Hunting The Bacon [Open]

[Aeon]

As Aeon began his hunt for boars as he made his way through the forest, he wasn’t so good at tracking, maybe that was because he didn’t choose the subclass, but he used his hearing to listen through the forest at the mirage of sounds.

Wind blowing through the trees and their leaves, and all the sounds which was carried along, it trying to follow any crunches as best he could.


Speaking aloud to himself he said “were are you little piggys, I kind of want to get my hands on your hides”.

Eventually coming to a clearing, Aeon looked down into a muddy hollow of a pig pit.


Aeon activated his Force Shield, the near see through blue bubble should provide him some protection if the little pig’s mommy showed up enough for him to run like hell in the other direction.


Now it came from Operation Surprise attack.


As a small pig began nuzzling its snout deep into the mud, throwing mud onto its face and pittered hide.


Opening up his grimoire he threw out one bolt into each of the 3 pigs, to get their attention.


He sparked aloud “now if I’m right that should annoy them enough to make them try to come up here of course as you little guys have to run round it, I have the upper hand”.


As the small pack of pigs tried to come at him from up the drop, they stopped turning around.


Aeon focused on one target the lead pig trying to take it out before it broke 2 metres.


As it took a beating from missiles it took a final one, in its hind were it proceeded to pop into a glorious show of gold.


The other two were clearly less happy from this, one scattered back down towards its burrow while the other continued on its warpath smashing its way through bushes. As it leapt through the air towards Aeon, as magic missiles continued to pepper it.


Its first attack seemed to glint off the Force Shield.


Aeon spoke aloud “come on you’ve got to do better than that if you want to hit me”.

As he turned giving the little piggy a kick in the hind quarter.


But as he did it seemed the pig had a plan it kicked back its legs, as its legs shot back striking, him were no man would want to get kicked especially by something with trotters.


His Health dropped and Aeon shouted “Fu***r”, as he stumbled back mumbling, about it hurting as much as real life.


The Boar turned to face him as he stumbled back, throwing up dirt and dust into the air, as it began to attempt to charge.


As he raised his grimoire to cast again, it failed it didn’t cast a bolt.

As the pig closed, it’s closed fast, before suddenly it ended up drilling its face into the ground. It had ran into a root.


Opening his grimoire yet again this time it worked a bolt shot into the flank of the pig, turning it into a shower of gold.


Aeon collapsed against a nearby tree, to rest back after what others probley would call the worst mage combat ever.

[Weegee]

A shout startled Weegee from his sleep in a tree, high above a mud pit where pigs were known to gather. Yawning as stretched and turned his body to the source of the sound, he saw a man with a book fighting a pair of pigs, and seeming to have a little bit of trouble as he got kicked, well, in a very bad place. Standing up on the branch, Weegee felt his Chi surge through his body and into his feet as he leaped high into the air, moving towards the pigs and person. "Wyvern Kick!" His voice resonated a midst the fresh sound of distant Cicadas as he landed square on the last pig that the mage seemed to have forgotten about. The kick sent it flying off to the side, leaving Weegee between it and the resting man.

Holding his hands up like mantis claws, he raced toward the pig, jumping over it to land a hefty blow in its side as it stood up. He began to move around the pig, landing a sturdy kick to its rear before hopping back a few feet. The Pig's HP was nearly depleted, however its trashing of hooves were slightly damaging, as his own health had been dropped slightly. The pig rushed headlong at him, though Weegee stood his ground until the last second, side-stepping and kicking the now dead pig into non-existence. With a sigh, he turned back towards the mage who rested beneath a tree. "You seemed to have some trouble there, so I figured it would be better to drop in rather than see you at spawn." Looking around, he made sure there were no pigs within aggro range before he sat down and watched the person carefully. His body was covered in tattoos of a design he'd never seen before. He was rather interesting, and Weegee's own tail twitched side to side in slight excitement. "So, what brings you out here on your own?"

[Aeon]

Aeon said to the young man that had ambushed the boar that had ran away, “Nice to meet you im Aeon, I came out here to make a few kills maybe test out a few things or to, you see I may look weak, well I guess that is true but I have berserker as a subclass kind of useful, the weaker I get the harder I hit and for technically having the lowest hp of any class and any race that makes it quite easy to reach, but now someone’s here I can test something”



Getting to his feet, Aeon dusted himself off, raising his cowl.



He scanned the nearby forest floor, there they were another small group of pigs, though one thing Aeon did wonder was were the big fry was waiting.



Aeon cast a small magic bolt from his Grimoire towards the lead pig.



“Kid if you want to get some kills get ready”



As the pigs charged closer, Aeon drew his sword and imbedded it into the ground, slamming his left hand onto the hilt, he said “Serpents Bolt”



Energy began rapidly flowing through his blade and into him, the pigs were closing fast around 5 seconds out, “perfect”



Electricity seemed to spark across his body then suddenly it seemed to overload with a pulse energy arced out into the sky randomly.



Blasting its way through the leaves, the scent of rapidly burning plant matter filled the area.



The bolt smashed into the ground around Aeon.



Electricity whipped up like tendrils striking the pigs with a high voltage.



It seemed they were frazzled.



Aeon shouted to the other player “your turn”

"After all you put me through, you'd think that I'd despise you. But in the end, I wanna thank you. Cause you made me that much STRONGER."

"As, interesting as that particular idea is, I do believe it's rather, difficult for you to make full use of it." He shook his head as the mage class assaulted the pigs with electricity. 'He has the blessing of a larger mana pool, but if he continually assaults foes with costly skills, he's going to find himself at the Altar much more often. At least I have my own body to rely on after my Chi is depleted.' He knew that Monks used mana as well, but it felt much better to call it Chi. "And I haven't been called 'kid' for quite some time. What are you, a forty-year old man?"

Without further hesitation he bolted across the field towards the pigs, leaping into their midst as he performed a quick 'break dancing move' where he spun on his back as he delivered kicks to the group. Sure he had put himself into a dangerous position, encircled by a number of pigs and a fair distance away from a mage he didn't know. However, if this turned into a PK event, Weegee was sure that he could close the gap and turn the tide. 'He gave me some useful advice against him, knowing that he holds the Berserker subclass allows me to know I need to end a fight with him as quickly as possible.' He kept his thoughts running as he pushed against the ground, vaulting over one of the shocked pigs to place them between himself and the mage. 'Not to mention I do have a quick way of avoiding danger, even if it requires me to take a chance with being caught in mid-use.' He braced himself to take the aggro, even though he was unsure whether or not his attacks would have had enough effect to take aggro from the mage. Oh well, he'd just have to see as he readied himself to either defend against or intercept the pigs.

[Okami]

Ever the one for dramatic appearances, and really having no other spell at the moment that hit nearly as hard, Okami let out an imperiously snap of her fingers. "Frost Spear!"

A signature move of hers. A magically crafted icicle of death, flung out of nothing and barreling it's way towards the group of boars. Cold trailed it's way off the spiraling projectile as it cannoned through the air, striking the <<Pitted Young Boars>>, spiking and tearing it's way through the flesh of those unlucky to escape it's frostbite fury. Of frostyness. Okami danced her way across the edge of the battlefield, keeping an eye on the two and their collection of very kill able cute little piggies.

One of the fine gentlemen that she shared the battle field with was cloaked, dark and ghastly and all those stereotypical wizardy outfits. If she hadn't already seen him send out a serpent's bolt, a rather favored skill of sorcerers due to it's need to provide rather helpful electrified death to your enemies, she'd have guessed he was a mage of some kind. The other player, which is built body and use of physical contact, she would have guessed was a monk...if she didn't already know how this person was.

"Oi! Weegee! It's so good to see you again~!" She called out, keeping her running distance away from the horde. The sorcerer stuck to a tried and true tactic of keeping to the farthest distance she could manage to frost spear from. Because it was a certainly smarter thing to do than run right up to the enemy as a squishy and try to cast right up front. The fox-tail was a squishy damnet. She wasn't going to just walk right up to them! She waggled a finger at him, toothy grin showing. "Teasing those cute little piggies again? Shame on you~" She accused him playfully. In her free hand was a grimoire, basic in design and print. As was expected of a beginner tome of lore and magic, but it still worked well enough for the fox-tails magical medium needs. Coming to a halt at the far reach of the parameter, she flicked the book up. It didn't glow with some kind of illumination or sparkle with reflective light. No, it was no where near the kind of level of magical grimoire. It was merely a rather old tome, bits of the pages torn and the spine starting to come undone. Though all the murder she was participating in certainly wasn't helping to stabilize it's condition.

"Gonna let loose another one soon~ Stay on your toes boys~" She yelled while keeping an eye on her cool down meter. Yes, very, very soon.

OOC: PIGGIES

[Aeon]

As pigs were getting fried and kicked, a sudden whisk of icy air passed Aeon as a spear of pure ice impaled some of the pigs. As Aeons body continued to overload with electricity and shock the remaining pig forces alive around him.

With many crackles and bangs and pops pigs were hit left right and centre.

Aeon cocked his head to see were this Ice spear had come from to see where this icy barb had been sent from and there….. There was a crazy fox tail, she seemed to be very……. Eccentric.

Aeon gripped the hilt of his blade twisting it in the earth as pigs moved in around him and the monk.

Aeon could hear leaves and branches cracking as something moved closer from behind, twisting around as he yanked his blade from the ground, he came round to have his vision meet with…..

……It was definitely there not best pleased mother of all boars, large tusks and what must be deep demonic red eyes stared into Aeon’s soul.

Next thing his arm was still swinging, as the blades metal glinted in the light it crunched hard into the boar’s right tusk.

The blade tried to jump from his grip has Aeon continued following through with the blade as it slid over the tusk. Like chalk on a black board.

Aeon twisted the angle of the sword bringing it down then up on the boar as it moved back, grazing it as it went.

The Large Boar dropped its head and prepared itself to charge through him………..

A familiar voice accompanied a rather familiar spell as he watched the boar evaporate. He sighed and shook his head as he called back to the female fox-tail who had appeared almost out of nowhere. "Well Okami, can't say it was my own fault. I had to rescue this other caster from a pig that he forgot about." The remaining pigs had circled around them as he heard the other man's blade clash against tusks. His eye twitched before he turned around, knowing just what he would find behind him. Of course, the mother, a much larger and higher leveled boar, would be there, starting its charge towards the Sorceror.

'Evaluate.' He wouldn't charge in without knowing what he was up against, and his hand flicked as quickly as it could to open the Enemy Diagnostic Screen. A basic summary of his foe was there before him, laying out its 100% HP and MP, the fact that it was Level 6, and that it possessed not one, but two skills. "Be careful with that boar! It's got a really nasty skill!" He wasn't able to continue as one of the boars knocked him down, with Weegee barely avoiding being trampled. He rolled before leaping back to his feet and kicking the nearest boar squarely between its eyes. He couldn't focus with the number of pigs around him and was unable to let the others know that the mother boar not only possessed a fast charge attack, that it could quickly make turns during, but that it also had a Gore attack to use right after. Two boars charged him as he leaped high into the air, expending Mana through his Wyvern Kick attack as he shouted down at the male sorceror. "Whatever you do, dodge the beast's Charge attack!" He hoped that his message would reach the man, since he really didn't want to see what would follow if he was hit.

[Okami]

Before she knew it, the boars had taken to surrounding them in an uncharacteristically strategic move. Which was basically anything that didn't involve running head first into whatever danger was coming for them. They were boars, for Christ's sake! Pigs that couldn't do more than just stomping around and ramming their heads into your body and looking absolutely, a hundred and twenty percent adorable! Sure, they were zeros and ones in truth, but still! Their programming should be allowing for such a thing if they were supposed to be 'realistic'! Where the hell was her immersion?

Probably taking a shower in the rain of gold and xp she was accumulating.

Her eyes scanned over the collective fuzz balls. Naturally, the largest of the lot, the mother, was the most dangerous. She was fearsome and strong and essentially a giant battering ram on tiny legs. But her children, as a collective horde, were also dangerous. The fox-tail with her high level could manage either on her own, she thought, if she was willing to aggro the horde and take some damage. The boys weren't nearly as high leveled as she was, and amusingly probably had less health points than the tiny woman sorcerer. But still, that didn't mean she wanted to do anything that would end with her crashing headfirst into the cathedrals stone slab of revival.

Eying her cool down on the mighty frost spell she'd become so acquainted with through her hunts with the little piggies. Three seconds and she'd be ready to go. Darting her vision from collective baby horde to their very angry mother, the fox-tail decided on the best course of action. Lifting up her hand and delivering an imperiously snap once the timer had hit zero, "FROST SPEAR!" She roared, sending the barreling ice spear straight for the mother boar.

OOC: Gonna murder the momma~

[Aeon]

As the boar’s closed in everyone seemed in a tight spot, the Mother boar blocked off one route.

The young ones had begun to close in from behind.

Aeon gripped his sword tight, checking his blind spots as carefully as he could.

He and the other technically held a good formation if his Serpents Bolt wasn’t still on recharge but they would have to hold out for him to be able to use that again.

In Aeon’s mind the major threat wasn’t the mother it was the youngsters, The mother would be easy to solo down with a bit of kiting involved but the youngster prevented that by blocking off a pullback route.

Aeon came up with a fast plan, feint one way, slash another and few more multi-tasking skills, of course he would leave himself exposed to the mother boar.

He hoped this small PUG team would pull off so that he wouldn’t end up bubbles like the other foes he had slain in combat.

Aeon made his move, feinting right with his blade raising left leg off the ground, as he did the pig he targeted moved back, twisting the blade round as one on the left made a lunge.

Aeon brought his foot down into the snout of the Left side pig as its second mate made an attempt to attack as well.

It let out a squeal as the blade cut into it. It was injured but still alive however.

Aeon’s force shield was helping deflect some small attacks but major ones were easy to get through it at this range.

The right one, made its jumping lunge as Aeon punched its snout at the same time.

It turned out this plan hurt more than he thought as moment of the fist, meet moment of the not so squishy snout.

But now Aeon’s back was to the Mother Pig and of course he was getting more and more worse for wear by the minute in this fight.

Aeon wondered if he could make it to the end and make it out alive this time, he wondered what it would be like in this world to be killed in action.

His comrades were fighting bravely to, he hoped though he would have the honour to have drinks after this but only time would tell.

But at least it seemed like fun to go down fighting.

From Weegee's skyward view, he had no idea that Okami had just launched a spell, one that would arrive at the same spot that both Weegee, and a charging mother boar, would arrive at together. As soon as his fete touched the ground, he felt cold. Very cold. He had felt the double impact, that rooted him in his place, even though he couldn't feel anything at first. But, much to his own surprise, he noticed a dead mother boar, a spear of ice sticking out of her head, and coming from his own chest. Not to mention that one of the beast's tusks had pierced his stomach as well.

Suddenly, every ounce of pain that his body had been too shocked to notice flooded his system, his health bar at 1% for just long enough for him to scream in agonizing pain, before crumpling and fading away with the boar. His mind was dark, but he could feel warm sunlight hitting his face, before he slowly opened his eyes. He was at the altar, where people who died would respawn. Jumping to his feet he checked his body, to make sure no scars or remnants of the attacks remained on his body, before he slumped down against a wall in a far back corner. Death was not a pleasant thing to experience, the pain of it all, mortifying to say the least. He was glad it hadn't lasted too long, as he knew he was still himself, and not someone else like the other time he had gotten hurt that badly. "Geez, Okami really is strong then."

Okami wasn't too slow an individual to realize her mistake. She could see it, as if in slow motion, her ice hurtling towards the monk as he flipped into range of it's icy destruction. The fox-tail reached out, as if she could somehow stop the spell through sheer willpower alone. It hit dead center, tearing into both fox-tail and beast in an equally brutal force of destruction. The mother boar hadn't even managed to roar it's displeasure before fading into a black silhouette, then poofing out of existence entirely, spraying into a shower of gold for the victors. But Weegee...Weegee had just enough time to let out a heart wrenching scream, letting known just the sheer pain she'd inflicted on him. And then the monk had joined his fellow victim in the abyss, poofing from existence.

"WEEGEE!!!"

Okami stood there, body shaking, eyes watering. Her hand went just another inch forward, silently mouthing 'no'...before falling to her knees, tears flowing freely. Her vision blurred, her body limp; her everything just ceasing to be as the woman cried over her friends death. For someone who cherished her friends so deeply...to be the cause of one of their deaths...hands found their way up to her watery eyes and runny nose, the fox woman in despair over the loss, if even temporary, of a friend.

That she caused.

Okami lifted a finger up and snapped it, without any real energy, willing an <<Orb of Lava>> into existence. It dropped it-self in the piggie mass, burning and boiling the digital mammals with enthusiasm. Then, with shaky legs, she pulled her-self up to her feet and wiped her face with her sleeve. The sorcerer didn't have time to deal with this, she decided; play time was over. And with that one single, powerful spell she'd wiped out the majority of the boars - with but a few scarce piglets left. She sniffed and lifted up her puffy sleeves, trying to away the fresh tears that were coming down. "I-I," she could barely form coherent sentences, "I-I'm g-going ba-ack!" Then, with a blink, she was gone, moving her way out of the range of the battle so she could call her-self back to the city.

And do everything in her vixen power to get her friend to forgive her.
