"I won't be needing this, maybe you can find some better use for it?" Penelo says, handing over the Lantern

True-light Lantern[Trinket] ~ (1) ACC, (1) LD+, Negates Darkness

She watched as the efforts of the Tier one players swiftly brought an end to the boss that fought them. She sighed, returnign her weapon into her inventory as well as her lantern. She looked at her rewards, a good amount of skill points and the opportunity to forgo skill points for more items. Sighing, she declined that and looked back to the people in front of her, trying to remember their faces. They had a lot of potential, more potential than her by far. She walked away from the event, moving through an opening from the burning vines and out of the tent. 'Looks like my job here is already done. I have still got a lot to improve on before I can ever even consider helping out anywhere but here' she thought to herself. She assumed that Jonathan would be able to take care of himself and doubted he would notice her leaving. "Back to the first floor with me!" she said, putting her smile back on her face and walking out of the event.

No Action Taken!

Penelo watched as the players charged forward, quite bravely despite being a bunch of tier one players who hadn't seen a boss fight yet. "Hooray!" she would try to sound cheerfully. Her job was to ensure that nobody actually died. If they did, she had failed her job! The scarecrow made its move, but didn't exactly do anything. "Heh" she would say confused. "Oh no... its not actually gonna do anything..." she would say sadly. The weight of uselessness fell onto her hand, making her feel down. "Why do I keep joining these events when nobody actually needs to be saved" she asked herself. 

She would point with a pouty face at @NIGHT and say, "You're supposed to get hit so I can heal you. That hard to understand! I don't want to sit here and waste my time okay?!" sighing, she would sit in the back, lifting her lantern higher, pushing away the spooky fog and enhancing her party. 'How long am I gonna sit here and do absolutely nothing?' 

Her eyes would widen as the purple haired girl asked where she ran off to in the Rain event. "I-I" she would stutter. She did not want to admit that she had been dumb enough had to get washed away by the waves after getting pushed back. A large wave had come from the tier three event. Luckily for her, the boss began to speak again and they were instantly partied up in their teams. "Okay, lets go" She blinked. There was nothing for her to do. She could not deal damage, so there was purpose in her attacking. She remained in the back watching as the horde of tier one players surged forwards toward the boss without hesitation. She lifted her lantern high, a dim blue light shining onto each of her teammates slightly buffing their accuracy. They would find everything in their vision slightly brighter, allowing them to see the darker sports of the battle area. 'Even if i can't deal damage I can still help in some way!' She refused to be useless. A flurry of flames shot forward, a several players burn effects activated. She had to admit, it was kind of sad being the one not to contribute to anything.

Penelo's eyes would open wide as she watched a ton of vines began to cover everything, backing her up to a specific side of the tent with a few other players. "Oh hey. Thats not cool at all" she would say with distaste as she looked at the scarecrow beginning to move. Quickly moving through her inventory, she would equip her new armor, Jack's Embrace, a tight leather armor that let off a wispy flame form her body. She would also light her antern, sticking it onto her side. She held her spear, pointing it at the boss. There was absolutely nothing she could do with it, but maybe it would keep the monster away. She would be the healer, an essential unit to the team. Or at least she hoped. She spotted a white haired girl that was trapped with her inside of the vines. "Hey you! If you can damage that thing, I can keep you alive!" She munched a corndog that she got from the voucher really quick. "Your Accuracy is boosted just for being with me!" she said with a smile. 

Bought Obnoxious Corn Dog with Voucher!

After escaping the zombies, she would make her way towards the tent, bringing her bingo card to the NPC guy. Before she got it to him, she heard yelling to find her brother obviously not happy about something. 'Is it a glitch? Is he supposed to be trapped in here for something?' Frowning, she would continue her mission, bringing the bingo card to Jack. "Hello! Could I please get a Halloween Sticker? Thanks!" Jack took the card, allowing it to smolder in his hands. When the smoke cleared she was left with a sticker. Smiling, she would take the item and walk to the entrance of the tent where her brother sat. "Here! I got this for you! Since you got me the lantern at christmas, I figured this could pay back for it!" She handed him the sticker. It wouldn't help her much, but it may be just what he needed. She sat in front of him, hopefully he would be in a better mood. Maybe killing all of those zombies would have been some form of stress releif and hopefully not the opposite.

She took off as fast as she could, leaving a trail of dust behind her. Her speed this time managed to win out and get her away. After she knew that the zombies were no longer following her, she would stop, panting in exhaustion. she did it. In her own way, she had managed to get all of the achievements to get her brother a sticker. Maybe the item would make him happier, and just for a minute she could see his smile. He had been down in the dumps about what he did and his guild for a while. In fact, she had never actually seen him genuinely happy. He had always been angry, reclusive, sad, or so focused on something that he had forgot to smile ever. "You know, this wasn't too bad. It was a pretty simple event and pretty easy to get the achievements. At least, if you didn't want to actually kill the zombies."

Her feet took off as fast it it could possibly take her. The zombies trailed behind, but she wasn't seeming to actually get away. It would take her a bit more, she would come to a stop, letting them catch up real quick along with her breath. Taking a quick glance around, she would look for something to get them stuck on so she could get away. "Alright zombies. I am going to leave, and you are going to stay. We are done here, I don't want to play anymore. I am ready to leave regardless of whether you are not. Its called consent, no means no" She hooked her lantern to her belt, walking back slowly trying to get as much leading ground as she possibly could before taking off. If she got a little bit of a headstart, it might just be what she needed to actually get all the way away.

Used Spider Cider ~ +15 HP ~ 10 Remaining

Grabbing the last potion she would need, she brought it up to her lips and began to drink from it. It restored her health and gave her the last achievement point that she needed to get the sticker. Smiling to herself she would look to the zombies. "Good work, but I don't need you anymore. You can go away now" The zombis moaned, showing no sign of leaving. Hopefully the chase would not last too long. If it got too dangerous, she would put back on her actual armor before trying to run. Two of the zombies came close, scratching her. The red marks were gashes into her shoulders and neck and she quickly backed away. She would have to begin her run back towards the tent so that she could cash in the item and give it to her brother. Then, her debt to him would be paid. She didn't need a dumb sticker, it wouldn't help her out anyway and there was no way she could kill monsters to get the trinket that would help her with her healing. Oh well.

Grabbing a spider cider, she would bring the drink to her lips and let the liquid come down her throat. It restored her health back to the maximum and completed the consumable achievement. Now that is what she was talking about. With minimal effort, she was able to an entire achievement. There was ways around fighting, and she would continue to do them.The zombies began to swarm around her, moaning as they stepped forward. Her face remained unchanged, even as they got into attack distance. This is what was supposed to happen. She was going to let it happen. If one of them hit her she could be done and begin the run away process. One of them hit her. Just one. That was all she needed though. She would heal, and then run away. It shouldn't be too hard. As long as she kept far enough away they would not be able to hit her.

Could they please just hit her? Kayaba, stop wasting everyones time and finger ability and just let the monsters hit her and be done with it. She stood there, waiting for the zombies to come forward, but they were slow and wasted a lot of time moaning and wailing in their own demented way. It took them a while to make their way towards her, but after they did they actually managed to hit her. They scratched her avatar, plummeting it to below the halfway point. "Finally you monsters learned how to hit something even if it is standing right in front of you. Can you do it again, one more time? I'm afraid I need just one more hit" She was so close, she already had two of the achievements, now she just needed the last one and she would finally be able to pay Jonathan back for the lantern that he had gotten for her during the christmas event. A Halloween Sticker should be worth the 10,000 col it took for the group buffing item. "Okay guys, just one more hit. Can you do that for me?"

Chugging down another healing potions, her stats would raise back up to maximum, making it so that the zombies had no chance of somehow killing her by getting extremely lucky and somehow pulling out four criticals out of nowhere. She stood still, waiting for the zombies to come closer. They just needed to hit her a few more times. 5 In fact. With the way it was going, that was going to take a while. If they hadn't all stopped, she might have been close already but no. The zombies were more than aggravating. They missed constantly, making her just have to stand there longer and drink more and more potions. In fact, she asn't going to take a potion because it was so pointless. They didn't even hurt her enough to be able to kill her with all four criticals. She needed to heal damage that was dealt, not sit there and dilly dally, wasting precious time.

She did not have to pull out a potion this time, since the moronic mobs did not even hit her. Their AI's must have been so low as to not be able to fight. She guessed they were scaled to her level which was exceedingly low, but it didn't mean that they had to be useless against her. That was uncalled for. This time, she actually managed to be hit by half of the opponents, the other half seeming to just be far too dumb to actually hit her. Another 35 points of damage would bring her perfectly to the halfway point of her journey. Only a bit left, or if she got luck and they all hit her, she would be done immediately. That would be nice and save a bunch of time, but the chances were very doubtful. 'Alright guys, just keep up the hitting and we should be done here really soon" Than she had to manage to run away. Though with the somache ache from the floss.... Oops

Used Spider Cider ~ +40 HP ~ 12 Remaining

While she could, she grabbed a vial of the spider cider and opened the vial, chugging the contents before pocketing the empty vial. Most of the consumable achievement was now completed. Two more were required, she would probably end up drinking 3 or 4 more. The zombies moaned as they got close and she braced herself to take more hits. She closed her eyes, sucking in a gasp of breath as she prepared for the attack. Nothing came. Opening one of her eyes, she would find the zombies tusseling with eachother, as if fighting who would be the one to eat her. "Ummm excuse me? Could you guys please attack me, I am trying to do soemthing here but you guys aren't exactly helping" The zombies would look confused, trying to figure out what she was saying. 'They are a bit annoying. If only they had a bit of accuracy' She would stand there, waiting for them to attack.

Penelo walked out with a plan in mind. She wore normal clothes, wishing for the enemies to hit her for full damage and bring her health to a low point. She should only have to take 10 hits total, so a few rounds unless she was really lucky and managed to somehow not get hit. Pulling out her spear, she would swing it around along with her lantern to try and gather the attention of those zombies nearby. A few crawled form the ground and began to attack her immediately. She stood there, making no actions and let them scramble after her. Only half of them actually hit her, but the damage tore through her health. Almost halfway gone for the two that actually managed to hit her. She would begin to take her potions next round. If they only hit her occasionally, everything would be all right, even if it was a bit slow. Already, she had taken almost a third of the damage that she needed to take and heal.

STATS

Zombie (Tier 1 Event)
HP: 50
MIT: 10
DMG: 15 on a hit, 20 on a 9 or 10.
SPECIAL: If the Zombie would be killed by a weapon or defensive ability, and the LD is equal to or higher than 15, the Zombie is instead reduced to 1HP. This ability is ignored if the attack that reduced it 0 was a critical hit or the weapon/armor used has the holy or holy blessing enhancement.

Leaving Jack the Event NPC behind, she would watch her brother leave going forward with a couple of players. So he did have friends huh? More friends than her it seemed. She didn't really have any, even though she used to ave a ton of them. She had come to find that most of them had been killed by her Ex-Husband. It was irritating to know that he had given herself up for him. He was such a jerk, even if he used to be sweet. He had just let his Greed, Pride, and Wrath out of control. He wanted too much and thought that he was the one that was born to lead. He also was willing to slash everything down in front of him. She opened her inventory. There was a trick to finishing the first achievement really quickly. Just start chugging the consumables. Well, she had food. Had she brought Luz along, they would have been able devour these Fairy Floss and have room for more. She sat down, chomping on the Floss. Afterwards, the Floss were no longer, but she had been left with a stomache ache. 

10 Fairy Floss Used

Following her brother silently, they would appear on the first floor. He had spoken to her in a while but when she received a message about an event she should participate in she didn't hesitate to meet up with him. Hopefully, there wasn't too much fighting. She was only a healer. She could also take a little bit of damage, but she would rather not have to play tank since she couldn't heal herself. Her spear rested on her back and her lantern swung at her side. Find somebody to help you out since you can't fight. I'm getting this event done and then getting out of here" was all her brother had to say. He would walk off, leaving her alone to fend for herself. "What to do now? I didn't think he would just abandon me like that" Walking forward to the "Ringmaster" she would pay the initial fee and pay 650 col to purchase healing items. She would look at the rewards. She wanted that support item.

She watched as the enemies zoned in on her, three of them starting after her, probably in vengeance for the friend she didn't even manage to hit. Twice she was thrusted in her heart with a spear. Being sent into the ground, she would roll once before pushing herself up. She had taken a good amount of damage from the monsters, ut she didn't think they were supposed to attack her. Looking at her friends Health bars, there was only one other who had taken damage. She had a decision to make. Have a chance of doing one damage, or healing one point of health. Sighing at her lack of being useful, she rushed over to Dustin and activated her <<First Aid Skill>> healing the bit of HP he had lost. After that, she would try to move to the back of the party to avoid taking more damage. "Doing great guys!" she would yell to them in support. They had killed a few, so some of the fighters were stronger than the others.

Entering the only seeming to be open in the entire world of Aincrad, merchant shop. Hidden would take a second to let her eyes wander the shop before moving forward to see the man at the counter. He kind of looked... Edgy. However, he was a merchant and the shop was called the Cloaks Corner. Moving forward, she would smile to the shopkeeper. "Hello, I would like to get something appraised please!" Opening her inventory, she would produce a crate that would sit on the counter. She frowned as she noticed she couldn't get a trinket out of the crate. Pondering her options, she chose a weapon, deciding that if she could get one of the good enhancements, she could have some good DoT damage or status effects. She would send the Merchant the col and hand him the Two-Handed Assault Spear.

Wanting to Identify T2 THAS ~ Demonic

Finally reaching the grove of trees within the city, she would find the NPC to be an artisan, hard at work painting. However, it seemed another player had reached the NPC before she had. This woman would hand her the parcel, the same one that rested in her own hand. Awkward. She watched as the girl got her next instructions and was drinking a potion, preparing to head her way out. Penelo would move to the NPC herself and would hand the parcel to the NPC. As the item was removed from her own inventory, the NPC would smile and thank her for the project. "If you could fetch me a jewel from a nearby cave, it would help me be able to finish this project!" The NPC would pull a gold band out of the parcel and it would become clear that she intended to fashion a ring. "Okay, I can go get it for you" Penelo would reply to the woman.

After speaking with the NPC she would turn, moving after the previous girl who had spoken to the NPC. The leather suited woman with a spear on her back would find her quickly and call out to her. "Wait! I noticed that you were going to be doing the same quest as me. Would you like to do it together? Two heads are better than one" Penelo would then flash the girl her brightest smile and await an answer.

@Kityuisa

The blond player would begin making her way to the grove of trees that this Hannah NPC was located in. She wondered if she would manage to find decent help this time around. If there was more combat ahead, she would have to acquire help from another player. The game would expect a player to have some form of damage by this time. A bleed enhancement was most likely more helpful than what she was bringing to the table at this point. Looking at her Zodiac Spear, she would think for a second. Should she try increasing her weapon skill for the sake of the game? She hadn't played many games, but what she did know was that every single other player had invested into the damage category. She was either playing the game entirely wrong, or was going to discover what every other player failed to notice. Maybe this games systems were to complicated for her to understand and she would have to get Itzal or Jon to explain them to her in better detail.

RP Completed!

400 Col
Safeguard Potion for the next quest.

As she exited the door, the notification for a completed quest would appear, displaying her quest rewards. She was mostly excited about the experience rewards which would ensure a level up for her. The faster she leveled up, the faster she would be useful for helping out her friends. She had wondered what had happened to Jun, her previous partner from the first quest. He was helpful and allowed for her to finish her quest... with a little more ease. It was just nice to have someone at your side for a bit. She had hardly spent any time in this game alone. Closing out the rewards from the quest, another notification would appear, indicating the start of another quest. Objective: Speak with Hannah. Examining the map for a second, she would find her out to be located in a grove of trees within the starting city. It must have been in a section that she hadn't been in, because she had never heard of this grove of trees. She also hadn't spent much time on the 1st floor. She used to mostly hang out on the ninth and twelfth floors.

Turning to exit the shop, the Blacksmith would call her attention before she could get that far. "I would appreciate if you would do one more thing for me lass. I got a small gift for an artisan named Hannah in this town. If you could deliver it to her for me on your way out, I would be more than appreciative. I've got many more projects that have to get done today. I'll even through in this potion I have had for a while. something tells me you are going to need it in the long run." Offering him a smile, Penelo would answer, "I'll take it for you. I am in a generous mood today!" Taking the package and potion, she would turn towards the door one final time, leaving with the sound of hammering behind her. Blacksmithing was an interesting profession, and if you were any good at it, you could find yourself making some good items. She figured once she handed the package to this Hanna girl she would find herself embarking on yet another quest, meaning even more experience points or her. That would ensure she would level quickly/

Pushing open the door to the NPC Blacksmith shop, she would be greeted once again by the gruff man that ran the place. "I see you made it back in one piece lassy. Turns out you are worth more than the salt I gave you credit for" Walking forward, she would pull the tusks out of her inventory and place them upon the counter. "Three Boar Pup tusks, just like you asked. Now, you said that you would make it worth my while. What did you have in mind?" The Blacksmith would nod his head and pull out a spear and a set of light armor. "Take your pick, they aren't that good of quality, but they can be a good start to any starter adventurer like yourself" Looking over the items and their stats, she would frown. She already had equipment better than these. She should have guessed as much for a starter quest. "You can keep them. I've already got better" The Blacksmith would nod and remove the items from the counter, putting them back onto the racks from which he retrieved them from.

She continued her walk, ending back at the edge of town after a few minutes of walking. Moving through the city, she would look around, finding a few players walking here and there. After about Floor Ten, the first floor had become more deserted, the people that were there had no intentions of moving. Of course, for a while she had been doing the same thing. She had been perfectly content with sitting on the side lines, waiting for Chaos and the group to come back. There was a much larger group originally, and at first it was a group of friends. Chaos didn't use to crave the power that he did, it started when he got his Demonic Sword from a boss on the ninth floor. It was a quiet event boss that the guild had managed to keep to themselves. After the weapon made his stats and abilities raise, he began to want even more power, doing anything to get it. After he got himself into pristine condition, he wished to surround himself with those of the same ability and become an unstoppable force. By that point, she had begun to fear him.
