Kekoa 0 Posted June 4, 2016 Author #21 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Kekoa flinched sideways when the rock flew passed his head and in to the <<Variant>>. He turned his head to see Nuiko with a smug smile on his face. The <<Variant>> slithered past him, completely ignoring him as an opponent and instead attacking the rock-thrower. Kekoa smiled and clenched a fist when Nikodemus landed the solid hit, but gasped when he was knocked back by the <<Variant>>. He wanted to do something to help but the beast's reported mitigation was higher than any amount of damage he could deal out. He felt like a sitting duck, but he still stood and cheered his partner on. "Nuiko! You got this! You can't die for some brat like me!" Kekoa teased, giggling slightly. "Take this shithead down!" Kekoa shouted. The Variant growled and hissed and began to shift to attack again.

Nikodemus_Blackwood 1 Posted June 4, 2016 #22 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Looking at the limb, Nikodemus grunted and reached for it. Grabbing it, he yanked it out and then stepped back. With the limb free, the <<Nepent Variant>> once more struck at him, the limb slamming into his armor. The attacks were weak this time, and bounced harmlessly from his armor. The final thump of the limb against his chestplate activated his <Thorns> effect and sent a pulse of damage through the beast, tearing it to shreds. As the <<Nepent Variant>> burst into pixels, a small glowing object floated down and landed at Nikodemus feet. Grabbing it, he walked over to Chapel and held it out to him. "Here you go. The <Ovule> is yours. We can finish this quest now."

Kekoa 0 Posted June 4, 2016 Author #23 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 <<Ovule>> added to inventory !! The <<Nepent Variant>> made a fatal mistake in attacking so weakly against the strong warrior. It appeared to have no affect on Nuiko, and immediately sent a backlash of powerful <<thorns>> through it's now pixelating body. It shattered in to thousands of pieces and Kekoa felt a wave of relief fall over his body. "No.. way.." He muttered. He turned to Nikodemus, wide-eyed and smiling even wider. "No way! We did it! Oh my gosh we did it, Nuiko!" He jumped up and down to exaggerate his excitement. He watched the shiny <<Ovule>> ingredient replace the spot where the monster once stood. Nuiko picked it up and brought it over to Kekoa, handing it to him as promised. Nuiko accepted with a nod, swiping down his menu to accept the item from him. Finally, this quest was coming to a close. Kekoa wondered just how difficult quests must be if this simple one caused him such emotional stress. He truly was thankful for people like Nuiko. He blushed. "I suppose... you don't need to come back to the village with me if you don't want to... Only thing left now is to turn the Ovule in..." He teetered back and forth on his heels as he waited for a response. He wouldn't admit that he wanted the man to at least escort him back to town, y'know, now that Kekoa is such a strong warrior. "Thank you so much for all your help. I would have surely been killed on this quest without someone-- erm-- as strong as you around.." Kekoa blushed again. He didn't realize how easily flustered he could become. Spoiler OOC: if you don't want to make another post, i can just end it here and infer that nuiko and kekoa parted ways there. just pm me and i'll edit this post to finish the quest.

Nikodemus_Blackwood 1 Posted June 5, 2016 #24 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looking at the young man before him, Nikodemus tilted his head. A smile had spread across his face beneath the helmet. "I'll be heading back that way anyway. might as well we go together. Strength in numbers and all. And, your welcome. I am always happy to lend a helping hand." Turning, Nikodemus made his way towards the village. His armor would need a bit of repairing once he got back to his shop and had access to his forge. Prodding the new puncture mark in his chestplate, he grumbled lightly. As they arrived, Nikodemus turned to Chapel and shook his hand. "If you ever need anything, weapons, armor, or a tank. Come find me. I'm on floor 7, just outside Nimbus with a few other shops. I'll always be more than happy to go and do some questing." With that, Nikodemus bid farewell and headed off to the teleport gate. Link to post Share on other sites
Kekoa 0 Posted June 5, 2016 Author #25 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Kekoa blushed at hearing Nuiko would walk back with him. They traveled back to the Town of Beginnings in mostly silence, the young brunette cracking a joke here and there about the game. Something about Nuiko made him feel comfortable; he was like a big brother, perhaps (at least, that's what Kekoa tried to convince himself). When they got to the village, the shorter male turned to the taller one and began to speak. However, he stopped when he noticed the scratches and dents in the man's armor. He pouted. "Sorry about your armor, Nuiko.." he mumbled, folding his hands behind his back. It seemed the man didn't mind, though, as he began speaking of meeting again. Kekoa lit up. He humbly accepted the kind offerings with a nod and bow, and then Nuiko grabbed his hand in a firm handshake and Kekoa's entire face lit on fire. He was red as a tomato, and pulled back his hand rather sharply to cover his cheeks. "Ah!-- yes-- Thank you very much, Nuiko.." He mumbled quickly. With another smile and polite farewell, Nuiko was gone. Kekoa frowned when he was gone. His entire face fell. He hoped he would see the man again, but he didn't want it to be under the circumstances. He wanted to meet him again as equals. He didn't want to have to rely on the man again. Kekoa was going to become strong like he had boasted. After the post-quest depression had worn off, he made his way for the village in the south side of the floor to give up the ingredient. He revealed the <<Ovule>> for the desperate villager NPC, and he eagerly accepted it, bestowing upon him the quest rewards immediately. "Thank you!" Kekoa finished as he waved the NPC goodbye. Unfortunately enough, among the rewards fro the mission was a sword. Considering he wasn't a sword user, it wasn't the most useful reward, but perhaps he could trade it in somewhere for a spear of the same caliber. He shrugged. Wait!!-- A sudden rush of remembrance dawned on Kekoa. Didn't Nikodemus mention about being a blacksmith? He said his shop is on the seventh floor! Kekoa squealed out loud, doing a little dance in his place. He suddenly had a reason to visit Nuiko. He could trade in the sword for a spear he could actually use. He was excited, but he had to stop himself. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he re-opened them, he decided that he wouldn't bother Nuiko again for a while. He'll visit him when he gets the time. Spoiler << QUEST COMPLETED !! >> @Kekoa +1 Anneal Blade !! +2 SP !! +200 Col !! @Nikodemus_Blackwood +1 SP !! +200 Col !!
