SP: F1- Stretching My Legs (Complete)

[Nathaniel 0]

"Well, I had to stop moping sometime," Nathaniel said, striding out off of the road he'd taken from the town's gate and into the grasslands. As he raised a hand to his face to block the sun from his eyes, he could see a boar standing alone in the field. The breeze stirred the long-grown grasses of the plains, and stood up against the flanks of the boar. Nathaniel strode towards it, getting within a reasonable charge distance, which also set the boar's attention on him. It turned to look at him with its angry, piggy eyes.

 

Shrugging and dropping into an unconventional stance that felt...better...than the ones he'd learned from his various teachers over the years, Nathaniel lunged towards the boar at the same time the boar began its charge towards him.

 

Battle: 10

Craft: 2

Loot: 13

Mob: 10

 

(Nathaniel HITS Boar for 3 damage)

(Boar HITS Nathaniel for 2 damage)

 

(Nathaniel has 3/5 HP)
(Boar has 0/2 HP remaining, Boar dies)

Nathaniel stabs the boar in the eye, but at the same time is rammed in the gut by the charging boar, and he is thrown back, injured, even as the boar explodes into a burst of color. Groaning in pain, he gets up, loots the boar, and stumbles back towards the road, feeling severely hurt.

 

(Gained 10 Col from loot)

 

"Damn...if the weakest things in the game hit that hard...this is gonna be a difficult game to beat." He says to himself, clenching his teeth and taking a minute to recover.

[Nathaniel 0]

After leaning against a post at the side of the road for a minute, and realizing that he's not that badly hurt after all, Nathaniel strides out into the fields again, spotting another nearby boar, and going to charge it without thinking about it or giving it a lot of time to respond.

"Maybe this time it won't be able to counterattack so well." Nathaniel grunts as he goes to attack the boar.

 

Battle: 9 (Hit, 2 damage. 1 base + 1 bonus from roll)

Craft: 1

Loot: 13

Mob: 7 (Hit, 0 damage- floor level x.5 rounded down = 0 on floor 1)

 

Nathaniel- 3/5 HP

Boar- 0/2 HP (Boar dies)

 

Nathaniel carves up the boar, slicing up the side of it and then severing its snout on the downstroke as it kicks feebly at him, trying to avoid falling down but failing to do so. Looting the boar, and regaining some confidence, Nathaniel bursts out, "Well this isn't that difficult after all! That first one must've got a lucky hit."

Stretching his shoulders, and rolling his head side to side, Nathaniel yawns, "Well, I oughta put in a couple more kills at least, gotta make my trip out here worthwhile." Taking a few strides further out into the field, Nathaniel breaks into a sprint towards the next nearest boar, going to slice off its head.

 

Battle: 4 (Nathaniel missed)

Craft: 4

Loot: 9

Mob: 1 (Boar crit-failed)

 

As the boar turns to engage Nathaniel, it steps to the side a little, blocking the angle at which he was planning to pass it, forcing him to stop mid swing and vault over the boar, coming up rolling while the boar stands there, and then turns to engage him.

[Nathaniel 0]

The boar charges towards Nathaniel, squealing and snorting as it barrels towards him, tusks glistening with spit and snot.

 

Battle: 2 (Nathaniel misses)

Craft: 3

Loot: 16

Mob: 4 (Boar misses)

 

When the boar is too close to adjust its angle of pursuit, Nathaniel rolls to the side, completely avoiding the boar, but giving himself no chance to counterstrike, but leaving them both in the same position they were in, fighting but unhurt.

 

"Dammit piggy, you need to hold still a minute." Nathaniel growled, standing back up.

[Nathaniel 0]

"Damn it to hell, you stupid pig! Are all of you so annoying?" Becoming irritated with the simplistic mob, Nathaniel yells as he lunges in to stab the boar in the neck, hopefully holding its head away from him with the blade as he does so.

 

Battle: 1 (Nathaniel misses horribly)

Crafts: 1

Loot: 19

Mob: 5 (Boar misses again)

 

The Boar lunges at the same time Nathaniel does, throwing off his angle of attack, and Nathaniel makes use of his speed to sidestep the boar's charge, keeping well away from it, but not getting a chance to even swing while in range.

 

"You've gotta be effing kidding me! You may not hit for crap, but you're taking a long time to put down..." Grumbling, Nathaniel resets his stance, preparing for the boar's charge, as it turns and barrels towards him.

[Nathaniel 0]

As the boar comes rushing in, Nathaniel braces to sidestep and counterstrike it, the boar squealing angrily and snorting the whole while.

 

Battle: 1 (Nathaniel misses horribly yet again)

Craft: 12

Loot: 16

Mob: 4 (Boar misses)

 

Nathaniel traps the boar's head in place by wedging the blade between its tusks at an angle, and the two of them stand there, locked in a press, both of them unable to move substantially.

[Nathaniel 0]

Twisting his body to the side, and throwing the boar aside as he does so, Nathaniel pulls his blade free and goes to chop downward into the boar's spine.

 

Battle: 3 (Nathaniel misses)

Crafts: 2

Loot: 13

Mob: 7 (Hit, no damage)

 

The boar slips out from underneath Nathaniel's downstroke and turns to kick Nathaniel in the knee, knocking him down and forcing him to catch himself with his hand while the boar turns to bear down on him.

[Nathaniel 0]

Dodging Nathaniel's attack, the boar springs towards his face as he catches himself, leaving little opportunity for Nathaniel to defend himself.

 

Battle: 2 (Nathaniel misses)

Crafts: 7

Loot: 6

Mob: 9 (Boar hits, deals 1 damage)

 

 

"Maybe I can just drop to my back and it'll jump over me-" Nathaniel considers, before getting hit in the face by the boar. It DOES jump over him, well, more THROUGH him, but doesn't land on top of him. Groaning in pain, Nathaniel rolls, pushing himself up to his feet.

[Nathaniel 0]

Yelling as he rolls to his feet, Nathaniel goes to stab as hard as he can into the back of the boar's neck.

 

Battle: 10 (Nathaniel hits, 3 damage, kills the boar)

Crafts: 1

Loot: 16

Mob: 3 (Boar misses)

 

As the boar stumbles and fails to dodge this time, the blade is buried halfway to the hilt in the boar's neck. The boar struggles against the blade lodged in it, squealing in anger and frustration as it tries to free itself, before stopping and exploding in a burst of color.

 

"Haha- ugh!" Nathaniel starts laughing, but cuts himself off as he doubles over in pain from the first impact he took when he came out here. He loots the money from the boar, and goes stumbling back to town.

 

(Gained 10 Col)

 

"Friggin pigs...lucky sonsa...Hate those things..." Clutching his side and sheathing his blade, he knows this is going to be a long and unpleasant time spent in this game, by the end of it.
