Training with Boars [Open]

[Verin]

Verin was walking through the flowers with only his sword in his right hand. It had been a day since he had gotten into this world and he had decided this morning he was going for level five so he could by new equipment. Verin decide his target would Young Pittered Boar today since slimes had been too easy for him. As he walked through the flowers he saw something moving and saw not a Young Pittered Boar but a Pittered Boar at level 8, but Verin didn't get scared he took out his puppet and got ready. He stared at the boar for a few seconds before the Boar charged at him. Verin leaped out of the way but the boar was clever, as Verin jumped to the side the boar kicked at him causing damage to Verin and making him roll backwards on the ground. Verin stopped himself in the middle roll and slightly dazed charged at the boar. He slashed at the boar, which caused some damage, and then whacked the boar with his puppet doing minor damage. He dashed to get to the other side of the boar and as he was behind the boar he got smacked with some dust causing Verin to have some time seeing. Once he got to the other side he put his puppet away because it was becoming complicated to hold it in one hand. Once he put away his puppet he grabbed his sword with one hand and whipped around from the tree he hid behind and said, "Inferno Strike," causing ashes to follow behind his sword. The boar was not expecting him to use magic so it kicked up tons of dust but Verin had expected this and jumped high to clearly see the boar. "You are a smart one you are," the boar had expected Verin to jump and was prepared for it. As Verin landed he saw the boar kick at him, but Verin had expected this and dodged the attack and slashed at the boar's side. Verin retreated to behind a tree and noted the boar's health was only an eighth of the way down, Inferno Strike had dispelled and was cooling down. Verin came out from behind the tree and saw the boar facing him, ready to charge him. Verin saw the boar charging at him and in response Verin charged forward. Verin was entering his phase of madness in battle. When the boar and him were about to meat Verin moved to the boar's side allowing him to slash at the boar. But when Verin got pass the boar he was kicked in the head sending Verin flying. Verin ended up on the other side against the tree. Verin crawled behind the tree and took notice of his status. His health was at fifty percent, his mana was at eighty five percent, and Inferno Strike was done cooling down. Verin was mad with rage. Then unexpectedly the boar crashed through the trees causing Verin to stand up and cast Inferno Strike. He quickly attacked the boar feverishly not letting it get a chance to hit him. Once Inferno Strike ended he retreated behind more trees. Verin was breathing hard and was bruised and cut everywhere. He looked and saw his health had dropped to forty five percent. He then looked at the boars health and saw it was at thirty percent. Stupidly the boar disoriented from Verin's assault gave time for Inferno Strike to cool down allowing Verin to recast the spell and attack. Verin was sick of the boar and attacked like a hurricane. Verin crushed the boar in the last assault of blows but Verin was in bad shape. He took the gold and found a place for him to rest on a tree branch a very safe distance from the remains of the boar. Verin looked at his health at ten percent. He sighed and fell asleep and woke up at around four in the afternoon.

[sorano]

On her quest to explore the world of Elder Tale, Sorano had made her way into Windsor Greatwood, or to be more specific, a flower grove, which had seemed like an ideal place for her to train. During her walk through the flower grove, she had passed by several Dull Green Slimes, at least four of them, yet she was able to make quick work of them due to their low levels. The female stopped in front of a large forest, peaking through the mass of overgrown plants that she had been ambushed by monsters with every step inside, much to her disliking.
Glancing around the area, she spotted a group of eight boars, two Pitted Boars at level 6, six Young Pitted Boars at level 2, crowding around a tree. Her eyes looking up at the tree, she saw someone sleeping in the tree.

"Hey! You in the tree! You're surrounded by boars- Y'know what, forget about it, I'll deal with them myself!" Sorano exclaimed. Stepping towards the tree, she withdrew her Starter Katana, preparing to attack the boars. Holding her Katana with both hands, despite it being a single-handed weapon, she took a deep breath.

"Accel Dance!" As soon as she had used the skill, she ran for the boars, her speed increasing as she struck each of the boars. With each strike, her speed was increased. To Sorano, it had felt like time was slowing down with each strike, when in reality, it was just getting faster. As well as increasing her speed and decreasing the HP of the monsters, she also used the momentum of each strike to push them away from the tree- yet this method of attack really only worked with the Young Pitted Boars, the other two were much too hard to push, let alone kill within two or so strikes.
By the time the skill had wore off, she had defeated the Young Pitted Boars, yet the other two still remained. Not even half of their HP had been wittled down due to the female focusing on eliminating the smaller monsters first.

[Verin]

Verin awoke at the sound of the girl's voice and then the boars. He was quick on the intake and as he jumped up still on the branch he saw the girl take out the four young boars. "An Assassin class eh," Verin noticed that there were still to boars left and of the same kind as before. He look and saw his health had risen back to twenty five percent and his mana was at ninety percent. He jumped from the branch on to the ground next to the girl and brought out his sword. "I'll hold them off the best I can while your skill cools down, I'm sorry for putting you through this especially with that pretty face of yours," with this Verin takes his sword in both hands and say, "Inferno Strike." Verin then charges at the two boars and gets in between the two and starts slashing at them. He sees one of them is about to kick and in response Verin jumps into the air and slashes it's back as he comes back down. He then jumps off with his sword and hand and goes for the boar that had been kicked and goes for it's stomach. He dives his sword in and pulls it upwards. He then falls back from both boars and stops next to the girl. Inferno Strike had ended and when he had gone for the boar with the cut up stomach and it had been completely down by now. "Your skill should be ready, go ahead and attack with it and I'll cast Inferno Strike on your weapon so you can finish it."

[Kite]

RED KITE HP: 100% MP: 95%

"Prey on the weak and you'll survive. Hunt the Strong and you will LIVE"

Red walked through the tangled undergrowth, not really sure of where he'd managed to get himself. He'd returned to the grove in order to try and test out one of his new skills that he'd got after he'd left verin and Riff to try out the idea of using actions as opposed to a menu to fight.

I wonder how they're doing..... Theyre probably fine, though it would be great to meet up with them again...


And that was when he noticed that there seemed to be a lot of angry boars in the area, surrounding two players, one of whom seemed rather fammiliar

"Is that...Verin!?!"

He also noticed that Verins health had dropped to about a quater. But that didn't stop the guy from killing one of the two remaining boars. He seemed to be trying to help the other Player to take the second one down.

"Well, every little helps."

Kite shaped his hand so that his index and middle fingers were raised next to each other, causing an orb of purple mana to appear

"Nightmare Sphere!"

Kite flung the sphere towards the boar. Immediately the beast slowed, which would allow for the other player-An assassin by the look of her- to score an easy hit.

Verin sees the violet orb and says, "Kite is here he'll help from the back and I will retreat back half way and if the boars come at you while you get ready I'll cast a defensive spell to protect you and you withdraw to where I'll be." With this Verin retreats half way between the assassin and Kite. "Hey Kite, listen use Astral Torment twice on both of them, the second one is alive but wounded badly, I'm letting the girl kill them." Verin then grips his sword tightly, he felt anger at himself for getting innocent people into fights like this, but he was starting to get excited for some reason and he could feel his blood boil and he started to get the grin he always gets in situations like right now. He was trying to calm down or otherwise the situation was going to get extremely messy and he didn't want girls seeing the mess that would follow.

"Now pretty face you should be ready if not tell me and I will attack for you," Verin was waiting for the girl with the pretty face to attack the boars before they attack her with their attempt to get to him.

[sorano]

While she waited for her skill to cool down, she watched the other fight, defeating one of the two boars. She found it quite strange that a Sorcerer would use a sword instead of a staff or something similar, but still, it would have been their choice when creating their character, 'whatever floats your boat', as the saying would go.

"H-Huh?" Sorano stuttered, blankly staring at the other for a moment. She was a little confused with what he said, at least, until he started mentioning that Accel Dance was ready to use again. Just as she was about to use the skill once again, the boar was struck with an unknown attack, by an unknown player, an Enchanter, to be exact. Just what she needed, yet another person she didn't know. No matter, it wasn't important now, what was important was defeating the last Pitted Boar.

"You don't have to tell me that my skill's cooled down, I can figure that out myself..." Mumbling the previous sentence under her breath, she moved her Katana behind her back, gripping it tightly with her right hand, her left hand by her side. She began to crouch down low, watching the boar carefully, making sure it didn't decide to attack either herself or the two strangers.

"Accel Dance!" She shouts, seconds before launching towards the boar. As she slashed the remaining boar, her speed increased, making it harder for it to hit her. After several slashes, she managed to defeat it. Despite being able to avoid most of their attempts at attacking with her enhanced speed, one of them had managed to get a lucky hit, taking 25% of her HP. Hopefully, that was the last of them for a while, but still, one of her skills allowed her to see if any creatures were nearby.

[Verin]

Once the boars had been killed he walked over to where the girl was and said, "Wow, I misjudged the speed and damage you produce. I thought that I should help you by casting a boost to your weapon but I didn't need to at all." With this he starts to pick up the gold singing the Elder Tale theme song. Once he finished picking up the gold he placed it in two piles, one for the girl and one for Kite. Verin then says bowing, "This is for saving me from my stupidity, thank you very much." Verin was sincere in his apology from the bottom of his heart, after this he sits down leaning on the tree he had been sleeping in and again starts to hum the Elder Tale theme song again while cleaning his sword with his shirt sleeve. "By the way miss my name is Verin. As you can see I'm a sorcerer that uses a sword," Verin says this smiling at the girl and then asks her, "Miss what is your name? I'd rather you as a friend then an enemy with that pretty face of yours." He continues to clean his sword and humming while waiting the girls answer.

[206]

[sorano]

While she couldn't care less about it, she began to wipe the blade of her Katana on the grass a few times, sheathing it as soon as she had finished. She then commenced to look around the area, making sure nothing else was around. Lifting her hand up, she tapped the air with her index finger, bringing up the menu. Tapping the menu option that was clearly labeled 'Skills', she then tapped the skill known as Battle Perception, activating it as she did so. Once she skill was activated, she glanced around the area once again, searching once again, turning around on the spot, she could see no monsters nearby, thankfully.

"We should be safe from any ambushes, for now at least," Sorano explained. Reaching to toggle the skill once again, she was hesitant with deactivating the skill. After thinking about it for a few moments, she instead waved the menu screen away, thinking it would be best to left the skill remain active until she was back in a safe zone. Once she was finished, she let her hand fall to her side, turning around to face the sorcerer.

"You could have picked a better place to sleep, preferably in a safe zone, but anyway..." She mumbles. After a quick glance around the area in front of her, she spoke once again.

"My name's Sorano, I'm an Assassin. And... Your friend over there? The enchanter? At least, I assume you two know each other..." Pointing at the red-haired male for a few moments, she then took a slight step backwards, lowering her hand. She wasn't exactly the most sociable person, so talking to people she didn't know- or in this case, two of them- was a little uncomfortable for her. Regardless, she always ends up getting used to it, in the end.

[Verin]

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sorano, yes Kite is my friend but I will let him introduce himself. As for my sleeping spot that was because I had just fought this big boar way above my level and it had knocked my HP down to almost dead and I couldn't make it to a safe zone so I just bunkered down to a place near me and slept." Verin could see she was uncomfortable so he wasn't the only one. Verin might be placing a cool outside but he was very nervous on the inside but he mastered the ultimate poker face in the real world incase of situations like this. "Also thanks for using that skill you just used I really don't want to face anymore monsters today their getting to be a pain even in my crazy state of mind, so again thank you." Verin then dropped to the ground and started to hum the Elder Tale theme song thinking of food and wondering when his next real meal would be. "Hey I heard a rumor about how to make your food have taste I've been wondering if it's true." Verin was starting to draw a blank, he didn't know what to talk about so he just went back to hum the theme song.

[sorano]

"Aaahh... I see. It would have been dangerous to navigate through here with low health," Sorano replied, giving the other a slight nod. The female continued to glance around the area, even though her health wasn't that low, if a monster had suddenly snuck up on the group, it would be quite a disaster, even with Sorano's Battle Perception, she couldn't see things that were behind her.
"'How to make your food have taste'? Oh, that's right! I've heard that food here tastes like soggy crackers, or has no taste at all, even if you cook it differently. I don't actually recall hearing a rumour about making it have taste, yet I do have a feeling that it might only be people with the Chef crafting class that would be able to do such a thing. But how would I know? I haven't tried the food myself, I've pretty much only eaten fruit since this madness started." Now she had talked about, she was curious about it now, did the food really taste like soggy crackers? Or have no taste at all?

"Hey how about we get out of this place and go back to Londinium, I want to be rid of the mobs and find some place cool even though that'll be a hassle since were living in a stinking rain forest." Verin suggested this putting a smile on his face trying to dispel any uncomfort around the girl and wanted to leave the place to let his mind recharge and to be able to let out the anxiety inside of him. He was reaching a wits end trying to dig out something to get the dice rolling again which he could see they obviously had stopped and were about to reach the end of the slide. "Or if you would like something different go ahead and shoot, I'm not quite able to think properly right now, it is kind of aggravating." He decided to hand the girl the chance to roll the dice while he thought to hell with it all and let go of his smile. As he waited for the girl to respond he started to let his head waver and his eyes open and close slowly. "Frick the heats getting to me," Verin whispered to himself with a small sigh.

[203]

[sorano]

"Hmm..." Sorano starts. She folds her arms over her chest, tapping her foot against the ground a few times, thinking. Sure, she wanted to train a little, yet she also hadn't explored very much of the currently explorable areas of the Unfounded Kingdom, more notably the ones with no enemy attacks, or safe-zones, as she refered to them earlier. A Young Pitted Boar appeared in her vision, rapidly racing towards the duo. Once it had gotten close enough, she withdrew her Kunai, tossing it towards the creature, gripping the end of the rope attatched to it as she did so. The rope coiled around the boar, allowing Sorano to pull it towards her and slash it a few times with her Katana until its HP dropped to zero.
"Yeah, it would be a pretty good idea to get out of here... Once those boars are taken care of." Tugging on the rope, her kunai flung towards her, allowing her to snatch it out of the air as it flew towards her. Once it was tucked away inside a pocket at her side, she pointed towards two incoming Boars. Of course, they were low-leveled and easy to deal with, they wouldn't be a problem.
"Two Young Pitted Boars, both fairly weak. Do you think you'll be able to fight against them? Or would it be too much of a risk? I don't see any other enemies, just those two." Sorano explained. Gripping her Katana with her right hand, she prepared to attack once again as the two boars began to run for the duo.

[Eonis]

Walking around in an awkward way, Himir was getting used to the extensions of his arms and legs and the feel of using his sword and shield. His shield felt like an extension of his body the moment he had received it thanks to his mastery of the shield, his sword on the other hand too some getting used to. From his past experience Himir knew that being a guardian would mean that he does little damage compared to some others such as the assassin so he thought that to start off he would tame the first monster that spawns. Luckily for him a young pitted boar had spawned in a flash of colors a good distance from him. Himir then activates his Scout ability on the young pitted boar, Himir bends down and extends his hand out hoping the creature would accept him as an ally. The young boar walks toward Himir slowly and timidly until its snout is about to touch Himir's hand, this moment lasts forever as Himir's heart was racing at a millions miles an hour, this was until the little boar had shoved its' snout into his hand. A ping had come up and Himir had seen the health bar of with the name "young pitted boar" above it. "Alright!" yelled Himir, after those precious few second of celebration Himir then began to walk around the field looking for another monster that would feel his wrath. He spotted an large boar spawning near a tree 10 meters away from his current position, thinking on how to take as little damage as possible he ordered his new companion to attack first, the little boar charged the larger version of itself and attempted to use the little tusks it naturally had for its size, immediately following, Himir charged forward and bashed the corner of his shield into the boar to disorient it just as it was about to fling the young boar far away from it's side. As soon as the shield had left the snout of the large beast it seemed unable to get it's balance for a few seconds so Himir took advantage of this and with his sword, began to bring it down on the spine of the beast in an attempt to finish it as soon as possible. After a breif moment of disorintation the adult pitted boar regained it's composure and began to charge at the bulkier target first, completely ignoring the young boar still attacking its sides. As the boar was 5 levels higer than Himir, a fatal blow would not be instant but the beast still shown signs of weakness due to the previous onslaught. The boar had now begun to push Himir slowly back with its sheer size and strength even while Himir was using his shield to defend the heavier attacks. The wolf-hair was locked into a dead locked battle with the boar that would go south very quickly if he does not finish this one monster before the others spawn.  After what seemed like an eternity, the adult boar had finally fallen as Himir's HP was at 45%, exhausted but not done, Himir saw a nearby tree that seemed like it would support his weight and climbed clumsily up the bark and found a strong branch and decided to take a break until his health bar was higher. From the first fight Himir had decided to go after the younglings when he has recovered his health well enough.

Verin looked at them, brought up his sword and then ran. He might have been low on Hit Points and Mana but he had enough to cast two spells which would allow him to slay them both easily. He quickly brought up his other hand in front of him and then thought, Barrier Spike. The ground rose in front of him and the boars hit it at full speed sending them into the air disorrented. He then quickly thought, Inferno Strike. He then jumped into the air and slashed at one with a downwards slash as he hit the ground again and then jumped again with a horizontal upwards slash. As he landed he rolled and then hopped to his feet and then raced back towards the Young Pitted Boars and finished them with one last sideways slash. He then stood upright and sheathed his sword. He looked at the girl and said. "The golds all yours Sorano and after you collect it lets head to Londinium."
