Dagger

Thinking on the fact of the fourth floor the weather comes to mind as he checks his clothing that while heavier then just plain old light armor is still of the more light variety and not suited for the colder climates especially on top of that the idea of losing his hat would be rather annoying to try and reclaim if the winds got particularly strong if a snowstorm occurred. I think i'll see myself to floor thread now that i take some time to think about it. I might investigate the quest known as the traveler at some point to see if it would truly help deal with the temperatures that ring true within this game. That way i can at least stand the more out there floors like i heard that nine was some place that is mostly volcanoes that just sounds downright miserable to be there. He says calmly at the thought of having to deal with being right next to floating magma, or what could possibly even be volcanoes that explode at certain points to shower the players in volcanic falling rocks all around them in some bizarre death trap.

With the fall of the queen having taken place he just grins to himself as the fight is over as he makes his way towards his partner in these quests with a grin upon his face as the quest notifies him that it has been completed for both of them as the drop enters into their inventory. Gazing at the item he sees that it is a damage buff as he just nods his head accepting that as he then turns his head to look towards alec giving a simple and quick nod towards the man with a grin upon his face. That is another quest down my good sir, and with that i think hat means it is time to move up towards floor four to brave the frozen tundra to see if a creature called avalanche can die next. He says towards the tank in a calm tone of voice telling him the plan of what he at least has in mind for something to do as he mentally checks this floor off for not having anything.

Glancing around the spot that he is sitting down upon he just nods his head seeing that their is rather nothing around him which is to be assumed mostly it's not like anything would just magically appear around him because he had willed it to do so. Which just leaves him watching the end of the fight between the rather large wasp and alec which is more so just a one sided joke for the most part as the tank is basically unscathed from all of his fighting leaving himself just to do the only thing reasonable. Getting up to his feet he starts to make his way towards alec being rather careful about not getting caught in any crosshairs of the fight by just walking slowly and taking his time. Moving carefully to allow him to jump about of the way as swiftly as possible if it comes down to needing to do so if the creature targets him.

#118505 LD:5+6=11

Looking over through the area around himself he finds no more chests, or no more mats to add to his collection as he just nods his head accepting that as his reality as he goes to just sit down and take a small rest as he hears the latest shatter of another mob dying by the large tank player as he watches him. The player seemingly still ready to fight more mobs, and from the fact his quest still says there is something to do here that the mob that he is supposed to fight hasn't been killed yet, or hasn't spawned yet either. Nodding his head at this fate he waits patiently watching as their are still large amounts of mobs floating about in the area meaning that their still needs to be time to end them all one by one or as groups. 'Maybe that is how it is, or maybe the queen is mixed in with the lower weaker ones around it. Or mayb they're all the same strength and you need to kill the one by getting lucky.'

#118502 LD:5+6=11 no dice

Getting down onto one knee he gets to work opening up the chest with some skilled work as he opens up the item in question and then grins at seeing the loot as that should catch him up on mats quite well, and on top of that some unidentified gear for him to get identified at his shop if he can get a bit lucky with what these are he might just put them out to sell for people to buy. Pocketing the loot he makes a mental note to send Alec the money that way he can go do what needs to be done for himself. With that he gets up from the ground with a satisfied smile upon his face since his luck seems to be with him today in a rather successful manner as he takes that and runs with it as much as he can for finding more materials for him to profit off of. 'Having Alec around is rather a good thing. Though quests will only get harder as we progress. I wonder how many he can do before we will need somebody else.'

#118495 LD:17

300 col, 8 T1 mats, Perfect T1 light armor, 2 rare T1 consumables

hearing no response back he turns his head to once more get to searching through the general area looking for something that would be able to help add to his collection of things he is finding around him. However, as luck would ordain for him he manages to pull out a treasure chest from the confines of the earthen ground below him as the bronze colored chest is pulled out with rather significant difficulty he just looks at the thing with a grin upon his face.  Well then seems luck is with me this fine day. He chuckles to himself as he opens up his inventory after having slide his finger along the air and selected the inventory option as he begins to search for one of the various keys he has from his shop so that he can get things going for himself. After all no need to get into a fight with a mimic that would just ruin his day.

#118492 LD:9+6=15 found a treasure chest

@Alec

Hearing a voice call out towards him he glances towards alec as he once more collects another sample of this honey like material as he stores it within his inventory and just grins towards the taller man. Well i think it is going rather well i seem to be on a train really of being able to find some materials of my own. Who knows by the end i might be able to buy a mountain of items out of these materials alone. he calls out jokingly towards his companion with a smile across his face. Watching the battle with some interest of seeing the man block some attacks and then trying to give out soem of his own with varying levels of effectiveness. Though in the end he does have to give the tank some credit. he is taking no damage and yet dealing with the threat with practical ease. 'To fight without fighting seems to be their way of doing things.' he finds himself remarking to himself with a mild tone of interest in his thoughts.

Hearing his door open in quite awhile he looks up to spot the face of a man walk up towards him as he just smiles and tips his hat towards him and then chuckles when hearing the words that were said towards him. I think you don't know much about myself if you think this is a tall order my friend. No order is to tall for this merchant right here. These will be identified in just a moment. He says with a calm confidence as he gets to identifying the gear quickly going through each items as the potions reveal themselves to be health recovery and a feast level of mitigation. With a few accuracy and evasion snacks as well. Once done he just smiles towards the player. See wasn't difficult at all for this experienced merchant. He says jokingly towards the player.

Not far from his current look he finds another dose of honey as the persistent buzzing of the wasps ring out through the area as he glances towards the site of the tank player busting through the amount of wasps that make there way towards combating him as he just raises a eyebrow at that. 'I still don't get how people go from normal civilians to just fighters out in this world. Is it a sense of feeling uncomfortable in this world. A fight for what is on the outside waiting for them. Or have they just finally snapped and saw that fighting was the only out they can do with their lives now?' He wonders silently to himself as he then lets his fingers drift along the air to create the menu screen. his hand going to the inventory screen and hovering over a simple item. His hand not moving in uncertainty about doing so before clicking the item. Taking out his axe he swings it around slightly. The weight of the weapon foreign still to his hands even though he identified it. Got it. And yet. It weighs down his grip towards the ground as the weapon weighs like it should. The weapon forged in a fiendish design being put back into his inventory as he sighs softly before going to back to the one thing he is comfortable doing.

#118457 LD:18 another mat

Stepping around the fields giving the field of battle a large berth to where he will not have to get close to the fighting that is occurring between man and data. The business man continues his regular task of finding materials to claim as his so he can get things off the ground and rolling out towards the entirety of aincrad one material at a time for future investments and payments if he ever decides to buy actual gear or get things that aren't from his own unidentifieds. 'Which should be rare in and of itself depending if i can keep this kind of business going really' he thinks to himself with a small grin across his face as he continues to travel and then gets down low to the ground and picks up another mat and adds it to his inventory with a smile upon his face at the success of another few moments of his time.

#118426 LD:18 another mat found

Hearing the sounds of the battle occurring as the sound rings out across the fields of the forest he just nods his head knowing the song and dance by now of the invincible tank seemingly for these quests battling it out against the lower leveled mobs and thus getting him the exp as well from being in the same party. The sounds of the wasps dying ringing out through the clearing as he picks up some of the honey like product that is within the area as he stores it for himself into his inventory to maybe give this to a cook at some point to have them make something rather delectable as a treat. Though for now the battle rages as he looks towards the direction of the fight wondering why the game was that of a war made by the man known as kayaba. Was it just for the idea of kids being able to fully live out the dream o being warriors and fighters where lives mattered?

@Alec

When arriving towards the area  he sees it swarmed with wasps flying about covering this entire area in their numbers and once hearing what needs to be done he simply gives a tip of his hat towards the man. Good luck my friend i'll stick with what i do best while you do your area of expertise. He says in a kind and polite tone of voice as he then starts searching the area for mats and maybe if he can get a bit of luck on his side he can find a chest around the area as well while he is at it. Searching around the area he keeps rather low to the ground in search of something of use running his hand gently along the ground when doing so since while his sight may fail him perhaps his sense of touch will discover something of use. In the end though it has come up short for himself. I cannot for having my searching maxed to help me find these better. Maybe pick up gathering alongside that. Fishing? Hmm options. He says softly to himself.

#118366 LD:2+6=8

Gazing towards the man with a slightly raised eyebrow when hearing his words he just nods in understanding since he knows that while not everything is made for a series of exchanges between individuals on a surface level there is always something underneath. That is how he has viewed these things at the very least since even though his relationship with the tank in question is that of a mutual friendships as one calls it at the very need for him it is just a simple survival aspect for himself. he needs to get higher levels to become more useful but can't do so himself, and thus he hires on a man that can do that combat while he sticks to what he wants to do best. 'Speaking of that i should allow my wandering eye to see if everything is all good to go in this area.' he thinks to himself as he gazes around the grounds around the duo of players. When gazing around he finds nothing and just tips his hat ever so slightly at that before adjusting it back into position. I can understand your grounds mister Alec, but in the end somebody is always looking for something from another even if it is on a subconscious level. Even the simple idea of a friend could be considered tic for tac as you said. Companionship being something you can't trade but it is something that one can offer when nothing else is available to help another in times of need.

#118341 LD:6+6=12 no dice

@Alec

Well offering a service in exchange for a bit of protection and aid from some higher leveled players make sense to at least myself from a business deal perspective since there has to be some kind of equal exchange at some point for the goods and services being offered. Which for you is probably something akin to protection and strength in terms of the damage and aid these frontliners and other players can offer. It's a reasonable thing to pick up that blacksmithing skill for yourself to offer them something they cna't get themselves if none of them are blacksmiths. He says with a nod of his head as the duo of players manage to exit out of the main settlement and start to make their way through the forests as Dagger gestures for Alec to take the lead as soon as they had stepped out of the town. There is a wasp that needs to be found and killed so you may as well take the lead in this case. He says with a smile upon his face.

#117917 LD:19+6=25 1 mat found

He nods his head when hearing what Alec has to say as he continues to make his way forward through the main settlement as he thinks upon the words of what his partner is going for. Which is rather a good thing since there are a few blacksmtihs about, but no one particular one has managed to break free of being heard around Aincrad due to the highest blackmisth just having decent amount of prices for the lower tiered players. Well then if that is the case it'll be interesting to see how well such things get handled for other players for these quest changes and if anything it at least makes things interesting for yourself Alec since at least the interactions won't be exactly the same then. He says with a smile upon his face as he then thinks on the fact that somebody had managed to create another guild that was a frontliner at that. Who is this frontliner if you don't mind me asking Alec? I am not really up to date with those people and their doings.

Really the quests seemingly change based upon the players that do them? He asks in a confused and seemingly fascinated tone of voice as he looks towards the larger man while gesturing with his hand to follow him as he makes his way towards the the direction that will lead out of the town. Since at the very least he himself can lead the direction to out of the town before having Alec himself lead the way towards the quest's destination of where the wasp swarms should be spawning upon this floor. Since in the end he wants to make sure to stay as far away enough from when that fight breaks out to continue searching for his materials as he always is. So then Alec what do you usually do when you're not doing any of these quests with myself, or when you're off doing quests by yourself? Do you have any little hobbies or such things to pass the time? He asks curiously for some idle conversation and if anything it does serve as a nice way to get to know a bit more about the man that he said would be his traveling companion for these quests.

Looking to a rather new face that entered his shop he tips the hat towards the player with a smile upon his face and says his usual greeting towards the player. Good evening sir welcome to the cloak's corner i am your merchant Dagger what can i do for you today? He says in a polite and kind tone of voice having taken his hat off and put it against his chest with a bow when saying that. Afterwards he looks towards what got handed towards him and then takes the katana inspecting the blade and seeing that it is sharp. Sharp enough to cut into mobs, or is it sharp enough to cut through the air without issue. Glancing to the last part he let his finger run gently along the blade seeing their is some kind of toxin within the blade that can inflict some kind of status ailment towards the opposition. With a nod and a smile he sets the blade down as he then goes towards the consumables and finds that one is a alchemic salve that can be eaten to cure a status ailment in advance, and the other two being potions that can heal one's health. Not a bad lot of gear that you ended up getting good sir seems the fate were with you today.

Continuing with his questing upon the floor after his completion of the venomous wargs that were looking upon this floor and with the rather nicely timed aid of his body guard and the rather useful player killer that sweeped up the mobs that had been guarding the cargo. Now it is time to do the rather well known field boss that lurked upon this floor that was located somewhere the exact location being out of his reach as he glances towards the larger man at his side and tips his hat ever so slightly. Next on my list of things to accomplish this fine day Alec is to slay a queen wasp creature that supposedly lurks upon this floor if you would be so kind to maybe walk along with myself to see if we can deal with this creature. Supposedly doing this field boss gives quite a bit of experience from slaying it and being the in the same party of the one who slays the creature in question. he says towards the man at his side with a smile upon his face when mentioning the quest since it is the only next logical step in his quest to gain levels.

Stats

Nodding his head when hearing the things from the man's own adventures within this world he finds himself rather interested that he had already mingled with some frontlienrs from what he had said, and to add on top of it knows some rather interesting people that could be good to get to know at some point in the future. Afterall every customer he can get is needed since at the end of the day he can utilize things to make this business as stable for himself as possible, and then just enjoy the cash flow that gets sent towards him at the slow but steady pace of people buying and selling things. When arriving towards the tavern he goes towards the quest giver and turns in the quest in question with a grin upon his face as he gets the experience points to level up once more as he then looks towards Alec and nods his head. Well in the end the goal is to find some people that can be our damage so it is just a matter of taking our time to hopefully find the perfect match.

Entering into the town he makes his way towards the tavern glad that his companion at least agrees strength on their side is needed it is just a game of finding somebody that they could get to work alongside them for such things and not have to worry about any side things that could chain them down. Such as the sad need to skirt and be careful of the company they keep since one slip up could mean the death of both of them if they aren't careful about how they approach some people that might have certain red flags about them. So then Alec if we are to get some damage on our side the only question is who we can go to for that kind of things since i don't believe we have many options at the moment as far as i know, but that is more so the limiting factor of players that i personally know and have the ability to get into contact with. Their are the customers that go into my shop though that i could maybe ask if they would like to join us on a quest or two.

He nods his head when hearing those words from the man at his side since the logic is their, but in terms of having some strength behind him when going into some fights he was rather willing to deal with any negative attitude that was brought upon with it. 'Though it is entirely possible some player killers could've made a game out of hunting him down as well and getting mixed in with that isn't something that i am wanting to spend some time or risk my life on in any manner. Bounty hunters and police i can deal with since they won't kill me the player killers i don't want to deal with.' He thinks calmly to himself while making his way forward towards the settlement as it comes into view before the two players as the only thing left for the quest is to turn it in towards the quest giver and then figure out what to do next for himself and where he'll take himself in terms of quests that he could do.

Making his way towards the next settlement at a rather relaxed pace as the player killer makes his own path within Aincrad since he can't enter the main settlement himself. Glancing towards the large man he just grins to himself at having a decent bodyguard like the man and thinks of trying to find a way to get a unique for him that could get him some defensive armor qualities to help the man in future quests. Thinking ahead now that he has done all the level locked quests come the questioning of trying to think of what quest he should do next. The obvious answer is what ever get him the most experience so he can become a better scout which means becoming a better merchant from having more goods to sell towards players. The only thing to figure out is what quests even have that kind of reward for him to benefit from. SO then Alec what did you think of our little PKer?
