Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 #1 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) An early begins with a bleeding blue light cast through a windowpane. Raidou snaps awake and slides up, pivoting and dangling off the bed to which he had not even taken the time to fully enter. Rubbing his face with his hands, Raidou removes the particles that had taken the corner of his eyes. To the nightstand Raidou peels up a pair of glasses from atop it, grabbing the metal frame and adjusting it onto his face. Downstairs as he descends the case, finding a meal in his inventory and consuming it without a second to enjoy such. With a passing glance through the vault, it remained heavy but for how long. Raidou would not falter in the continued bulk of what he had, for fear of running out before the ends were met. Pulling the cloth robe from the back of the seat he frequently spent hours drawing on parchment, Raidou heads out to floor 21 in haste to get the jump on the day.

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #2 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Making haste through the town of floor 21, avoiding all eye contact, Raidou races the time passing to the cavern that he has made use of time and time again. Entering into the yellow mist Raidou quickly covers his face and slides himself through the thin whole within the rocks. With a swift adjust to his frames and clothing, Raidou takes his robe from the back and lays it across the damp floor in front of a herb patch that always seemed to be placed where he left it. Kneeling on the fabric, Raidou sweeps his hand above the fibers. With little effort in the notion, the gather-able red content becomes clear. With a calmed gesture, each picked, being placed beside him creating a nice collection. Raidou picks up the ones that are gathering to his side and places each into his bag. Thinking that more could be collected he stays put and tries again. ID# 146120 results: Craft: 1, Loot: 6+[5/3/2]=16, Success! 2*T3 Materials Obtained!

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #3 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Hoping to continue on this patch before deeming it empty, Raidou moves his hand across once more. As expected there were another few that were not known from before. With a careful touch to each of his picking, Raidou places each to the side of him creating a good size collection as the herbs keep revealing themselves to him. Raidou picks a few that were less than nothing so he tosses those aside. Taking into hand others that were rich in color and seemed to be the texture that they were meant to be. Examining the quality of the plants to come into his grasp. Small nod as he precisely decides which fiber is useful for what he needed them for. After he can’t find any more to take from the green patch he gets to his feet and picks his robe from the ground, with a small swoosh through the air back around his neck. Picking up the small collection Raidou scans for another nod of something different ID# 146121 results: Craft: 5, Loot: 1+[5/3/2]=11, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #4 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) A flower-like crystalized form makes itself known with a glimmer beneath the dim lighting in the area. Getting a closer view of this material, it seems to be patterned with a rainbow against its exterior. The content itself was a bright purple color. After some closer observation of this object knowing that it was filled with grant attempts for a young musician, he begins to collect. Placing a few fingertips upon the pointed top, Raidou carefully does a rounding motion with this crystal to break it free from its holding. With a bit of time, it pops free from the rock that was holding such beauty. Doing this a few more times with the same persistence, Raidou manages to gather a few more for his small music maker. “I need to find just a couple more” in a small voice searching around for the same formation in a different location.

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #5 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Finding another alike on the opposite wall he makes his way toward it. This one seemed a bit smaller than the last and the crystals are less spread from one another. They do however gleam a multi-colored effect from the lighting around. At second glance the coloring was of dark blue. This was a normal color for this type of material from the many others that he had collected before now. Placing the tips of his fingers like before but softer for these were much more fragile in his opinion. Deciding at the last minute to use the back and forth method instead of the circling motion, he pops the recorder free with ease. Doing this a few more times to gather as much as he could. After some time of focus upon this fragile material, Raidou takes a better look at it, as he sees nothing more of value to him. He began searching for another source of different content.

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #6 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Raidou’s eyes fall upon a large rock on the side of the wall just feet from him. With a closer examination, it was filling with deep veins of red within the interior. Pulling out his sword, Raidou uses the weight of his blade against the rounded surface. Taking more blows than expected, Raidou eventually gets the holding to break apart. Minerals of both round and jagged edges fill the floor beneath his feet. Raidou crouches to sort through the content of which was relevant. Finding a few pieces with more than enough substance within, Raidou places them into his satchel and continues to dig through the loosened rubble. Finding a few more with value to them he sets them in his bag as well. Tossing the other place stones aside to make it clear which could be used. Placing each ore in his robes containment, Raidou decides to brush through a bit more before giving up on it. ID# 146124 results: Craft: 2, Loot: 4+[5/3/2]=14, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 4, 2020 Author #7 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 (edited) Continuing through the rubble and jagged stones Raidou manages to find just a few more that seemed relevant. With the red veins that spread through each edge, he grasped. Inspecting each piece to make sure it had enough flowing through it. The ones that did not he tossed to the sides with the others that deemed no value. Gathering a few more in view, Raidou gets to his feet, with a light press of his glasses back to his face. Raidhou takes a moment to figure out what he has gathered and what still needs to be obtained.”Gemstones for Kasumi” he speaks in almost a whisper. Raidou faces the cavern's interior with his back facing the wall and scans around for the very specific items he was now trying to locate in this dim light location. With little effort, for he knew what to look for, finds a small crevice in the wall ahead of him. ID# 146125 results: Craft: 11, Loot: 7+[5/3/2]=17, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #8 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Raidou makes haste toward this small inning. At a betting examination, a glowing outline of pink stretches on the exterior of this containment. Running his fingers across noticing that he would have to make his own entry. Raidou takes a few steps back and pulls his sword. Lifting the blade up was sorta hard due to its weight but it seemed to be getting easier the more he used it. Placing the tip against the entry and slowly but with some force begins to spin his weapon almost like a drill through the wall. After a bit of time, Raidou feels a small pop and vibration throughout his sword making him think that he hit a clearing with no wall on the other side. Sheathing his equipment he sticks his hand inside and starts feeling around. Coming to some rock-like substance Raidou grips a handful and pulls his arm away. In his grasp is a collection of varied gems. ID# 148572 results: Craft: 7, Loot: 18+[5/3/2]=28, Success! [Gatherer Activated!] +2 Bonus Materials 4*T3 Materials Obtained!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #9 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Putting the collection of gems in his satchel, Raidou sticks his hand back into the darkened area. Feeling around some more as his hand catches something. Pulling it out reveals it to be a pebble. Tossing it aside he continues to search around inside for something of use. Eventually finding a small stack of various shapes to the touch. Grabbing a handful and bringing it into the light. The content looked to be different sized shards. Some blue and others red Raidou place them with the others. Deciding to check for more but after a while, he was not able to make out anything else. Softly clapping its hands together to get the dirk that had made its way to him he begins searching the area for anything else around him. Nothing more of note comes into his view so he makes his way further into the cave as the dim lighting reflects off his glasses. ID# 148573 results: Craft: 7, Loot: 18+[5/3/2]=28, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #10 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) In the distance, Raidou’s eyes latch onto a crate with a silver lining. Making haste toward it now and with further inspection, it looks of fine wooden quality. The trimming color seems to have a reflection viewing to it. The wood is of polished dark oak that glows slightly from the light hitting down onto it. Intrigued, Raidou brushes his hand against the smooth surface. With further inspection, there seems to be a latch where a lock would have been placed if there was one. Pulling the top up with its hinge, Raidou glanced inside to find multiple color fabric and silks littered about at the bottom. Taking what was obvious to one's eyes and placing them in his pouch he looks further to see what else he can find in such a container. Moving what looks like a layer of tarp he finds a loose board. Taking a few fingers to lift it, hoping there was something inside of use. ID# 148574 results: Craft: 10, Loot: 16+[5/3/2]=26, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #11 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Removing the cap to the hidden compartment, Raidou tossed it aside revealing more materials inside. Some material he hasn’t seen before in this area. Picking through he takes into hand a few tough threads and carefully looks them over. These bolts seem to be thicker than the normal string he had found earlier. Placing them into his robe, Raidou looks back into the container finding heavy leathers. Dark brown and black hides to cover the very bottom. Taking them into his grasp, he folds them as tight as they would let him and puts them into his bag. With a third glance, Raidou doesn’t find anything else. Opening his HUD to calculate his materials, deciding to gather a few more contents for each member as more of each would not hurt. Searching around for more to gather but finding nothing of note, Raidou continues into the cave in hopes to proceed with his endeavor. ID# 148575 results: Craft: 11, Loot: 10+[5/3/2]=20, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #12 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Searching further into the cave, Raidou sets eyes on something glowing in the distance. Making hast toward it and with a better look know it to be more crystals. It too was in a flower for but there seemed to be a mix of different sizes within. The reflective properties from the lighting hitting it just right causing a reddish light to illuminate off of it. Unlike the crystallizations from before, this one was red with purple and dark blue swirled within it. Taking a hand to one of the larger recorders, he uses the circle method to release the crystal from its holding. Doing this notion to a few others he manages to pop a few free from their holding and carefully places them in his bag, to not cause them to clank and burst against the others. Not wanting to leave this node un-harvested he begins the other process on the smaller crystals. ID# 148576 results: Craft: 1, Loot: 18+[5/3/2]=28, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #13 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Taking the points of his fingers on the smaller recorders, moving them ever so slightly back and for so he doesn’t shatter it. With very precise movement he manages to bread it free from its holding. Placing this one in his pocket he moves to the next with the same notion. With the same slow movement and after a bit of time, Raidou collected all the recording crystals that were on this rock. Now having a decent portion of them in his inventory, Raidou scans around through the dim lighted area for anything else that he could add to his collection at the guild vault. On the opposite wall Raidou finds a ore node placed against the wall. Making haste toward it, Raidou tries to get a better idea of what type this was. The veins run deep within this boulder that was gold and silver. Raidou pulls his weapon out with the intention to break it open. ID# 148577 results: Craft: 2, Loot: 9+[5/3/2]=19, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #14 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Moving backward a few steps, Raidou uses the weight of his black and the momentum of his body to carry it into the mineral filled rock. Breathing a bit heavier than intended due to the constant movement trying to break apart the ore, Raidou manages to fill the ground with elements. Placing the blade to his back and crouching down, Raidou begins to divvy out the rocks and pebbles from the destruction that he caused beneath his feet. Picking up each vein filled jagged edge from the rubble, Raidou examines each piece to the best of his knowledge what Griswold could use efficiently for a masterpiece for the guild or others with high demands. Some careful glancing and dividing each pointed mineral from the other, Raidou pulls out a few gold and silver ore that was more of value than the others. Placing them into his satchel, Raidou gets to his feet and looks through his HUD for the material counts determining what else would be suitable to gather before heading out.

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #15 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Raidou realized that he has not obtained any food for his chef. Raidou quickly closes his HUD and scans the area for ingredients. Nothing catches his eyes so he makes haste toward the beginning of the cave thinking of the locations that he found them last time. With some intense scanning through the cave with only the dim lighting, Raidou finds a couple of patches of mushrooms laying about. Kneeling down, he attempts to find the best quality shrooms for his stock. Throwing some aside and others that fall apart in his hands, but he does find some that are worth keeping. Placing a few in a separate pouch and collecting some more before finding a different food content to gather from. After looting a good portion, Raidou gets to his feet to survey the grounds. A small distance away, Raidou’s eyes fall upon some leaves that seem to be growing from the damp soils of the cave. ID# 148579 results: Craft: 12, Loot: 3+[5/3/2]=13, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #16 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) With each foot falling toward the plants, a small splash of water forms under. With a further examination of these leaves growing from the ground, Raidou crouches in front of a couple and shovels with his hands around the content. A pile of dirt beside his hands, reveals a carrot underneath. Carefully picking this from the interior of the ground, Raidou continues digging with some others that are laying about close by. After a small collection of cave carrots are gathered Raidou gets to his feet and gently claps his hands together to remove the filth from them. Picking each from the ground, he places them in his pouch and was determined to find one other food source for the count. After scanning around a bit, Raidou sees nothing more of note so he turns back making haste deeper into the cavern. A yawn escapes Raidou’s mouth as he says to himself “No, not yet. I still have more to do” as his eyes start quickly glancing around the inner cave. ID# 148580 results: Craft: 7, Loot: 16+[5/3/2]=26, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #17 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) A few things catch his eye that he swears were not there before. In one of the corners, there is a crate full of fruit. With further inspection, the container itself was a deep red color. The wood looked polish, almost new from the looks of it. Inside this, there were some apples, pears, and some other basic fruits. First, he goes through the apple selection. Some were red and others were light green. When he grasped them into his grip some seemed softer than they should have been so he tossed them aside. Others were large and plump which are the ones he placed into his satchel. Going through the pears now, much like the apples, some were bruised and just didn’t look good enough to eat so he tossed them aside. The better quality ones, he gathers into his pouch. The other fruits were not viable for any use so he stands upright and opens his HUD. ID# 148583 results: Craft: 4, Loot: 17+[5/3/2]=27, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #18 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) While going through his inventory he calculates everything that has been gathered thus far. With the satisfaction that he had a good portion of everything, Raidou decides to collect a few more herbs for the road. Closing out his HUD, Raidou searched for any patch that was around. It took no time at all before he set his eyes on a small gold area in the middle of this section. Taking off her robe he makes his way toward it. Placing the cloth on the damp floor in front of the fibers that seemed to have a slight glow to them. Getting to his knees he begins to decipher the good from the bad quality which was easy enough for he has done this so many times before. Each time he examines them, he learns something new about them which satisfies Raidou to the fullest. Carefully picking each plant, as to not ruin them.

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #19 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Raidou places them into the satchel with the others. After a couple of plucks of the fiber, he was not convinced that this patch was gone all the way through so he continued to scan them until he was sure. After a few moments, his instincts were correct. Finding a few more golden vibrant fibers within the patch. His hands move above the plants as more become visible. Collecting each one as they become clear to him and placing them to the side by his legs with the intention to pick them up later when he was done. Eventually no more lit up to his visual perception. Raidou gets to his feet and gathers the pile that was overflowing next to him. Inserting them into his satchel, Raidou opens his HUD once more. With a full satisfaction of the materials that were obtained today he could go rest after a few more projects that needed tending to. ID# 148589 results: Craft: 10, Loot: 1+[5/3/2]=11, Success!

Raidou 1 Posted May 14, 2020 Author #20 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) A decision to pack up being reached as he had matters besides this to attend to today, Raidou collects his robe from the rough stone floor. Taking to the entry Raidou pays the grotto a once moreover, as the system had a nasty habit of spawning one more node just outside her peripheral, and this one contained resources for merchants, which was much more staggering to build in mass. As he scans about a subtle glimmer from a risen pillar of stone, Raidou moves to check the source. In iron trimming and riveted together, an old wooden container under lock with no key: A chest. Circling the box like a predator, looking for cords or cables that would deduce it was rigged to deal him harm, as picking was not something in his kit, and Raidou was unsure if the same boon Shield had extended to himself and as such would temper his greed with caution.
