[F1-SP] More materials, always more materials. <<EaL Repeat>>

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Waking up in the morning, Nikodemus made his way down to the forge to start work. Checking his materials, he sighed as he realized he was once more running low again. The hunt for materials was always an issue lately. He would occasionally come into some, then would end up using most of them for crafting. He was not happy at the lack of materials, and decided he needed to go out and gather some more. It was one of the few things he had began to dislike, and had toyed with the idea of hiring someone to do this work for him. After a time, nikodemus had woken up fully and prepared himself to go out and hunt for materials. Like always, he would have to go to the first floor and hunt. It wasn't a risk most of the time, but lately he was seeing less and less about down there. Shaking the thoughts from his head, he prepared his armor and weapon, and then left his shop, turning the small wooden plaque from <<Open>> to <<Closed. Be back soon>>. The shop door automatically locked when he did this, and no one would be able to enter without his permission. making his way to the teleport gate, Nikodemus called out his destination and then in a blink, found himself in the Town of Beginnings.

Having left the main gate of the Town of Beginnings, Nikodemus hiked for nearly 2 hours towards the Northeast. Reaching a small valley, he decided this area the best to search. Crouching low and scanning back and forth, Nikodemus sought anything that could be of use. The first thing few bits of things he found were mostly useless. Chunks of clay, Pieces of roots and tree bark, broken shards of class and cork stoppers, small bits of metal splinters from weapons that had been chipped or dulled. Nikodemus grumbled more and just continued moving along. After a few more minutes, his hands came over a small lump in the soil, and digging it free, he found it to be a material. Pocketing it, Nikodemus smiled and continued on.

Continuing his search, Nikodemus sighed and dug through some roots and tufts of tall grass. After a moment or two, he stood and began to pace around. Feeling a bit frustrated, Nikodemus planted his foot into a large grey rock and kicked it, sending it flying a couple feet. As he did, the sounds of a grunting squeal were heard, and he glanced at the place where the rock had landed. Just a few feet away, four large <<Dire Boar>>s were rooting in mud, and the large rock he had kicked landed on the head of one of them. Their eyes gleamed a yellowing color and they began charging in with a baleful gaze.

 

Hoping backwards a foot, Nikodemus quickly took the large chain from his belt and attached it to his axe's handle. Winding his arm back, Nikodemus then brought his hand forward and hurled the axe, the chain acting as a counter balance to the weapon to turn it into an improvised boomerang. As it spun rapidly, the blade glowed a sickly emerald and then struck each of the boars as they charged. With the hit, each boar burst into pixels instantly, dropping an item where they stood. After a moment, the axe returned and came back, landing in his outstretched palm neatly. With a smile, Nikodemus walked over and snatched the 4 materials up, pocketing them.

Having dispatched the 4 <Dire Boars>, Nikodemus made his way to where they had been rooting. Leaning down he began to examine the damp earth and bits of mud. With a sigh, he found nothing of interest there. Standing and moving a few feet down to where they had most likely been nesting, Nikodemus saw something hiding beneath some minor thatch. Leaning down he picked it up and saw it was a material. Pocketing it, he smiled and began to move on with a whistle.

Walking for a bit, Nikodemus kicked rocks and bits of root and bark about, lazily looking around. His mind was elsewhere, and he wanted to be home but had a job to do. With a grumble, he looked out across the grasslands. seeing some players fighting with boars, Nikodemus smiled and watched them strike back and forth in an effort to bring the beasts down. His icy blue eyes watched with little emotion in them, but a smile was still on his face. After a moment, Nikodemus looked away and continued down the grasslands. After a few more feet, Nikodemus kicked a rock and revealed a material beneath it. Smiling he knelt down and gathered it up, pocketing it.

Moving along, Nikodemus smiled and whistled a tune to himself. He was in a mood, but not to bad of one, nor the best one either. Just in the middle. His mind moved about of it's own and he normally would have to fight to grasp at thoughts, but he just let them float by and didn't focus much. With a smirk, he moved along further down the grasslands. After a moment, he came to a small stream and found it to be running along a river bed that must have been shrunk from lack of water. With a raised eyebrow he moved up the streams current and came to a spot where a set of large rocks and branches had been stacked into the water, creating a dam of sorts for all but the smallest trickles of water. The rest had begun to pour over and out into the grasslands, making a large mudpit. With a sigh, Nikodemus took his axe out and lifted it into the air. Bringing it down, he split the large branches and logs of wood, destabilizing the dam and breaking it. Water rushed past, sending debris of rocks and wood along with it, and the stream became a river. Seeing the glimmer of something just beneath the water, Nikodemus leaned down and grabbed it, pulling a small material from the river. Just across the bank and down from the mudpit, the squeals of boars could be heard. With a mischievous smile, Nikodemus leapt the river and landed safely across it, and began heading towards the mudpit.

Coming upon a group of four <Dire Boars> nesting in the large mudpit, Nikodemus smiled and decided to strike before they did. One more he attached the length of chain to his axe and tosses it like a makeshift boomerang. Watching it spin and whirl through the air, Nikodemus smiled at the dazzling shimmered display the blade and chain made as the sun hit them. This would distract any enemy if he ever used it on them. After a moment, the blade made contact with each boar one by one, slicing through them like paper. Each one burst into pixels and vanished in a heart beat. The Axe returned back to his outstretched hand as he stalked forward and gathered the materials. Smiling, he moved on to the next area.

continuing on, Nikodemus kept scanning the ground. Anything would do, but he had hope for good materials. Looking about he saw nothing but twigs, rocks, and so on. His pace kept moving and he smiled as he made his way across the grasslands. After a time he came to a small tree and sat down to rest for a time. Falling asleep for 30 minutes, Nikodemus felt rested and refreshed. After waking, he stood and begun heading further into the grasslands, arcing around. He came to a small spot and dug about for a time, but found nothing of use.

Moving along down the greasslands, Nikodemus whistled to himself and kept an eye out for anything. His feet occasionally kicked a stone or root aside, and he would stop and look at it, then continue on. His mind was still dancing with thoughts, but he ignored them mostly. After a time, he found himself near another nesting area for <Dire Boars> and began searching. At first he found nothing but rubbish and offal. His expectations had faded with the lack of anything nearby. Then, as he was about to stop, he noticed a glimmer in a tuft of grass. Collecting it, Nikodemus saw it was a material and pocketed it.

Coming to a small valley in the grasslands, Nikodemus went down and began to search it. He carefully moved from area to area. His eyes scanned back and forth and his fingers felt the soil and in tufts of grass. Nothing was found, and he sighed lightly. Moving on, Nikodemus went once more out further into the grasslands and tried his luck there, but kept failing. Finally deciding that boars would be a good option, Nikodemus made his way and found a group rooting about near a watering hole. sneaking up on them, he smiled and prepared to attack.

leaping from the brush, nikodemus startled the 4 <Dire Boar> nearby. As they all went into a frenzy, the charged at him and each struck, hitting him hard enough to knock the breath from him. the last managed to cut past his armors seams and slice his arm, which angered him. Taking this as a great offense, Nikodemus prepared his axe and chain, then hurled them at the running boars. As the blade flew at each of them, it struck their backsides and split them all 4 through, turning them to pixels. With a growl, Nikodemus rubbed his wounded arm and walked to the area where the beasts died. Gathering up the fallen materials, he moved onwards.

Moving along, Nikodemus grumbled about being hurt and then began to look about. He was not having any luck, so he decided to rest. Sitting down, he tried to think, but nothing came to him. After a time, he began to debate heading home for the night. Looking about, he shook his head and then resumed his march to look for items. He looked about, but still found nothing. His luck must have been turning, so he turned and began to return. For a time, he moved along and avoided Boar nests and such so that he could avoid battle.

Moving along the way he came, Nikodemus kept an eye out for anything he missed. While whistling a tune, he moved about and then came to a spot where he had passed. Deciding to check around, nikodemus leaned down and dug into the soil. For a moment there was nothing. Moving his fingers deeper, he then felt something brush against his hand. Grabbing it, he lifted it from the soil and cleaned it off. A small material sat in his hand, and he smiled, pocketing it.

Moving through the Grassland, Nikodemus smiled and made his way through it. He had felt the heft in his side pouch and was happy with it. He decided to stop and gather just abit more. Leaning down, he began to dig through the soil looking for more materials. He kept himself crouched low so that any enemy mobs would not see him. With a smile, he felt a material and lifted it from the soil, cleaning it off. Smiling, he pocketed it with the rest and once more began walking towards the Town of Beginnings whistling as he did.

Walking through the brush and tufts of grass, Nikodemus smiled and was happy that he was almost to the safezone and then was a minute from Nimbus. He whistled a light hearted tune as he moved, and scanned his eyes left and right with each steps. After a moment, he noticed something in the distance. Walking down towards where he saw the gleaming, Nikodemus leaned down and scooped up the item. It was a material, and he put it in his pouch before moving on. With a quick pace, Nikodemus moved on.

After a time, nikodemus found himself within a few hundred feet from the safezone. With a happy exclamation, Nikodemus kept moving closer and was happy to be so close. Allowing his pace to slow, nikodemus let his mind begin to grasp the thoughts he had avoided earlier in the day. He thought about the recent events of late, and also thought about the things he needed to do. Another thought crossed that he had orders and things to pay for, and some of these materials would be just that, payment. With a slight shrug, Nikodemus continued on. After a time he came up to the safezone, but before entering, he decided to try one last try for hunting some boar. Looking around, nikodemus saw a group and decided that he would deal with them.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

 

Seeing the 4 <Dire Boars> Nikodemus smiled and decided to attack them while they weren't looking. Preparing his axe and chain, he began to connect it together, but the noise caught the boars attention and they began to charge. With a sigh, Nikodemus realized he was going to be hit. Preparing for it, the Boars slammed into him and knocked him back. With a grunt, Nikodemus then turned and hurled his axe at the fleeing boars. Watching it hit them, they began to burst into pixels and drop materials. With a sigh, Nikodemus looked at his arm and smiled as his armor began to heal him. After a moment, he was healed enough and felt safe to begin moving. Walking to where the boars died, Nikodemus leaned down and gathered the mateirals and then turned and began walking towards the safe zone.

Moving towards the Safezone, Nikodemus made it within a couple minutes and passed through the barrier. With a smile, he moved along the the trail and then into the Town of Beginnings. After doing so, he stopped and sat down, relaxing a moment. He decided to count his materials, and set about to do so. While counting them, he tried to clean them each one by one and was happy. After nearly 30 minutes of cleaning and counting the items, he finished and put the items in the pouch and tied it off. He put it back on his belt and secured it there. Standing, Nikodemus went to the center of town and began to shop around the bazaar. Speaking with merchants and vendors, Nikodemus looked around, but did not buy anything.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

After spending time in the market, Nikodemus made his way through the main area and then headed to the teleport gate. Stopping short, Nikodemus looked around and then walked into the gate and shouted "Teleport: Nimbus!" With a flashing light, he was teleported to the 7th floor. Coming through, he stepped down and made his way through the streets, taking time and looking at the architecture. After a time, he smiled and moved along and explored the main area away from the street where his shop was. He whistled and kept moving, gazing along at everything. He loved this floor, and was happy to be back. After an hour, he made his way to his shop and entered.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Entering his shop, Nikodemus set about and began to put things away. He set materials in their place and organized them properly. The next thing he did was put his armor and weapon up, changing into a clean tunic and trousers. Lacing his leather boots up, he stretched about and was glad to be home. The next thing he did was we went and stoked the forge, adding kindling and waste scrap to burn and heat the coals. With a smile, he felt the heat and was glad to see it go quickly. After he had done this, he set his smithing items about. His then went and dug through his cold storage for some food and ate something so he did not have to stop forging. When he was done, he was prepared to get to work.
