Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 16 Author #21 Report Share Posted February 16 She chose her moment carefully, watching as the pair came closer and closer to her, their movements more and more erratic the longer the fight was going. Nari had given up dodging their assaults altogether, using the shield to simply block the half-hearted strikes. There was little left in the pair, a minimal amount of energy and zealousness that seemed to be fading as each second ticked by, barely keeping up the anger that had spurned them on mere moments ago. Nari could see the lingering death in their features - the acceptance that they were going to lose this fight, and there was nothing they could do about it. To her surprise, she felt a pang of pity for them. Although not human by any degree, the creatures seemed almost humanistic in their reactions and actions. Even as Nari raised her spear, bringing it around in a whirl of metal and air, she felt a pang of regret for them. She couldn't help but wonder what they would've been like in another life, if they could have been given a chance at something great. What codified decision chose them to become these husks rather than NPCs that players could communicate with, talk to, engage with...what horrors could they have avoided if they'd been designed differently? The questions were pointless, she knew, and yet she found herself unable to stop them even as her spear impaled each one and slashed along their throats before passing onwards.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 16 Author #22 Report Share Posted February 16 The first humanoid creature had frozen in place, it's health dipping even as the stunned effect had ripped across it's body. Nari had felt herself give paused as she considered the finality of the battle - barely dodging out of the way as a set of claws raked past her face. She blinked in surprise, realising belatedly that her spear strike had missed the second creature, the thing coming forwards with it's monotonous energy and drive. Even with her lack of awareness however, the thing's strikes were wide and far from their mark, leaving no sting upon Nari's skin as it failed to connect with her form. She felt herself tsk in response, the natural snapping sound of her tongue speaking more of her displeasure than any collection of words would've been able to do in the moment. Her eyes shifted to the other creature, noticing as it seemed to shake off the effect and rushed to join it's companion; fear of being alone in this fight having reunited the two faster than Nari would've originally imagined possible. She found herself on the defensive again, the few stabs she made with her spear unable to connect with anything vital or important. Even as claws raked along her form, she felt the thundering sensation of the thorns ripping outwards and impaling the fish creatures, driving into and through their bodies in a relentless manner that would eventually tear them from this world entirely.

Nari-Lanreth 0 Posted February 16 Author #23 Report Share Posted February 16 The first of the pair exploded into shards, giving a momentary pause to the assault as it's companion seemed to falter. Nari could see the confusion on it's face as it glanced towards where it's companion had stood mere moments before, as if wondering where they had disappeared to in the heat of the moment. She wondered if it had finally realised the danger in a forward assault against her, and the retaliatory measures that she implemented in order to keep the things at bay and the fight under her control. Tiring as it may be, Nari couldn't help but feel a moment of pride at what she had accomplished thus far. Not willing to linger on the moment however, she thrust her spear forwards and released the flames that had been building up within them, watching as the creature erupted in the flames that licked it's skin, before bursting into a matching plethora of shards that marked it's escape from the world around it. Sighing heavily, Nari let her shield drop slightly, leaning the spear back into her arm and taking a relaxed pose for the first time in what felt like hours. The fight finally over, she let her head fall back and her eyes close, her senses taking a break from the push they had been put through up until that moment. As if from a distance she heard the sound of a voice, registering belatedly that the NPC had approached her. She listened with a deadpan expression as the man gave his thanks, eventually offering a collection of scales - the quest's final reward, as Nari remembered suddenly - in exchange for her hard work. Without a word she took the reward, noting the completion and congratulation notification even as she turned back towards the main settlement, determined to escape from the horrid smells of the marsh into somewhere more comfortable.Combat Nari-Lanreth | Lv. 33 | P. 54 | HP [940/940] | EN [11/106] | ACC [4] | DMG [9] | MIT [179] | F.AURA [32 MIT; 16 DMG] B.Healing [+51] | STEALTH [-5] | FRSTBT [40 DMG; -1 ACC] | THORNS [72] | PARA [8+] | HM [+4 B.DMG] | +4 EN +51HP | -13 EN -2 HP Fossil Fish #2 | HP: 0/500 | DMG: 100 (+10 minor crit; +30 major crit) | MIT: 25 | ACC: 1 | EVA: 2 ID219077 | BD: 6+4-2 = 8 | <<Tech-G vs. Fossil Fish 2>> | Hit: 9x16-25 = 119 damageThread Summary Word Count: 7,221 8,942 EXP [Total] | 7,221/10x11x1 [Thread Progression] + 1,000 [Quest] 400 col [Total] Angler Scales | Perfect T3 Trinket: +1 LD, +2 Prosperity Link to post Share on other sites
