[PP - F28] «Scouting» I'm Just Here for the Pumpkin Pie!


Recommended Posts

Floor 28, the main settlement of «Glyndebourne». It's been [ insert time ] since the frontlines extended to this new autumn paradise. This particular blonde could be found in the southern part of the city, the shopping district, window shopping (most of the time). However she and her short, white fur, four legged companion were happily munching on fresh piece of pumpkin pie. The thought of having a seat at a bear tavern and fully indulge in the local specialities did crossed her mind as soon as the different flavours that danced though the air enticed her. She almost gave in but the agreement she made with fellow 'scouts' helped her restrain.

Walking at a steady pace, she would eventually reach the established meeting place, the tallest building they could eye as soon as they step foot on the newly unlocked floor: the bell tower of the main settlement's church. 
Gaining access to the bell tower proved easier than expected, after simply asking for permission, one of the local church attendants left the tower's gate open for her and whoever may wanna reach the top through... traditional means.

Once up there, Ariel took a moment to take in the autumnal surroundings. Then she used her «Search» skill to see if there was anyone already around and in hiding, an old habit...

As Bahr ascended the 28th floor, he couldn't help but marvel at the unique environment he found himself in. The moment he stepped off of the teleport pad, he was greeted by an eye-catching bloom of fall colors. The world around him was a captivating display of autumnal beauty.

Everywhere he looked, the trees displayed a mesmerizing palette of warm hues. Deep oranges, rich reds, and vibrant yellows adorned the leaves, creating a stunning tapestry that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ground was carpeted with a thick layer of crisp, golden leaves that crunched beneath his boots with each step. The air was filled with the earthy scent of fallen leaves and the subtle fragrance of woodsmoke. A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, causing leaves to flutter and spiral gracefully to the ground, adding to the picturesque scene.

In the distance, Bahr could see a towering structure rising above the trees. Its architecture seemed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The bell tower, a magnificent structure of stone and wood, stood proudly against the backdrop of the perpetual autumn. The tower itself was a sight to behold. Its stonework was adorned with intricate carvings of leaves, vines, and forest creatures, all expertly crafted by skilled artisans. At its peak, a massive bronze bell hung, its surface adorned with intricate engravings that told the tale of the 28th floor.

Bahr couldn't resist the urge to explore this captivating world further. The land where fall reigned eternally was unlike any other floor he had encountered in Aincrad, and he was eager to uncover its secrets and mysteries. With each step, he embraced the tranquil beauty of the autumn season, and the bell tower stood as a silent sentinel, waiting to share its stories with those who dared to venture closer.

The crunching of fallen leaves beneath Bahr's boots would signal his approach to Ariel, who it seemed had been the first of the impromptu group to arrive. He regarded her with a, "Greetings," stopped a few feet away and taking a quick look around. They'd been the only two to arrive thus far. "Thanks for the invite," was the follow-up, offered as his golden hues flickered back to the blonde. "Feels a bit different to be among the first to search out the Labyrinth, I'll admit."

The warm colors of reds, orange, and yellow.  Browns and tans cover corners and buildings alike.  This land is peaceful.  Its inhabitants kind.  The 28th floor was filled to the brim with the strange serene grace of a perpetual autumn season.  

The hunter could only wonder what twisted way the labyrinth for this floor will change the environment.  What could bring the gravity of the situation crashing down on the group of players that would be searching its very core for a way to the next floor up.  Creatures to possibly get in their way.  Puzzles that would bring them to the brink of insanity.  Chess?  He could only shake the thoughts from his head.  He would not dwell on the hours long chess puzzle.

Ariel had asked of him to join her on the next labyrinth search.  He could only agree, as a good scout should.  Getting everyone out of this place was the core goal, and he was there to help.  Even when his reputation would be in question for some.  It did not matter to him, as there was one with them that he questioned more than himself.

The tall building before him would look like quite a few other bell towers that he had seen before.  Each floor may be different in architecture and customs, but some infrastructure would seem to be ever present.  This building was the best place to centralize and coordinate, it seemed.

Waving to the two that were already there, the hunter was clad in his silver half plate armor, adorned in silvery wings accents.  He would take the old bucket helm off of his head to reveal his signature jade green hair.  He would smile towards Ariel before the other.

"Glad to be joining you on another excursion."

He would then look to the other person in the group.  He had not met this one before, but if Ariel was inviting them, then they must be good for it.  Raising his hand to his forehead in a two finger salute, the hunter would greet the other man.

"Hey there!  Jade Hunter, Hirru!  At your service."

Hirru would then remember that he brought a couple goods for them to work with.  In one hand he would hold a plate of berry flavored granola bars, though the taste has expired a bit.  He would set them upon a small stand he prepared. Afterwards, his gungnir shard that flowered out to reveal the salty fish feast that he held with him.

"Got a couple buffs to kick us off.  Luck enhancers and Mitigation boosters."

He would say as he could only take some share of the buffs and wait for whomever would be joining them.

"Who else was coming?"

Violet felt her heart longing for home somehow, her eyes skimming over the lands of the new floor that they'd reached. Beautiful, sun-dappled forests that appeared as seas of red, gold and brown, framing a lively little town that looked as though it belonged in a story book. She was lounging on top of one of the brick-roofed houses, Akame curled up on her chest and fast asleep. Her eyes were skimming the town lightly, checking to see who was visiting the floor.

only the occasional player drifted through, some of them being high-level players that were just drifting about, while some of them were surprisingly lower-levelled players. It was a nice sight to see, if she was being completely honest. She did, however, spot at least one person that actually caught her attention, one of her fellow frontliners, a man that went by the name Hirru. He'd been on her team in the previous raid, and had been a wonderful boon to their team, and his quick thinking had been one of the many reasons that their team had done as well as it had.

She checked her menus for a few moments, making sure that there weren't any raid signup or planning announcements, before she gingerly scooped up her familiar, and made her way down the street, following after Hirru at a even, relaxed pace. She perked up when she spotted two other frontline-level players, Ariel, and a man with white hair - a man whom she knew to be Bahr, a face that she'd seen at least twice during a few of the previous floor-raid meetings.

She hopped off of the roof that she'd stopped on, a short walk away from the tower, humming to herself with a smile as she made her way over to the trio of frontliners. "Yo! I didn't think people were already prepping for a Labyrinth hunt!" she said dryly, her hands clasped behind her head. "Need a fourth to help out? I've still got time to kill~!"

The serene atmosphere reminded her of the 22nd floor, where her base of operations was located. She felt a little guilty for leaving those two in charge, for the time being. They were still too green to join her in this endeavour. Kimba shoot her a nagging look, as if reading her companion's thoughts: "It's still too early for them." she answered in a low tone, partially trying to convince herself. 
Though her musings didn't get to advance further as the sound of the old wood creaking under a heavy steps caught her attention, it seemed she wasn't as rusty as she thought. This mission would help reinforce that thought... hopefully.

"I believe that the sooner we get a strong grasp of what's before us, the better we can prepare for it." she replied to Bahr with a soft smile. 

She waved back at Hirru and after his question, pointed behind him with a smirk. "I can never say no to someone that takes care of their team!" she added, replying to Mina. Although their only interactions were probably during the boss fight, Ariel took a mental note of her support capabilities. Especially in the raid that just ended.

As she took a piece of the shard offered to them, with a involuntary "Arigato". It helped her get a bit more mitigation, not that she was planning to get hit anytime soon. 

With her free hand, she drew some markings in the air before her and send all three of them a party invitation: 

"Let's start with pooling our knowledge of the floor." She then pulled her digital map and displayed it as a screen over one of the bell tower's windows. "I don't know how much of this floor the rest of you managed to explore so feel free to add to the map. I only probed around the main settlement we're currently in." she then pointed with her middle and index finger at the following: "I asked a local for a bike and managed to visit «The MacDonald Farmstead» and take a look at the «Daunson Falls»." she marked both places with a circle and continued: "The farmstead seemed like a pretty lively place and one of the workers directed me towards the falls. After a nice lunch there I managed to visit the next spot. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary except for some typical wildlife... you know... snakes, deer and the like

She hesitated as she gently bit her lower lip but added with a small blush: "Then I joined the locals for some fishing for... a few hours." she admitted, a bit embarrassed.

"Glad to be joining you on another excursion."

It seemed a third had joined the fold.

"Hey there!  Jade Hunter, Hirru!  At your service."

Bahr regarded the newcomer with a curt nod. "Bahr, Kingslayer," he replied concisely, though it felt strange to call himself such. When the man offered food, Bahr held out a palm and shook his head. "Much appreciated, but I filled up before I got here. I'll leave these for whoever else might need them."

No sooner had the words left his lips than Mina appeared, rounding out their grouping into a solid four. A perfect quartet for labyrinth hunting. He regarded the rosy-haired youth with another nod, before Ariel took charge and redirected everyone's attention to a map of the floor, its translucent facade obscuring one of the windows of the tower.

"Let's start with pooling our knowledge of the floor."

Bahr listened thoughtfully while she explained her experience with the floor thus far. She seemed a bit embarrassed that she'd gotten sidetracked during her explorations, to which Bahr cracked a wry grin. "Better than me, I'll admit," he stated, before adding, "This is my first time on a floor above twenty-six. Can't say I know anything at all about this place yet. Although, I will point out that your observations of the local wildlife paint a pretty relieving picture. I'm tired of fighting grotesque monsters."

His amber orbs narrowed into slits while he inspected the map in more granular detail, index finger and thumb cradling his chin as he contemplated potential hiding places for their hunt's focus. "Based purely on the topography, the northern section of the floor looks promising." He circled a large forest that blanketed almost half the floor. "This is the area we've got the least visibility on. The western quadrant is wide open - though that doesn't mean we won't find what we're looking for there. Just means that if there were something out of the ordinary, there's a good chance we'd already be able to see it on the map." 

His eyes flickered again to his companions. "If nothing else, the map data we collect in the forest could be valuable for future excursions."

Ariel would return his greeting while the man would give his name and title.  Kingslayer, it was.  It was a good thing he wasn't there to face off against Gabrandr, or the airship battle afterward.  Though, the hunter was keen to see Bahr's fighting style.  Another log into the archives. 

"It's all good.  Just more for another venture.  Thankfully the shard replenishes every 24 hours."

Looking behind his shoulder, he would spy the burnout queen herself.  Hirru was sure that he had some recovery medallions, but they were all tier one rarity.  He would have to make something for her energy usage, or else he would be the one to deal with it.  He would smile before waving to Mina.

"Yo!  Good to have another healer with us.  Though, I'd prefer you stick to your guns more, even if they drain you."

He would say with a smirk, before looking back to the two as they exchanged information.  He could only shake his head as he did not have any information himself.

"Although we all came in from the 27th raid, I had to immediately leave to begin preparations.  We're in heavy need of vitality consumables and instant heal songs, if Wushen was any sign."

Hirru would mull over the suggestions that Bahr threw out.  They were definitely sound, as there wasn't much in the way of mountains or caverns around here.  Mostly plains and forests, from the descriptions that he could see and what was given.

"I'd have to agree.  The forest is probably housing more than just a couple bears or so."

Violet let out a sheepish chuckle at the remark from Hirru, scratching her head in embarrassment. That had been quite the embarassment, though at least she'd only run out of damage towards the end of the raid fight, which was more than ok. Did it suck? Oh absolutely, but at least it hadn't been only halfway through. "Sorry about that, by the way! I should have brought some VIT food with me, I didn't plan ahead!" she said sheepishly, "I'll be providing as much backup as I can, I promise I won't slack off!" Akame had perched herself on her head, the tiny dragon letting out a delighted chirp.

at the comment of prep work needing to be done, she checked her menus with a smile. "Well, after we get this done, I'm totally down to go terrorize Zandra and the other members of our lovely crafter brigade to shake them down for some more instant goods~!" she mused, a hand on her chin. "Probably mix and match what we get this time, too. Most of us still should have the <<Mass Heal>> crystals that were doled out last raid, so it's probably a better idea to stock up on single-target crystals, temp buff/debuff crystals, and more specifically a few extra 'dotes. Wushen was dishing out waaay too many status effects for comfort, and a few of you were getting really damn low because of it. Between those and the VIT food that pretty much everyone is gonna stock up on, I can definitely see the others being very busy very soon."

She nodded along at the comments on the forest. "Hopefully, we don't run into anything too ridiculous over there. This is more of a mapping excursion, no?" she folded her arms. "I'm always down for a scuffle or two, but I'd rather not run headlong into an unnecessary fight if we don't have to. Though seeing you two in action might be well worth doing it at least once or twice!"

The blonde pretty much kept quiet throughout their interactions regarding presentations. While not being overly familiar with any of the present company, she did cross paths with them at some point until now.. during previous raids, events or whatever. Listening to her instincts, classifying them as dependable and competent in the matter of scouting. 
When Bahr mentioned 'grotesque monsters', Ariel suddenly replies with a involuntary "...desho?" in the sense of 'I know, right?'  

Her eyes then went to the area of the map he mentioned, she agreed with a nod that the forest area would be the best place for them to act upon. Hirru's last statement reinforcing her belief. 
To Mina, she couldn't help but grin as she replied: "If this is going to be like any of the previous scouting missions, I'm sure we'll be more than entertained. For now, I suggest we make do with what we have on ourselves in terms of consumables and such. We'll review raid specifics when we get to that step.

Setting a waypoint on the map, she set their party's next destination and dismissed the digital window. "Now how do you prefer we get there?" she asked sheepishly, in the same time slightly leaning over the bell tower and point down at the streets. "You fancy walking, taking a couple of horses and a carriage or ride a bike there?" she then pointed out at each of the transportation methods nearby while listing them.

Upon Ariel forwarding the possibility of moving forward on horseback, Bahr's expression soured (though he attempted to hide it). Memories of attempting to ride a horse with Lessa flashed before his eyes, and so too did the mebarrassment he'd felt at the time. Bahr wasn't the sort to take easily to things he couldn't fully control, and horses seemed to be one of those things. Though, he knew he'd look like a fool explaining that to the others.

"Walking sounds good. Going a bit slower and having less to pay attention to will better free us up and catch details we might miss otherwise." A likely story, and hopefully one they'd buy without too much prying. 

He set his eyes to the north. "That way, then?" he inquired rhetorically, before starting along the path leading out of town in that direction. "Let's not dawdle. Plenty of trees and leaves and wildlife to see."

At the mention of a mode of transportation, the hunter was opening his inventory to scroll to his shop setup.  It wasn't until Bahr suggested that they just walk and keep detailed watch as they go along, that Hirru put the notion way.  He didn't want to summon Liz and the Merchant for no reason, if someone was going to protest.  While looking around that the horse drawn carriages, he figured it would also be a bad idea to to have a wagon that looked like it was being pulled by nothing.  Might spook the NPCs, if they could be spooked by that.  Swiping away the inventory, the hunter agreed.

"That sounds good.  It may be slower, but we don't want to miss out on anything that could help.  Quests that could be on the floor and such need to be documented too." 

Rolling out, they would pass down the main roads leading north towards a prairie field.  The road leading to the Fire Forest was well used, as the trodden path was devoid of much plant life from the constant foot travel.  Carriages would pass them coming to and from places that they could not see.  The path carried fairly sparse coverage from the sun, except for a few trees dispersed along the sides of the path.  Though, it could be said that the path seemed to more wind around the trees.  Not as straight as it would seem.

Whatever conversation that was brought up would probably go over Hirru's head, unless he was spoken to directly.  He was constantly having his search skill active, the little sonar blips that would wash over him would alert him to any mobs or such that were nearby.  Though, most would be easy to deal with, he didn't want to waste energy when a labyrinth was in question.  He could of sworn though, that a horse had a quest giver marker.  Weird.

Soon, the canopy of burning red would become visible to them as they finally came closer to their destination.

"Well, there's the forest.  Now, we need to see if there is any specific areas of it that we should search more specifically."

He would say as he let his skills go into overdrive.  Detect and Reveal would start giving more detail to the sonar blips that he was getting.  Albino Black Bears in the oncoming area.  What did albino mean?  A pack of wolves with an Albino Alpha in another area a fair distance from the bears.  Hmm..  This place was something else if this albino thing was anything to be curious about.

*Side note, my attack was targeted at Bear #1, I forgor to put it in the roll deets q.q

Violet shrugged, tilting her head. "Never been on one before, so this is a day of firsts for me." she sighed, reaching up to scratch her familiar underneath her chin. She let out a quiet snort at the suggestion of riding on a vehicle, the idea not even remotely appealing for her. "I'd rather leg it, if I'm being completely honest." she folded her arms over her chest, "I want to enjoy our little trek, even if we end up getting slapped around like a bunch of paper dolls. Its been way too long since I've gone hiking."

Their little foray into the woods hadn't gone on for longer than a minute before Hirru had pointed out a pair of Albino... Black Bears..?? "That... huh, that's an interesting way to do it, <<Cardinal>>." She calmly drew her blade, the hilt of her weapon hissing with smoke... only for her to flinch backwards as one of the bears barreled past her, and into Hirru, the wind buffeting her aside. "Jeez! Watch yourself, Greenie!" she shouted, before sprinting forward and slamming the pommel of her weapon into the other Bear's chin, a wave of ice and hellfire erupting across its furry body. "Ariel, Bahr, Keep it off of him! I'll do my best to deal with this one!"

Compared to the situations that took place with the raid bosses, these two mobs were barely an appetizer, for any of them.

It seemed that the rest of the group were not fans of the floor's native transportation methods. She thought it was a shame but that was only from her point of view. Complying with the rest, she followed-up afoot as they went towards their set location. Nothing worth mentioning happens until they reach the forest so she replied to Hirru's initial comment: "I'm sure the Rat and the information brokers are up to their necks on the quests and whatever new info they can get their hands on safely." she allowed herself a little smirk as her Search skill and its mods and addons gave her a heads-up as well. As she spoke, she the hilt of her recently improved katana and did a quick scan of their surrounding, slowly lowering her center of gravity... like a lioness, preparing to pounce on her unexpecting target.
"Though they probably won't go as far as going into the Labyrinth like us. They like to play it safe and delegate high risk missions like this one to us outsiders.

The attack came as expected and shortly, two angry bears came at them from the woods. Ariel went first as instructed for the second one, despite her better judgement and managed to get parried by the beast's claws. She let out a soft cursing under her breath as her katana was locked with the sharp talons. She looked in Bahr's direction, hoping for him to take advantage of the opening.

"Huh.. so they're just whi..OMPF!"

Hirru was slammed backwards a bit from the sudden hit, the bear seeming to charge past Mina and into him.  He was not expecting to be hit from the group of mobs.  Even more so, he had not been hit properly with a straight attack in some time.  It made the hunter grin in surprise.  It's not that often that he gets to heal himself up from damage taken, nor have his thorns actually do something.  He should really think about getting some elemental armor.  That way if he did get hit on the way, it would hurt more than a little pinprick.

"I'm okay.  Just worry about the creatures.  If they can ignore attackers, than I'll have a bit of fun with them too."

He would say before Ariel tried to get the second one to come after her, but the bear wouldn't have any of it.  He didn't know what Bahr was doing, nor could he see him with the huge bear in front of him.  Instead, he would give a little help to the one he knew would need it.

"Mina!  You have the AOE!  Use it!"

Violet let out a grunt of pain as one of the bears slammed headlong into her, easily sending her into one of the nearby trees. It definitely wasn't a fun start to all of this. Hirru had called out to her, saying something about getting both of the bears with an AoE attack, hoping to polish them off a whole lot faster.. She staggered to her feet, dusting herself off as she pulled lament up a bit higher. "On it, Hirru!" she called out, slipping into a crouch, before launching herself at the Bears. She stabbed into both of the bears, finishing up with her second attack by hurling the second bear in Hirru's direction.

"Oop-! Hit the deck, Hirru!" Violet called, wincing as she looked back at the greenette, sending a silent apology his way. The red claw-shaped splash on her torso was humming quietly, bloody red pixels slowly fluttering away from her body. "Ariel, Try to finish off that first one! It's really low right now!" She dropped back into a crouch, preparing herself to strike back against the bears again.

The blonde did a quick mental review of the items she had in her inventory, more specifically the armor section. While her lucky cloak was her usual travel companion during scouting missions like this, she wanted to take advantage of the relatively recent acquired «Quick Change» skill. However her split second review came out empty as she packed light, expecting a swift expedition. She felt a little annoyed at herself, lightly clicking her tongue but quickly sent the sensation into the abys as her name was called into action.

"On it!" she replied instinctively, her weapon aimed at the appointed target. 

As Ariel lunged forward, ready to strike the enemy bear with her katana, an overenthusiastic squirrel, seemingly out of nowhere, decided that this precise moment was the perfect time to drop a nut on her head from the branches above.

Distracted by the unexpected nut assault, our swordswoman lost her focus for just a split second. Her katana, instead of finding its mark on the bear, ended up swiping through the air, missing the target entirely. The bear, seemingly bewildered by this turn of events, gave her a quizzical look as if to say, "Really? A nut?"

The blonde, now slightly dazed, couldn't help but shoot a glare upward at the cheeky squirrel, which had the audacity to chatter and scold her as if it was the mastermind behind the whole affair. She would archive a mental note to contemplate the absurdity of the situation and the unpredictability of wildlife in the midst of a sword fight.

"What the.."

Hirru had to use his shield as an actual shield for a second for a second.  Not to block any damage, but to use it to keep the body of the bear from crashing into him.  Using the momentum to redirect it to another direction, hopefully more towards Bahr.  Though, as the hunter looked towards that direction, there was no one there.

"Where is.."

He would start to shout out, but spin around from the momentum and find himself nearer to Mina than the other bear.  Seeing that Ariel was having problems, she would probably need a Rally soon.  Though, it would probably be better to end this battle sooner by letting Mina burn through the mobs.  They needed to buff up after this, as there was no way they could easily continue in this regard.

"Mina, Keep it up!  Ariel!  Do you have ACC food?  We may need to buff up in a bit."

(Stun Cooldown on ABB 1 Refreshed!)

Violet grunted as the heavily injured bear hurled her into another tree, a purple error message bursting into view across her HUD as her health bar dipped dangerously close to the yellow halfway mark. The stronger, less wounded bear had flung itself at Ariel, who seemed to have a much better time dodging than she was. 'Jeez, you'd think that the wounded one would have more trouble hitting people..!' she thought, standing back up with a grunt.

She sprung forward, grabbing one of the bears with her free hand, before throwing it at the other and launching herself forward at them. Her blade glinted as she she skewered them both, before kicking the higher-health one towards Ariel once again. "Just deal with that one, I'll get the weaker one next run-around." she called out, an annoyed look on her face. "In the meantime though, get it together! They're big targets, not tiny ones!"

She would feel guilty even if it wasn't his intention, having heard Hirru's question. With one hand raised, she would silently dismiss the assumption and replied; hoping to sound reassuring: "I'm ok, just an unfortunate streak!"
Mina's words stung even more as she knew the redhead was right. With reaffirmed determination she tightened the grip on her weapon and eyed the proposed target. The bear turned its attention to Ariel, as if it sensed her predatory gaze.

As the albino bear's massive claws swiped through the air, the agile swordswoman executed a mesmerizing dance of evasion in response. Each swing of her katana parried the bear's strikes, the blade cutting through the air with precision. The albino bear, though formidable, found itself outmanoeuvred by the strategic and agile dance of defence performed by the swordswoman. The dance between predator and prey unfolded in the heart of the wilderness. 

Twice unmet, the dance grows more precarious... 

With a swift maneuver, she evaded a particularly aggressive swipe and countered with a precise strike, aiming for a vulnerable spot on the bear's flank. The katana, now enveloped in a dark flame, carried an otherworldly energy—a manifestation of the fallen enhancement that had melded with her blade.

The dark flame intensified the cutting power of her katana, leaving a trail of ethereal sparks in its wake. The bear, caught off guard by this unexpected turn, roared in pain as the enchanted blade left a searing mark. The dance of evasion turned into a dance of controlled aggression, as Ariel harnessed the dark enhancement to her advantage.

Through the shouts and clashes, there seemed to be a bit of understanding between everyone, at this point.  Through some fancy foot work and even fancier spear arts, Ariel would seem to be coming out of her accuracy issues.  Though, it did seem like something was switched out for it.  Hirru was pretty sure it was something that she could only control, so he couldn't say anything on it.  There was the issue of Mina's constantly being hit though.

"Mina, hold still for a sec!"

The hunter would call out as he still had to be within short to touching distance to his healing target.  He really wished that the system would help him out in this endeavor, but this was something he had to move around and physically do.  He would sigh as he pulled a green light that would cover his right hand as he would use his left to raise the shield up high to catch any attack that was coming their direction.  The light would flow from out from him and coil around the body of Mina before fading, and recovering her health points.

"Now hard strike 'em both!"
