[PP-F1] Legends? Nah... (Part 2) [Invited Party]

[Bell 0]

Bell was ecstatic, yet nervous. He had never even fought a boar, and hear he was, in a Field Boss raid party. Most of the players outranked Bell by a large margin, but one player, Max, was also level 2. They had set out to fight their first mobs, and luck brought many experienced players to them to help aid them in their quest of leveling up. the group of about 9 players walked into the grassy fields of the first floor, taking in the sights as they searched for something to fight. They all itched to fight, and Bell in particular couldn't help but to fiddle with his knife. He let One of the other players lead the way, as this was his first time here, and he didn't know where to find the Boss they were looking for.

[Shizuka 0]

Indeed, she thought it would be fun to join the rest of the newbies and some experienced players on their search for a tougher boss and she was sure that it wouldn't be any trouble for someone like Calrex to one-shot. She was purely tagging along for the experience and to get some rewards at the end of it all. Well, at least, that was what she was trying to tell herself. These days, she had found herself constantly struggling and conflicting among the insides of herself. Ever since that fateful event, Shizuka had turned from a cheerful girl into one that was stuck in a void of stress and depression. Of course, she wanted not this condition but it would not run away from her. Hence, to prevent herself from embarrassing herself in the front of those around her, Shizuka had become a loner that still wanted to become strong and strong so she can participate in the front lines and fight the field bosses with those she loved but couldn't touch with the pale, small fingers that she so possesses. How depressing this was?!

Hence, as she embarked on this journey with the others, she allowed herself to trail in the back of the party in order to avoid any conversation. By going with the party, Shizuka had managed to be able to obtain skill and experience and by avoiding contact as well. It was a gain-gain. Even though, Shizuka was in a state as she is currently, she had no desire to leave someone to die and if anyone needs healing, she will be there for them. And thus, Shizuka followed silently and gracefully.

[Calrex 0]

Following behind Calrex gave a nod as he held Teayre by the hand, walking alongside her as they followed the medium-sized party that had been formed just a few minutes ago. Adjusting the Grand Blade  on the back of his hip he gave a calming breath. Normally he would have already activated his <<Reveal>> skill to begin scanning for any potential ambushes, but with the new patch that released the skill mods a trio of his abilities were refunded. However, as a result he had gotten a few mods that helped to make up for it.

"With Daeron here that makes two strong tanks in the group. From what I can tell the both of us have grandmastered heavy armor, meaning that any enemies that come our way will prove to not be a challenge. Plus with Teayre are here, we're covered on damage. Shizuka has healing covered...so I guess this is going to be a simple walk to a field boss then."

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

Davros considered following the group, but it just wasnt his style. Free SP or no, he was pretty much a loner and didnt want to join a crowd of people for a reason he wasnt even sure of himself. He didnt want to waste time he could be spending ranking up his skils. For all he knew this would turn out to be a fruitless venture. He turned on his heel, starting to walk off in the opposite direction. He had things to do and bosses to beat, real, certain ways to get skill points. Ways that couldnt possibly end in his death if he had a higher level player with him.

[Daeron 1]

(Ssendom isn't joining this thread)

Daeron followed behind, but unlike everyone else his steps were heavy and loud as he had extremely heavy armor on. Checking around at the party he saw several people. Several players that needed to be protected.  He was walking by the pink haired girl, Shizuka, the healer as far as he recalled she claimed to be. "Nervous?" He asked Bell, based on the way he was asking.

He stretched his hands into the sky and reached his arm around Shizuka's shoulder, behind her neck. "Why aren't you with the front lines yet? You look fairly capable of doing work at the level you're at." He asked her, curious. Off behind the group Daeron watched some stranger split from the group, 

[Shizuka 0]

Shizuka gasped in frustration as the blonde man decided to just grasp her shoulder and ask her a question. She had originally not wanted to converse with any of the members, but it seemed that she would have to do so as well now that the man had made her choice a difficult task to accomplish. With a sigh, Shizuka replied without looking up at the man. "I will be during the next boss fight," She replied simply and coldly but she made sure to have a hint of warmth in their as she realized the blonde man was a player killer and frustrating him would definitely not be a good choice. In fact, just being this close to an orange player was enough to make Shizuka sweat like a dog. With yet another sigh, Shizuka crawled underneath the arm of the man before separating their distances. All of this done without revealing her long, pink hair and without revealing her facial features. "I'd like some personal space, sir." Shizuka explained, feeling the need to do so as the man might have been offended by her decision to move away from his powerful, grasping arm.

[Bell 0]

Bell felt bad for the girl in the hood, Shizuka was her name? "Hey Daeron, no disrespect at all, but maybe we should leave her alone, she may need some personal space." Bell didn't think Daeron would get mad or anything, but you never knew. Bell was nervous. He wished that he was at least a little better equipped, but at least he had the sense to bring what he did have. Bell had heard them talking about the next boss fight. He wondered when that would be, but there was no chance of him getting that powerful, and getting to the front lines that fast. He kept his pace and stayed in line next to Max, keeping an eye on the path ahead.

[Maximum 0]

Max would pull ahead of the group, eager to slay his first monster, and a big smile on his face to say that he was. 'Virtual, or not.. this is going to be spectacular!' He'd spot a boar, and would look around to see if there would be anymore. Sadly, there were not. He shrugged, motioning Bell to come with him to take it down. "We should be able to take this one down ourselves. Bell, come on." Max would grip his blade, his stomach full of butterflies. He looks to Bell, a grin with a mix of eagerness, and uneasy pressure would flow across his face. "Remember, I'll go in for a large swipe first, then I'll create an opening for you to deal more damage, you ready? Let's go!" Max would charge at the Boar, his two handed blade resting on his shoulder as he charged. The boar, would turn to see the charging, spreading it's feet a bit wider to brace itself for impact. A few steps before he comes in contact with the boar, Max would take an extra long stride, lowering himself and dropping his arms low to the ground. He'd grunt as he swung up, his blade coming into contact with the boar head on, launching it upwards and sending it into the air. "Now!" He'd shout, looking back to Bell as he hops to the side to leave the boar open for an attack.

[Bell 0]

Bell quickly unsheathed his knife and sprinted to the boar. It's squealing showed how angry it was. The boar came down, hitting the ground running, and avoided Bell's attack. Even though Bell was swift on his feet, this time he wasn't swift enough. Bell cursed as his attack missed the boar, not even coming close to hitting it. He stood up and regained his composure, and didn't let his failed attack discourage him. "Max he's gonna attack us now! Get ready!"

'You've go to be ready next time Bell!' The Boar would charge towards Max, screeching as it did. "Come at me!" Max would roar, the smile on his face growing with each moment. The Boar would lunge at Max, jaws opening as it did, 'Perfect!' Max would make a small hop as he sliced downwards, sending the Boar to the ground  'Stupid Boar! How are you not dead?!' Max would hop back, to give Bell room for another attack. "Now!"

 

|BOAR| HP: 1/4 --> Roll 41551

[Bell 0]

Bell charged with full force at the squealing boar. He could feel the eyes of the group watching him as he leaped up in the air. Time seemed to slow way down, and Bell could feel himself grow stronger. He brought the knife down on the boar with one swift motion, as the edge of the sharp blade pierced through the boars head, instantly killing it. Bell watched with glee as the mob shattered into a thousand shards of glass. He could see Max dancing around, yelling happily. He grinned and sheathed his knife, and went to give Max a pat on the back.

Max would be cheering, as hopping around and hollering, "On to the next one! We'll clear the fields of these things!" Max would take off, even though the battle had just ended, still eager to fight more. "Let's try and get the next one perfect Bell!" He'd practically be sprinting now, looking everywhere for another boar to fight. 'Where are the boars? It's the first floor! They should be everywhere!'

As the group began performing their various tasks, a couple of them engaging various enemies within the field zones, Calrex gave a calming breath before looking over as his wife, "Let's see if we can find some stronger creatures. Stand back."

Drawing the Grand Blade he raised his sword high as his armor began to radiate a glowing light blue aura. At the same time his sword began to shine with the same glow. Activating his <<Howl>> skill he pierced the earth in front of him, releasing the energy as the monstrous roar emanated from his armor. The sound wave shot outwards from his avatar before he heard the roar from nearby as two large boars charged at him.

Giving a smirk he sidestepped both, being unable to move as swift as he once could due to his Stonewall skill mod, "Alright, anyone want to take a shot at these guys?"

OC: Sorry for long post I was replying to everything in the thread. 
Feedback for you Max, Really well laid out just try to make it a touch clearer with the roll ID. Will pm if you like :)

IC:

Her eyes raised as she watched Ssendom head off. Keeping quiet she felt a tugging at her hand she looked her husband in the eye, a smile quickly fading as she followed him. Her eyes flickered to Shizuka she remembered and her smile returned if only briefly. Giving the bluenette’s hand a gentle squeeze she released his grip nodding at him. Returning the left hand to her katana, her thumb pressing on the tsuba her right index finger twitching slightly by her side. The lingering gaze that she had on the pink haired girl caused Teayre to clench her fist as she kept quiet seemingly aloof. Her brow seemed to furrow and relax regularly as if some internal battle was going on, stopping for a second the crimson haired girl half turned as she saw the blonde man… Daeron? Step and place his arm around her shaking her head Teayre walked away noticing another player starting to walk off in a different direction.

Quickly following after him she reaches out placing a hand on Davros’ shoulder. “Did you want to come along for the boss?” She queries her left thumb turning white from the pressure she was placing on the tsuba. “There won’t be any issues if you want to stay, if you want to shoot off to that’s fine.” Offering the boy a smile she turns around, “If you ever need a hand hit me up okay?” Her right hand was a blur as she sent Davros a friend request.

Her eyes caught a look of discomfort come from Shizuka as Daeron placed her arm around her. “Really Daeron, wouldn’t Mari get jealous?” She says walking back over as Bell stepped in. Raising her hand to her mouth Teayre stifles a laugh. Her eyes catch both Max and Bell then move forwards taking on a couple of boars between them.

“You did well guys.” She grinned at both of them, “Shame about no loot dropping I blame him to be honest.” Jerking her thumb toward the bluenette Teayre steps backwards as he calls over to her. Nodding her left hand rotates slightly around the scabbard, “You two ready for some tougher ones? We’ll whittle them down a bit so you guys can get a hand of group combat. Plus I’ve been meaning to try out some techniques. If things get grim don’t hesitate to back the hell out judging from those two. They’ll easily one shot you guys.”

Teayre’s right hand comes over to her weapon and she crouches low shooting forwards her charge skill activating as her blade joins her hair and coat in colour. A streak of blood red flies past Calrex and slashes into one of the boars before her blade spins around her hands and she renews her attack on it before stopping. “I’ll take this one out so there’s less to worry about. No point fighting more than we have to.”

Max had thought correctly, those boars where not to be played with. "Don't worry, I can haul some serious speed! I'll be out of here faster than you can think to tell me!" And with that, he'd dash full speed at the boar that had been attacked by Teayre, "This is a great way to learn how far I have to go!" Max would leap into the air, trying to bring his blade down on top of the massive boar. The boar would hop to the side easily, dodging the attack, Max would almost hit the ground face first, but would roll when he hit the floor. His blade would already be sheathed as he got up and started to bolt off after failing the attack. 'Dang that thing is fast!' It didn't even need to look at him to dodge, showing the clear difference in power. Max would turn as he saw that the boar wasn't even looking at him. 'That thing knows it doesn't even need to worry about me.. It could probably look at me and I'd be dead!' Max's face would become flushed in frustration and slight fear, him being annoyed that the AI wouldn't even care to fight him.

Bell's eyes grew wide at the sight of the two giant boars that came storming at Calrex, seemingly out of nowhere. Teayre jumped in to make the first move, and Bell was awestruck at how quick, and strong she was. 'The boar will attack Calrex before any of us, so I may as well give it a try.' Bell thought. He smiled nervously as Max's attack failed miserably, sending him to the ground with a thud. Bell was determined to help fight the bosses though, and he wanted to be able to say he helped defeat a field boss. Bell's eyes shone with determination as he pulled his dagger from its sheath. He sprinted furiously at the raging boar, leaping up and swiping his dagger down at the boar's midsection, leaving a glowing red mark where the knife had cut into it's virtual flesh. His attack had obviously done some damage, but not enough to make the boar acknowledge Bell. He leaped back, landing next to max.

Shizuka was confident that she would be able to heal anyone that needed healing during this turn. However, there was no one to heal and hence, Shizuka was forced to spend a turn in an attempt to deal damage. As a support, her physical attacks were only basic and if she did land an attack, it would only be a small, unnoticeable attacks that were similar to the useless attacks of the previous two newbie players. She remembered when she was like so... when she was so low leveled. Indeed, it was hard times and times were even harder now as she would have to attack. With an unsure face, Shizuka rose her sword to try and stun the bosses.

She could feel everyone's eyes on her and she felt her face burn under that pink cloak of hers which covered the entirety of her face. With a sigh, she charged, holding the sword out in front of her and finally, as she approached the Steel Hide Boar, she swung with that delightful posture only for her attack to be dodged. She had genuinely not expected herself to land the hit with the stupid stats that she had attacking-wise. And of course, her theory was proven right. She minded not... she was a support player after all and was not required to land any of the hits... That was the job of the DPS, who did very well to land her attack and deal plenty of damage.

[Daeron 1]

Daeron watched as Calrex initiated the fight by using Howl. Since Daeron is the primary tank, he'd have the highest hate, meaning Calrex can focus on doing more damage rather than tanking. Smashing his blade to his shield, he used his own Howl skill. Without much time to react, Daeron watched as the two boars turned their attention to him. Preparing for the worst type of attack, he stood with his shield up and a firm look in his orange, fiery eyes. "Come at me!", he shouted towards the boars, slamming his weapon to his shield once more.
 

Boar 1 [ID: 42046] [Mob: 5] - Miss

Boar 2 [ID: 42047] [Mob: 5] - Miss

 

With the attention drawn towards Daeron, the boars charged towards him, their tusks pointed at his shield. At a fast pace, the boars must not have noticed each other charging at the same target, because as Daeron was braced, the boars had collided side by side with each other, getting their tusks locked in with each other. Now fighting over trying to unlock their tusks, Daeron watched them. "Attack while they are occupied!" he said, standing ready in case they continued to fight or if they went to charge at him once more.

As Daeron took the highest aggro Calrex gave a nod as he locked his eyes on the second of the two oversized boars. Rushing forward he activated his <<Charge>> skill while simultaneously using his <<Meteor Break>> Sword Art. The Grand Blade lit up with a shining golden glow as he got into striking range, opening his barrage with a fierce tackle, knocking the boar off balance.

While the boar teetered to its side he unleashed the rapid barrage of slashes, leaving a series of golden slashes across the creature's underbelly before he charged once again, knocking the boar further off balance before he performed a fierce stab, kicking the creature off of his sword before a calming breath, leaping back. At this point he saw that the boars were looking between him and the golden-armored player, since both seemed to have an equal amount of Hate on the creatures.

Teayre watched as the rest of her part attacked the boars chipping away at their health. Slowly one by one the group rolled back round to her nodding at Calrex she moves. The murmasa glowing a bright purple as it flicks across the weaker boar in three short motions, left, right, left. On the third pass the boars health bar trickled down to zero and the red headed girl sheathed her weapon.
