Vigilon

Goblin Soldiers were shattering one by one, clearly the players had already won, and were finishing off the last of the enemy forces. Vigilon activated Tornado Kick one last time, and it was over. The last two Goblin Soldiers screeched and shattered, and only players remained in the vicinity. With the issue now handled, Auranika decided for her and her ally to have a peaceful conversation with Vigilon and Krysta. "Well, now that those goblins are out of the way..." She began, before looking to Krysta. "I don't believe we have met. I go by many names. The Golden Dragon, The Angelic Warrior, Auranika, Lady April. Feel free to call me what you prefer." She introduced. Her ally seemed to be the cheery and energetic sort. "Hi~! I go by Serafi, nice to meet you two!" She said to the two players. "Nice to meet you, Serafi, I'm Vigilon." Vigilon greeted.

Chaos. Just Chaos.

Oh, and Goblins, too.

As the battle raged, one Goblin who had no opponent, climbed up to a ledge and raised its crude staff, calling out towards the battlefield. This rallied the Goblin Soldiers, for whatever reason, and the enemies started chanting whatever the one with the staff said.

One thing, though...what the heck did "Lin" mean?

Vigilon watched as one of the Goblin Soldiers disarmed Krysta. "Oh no you don't." Vigilon thought, before jumping right into their formation and attacking with Tornado Kick. The attack caused all three enemies' HP to drop into the red, and with all their rage, they all tried to jab their spears at Vigilon. Unfortunately for them, he'd proven himself to be a nimble opponent, angering them even further, due to not being able to reach him. "Try and get me if you can!" Vigilon taunted, seeing that he had the enemies' attention. He quickly moved to the side, and handed Krysta back her weapon. "Won't be long now." He reassured.

Auranika was a bit surprised to find players coming in droves so suddenly, with Vigilon and his girlfriend arriving first. Then again, seeing how these two players who disrupted the original plan unwittingly whipped the goblins into a frenzy, she didn't mind this surge in reinforcements. "We actually could use your help right about now." She remarked in response to Vigilon's offer. Those words, while appreciated, were not necessary, as all the players had already arrived to take on the excess Goblins by now.

Krysta severely weakened one Goblin Soldier, and Vigilon attacked all four enemies in the opposing monster group, finishing off the one Krysta damaged as he did so. "One down, three to go!" He thought aloud as he noticed that there were no more excess goblin soldiers at this point. Each one had a duo to face, and they were all in groups of four. This whole thing just might be easier than expected.

"Yeeeeaaahhhh, see, Krysta's not opposed to killing killers, as long as she believes they're evil..." Vigilon noted after Krysta had her rant. "She's um, been through some things, including the loss of her cousin....caused by Dazia." Vigilon revealed...

And yet Vigilon wasn't willing to tell her what he'd learned about Dazia, that she was actually...nah, never mind, it wasn't like that would ever be an important thing to mention. It would be kinda weird if he did. "I do agree that it's unbelievable that Kayaba would ever force players to slay innocent creatures, but then again, it's not very far fetched if he's twisted enough to make this game a death game and trap us in it." He added.

The players were all now taking a good look around the area, but it wasn't like they'd searched every corner just yet, which made sense as no one had found anything just yet. All Vigilon could see on the horizon was more of the mountains, and maybe a portion of the floor from above...but other than that, he wasn't seeing very much.

Yeah, they probably needed to search in a different spot of the area.

@Astreya

"Yeah, makes sense, I guess..." Vigilon noted. With all things now spoken, and a number of questions to answer, all that was left to do was to continue searching the floor for the nest.

The trio would travel to a more mountainous portion of the floor before reaching the general area the map was taking them. "Well, this is the area the map led us to..." Vigilon began. "But I don't see any evidence of anything living around here. Did we come too late? ...Oh, wait, right, Dragon. It might use flight to get home easily...hmmm...how should we search...?" Vigilon finished, thinking aloud at the end. If there was anything he knew of permadeath games, even truly lethal ones like this, the obvious wrong answer was to split the party...even if the floor was low level. "Well, clearly we're not gonna split up, so maybe we should split and divide our attention instead...maybe we could all look in different directions, keeping an eye out for the nest, while still traveling in the same group?" Vigilon suggested. Sure, this seemed like an easy answer to this problem, but he was asking because better safe than sorry.

Vigilon listened to the answers each player gave. Astreya didn't manage to find anything, but Krysta did. She read the page's contents to Vigilon and Astreya, and suggested that it might have a connection to the other papers Vigilon found earlier. "You know...that just might be the case." Vigilon remarked. "The Journal entry I found when this all started seemed to be someone who was seeking out a dragon's lair, and the name of the quest we're now in mentioned 'Dragon Hunter' in its title. Even if they're not the same person, they could have easily known each other." He explained. He then needed to give his own answer to Astreya's question. "Yeah, I found one...let's see..." He answered as he straightened up the paper, ready to read it aloud.

Quote

"I fought my first dragon. It happened as I traversed the forested mountains. The fierce monster didn't hesitate to knock me off of my wagon, cutting me deep with its long talons. I quickly drew my sword and swung it just as it went for another dive, forcing it to fly higher to avoid my swing. At first glance I think it was a he. I quickly ran to the sides of the cliff to provide myself some cover, causing the dragon to launch its breath attack at my shelter. The stone began to collapse on top of me. Hopefully I don't die in this rubble."

Vigilon didn't know what to think at first, and the small white frost dragon poking her head from his hood was growling with suspicion. He couldn't guarantee what kind of Dragon Hunter this guy was, or what kinds of Dragons he faced. Good ones? Bad ones? Sentient ones? Bestial ones? He didn't have much of a clue. "I don't know what to make of this..." He admitted. "But we still have a lead...wherever the map is taking us, that is."

So the boars continued their attack, apparently. Astreya pulled out her weapon and slayed three of the four boars, leaving the last one to Krysta...or so it was thought. Krysta ended up getting disarmed by the enemy's tusks, having to dislodge her weapon. If anything, at least it kept the boar distracted enough for Vigilon to have a clear shot at finishing off this particular boar...once Krysta was able to get her blade back from the enemy. Then Vigilon would rush in to attack with Scooped, before the boar had a chance to act. After it shattered, Vigilon looked to the rest of the boars. "Have you had enough?" He asked the blockade of boars. "Or are you thirsty for more?"

The boars looked to one another, before suddenly squealing loudly and dispersing at top speed. "Yeah, that's what I thought." Vigilon remarked. He then pulled out the strange paper he'd retrieved from the fourth boar. "Did anyone else get a paper of some kind during the fight?" He asked the two players he was with.

Astreya's familiar suddenly took flight, then returned with some loot? "Huh...I didn't know familiars could do that." He remarked. He looked back to his small white frost dragon, which simply huffed and showed off her frost breath. "I know you're proud of your bone-chilling frost breath, and I'm content with knowing you can do that, I'm just noticing this, that it was new, and kind of neat. That's all." Vigilon reassured. Veriost's expression was unimpressed, but it wasn't like there was anything else that could be said or expressed in this moment.

It was then that the Boar Blockade showed up. "That's...uhhh...that's a lot of boars... I am so glad Stryder's not here." He noted. It wasn't that he minded Stryder, heck, he considered the guy a friend...but he could definitely do without the guy calling him Boar Bait.

Krysta attacked the four boars that broke off from the blockade, charging towards the players. She managed to take down three of them, so that was one left for Vigilon to deal with. He activated his weakest Sword Art, Scooped, and sliced up the Boar that Krysta had missed. When that boar shattered, there was a paper in its place. "What the...?" He picked up the paper, and stowed it into his inventory for the time being. Now all that was left was to see if the monsters retreated, or continued to fight.

Vigilon attacked once more, and the battle was over. The atrocity fell to the ground, and seemed to be getting crushed by the weight of his own chains... it was like watching something become it's own black hole, in which the only matter it took in was from what started it. The monstrosity was crushed into a singularity, then it shattered like the monster's size had never changed, and Vigilon's height returned to normal.

"Whew...that was difficult..." Vigilon noted to himself. Suddenly, something he did not expect seemed to happen.

"Where am I?" Came a voice inside his head. No, not in the Mindscape, literally in his head. "Huh?? Um...Who's there? who said that?" He asked. "Is anyone there?" The voice asked. "Um, yes?" Vigilon responded. "What is this...this imprisonment...its different...where am I??" The voice spoke.

Now things were getting a little creepy. "Imprisonment? I just fought a huge eldritch guy with a bunch of chains..." Vigilon responded. "Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?" The voice continued...

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon had been in this game for a while. Sure, he managed to grow in power, despite it being a slow burn...but had he really accomplished much, or was he just an extra hand, an unnecessary wheel? Was he going to die here, or simply be ejected from the Mindscape? He felt everything crumbling around him, that he couldn't do anything about all of this. The chains hadn't left Vigilon since the last attack, but their weight seemed to begin crushing him. Was this physical, or mental? What was all this, really?

"..."

Vigilon couldn't possibly accept defeat just yet.

"It ain't over till it's over. So I guess the real question is, will I die a hero, or a coward?"

Vigilon pulled out one of the small red crystals once the disabling status ailments faded, and he decided to make use of it. Vigilon saw his HP restore a fair amount, then he attacked, managing to land a deadly attack on his opponent. Without all those defenses, his opponent's resistance was what Vigilon's could have been...futile.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon found himself dodging more than attacking, but hey, it was a fair strategy for staying alive. On one successful, strong hit, the chains around the opponent's torso shattered, and the opponent's HP dropped to red.

The enemy then seemed to utilize some kind of energy, and then, suddenly, Vigilon found himself stunned and paralyzed, and it was his HP that was now red, while his foe's HP was back to yellow. "You will fail, as you have done so in life. You failed to save your father, you could not save Ayaka without getting thrown away like garbage, you could not prevent Wardege's death, you could not get Garixon to see reason, you could not contribute to the front lines, you could not stop the Sundered Spire from destroying the lake...there is much you will never be capable of. Your existence is futile." The monster stated, now that it had the upper hand.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

So this guy can't get stunned. Wonderful. Maybe he should hope Paralysis kicks in in his next attack. He then attacked with Astral Hell, nothing special happened, except for a minor flinch from his opponent, who proceeded to attack with his chains again. Vigilon found it difficult to dodge roll this time, but he barely managed to avoid another difficult attack. He then attacked with Calamitous Disaster, and some of the chains on his opponent's torso broke and fell to the ground.

There was silence, and then both continued their assaults on one another. it seemed that Vigilon was able to deal more damage to areas that had less chains...which was kind of obvious, but...well, he couldn't reach his opponent's head, so he had to go for the new weak point he'd just made. Vigilon brought his attack of Galaxy Destroyer to his opponent's torso, and then came the chains to Vigilon's torso. Needless to say, neither of the two fighters were having a good time.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon's Sword did seem a bit heavy, though it didn't make very much sense that his light armor and his trinket had both shrunk with him, while the sword didn't...great, now he had to use both hands to swing his weapon at all times....unless this was only temporary, 'cause then he'd only need some time, so he could return to normal...a Stun Sword Art like Tempest should do the trick.

"What makes you think that will work?" The enemy said, probably taunting or lying just to get under Vigilon's skin.

"I don't know." Vigilon admitted. "But it's worth a try."

With that, Vigilon attempted to attack with Tempest. If it wasn't for that last-second change of direction, he wouldn't have been able to do it. The fact that Sword Arts did the work for Vigilon made this much easier, however(for the most part). The monster growled. "You dare to reverse the point of this encounter? Then he swung his chains at Vigilon...ok, so Stun doesn't work on this guy...

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon decided to try attacking the legs instead when he eventually rushed for his opponent, then went back to the torso just before striking. This actually worked, and it was too soon for his enemy to try blocking with the chains attached to his arms. The monster roared in anguish, then used his chains to-

completely tear the fabric of reality??

The torn, open space began to seep out with...well, something. What poured out soon reached for Vigilon, and he was unable to avoid what he saw next... he saw all the times he didn't do something, thinking he wasn't able to. He saw all the times he tried to do something, but failed to do so because he wasn't strong or skilled enough...when the quick, sudden visions faded, Vigilon was still himself...but his body seemed smaller? "Now that you are smaller and younger, how will you bring your Sword to me?" The monster asked.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Those chains were as heavy as they looked, all right. When he managed to get up, he saw that he needed to get the hell out of dodge. He rolled to his right and managed to avoid another chain attack. "I'm gonna have to think fast if I'm gonna get an advantage here... this guy swings ridiculously heavy chains that will knock my breath out of me and maybe even stun me. I've gotta steer clear of the chains around his arms, but if I could lay a scratch on the chains around his bulking torso, I might be able to get past them and reach the flesh, where I can slice through his vitals and deal more damage..." He thought.

"Just you try it, boy. It will not be what you expect." The monstrous brute said.

Right. Mindscape, his thoughts were always out loud in here. This thing could hear whatever he said...and that would be a real handicap.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

The monstrous figure got up from his bone throne, towering over Vigilon. "Only death and failure will follow your life." spoke a deep, booming voice. The midnight giant swung its arms, and the chains reached for Vigilon. He jumped back in an attempt to avoid the attack, and drew his weapon. Vigilon would try to use Galaxy Destroyer, but the enemy's HP didn't drop very much. However, the chains that were where Vigilon struck seemed to have been damaged slightly...maybe these chains served as some kind of destructible armor? "A foolish attempt." Vigilon's foe taunted.

"Tough talk but that's all bark. Have you got a bite?" Vigilon asked in an attempt to counter. In response, he was simply hit with the chains...and man, were they heavy. The impact practically knocked the breath out of Vigilon, and he could feel his respiratory system struggling to get air for a short moment.

Vigilon: [                    ] [          ]

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon was a damage dealer, Astreya was a tank in training, and Krysta was both damage dealer and supporter. The three main roles were filled by this trio, it seemed. Now it was time to set out, and Astreya would go right to it. Krysta followed suit, and Vigilon took a deep breath before stepping out. Everything had changed, so who knows what this floor was like now...he probably wouldn't be able to navigate around the floors as easily as he used to, but maybe he would figure things out in due time. Krysta would offer her shield to Astreya, and Vigilon wondered if she was doing this because she no longer needed it. Vigilon had a chance to switch weapons when he woke up, did Krysta do the same? 

Vigilon heard some soft growling from directly above him, but this growling was familiar. He knew exactly what was making the noise, and why. "I fed you an hour ago, are you seriously asking for more now?" He asked the small white frost dragon sitting on his head. The response would be the same growl, and Vigilon sighed. He pulled out two things from his inventory: His left hand had some fairly fresh meat, and on his right hand was a cupcake with vanilla frosting, topped with a snowberry from the fourth floor. The small white frost dragon would not hesitate to jump onto his right arm, and start eating the dessert. Vigilon had given the familiar meat the last time he fed her, so he kind of expected this reaction, knowing that this omnivorous little frost dragon liked sweets. He returned the meat to his inventory, Veriost was likely to eat it later.

He then pulled up his map, and looked towards the general direction of the players' destination. "Right...I guess it's this way." He noted. Hopefully there would be nothing troubling along the way...

Vigilon heard Krysta's words on him that were being spoken to Astreya. His face reddened slightly as a slight smile formed on his face. "That's really nice of you to say, Krysta." Vigilon added. "Might I add that you are incredible as ever? Caring and brave, beautiful and strong, a powerful heart...I can't see myself wanting to spend time with others as much as I want to spend time with you." He complimented, as he moved his right arm around Krysta, and placed his right hand on her shoulder. Wait, was he forgetting something important...? Oh, right, the map!

He removed his arm, and opened up his map, then compared it to the map from the two papers. While he wasn't able to pinpoint an exact location, he was able to figure out the general area of the floor where the dragon nest might be located. "Right, so, we'll be headed to a dragon's nest for this quest, from what I can gather." He began as he handed Astreya the paper showing the map that had many markings. "I don't know if this dragon will be friend, foe, or neither, so it's best we make sure we're ready. I can fill in a damage role, though I've also been getting better at finding things lately." He explained.

Astreya would point out that the scroll had another side, which Vigilon wasn't expecting at first. With a confused expression, he turned the scroll around...and it fell apart. There was not one paper, but two, each was a different side of the scroll, and the two ends were no longer holding the sheets of old paper. Dang, if Vigilon had known this scroll was old from the start, he might have been more careful with it. Seeing that the parts that made up the scroll didn't shatter was a good sign, though. He looked at the paper and read its contents...

Now the map and it's markings' meanings were crystal clear due to this note that seemed like a journal entry, and before Vigilon could thank Astreya, suddenly a prompt popped up in front of him.

Quest

<<Diary of the Dragon Hunter>>
Accept Quest?

O           X

Vigilon hesitated, but he accepted the quest. No turning back now...besides, what was it all about? "Dragon Hunter"... Vigilon's small white frost dragon jumped up from his hood up onto his head, and began looking at the papers curiously. "Huh...well, looks like we've got a quest on our hands now." With that, he pulled up his menu, and was ready to begin sending party invites. "You can feel free to help us out if you want. Even if the quest is relatively weak by level comparison, it wouldn't hurt to have another ally just in case. What do you say?" Vigilon offered as he sent Astreya a party invite, before sending another to Krysta.

@Astreya @Krysta

Vigilon was approached by a girl who seemed to mistake him for a newbie. The girl beamed as she introduced herself as Astreya. 

Vigilon smiled, though his answer might not be the anticipated one. "Nice to meet you, Astreya, I go by Vigilon. I've actually gone outside the safe zone before, in fact, I'm actually at what's apparently the level cap." He explained.

Before he could continue, Krysta arrived, letting Vigilon know that she came as soon as she got the message, before turning to introduce herself to the other player. Veriost, Vigilon's small white frost dragon, poked her head out from the hood of Vigilon's apparel, which she was previously asleep in. The familiar had poked her head out because she was curious if Krysta's familiar, Yolviinsil, was with her. Vigilon was ready to speak with Krysta when she finished introductions and when the other player had nothing else to say.

"Right...so I was trying to figure out this scroll here." Vigilon began as he pulled the item out of his inventory. "It's kind of unusual, but maybe it has some significance to this floor, seeing how I got it within this floor...at least, that's my current theory." He admitted as he looked at the markings, maps and runes on the scroll...but while he looked at one side, either of the two players could see the other side, which had old words and seemed to be a written entry of sorts. 

Vigilon poked his head out from looking at the drawn side of the scroll. "You can definitely help out if you'd like, Astreya. If there's anything you might know about this scroll...well, I'm sure I'd be fine hearing what you know." He said to Astreya, reassuring her in case she felt left out in this scenario.

@Astreya @Krysta 

Vigilon was barely on the first floor anymore, but he decided to check it out anyway, since everything had changed. Who knows what else was going on, with all that's happened...

He didn't see much of a difference in the Town of Beginnings, but there was always more to discover in a bustling city like this, especially since some players made their shops here. There wasn't really much he saw that was worth his while, until he met someone who was willing to trade with him...and what was offered? Some kind of scroll. He didn't look it over very much, but he intended to. For the time being, he needed to see what this was more clearly...hopefully without losing it. He stashed the item in his inventory, and began walking to the Safe Zone's edge. When he reached the town's gate, he would message Krysta, asking her to meet up with him. Low leveled players often showed up near the gate, so he knew he needed to be prepared to be asked for help...

Stats and Equipment:

Vigilon would enter a wide room, where his next battle was waiting for him.

So he looked, and behold, a hulking horror of muscle and midnight, sitting atop a throne made from many minuscule bones. The chains he wore were called Gravity, bearing a crushing weight, and the name of the bulking giant was Insignificance; Futility.

What a giant this thing looked like. It was difficult for Vigilon to describe such a twisted humanoid form that looked like it came from the void. It's muscular stature was one thing that could definitely be confirmed, but Vigilon had a hard time being able to take in the sight of this thing.

Vigilon doubted he would be brave enough to do a size comparison between him and this creature, which was probably twice as tall as him, maybe taller. Muscular, Dark, Unsettling, and Huge. Those were the only traits Vigilon could remember of it...oh, and the chains, too.

Futility: [                     ]

Vigilon would wander this environment, searching for another structure. Along the way, he would encounter some hostile entities like those metallic swarms, or those pesky sentry crystals. Hopefully there wouldn't be anything worse to fight, he was already having a hard enough time with them, since pain actually existed within the boundaries of the isle and its open labyrinth.

He would soon come across an atypical structure, and head right over to its door. When he walked in through the entrance, the door closed and locked. Another fight was now imminent, from what he could guess. This hall was decorated with red and grey glowing crystals, and also along the walls were some kind of designs that Vigilon could not determine at this current moment. What could possibly be in a place like this? What kind of opponent awaited Vigilon? There was only one way to find out, and that was to move on, towards the inevitable battle that lay ahead.

Vigilon would then do as he'd planned. He moved swiftly and erratically, and managed to avoid all but two of the hostile lights that came from the crystal. He then attacked it with Calamitous Disaster, and it shattered. Vigilon took a deep breath and sighed with relief when it was over...so, now he had two strange objects to worry about around here. The crystal never moved, so clearly it was some kind of sentry.

Vigilon moved on, continuing towards the tower that could be seen. When he finally reached it, he saw that there was a locked door...and only one lock was unlocked. "...Is this for like, some final goal or something...? Hmm...so this isn't one of the structures I was looking for, but maybe I can see what this one has to offer if I clear out the remaining three others...Great, now I gotta find those..." He thought aloud.

He began to make his way towards this strange tower, and he soon came across this strange crystal object. Well, it was odd that it was just sitting out in the open...but then suddenly, strange lights came from it, heading towards Vigi-

"Aaaagh!"

He hid immediately as soon as he realized this thing was dangerous...which is to say, after he got hit. "Ok...small red crystals, disturbing yet good. Large greenish-white crystals out in the field, bad...ok...ok." He noted aloud. Now how was he gonna move on with a crystal sentry just puppy guarding the area like this? Unless those blasts could follow someone, he'd have to move around to avoid getting hit. He needed a good running start, but he'd need to not be predictable if he was going to keep this thing from getting him even if he was running away. Well, he had a fair strategy, but now he would need to put it to action.
