Gryas

The pop up window appeared before Gryas and he clicked the accept icon and he was now part of the Emerald Harbingers. "That was much easier then I had thought, Part of me hoped there would be some kind of ceremony but that would not be very efficient now would it."  Gryas did not often use humor, but he was in a good mood today and thought he would try it out. "So is there some kind of task or anything that I can assist on for the guild?" He wanted to be active and to help out as much as he could around the guild but didn't really know where to start.

Gryas looked around the three of them and realized that they were just talking while standing in the middle of the forest. "Should we head back and talk on the way? We still need to get back to that NPC and hand this quest in as well."

After getting back from a long day out on the second floor Gryas almost decided to turn straight in and go to bed but decided that if he did not make an effort at crafting some potions today he would regret it. He pulled his chair up to the work station and settled down in his chair. Opening his inventory Gryas removed some materials and began working away combining them in his mortar and pestle. It only took a few minutes to craft the first item, it didn't seem to have any actually useful properties but the liquid did at least smell pleasant. Deciding to set that one up as a perfume Gryas put it to the side and began working on his second potion for the day. It actually turned out rather well, another basic health potion he can add to his store. Even if they don't sell he could use these himself. Gryas collected the two potions and placed them into the display case.

Gryas had just finished nailing up the sign out the front and then retreated back in to warm up by the hearth. He was now officially open for business so once he got a bit of feeling back in his fingers he would begin stocking up on different kinds of potions to sell. Stretching out his hands and cracking his fingers Gryas settled down at his work table and got to work, selecting one of his materials he added it to the mortar and pestle and worked away for a few moments until it slowly formed in front of his as a completely acceptable potion! His first attempt turned out to be a decent health potion and he was proud of his work. Putting the potion to the side Gryas added another material and once again toiled away, unfortunately the end results weren't as successful as the first as the item shattered under his fingers. "Well, all in all it was a successful first day!"  Gryas said as he carefully placed his newly made potion into the display case.

Located at the edge of the Starglades and just a short walk from the settlement of Snowfrost lies a simple wooden cabin with a warm and welcoming glow shining out the front windows and a comforting warm plume of smoke rising from the chimney. At the front it holds a breathtaking view of the Starglades from the front porch that lights up in magnificence at night and around the back you can find a garden brimming with all forms of plant life with dozens of different alchemical properties.

Upon entering guests are welcomed in from the cold to a blazing warm hearth in the corner of the room with a small oak desk and chair facing the entryway with a ink, quill and pile of papers on top of it, as well as a small plushy shaped like a Chimera. Along the back wall runs a long old oak table with a display case full of different kinds of potions for sale and running across the left half and a work station on the right covered in different kinds of alchemical equipment. A door on the back wall tucked in to the right leads out to the garden and another door along the right hand wall leads to a small yet comfortable living quarters.

A man wearing a loose fitting white buttoned shirt, black vest and undone tie looks up over the edge of the book he is reading while sitting at the small desk.

"Welcome to the Chimeric Cauldron! Come in and warm yourself by the hearth and I can show you my wares."

Gryas hiked all the way out to the Starview Tailor to visit his newly acquired companion as well to check out his store. He had just received a bunch of materials from an adventure outside the walls of the Town of Beginnings and felt like picking up some supplies for his new Alchemy store The Chimeric Caldron that he was going to open soon. "Hey Stryder how have you been? Thought I would swing by and check out this store of yours? I also have a favor to ask you." Gryas said as he accessed his inventory and took out 10 crafting materials. "Firstly here is an order for me, I am gonna be setting up a store in the next few days to practice alchemy and this like guy will come in handy. Secondly those other materials are for a friend of ours, she could use an upgrade to her armor and I have just come across a bunch of T1 materials that I am happy to use to help my friends with. I don't know much about light armor so can I leave it up to you to make her some perfect gear to help keep Zanne alive? These 10 should cover it I hope." Gryas asked as he handed over 10 T1 materials to Stryder.

Gryas looked through all of the items and materials that they had received today and once again felt satisfied by their little outing. Eager now to get back and complete the quest Gryas suggested to Vigilon that they return to the Town of Beginnings. The trip back was fairly quick and luckily they had not come across any difficulties or dangers along the way and before they knew it they were standing inside the shade of the high walls of the town. Moving through the town they made their way back to the alchemists where Gryas walked in triumphantly and began speaking with the old alchemist. "I have come back with a potion that I crafted, here it is!" Gryas said as he handed the Life Potion over for inspection. "Hmmm this is indeed fine work you have made here! I could not have done better myself! It seems like you have real talent there master Gryas. You have taken your first step on this new path of yours and I feel you are already ready to go off on your own!" The old man said as he passed back the potion. A quest complete notification popped up before Gryas.

Congratulations! Quest Complete!

Looking over to Vigilon, Gryas reached up and tried to scratch Veriost under the chin. "Well good work Vigilon, that is one quest complete! So what about you, what kind of profession do you want to try and take up? I would be happy to come along and assist you with it!" Gryas said, happy to return the help Vigilon provided.

OOC: Feel free to start up a new thread for <<Earning a Living>>  and add me if you want, happy to do that quest with you too!

Gryas entered A Heroes Infinite Arsenal and greeted Eatos as he soaked in the comforting warmth of the store. "Hey Eatos! How has business been?" Gryas asked as he walked up to the counter and greeted her. "I have finally made it back with the spear you lent me and I have got to say I am very happy with the craftsmanship, it was very effective! I was now actually hoping that you could make me a custom piece." Gryas asked as he picked up an order form and began filling it out. Gryas had recently gotten enough materials that he could afford to get a perfect weapon crafted, and unlike most his need for a perfect weapon was not like most other players who got new weapons to increase their damage but Gryas just wanted to hit more so he could keep the attention of the monsters he fought. Finishing the order form he passed it over to Eatos as well as placing the spear he had borrowed on the table. "Oh and here are the mats up front!"

Gryas examined the group and was impressed with the turnout of people willing to join up and help with a group of complete strangers. It seemed that Gryas was not the only one familiar with Vigilon however and that was probably a good thing, Vigilon was reliable and he had trust in Vigilons sense of judgment. Gryas was eager to put his tanking skills to the test and having a quick look around at the range of gear of those around him he made a commitment to himself that he would do his best to keep them all safe. He accepted the group party invite that was sent out. "Well this is a rather nice turn out, as I had said earlier, my name is Gryas. I would like to volunteer as tank for the group, if these attacks are as bad as it seems then it looks like things might get a little dangerous. I hope you don't mind me asking but might I inquire as to everyone's combat experience?" Gryas tended to over assess situations but felt it was better to strategize then to go into things blind. He hoped that he did not come off too upfront though.

Gryas examined the trade window as it popped up. "Hey thanks Vigilon! That's a lot of great loot! I hope you saved some for your self!" Clicking accept he felt a great sense of achievement from their ventures today, and he had plenty of materials now that he would be able to kick of with a good start to his alchemy profession and setting up a shop. Gryas could see that Vigilon was slightly distracted in his inventory, it seemed like he was examining the gear that he had just received from the chest so in the meantime Gryas decided to have a quick look around to make sure that they weren't leaving behind any materials before they made their way back to town. It took a little bit of time to look around and easily found another tier one crafting material that he could use in his soon- to be apothecary.

The wolves turned and began circling closer, Gryas raised his shield and was ready for them as they dashed through the trees towards him. He didn't even bother raise his sword, instead he made sure he left himself open just enough so that they would hit him but he kept tensed up ready to strike back with his shield. They began crashing into him, and one after another exploded into light as he turned his shield into each attack and activated his thorns in retaliation to their attacks. They all exploded in front of him, and Gryas in now exhausted victory took a moment to lean up against a tree and catch his breath. There was another notification pop up in front of him. He had received some more tier 1 crafting materials as well as a rare armour and rare weapon. That was a decent haul for killing these four wolves.

Gryas got back in the motions of combat and began moving with the wolves. He had recovered his breath from the last devastating attacks that he had received and was ready to keep on fighting. Gryas made an attack on one of the wolves but was not able to connect, and in return the wolf darted forwards and bit into his thigh before retreating. Two more attacks came in from both sides and Gryas braced himself as they crashed into him but that was what he had wanted as he twisted after the attack and bashed both of them aside with his shield. The fourth wolf lunged at him next and this time Gryas leant back on his rear foot and braced his shield in front oh him. The wolf exploded in light against the shield and Gryas received a notification for loot received, 1 x T1 material. It came at a price though as Gryas saw his health drop a little lower from the attacks.

Gryas ran through the trees as the two and froe with the wolves continued. One of the wolves however crashed through the trees towards him a little unexpectedly compared to the others attacks and crashed right into him. It knocked him off balance and while he was trying to regain his footing another wolf crashed into his legs and sent Gryas tumbling. The two other wolves weren't far behind as they both crashed into him as well, seriously chunking away his health as he tumbled through the brush and crashed into a tree. He had to move, they were coming in for another attack and Gryas' health had just went down into the red. Jumping to his feet Gryas moved through several trees placing them between him and the wolves, trying to catch his breath as he readied his sword and shield once more. Gryas thought about taking a health potion due to his low health but held off on it for now, if they got off another attack like that last one then he would need to or risk dying here to a group of unimportant wolves.

Gryas was on his way out of the cave when he heard the noise. It was a noise that was now getting very familiar with him, and very old. I looks like he was not as alone as he had hoped, he heard a howl in the distance followed by 3 more howls, each in turn a little closer then the last. Maybe he had just waited too long inside the cave because the next thing he knew there was rustling just beyond the closest trees to the cave and then a flurry of movement. 4 wolves burst out of the tree line and charged right for him, Gryas was ready however and raised his shield and let them crash into him one after another. He watched as they chipped away at his health but was not too worried as he raised his own sword ready to go on the attack. The last wolf crashed into him and the moment it turned Gryas chased it down slashing across its back and then turning once more to get ready for the next wave of attacks. Combat was getting to be second nature for Gryas as he once again fell into a battle rhythm.

Thank you! Very helpful!

Gryas looked over towards Zanne who already seemed amicable to the idea and willing to join. "Well it does seem quite promising. Besides if you wanted to join up Zanne I guess i would have to follow anyway, someone needs to keep you out of danger!" The last part was more in jest then his reasoning to join up. He had reason enough by himself to join up but with Zanne joining along as well that was a plus. He had made her safety in this world a priority since they had met on that first day and he intended to see to it that she survived this world to the best of his abilities. "So how would we go about signing up Stryder? I would be happy to come along and lend my shield when needed for the guild." This day had definately taken a different turn then what he had expected of it this morning, it turned out to be a far more important day then just the simple quest that they came here for

Hello all! I was wondering how many times people can search for treasure chests? I know that you can find 1 every 20 posts, and it takes a post to search for one with a DC 15+ but it does not say that you are not able to search a second time if the first one fails. Is it 1 search attempt per 20 posts or there is 1 chest to be found every 20 posts and you can keep trying?

Gryas didn't hesitate, he moved into the cave that appeared  to be a wolves den and began searching for another chest, seeing if his theory of this being a spawn point for them was valid. He searched around the cave and was not able to find anything of use. Maybe there had not been enough time yet for the chest to spawn? Gryas thought to himself. "Well I might as well take some time to look at all the gear that I have collected so far." It had been a decent haul, he was able to have gotten enough gear to make his recent blacksmith purchases worth it. He didn't get enough Col to pay for the gear he had bought but he did get enough materials and items to make it all worthwhile. He thought he would just take a rest, he was not too worried about the wolves so rather then heading back and resting he decided to just take a seat against the cave wall in here and take a moment to get some Hit Points back.

There was something wrong with this wolf, it attacked far too furiously and it seemed way more dangerous then the other two. Once again it managed to get inside of his defenses and broke his shield guard, hitting him hard but thankfully no damage was getting through his mitigation. Gryas turned and counter attacked but the wolf was moving too fast, it dodged his attack and jumped to the side, circling him and reading itself for another attack. Slightly frustrated that the wolf was able to break his guard once again Gryas steeled himself, this wolf might be too swift and aggressive for the thorns in his shield to work but that didn't matter, Gryas needed to begin focusing on the attack so he steadied his arm and readied himself for one last strike. If he could land a hit on this wolf he would end the fight then and there.

The last wolf seemed to get enraged by the death of its two companions and it attacked with fury, swiping at Gryas with its claws and lunging at him with his fangs. Gryas was knocked slightly off balance with the strength of the attack and it threw him off when he had tried to swipe back at the wolf, missing it by a good half a meter as it dashed by. The wolf turned rapidly and came at him again but this time Gryas was able to bash it to the side with his shield, trying to activate his thorns as he did but the wolf broke his guard and hit him through the shield. It backed up and began circling Gryas, fire in its eyes ready for another attack. Gryas stared back at it. "Come and get it!" He bellowed a challenge and raised his sword and shield once more.

The flow of battle continued for a few more minutes with neither side making any leeway but then Gryas saw it, his opportunity that he was waiting for. He dashed forward and struck one of the wolves and then paused. The wolf he hit went flying but that was not what he was waiting for. Then it happened, the other two wolves lunged at him at the same time and in one smooth motion Gryas turned his shield at the exact right moment and crashed it into both of the attacking wolves. They exploded on the other side of his shield into little crystalized shards of light and Gryas got a loot notification appear in the corner of his screen. Turning just in time he saw the other wolf coming at him and he managed to get his shield up in time to do the same to the third wolf but it didn't explode like the other two. Its health however was almost spent, one more hit on either side would end this fight.
