Searching for Treasure Chest: ID# 109967- LD: 10+5=15- Treasure Chest Found!

Cosi- Hp: 270/400 | 40/40 EN |

Cosi continued his meandering walk through the ice tunnels that either were or led to Glacial Cove. Cosi really didn't know. Even though his shop- and therefore his home- was on this floor, Cosi really hadn't done much exploration on it. That is partly what this excursion is: getting loot and experience, as well as exploring the floor. Cosi turned a corner and, lo and behold, found himself in another one of the partly ice partly rock caverns. Inside were some large faintly glowing crystals and some of the same ore deposits Cosi had seen, but the main attraction was the heavy iron reinforced chest sitting in the middle of the room. Cosi grinned and approached the chest. The tank slowed and stopped however. It was strange to see a treasure chest just right smack dab in the middle of a room. That was not normally the case. Usually chests were hidden.

Cosi nodded at Pinball's advice. "Thanks for the advice." I should actually get some TP crystal just in case. Never know when I might need a quick escape. The way to Pinball's friend's how was kind of convoluted and long but Pin knew the path flawlessly. Or at least he knew it better then Cosi would even after multiple times of being walked through it. The duo ended at a large iron door emblazoned with a large skull upon it. A little creepy, Cosi thought to himself but he kept quiet, Everyone has there own tastes. Pinball banged on the door then waited as the dull thud echoed. The two players waited for a short spell before Pin seemed to remember something. The spear user moved over to a jewel embedded in the rock wall and pressed it. "Cool door bell." Cosi said mostly to himself, then he said louder to Pin, "Your friend does seem very secretive."

Fishing: ID# 109903- CD: 12- Treasure Chest fished up!

Cosi nodded his thanks. "How does this sound: I'll go get my own and then I'll get your back to you. And prosperity does sound really good. I'll have to get a trinket for that as well." Cosi chuckled, "Sounds like I'm going to be making another stop a Dom's artisan shop." Cosi took out his fishing rod as he spoke, then walked over to a medium sized pond, and cast his line in. He was no good at gathering materials so fishing was much better. Cosi felt something snag his hook so he began reeling his catch in. But it was harder than expected. Cosi tugged on his pole till he felt something give then suddenly there was no resistance and Cosi fell backwards. When a treasure chest landed next to the prone player he couldn't help but laugh. "Shield I've got another chest here for you." The blonde tank continued to chuckle.

Cosi- Hp: 255/400 | 17/40 EN |

Cosi was searching for any kind of loot but it seemed that he couldn't find anything. I found that ore in that more rocky area of these ice caverns so if I find another place like that I'll probably find some more of it. So with a place in mind Cosi began searching harder, quickly moving down tunnels, turning corners, avoiding more of the wandering crystal golems. The ice tunnels were quite a maze. Cosi was going to have a great time getting back out of here once he had enough of killing stuff for loot and sp. Cosi sighed as he continued to look but came up with nothing useful. "Guess We've just got to keep looking." Cosi said as Ladon poked his head out from beneath the white cloak. Cosi ran his hand along the snake's smooth scales, "No worries buddy. I'm sure we're going to get lots of loot."

Maybe I'll do some gathering as I regen cause this will probably take a good amount of time. Cosi's health had began to regen slowly but it would take time so he switched out his accuracy trinket and his hammer for his draconian ring and the beaded bracelet he was borrowing from Shield. There were no lakes or ponds around in the ice tunnels so Cosi would just have to gather materials the usual way: by looking for them. Besides I'd hate to imagine what kind of fish would be lurking in a place like this. Probably big and nasty ones. Cois shrugged to himself and began looking for materials in addition to treasure chests. I'm sure that there will be some chests in this place as well. It seems hidden enough and off the map that it would have good rewards. Cosi's gaze swept over the ice tunnels searching for more of the ore that he had found before

Result: 1000 Col, 2 T1 Mats

Cosi was sick of this fight. Mostly because every time Popsicle hit it did massive damage. Its like Popsicle has to crit to hit me or something. So Cosi prepared one last Delayed Sword sword art, coating his fists in a blinding pale blue energy, and then rushed the crystal golem. Cosi was reckless in his approach but apparently that made him too fast for the golem to react to. Cosi's right hook literally shattered the golem's jaw- Talk about a glass jaw- and the rest of the golem followed suite breaking into particles of light before disappearing all together. Cosi pumped his fit once in victory and then waited till his menu dinged open. Cosi looked through the rewards he had gotten from the crystal golem. It was a good amount of Col and a couple more of the ore materials. Cosi nodded and pocketed the rewards and then continued down his chosen path. Hopefully I don't find another one of those guys too soon I need time to regen. 
 

Cosi grinned and extended a hand as soon as he got close, "that's good and yeah I have been busy. First of all I got my familiar, Ladon." Cosi scratched the sleeping snake's head, and continued talking, "and then I redid all my skills so now I've got this." Cosi hefted his war hammer Inbrunst and spun it around a couple times. "So yeah... other then that I've been going on lots of quests with Mars and Shield. They're some higher level players. Shield's a front line tank actually. so yeah.. That's what I've been up to." Cosi smiled and rested his war hammer on his shoulder. "Anyways I found a quest on this floor that I haven't done that has a pretty good sp reward. You want to come with?" As Cosi waited for Kat's answer he strapped his two handed hammer onto his back and then he began to check all of his gear. The fight wouldn't be a hard one but it didn't hurt to be prepared.

"Alright Popsicle, let's finish this cause now I'm kind of getting tired of you." But, like before, as Cosi readied his sword art and then charged the crystal golem, it lashed out with its right arm. Cosi tried to duck under the attack but he just managed to get hit full in the face by a rock hard crystal arm. Thankfully Cosi's momentum carried him into the golem and his glowing right fist connected with the mob's featureless face. Crystalline ice was broken off and shattered into light as the mob was thrown backwards from the force of the blow. The crystal golem was now a spider web of red cracks from all the times that Cosi had hit the mob. But the mob was still not dead. Cosi sighed and advanced. He was nearly at half health and his energy levels had dropped to about half as well. These fights are taxing. Thank goodness I only stumbled upon one of these guys.

Cosi lifted up his arm and wiped off his mouth. "Alright Popsicle. You've had your fun. Now its time for you to just roll over and die." Cosi breathed in and prepared to strike again. But apparently Popsicle the crystal golem's fun was not over because as Cosi was building up his sword art and advancing on the mob the golem lashed out with its spike crystalline arm slamming it directly into Cosi's unprotected side. Cosi's concentration was broken and with that went his sword art. Cosi was thrown off his feet and into the side of the ice cavern wall. Cosi turned his shoulder to absorb some of the impact but still it hurt like hell. Cosi staggered to his feet more shocked then actually hurt. He still wasn't even at half health but if he took a couple more hits he would be and still he needed to hit the crystal golem three more times. Cosi cracked his neck and turned back to the mob that was rushing towards him.

Cosi continued towards the staggered crystal golem. The blonde haired tank breathed in, activated his sword art, and the leaped forwards. Pale blue fists crashed into the golem's featureless face as Cosi hit it with his right and left in quick succession. The crystal golem stumbled back again before shaking its head and then charging at the player. As the mob swung its heavy arms Cosi tried to sidestep and dodge but he was just a hair too slow as one of the spiked arms connected with the blonde player's face. Again Cosi was forced backwards, stumbling on the heels of his feet but he managed to catch himself before he fell. Also this time his breath wasn't knocked out of him. Cosi grimaced and glanced at his health bar. Still in the green. Good. But Popsicle over there doesn't have too much life left in him. The mob was nearly at red. It should only take three- hopefully two if one was a good hit- to finish the crystal golem off.

The crystal Golem charged forwards- probably pushing its luck- And swung a geometric fist at the aspiring tank player. Cosi smirked and easily ducked under the strike while giving his own return attack. A sword art enhanced gauntlet slammed into the golem's exposed torso shattering crystal once again and even throwing the mob back a couple feet. The crystal golem staggered back, its arms wind-milling. Cosi grinned and then advanced. "Time to put you down Popsicle." The mob's health was in the yellow now which meant that it should only take three or four hits to kill the thing. Why waste time, Cosi thought to himself as he strode forward, pounding his gauntleted fists together. I've still got plenty of health and energy left. This mob is going down. Cosi couldn't help but chuckle a little bit as he moved towards the reeling golem. Maybe this game was pretty fun even when not meeting new people.

Cosi moved in close to the crystal golem hoping to strike quickly and then move out of reach before the golem could attack back. Cosi unleashed his Delayed Sword sword art, smashing his right fist into the mob's jewel like torso. Crystal splinted and cracked leaving the reflective surface marred with right pixelated cracks. Cosi grinned as he watched the golem's health bar drop but then he was hit. The crystal golem slammed its spiked arms into the blonde tank, expelling the air from his lungs and forcing him backwards. Cosi managed to stop himself from falling, but still he had do gasp for breath. Cosi coughed as oxygen finally entered his lungs and then he straightened up. That had been a big hit- Ladon had blocked some of the damage- but still the mob hit hard. Thankfully he wasn't anywhere close to half health. But a couple more of those hits and I will be. Let's kill this guy before then.

And the crystal golem did. The mob charged forward with surprising speed, throwing a straight left with its sharp, crystalline arms. Cosi had to throw himself backwards- falling to the ground-to avoid getting speared by the golems attack. Cosi quickly rolled to his feet and way from the crystal golem. Alright so be a little less cocky. You've gotten stronger but you're not invincible. These mobs can still hurt you and this guy looks stronger than even Avalanche somehow. Cosi looked at the golem's health bar. The mob had nearly double the health that the ice elemental had. "This fight is going to take a while." Cosi sighed as he breathed in and prepared another sword art. Seems like Glacial Cove does indeed have some strong mobs. Cosi crashed his gauntlets together and advanced on the crystal golem, being a little more cautious this time around. "Alright Popsicle. Round two buddy"

Cosi strode down another corridor of ice and grinned when he saw his first mob. It was a golem made of crystal or ice. Cosi couldn't tell which. It was all hard angles and geometric shapes with a featureless face. However as Cosi rounded the corner the clear head of the mob turned toward the blonde haired player. The golem then began to charge at the aspiring tank. Cosi smirked and rushed in towards it his fists already awash with pale blue light. Once the two were within striking distance, Cosi through a right hook which slammed into the golem's head and threw off his own attack. The mob stumbled to the side, shook its head, and then moved in for another strike. Cosi grinned, it was more of a mirthful smirk and raised his arms up, leaving himself open and trying to goad the mob on. "Come on Popsicle. Take your best shot."

Cosi continued on his way through the ice tunnels. Not heading in any particular path but just wandering as he searched. The aspiring tank was here to grind levels and loot so there was no hurry in finishing or getting anywhere. This was always the slowest parts of any role playing game- grinding for levels- but it was a necessary part and a part that Cosi was fairly good at since he was implacable and determined. No reason to slow down of stop when there's a goal in mind. Cosi turned a corner and found that the ice tunnel had begun to slope downwards and that there were deposits of earth and rock mixed in with the crystalline ice. Cosi was about to turn around and continue on a different path- he didn't want to end up in the darkness- when he saw something glint. The blonde player went to investigate and found that there was a deposit of ore in the rock and ice walls. Cosi pried one of the hunks of ore out of the wall with little effort, turned around, and continued through the caverns.

As Pinball listened to the NPC quest giver Cosi simply waited for the dark haired player's response, arms crossed. When Pinball got up to leave- apparently to take up the quest- Cosi quickly followed suit. The blonde haired tank sighed, accepted the quest, and quickly followed Pin outside. He then reached out and put a hand on Pin's shoulder, stopping or at least slowing the high level player. "Alright. So there's nothing to explain. That's fine but I'm coming along. I'm still a friend Pin. Nothing in this game matters. It only matters that as many of us get out of here an make it back to the real world." Cosi gave Pin a smile but his eyes were determined and unflinching. "Lead the way Pin. What quest are we going on?" Cosi then looked over to the girl player who was there as well. He didn't know her but she seemed to know Pin, "You coming as well?" 

@Kirbs

Cosi gave pinball a lopsided grin as the spear user agreed for Cosi to tag along, "Thanks Pinball." As soon as the front line player started moving Cosi was quick to follow and fell into step alongside Pinball. He's seems a little distracted, Cosi thought to himself as they walked, I wonder what he could be thinking of. Cosi then remembered that the last time they had parted ways hadn't been the best. Cosi was always willing to let bygones be bygones be bygones- forgive and forget- but not everyone was like that. I hope he still doesn't feel guilty for that. Cosi was broken from his reverie as Pinball asked him a question. "What am I doing here? Oh, well I was just doing some fishing with Shield. He's a front liner as well so I bet you know him. Kind of big guy, dark brown hair, doesn't use any weapons, one hundred percent tank. He's pretty cool. Yeah I've been doing a couple of quests with him lately." 

@Pinball

((O.O.C: I did heal and regen so look at this post for my current and correct health total.))

Cosi looked around him at the near pandemonium levels of chaos around him. People had died and now everyone was losing it. People were going berserk, people were teleporting out, others looked in abject horror. People still kept attacking but there was no sense of order or control. Domarus, the de facto leader, stared off into nothingness. The players were losing this fight mentally even if they were winning it physically. The demon was on its last vestiges of strength; whatever Miraak had become was literally burning up from within. Cosi looked to the rest of his party. The other tank, Black, was fine. Krysta had just healed up but still she, Vigilion, and Dustin were all past half health. Kyoto on the other hand was far into the red. Cosi kept his eyes on Miraak in case he came after the party with another AOE but he shouted back to his team, "Team stay calm. We can still do this. Heal up and focus on staying alive. Theboss is nearly dead. T2's can handle Miraak we need to make sure no one else dies. Kyoto if you need to tp out do so, no one will fault you. If not stay back and heal up. Right now we just need to outlast not win. Like I said the T2's can finish this guy off." Cosi then gritted his teeth and charged ahead. Might as well get some chip damage in.

Cosi patted his serpent's head lightly and smiled softly, "Yeah, yeah. I get it. Don't be pessimistic. and if that's not what you're saying and yu're just complaining about being cold then be quiet. You'll be fine Ladon." The emerald green snake slipped its head beneath the cloak again and promptly curled up tighter around Cosi's shoulders. Probably sleeping again. Cosi continued walking through the near crystalline caverns simply looking around. He was looking for anything really: monsters, treasure chests, or materials. Anything that will would be useful or that could yield a reward. Alas he didn’t see anything. I thought that Glacial Cove was supposed to be teaming with strong mobs. Cosi looked around again as he walked. Maybe I'm not in the actual Glacial Cove just yet. Any hidden spot would be like that especially in video games. You've got to make your way through the gauntlet before you get to the real reward. Cosi shrugged and continued walking.

This was Cosi's first time in Glacial Cove and it didn't disappoint. The ice caves that had formed where highly reflective almost like a hall of mirrors and even though it was a system of caves the clarity of the ice and the occasional holes in the ceiling let in plenty of light. "Good. I hate dark caves mostly because I can't see worth anything." Cosi said to himself as he walked along the ice tunnels. It seems like it would be impossible for these caves and tunnels to form but it is a game so I guess anything goes. Then again the real world is amazing enough that I don't doubt that there's something like this somewhere out there. Cosi sighed as he continued to walk along the tunnels. "I wonder if I will ever get back to the real world. I wonder if I will ever get to see Sara again." At Cosi's words Ladon poked his head out from beneath Cosi white cloak and flicked out its tongue.

As Cosi advanced on the partly submerged crustacean the mob suddenly lunged forwards and with both of its pincers it caught hold of the blonde haired player. Then the crab crushed down on the tank with its vice grip biting into flesh and bruising muscle. Ladon's tough scales were able to block some of the damage but still Cosi took quite a lot from the one attack. The tank gritted his teeth and then, still being held by the monstrous crab, raised his war hammer and slammed it down onto the mob's shell. Chitin cracked an the crab hissed in pain and anger but still it held onto the tank player. Cosi needed to get out of this thing's grip or it would be able to kill him a lot quicker. He needed to be mobile and fast, not pinned down. Besides that one attack did as much damage to me as I've done in both of my attacks.

Cosi sighed and walked towards the off kilter ice golem. For the fourth time he activated his Delayed Sword sword art, coating his fists in blue light, and then rushed the mob. Avalanche had just gotten its balance back when Cosi struck. The blonde haired tank sucker punched the ice elemental his gauntleted fist actually breaking through the layer of ice and sinking into the mob. Avalanche shuddered and the let out a final bellow as its icy body crumbled and cracked, and then shattered into a multitude of light particles. Cosi breathed out, watching his breath float on the cold air, and then waited. A couple seconds later his menu opened with a ding showing the rewards he had gotten from defeating Avalanche. It wasn't as much since he had already defeated the boss but still it was something. "Time to go hunting for some monsters now." Cosi said as he closed down his menu, left Avalanche's lair, and then headed deeper into the Glacial Cove.

Cosi leapt backwards to again avoid the large crustacean's grasping pincers and then rushed forwards bringing his war hammer to bear. Inbrunst glowed with green energy as Cosi swung the two handed weapon. The hammer head struck the crab squarely in its nasty face. The mob hissed, spittle foaming at its mouth, and it was forced backwards landing back in the shallows of the lake. "Take that you over sized piece of sea food!" Cosi shouted at the crab grinning but then he say how much damage his attack had done. The crab was still well into the green. "Oh come on." Cosi pouted then he set his jaw and hefted Inbrunst. mars isn't here so I'm going to have to take care of this crab myself.

Cosi led Mars to the mines on the twenty first floor but instead of going in the blonde haired player began feeling along the wall until he found the hidden entrance to Shield's fishing spot. They duo entered the spacious cavern and as Mars headed off to go hunt down mobs Cosi sat down by one of the large ponds in the cavern, pulled out his fishing pole and began fishing. Within a couple of seconds of casting out his line something bit onto Cosi's hook. He happily began to reel in his catch but once his catch neared the surface and the blonde player got a better look of it his smile crumbled. Cosi had some how hooked a large crab like creature that was making its way to the player. Cosi tossed aside the fishing pole just as the crab lashed out with one of its claws trying to snap the blonde tank in half. The crab climbed out of the lake and advanced angrily hissing. "Hey, hey! Sorry that I got a hook caught in your mouth but you're the one who bit it." Cosi quickly reached for his war hammer. apparently you can fish up monsters as well. I wonder why that hasn't happened before. Its probably cause Shield's so high level that they stay away when he's here.

Cosi nods and gives Pinball a grin, "Fair enough." Then at the mention of Pinball's friend who knew about quests Cosi continued, "Mind if I tag along with you and meet him? I've got some free time before I need to go meet up with Mars to do the quest. Plus I love meeting new people, especially in this case since it sounds like your friend is smart and knowledgeable about SAO. " Cosi thought as he waited on Pinball's answer. I know I'm not the greatest friends with Pinball but he seems like a nice- albeit a little awkward- guy so I bet any friend of his is pretty cool. Also Pin's really strong- maybe even stronger than Mars- so his friend's probably high leveled as well. The blonde haired player shrugged to himself then turned his attention back to Pinball and reiterated, "So.. Mind if I join you to see this friend?"
