Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 15, 2015 #1 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Official topic theme: Tanzania - Serengeti and Tarangire - Lions go hunting "Well I have the materials for now, but some xp and col won't hurt" With that in mind, the self-proclaimed "Crowned Lion" Ariel is heading towards the leveling areas around the "Starting City". She slowly makes her way between the city's busy streets at evening. She wanted to continue her IRL custom of training in the evening. Except that here, in case if she did something wrong, her father won't be there to scold her. Instead a angry mob would be there, baring its fangs at her. Kind of like her father did.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Author #2 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 She let a small chuckle. She really misses the training sessions with her father, one early in the morning and one in the evening. The noon counting as her personal time. Usually during that time, she would go shopping, play some rpg games involving swordplay( the only kind she played) or training by herself. She even missed participating at fencing championships, not all the time gaining 1st place but still she would get a podium position or some kind of medal. Now the art she had practiced since little was reduced to mere numbers and algorithms in this game. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing as she still retained her IRL reflexes and rapid combat assessment. But she still would've liked to land more damage, like she did IRL, her swings and stabs were so strong and precise that her father had to change 2 training dummies in order to keep up with her moves.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #3 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 But those were all now just pleasant memories, she was at the moment stuck in this "game"... well it wasn't a game anymore since she would die once the HP bar reached 0. The better term would be ...different reality? She looked through her brain for a better term but none crossed her mind. Meanwhile she was near the "Starting City's" northern exit gates. She stopped and looked around but found no other players nearby "This place sure goes a lot quieter once it gets dark, well this way I won't be disturbed". Once she said that she started casually walking towards the closest boar field, as the moon was full, she could enjoy the night. Link to post Share on other sites

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #10 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The boar lost half the heath but was now even more agile, but still not enough.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #11 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The next target was....you guessed right yet another boar. She went at it with her top speed, but the boar started running away from her under a tree.Its true that it was a full moon, but there the boar was barely visible. She tried to stab it but struck the tree trunk instead. While pulling on her rapier the boar went and attacked her landing a clean hit.

Recovering from the hit Ariel let out a raging cry: "DON'T GET SO FULL OF YOURSELF" the extracted the rapier and stabbed the boar in its belly. Pleased to see it retreating in the shade of the tree.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #13 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 "Oh no I won't let you off the hook that easily, steak" and she tries to stab the boar but its evades and doesn't even try to attack back.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #14 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The boar continues to evade her hits, it doesn't even show a intent of attacking her.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #15 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 It appeared that the last remark angried the boar. This was one tough little fella, she got to give him that. When she missed him, stabbing one of the trees roots instead, the beast immediately attacked her dealing critical damage. "Oh you still got fight in you huh? allow me to respond to that." She then raises her arm to her forehead removing imaginary sweat.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #16 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Even after she extracted her rapier, the boar was still dodging her strikes." When did killing a little pig like this get so hard, Jesus just die already" she was almost close to her limits. She wanted to kill this little guinea pig and get the loot. That was her only desire now. Even the goal of clearing the game, faded as her focus was 100% on the little creature squirming around and evading her hits.

Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #17 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 She was now enraged, this tiny computer generated animal was mocking her. All she wanted was to put it to sleep..permanently! but the little thing was agile and kept evading her swings. After one unsuccessful swing the boar pounced at Ariel and managed to hit her on the side. ID: 6854 BD:2 MD:6 Ariel:6/15 Boar: 4/8 Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #18 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Now she just wanted to end this... but the thing kept evading her. "Is this really the extend of my skills? missing this horrible creature that hides under the shade of a tree in this full moon night? What happened with me enjoying a nice evening training:(." With that in mind she kept trying to stab the beast one more time while receiving another blow from the side. ID: 6855 BD:1 MD:6 Ariel:5/15 Boar: 4/8 Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #19 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 After 6 missed strikes Ariel was finally able to hit the boar again. But she had to get closer to it by having to walk in the shades where it laid hidden. When she got a glimpse in the corner of her eye that something was moving, she immediately turned and thrusted her rapier with godlike speed. He hit the boar in the back near the tail, but that didn't stop it from slamming into Ariel with all the momentum it gathered. They both rolled on the ground and the boar finally vanished into thousands of polygons while leaving behind only 1 boar hide (material). "After all that work you give me only this? guess you're an prick till the end, huh?" ID: 6858 BD: 6 MD:9 LD:7 Ariel: 2/15 Boar: 0/8(dead) Loot: 1 Material Link to post Share on other sites
Ariel - The Crowned Lion 0 Posted January 16, 2015 Author #20 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 She sat on the ground for a while, gazing at the moon, but also keeping a lookout for any other mob that might want to disturb her. Fortunately there were none nearby, so she continued lying on her back thinking." In the end, I guess I need to train more and get some better items. Damn mechanics, making me feel so powerless." she then raises her hand and makes a gesture as if grabbing the full moon."But I will not lose, I'll become stranger, I'll use the game mechanics to my advantage then I'll join the "Front lines", ultimately becoming a "Clearer" so that I can return to father and resume my career. After a while Ariel got up and started walking towards the city."I'll come back tomorrow". Link to post Share on other sites
