Dominion 0 Posted January 22, 2017 #21 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Dominion listened to Alice's plan, and did not have any conflicts with it. "Sure, sounds good", Dominion said smiling. He leaned out past the entrance, just enough to check out the goblin. It was a small goblin, but did have a strong outwards appearance. To his knowledge, the Goblin did not know where they were, so Dominion had a couple seconds to inspect the environment. Dominion tried to activate his first aid ability, but for some reason or another, couldn't activate it. "It may take me some time to activate my healing ability, as this is the fist time I have ever tried. Don't count on my healing entirely, as I am not sure exactly when it will work", Dominion said while looking at his fist weapons. He put his hands to his side as Jazz moved out of the cover. She landed a solid strike to the mob, doing a fair amount of damage. Dominion thought for a second that he would have more time, but then figured that he must learn to activate the first aid ability quickly.

Alice 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author #22 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Jazz appeared to be pretty content with the hasty plan that Alice came up with, taking no time to refute it with little spent encouraging Dominion to try to heal her. While Alice was nearly safe in terms of health at the moment, it would at least allow Dominion to fully heal her prior to the two of them hopping into battle. She waited patiently while Jazz went to attack so that Dominion could heal her, but it seems that he just couldn't get the knack of it quite yet, "Oh, don't be too bothered by it. I'm nearly full health, though do feel free to heal me, Jazz, or yourself depending on who is taking the brunt of the damage. When you're ready, have at it." Alice would join Jazz in battle, patting Dominion on the shoulder in support, before attacking the goblin as well. Using one of her few options of sword arts, it would allow her to deal a nice chunk of damage and get the fight really started, "Nice job stunning it, Jazz. Keep it up."

Jazz 0 Posted January 23, 2017 #23 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) The goblin was showing signs of struggle, signifying that the gear she was lent was working incredibly well. During its down time, Alice was able to get a clean swing in and commended her on paralyzing it, "Thanks, use some more of those fancy attacks. It did more damage than what I can do." It was a downfall of Jazz's goals in this game, throwing away the opportunity of dealing damage in exchange for supporting others. In fact, it was pretty similar to the path of abilities that Dominion happened to be taking as well, "Come on, Dominion. Come get a few swings in if you'd like." He wouldn't be able to do much naturally, but his equipment did have a pretty gnarly enhancement that neither of the others had been informed of yet. Not waiting for him to join in, Jazz would strike once again, hoping to catch the goblin while he was now recovering from its paralysis.

Dominion 0 Posted January 23, 2017 #24 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Dominion heard Jazz invite him into combat. He gladly accepted the invitation by walking into the area of the Goblin. The Mob appeared to be paralyzed, as he did when he managed to make Critical Hits. Dominion approached the Mob, but took his time as Jazz made a clear attack. It was an impressive strike, seeming to slice through its armor. Dominion then lunged forward, using speed and agility to get closer. Even though he thought the mob might have gotten paralyzed, that didn't mean it was faking it. Dominion recalled a past combat adventure that almost went wrong because of assuming. Dominion struck out his palm at the Goblin, making a successful strike against the leather gauntlet holding a blade. He quickly moved back out of the reach of the Goblin, keeping his arms up defensively. "Thanks for the invite", Dominion smiled. He moved to stand right behind Alice as he prepared to activate the fist aid ability again.

Alice 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Author #25 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Alice was pretty amazed that Jazz had not only paralyzed the cave goblin once, but twice in a row. Luckily for the other two, that meant that they could get in a few free swings without any worry about danger. However, they needn't worry a bit considering the pure, raging anger the goblin had against Jazz. It had yet to swing either of its dual wielded swords and it looked as if he couldn't wait to give her a taste of it. Even Dominion, who couldn't do much more than chip at its health, was getting in on the fun as well rather than expending his time with healing, "Maybe we overestimated the fellow, seems about as harmless as the little ones we encountered on the way up here." While she was talking a big game, it would snap her back to reality if she was to get hit by one of the daggers that could instantly bring her down a quarter of her max health every time. In fact, she began to think about what it might be really capable of, forgetting to strike while she had the chance.

Jazz 0 Posted January 23, 2017 #26 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Making a little room for Dominion to dish out a little damage to the final enemy, she'd laugh at the thought of Dominion needing her permission to join in on the battle, "Come on, it's not like we're carrying around an anchor. Have a little fun, especially if it's not dangerous." Aincrad certainly had its fair share of danger on every corner and death in here was far easier to come across than in the real world, but everyone knew that somewhere inside them. While Jazz hadn't had the heartbreaking experience, a lot of players had close friends or acquaintances, even family, that had died due to this game. It was brutal, but if it got digging at player's minds, it would drive them to the point of insanity - something Jazz feared more than anything. This was her escape, "Well, then again, let's hope that he doesn't get too feisty. We've been pretty lucky so far." Maybe she shouldn't have spoken, however, as when she went to attack at the paralyzed monster, it would just barely have enough time to break free from its paralysis and dodge the rapier, "Like I said, pretty lucky... so far."

Dominion 0 Posted January 23, 2017 #27 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Dominion chose not to strike, but later would regret it. He thought about the situation, and how they had been given extra time, due to the Goblin being paralyzed. It would be convenient to take this chance to heal the party, and on the off chance that it doesn't happen it won't penalize the group. He heard Jazz say "it's not like we're carrying around an anchor". Dominion was puzzled. But... we aren't carrying around an anchor? What? Dominion just smiled and acted as though he understood. Dominion was behind Alice, looking at his handwraps. The black indention of identical spirit monkeys were barely visible on the gold plating in the dim light. He concentrated the best he could to activate his first aid, and at first the hand wraps began to glow a dim golden hue. But when Dominion noticed, he lost focus and the hue went away. "I think I figured out how to activate my first aid ability, but I will need more time to focus." Dominion looked up and over Alice's shoulder at the mob, which was standing nearly defensless. Wow, the pefect chance to attack was wasted. Luckily I was right about not getting penalized for this rash move.

Alice 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Author #28 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) While Alice had missed her opportunity to attack for no good reason, it looked as if the goblin was finally getting ready to fight. Having just barely avoided Jazz's attack, it retreated to a safe distance to avoid yet another paralysis infliction. In the meantime, Dominion had began to work on his first aid ability, trying his best to figure out how it worked in his next attempt to use it on Alice. He mentioned something about needing time and, for now, they had all the time in the world to take it down, "Take your time, Dominion. Between you and Jazz's healing, I feel more than safe." Besides, with Jazz taking the heat from the goblin, she didn't have to focus on avoiding the goblin attacks herself, "Jazz, if you could, do try to paralyze it again." Trying to create an opening for her follow up attack, Alice would find her sword falling short of the monster's quick movements.

Jazz 0 Posted January 24, 2017 #29 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Having missed, she felt as if the only reason they were able to do so much damage so far was due to her catching it off guard. Had she not rushed out and paralyzed it in the first place, who knows how much more difficult this would have been. Not only did she miss, but so did Alice! As for Dominion, he returned his focus to learning how to activate his first aid ability, something that even Jazz had used very sparingly so far. Knowing that it was on the move now, things could get a bit hairy and she made sure to keep herself in front of the other two players as she lunged for yet another attack, "I'm trying Alice, no promises..." She wasn't frustrated with her suggestion, but it wasn't something that she had complete control over, unfortunately.

Dominion 0 Posted January 24, 2017 #30 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Dominion shut his eyes and focused his spirit. He breathed silently and meditated while standing. He extended his right arm out and touched Alice's shoulder. His eyes opened suddenly, as he gazed at the golden hue generated from his golden plated hand wraps. Alice's health bar jumped up to full in only a second. Dominion lost his focus and moved to the right. He smiled and said, "Finally, looks as though it worked". He had given up his chance to attack, but he had succeeded at using his first aid ability. Now I just need to figure out how to make that consistent. Dominion lifted his arms back up in a defensive position. Dominion heard Jazz speak. He understood what it felt like to be relied upon, and for luck not to go your way. Dominion spoke as he moved to stand beside Jazz. "Well, the first aid finally activated... I don't think its easy to activate without buffs though." Dominion shrugged his shoulders and stretched his arms for another (hopeful) barrage of attacks.

Alice 0 Posted January 26, 2017 Author #31 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Even though Alice had failed to attack the goblin, at least Jazz was able to get a clean hit in, even if it didn't paralyze the monster. While the goblin had yet to attack, it certainly did look like it was getting more aggressive now that it knew the paralysis wasn't a guaranteed effect. In the meantime, Dominion would attempt to heal Alice yet again and, to Alice's surprise, would actually be able to activate it this time around. It was pretty calming to see the health bar she had get topped off until she returned to full health, before swiveling her head to the man, "Thanks for the heal, I'm sure as you train it more and get better gear, it'll become easier." Returning her focus back to the monster at hand, she would prepare to charge forwards when it put its gaze strictly on Jazz, leaving her in its blind spot. Timing it just right, she lunged her sword directly into the goblin's side causing it to recoil in pain. It wouldn't try to attack the group just yet, still uncertain of what they truly could do.

Jazz 0 Posted January 30, 2017 #32 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Admittedly, this fight did appear as if it wasn't going to be much of a challenge, but more so a fight of endurance as they had to whittle down the tanky goblin's HP bar. While it had nearly hit the halfway mark, they already spent quite a bit of time just to manage that feat. Alice was the one doing the majority of the damage, while Jazz and Dominion went in for whatever miniscule pot shots they could. Hoping that she would be able to stun the creature once again, Jazz would prepare to strike while Dominion focused on healing Alice's wounds back to normal. Unfortunately, to her dismay, she would find herself falling flat on her face as she tripped over a stubborn rock that failed to yield to her right of way. While she hadn't said it out loud, she couldn't help but think, "That was so embarrassing... Please don't say anything about it..."

Dominion 0 Posted January 30, 2017 #33 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Dominion had managed to heal Alice, so he could now deliver attacks at will. Dominion was standing beside Jazz, his arms were spread slightly apart while his legs were positioned in a wide stance. He had one arm clenched in a fist in front of his body, while extending the other to the right side. Dominion moved forward suddenly, , and successfully landed a punch directly into the gut of the Goblin. He then moved to the left side, stepping back and giving himself some room from combat. He couldn't tell if Jazz intended to stay in her position or not. It wasn't like he could gain Aggro so late in the battle, especially if he were to land a critical hit. Dominion didn't lower his gaze for a second, well, until he saw Jazz laying on the ground. "What on earth...?" Dominion moved past the goblin, passing an attack with his superior agility. He extended his arm for Jazz to grab and get back up. Alice: 60/60 HP - 4/6 Energy - 3 Hate Jazz: 99/100 HP - 10/10 Energy - 5 Hate Dominion: 300/300 HP - 30/30 Energy - 2 Hate [75949] BD: 8 - Hit!
