Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #1 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Whistling to himself a famous tune concerning a sleeping lion he moved through the dense vegetation of floor six. Peace was hard to get concerning his opinion. Specially, when most of the high-ranking players wanted his head. He did not care one bit for that fact though. He had friends on the other side. If he played his cards right...Well, most of the competition would be dead soon. Noticing a shadow moving he quickly withdrew his sword waiting for whoever it was to come out.

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #2 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The NPC exit the shadows and stopped before the traveler. A friendly smile on his face, while it's name was covered and with it so was the purpose of his wandering. "Good eve, wandering soul. I have a challenge just for you... A chance in a lifetime. Are you willing to take it?" Waiting for the reply, the non playing character kept the friendly smile, one that did not match the old and weathered exterior. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #3 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He had not expected an NPC so far off from the nearest safe town. Usually different stories circled such happenings. Either woe would befall a player or grandness would be bestow upon the quester. The right corner of his mouth stretch up as he quietly listened to what seemed to be an old man. His calculating ming taking in each and every word. Just as he was going to ask a question of his own he received a noticed for a duel. Staring at it he waited for the NPC to finish.

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #4 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The NPC interrupted the traveler before he could speak. Continuing his words and caring very little for what he had to say. The old, weathered man moved his hands in a flourish manner. "Accept my duel, wandering soul. There is nothing to fear as I am old and inexperience, while you have youth and trickery. Shall you come out victor I promise you the greatest of rewards. An amount of COL in addition to a unique skill that you shall possess. A skill your enemies shall envy."

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #5 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 His eyes moved from the NPC to the duel notification. He thought this was too good to be true. The desire for greatness was something he thirst for. However... He did not trusted the words that came out of the old, weathered man. He needed the COL in spite of the fact that he might be agreeing to his own demise. He also needed the unique skill. A unique skill would be an advantage to him in battle. His finger was above the acceptance battle. Hitting it he took out his blade and prepared for the fight. "Why not?" He responded curtly. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #6 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Taking a step forward the NPC took out its sword. His seeming to shake as he did so. As the time began the countdown the friendly smile adorn it's weathered face still. The signal of the duel beginning to sound off he was the first to advance. Aiming his blade and attack directly at the players heart. His moves nothing compared to that of an old and weathered man. _______________________________ Level 3: Lucivar: 9/9 HP GEMINI: 9/9 HP Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #7 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He was not expecting for the unknown NPC to moved so fast toward him. Using his blade to block the attack the old man delivered a damage of one to him. Using his strength to push back the NPC his eyes moved to the decreasing number of his own HP bar. "Let me guess? No riches more finer than death?" His taunt was malicious. Not waiting for a reply he quickly attack. Mimicking the attack of the old weathered man he hoped to get a hit of his own in. _________________________________ Lucivar: 8/9 HP GEMINI: 9/9 HP Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #8 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The NPC let out a maniacal laugh as it turned. Dodging the missing hit before hitting the players sword with his own. Performing a bow as an actor something began to change in its features. "Fast of mind. Slow of body. Perhaps, death might suit you better than living." The man taunted looking up to meet the players eyes with its own. Flashing it's name for the player to see finally. GEMINI "I know of no death... But yours. If you cannot land a hit with me on this form, let us see what you can do to yourself." The words seemed like a riddle before the transformation was complete. Looking back at the player was himself. The weapon the same as his own. Lunging for another attack without warning. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #9 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He stared back at the very reflection of his own image. The details impressive. If he had not been right of mind, perhaps he would have though that he was looking into a mirror. Recognition dawn on him as he finally remembered the duel so many had talked about. GEMINI had taken many players lives on its quest. Small was the quantity of survivors. He did a quick turned then as the GEMINI approach for its second attack. His blade connecting with the NPC and sliding down the familiar steel. A loud sound echoed through the jungle. "You almost sound like my father... Too bad for you that you must mimic me..." The grunt came out with a hint of anger. Using his strength again he moved his blade to slash the NPC throat. _________________________ Lucivar: 8/9 HP GEMINI: 8/9 HP Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #10 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The players blade landed on its throat. Creating a slash and giving it a damage of one. His HP dropping to the same of the players. Grabbing on its throat the NPC imitated the players snarled. “Shut up!†It retorted brusquely.Jumping back one step before trying another attack this time wanting to cut the players shoulder.

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #11 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He took the hit without any problem. His HP dropping two more points. Giving the his mirror a satisfied smiled he turned and used his sword to connect with the GEMINI blade. "Already, getting riled up?" His taunt carried a sing song voice. This time he used his strength to push and then thrust his blade at the NPC chest. ______________________ Level 3- Completed. HP changes to the one of Level 4.

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #12 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 A hurt choke came out of it as the blade stabbed it's chest. The attack had not been critical but it delivered a damage of one to its HP. Staggering back a few steps a rage began to boiled inside of it. "You have no chance against me..." The NPC called out before its blade slashed through the air aiming at attack at the players own sword. Its aim to knock the weapon away from him. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #13 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He was getting too cocky for his own good. Being disarm by the NPC did not help him a single bit. Watching his blade fall off to the side. He evaded another attack before he did a roll and landed next to his blade. Grabbing it he used to block the GEMINI attack once more. Dodging the attack he tried his luck one more at his mirror's throat. _____________________________ Lucivar- 8/11 GEMINI- 6/9 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #14 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Another slash at it's throat cost the GEMINI another point to his HP bar. Back to the same number of HP that the player possessed the NPC let out a roar in disgust. Charging forward with blade drawn he aimed it straight for the players heart. His imitation blade lighting up with an attack. This time he could not failed. This time he needed to hit. The player moved the sword to protect his upper torso. Waiting for Gemini to come for him.

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #15 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He let out a loud chuckled as the NPC missed. His HP at an 8 was still at green. During the battle he had somehow leveled up and with that he still maintained a healthy HP bar. His mirror image had stayed back with the same HP he had when he was a level three. If he landed a critical hit perhaps he could finally end the battle. As the NPC advance towards him he quickly moved to attack. Gemini failed its attack which he was thankful for. Nevertheless he advance and jump up in the air his blade moving to hit with his strongest attack the NPCs head. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #16 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The blade created a gash on its head. Staggering around the Gemini hold on to it as his HP dropped once more. Not noticing that the rivaled player still had a healthy bar while its HP had lowered to 5 points. The Gemini dragged its hand down its face. Losing all the little humanity that it could possess in the process. One more point. One more critical hit. It could die. Seeing the player rolled away from it he followed after it. Swinging its sword back and forth not really trying to hit the player. _______________________________ Lucivar- 8/11 GEMINI- 5/9 Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #17 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Quickly moving from side to side evading the desperate moves of the NPC. He did another turned and this time slashed the GEMINI in between his shoulders. He needed to disable it as the NPC growing desperate meant an even more problem for him. Doing another quick cut he hoped that would help him. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #18 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 4 HP. The cuts delivered to its back left the NPC shaking. Falling to its knees it shook with fury and desperation. The handsome face that belonged to the player was scratch and the pixels leaving from the skin make it seem bloody. This time the laugh seemed more hysterical than maniacal. Holding on to it's sword it try to get up. "You... Cannot... Kill me..." It said over and over. Sounding less and less human. Turning to slash at the knee of the player the GEMINI continued its attack spurn by desperation most of all. ______________________ Lucivar- 8/11 HP GEMINI- 4/9 HP Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #19 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 He evaded the attack quite easily before walking around the kneeling NPC and sinking his own blade into the mirrors back with a hard plunge. He was shaking with fury and anger at finally having a chance to let it all out. Taking his blade back out he sinked it once more without mercy. "Watch me." His growl echoed through the trees and area. His ears catching how quiet everything had turn. Once he was satisfied he took it out and began to circle the GEMINI again. He was no prey. He was a deadly predator and he wanted to prove that. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 16, 2014 #20 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 The sword plunged into its body a scream following after. Breathing heavily it staggered once more to stand up as it HP hit the critical stage of 3 points. Trembling legs did not let it move and as he used his sword as a cane he tried to raise it up to defend itself. He could see the pleased expression of the player. The smug look of victory as the player took one step forward to at least give it a chance to attack. When the player took a step forward his blade connected with the players blade before the player slashed once more at its throat. The GEMINI let out a roar as its health to 1 point. Looking up at the player in awe as it finally felt to its knees. "You... Win..." The croak that came out was one of anguish. ______________________________ Lucivar- 8/11 HP GEMINI- 1/9 HP Link to post Share on other sites
