Shirien 0 Posted May 16, 2016 #1 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Shirien was resting around in his shop's seat while looking over his stat screen with a smile glued to his face at what he was seeing. He was happy to see the number ten next to his level since to him it was a matter of great joy that he had surpassed the single digits in power! With a certain level of pride filling him he decided it was time for him to try and kill one of the field bosses he had heard about in the past to test his new power. Pushing himself out of the seat he had been sitting in he set his personal goal for the day and started to prepare for a trip out and into the second floor to begin his hunt for the Wasp Queen that lived and died many many times on that floor. It took him a few hours of travel but he did eventually find himself in the middle of the second floor's wilderness where no safe zone was present to keep himself or anyone else from dying. Due to this being true he drew his dagger and took a deep breath while listening for the sound of buzzing if it was present. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Shirien 0 Posted May 17, 2016 Author #2 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 With the hooded player tilting his head slightly and keeping his quiet breathing he focused for any sound around him before letting out a disappointed sigh. Raising his left hand to scratch his head through his hood he decides he'll have to keep looking to find the wasp matriarch he wanted to defeat. With his next action decided he steps forward while keeping his senses focused primarily on his surroundings. Getting jumped by a surprise monster wouldn't be fun. He was confident that at this point in time he could handle these floors with his armor alone, but he wasn't particularly eager to stress-test that kind of thing and end up a corpse in the real world and vanish from this one altogether. Not getting hit at all was preferred, but he wasn't about to rely on that. He made sure that a backup plan was in place so he wouldn't need to worry if he didn't dodge in time.

Shirien 0 Posted May 23, 2016 Author #3 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 With his eyes glancing around with no lack of wariness and curiosity he explored deeper into the wilderness and away from civilization in search of his mark. He squinted his eyes as the sight of a large wasp caught his attention in the distance. He couldn't tell if it was the queen so he got closer and closer before confirming to himself it wasn't large enough. It was far larger than a regular wasp, but it wasn't even close to being 'miniboss' worthy. It was nothing but a trash mob so he tried to avoid getting within aggro range and instead circled around and past it. If nothing else the presence of similar monsters proved to him he was heading in the right direction. He wasn't sure how to gauge his current strength so he tried to conserve his energy for if he needed it for some unforeseen reason. Quote Report Link to post Share on other sites
Shirien 0 Posted May 23, 2016 Author #4 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Having reflected on his inexperience for a moment longer before he heard buzzing. Angry buzzing from the sound of it, and it was coming towards him. It was far louder than the soft buzzing he heard from the smaller wasp a moment ago. He raised his dagger with a forward grip while waiting for what was coming to hurry up and come. A moment later Shirien gasped as he saw a huge wasp that was slightly larger than him from pointed stinger to its antenna. Without hesitation Shirien knew what it was but had to focus on the pointed natural spear that was being thrusted at him! He dodged to the side while holding his blade up like a shield, watching sparks fly as the blade slightly deflected the attack and granted him an opening he didn't want to waste. Taking a deep breath he stabs four times rapidly into the insect, watching its hitpoints drop dramatically and give Shirien a burst of pride from his growth! Before he let it go to his head however he leaped away from the wasp before it could counter while starting to circle around warily so he was a moving target.

Shirien 0 Posted May 23, 2016 Author #5 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) He did not regret backing off as a moment later the wasp had lashed out with its pincers towards him and then charged where he was escaping to. Shirien made a last ditch move and jumped to the side and rolled back onto his legs while ready to defend a follow up attack only for the wasp to entrap itself on a nearby tree. The sharp mandibles dug into the wood and seemed unwilling to come free. Seeing an opportunity Shirien doesn't hesitate and charges forward with his dagger ready to be swung. With four slices to the insect matriarch's back its wings shattered apart and left the creature grounded as he smiled proudly, backing away to evade a stinger swipe while distancing himself. He couldn't help but sigh in slight disappointment when the creature was hanging on by the barest amount of its healthbar. Just a feather touch and Shirien would be the victor!
