Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #21 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) The pink haired girl was still having trouble with the rider at her side. A growl of annoyance escaped her breath and the swing of a pink blade knocked him off of his horse completely. The equine continued on its path before branching off for it's own freedom. A moments of rest... until the next one pushed her. The paralysis was giving him difficulties it seemed and his weight to one side, made the horse he was riding get the wrong impression. It drove straight into Yuki's horse, causing her to tumble over the side in between the two horses she was riding. Her gloved hand was barely able to hold on to saddle to keep her from being run over by the cart that they were carrying. Her other hand had her weapon occupied. "Ren! Help!" The girl tossed her lance into the cart to make sure she didn't lose it and reached to her friend, she couldn't hold on much longer...

NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #22 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 "Yuki--" Priorities first. One cross-blast to the rider en back. NIGHT didn't even check to see if the explosion hit her mark -- with any luck, prayers upon her winter's gift of a necklace, it did. Another blow to the side, sending the last rider back to its maker. The flurry of dirt that erupted from her attack only served to scare their own vehicle's creatures even more, further exacerbating the problem. Not good. But with their hostilities out the way, that left the player on board the ability to focus on what properly mattered. She set down her blade, eyes scanning the horses for their reigns in the wind. No-- no time for that. The falling paladin had her arm stretched out, and that was as good enough a call to action for the knight. They could worry about their route later. One reach, one clasp, a gloved hand locked onto her friend's arm, and NIGHT pulled her tank up with a heave and a grunt -- if not back onto the wagon, then at least an offering of enough support to haul her back onto her saddle. When Yuki had a secure hold upon their vehicle, the knight reached for what part of the tethers she could grab onto, pulling on them firmly to usher their mounts to a walk. @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147349 | BD: 9 (4, +5) <<Blast>> vs Elven Rider #1. 22 * 2 = 44 DMG | 44 - 15 = 29 DMG ID: 147348 | BD: 7 (2, +5) <<Blast>> vs Elven Rider #3. 22 * 2 = 44 DMG | 44 - 15 = 29 DMG Elven Rider #1 | HP: -28/250 (-29) | DMG: 80 | MIT: 15 Elven Rider #3 | HP: -28/250 (-29) | DMG: 80 | MIT: 15 [2, 2] NIGHT | HP: 830/910 | EN: 45/88 (+1, -3) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [2, 2] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 42/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #23 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Heavy breathing fell on Ren's ears when Yuki planted herself back into the cart and on the seat. The paladin took a moment to collect her breath and then threw her arms around Night, pulling the other girl into a firm hug. She likely would not have died from being ejected from the cart, but the reinforcements could have caught up before she was able to make it back to her. When it came to tanking, Yuki could take some punishment, but she couldn't last forever. She would have been dead. Not to mention the terror of looking at the wooden wheels of the carriage like they were going to smash her. When the paladin finally let go of the frightened embrace and looked her friend in the eyes. "Thank you Ren. I-I think we lost them now. No one is behind us and we're still making good time. They'd have to be extremely dedicated to send anyone else after us right?" @NIGHT Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #24 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 A hug? NIGHT could've choked. The sensation sent shivers down her spine, the dark-clad player unused to the embrace. Was this normal? Was Yuki scared? What was she to do, return the gesture? Her hands hovered over the paladin's shoulders, the woman trying to debate how to react. Just as quickly as her mind raced for the proper response, her friend pulled away, meeting her in the eyes. Too much. NIGHT pulled her gaze away, knowing full well her cheeks were already flushed a decent scarlet. As her companion pointed out their lack of pursuers, the knight's sights rested on the road behind them. The Underdark's entrance was nowhere to be seen now, their getaway wagon having gone far enough to have lost it in the wasteland within their wake. A warbled hum of agreement, the response to Yuki's questioning, its player still laced with embarrassment. "Probably," she muttered, gingerly shifting her position back onto one side of the bench, taking the out of contact to pull open her mail interface once again. There, her information laid bare, all the details of her quest made available to her. If only she'd taken the time to read and commit it to memory instead of checking her references every so often. "We're headed for the Vale of Ruin." A finger to scroll downwards, inspecting the information about their other pursuers. "Looks like there's going to be a few more coming for us after all. But they shouldn't be as quick to jump us like that." With that clarification out the way, NIGHT waved her interface away, two hands upon the reigns of their cart, the player keeping an eye out on their surroundings. "We've got time to rest. Not sure where our destination is though... Think we'll come across it easy?" @Zajcica Spoiler NIGHT | HP: 860/910 (+30) | EN: 46/88 (+1) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #25 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 "If we don't, I'll find a way to find it." The paladin said with confidence. Yuki had a lot of problems to deal with, but if there was one thing she had belief in, it was that she could do anything she put her mind to. She was brash and reckless, that was why she loaded herself with armor. She had started off her adventure in Aincrad wanting to be a healer, but that wouldn't suffice for her. She had to take engagement by the reigns and keep it controlled. It was in her nature. Looking back at Night, she realizes that her hug may have been met with a less than ideal reaction. She didn't mean to make Ren feel uncomfortable or anything, she kind of just threw herself onto the other girl in relief. A quiet apology came from her. "Oh...Um, sorry. I, uh..." The paladin's face grew red as well. Great, she was already making things awkward again. @NIGHT Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #26 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 "Ah. I'll leave it to you then, navigator." No eye contact, as the paladin stammered out a word about their hug. NIGHT only glanced her way, catching the pink of her hair in her gaze before returning to the wilderness ahead. "It's-- It's fine," she breathed, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear, trying to forget about the contact. The woman never understood how touches in close proximities could come to easily to people, and she wasn't about to start thinking about them now. In time, her energy would recover. If any of the known hunters were to jump them soon, she'd be able to take them on quickly. Knowing of the coming threat caused the woman to turn her sights to the side, the knight's cheek held up with a palm on an elbow. She was hunched over, in seclusion and in boredom as she watched the mix of white and green roll by their path. The going was slow for now. Only a matter of time. But the silence... "Y'know," NIGHT perked up, speaking aloud as she winced at the memory of the battle they'd just rolled out of. "As much of a riot that was to pull off, I don't know if I'd ever do that again. Um, fighting on a wagon, I mean. It's hard enough as it is to land a nice hit on an enemy on land..." "... Oh, yeah. You jumped over to a horse earlier, didn't you?" Now she had a reason to look back at her conversationalist, the red finally fading from her own face. "You know how to ride, Yuki? That's..." Intriguing? Exotic? Out-there? "... eccentric." @Zajcica Spoiler Two turns have passed since combat. Energy has been restored to full.

Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #27 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) "My...My mother did try to get me into some kind of sport or something, so I did learn how to ride a bit. I didn't really like it all that much to be honest. It was harder than it looked and I was so young at the time. Luckily, it was like riding a bike! I guess real life skill really do apply here in Aincrad, unless it was help from the system." Her smile shined to her friend, trying to reassure her. The sound of horse hoofs clomping on dirt sounded behind them. "Mou~ More annoying meanies are coming. Should we pull over and fight them on solid land? It'll make it easier for you right?" Too late, they were already here. They both abandoned their horse and jumped onto the cart with the two players. They brought their sword over Night's head, the tank instinctively jumped between them, standing much more uncomfortably close to Night than she wanted, but the cart was much smaller than she would have liked, but if she didn't, Ren could have been impaled before she had time to react. "Get out of here jerks! If you even think about hurting my friend, I'll destroy you!" The paladin's lance glowed pink with a hum. With a growl of anger, she embedded the lance into the elf's chest.

NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #28 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 A hum of interest in response. That kind of privilege at such a young age? NIGHT couldn't even fathom the possibility, but it was good watching her friend cheer up in her explanation. The clapping of hooves against soil stole both players' attention once again. Before the knight could slow their carriage, their pursuers jumped upon the wagon's back, landing on the sacks of belongings, footing seemingly unstable. Well, it was their disaster, NIGHT mused, as Yuki made the leap to defend her, the clashing of steel against shield ringing out in the empty field. They were close, the distance between the two women begging the shadowed knight to bite into her tongue as she tried to pull away without upsetting her ally's stance. She hadn't even gotten up yet, much less pull her sword out, so in an exaggerated rise she spun around, glove upon the corner of the back of her seat. One step towards the closest assassin, and she slammed Thunderstorm's hind into the elf's forehead. A rippling glow of purple, an energized wave of shock spread from her point of force, knocking both the hunters backwards, forcing the collapsed souls to kneel before their makers, their undoers. As much as that attack had pleased her, it was imprudent to think that their fight was over with just one strike. NIGHT took a stance as she edged forward onto the cloth, sword ahead of her, prepared for whatever came next. @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147371 | BD: 15 (10, +5) <<Tempest>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #1. 22 + 2 = 24 DMG | 24 * 8 = 192 DMG | 192 - 30 = 162 DMG ID: 147370 | BD: 14 (9, +5) <<Tempest>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #2. 22 + 1 = 23 DMG | 23 * 8 = 184 DMG | 184 - 30 = 154 DMG Dark Elf Hunter #1 | HP: 400/575 (-162) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED | BLEEDING (12) [2/2] Dark Elf Hunter #2 | HP: 421/575 (-154) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED [2, 2] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 80/88 (-8) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [4, 1] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 56/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Link to post Share on other sites

The paladin jumped on top of them, ramming her pink lance into their chests with ease since they were unable to move. Once the damage had been done, her very mediocre damage at that, her face scrunched up in annoyance. She wasn't meant to do the damage, she knew that, but watching these half assed mobs take absolutely no damage from her thorns really bugged her. If she could do more damage, she could help Night finish the fight faster. Know your role Yuki and stay the course. The course! She would need to drive again! The paladin took the reigns herself to ensure the horses had the guidance they needed not to run into anything. "I got this, and their focusing on me. Keep it up, Ren!" With that she snapped the reigns of the equine to keep them going. They had to be close to the Vale by now and these were the last of the guards to deal with. @NIGHT Dark Elf Hunter #1 | HP: 397/575 (-1+12) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED | BLEEDING (12) [2/2] Dark Elf Hunter #2 | HP: 420/575 (-1) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED [2, 2] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 80/88 (-8) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [8, 4] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 46/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Edited May 9, 2020 by Zajcica Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #30 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 One breath, as she watched the paladin sink her weapon into one of their opponents. Then, as it was forcibly yanked out of the fallen target, it was as though a flash of realization had struck her, how quickly the woman whipped around to jump back into the coachman's seat. With one seize of the horses' leads, Yuki hollered over to NIGHT to keep up the pace on her own. "Got it." Most of these entities were like playthings to her, she figured, as she watched the figures rise from their dazed state. It wouldn't be difficult to put them each back into their places -- back into the scatter of data they originated from, Cardinal be damned for sending the apparitions after her, her friend, the rest of the player base if she were so brave. With a wave of her weapon, NIGHT sliced into her nearest foe, her sword's edge crackling with a sickening bolt of energy, enrapturing the unfortunate elf in a powerful zap. They wouldn't be rising again up, not for a long time. The other's fate fared much better. NIGHT raised her blade to meet the mobile elf in a parry, shadowed yellow eyes meeting darkened purple. She broke their hold, pushing against her sword with all her weight, the light of her sword art making quick work of her opponent's health bar. No retaliation? A shame. But that meant her tank was doing her job well, and that was enough for the player in black. @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147376 | BD: 10 (6, +5 -1) | MD: 4 (2, +2) <<Calamity Disaster>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #1. 22 * 12 = 264 DMG | 264 - 30 = 234 DMG Dark Elf Hunter #1 missed!

Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #31 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 The paladin looked back to make sure that the fight was still in their favor, and thankfully it was. The group of mobs were already down to about 30% health and Night could handle them with another single sword art. No reason to worry about making an attack here. She would just focus on navigating them through the remaining areas and into the Vale that Night was talking about earlier. She pulled up her map to see if she could find such a place logged there, and thankfully it was pinned on her quest marker. That made it simple enough. They could be there soon. The girl let out a sigh of relief, initially she thought that this quest was going to be dangerous for her to take on, but night made everything easy when she tanked for her. It was clear that the two of them would become some good friends.

NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #32 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Another rise from the rabble? No, NIGHT didn't think so. With one final brandish of her blade flaring to life, it was time for their execution. In darkness, the player walked, the reaper of the elves taking slow steps forward, allowing her victims to count down their seconds left to live. Thunderstorm hissed, furious for judgement as the warrior cast it to the side, forcing its levin to make a show of itself -- one final spectacle before the hunters slept for good. Two hands upon her hilt as she swung it, NIGHT battering her paralyzed foe with a singe of light, punting its form onto the ground. A yelp, a bump and a scatter did cause the vile kin to disperse. Turning quickly, she slammed her blade down in front of the chaser, the elf stumbling to a halt as an obstacle blocked its path. A raise of their weapon -- but it was too late. By then, NIGHT had already buried the lightning edge within the side of its torso, splitting the shadower in half, its top segment fading away with the sands of time. The knight kicked idly, demolishing what was left of the creature's form away and off their cargo. Those two were down. Were there any more after them? @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147379 | BD: 10 (6, +5 -1) <<Calamity Disaster>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #1. 22 * 12 = 264 DMG | 264 - 30 = 234 DMG ID: 147378 | BD: 12 (8, +5 -1) <<Calamity Disaster>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #2. 22 * 12 = 264 DMG | 264 - 30 = 234 DMG Dark Elf Hunter #1 | HP: -93/575 (-234) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 Dark Elf Hunter #2 | HP: -60/575 (-234) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 [4, 5] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 58/88 (+1, -12) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [8, 4] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 41/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully they got there just as Night laid the killing blows on their enemies, sending them back into the Cardinal system where they would likely rematerialize as something else in the world, if not just the same program it was before. Once the horses finally stopped, the girl collapsed against the back of the carriage seat and groaned. "Tsukareta!~ Man that was annoyingly, long and tedious. " Her eyes trailed up to the dark-haired girl behind her, who was replacing her sword into its holder once again. When her eyes met the eyes of her friend, the girl smiled brightly to her, looking at her upside down. "Great job. Your sword really does make quick work of almost anything, doesn't it? I'm glad we got through that, but here is the quest location that were supposed to go to. Is that all we needed?" Just as she was sitting up, she saw the remaining group of riders jump from their hiding places, trying to get a stab of on the girl while she relaxed. "Mooooouuuuu! Leave us alone! I'm totally done questing for a few days!" The pinkette groaned, blocking the strikes with her Shield and slashing both the enemies with a single swing of her weapon. @NIGHT Dark Elf Hunter 1: 574/575 (-1) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | EVA: 1 | ACC: 2 | Para: 9-10MD +25 DMG | [BLEEDING: 1/2] Dark Elf Hunter 2: 575/575 (-1) | DMG: 150 | MIT: 30 | EVA: 1 | ACC: 2 | Para: 9-10MD +25 DMG [0, 0] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 88/88 | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [3, 3] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 56/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Edited May 9, 2020 by Zajcica Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #34 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 "Well," NIGHT replied, sliding Thunderstorm back into its sheathe, "we got here on wagon wheels." She closed her eyes and took a breather, letting her shoulders relax a little. A shuffle of feet on the cargo below, and she looked over to Yuki, gesturing with an open palm. "It could've taken us longer. At least that first part was exciting." Taking a step off the carriage, she hopped off the rotting wood, landing upon the dirt with a thud. What stood before them was a collection of rubble and stone, refashioned with burnt logs, broken twigs and dried mud, all ingredients to form the most out of a bustling, weathered village in the middle of nowhere. The player's eyes fell upon the different citizens of the vale -- lizard folk scaled red, dark elves that donned various colours. NIGHT could even swear she'd seen some fur-typed beast men walking around in back, but her attention was stolen by chatter from behind her. The city could wait. Her weapon? She turned around to face the paladin, pulling out her blade on instinct to review its form. As she was about to speak to answer her query, out came the last of their chasers, upon the sanctuary's doorstep, no less. Yuki's whining wasn't misplaced. NIGHT had a mind to finish off their duties here and head over to exploring the town herself. With that in mind, she lunged forth, unleashing a Tempest to bring down her enemies. @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147400 | BD: 10 (6, +5 -1) <<Tempest>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #1. 22 * 8 = 176 DMG | 176 - 30 = 146 DMG ID: 147399 | BD: 12 (8, +5 -1) <<Tempest>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #2. 22 * 8 = 176 DMG | 176 - 30 = 146 DMG Dark Elf Hunter #1 | HP: 429/575 (-146) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED Dark Elf Hunter #2 | HP: 429/575 (-146) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 | STUNNED [1, 1] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 50/88 (+1, -9) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [3, 3] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 34/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #35 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 The paladin stood idle, waiting for her friend to follow up the damage on her own attack. Yuki's damage was too awful to even make use of the exploitable position that they were in. Even if she did hit them, they would only take one damage and maybe make them bleed if she landed a good attack, but why? It probably would not change the damage threshold for Night anyway. That being said the tank sighed and just stood over them, looking entirely too bored to do anything but look down on the stunned enemies. "Man these guys get hit and stunned pretty often for programs named "Dark Elf Hunters". Can't you do anything better?" The paladin taunted kicking the Elf with her foot and shaking him. He gave her a fierce expression of aggravation for that one. She turned to Night and shrugged, taking a seat against the carriage again to rest. Her hate would surpass her friends for a few attacks, so why waste the energy. @NIGHT Yuki was too lazy to attack.

NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #36 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Two strikes each to bring them down to slaughter. Cross out the first ones, because NIGHT landed them both, culling what was left of their opponent's health bars down to half, each with a crackling blow of the levin-laced blade. The white left one of their would-be slayers down shackled down by jolts of purple, while the one Yuki had managed to kick down was stopped and repelled by two swings of her blade. Her attack sent the elf hunter down into the dirt, helm bouncing off their head as they trailed back downwards into the soil with a skid. NIGHT waved off the crackle from her weapon with ease, funneling her breath through a thin gap between her lips. If only her appetite for fighting was ravenous. No, she'd had her fill. The warrior was content enough today. "Anyway," the player finally spoke, letting her sword's tip meet the ground as their foes struggled to get up once again. "To your question. Today's choice of blade was made for putting a stop to the enemies' movements. You're getting a show out of this guy." A shift of Thunderstorm in her hands, tilting the edge of the sword to reveal its colours under the sunlight. "It doesn't matter what I'm using, actually -- whatever I'm fighting, as long as they're not careful..." NIGHT set her eyes back onto the battle field, watching the stragglers attempt to rise.

Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #37 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) The knight's blade sank into both of her targets, leaving dark red gashes again their models to signify seep wounds. Their health bars feel dangerously low, closing in on red now. One more attack would probably be enough to put an end to their misery. Noticing that Night had landed a critical hit, something that was known to attract more attention to a player, she picked up her lance again, swinging at that elf to ensure that his attention stayed glued to her. The one that was able to move parried the attack away from his comerade, knocking Yuki's weapon to the ground. She watched it fall, landing gently in the dirt next to her. Her fist socked the elf in the face, getting him off her. Her hand reached down and picked up her lance. She stood there idle again. She had a feeling that this would be foreshadowing for awhile. Just holding aggro and standing there like a meat prickly meat shield for others.

NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #38 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 NIGHT almost felt uncompelled to move, watching Yuki tussle with the withered elves. As the pink player tossed her punch, the knight whistled, a hand set to upon her own hip as she slung her blade upon her shoulder. "Having fun over there? Don't mind me, now." She watched the two hunters, their movement staggered and unsteady. When it seemed as though they'd regained their dexterity, weapons raised upon her sentinel, NIGHT pulled her blade upwards, her hand resting on its grip once more. One slam of the edge into the closest's side, and the assassin fell away in a scatter of light. Its buddy soon followed suit, sent to the ground with a heavy blow, the likes of which caused its body to tumble away before shattering into pieces. All in a day's work. The warrior felt the hum of energy fade away from her weapon as soon as combat was finally resolved. Putting her sword to her back once more, NIGHT stretched, leaning backwards with her arms to the sky. One huff, before she trekked over to the back of their wagon, cracking her knuckles as her gaze fell on Yuki. "Hope you enjoyed your time sitting pretty. Here, we should probably let the couple know we're here already." Her gloved hands started rifling through the different sacks, checking to catch any signs of the mates in their belongings. "Don't want them to suffocate in there for too long, after all..." @Zajcica Spoiler ID: 147410 | BD: 6 (2, +5 -1) <<Calamity Disaster>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #1. 22 * 12 = 264 DMG | 264 - 30 = 234 DMG ID: 147409 | BD: 6 (2, +5 -1) <<Calamity Disaster>> vs Dark Elf Hunter #2. 22 * 12 = 264 DMG | 264 - 30 = 234 DMG Dark Elf Hunter #1 | HP: -39/575 (-234) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 Dark Elf Hunter #2 | HP: -51/575 (-234) | ACC: 2 | DMG: 150 | EVA: 1 | MIT: 30 [3, 4] NIGHT | HP: 910/910 | EN: 26/88 (+1, -13) | ACC: 5 | DMG: 22 | EVA: 2 | PARAV-O: 1 | PARAV-D: 1 | LD: 2 [3, 3] Zajcica | HP: 590/590 | EN: 35/56 | DMG: 4 | MIT: 92 | THORNS: 18 | REGEN: 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Zajcica 0 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #39 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Night riffled through the back checking the sacks to tell the couple that they were now free of the Underdark. Yuki seemed as though she was done for the day, and maybe longer. The paladin sighed quietly to herself. "Thanks. It gets a little boring when I can't manage doing more than 1% of their HP in damage. At that point it's just best to let them bang uselessly against my prickly frame and be punished for it. She laughed quietly as a funny thought went through her head. "I'm like a pink cactus!" Her laughing only got more out of hand as she vocalized it. "Well, Ren, I know that this caused trouble for us the last time, but do you wanna finish this food now?" The egg and noodles from earlier appeared in her hand and she offered Night a smile. "We can eat and explore this town for fun while the heat on us cools down." @NIGHT Link to post Share on other sites
NIGHT 0 Posted May 9, 2020 #40 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 NIGHT's gaze fell upon the bowl of food from before, as the last of the elves hopped off the wagon, landing with two feet set to the floor. Her dish wasn't piping hot like earlier, but it still looked pretty delicious. A rumbling in her stomach told her to accept it, so with two hands she picked up the bowl, a sign of graciousness, finding the chopsticks wedged in between her fingers. "Thanks," she offered, feeling the weight shift as she carried her udon with a hand. With the other, NIGHT set the chopsticks in her mouth, pulling apart her utensils with her teeth. An adjustment of the sticks in her hand, before she continued speaking, glancing up to her friend in earnest. "That sounds like a nice idea, actually. I was wondering what they had over here after peeking into it. Though, I doubt any oter hunters will be coming after us any time soon." A handful of noodles pinched in her hands, along with a slice of the chawanmushi. "It's for the better, really. I'd hate to imagine what these abandoned kin would do to those chasing after us." She slid the portion of meal into her mouth, watching the wagon pull away, down the center of the path to town. "C'mon," she added in a jest, doing her best to savour the food and swallow it at the same time. Lukewarm -- but it didn't matter with udon and chawanmushi. They were always a good combination no matter the temperature. "The escorts are getting away from us." Down the road, the entities went in pairs. The horses in the front, the couple on the seats, and now behind them tailed their body guards, watching the world pass them by with nary a care between them.
