Kazuya 0 Posted October 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Ryuu had accepted the quest on behalf of the entire guild. The sky was completely overcast. Now he sat on a stump just outside the west gate of the City of Beginnings, waiting for Crimson Inquisition to start showing up. 'Ugh. I didn't think they would keep me waiting this long. It feels like it has been hours.*It has only been about 20 min actually* It is sooo boring sitting here, waiting for them to show. The sky isn't even pretty to look at right now either. I prefer seeing the blue along with the clouds, not just clouds.' He started nodding off as he sat. Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 15, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Argumail showed and smiled when he saw the his friend. He walked over to him and gave him a Spartan hand shake. He pointed to a locate bar and ask him if he would like to join him for a drink. He smiled and said," Thanks for setting this for me I been ripping and running all over the place."

Ethereal 0 Posted October 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ethereal came walking into the vicinity, looking around and glancing at his map. Upon seeing two of the Inquisition's finest, Ether quickened his pace. "Ethereal, Crimson Tactician reporting." he announced himself. Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 17, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 17, 2014 The newest member L sauntered over to the location noticing the three and sighed massaging the back of his neck with one hand. "The newest member L, your new commander reporting for duty" He eye'd Kazuya and Ethreal wondering if they would object to such a new member in such a high position. Link to post Share on other sites
Kazuya 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted October 18, 2014 "Well at least this won't be too boring. I'm Kazuya, newbie. I guess I should ask for your name. What is it?" Being somewhat annoyed by the interruption of his nap, he realized that he should probably have worded his comment a bit nicer. "Sorry, um. Let me start over. I'm Kazuya, but I prefer to be known as Ryuu. I'm the Crimson Tactician you heard of and one of the only ones to equally match our leader over here in battle. It's a pleasure to meet you. Don't worry to much about staying alive. That's my job. I'll be making sure everyone, even the low level players, see tomorrow's daylight. On that note, what's your name?"

Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He smirked at his words and crossed his arms. He seemed to have good enthusiasm, something he didn't want to put down too harshly, though he normally would in most other cases. "It's good to know you like to sleep on the job" He said playfully whilst grinning sheepishly. "Like i said, I am L. It's short for my username which is Life. I think we're all ready for what's to come. I don't doubt your ability as a tactician but do try to stay away from arrogance around me. I may be new to the Guild but we've all had our own battles, after all theres a reason to why we're in the positions we're in. Wouldn't you agree?" He had a fairly deep but calming voice and spoke facing Kazuya directly seemingly neglecting the other two as if they were unimportant at that moment of time. His face seemed to relax slightly and smiled warmly "On another note, as i imagine your the leader of this operation ill digress. Do you mind debriefing us the plan?"

Kazuya 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ryuu got a little frustrated at L's remark about arrogance. "I'm not being arrogant. Don't confuse arrogance with facts. Arrogance usually deals with those who boast to put others down. I was simply giving you trust in my ability. I will warn you. Don't make that mistake again. You can call it a pet peeve of mine, but I don't like people who make assumptions like that." The red in Ryuu's eyes was starting to overshadow the blue, a sure sign that this guy crossed a line, but Ryuu wasn't one to lose his calm. In fact, his voice seemed to have remained calm the entire time even though he was angered slightly. "Anyways, now that that is out of the way, I'll give you all the run down. We should probably wait a bit longer for the other members, but if and when they get here, we will head off to find this monster. I find it unnecessary to discuss plans until we reach the creature in question, but I'll humor you all. Once we reach there, we will be divided into two teams. The first will be a team for the frontal assault, drawing most of the monster's attention. The second I have yet to place, since I can't see the monster's weapon of choice, but you can bet it will be in a rather hard area for it to reach without giving openings for the other team and vice versa. I'll give a more detailed plan once we've confirmed who else may be joining us." Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Argumail starting to be annoyed by this. "Ryuu! we understand your importance but, we are trying to accomplish something here. Life, you are a big boy now so time to wear the pants! This isn't some rinky dinky guild! This is the Crimson Inquisition. Ryuu, you will take leadership in this op." Argumail said very irritated. " Mister Ryuu and Life will be partner. Me and Etheeal will group up. Ryuu what is ghe plan of attack?" Link to post Share on other sites
Kazuya 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ryuu actually had the nerve to laugh at this. "You can always count on Argy to straighten everyone out. That's for sure. Well, don't let my words seem like animosity. So we will have Angry and E take the frontal attack for obvious reasons. While me and you, L, will sneak around to the back. Knowing that this thing is a plan, it won't give us a huge advantage, but it is an advantage nonetheless. We will attack directly after group 1, and do a feinted attack, as to give them an opening worth using. Then together we will all attack, as the monster's focus is already spread thin and repeat as needed. I know this plan will need adjustments, but those will be done on the battlefield." Ryuu stood up and yawned. Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #10 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He rolled his eye's at Kazuyas attempt to cover his pride but shut his mouth about it for the sake of the mission. "So Kazuya and I will be grouped together hmm. Could you possibly be more specific with the details? I get it if you want to go over the battle plan once we're there but wouldn't it be wise to inform those who are new here such as myself about the enemy we are facing? It's not very wise to fight an enemy we know nothing about" He looked Kazuya straight in the eyes as he spoke trying to be more upfront and realistic rather than dominating. He was also not sure about the fighting style of his comrades as that is also a major factor when it comes to battle. This was nothing serious for L but more of a test to see the worth of his guild members. Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Argumail sat there, he was a little more now. He laughed to himself and it rose louder. "Alright, I see that this is an episode of mean girls or something of that natural. Life... Ryuu I will lead this op, Prepare yourself for a debrief." He waited for everyone to sit down, he look at the two trouble makes daring them to challenge his authority. "The enemy is called a little nepent, it like a plant on legs. There HP is 3/3 to 5/5 which is mowing the lawn. But they a mass in large numbers. Ryuu define the nature of this expedition and what are we going to obtain?" Link to post Share on other sites
Kazuya 0 Posted October 18, 2014 Author #12 Share Posted October 18, 2014 "Thanks Argumail. Now, can you stop treating me like an underling, L, and listen up. Nephent come in high numbers generally, usually groups of 7-12, and attack in quick succession, making them a bit of a nuisance. It is true they are pathetically lacking in HP, but they have the numbers to make up for it. Trust me when I say numbers do have their strengths. The reason we have gathered here today is to kill them until we receive a somewhat uncommon item from one of them called the Little Nephent Ovule. It is a item used in potent medicines back in the village. Completing this quest will not only give us much needed items, but also increase our guild's standing in the village. But for each player to get the promised reward, they will have to collect an Ovule for himself. Once we each obtain one, we will return collect our reward and distribute any skill points we seem to have obtained. Is that specific enough?" Ryuu was asking a legitimate question, not trying to sound offensive. Ryuu stretched out, and noticed the way L was looking at his fellow members. He started laughing. "Yesh, you are a little rude. Questioning our fighting capabilities. I can vouch for those two, that they are quite capable and competent. You need not worry. As for myself, I'll let you learn on the job. At least your face doesn't hide your emotions. I like that. People who are easy to read are generally more honest. L, I think I can work with you pretty easily now." He stuck out his hand in a offer of a kind of respect.( a handshake) Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 18, 2014 ((A persons fighting style does not determine their capabilities. His thoughts were strictly strategical. Don't take any personal offence to my I.C [in character])) He sighed, almost cringing at his statement. "Thanks for the clarification and doing your job properly this time. Also, I never questioned their capabilities. Don't get ahead of yourself and assume you know me or the way i think. I'll be honest with you, i don't really like you. Your patronising nature puts me off despite your concern for politeness and formalities. I don't care for them nor do i care for petty squabbles for status and power. Keep that in mind the next time you threaten me. Now i'd appreciate it if you continued to progress with the leading of this mission so we can actually get somewhere, Kazuya." He completely ignored his offer for a handshake still standing firm with his arms crossed looking him in the eyes with a calm and collected expression. Anyone who patronised him got no respect in return. Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #14 Share Posted October 18, 2014 "Mr. L... Mr. Kazuya do you respect me?" Argumail asked nonchalantly. "Thank you, Ryuu, as for strategy, I recommend a the Conquer's Turn. I know that that there is a wall of trees to the east. So if we attack and retreat to those tree it will be like 300. Any objections to this plan? Mr.Ether... or how about you Mr. L.?" Argumail asked as it was protocol to see if someone had a better idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 18, 2014 "Retreating to an area clustered with trees would only hinder our fighting strength and if they're coming at us in swarms we'd only be letting ourselves become surrounded. I suggest we head for the mountains instead and make them fight in a choke point. That way they can only come at us in one direction and even set up a trap killing most of them as they attempt to make their way up the mountain by knocking one of the boulders down the hill" He looked to Kazuya to see if he would retaliate again.

Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #16 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Argumail blinked and laughed," Yeah, like 300. I swear kids these days!" He shook his head and walked away," Any other objections? If not we leave in 20!" Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #17 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He looked at his leader dumbfounded wondering if his plan even translated to him or if he even attempted to process the information. "D-Did you even listen to me.. I said mountains not forest.." Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 18, 2014 " Oh I heard what you said... A that was different was the location... and traps which is a brilliant idea. The only problem is that this is floor 1 not 7 or 4 so there's no mountains. Just hills at most. Now, don't get me wrong, it was a brilliant plan, it's you forgot the plain on which the battle was to take place... No pun intend!" Argumail poured himself a glass of Drammre, Root Beer. He sat down and looked at Life. "What matters to me is my members lives not, an a person's pride. Damn their pride! Damn my pride! What comes first is CI than who is right and who is wrong! You understand?!" Link to post Share on other sites
Life 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #19 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He nodded slowly and sighed "Don't worry about that." Suddenly it hit him. The name of this quest and previous rumours. "You want the anneal blade don't you?" Link to post Share on other sites
Argumail 0 Posted October 18, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 18, 2014 "No. I have a custom blade... I want everyone in the guild to have a nice sword. The one I will sale to increase our funds." Argumail anwered very solemnly. " Boys, Do you respect me?" He asked as he slipped his drammre Link to post Share on other sites
