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

[tricolor_mina 0]

The bears were still standing firm, looming over the trio. Violet glanced at Ariel and Hirru, her eyes scanning the field for anything else that could cause problems for them. Her blade was spitting out smoke, a faint hiss reaching her ears. Ariel had laid into the stronger of the two bears, easily whittling it down to a sliver of health. Violet charged up a sword art, her eyes focusing on the pair of Albino bears, a feral smile crossing her face.

"Alright, lets go."

She shot forward, launching into a spinning motion, as a wave of multicolored fire bit into both of the bears. The second one went down almost instantly, letting out a pained roar as it shattered into polygons. The first one held out for a few moments, pitifully batting a paw in Violet's direction, before succumbing to the multicolored flames. She calmly swiped her blade, before sheathing it, snuffing out the fire.

"Ariel, Hirru! Good job you two~" she said brightly, folding her arms over her chest. "Hopefully we can get this going a whole lot smoother than its been going... and maybe track down bahr after he ditched us!" She was so going to be having words with the white-haired man.

Mina snuffed out the remaining of the bears' HP bars moments before extinguishing her blade, in a manner not different than how the blonde quenches her own blade. The color
 of their blaze a different tone but similarly lethal, by the looks of it. The trio emerged victorious from their battle against the pair of albino bears. Ariel nods at the fellow swordswoman's words and replied: "I'm not sure where he wandered off to... Let me take a look." she let her words trail as she pulled out the map, he slipped off and left the party during the fight. Making his tracking a lot more difficult.

Nonetheless, she decided to give it a try. 'Tracking target: Bahr' she mentally commanded, her silver eyes flaring up and amplifying their natural hue as she mentally conjured his image from recent memory. The prints of his footwear started glowing green on the ground, clearly distinguishing themselves from the rest of the party's.

"That way!" she indicated with her index, first at soil depressions then at a nearby thicket. As she takes the first steps, trying to lead the group, a sharp metalic sound triggers. Ariel carefully examines the trap on her leg that's now restricting her movement. It seems the challenge around here lies not just in the enemies they face, but also in navigating the treacherous traps that threaten their HP bars with every step.

"Watch out, there are traps laid on the ground! Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of the trapmaker or a way to disarm them safely." she added hastily, raising her hand into a halt sign to reinforce the urgency of her words.

"Excellent!  We're out of that threat.."

He would say while the two women would talk about their sneaky party member.  It was odd that the guy was with them, but not during the combat.  Even more so, he had not yet revealed himself.  Did something happen to Bahr?  He didn't know, but a quick search ping would definitely help him in that regard.  Though, it seemed that Ariel was much faster on that part, as her tracking skill would point out that he had ventured out before them.

"Tracking really does seem to help out more often than not."

He would say before Ariel quickly stopped them from moving too much.  There were traps all over.

"What do you mean there are bear traps in bear territory?  Bears set traps?"

He would joke, but not really.  He knew better that bears couldn't set traps.  Rakkuns set traps, not bears.  Setting search to maximum, he could see each and every one that was there.  Stepping well out of the way of them all, he could easily carve a path through without setting a single one off.

"Mina!  Ariel!  Follow my path!"

Violet carefully started to follow after both Ariel and Hirru, a look of concentration on her face as she kept her eyes trained on the ground. After the fiasco with the bears she wanted to make sure that nothing was going to jump out at them from nowhere. At hirru's joke regarding 'bear' traps, she let out a snicker. "I wonder what they'd set it with for people?" she mused, easily avoiding the remainder of the traps. "Maybe some rare loot? or maybe some sort of rare, tasty meal - god knows I'd fall for a trap that got set with some fresh katsudon!" a goofy smile replaced the concentration from before. "Don't worry, I've been watching my step~" she said drily, skipping along after the other two. "That was definitely much less annoying than dealing with those damn bears!"

the traps hadn't even been that plentiful, though they did look like they would deal a decent chunk of damage if any of them had been triggered. Thank goodness that they had been paying attention!

"Ariel, have you had any luck tracking that goofball yet?" she asked, tilting her head questioningly at the blonde girl. "There's no way he got that far away from us, right? He was literally right there!" The fact that Bahr had run off and ditched them was mildly infuriating, but there was nothing that they could really do about it unless they tracked him down.

Ariel let out a soft chuckle between her lips as she watched the two, listening to their banter... "I could eat." she added sheepishly as she looked to take the best route behind them, hopefully with the same amount of success at avoiding the metalic devices at their feet. Now that she knew how the contraptions looked, it was only a matter of letting the «Search» skill register them and pinpoint their locations within her field of view, at her command. A process that only took a few seconds to execute. She made sure to take a mental note, to stay vigilent in the near future for such things.

The scout's ears perked at the mention of her name at the beginning of Mina's question. She took a few glances around them, then massaged her closed eyelids afterwards, with her right hand, as she replied: "Not really, there are a few faint footsteps that lead further into the forest." she signalled with her other hand: "But I can't tell you 100% they're his." 

She would pull her map and check how much they strayed from the initial route: "For now, we are a little deviated from the original plan but nothing serious. But going that way would deviate us further."

They were all able to pass through safely, and that made the hunter's job that much better.  He didn't want to have to deal with healing over health that they didn't really need to.  Especially with the mobs that they may experience here.  There was just so much that could be done and all they had to do, was to find the entrance to the labyrinth.  Though, as they flew through the trapped zone, they had found themselves in a dark part of the forest.  There didn't seem to be as much light coming the canopy of trees.  The leaves.. they were a sickening dull red, or could they be slowly turning brown.  He could feel the droplets of water above them, and the sound and smell of rain.  There wasn't any sign of such before.

"That's.. ominous.."

His search would resonate outwards towards the surroundings to yet again find their way.  Their path had deviated, but that wasn't going to keep them from finding what needed to be found.  Even if one of their party was missing, they needed to continue on.

"It's too late to go back without finding a work around..  We should continue on, or crystal back.  I'm sure this Bahr wasn't coming with us for nothing.  He's probably scouting out the area before us.  At least, I hope so.."

Hirru continues the search
[ID: 218836][LD: 14+14= 28] Treasure Chest???

The party finds a treasure chest that has to be opened. A separate post action is required to open it.
On a CD6+, roll for its result as per standard Treasure Chest proceedures. Otherwise, the chest is actually a mimic with the following stats:
HP: (Tier * 500) | DMG: (Tier * 90) | MIT: (Tier * 40) | ACC: 3 | EVA: 3
It immediately attacks the player who attempted to open it before the party can react.
If a mimic is spawned, searching cannot resume until it has been defeated.

As he was about to walk forward, something came falling from the sky.  He felt that he had seen something like that before, but not from the sky.  Was it really falling from the sky, or the tree's canopy?  Either way, there was a treasure chest falling on top of him.

"Uh..AAAH!! *oof*"

Dust and leaves would billow out from the crash, as the hunter could be seen on the ground.  On his armored chest, was a treasure chest.

Ariel's hand instinctively gripped the hilt of her katana as she surveyed the area, her keen eyes scanning for any potential threats. The thumping noise had startled her, but her focus remained sharp. She quickly assessed the surroundings, ensuring there were no additional assailants descending upon them.

Seeing Hirru on the ground, with the fallen treasure chest on top, Ariel's mind switched into combat mode. She took a step back, creating some distance between herself and the mimic, preparing for an engagement. Her searching skill remained active, providing her with insights into the mimic's potential movements and weaknesses.

"Stand still for a moment, Hirru!" she shouted to her companion, her voice assertive yet filled with concern but loud enough in hopes of distracting the mimic's attention onto herself. She adjusted her stance and slightly lowered her weight center. Time was of the essence if she were to act as a distraction.

As she softly exhaled, Ariel's katana sliced through the air in a calculated Iai move, a technique that melded precision and speed seamlessly. The swift draw and strike were executed with such mastery that the mimic had little time to react. As the blade left its sheath and re-entered in one fluid motion, the mimic's defenses crumbled. The calculated strike proved devastating, and Ariel's weapon found its mark with surgical precision, leaving Hirru unharmed.

At best, he would feel a slight breeze of wind as the obsidian coloured edge cut through air and the mimic's hide with similar ease thanks to the phase enhancement's successful proc. Not only that but traces of poison could be observed gushing out of the cuts made by the swordswoman.

[[Note: Due to the post action required to reveal the Mimic.  Ariel's attack has been nulled]]

"Wha.."

The hunter had figured that something had come crashing down upon him.  He wasn't expecting a chest.  He definitely wasn't expecting a mimic chest.  Before he could do anything, Ariel was quick to warm him to stay down.  There wasn't much else he could do, except flatten himself out more than he already was.  Not long after did he feel the weight lift from him, before the slight force of wind that would come from the force of their blade, would blow past him.  Did Ariel unsheathe their sword to do that attack?

Giving a moment to take in that he wasn't going to get hurt by a passing slash, the hunter rolled to the side.  Quickly getting up from there, he looked around to find the threat again.  The chest was warping itself from a wooden chest into a tentacled mess.  The wooden patterns and metal bits seemed to be camouflage that it created itself.  An almost chameleon like creature, though not like Elizabeth.

The creature would let out a tentacled attack out to somewhere, but the hunter couldn't see where.  Was it towards Ariel?  Mina?  Himself?

"Mina!  Ariel!  Quickly, get this..."

Looking back, there was a problem.

"Where's Mina?!"

Before the he could get an answer, the attack flew out to strike out at Ariel.  A barbed tentacle flew out to meet her, and all Hirru could see was the massive amount of health that was lost.  Almost instinctively, the hunter stepped forward in a run to get close enough for his outreached hand to reach them.  A burst of green energy would flash out from him to her, relieving most of the damage that would accumulate.

Ariel's immediate response seemed to have the desired effect of distracting the new enemy, but the mimic's transformation sent a cold chill crawling up her spine. Its grotesque appearance, a twisted amalgamation of wood and metal, filled her with slight disgust. The mimic's tentacled form was a sight to behold, its appendages writhing and lashing out with sinister intent. As the barbed tentacle flew towards her, she instinctively braced herself, ready to defend against the impending strike. With swift reflexes, she extended her katana in an attempt to cut down the approaching appendage. However, to her dismay, the barbed tentacle coiled around her weapon, managing to strike her with enough force to deal significant damage to the blonde swordswoman. She gritted her teeth, refusing to let it deter her resolve.

A surge of relief washed over Ariel as Hirru rushed to her aid, a burst of green energy mitigating most of the damage from the mimic's attack. Grateful for her companion's aide, she acknowledged his efforts with a nod before refocusing on the looming threat.

She took a glance to scan their surroundings and searched for any sign of Mina or Bahr, but their whereabouts remained uncertain. The absence of two of their initial quartet of combatants added to the tension of the situation as well as a measure of worry gnawing at her heart. She knew that in the heat of battle, they couldn't afford to overlook any member of their party and for now... they were still in advantage, two against one. She hoped they could maintain this advantage... 
Exerting more strength into her weapon, Ariel managed to free it from the mimic's grasp. Somehow it looked like the healing effect on her had also an adverse effect on the mob's grip. Something she would take a mental note off.

Sheathing her weapon, she prepared to attack once more. Her katana sliced through the air once more in a calculated Iai strike. As the blade left its sheath, a surge of toxic venom coated the obsidian coloured steel, inflicting damage over time upon the mimic. Simultaneously, momentarily reducing the mimic's mitigation against her strike.

With the combination of her Iai strike and the procced enhancements, Ariel's attack removed a significant chunk of the mimic's HP. The swift draw, strike and return were executed flawlessly, despite the brief duration she had to plan and execute. Their surroundings seemed to hold their breath as Ariel's blade connected, the toxic venom seeping into the mimic's form while the phase effect allowed for more damage to be dealt. It was a display of both skill and strategy, as Ariel aimed to exploit the mimic's weaknesses and turn the tide of battle in their favor.

Hirru could only sigh in relief from the amount of health that he could recover for Ariel.  There wasn't much he could take, but that was worrisome.  There was quite a bit of issue with the damage properties of this mob compared to the amount that Ariel could deal out.  The hunter could sense the ringing of a burst art activation, which would probably help a bit, but that still brought a slight reprieve, if she can hit it.  So far, with a low power art, she was able to do nearly a fourth of it's health bar.  Hirru was sure she had power near equivalent to most high DPS in the front, as she normally does.  This meant that the tentacled creature could use those metal bits for more than just camouflage.  It's barbs could do nearly a third of Ariels, but Hirru can abate that by a quarter of her own.  His energy reserves were gonna take a massive hit, it this fight takes too long; but, they could easily beat it.

The scenario played out the same once more.  The writhing tentacled mass slinging out another barbed mass towards the great warrior.  This may or may not be a problem for now, but the chipping that would be ensuing would only make it worse.

"Keep the hurt on it!  I'll do what I can to abate any damage that comes your way."

He called out to her while sending another surge of energy to her.  This was all he could do.

Panting, the blonde readied herself once more, bracing for another dire onslaught from their foe. Several contingency plans ran through her mind, but for the moment, they were still holding up. However, a quick glance at her companion's energy bar confirmed to her that he was burning through it at a fast pace, all for her sake.

She closed her eyes and envisioned one of the items in her inventory as Hirru once more dealt with the aftermath of her blunder. The pristine, high-quality gray cape with various crossed-off guild icons was engulfed in a golden shine for a brief moment. Then, it turned blood red as the swap concluded successfully. The earlier insignia was replaced by a black inverted V design in the middle of the back, and the pristine fabric became worn-out material, telling the stories of countless battles. Both hers and the spartan king's, that wore it before her.

"This one is more suited for fighting." Ariel muttered with a smirk, just before launching another assault on the mimic. Her blade poised with deadly intent, she found herself thwarted by the creature's elusive movements. With a swift dodge, the mimic evaded her strike, leaving Ariel's katana slicing through empty air with a resounding whoosh. A low 'tsk' escaped her lips as she clicked her tongue but fortunately not all was lost. True, she just missed while using one of her most powerful SAs but the little confort she could take was that the trim of her newly equipped item signalled a small boost of damage for her next attack.

"That, or it took my luck when it smashed into me.."

It seemed that the creature was much more than what they thought.  Being so evasive, that Ariel's best attack couldn't hit it; or, it could very well be luck.  He wouldn't really choose to say either way, as the world around them was a game.  From what he remembered how Shield explained the everything:  the world around them was based around code and numbers.  Most of the information went over Hirru's head, but it pretty much summarized as variables that are characterized by numbers and letters.  Roughly speaking, at least.

Looking to see that Ariel was doing decently well with health, he was going to start pushing his one energy supply back up.  They really didn't have much time to relax from the bears and the traps they lay.  Little did he know that, he was probably going to be bleed dry.  A sickening screech billowed from the slobbering jaw and metallic lips of this grotesque creature.  Hirru couldn't tell, but it may have been a distraction.  It would be enough to land a fierce strike against Ariel.  Although, it could be worse.

Instead of taking the time to start recovering energy, the hunter needed to keep being a the healer he was needed for.

"I hope you can make this quick.  I can't keep healing like this."

Ariel's grip tightened on her katana as she narrowed her eyes at the elusive mimic. With a swift exhale, she channelled her focus, letting go of any lingering frustration from her missed attack.
"We have little choice, Hirru!" Ariel replied, her voice firm and resolute. "I'm counting on you to continue keeping me covered." 
Her gaze remained fixed on the mimic, ready to press the advantage and keep up the pressure. She knew that time was of an important factor, and she was determined to emerge victorious, no matter what obstacles stood in their way.

As Ariel lunged forward once more, her katana sliced through the air with precision, finding its mark with a critical hit on its joints. The mimic let out a pained screech as Ariel's blade struck true, carving a deep gash into its grotesque form.

Feeling the rush of adrenaline from her successful strike, Ariel also sensed a surge of energy coursing through her veins. The holy blessing imbued within her armor responded to her righteous fury, granting her a moment of respite as it bestowed a healing touch upon her wounds. With renewed vigor, Ariel pressed on, her determination unwavering. Each strike she delivered was fuelled by the knowledge that she was fighting not just for herself, but for the safety of her team and the success of their quest.

Until they could find Mina or Bahr, they were alone out here.  Ariel was right.  They had no choice, but to rely on each other.  Past circumstances be damned.

The mimic seemed to be stupefied, or more so becoming more sluggish.  Was it the massive attack that Ariel had planted upon the creature?  It did seem that it could still be suffering from the toxic venom from Ariel's weapon.  It was probably all of that, and such that dazed the mimic, just enough, to get it to miss it's tentacle attacks.  They seemed to be flailing about, without much direction anymore.

Hirru could finally take a moment to take a breather from healing his partner, and look into his own energy reserves.  Drawing in from himself, he swept his hand over his own arm.  A wash of yellow light would fall over it, before starting to encircle it for a bit.  Energy could be felt returning to him, but it would be some time until he was back to full.

"That should help for now, but you're right.  I'll keep the pressure off you."

Ariel deftly sidestepped the mimic's sluggish tentacle strikes, a trace of disgust momentarily showing on her otherwise focused expression. Her strikes were wearing down their foe and her latest evasive maneuver seemed to aggravate it more. With a swift pivot, Ariel brought her katana to bear once more, her gaze locked onto the creature before her. She could the weakness in its form, its desperation, and she knew that now was the time to strike. With a soft trained shout, she launched herself forward, her blade slicing through the air with deadly precision.

With a swift flick of her wrist, she aimed for a vulnerable spot on the creature's hide, aiming to deliver a decisive blow that would tip the scales of battle in their favor. She cut down once again, a significant chunk of its life bar. It went into the red zone: "Good!" she thought with a smug expression and prepared for one last strike.

They were gaining a foothold into the battle, now that the creature was becoming sluggish and tired.  It probably isn't a sustained fighter, like most other.  Ambush tactics, quick and easy are more along this creatures repertoire.  Even so, it would not take the constant hits against it lightly. 

Sending out its tendrils towards the object that it thought was the attacking Ariel, the Mimic would instead find itself attacking a bush nearby.  It was getting more and more wild in its attacks, but their trajectories were starting to become predictable.

"Almost.."

He would breath out in relief as an iridescent glow would fall over his shield.  Raising it on high, the hunter would give unto the Chaos Sister a fair damage buff.  The light would fall upon her own blade, blessing it with power.

"End the thing."
