Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 #1 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Opal was up by late afternoon, she was in her own bed for a change. Yes, for a change since she had become a recruit of the Crimson Blades there was a sort of code they all had to go by and promiscuity was something she had to stop doing. She sighed as she felt lonely and cold waking up to nothing but the oversized bed she woke from. Getting matched in her basic armor and lugging around the heavy ass greatsword known as The Ifrit, she walked outside of her docile and breathed in the open fresh air. She headed towards the shop district to pick up her quest, deciding that she would not allow anyone else in the guild to die, she would make it her duty to protect everyone with crystals and potions. Not another death would go by with her own watch. Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #2 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 She walked with pride as she wore the fancy recruit's cape that came with being part of the guild. As she walked by, people seemed to recognize the red garb with gold trim showing respect with a nod as she walked by them, "I guess these guys are making quite the name for themselves. I can't be respected as much as they, I haven't done anything yet..." she pouted as she turned to the alchemist's NPC quest shop. Going through the dialogue with the NPC she understood she had to collect a few things known as materials in this world, the true currency that was more important that Col. She scanned through the list while twirling her hair in her fingers and leaning on one foot. She gave a sigh, she had to extract at least two vials of blood from a boar, one from a wolf, and pick a variety of plants, herbs and fruits for the gathering of materials. After that, she had to put everything together to create a good quality potion. She nodded and set off on her adventure towards the exit of the city. Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #3 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Opal raised her blade and complained about its weight once more as she stood out in the field looking for a wild boar to skewer. She dragged the blade along the grass as she came to a lone boar who was grazing on some grass, "I thought boars ate...nevermind. WHATevs..."The little girl holding up the big sword, arced the blade as she neared the wild boar. The crimson colored blade seemed to get off a radiant burst of energy before it was dispersed, it was a mechanic she didn't quite understand at first and didn't think anything more of it. Like a novice, she swung her blade to the left side of her body as it creating a monstrous slash against the hide of the boar, it squirmed and fell over with a thud making a sickening noise as it squealed and got back up to its feet. The boar was unable to make any suddent movements as it leered at her with angry eyes. "Holy [censored]!! I [censored] hit the damn thing! Did anyone...see...that? Well, [censored] me." she looked back at the damaged boar, its brown hide showing a deep scar running along the left side of its body. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29940Opal HP: 11/11Boar HP: 4/6 BD: 8 [+2 Dmg] [Keen +3 BD Activated] MD: 1 [Miss] Edited August 30, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #4 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Opal went on the defensive as the injured boar came charging at her, "No! No! No!" she was rammed in the gut and tore the flesh as the tusk caught her and whipped her back a few feet to the right. She grimaced from the contact and The Ifrit once more pulsated with a sort of aura before dispering into the air, she was still confused as to what it was doing. Perhaps it was signaling her for something, then the blade did something different. Like a natural instinct that came over her, her honey colored eyes narrowed and she held the blade in both hands at her side. She charged at the creature and ran towards him lifting the blade over her head, it became so light...she could do anything she wanted. As she neared the boar, the heavy blade came down like crashing mateor from the sky and decimated the boar in the spine, she then swept the blade right into right side of the skull of the beast before it took the full brunt of the hit and dematerialized in an instant. She jumped up and down as the skill disengaged and felt the heavy blade once more in her hands. She was happy to have killed it in two turns. But she took some damage along the way, and needed time to recover some HP. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29941Opal HP: 8/11Boar HP: 0/6 BD: 10 [+4 Dmg] [Keen +3 BD Activated on natural roll of 10] MD: 10 [+2 Dmg]LD: 6 Basic Reward: +1 Material [Vial of Boar Blood] Edited August 30, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #5 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) She sheathed The Ifrit behind her and steered clear of the other mobs roaming around in the area. Deciding to take combat seriously, as well as her survival, she skipped around the mobs and headed towards an area where she could forage around for some fruit or herbs on the ground. Flowers were also potent devices in creating potions, she didn't have a degree in biochemistry, biology or even herbalogy, but she knew the basics due to the principels of the subjects. As she roamed the area, she squatted down in a field of flowers, there were many different kinds and she looked all around the area to find anything that could be used to help with the aid in creating a 'good' potion as was directed by the quest director. <<Flower and Herb Collecting: Patch 1>>ID: 29443 LD: 11ID: 29444 LD: 13 ID: 29445 LD: 3 <<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> Edited August 30, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #6 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) "Well [censored]! Ugh! I can't really call myself a Treasure Hunter if I can't even spot anything on the ground. None of the stuff is useless, what is this? A weed? Bleh..." Opal turned around and crawled on her hands and knees to the next patch of flowers and herbs. They seemed to radiat with a sparkle as her hiney stuck up into the air and she was scouring the tall grass for something that could be used as materials for potions. At this rate, she had better luck against the boars and wolves, at least killing them resulted in materials! Slapping the ground with her hand, she sighed in frustration and crawled some more to the next area.

Opal 0 Posted August 30, 2015 Author #7 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Opal had bent over an odd colored rose, it seemed to shimmer denoting that it was a special ingrediant. Of the six she scoured around for, she found only one item that had any use. She got up and pat her self down from the dirt and grass that she rolled around in when she was looking for flowers and herbs. There was another patch fo flowers and herbs just ahead for collection, and her health was almost at max once more which means can can give a boar another shot. Walking back towards the third patch of colorful flowers and rare herbs, she hunkered down and started to root out all the items she could use in her potion making. Her eyes needled through the weeds as she picked something up, examined it, then tossed it aside. "Deffinetly gonna increase my search and detect sk--Mother [censored]!" She stubbed her finger into the ground when she fell down on her knees getting a better look at a wild looking orchid. She grunted and her pert rear once more stuck up into the air as she looked and rooted through the grass to find anything special. <<Flower and Herb Collecting: Patch 3>>ID: 29450 LD: 5ID: 29451 LD: 12ID: 29452 LD: 20 [+1 Material] <<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> Edited August 30, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #8 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Dusting her hands off, all she was able to find was one wild flower that looked pretty interesting, other than that nothing was apparently useful in the arts of alchemy. She realized her HP had become maxed out once more and that was a good time as enemy to fight another boar and to retrieve a vial of blood from its carcass. Stretching out in the wide open world, her hands fell back down to her sides as she skittered across the field finding a lone boar to play around with. She crept up on her target, with her blade in both hands yet the boar jumped around and caught her red handed. It snorted and fumed and lunged at her from a short distance. The browning tusks came in contact with her blade as she used it as a shield to deflect the blow away from her body. "Eeeghh!" she made a sort of noise as she stumbled backwards from the weight of the blade and the pushback momentum of the boar.

Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #9 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) As the boar swung its head left and right, it seemed to want to charge straight for the young woman. She gripped the blade tight in her hands as the super charged boar came speeding towards her. With a lunge it cut across her body causing her to spin several times before plopping down on the ground and taking a mini chunk of her HP away. She grimaced slightly, not expecting to be tackled down by a pig though if we are being honest here, this wasn't the first time this happened to her. Getting up, she used Lindow's Legacy and was able to hold the blade with just one hand and her body was fixed into a position where she held it out pointing it at the boar. The blade began to glow and radiat a sort of pulsating energy as she streamed across the field towards the distubed boar. The blade thurst into the pig's head making contact, there was a pause and she held the hilt in both hands. She danced around the boar like lighting cutting the hide with several blows as it rained hell down on the creature. When she finished, she lept into the air and came down with explosive earth shattering blow that made the boar flip out. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29586Opal HP: 10/13Boar HP: 3/7 BD: 10 [+2 Dmg] [+3 BD Keen Activation] MD: 10 [+2 Dmg] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #10 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) After her flurry of attacks from the massive blade, it didn't look like the boar could take another pounding. But sure enough the stubborn pig rallied its spirit and once more bulldozed into her chest, her womanly figured bounced as she was hit by the boar for the second time by its quick charge attack. As it landed on the ground it slid to a stop chewing up the grass with its stumpy legs. Opal flicked the hair from her eyes and readied her blade, she placed one arm out in front of her, bent her knees and the blade came over top the leading arm. It felt easier to handle the blade like this than with both hands on it. She rushed for the bleeding creature and got right up to it and slashed horizontally, the blade dispersed its pulsating energy and the boar was cut along side the belly and toppled over from the slash. Giving a grunt, the woman stopped on a dime and readied herself once more to finish off the bloody boar, "Hell yeah! Two points for Opal!" she cheered to herself. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29587Opal HP: 9/13Boar HP: 1/7 BD: 4 [+3 BD Keen Activation] = 7 [Hit] MD: 8 [hit] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #11 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) The half dead boar sluggishly made its way towards the female. Her Knightly Crimson Blade came across the boar as they traded off hits. She took some damage, but she watched as the creature exploded behind her showing the world in digital fragments. Hefting the blade over one shoulder, she took a deep breath and then exhaled, "Damn, I could really use that cig right about now. That was exhausting!" She managed to find the blood vial the pig left behind as a mat, she had to fight a wolf now for wolf vial and that was gonna be harder than a boar. They were much faster than these creatures, but she might get lucky with the Cardinal system. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29588 LD: 1Opal HP: 8/13Boar HP: 0/7 BD: 6 [Hit]MD: 6 [Hit]Rewards: +1 Mat [Vial of Boar Blood] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #12 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) With the battle over, she had taken some damage from that pesky pig and sheathed her blade. Her HP had seen better days, but at least she was still alive. Deciding that maybe picking up some fruit to add a little flavor to her potion creations would come in handy. Some people liked the taste of wild fruit, so it might be a hit or not. She was a big fan of oranges herself, she loved the color as well and she loved the citrus smells and perfumes she used over her real body. Walking along the safe side of the field, she did find a rather large fruit baring tree with plenty of said fruit on the ground. She examined them one by one to see if any could be used in her crazy concoctions. <<Fruit Gathering: Patch 1>>ID: 29589 LD: 9 ID: 29590 LD: 11ID: 29591 LD: 17 [+1 Material]<<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #13 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Opal examined them one by one, but there was only one green looking one that seemed to be of any use. Shrugging her shoulders, she carried on to the next section. The grass was a little taller here so picking out the fruit was gonna be more difficult. She bent over, her hiney in the air as she shifted through the tall grass looking for big over sized fruit for her future potions. There were many big ones scattered about in this area, some wild shapes and others with equally wild looking colors, stripes and scents. She marveled at the fruit that had fallen from the mighty tree and she continued to search, something should at least be good enough to use here. <<Fruit Gathering: Patch 2>>ID: 29592 LD: 8 ID: 29593 LD: 10ID: 29594 LD: 13<<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> [10/13] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #14 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) "Well, that's rather annoying. They were all spoiled or worm eaten..." Opal got up from the grass and wondered if there was another section around. She had cleared the massive fruit bearing tree of its ripe materials and hunted around searching for something else. She wondered about her profession and the term alchemy, surely water must be used an ingrediant as well, right? Perhaps she could find some fresh spring water and make some vials of that as part of her material collection. Putting a fist into her hand, she figured it would be a good idea and looked around to for a fresh water lake or something close by. As she was traveling along the bank of the field, she did see a small pond that seemed like a good place to vial up some water. She bent over and got down on her knees and put a hand in the water as if she was collecting the liquid into a flask, this seemed to be the correct response as she watched a little bar on her HUD start to fill up. She'll have to do this a few times to collect pure water samples. <<Fresh Water Gathering: Pond>>ID: 29595 LD: 20 [+1 Material]ID: 29597 LD: 11ID: 29598 LD: 4 <<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> [11/13] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #15 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) She scrunched her nose after the last two vials showed up as polluted water. Perhaps a pond wasn't the best idea to search for fresh water. She got up from her knees and brushed herself off and strated to twirl her long black hair in her finger again looking for a place to go mat hunting. She sighed and started to walk along to her own beat. A few yards out she did spot another source of water, it was a small stream that looked refreshing and cold! She knelt down and felt the cold water rushing over her hand, she felt elated from the sensation and decided to stick her bare feet in the water to cool down. She relaxed a bit and washed her dirty feet in the rolling waters. Right now would be a good idea to gather some fresh water samples and not go skinny dipping. She rolled her eyes at the thought and got her feet out of the water. She placed her boots back on and attempted to gather the materials as she did once before. <<Fresh Water Gathering: Stream>>ID: 29599 LD: 13 ID: 29600 LD: 14ID: 29602 LD: 8<<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> [12/13] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #16 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) "[censored]!" her hot blooded nature got the better of her as she cussed loudly out in the opening, not even caring if anyone was nearby or not. She kicked the ground and fumed while she pouted and folded her arms and huffed. Angry eyes scanned the area once more, a light wind picking up over her tousling her raven hair from off her shoulders and into the wind. The breeze that swept by was cool enough to send a chill down her spine and harden her body. She had twelve HP, one away from her max and fruit scavenging and water bottling was not going well as far as material hunting. She sighed, she could get away with twelves points of HP and take on the wolf creature she needed for some of its blood. She combed the prairie for a lone wolf, they usually hunted in packs so she had to be careful what she was getting into. There was a pack nearby, they looked mean and rough and when they noticed her they scampered towards the forest but one stayed behind. She cocked a smile at it and drew her weapon, the heavy object falling to the ground in her hands, "God damnit! Still freaking heavy...Come on you ugly mut! I don't got all damn day to stand here and watch you mark your territory." Opal wound the mighty blade into an arc and hefted the crimson two handed over one shoulder. She slid into her battle stance, something Lindow used to do when he got serious in a battle. The wolf leaned down low, its stony eyes looking at her as it bared its fangs at her. It started to sprint towards the raven damsal and leapt at her, the claws of the beast slashed at her torso revealing three red hot searing scratches on her midrif. She cussed and charged in as the wolf was coming around to defend itself, the blade uplifted and slammed into the hide causing a grievous wound to the wolf's right side. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29606 LD: Opal HP: 10/13Wolf HP: 5/7 BD: 6MD: 9Rewards:-- Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #17 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) The wolf howled from the bloody gash it recieved from the strong armed woman, Opal was elated that she was able to strike it head on using the massive blade, "Thanks, Lindow..." she said openly, but the wolf was once more ready to spring back at her. She watched as the creature's hind legs took off from the ground, she ran forward and slid under the beast as it dove over her and missed her by a long shot. The wolf came down to the gound on all fours and spun around to face her. It barked several times and growled showing its pearly fangst to her in a threatening manner. Her massive blade once more pulsated with energy and lit up with a strange aura. Was this another skill activation? Taking in a deep breath, she launched herself forward with the speed of a wing djin and launched her attack. As the blade came crashing down into the earth, the streams of energy shot forth from the blade and wrapped around the wolf and converged on it slashing it to ribbons. The skill wore off and she was able to do critical damage to the mut. <<Engage Battle>>ID: 29608 LD: Opal HP: 10/13Wolf HP: 1/7 BD: 10 [+3 BD Keen Activation] MD: 2Rewards:-- Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #18 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Compared to the Boar, this wolf was a peice of cake. Opal slid forward and straightened her blade over one arm as she came forth with a powerful sweeping motion cross slash. The heavy blade came with a wide arc as it buried itself into the wolf and decimated it's body into digital oblivion. It had managed to give a deafening howl as it died. Once more the sword entrusted to her by the guild had saved her ass once again and she looked down at the highly decorated Ifrit. She was amazed after the amount of punishment it received, it still looked as brand new as ever. She was thankful to receive such a grand sword, this was originally supposed to be Lindow's. It didn't fit her right as Beoreson had mentioned earlier upon receiving the blade. But she knew it would last until she could find her way in the world and move with her own two feet. With a flick of her wrist she attempted to spin the blade with one hand as Lindow did after a Victory and ended up dropping it to the ground.

Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #19 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) The sky was turning orange over her, signaling the night time hours were coming upon her. She was thankful for that the day was almost over, she had been hunting for awhile now and came up with a few good materials to be used for her alchemy that would prove to be useful later on. She decided she would stop by one more flower patch and one more fruit tree before turning in her quest, just to see if anything else could be found there. If she had the time and patience, she would go out of her way and kill one more boar as well just to extract its blood for use in her experiments. Retracing her steps, Opal twisted a long curly strand of her hair in her finger as she walked by the tree she saw earlier. As time had gone by it refreshed its spawning points and she hunkered down in the grass and noticed that the variety of fruit had changed. <<Fruit Gathering: Patch 1>>ID: 29611 LD: 3 ID: 29612 LD: 13ID: 29613 LD: 9<<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> [11/15] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
Opal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Author #20 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Opal had once ore gone back to the field of wild flowers and herbs back towards the city safe zone. There was some nifty new looking flowers in the field as the night time closed upon her. She searched through the grass and found nothing but weeds, plants that had no significant value or just insects buzzing around her. Frustrated once more she slammed her hands on the ground and got up on her feet, she was too tired and frustrated now to even fight a pig or a wolf. She hugged her body with her arms and pouted, what a lousy day to go material hunting. Sighing to herself she might as well get the quest done and over with, collect her entitlement to her shop and end the day with a warm glass of brandy, a hot bath and some R&R. <<Herb and Flowering Gathering: Patch 1>>ID: 29616 LD: 9 ID: 29617 LD: 13ID: 29618 LD: 9<<End Collection>><<Out of Combat HP Regen: +1>> [12/15] Edited August 31, 2015 by Opal Link to post Share on other sites
