but then was slowly beginning to fall of the trail. It was fine, but she was running out of time, and wanted to be done with this quest in about thirty minutes at the latest. She had no intention of having this quest taking the rest of her day. She had other things to do. Really she did not, but the quest should not take her a few hours to complete when she was just hunting for materials. Perhaps it was because the floor had really been picked clean, and the once filled with items floor, had really nothing left in it. 

75231 LD:1

She kept searching. Her hope was rising gradually at her previously found material. It was a good sign that perhaps a few more were lying around her as well. The spot where she was at was very green and alive when it came to plants, so there had to be something laying or growing down inside of it. In a few minutes, she found what she thought was another gleam in the grass. Her heart was pounding with excitement. She had originally thought that this quest was just against her, but now it was doing wonderfully. She parted the grass around the glow and found another plant like thing. She picked it from the ground, causing the soil to be uprooted as well. She held it with a smile. She was almost done now. Two more and she on her way back to the old man. She needed to finish this quest. She just had to. 

75230 LD:16 3/5 Materials found

She kept looking. Eventually one HAD to turn up. Soon, she would find materials as if it was nothing, but today was not that day. She had to struggle, but struggling was fine. The struggle is what makes it amazing as you finally reach the point where you are amazing at it. Finally out of the corner of her eye, she caught a gleam. Her eyes became wide and she rushed over to the spot immediately. Her mind had not tricked her. Laying in the grass was another material, perfect for what the old man needed. She picked it and it glowed brightly in her hand until it faded as it added to her quest items. "Finally, that is two. Lets see If I can get a luck streak going. This is turning out to be really terrible for me." She turned and looked to the nearby spots, hoping that one of them might just get her another material. 

75229 LD:19 2/5 Materials found. 

She wanted to just stop, take a few minutes to just be able to calm herself down. She was getting worked up, and now just wanted to give up, but to become stronger, she knew she could not. This is what she was meant to do. The quest was a test of perseverance. It just wanted to see how far she could manage to go. Taking a calming breath, the woman  stood, eyes closed. She stood there a second and decided to reopen them. 'Alright, lets look for some more materials' She searched silently but once again came up nothing which made her want to rage but she kept herself still and calm. She had no intention of alerting anything near her as she went berserk trying to find materials. Being found would be bad. She would be killed no doubt by even level one creatures. At the moment, she stood no chance, but later that would change. 

75528 LD:8 Nine Rolls, Only found One.... 50% Chance of finding one..... Wow... just wow

Hidden groaned at her utter weakness. She could not do anything. This quest took forever, and there was no way it was going to speed up. She had absolutely nothing to speed up the process. She had a single skill rank in dagger, but that would not be helping her here. She needed a point in search and detect. She should have known she would need it more at first then her damage, but in the beginning, she needed something to defend herself, and that skill rank was all she had. She searched around again, coming up with nothing once more. Tasting defeat, the cloaked figure sat on a log, using it to prop herself forward. She was failing the older man, and there was no way that he was going to get his materials anytime soon, espically with the rotten luck she appeared to have. 'I have to just look harder I guess'

75227 LD:6

Hidden continued her search, although the area seemed to be a little scarce on materials. She felt if she had invested into search and detect, she would have definitely found at least another by now. In her mind she already new her build. Assassin. She would invest into her dagger, scouting skills, along with hiding and a familiar. That as going to take a lot though, just to even get some of the skills. It to fifty to grandmaster each, and the first two were probably going to be dagger and search and detect. Then, her familiar. Just because she liked the feel of a good weapon in her hand, the familiar would probably be loot finding proficient. She could not find anything else in the area, everything was scarce for some reason, and she was a bit ticked. This quest should not be that hard to deal with.

75226 LD:10 COME ON!

Hidden stepped into the forge. She needed a quick weapon, and she had heard this was one of the best places to get it done. The character that now stood in the forge was hooded, covering her appearances. She silently walked forward, wanting to say as little as possible. She heard the smith was nice, but personally, Hidden did not know her. She set the slip down on the table and opened her menu. Her finger hovered over the area that included the materials Sey had given her for getting items. She smiled softly at the thought f=of hi and clicked the materials, sending the required five materials. "I hope this is sufficent" the woman said in a low, quiet voice. With that the woman turned and went to go and stand in a corner. Her information made it sound as if the smith was fast and could craft the weapon well.

Hidden remained... well hidden as she tried to remain away from the wolf. Luckily, it had not appeared to discover her location, and soon would stray off as they always did. She kept quiet and soon a howl was heard in the distance. Immediately, the wolf bound off, leaving the Girl alone. She crawled out of the bush and began to dust herself off. She did not feel like she was ready to fight an enemy just yet, at least level three and have some sort of weapon to be able to increase her damage output. Being cautious was important at lower levels and when you were alone. You had trouble doing just about anything. Anything was danger, even the standard boar that traveled alone in the plains. As a lower level, you could only take about two hits before you were critically low or dead. She needed to be able to take at least five, and be able to kill them in about two hits to minimize damage taken. Healing came slow, especially for her.
