[Quest] Hiding in plain sight

[Lamenta]

"Boar, ready or not, here i go"

---

A day after she finished the quest with the Mr. Perverted Cat and Ms.Gray-haired-Girl. Lamenta wander around the quest board, she observes every available quest has been posted by some people of the land. The bard notice it now, despite having the Adventure disturb public safety back then, there is still some people of the land entrust their problem to the Adventure and hand out a good reward. There are several kinds of quest she sees on the board, there are hunt quest, grind quest, and fetch quest. She set priorities for now, for now, she needs to get used to the fighting mechanism of this world. So, she decides to ignore another quest besides the hunt quest. Suddenly, she fixed her eyes on a single quest, a quest that has been given out by a people of the land named Zuth Onyxhart, the detail of the quest are collect leather from young pittered boar and deliver it to that guy. If she remembers correctly, yesterday she notices some young pittered boar at that open field.



The bard clicks on the quest and decides to accept it. Well, for now, she knows what to do and where to go unlike before. But, she still doesn't feel confident enough to go alone. She needs a helping hand, a healer might give her more reassurance. She looks around the plaza hoping she could find a healer that has nothing to do.

So far, she didn't see any healer look alike...if she does see it, they already in a party. She changes her objective, she searches for a player who has free time on their plate.



Lamenta sees a man with full of tattoo around his body, a weird tattoo.She notices that for quite while he is yawning several times bored, and then she smiled.



'Hi there, my name is Lamenta. Do you have a minute? would you accompany me to collect some boar pelt?'

Wandering around, Fall was unfortunately lost. Whilst on his way to find work, he got back tracked after chasing what he believed to be a stray dog in an attempt to tame it. Only to find that it belonged to the local butcher, and ended up getting chased away with a meat cleaver. However, the druid still marched on to find a job. Fall needed some cash, he was about to embark on a long journey which would require better equipment before he could leave.

‘You did it again Axton, you let your mind wander and got yourself in trouble. But at least i’m alive, well for now. It's still early in the day, plenty of time’

He kicked a pebble down the bricks road with him, not knowing where to go. He stopped to look around, only to finally spot some hope in the distance. A fellow adventurer with long purple pony tails, the bard looked as though she knew where she was going.

‘Maybe she knows where the quests are, I really should go ask her’

Picking up his pace, he ran after the purple girl. Just as Fall finally managed to catch up to her, she stopped. Confused, he went to go tap her shoulder until he realized what stood before her. A quest board, packed with guests ranging from hunting to fetch quests. Just what the druid was looking for.

“Thank you” He said to girl, apparently to deep in thought to notice. Fall turned his gaze to the quests, and began to ponder which ones to pick.

‘Oh well, time to keep looking. Now I could do a fetch quest, they are simple and pay pretty well. But it can be a long journey, not to mention there can still be some danger.’ His thoughts ceased as he yawned. 'Hmm, hunting quest provide good money and useful material’  Another yawn stopped his mind. The mixture of running and reading put a toll on the simple druids mind.

His deep slow thoughts were interrupted by none other than the one who lead him here, the colorful bard was trying to offer him a something.

“Hmm, this is a good quest. I do need the leather, and the gold could pay for my new equipment.” A slight pause as he gave it thought, he never did work well with others.But he did need the help, someone to keep him from drifting off course. “Okay, sure. The names Axton by the way, but can just call me Fall if you like” He looked behind her and noticed another player close by. A very...red guardian. “She with you?”

[Empress]

Had just been wandering around the Plaza. Still a lot of folks who were worked up over being 'stuck' in this world. She wasn't all that keen on it either. But she was in no hurry to return. Besides, it is not as if you could just click your heels three times and be shot on your way home anyways. She was not smart enough for that. Or at least did not have all of the facts. She would just focus her efforts on getting stronger, carving out a life for herself here and as she was looking herself over, she certainly had a body just for that. She was glad she spent over two hours on her looks. She was always a bit of a perfectionist and this look, especially with her height, gave her quite the 'amazon' appearance. Which made her feel a tad bit proud. Though as she made her way among the people, she did realize that she was taller than most of the other women there and some of the men as well! She would keep on a somewhat stern, yet flirtatious, at least that was the way she was hoping her face came off, attitude about her as she made her way through the crowds.

Sword at her hip, shield at her back, she would be looking over her skills, trying to ponder what exactly she would have to do to bring them out. She had practiced on a scarecrow earlier and found that pressing on the UI screens were.. cumbersome at best and nigh unreliable at worst. That is when she remembered something she saw in this.. cartoon once... though the boy, she remembered, called it an anime...and rolled his little eyeballs at her. She puffed out her cheeks slightly as she got a little mad at that memory but then stopped and smirked because now SHE was living in a world similar to that, eat that, nerdling. She giggled to herself and when it began to draw some eyes, she cleared her throat and made her way to where some folks were gathering at.

The quest board. Hub of the 'Get off your ass and do something' activities. She was certainly on the low side, when it came to currency, so she would have to resort to 'normal' work, muggings, sneaking into houses for a bit of cat burglary or questing. She thought it over for a second, but her sense of justice wouldn't allow her to 'rob' someone. Maybe best them in a duel, but robbing was straight out of the picture unless she got horribly desperate. As she was having this moral quandary she would be motioned to by... a hobo?

"Excuse me.. are you talking to me?" She asks as she leaned over a bit, taller than the both of them as she looked between them and then looked down to their UI's, seeing the quest, she would hmm, and look to the board, selecting the quest. 'Killing a few boars? Well that should be easy enough.' She thought to herself before she then quickly eye's their status screens. 'A druid, could be nice for CC and some healing and.. a bard? I thought they were primarily support?' She looked the bard over 'Nope, no weapons, so this will be tricky. Why doesn't she have a weapon?' She sighed and rubbed the back of her head before focusing on them again, a smile coming to her face "Are you looking for a party for this quest?" She asks, pointing to the board as she looked between them both.

[Lamenta]

"This little girl is confused, okay!"

---

The last question from the tattooed man in front of her caught her off guard. An amazon type of girl who stands tall with her voluptuous body stand behind her with her confuses look due to the man question. Her hair is flowing past her shoulder with her bright red color. She looks like has a pack of confidence inside her on the way she stands. Secretly, The bard admires her in first sight, she always wanted to be like the woman in front of her.



Suddenly, she caught herself staring at the Red Guardian longingly and sway her head to the different direction , focusing on the board she just faces some moments ago. Until her heart calms down, she asks herself in her mind.

What's wrong with me, I love male. But why my heart skip when I see her



After some awkward moment of silence between three of them, the young confused Bard clears her throat and begin the introduction.



'Err... Hi there, my name is Lamenta.'

Suddenly, everything becomes awkward at least for her when she tried to introduce herself. It feels like her tongue just got tied and don't know what to say next. A bead of sweat rolls down behind her neck, she makes sure that the Red Guardian didn't notice that she is nervous.

This is totally unlike herself, being bashful was never been Lamenta's nor Ame's traits.

The bard took a deep breath and calm herself down, thinking of her as a bunny, suddenly she chuckle..if she is a pineapple, it would be a red bunny.



'Before we go let familiarize ourselves. I can be a makeshift tank, so when this lady over here is low on HP I can be the tank by luring the aggro to me'

The bard explains what she got implying that she is allowed to join their party.

Suddenly, she remembers what happen yesterday, a party will make everything easier to communicate each other. She adds the people that surround her to her friend list then to her party.



Guardians Empress and Druid Fall, both of them will be her companion on finishing this quest. she hopes they could work together really well.



'To save time, let the introducing flows on while we went to the hunting ground. I know exactly where the place is'

After Fall decided to point out the guardian, the bard decided to make things very….awkward to say the least. She just stared at the guardian, then turned away. He couldn’t help but noticed that the Bards face had turned red, along with the silence this in Falls opinion was not the best introduction herself to the guardian. 

‘Not exactly a smooth criminal now are we little bard, I was hoping that you would be the talker, but I guess I will have to take over from here.’

“Good day guardian, my name is Fall.” The druid introduced himself with a slight bow “I would be more than happy for you to accompany us on this boar hunting trip. As you can see we lack a tank and you look like a perfect candidate, if you could be so kind?”

‘uugghhh, never been good with words. Why couldn’t I have been stuck with a mute or at least someone who doesn’t get tongue tied with each sentence?’

The bard explained of here ability to become to become a temporary tank if anything were to happen to the red head, which of course would be useful if something were to happen. When young pittered boars are around, there are bound to be some grownups there as well. She then decided it would be best to save the introduction for the journey, which sounded better than standing about.

Fall looked at to see the location of the sun, it was still early in the day.

“If we hurry along we should be finished by mid-day, which will give us plenty of time to spend the evening organizing anything else we have to do” The druid explained. to his newly found companions. 

He proceeded to follow the bards lead, wondering where she planned to take them. He still wasn’t familiar with the Londinium layout as he had spent most of his time in the woods during his first days. A grave mistake as it had left him behind with many things, such as learning how quests work.

‘I still don’t like the idea of being in a group, but having two tanks around won’t hurt. I can only do so much with my current skills, and fighting isn’t exactly my specialty. Easy money is easy money as well, just hope I can afford the equipment I need by the end of the week’ He let his mind wonder as traveled to their location.

[Empress]

Empress would look the two of them over, tilting her head slightly, not even introducing herself to either of them and already the bard was talking, talking but didn't make a whole lot of sense, she would then look to the druid who introduced himself nicely to her, 'at least he didn't say m'lady' she thought. She would then look to where the druid was pointing towards, apparently because she was a guardian she was supposed to be just a moveable wall?

Soon the bard was off, walking towards their location as Empress then began to speak. "Well just in case you wanted to know without reading my status screen. I'm Empress." She says, a slight tone of annoyance to her voice as she never did like being hurried along, nor having proper introductions being ignored, she was raised to be proper and respectful after all. "As for your idea as being a secondary tank. I do not mean to sound rude, but, that's probably not the best idea." She says as she then looks Lamenta over "No offense, but as you are clearly clad in cloth armor and do not seem to have much in the way of defense, nor a weapon, I don't think you would last that long." Empress was trying not to sound arrogant, but as she was still a little miffed about earlier, it just kind of.. flowed from her.

Her head turns to the druid, her red hair, mostly ending in curls or 'drills' as some would say, shifts as she turns her head, her eye locked onto the druid. "Tell me, Fall, do you have any healing spells? What are all of your spells anyways?" She asks and then looks to Lamenta "And yours as well. If we're going to be partying together, we need to, at the very least, know what we are capable of, cooldowns, special effects, targeting, etc." Empress continued to walk as she talked, never one for wasting too much time, besides it they should be there about the time they were done or not, trying to (or at least it seems that way) take charge of the party off the bat. Which was both her natural 'leader' mindset and as she was told, one of the jobs of a tank when dealing with a situation such as a new party since she would be the one taking most/all of the abuse.

Empress couldn't help but but proudly push her chest forwards as she began to tell them of her abilities "I have two single target aggro grabbing abilities of which I have to be close range in order to use and have a five second cooldown for each. Next, if any of them try to go after either of you or try to run for it, I have an ability, Anchor Howl, that will force them to attack me, or they will suffer quite the retribution from my blade. It's either a good opener, or a 'panic button' move to use when the...'stuff' hits the fan as they say. It has a cooldown of at least 30 seconds and will cancel if I move from my spot." She says all this, calmly, without a hitch in her voice as she was moving her finger slightly up and down in front of her, obviously playing with the UI as she looks up her skills.

OOC: Lamenta, do you mind switching to using " "'s instead of ' ' when your character is talking? It's just most of the folks use ' ' when they're 'thinking' and use " " when they're "talking", it's a little confusing is all D:

[Lamenta]

"Rose are red, sky is blue, this is not a poem"

---

All of her image toward Empress which has formed initially inside her head shatter to pieces from the way she acts.She acts like an all mighty princess, forcing herself to be the leader of the group. Okay..Just to be fair, no one step up to be the leader in the first place, but the way she takes the position, she couldn't approve it. However, even though her image toward Empress has been shifted, the fuzzy feeling she feels earlier stay inside her heart and puzzled her mind. The bard decides to fiddle with that though later on.



As much as she dislikes Empress way on becoming the leader, thinking the other player. From what Lamenta assessed in the first look, Fall is not the leader type, or look like not a leader type, he is a bit like a loner. She has seen Fall's type of person in real life, one of her classmate act as he does and ignores her when she got bullied by some senior girls. While the Bard herself, she never has an experience on leading stuff in real life nor in the game. Her previous MMO she only follows people and plays with them, never voluntarily to be the leader. So, Empress is the good candidate for now.



She wants to refute her statement on how her idea as the secondary tank is a bad idea, but without any proof it just all talks no acts. Surely, she still doesn't know how far is her tanking ability reach, she never test it out, everything is just a theory of herself and hoping it would be a good pick, to startle people and gives out the element of surprise.



She keeps her smile since the beginning hoping no one notice her expression.

She opens her UI and went straight to her skill tree;

"Let see..." She read her skills set carefully, for this team works properly, we need to share things that we can and can't, it would help more on planning stuff.

"I think I will let myself describe my skill in a bit detail'



"For starter, my skills are <<Battle Conduct>>, <<Phantom Ensemble>>, and a passive skill <<Equipment Mastery:Unarmed Combat>>"



"If I use <<Battle Conduct>> there will be an exclamation point at the monster head, and they can't receive any aggro from other people other than its current target. This last in five seconds will be doubled if I raise my tempo first to Allegro or Presto. After that, I need to wait for 20 seconds until I can cast it back"



"For <<Phantom Ensemble>>, think it like this, if I cast it there will be some sort of an invisible dome with the radius of one and a half meter, When the monster gets near me there will be a chance for them to thrown back three meters away. The dome is maintained by my MP at a fast rate, I could make it slower if my tempo is in Andante or Adagio state. The cooldown for this skill is ten minutes."



Hope that information is adequate enough for the leader proxy After she thinks about it, Empress may be not entirely wrong. Her armor defense is only a paper thin, one wrong move it may be the death of her.She went up and down on her UI screen, and suddenly realized something she may forget to tell her comrades something.



"Oh yeah, I also an Idol with a skill called <<Showtime>>, in a battle, it gives an effect of increasing monster aggro to a person I choose"



She shares all of her skills while walking until she notices that her destination close near.Although it was near there is still some quite a distance and there is still no boar at sight that can be seen from this spot, the young female bard took a bit detour to gives Fall time on explaining his ability, and to get to know other better.

After the druid introduced himself, the female guardian stood there few a seconds. Not long after introducing herself to be Empress. Fall found that she was definitely a very straight forward type and honest about her opinion, despite Fall disagreeing with them he decided not to go too much into detail. He could tell by her facial expressions and tone that it was intended to be rude. The druid did like this however, in his opinion not enough people are honest about how they feel. Regardless of disagreeing with what she said, he felt they would get along.

“I wouldn’t assume on sight that someone isn’t a tank, just because someone isn’t kitted out in full metal doesn’t mean they can’t be a tank.” Fall explained, hoping it might make sense to the guardian.

‘Hope I didn’t come across a rude, but I guess it’s better to up front and honest than just sit about.’

The empress proceeded to question the druid as they walked down the cobble road, he started explaining his abilities and the reasons behind his combinations. It was a very good question as if the three were going to work together, not just now, but in the future it would be good to know each other’s strengths.

“My skills are pretty simple, but they actually work well together. My first skill is called Willow Spirit, it summons vines which can binds an enemy in place whilst damaging them with thorns. Anything that tries to free it will also be damaged in the process. My second skill is to summon my Familiar Grey Wolf, which is extremely quick but only does light damage and has relatively low health. However if paired with my Willow Spirit it can attack without worry, dealing heavy damage over time. And yes, don’t worry I can heal. My two healing spells are called Earthbeat Healing and Nature's Blessings. Earthbeat Healing is very effective in combat, but can draw heavy agro. Which is why I have my Willow Spirit, so any enemies that come near will be trapped and I can retreat to a safe distance. I’m also carrying some potions with me if you need one.” The druid’s explanation was long, one of his very rare chatter box moments.

The bard explained her skills, Fall instantly spotted great combinations between her skills which would indeed make her a great tank.

“You sound much like an evasive and misdirection tank. Your ability to agro enemies, throw them away and your cloth armor will make you a very evasive tank. Whilst your skill to change enemy agro to a target of your choice will make you a great misdirection tank. Along with your unarmed skills, you are basically a musical monk.” Fall complemented her, hoping to boost her confidence. Fall had very little confidence himself, but he does what all good healers should do and heals up his team.

The Empress then explained of her abilities, basically the perfect bodyguard. Her best qualities were agro and defense, a perfect combination. Whilst Lammie could work as a tank, her ability to take direct damage was nowhere near Empresses.

“Good to know Empress, our combination is a good one. Whilst it would be nice to have some more support styled roles, this will do. It seems we have all mostly gone down the route of defense and attack, but it works.” Fall was relatively happy with his group, despite being an easy quest many things can go wrong. It just takes one high leveled grown pittered boar to ruin one’s day, they have been known to chase adventures all the way back to the Londinium Borders.

‘Why are we walking, we could have just got on mounts. Wait, do they have mounts?’

“Quick question, do either of you two have mounts? It will make our journey a lot quicker, not a problem if you don’t” Fall asked his companions. either of you two have mounts? It will make our journey a lot quicker, not a problem if you don’t” Fall asked his companions.

[Empress]

She would listen to their explanations, looking to the Bard, she would tilt her head slightly and think to herself 'Why not just become a monk then and just keep the idol subclass?' Empress shrugged to herself, not understand everyone's decisions nor wanting to know exactly why either. She would then listen to the druid, nodding her head, his setup seemed pretty a-typical from what she could remember of some guides she tried to memorize. Having chose to be a tank, she knew she had to at least try to memorize what the other classes main functions were. Being a tank or a healer in any MMO was almost always in short supply, yet high demand. She never really knew why, or would never say what she thought as to the reasons were aloud, but she liked being needed.

Looks to the druid, Fall. "If I did have a mount, I would riding on it right about now." She laughs a little and then looks around before looking to either of them. "Though since you're suggesting it, I take it that perhaps, you have one?" She would then tilt her head, wondering how many folks could even sit on a mount. Typically, at least when this was still a game, it would be one per mount, though since things were a little more realistic (if you can call a world where magic and monsters suddenly exist, realistic) then she supposes that it comes down to how many you could safely squeeze onto a mount's back.

She would pull out a map and looks around "Well how far away is this place we're supposed to be going? Once we get there I'd like to do a bit of a check to see just what we're dealing with." She says, during all of this though, she kept walking, not wanting to stop for a moment, but not wanting to run there just yet as being exhausted before they even arrived would suck. Though that being said, she did notice that these bodies, that were both them and yet not them, seemed.. stronger, faster, more capable than their normal 'human' bodies. If anything, the "Landers" as some folks call them, seemed to be almost like their old human bodies, frail by comparison and the like.

"A REBELLIOUS YOUNG GIRL"

Fallout Empress

Lamenta silently thanked on the boost of confidence that Fall just gave her. It was mean a lot for her, Fall could grasp the basic idea of the way she was built with her set of skill. She quietly nods and smiled toward the man with full of a tattoo. She guesses that she couldn't judge people by just its cover,huh.



Fall mentioning about the mount. She smiled and giggled, looks like Empress has the same though as she is. If she has the mount, she would likely ride it to the battle and shrill in excitement like a child. Other than that reason, the place is quite near, so mount won't be too effective whether they use it. Well, they don't know the fact they were close, though.



Looks like it is enough for the detour then. She turns ninety degrees and walks forward to the plain field which actually just in the sight horizon for quite a while.



"Guess mount won't be needed then" She joke a bit after arriving at the places. Looks like Empress mentioning about wanted to check something, and all that Lamenta want to do is finished it fast.



Will she wait on Empress finishing on what she wanted to do? or she could just attract that one young pittered board grazing around the greenery field.She closes her eyes thinking the possible plan and the possible outcome.

On her mind, she could attract the young pittered boar attention and while it charges on her, she could grab the nose and the belly and throw it to the back using the momentum of charges, with the outcome is that Empress will be pissed guessing from how she forcedly take in charge before.



'well I guess I know what to do'



The bard chooses the later to vent her bad mood that has been piled up since before. She cast one of her idol ability called <<Showtime!>>, a spotlight shine down from the sky to the Bard which makes the Young Boar alerted upon her existence.



"Well then boar, come and get me"

The boar charge furiously toward the bard, She took the stance on what she had planned before. Everything is matter of timing, one wrong move it would lead to damage.



Bard lock her eyes to the boar, she controls the way her breath. Matching the boar's breathing pattern, as it getting close, fluidly she grabs the nose gently with one arm and grabs it's belly with her another arm. The one that grabs the nose, it moves downward pushing its nose to the ground. While the other hand lifts it belly makes the boar got lifted and thrown away elegantly to her back. The boar let out a grunt while it was taking a damage, of course, it is not enough to make it poof away.



"Who want to be its next target?"

the boar slowly grasping its own way to stand up, it eyes painted with anger. If her feeling wasn't wrong, the anger eyes might not only be painted on the boar eye, but to one of her companion too.

"You can't throw me to the wolves, they come when I call."

Axton was glad to see a spring in Lament’s step, he hated seeing people looking glum. Fall figured the two didn’t haven’t mounts, but decided it would be worth asking regardless. Few people had mounts as they were a rather rare vanity item, as they were very useful items. The two seemed to giggle, something he wouldn’t expect from the Empress. The red head then proceeded to question if he had one.

“Yes I have one, he’s my grumpy partner and my current most loyal companion. Well…he’s my only companion at the moment, until I can improve my subclass of course.” Fall responded, the guardian proceeded to pull out a map and inspect it. Despite her looking at the map she kept walking, somehow not crashing into anyone or anything.

‘Hmm, very few people seem to have them. I’ve only seen two other with them. Guess they are rarer than I thought, probably a good thing.’ A yawn came from his mouth.

“We shouldn’t be that far away, being a beginner quest means it should be relatively close by…..and here we are.” Just as Axton went to answer the guardian they arrived at a large open field of greenery. Plenty of young pittered boars grazed in the fields.

‘What a nice sight, shame I’m we’re gonna to ruin it. But work is work….and she has already started the fight’

Before Fall could finish admiring the landscape the bard had already started tussling with a boar, using one of her subskills to attract the attention of one before throwing like a sack of crap. Whilst the druid was impressed, it would have been better to inform him of her plan before jumping straight into the action. As it seemed the boar had decided to target Fall, which was an annoyance rather than a worry.

The young boar bolted its way towards the druid, its little legs scampering across the ground. [Willow Spirit] Vines sprouted from the ground, binding the little boar in place. The vines thorns damaging his enemy, but nowhere near enough to finish it off.

“If you are gonna start the battle Lammie you might want to inform the team of your plans, understandably nothing you can’t handle. But efficiency is key after all.” Fall expressed his opinion, whilst not the biggest fan of team work it was always best to practise communication skills.

The noise had clearly attracted more unwanted attention from their wary target. Another boar raced towards the group, still nothing more than a pest. [Familiar Grey wolf] His temporary partner formed in the shape of a rather small wolf, a quick way to deal with weaker targets. The wolf circled the boar at high speeds, causing it stop in a panic. Axton signalled with his staff, his familiar stopped circling and attacked by grabbing the scruff of the boar, holding it in place.

“I’ve got two enemies trapped, feel free to finish them whenever you can Empress. Watch the pup if you don’t mind.”

Empress would begin to walk with the others, watching as they slowly came to their spot, but also watching as the Bard, who apparently thought she was built out of armor and health, which she wasn't, barreled in and was already 'all up in that'. She rubbed the bridge of her nose out of slight annoyance. 'I could understand it if she were a monk or an assassin, or hell if she had SOME weapon and armor outside of what looks like some type of cloth, but this? This was just chaos'

She walked towards the middle of the mess, not seeming to pay the boars much mind as they sniffled and snuffled through, trying to go at either the Tank Bard or the Druid. "Can't a girl just do her job?" She whispered to herself before she then clear her throat, stretch out for a few seconds, looking as if she were warming up to take a swing at golf or have a turn swinging at baseball. She would then unsheathe her sword and lets out a deep breath as she then raises her shield slightly. She would then bang the flat side of her blade against her shield, making a loud clang, like a gong before a swirling light began at her feet and then seemingly exploded out from her "ANCHOR HOWL!" She 'roared' out. Her eye glinting with a sheen of rage. Suddenly all the boars eyes were glued to her, their heads turned, sometimes even against their own will, at her direction. Empress then smirked "Now that I've got your attention boys. I think it's time for a little fun!"

With that she would look at the nearest board and slash at it twice in succession, giving it a nice X across it's side. She would then look to one of the boar's who was looking towards the Bard and raises her shield up to then BASH it, with a resounding 'KONG' against the top of it's head "Hammer Beat! I'll only tell you this once boys, I get a little mad when you're eye'ing anyone but me!" She then brings her shield back and to the side, smashing it into another boar. She had about four of them on her, taking hits occasionally from all sides, her health was dropping, slowly (thankfully) but still dropping. She'd then lock eyes (or eye in this case) with the Druid "Best start healing there lover boy." She winks to him and then her face is blocked out by a jumping boar, to which she then brings down the pommel of her sword and smashes it between the eyes "Down ye bastard!"

She seemed to be enjoying herself, slamming her shield into a boar so hard it actually is flung backwards into the air a little! Or slashing her sword across the face of another boar to make it flinch out of instinct and JUST narrowly miss trying to charge her. As she was busy trying to deal with the brunt of the boars, she notices one of the boars who wasn't able to attack her, because they were stuck in the Druid's Willow Spirit was wearing off and taking a charge towards the Druid.
