Ah, Sarum. The new frontier. Not so new if you go there almost every day though, which was certainly the case for the samurai Caerbannog. As some people noted, she was at Sarum so frequently that she developed a “Sarum look”. It was something like a glare, but not quite. Whenever the wolf-hair was a party of a combat party in that nearly barren wasteland, she had a very serious aura to her. It was primarily because she took her role as a tank seriously, but also subconsciously the girl was too engrossed on gaining experience points and levels. It was close to midday and the sun was at its most uncomfortable position. Everything was burning up in the expedition camp. Cool drinks could barely sit and remain cool for a whole minute, and Caerbannog certainly did not feel that good in her black ooyoroi armor. So against her better judgment and without fear of not being taken seriously, the girl equipped her vanity clothing Zankapfel which changed her appearance to that of a schoolgirl in black with crimsons accents. The defense rating was the same but she felt less clunky, though the sweat on her neck and face still felt so icky. On her belt, she had her Windsor antiqua nagamaki which the wolf-hair hoped to replace soon. As usual, the samurai went up to the quest board as soon as she walked into the camp from the road to Londenium. There were some recruiting parties but they took one look at her without even ascertaining her name, class or level and just ignored her completely. Caerbannog went over to the low-leveled parties and found them to not be so accommodating of a highbie like her; she could just synch down her level, so why were they acting like such jerks? Oh, to hell with it. Caerbannog picked a quest from the board, one that required players to just go up against Golem Sentries. Those were around level 1 to 10 so they should prove to be a good match against low-leveled or worse-geared adventurers. The samurai schoolgirl with a nagamaki on her belt stood beside the quest board with a sign overhead which meant that she was recruiting party members. But wait, wasn’t she forgetting something? From behind the board, and figure appeared to the girl’s side and it let out a cute little ‘boo!’ Scoria’s Alraune who’d run ahead earlier to look for food returned to her Auntie’s side and gave the samurai half a melon bread. Apparently, the little one had already eaten the other half. And so Caerbannog stood there with a little forest sprite beside her as she ate some melon bread. The sign about her head blinked as a beacon to those who needed a party. She would put up the quest for all to see if they approached her, and if they so agreed she would send them a party request. The Sarum combat quest read: - Incapacitate Golem Sentries Levels 1 to 5: 0/5 - Bring Golem Sentries to Camp for further analysis. SPOILER: Click to show {Golem Sentry Mob Info} Golem Sentry Levels 1-10 (1 to 5 for this thread) Artificial Life / Rock / Normal Skills: None Resistances: Weak [Earth, Water, Wind] Golems formed from rock debris.

“Soo hot~” Nari complains about the heat yet again, and again he is bare-chested and showing his tattoos though other adventurers just stare at Nari with either the “I’ll die for that body” look or the “trying to show off huh?” look, but Nari just shrugs the doubt out of him and continues to stroll down the large clearing, drinking the remains of his flavoured water (made flavoured water by adding herbs he made earlier with his gardening class), Nari looks around the groups that are starting combat expeditions and is just bluntly ignored by those assholes when he asks to join them in for some “hack and slash fun” against those boulder-heads, but it seems that there are not only Golems that can be “hard-heads” that’s for sure…, while Nari takes in to walking to the message board, seeing if he can get a Solo quest.

Noticing a girl wearing a serafuku and looks quite beautiful, then he sees her level and the weapon she was carrying “…She’s seriously strong, very strong” Nari thought just by look the way the girl’s posture while idling with the sprite-looking creature, “and for that matter, she’s a wolf hair aswell, I can smell that from her, the wolf hair features aren’t very apparent on her though I have a huge wolf’s tail and quite big wolf ears for a wolf hair, plus there permanent too” Nari sighs after having that thought and decides that he should have a little conversation the girl, before he walks up to the girl, Nari looks at the quest that is set before him:

- Incapacitate Golem Sentries Levels 1 to 5: 0/5
- Bring Golem Sentries to Camp for further analysis.

“Knocking out a bunch of Golems huh? Sounds like something I can get my fangs into~”, liking the thought of the challenge, Nari walks up to the girl and stands in front her, “I think I’ll like to join in with your quest thank you” clearly taking note of the height difference, the girl had to look up to look at Nari’s face by the way this was right that second, so Nari back up a bit so she doesn’t need to strain her neck just to see her, with his glaive attached to him by a little leather strap around his chest and didn’t bother to bring his tower shield or his platemail chestplate either, Nari stands in-front of the wolf-hair girl knowing that he doesn’t look like he’s ready for battle, but his confident face says otherwise.

[Nisha]

Nisha yawned, she had traveled quite a distance today from her last resting place, a makeshift resting place that had been in the branches of a high tree, just below the top, so she could see the stars shimmering through the leaves. Since she had entered elder tales, or more specifically had entered elder tales as this character and the spocalypse had happened, she had come to like high places. It had started with the roof of a low house, up to a tower and lately she enjoyed trees and watching stars on the digital sky passing through. Just the barely falling down had annoyed her at first, but she had defeated it by learning how to use her tail to her advantage while sleeping, tightly wrapping it around whatever branch she was sleeping on. It worked somewhat fine and her tail did not end up in her mouth after waking up, making her first move on those kinds of days to cough up whatever hairs had made it into her mouth. But today had started nicely, the sun had not shone directly into her eyes, no hairs and no birds on her lap, looking at her as if she was about to be eaten by them. And in front of all that, she even had a destination in mind of where to go, unlike most other days.

To sarum was the word in everyone´s mouth and so she had picked up what little she possessed and traveled all the way here, just to see that most of the area was already populated by groups of people and quests were a dime of a dozen in a sea of people, mostly group quests as well. Maybe she should have made a few friends first to call up and do these quests? Well, whatever, she would just randomly piiick...? She had just gone through the area and surveyed parties standing around waiting, but none of them had looked even remotely interesting. She was about to give in and just pick at random as she saw someone interesting, finally. A girl standing alone a few paces off from the rest and having a beacon blink over her head as she was searching for people to join. It was a good opportunity to... Sighing she saw someone else, someone she knew also pulling closer to the girl and decided to brave the strong winds and try it out to go and hunt or quest with a group for a while with this character, which she was stuck with she remembered. Walking up to the two people, she ignored the person she knew already and went to greet the girl first, extending her hand, if the girl wanted a handshake. "Hi there, name is Nisha, I noticed you looking for someone to quest with, mind if I tag along as well? Oh and hi, long time no see. So, what are we doing?" Nisha added tilting her head to look into the eyes of the big guy standing beside her, wondering what kind of quest they were going to do, hopefully something about battle, she did not really like collecto quests all that much.

[Scoria]

As anyone who had spent more than five minutes in this world knew, warrior was really just a fancy way of saying 'tank'. Admittedly the monk class was something of an off-tank more than anything else, but with a party of two samurai and a guardian, it was tankedytanktank tank supreme. If the party was a taco, it would be called Tank. With extra tomatoes. Tank Supreme. Mmm, tacos.

Anyway. What the party really needed was some sort of damage or dps or that sort of thing. Summoners, Sorcs, any of the weapon specialists. Heck, even an enchanter or some sort of dps tank monk type thing would do. What the party got, unfortunately, was the lumbering jackass that was Scoria, a druid. Healer with no heals, supposedly part troll, the player found himself in Sarum for reasons. Those reasons being things like "where is my familiar" and "I haven't been in Sarum for about 5 minutes, let's visit again". So here Scoria was, walking right along and deciding who he was going to troll next. The glaring adventurer had a reputation that preceded him only very slightly, as a few of the Landers that knew his face from his previous adventures steered just a few extra steps clear. He didn't particularly mind, seeing as he didn't have to move out of the way of anyone in particular and he could just walk, but his eyes caught onto a rather familiar sight. His familiar.

And of course, if his familiar was nearby, that meant that Kyuu... yup. There she was. Scoria turned to the group and casually inspected the other two as he made his way forward. Some girl who was shorter than he was and some dude that was taller than he was. It was a little unsettling how tall everyone was in this world, seeing as how Scoria had usually had a bit of a height advantage on regular folks, but perhaps it was his mistake for modeling his own character after himself. Crimson orbs flicked about until they settled on Caer, prompting a quiet and somewhat deep nod from the druid. His glare might have off-put other people, but Caer was probably used to it by now. Nisha and Narihama, individuals he did not know, got nothing more than a cursory flick of his eyes in their direction and a sharp glare. He checked the party and the quest at hand and, while he had no intention of actually fighting these things, figured he'd follow along. A small flick of his wrist signified a 'hello' to his familiar, but that was all the forest sprite got. After all, lately she was spending more time with Caer than with Scoria. And whose mp took the hit? His.

Well, it wasn't like he was jealous or anything. Scoria simply reread the quest and figured if his familiar was going to be helping (capture mission? of course she was), he might as well tag along for a bit. His eyes turned back to Caerbannog as he tilted his head slightly, attempting to convey a quiet "is it okay?" Had it been some other party, he wouldn't have bothered at all or simply forced his way in, but Kyuu was Caer and Caer was Kyuu, so he wasn't going to do that. Besides, she had taken very good care of his familiar, from what he understood, and she deserved the consideration that he meant to show her. Neither Nari nor Nisha were really registering on Scoria's radar at the moment so, while he was aware of their presence and their participation, they were just people in the crowd to him. Nothing special about them and no reason to care. It wasn't like they were Oxford and Elkeid.

Being approached by a half-naked man who was about one and a half Tobins tall was not the most terrifying thing in the world of Elder Tales, but to Caerbannog, it was close enough. The color from her face vanished when that dude called Narihama approached her and she swore that he’d beat her up or something. All he did was ask for the quest though and so she sent him a party request. Weapon ranks and player levels aside, he was still a half-naked man who was much, much taller than the wolf-hair... oh hey, fluffy ears. That offset the scariness a bit. The samurai’s expression changed slightly when a cute foxtail named Nisha appeared and asked to tag along. To that, Caerbannog nodded enthusiastically. So she then had a half-naked furry and a fully-clothed furry; sounds good fifty-fifty. When she checked the party list, TANK TANK TANK. There was no way that they’d die. Probably. If they stuck close to the camp itself, the group would encounter the lowest leveled mobs so that was a sound idea. Just stick close to the camp, chop golem limbs off and drag them all the way back to the makeshift tents. She synched down her level to 10 so that there would not be much EXP loss if they do manage to kill things either by accident or on purpose. Suddenly, Scoria. That glare was unmistakable followed by a parting sea of landers. The forest sprite looked to that direction as well, what with the connection between the druid and his summon. The young man approached the party of tanks and glared at most of them, typical. Kyuu nodded at Hourai-san, thought to give him whatever was left of her melon bread but decided against it, and then instead sent him a party request. It was up to him if he wanted to synch his level using the Teacher System, or would he be auto-synched? The samurai had no idea. Anyway, he could do whatever he wanted and the wolf-hair knew better than to order him around. Caerbannog looked at the sprite and then at the druid, then back to the Alraune whose hand she took. The samurai then nodded to the other tanks (lol so tanky) and led the way out of Sarum mostly because she knew the place and she was not sure if the other two had their fair share of adventures there. Even at Level 1, anything was possible after all; maybe they prioritized their subclasses? Who knows. Their demeanor, especially Narihama’s, did not exactly scream ‘newbie’ since he seemed so confident. Nisha was not fidgety either and seemed to know what she was getting herself into. Aside from golem sentries though, the rest of the party would have to deal with a wordless samu- “ RIGHT! “ Kyuu yelled so suddenly as a pile of rocks right outside of the camp began to take form. She just stepped out of the adventurers’ area and into the desolate road when a Level 2 Golem Sentry appeared to their right side. The spawn animation was taking quite a while and the upper body formed first before the lower body of the golem was complete. Cheater. Caerbannog could not hack its legs off. The samurai gently nudged the Alraune towards Scoria as she herself dashed forward into the sentry’s incoming punch. With the butt of her nagamaki’s hilt, she met the golem sentry’s right fist which held it in place for a short while. Even when synched, there was still a gap between her and the opponent, and her weapon itself was higher than the mob level so the nagamaki was able to withstand the blow. .: OOC Notes :.

The sudden arrival of a certain druid interested Nari, a human druid with a weird looking familiar with him, a forest spirit? A mini tree ant? What is it? , it seem as though he’s that he knew the serafuku wearing girl in front of Nari and it would seem that he was quite annoyed when he saw his familiar with the girl or was it Nari’s height that annoyed him because he was sharing glares between him?, also he was not acknowledging either Nari or Nisha that was beside him, who was also ignoring Nari for that matter, “does people really hate me that much?, huh I guess I’ll show them what I can do… Nisha included” as he thought that, even the girl was a bit harsh by the way she looked at Nari with the sudden paleness which was apparent him and him alone, “I know I’m not like Oxford or someone else who’s a guardian but does people really notice that I just don’t care about my appearance” and with that thought he sighed knowing he doesn’t need to speak or he’ll ruin more of his first impressions, by the way they were so reassured is probably that there were three “tanks”, although Nari thought he was both DPS and a Tank, but who’s caring?

The sudden change in level with the serafuku wearing Wolf hair was an understandable choice since the enemy’s aggro on the adventurer that deals the most damage, the girl in the serafuku glanced at the druid, most likely telling him to synch his level with the three of us to make it fairer on the only two level ones here, Nisha and Nari but the little Wolf hair clearly didn’t want to order her acquaintance around like an annoying and commanding queen, since the glance was not shared at the duo level ones Nari’s as right as rain.

With a slight nod from the wolf hair girl, everyone headed out into the den of giants (golems), with the serafuku wearing wolf hair leading the charge, however the wolf hair was lacking the talk or the “drive” of a leader as it seemed to Nari, however when the wolf hair seemed to notice it was just in time as everyone saw an level 2 golem sentry:

Golem Sentry
Level: 2
Type: Artificial Life
Weak: Earth, Water & Wind

Just as the Golem was materialising, the wolf haired, serafuku wearing girl yelled so loud it would of hurt Nari’s sensitive ears if it was dragged on a bit longer, upon the desolate road the wolf hair engaged the targeted golem sentry while the materialising has commenced Nari finally realising it was just her against the golem, while she successfully blocked the bone-crushing attack with the butt of her sword, without no cover nor help she blocked the attack without taking any damage, with the golem sentry’s right arm elongated, Nari thinks it’s the right time to pounce, without a word Nari used his incredible leg strength to catch up to the other wolf hair and used his momentum to punch the golems right arm away to the left side of the golem, the impact was so strong the golem was about to tumble on top of the two wolf hairs, but with the maintaining of the golems balance, he uses his uncrippled left arm and puts a lot of force into the punch, Nari barely avoiding the blow, and straying to the left side of the golem, Nari backflips onto the golems left shoulder, with some of the momentum still left inside of him, Nari supports his body weight with both of his arms and thus Nari uses both of his legs to slam them into the golems face (-6%HP to Narihama), the force has hit the golem so hard that he ends up being knocked out by that blow which resulted in the golem to slam into the ground, his legs materialized in the ground and Nari on top of the golem, “goddam my legs hurt… well that’s what I get to try and impress huh?” the thought appeared into Nari’s mind then quickly took it’s exit because of a certain couple of golems were materializing in front of the party.

“Hey miss” Nari addressed the other wolf hair, “I’ll advise you to tie this one up or something *taps the golem’s chest as he is standing on with his right foot*, I’ll go with the druid and Nisha to advance on the other two golems” and with that, Nari gets of the golem and proclaims to the other two (Nisha & the druid), “we should take care of those golems in-front while this Wolf hair deals with this golem *lightly punches the golem beside him*, let’s go!”, with or without the accompany of the druid and Nisha, Nari runs onward, towards the now fully materialized golem sentries:

Golem Sentry A
Level: 3
Type: Artificial Life
Weak: Earth, Water & Wind

Golem Sentry B
Level: 4

[Nisha]

Nisha was baffled as she looked down at her hand that was still floating in the air, kind of unappreciatively left hanging there by whoever was maybe gonna shake it, again she had been ignored to teh fullest and she did not know if she liked this feeling very much and should have just gone with her normal body. But no, she should not think like that, it would just whirl up dust she did not want around, sneezing was after all not what she felt like, more like laughing. Letting her hand sink again, she wondered why no one had said anything yet anyway, aside from that scream that was still ringing in her ears, but had barely made her twitch, she was used to it from watching her brothers games. Sighing Nisha looked around to see that another person had come and joined up, someone else with custom equipment as it seemed and also quite some levels away from both nari and Nisha. Nisha did not mind all too much though and was appreciative of getting to join any group with people who looked interesting and someone she knew. But the quietness of the person opposite of her, whose name she did not catch yet and would just call 'tsun-chan' for now after that sudden yell, as well as the other guy she did not know, 'tsun-kun', was quite... something.

Well, in a game where people were found out earlier or later to not be what they showed to be, she could see why some people would hide their voice. Just imagining the girl in front of her with a deep and raspy voice like a cowboy from one of those old western movies made her silently chuckle and imagining the dark tall guy with a silly asian high voice... Well, at least she could stiffle her laughter and tears from her eyes with a single hand over her mouth as she watched the girl and nari run off first. Getting herself under control, she wondered what they were supposed to do, but since they went over to kill stuff, it seemed fine to do the same. Nisha pondered for one more moment on the sudden outburst of the girl, who had seemed so silent before, but suddenly had gone all 'leroy jankins' on them and ran off. but then again, interesting people always came with little quirks and if anything it made them all the more cute. Grinning, she began running toward the enemy and saw another golem close to them that did not seem as big as the other. Since she was sure it was of a higher level than her, she activated her lightning armor right off the bat, if she got hit by it, she would have at least some padding to not fall over the instant it did hit. Sprinting toward the golem, she also heard the voice, thanks for saying something nari, the quiet had been worse, that someone had to tie up the golem, so they were supposed to tie them up, huh? Nisha was too lazy to read the quest and did not feel like getting out of this immersive feeling just to browse some menus and stuff, she wanted to have fun more than knowing what the hell was going on. She saw the golem react to her sprinting as it slowly moved it´s arm up, it looked like those scenes were stone doors slide open, just to crash down the next second and kill whoever was below them as a trap.

Although she was running faster than normal due to her lightning armor, she knew it would be a close shave as the golem had already begun swinging down, only one way to go then. Go deep, go safe. Smirking, she threw herself feet first into a slide below the golems fist coming down and saw the hand over her face, maybe an inch away for a split second before screeching to a halt behind the golem, wondering how it must have looked to everyone else as she disappeared under the golems fist. Getting up with a semi circular motion, she pulled out her sword and grimoire, while getting into a ducked position, her leg stretched out from her, so she could more easily jump away if something happened. Shooting a small magical bolt at the golems back and then swinging at the golems right leg. Her sword did not only not break, but it even cut deep into the leg and took even a nice portion of the golems health with it. Smirking, she spun and hit the other leg with her momentum. Seeing the golem turn toward her, she did a small roll from where she was to stay behind it and keep it focused on spinning, so the others would have an easier situation to kill the golem. Calling out to the others: "Do you need help tying him up? Also, I think he is ready for the picking, be my guest." Nisha did not much care about who took the kill and if he got more money, she wanted to feel the excitement of it more than get a reward for ending it and she knew that some people liked to kill and end stuff more, so why not fulfill both of those needs at once?

[Scoria]

Scoria accepted the party invite gracefully, noting Caer's level had dropped significantly from the last time he saw her. Ah, so this was the teacher system, was it? Very well, Scoria would participate as well. Moving through the interface, he synched his level down from 21 to 20. Yeah, that was good. He was participating in this teacher thing. Okay, okay, fine. Scoria synched all the way down to level 10 and walked behind Caer, stepping quietly and keeping an eye out on the situation. It wasn't like he was ignoring Nisha or Nari, but they just didn't interest him. His eyes were mostly on his familiar and her auntie, although he didn't miss Nisha's hand over her mouth. His eyes flicked over to glare at her, silently querying if something was funny, but he let it alone and remained in the back line as he walked.

Scoria didn't even have a moment to blink as things suddenly spiraled into action. Pulling Alraune up to his back and giving her the usual piggyback ride, Scoria watched the events unfold. Caer did her job as tank and frontline to inform the party of the golem on the right and block its intial assault, but before Scoria could even bother to do anything about it, it seemed that Nari had decided to turn into a spider-monkey. The Guardian zoomed about quickly, rapidly taking down the golem with a series of fancy attacks and flips and such. Caer hadn't been the only one to notice just how confident these players seemed to be and it seemed, at least, that Narihama's confidence was justified. Everything had been just fine up until Nari had said something that basically implied Scoria was being 'volunteered' to participate. Like hell he was going to now.

Well, it seemed like Nisha was going to spark up and shoot forward like the lightning that covered her armor. Good for her. Scoria flicked his wrist in Nari's direction and cast Heartbeat Healing on the player, deciding instead to just stand by and guard the golem that had been downed. If Caer was going to tie up the golem or use a magical collecting quest object, Scoria wasn't about to leave the player to just sit there and do the task alone. She might have been a very strong and capable samurai, but she was synched down at the moment. The glaring druid watched the field carefully before his suspicions were confirmed. Whatever Caer might have been doing, the golem Nisha hadn't attacked had decided to arbitrarily target her or Scoria. Which was great. Just great.

Stepping forward, Scoria walked calmly towards the golem and waited, making sure he was at least five meters away from his allies. The moment the golem stepped in range, the druid tapped his foot against the ground, Glacial Freeze turning the ground into an ice rink. This was Scoria's favorite skill and his frequency in using it made him a little bit more competent when it came to standing straight up, but people who didn't know how to deal with it often tripped up. The golem was one of those creatures, as it slipped and slid forward. Calmly placing his right hand behind his left and opening both palms, Scoria bent his knees slightly and activated his second skill, Spear Break. By placing both hands together, he created an improvised 2-handed weapon to thrust with, slamming into the golem. The knockback effect was immediate. Scoria shot straight back off the ice like a bullet and hopped off near the edge, carefully landing over the edge and rolling before regaining his balance. The golem, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as lucky.

The thing about knockbacks was that they were often severly reduced by contact with the ground. If an opponent could get airborne, then that problem was solved, but getting someone airborne for knockback was a ridiculous feat to achieve. Instead, Scoria simply turned the ground into ice. Slowing yourself down on that to resist knockback like normal was impossible and the result was fairly straightforward. The golem slid off the ice like a cannonball until it hit the edge of the ice, then tumbled rapidly across the ground. It was larger than Scoria and moved slower when physics was applied, but a knockback was a knockback. The golem was disoriented for sure. Easy pickings. Still, he would have preferred to have dealt with it sans skills.

The guardian was more physical with his fighting even compared to the other two tanks in the party, so it seemed. He wasn’t afraid to get hurt but then again so was Caerbannog so she was like, eh, go ahead. Once that was done, two other golems appeared and at a higher level too. The foxtail dashed off to intercept one of the attackers and did well with Denkosekka, a skill which was familiar with the wolf-hair samurai since it was her starting skill as well. Notably, the other samurai fired a bolt at the golem; Caerbannog did not know of such a samurai skill so it might have been from a subclass, she thought. Speaking of physical attacks, Scoria who was supposedly a druid used what looked like a kamehameha-on-contact at the third golem sentry within reach. The healing for Narihama made sense since druids were support-types from what Caerbannog heard. The ice rink also made sense; magic. But slamming his hands right into the golem? Whoa. Scoria, you’re a druid; you’re not... wait, no. The wolf-hair samurai collected her thoughts and memories of what she’d known so far about the forest sprite’s MP-reserve. Hourai-san glared at everyone, pushed landers around though not without reason, used an ice spell to trip up the golem and finally used a physical attack on the target. Sooo... Scoria was Scoria and that was that. She half-expected him to at least do something about restraining the golem sentries but no one tells Scoria what to do. So it was up to Caerbannog to incapacitate the targets somehow. Narihama’s golem was still out cold and so was the druid’s; Nisha was dancing around her partner though the wolf-hair samurai noted that damage had been done around that golem’s legs. Kyuu ran towards Nisha as the foxtail moved out far enough to let the other party members engage her target. The long-haired samurai drew her nagamaki which triggered [Iaido] and she sliced the golem’s right leg clean off at the part which had already been damaged by the other female adventurer. Caerbannog took two steps back as the golem sentry fell forward with its right hand going for her; she put both hands on her sword’s hilt, flipped the blade to make it face outward and she met the golem hand which resulted in sliced fingers. The guardian’s golem soon began to stir though, and so Caerbannog had to work faster. Fortunately for the samurai, the one-legged golem sentry tried to prop itself up with its undamaged arm. While that target’s reaction was lagging due to being nearly incapacitated, the wolf-hair samurai threw a two-strike slash at the narrowest part of its arm, around the elbow, by flipping her blade twice. The golem fell face first onto the ground, and propping oneself up with a fingerless hand and just one leg was not that simple. The girl nodded to Nisha as Scoria’s golem stirred, and at the same time, Narihama’s target also got out of its daze. Killing golem sentries definitely was easier than incapacitating them, but the quest was the latter so they’d have to deal with it. The samurai merely pointed at the golem sentry close to the guardian and hoped that he was recovered enough to deal with it. As Hourai-san’s ice rink melted away, Caerbannog ran up to the druid’s recovering golem and kicked off the ground. Two hands on her sword’s hilt, her nagamaki was raised over head and it came crashing down upon the golem with the use of her ace move [Kabutowari]. The sentry had already been damaged by its earlier fall and the attack from Scoria, so the skill did not deal extra damage. It did knock out the golem though; blunt force trauma to the head was not consciousness-friendly. With the target out cold, Caerbannog stood on its chest as it lay on the ground and she proceeded to slash off the creature’s limbs; all four of them. .: OOC Notes :.

After the stunt that which of what can be called teamwork with the samurai Caerbannog and the Druid Scoria, looking more like the Druid helping himself which he just so happened to help the wolf hair samurai which also happened to finish off the level 4 golem in a show of brutality, while mentioning samurais, Nisha had quite the easy time playing “cat and mouse”, going through the golems legs, yet the golem never learns and thus the just tires himself out with just turning around and around like a jittery merry-go-round, luckily before Nari could act and incapacitate the golem between them, he noted the other wolf hair already taking arms against the tired golem, thus cuts a leg, his fingers on his right hand and an elbow cut to finish it off so the golem sentry couldn’t prop itself up and not to mention in such a quick succession, Nari, amazed of how she dealt with the two golems, he noticed the golem waking up, “you up already?” Nari said with a sigh, just as the flow of combat ended between the female wolf hair and the golems, the flow restarts for the male one, seeing a large shadow below Nari, he skipped to the right, a massive stone fist hammered the ground beside him, Nari draws his glaive and with a sharp spin facing the golems lodged body in the ground which the golem can’t reach the wolf hair because of his own sheer body size and his broken right arm, the golem thus tries to break the ground beneath him so that he can get a height advantage, but before the golem could act, Nari jumps onto the golem, with a smirk he dodges the blow of the golems left hand yet again but this time with a quick flick of the wrist and an arc shooting over Nari’s head, his glaive rends the golems left arm with a quick succession from the time he landed upon the golems chest, thus Nari yet again puts the golem into sleep with a wide, powerful arc to the side of the golems face, this time Nari made sure to hit him hard into the face of the golem, yet to keep an eye on the golems health, with the golems health below 20% and knocked out, Nari gets off the golems chest, and walks towards the other three of his party-mates with a look of satisfaction and joy, “how are we gonna make sure the other golems stay knocked out when the time arrives when we have to beat-up more of them?” Nari with a troubled “glow” around him as he asked, thinking back to the time when he had to do this quest alone, he pondered if the same strategy that he used against them would work or not? Leaving the question unstated, he noticed other golems started to take form around the party, four in total, thinking this was a bad place to spawn for the golems, Nari takes arms against one of the biggest golems there were, one of the level 5s of the group of the four golems, whilst looking around to seeing what levels the other golems were:

Golem Sentry A

Weak: Earth, Water & Wind

[Nisha]

All this fight had reminded her of was the battle against Ganon. Who could forget the last part of ocarina of time, where Ganon took his huge boar form, lightning in the background, fire and chaos, but the hero staying calm, took out his hammer, since his sword had been missing and kicked Ganon in the tail by running through his legs. AI was just so exploitable like that, Nisha after playing that classic game had wondered why a huge thing like ganon had not just jumped to squash the little bug below him, just like the golem could have. But then again, a massive, most likely very heavy thing like that, could it even jump? Or was it like godzilla who was more like a honey badger when it came to that and could not give a frig. Looking down at the fallen Golem in front of her, she saw that it tried to get up. Did it not have enough? First Tsun-chan had gone and cut off his leg and then had sliced and diced his arm to shreds, but the golem was still ready to get up and join the fray again, what valor, what pride, what absolute and utter stupidity and idiocy. Bringing down her food on the head, or at least the stone that seemed to be the head, she pressed it back down in the ground with a smile on her face, cutting off it´s head just at where the body stone and the head stone met, slowly and carefully to make sure it lasted.

With a thunk the stone came off and rolled a few feet, Nisha was already moving over to the last leg and cut it off in passing as well, two quick strikes and it was falling off as well. At last the arm was coming off and Nisha moved on without looking back. Trying to get a grip for what was going on, there was no need for such things really and seeing as nobody was talking Nisha whad already mostly changed her mind about the two who had counted together uttered one word yet, at least Tsun-chan had some reactions, Nisha had even nodded back with a smile as Tsun-chan had cut up the golem. Until further notice, Nari seemed to be the only one who talked at all, since Nisha did not see any reason to say anything either, she would just do stuff and wonder if people would start making sense and talk after the fight. Wondering why Nari was asking something like how to have the golem incapacitated, seeing as the obvious thing to do apparently was to dismember them until they were just the body stone and maybe the head one, as they had done until now, she did not say anything, since it would not add to the fun and neither to the completion of the quest. If there was a good thing it was that everyone was working efficiently and well, support was given, healing thrown around and the golems had gone down quite easily. Looking at the new golems, she picked the smallest to take on. The other ones, like the one Nari had targeted were way out of her reach and in her opinion, she would rather fight against fewer golems than try and finish off the stronger ones first, while in danger of being ambushed by the smaller ones.

Rushing off with the last few seconds she had on her counter for the lightning armor, she rushed at the smallest golem and jumped up as the golem reacted by wanting to punch her. And check, one more item of her bucket list, standing on top of your enemies arm after they attacked you. She had wanted for it to be something like a boss or something for added awesome effect, but this would do for now. Stepping up the two feet left to it´s head, she put one foot on top of it´s head stone and used a magical bolt to loosen the joint attaching the arm to the body. She had picked the arm that had not attacked her, since it would most likely be faster to reach her while standing on top of the golem, due to it still being inactive, but she would not just let the golem pick up a weapon on her and use it. Adding a slash to the joint, that looked broken after her magical attack, she next severed the arm and Nisha moved over to the other arm turning with a spin and after two quick slashes, also severed the other limb. Looking around from her high position, she wondered how the others were doing.

[Scoria]

Scoria nodded his head in quiet approval and appreciation of @dindeen's follow-up, noting that although the group was relatively mismatched, they all seemed to at least be handling the problem in front of them fairly well. Well, Scoria thought so anyway. Nari seemed to be asking something about how to keep the golems incapacitated, but hadn't Caer just shown him through her actions? He wasn't very inclined to deal with the shirtless guardian anyway, especially since the druid had gotten absolutely zero recognition for the healing received. Scoria wasn't spiteful at all. No sir. He wasn't going to remember that and hold it against Nari for all eternity. That would be wrong. The druid squinted and kept watching the field, preferring not to get too physically active. The truth of the matter was fairly simple. While he beat up Landers on an unfortunately regular basis, actual combat was not something he walked into often, nor was it something he participated in easily. All his tactics were level-independent attrition tactics, assuming he didn't just walk right up to his opponent and punch it until its face resembled a squished watermelon.

Speaking of squished watermelons, Nari had managed to avoid becoming one only moments before. No more heals for you, guardian-senpai. Even if they were awake, if you chopped their legs off, it wasn't like they could do anything except fumble and cry out in rage. Some people preferred to do things and take the Queen of Hearts approach. Off with their head! Good work, Nisha. That Queen of Hearts seemed to rush forward a few moments later as four more golems made their way over. The quest had asked for five golems and the group had already collected three, so they only needed two more, right? So two of these golems could just die. It was a fine thought, but Scoria was slightly more concerned about the spidermonkey duo. While Nari seemed to be challenging something about 4 levels above him and far larger in size, that Queen of Hearts decided to attack using... Aha. Grimoire. But she was a Samurai, which meant that she was either using it on low proficiency or she was a Scribe. Interesting.

Anyway, the queen of spider monkeys could do whatever she wanted, Scoria was just going to hang back and be a total slacker. Fighting was much easier when the opponent was a humanoid. Well, these golems were humanoids, he guessed. Groaning visibly and scratching his head, he pulled his forest sprite off his back and set her on his shoulder. He wasn't about to be doing any more rolling any time soon, seeing as the sprite was pulling at his hair as revenge. He had rolled so she wouldn't get underneath him, but she had still been pretty frightened, it seemed. Well, there was only one thing to do when you were Scoria. Throw lolis at your problems. So Scoria threw a loli at his problem.

Walking up to the 2nd of the level 5 golems, he picked Alraune up again and threw her right up at the golem. He couldn't use Glacial Freeze again so close to the others and his other abilities weren't useful here, so the forest sprite went up and latched onto the golem's arm before scampering up to the back of its head. She slapped it and released her iconic pollen, slowing all the nearby golems more and more while they stood around. Meanwhile, Level-5-senpai was throwing a fist at Scoria. Well, that wasn't nice. Scoria did the only thing he should have done in that situation.

Yup, he slammed his fist against the golem's, engaging in a brofist. Too bad the golem wasn't a bro. Scoria's hand quaked at the impact and his health took a hit, but one Cure Bloom had his health rising back upwards a moment later. The golem threw another fist and Scoria stepped sideways, shoving the fist into the ground. He probably should have been a monk, honestly. Well, this was fine too. Cure Bloom again, and his health was back to full. Of course, Alraune was still up there slapping the golem's head and calling it a big meanie. The spores were increasing rapidly and the golem was starting to stutter in its movements until it finally just became paralyzed completely and collapsed. Alraune hopped off towards Scoria, landing on the druid before hopping off and raising her hand up high. Raising an eyebrow, the druid gave her a small hi-five and turned to glance at everyone else. Nisha was doing relatively fine on her own, the real problem was Narihama against that Level 5 golem. Well, as long as Caer was around, things would probably be okay.

Seeing as three golems were incapacitated, Caerbannog had planned to drag them into the Sarum Expedition Camp which was like, twenty steps away from where they stood. Unfortunately, as if on cue, four more golems appeared and instead of staying out of harm’s way what with his previous injury and the level gap between him and the golem sentry, Narihama rushed in to engage the mob. Now, Caerbannog was probably the most patient tank that one would ever come across; other tanks would usually lead the party by barking out orders and putting markers above which mob to focus on, but not Caer. Instead, she internalized everything that she wanted to say which at that moment was something like: Don’t know if troll, or stupid. First of all. Fiiiiiirst of all. Tanks were not invincible. Especially not Level 1 tanks. If a tank died, all of the mob Hate would turn towards the other members of the party, particularly to the healer. So, if the tank dies, the healer would probably die. Second of all, and this was probably how tanks thought, the healer’s duty is to keep the party alive BUT tanks usually forgot that there were exceptions. This was an exception. A tank who deliberately got in trouble at the risk of dying, and if he died, all that Hate would turn to the healer? If Caerbannog had been a healer, she would have left the party already. But then there was Nisha. Oh, little firecracker. She used her weapons skillfully and took advantage of her stature against her target while also keeping in mind the gap between her and the golem. On second thought, Caerbannog would have stayed even if she was the healer. Ditching parties was not her thing anyway, and Scoria was still there after all. Brofist with a golem. Nice one. It seemed that the other samurai and the druid were fine on their own, so the female wolf-hair only had to worry about the guardian. Caerbannog did not like having to grab Hate from another tank’s target, but occasionally she had to do it in MMORPGs. Like that one time when she played A Realm Reborn, the main tank clearly was under equipped for a boss fight but went all TANK PRIDE at it. For a while, she did her usual DPS combo to keep her enmity low but once it was apparent that the healer was having a hard time keeping the tank alive, and it clearly was not the healer’s fault. So back then, the girl immediately switched to her Hate combo and grabbed the boss in three hits. She proceeded as main tank for the rest of the fight. The samurai, even with the Level 4 Golem Sentry on standby, dashed off to one side of the party. Once all the golems were within her line of sight and she was mostly in theirs, especially that last Level 4 sentry and Narihama’s Level 5 golem, Caerbannog simply sheathed her nagamaki, raised both her hands in front of herself and the wolf-hair flipped everyone off. Rude. Well, actually it was a shortened version of her taunt [Samurai’s Challenge]. For her whole turn, all the golem sentries, even the incapacitated ones as long as they were conscious at that time, threw their attention at the samurai. With that out of the way, she dashed towards the Level 4 golem sentry, drew her sword and threw [Shunsen] to stop that golem on its tracks and to damage it as well. Lastly, Caerbannog kicked off the ground and thrust her nagamaki into the sentry’s face which caused it to stagger backwards until it crashed into Narihama’s opponent. Both golems’ hit points dropped lower but they were still alive and the Level 4 one even tried to swat at her. The creatures were too slow though, and so the wolf-hair was still able to pull out her sword and move out of the way. As anticipated, the stabbed golem flailed around for a while like a turtle that was flipped over. Speaking of turtles, she noticed another reason why the golem sentry was so slow: the Alraune had done her magic once again. Her chain still at 2, the samurai left it at that and just hacked off the Level 5 golem’s legs since it was more of a threat. .: OOC Notes :.

Knowing that he cannot win against the hulkering brute-ish Golem that stood upon him, Nari not daring to make a move, and so was the golem for some weird reason, though just noticing the others have sprung into action like Nisha’s fighting Hogwarts-ish style though she clearly is using a sword aswell as being a monkey-spider animal jumping on the golems arm like that, although all of that was possible by the Druid, Scoria, making use of his friend’s (?) abilities and stunning the enemy’s movements, and finishing off with a beautiful bro fist to boot and lastly the samurai wolf hair, Caerbannog, drawing the aggro of the level 4 that was beset her and the attention of the golem that was not moving under Nari’s watch for some awkward reason or another, while Caerbannog also doing some maintenance on the poor level 5’s legs, Nari sets his aim’s on the thrashing level 4 that Nari has to thank again to Caer later on, thinking of how Nari should approach the golem, he just thinks he should take the “all up in yo grill” tactic since Caer already dealt with the problem with the aggro attention already, basking in the warm glow of the sun while sprinting to the golem, the scenic scenery upon this battle was nice compared to worse days like the first day he meet the little bundle of cute fluff that was Nisha, the skirmish has begun, and the adventurers will be wining this one that’s for sure.

The love for battle was apparent for Nari, as he charged towards the level 4 as it was getting closer towards Caer, using the momentum from the sprint, Nari arcs his glaive towards the back of the golems calf, the glaive hits with a thundering blow, sending the golem off its feet and towards the ground as the golem cries and wails in pain, Nari stabs the joint of the golems right leg and snaps the joint in half, continuing this as the sounds of cries and wails come from the golem on the other leg and the arms while the golem can barely move at all let alone try to catch Nari, after the dis-jointing and the sounds of snaps come from the golems limbs, Nari standing on top of the golems chest, preparing to clobber the SOB in the head, Nari lets his eye wander abit to see what was going on, seeing as though the level 5 that has it’s legs severed off and dragging itself to an ill fate with the samurai Caer, Nari decides to do something funny in his eyes, instead of clobbering the golems head in, Nari cuts it completely off and thus grabbing the head and a-line the severed head with the dragging-itself golem, takes a few steps back and……

The fighting was still continuing, and a certain severed golem head has flown into another certain dragging-itself golems head and thus collided which resulted with a shower of itsy-ditsy tinny stones flying around everywhere with an amazing explosion off dust and an hail of stones showered the field, Nari of who making sure to shield Caer who was the only one that could of gotten hurt apart from the star striker himself, Nari, preparing to receive the stone pellets with glee as the golems heads still showered the battle field, and thus the death of the level 4 golem was very apparent to everyone as the stones ripped through the skin of Nari (-15%HP to Narihama), while looking like a person who got shot with a tommy-gun, Nari peers to Scoria, eyes filled with plead, “please can I have a heal, mister Scoria good sir?” knowing that Scoria had gotten pissed-off of what Nari didn’t do.

[Nisha]

Nisha sighed, had she just seen what she had seen? She was not too sure, she had observed something so weird and out of this world, that it had even taken up her full concentration to not fall from the golem laughing. Tsun-chan had flipped them of, all of the golems and activated a skill apparently, it had been so funny that Nisha had wondered if that was that rumored move she had been told about on the boards from the samurai class. She had not seen it used in the game before. It was hilarious how she had just done that after barely talking to anyone at all and then doing the most offensive thing that games would most likely allow that were this low. Well, Nisha now knew at least that that skill was on her wishlist. But back to business, even though her golem had no arms anymore it was still moving and since it was definitely a taunt skill it was also moving toward tsun-chan. Well, seems like Nisha could cut back and get some slack on. Sheathing her sword for a moment, she wondered what to do next, after all, this should get her some level ups, but only in samurai, there was still the problem about her other skills and classes though.

Heck, she did not even know if anything had changed with crafting since the apocalypse, before it had been more or less a click in the bar and most of the stuff happened kinda automatic, just like in any game, but since the apocalypse had happened many things had become easier to do manually and some things could only happen manually, like researching and such. Yes, she had already heard about that little todbit, even though, as anyone might have guessed she had not yet tried out. Seeing that due to lost balance the golem was everything but moving straight and still needed a while before Nisha could stop misusing it as a ride. Sitting down on it´s head rock, she waved toward the others and called out while being shaken around: "Feels like a camel, I guess I can not recommend golem taxi for people with weak stomachs or motion sickness. One of three stars at best, anyone else wanna try?" Nisha asked and grinned at them, remembering how she had once ridden a camel on a vacation in egypt, it was no real comparison, since that time she had not taken a liking to her camel and vice versa, while she thought slowly a hate hate relationship between Nisha and the golem was forming, even though it was focused on tsun-chan for now. Stopping to wave and patting her new ride on the face, she knew what the golem could use. It could need a little pimp up, but she wondered if some famous rapper or tv station was gonna do a pimp my ride golem version inside of a game, but then again, even rappers had to do something in their free time, right? Maybe there was one in here and she had just not met him yet.

Thinking up something else while pondering her first expression if she met a celebrity in the game, she called down again: "Actually, why don´t we just use this one to pull all the heavy stuff back to the camp? Anyone got some ropes or something?" Nisha added in a questioning voice and wondered how they would control where it went, well, if all but one would ride, that one would have definitely the highest aggro, so as long as that player made it to the camp, the golem would follow. It sounded ingenious, but depending on if anyone had ropes it could turn out as a bad idea as well and she would have to cut of her favorite new golem taxis feet. No one really wanted that to happen, did they? That would be just too heartless for her fun and the golem kind of too, even though it would at least not be used as a sled for the parts of it´s fallen comrades. Nisha furrowed a brow and looked down at the rocky face of the golem and wondered if it was programmed to even feel a certain way toward other golems. For all they knew, they could have just taken care of this one´s family.

[Scoria]

Scoria was... well, he was surprised that Narihama had determined exactly what Scoria was annoyed about. The druid had the habit of looking angry at absolutely everything, with absolutely no care in the world about anything whatsoever. Everything was a target for his hate, so Narihama's comment was... well, it was suspicious. Was this guy a mind reader, or was Scoria losing his touch? Either way, the druid turned to glare at Nari, the full force of all of his endless hatred and glaring blasting full strength at the guardian. Could he have a heal? Sure, he was capable of receiving a heal. Was Scoria going to heal him? "No." No, he was not. Nari just got the brunt of Scoria hatred directed straight at him. How unfortunate. Turning around and glancing at the field, Scoria nodded to himself.

What was the current situation? The first three golems they encountered were all down for the count. Scoria had completely incapacitated his golem. @dindeen had grabbed the aggression of all the golems in the area via Samurai's... oh man. Caer was a boss. Either that, or she and Alraune were feeding off of each other's bad habits. Either way, the rude Samurai had successfully gathered aggression and incapacitated another golem. Nisha was riding a level 2 golem like she was... well, the only way he could think of her at this point was some form of spidermonkey, so that was what she was. At any rate, she was riding the creature. Which left the level four golem, and that one level five golem with its legs chopped off. Seven golems total and as for what Scoria was currently seeing, only the level 4 wasn't dismembered somehow. Still, if they only needed five golems...

The druid turned to the golem he and his familiar had downed and stepped on top of its chest casually, then drove his fist straight into the creature's chest cavity repeatedly until it shattered. Hooray, experience for everyone. That was six golems to manage left. Probably good to eliminate the level four as well... oh wait. Nari had done it. Right. Scoria hadn't been paying attention. That was why he had been asking for help in the first place. Anyway, now that he had officially spoken a full word, he figured that he could spare another. Looking up at Nisha, the druid continued to glare and repeated his last sentence for emphasis. "No." His forest sprite, a little fed up with him, was now waddling over to Caerbannog to see if her auntie needed any help. They had five full golems, but since they didn't have a proper means of pulling them...

Scoria would have used Glacial Freeze, but the possibility of accidentally murdering one of these creatures was too high for comfort. Instead, he just huffed and grabbed the original Level 2 golem that had started this entire affair, placing his hands against the beast and participating in the great act of pushing and pulling the oversized rock towards camp. Just twenty feet or something. Not terrible. So what if he only managed to move the massive hulking stone mass at the lovely pace of about an inch an hour. Oh neep this. Scoria cast Cure Bloom on the golem itself, then walked five meters away, cast Glacial Freeze, walked back, and slid the damn golem. Five meter radius meant 10 meter diameter meant about 30 feet. And Scoria just had to keep healing the golem any time it got close to dying to the point he could just shove the darn thing. Screw doing actual work. Once the golem slid off the other edge, he canceled the spell. Done and done. You other people can go figure out your own way to solve this problem. One golem out of five roughly shoved into the camp.

Scoria was being his usual self again. His usual sour self. Not that the samurai minded; she did just FLIP OFF an entire group of golems in front of her teammates. Calling Scoria ‘rude’ would have been like a pot calling the kettle black. As the level 5 golem flailed and tried to get up, the samurai looked around her to check how the other adventurers were actually doing aside from what their HP/MP meters said. Narihama seemed a little worse for wear, but Nisha was having the time of her life. Golem taxi? She had sense of humor, and was actually kind of funny. Caerbannog liked that. The world was already full of serious people and- oh, the Level 5 golem just tried to grab the wolf-hair’s tail. Rude. She slapped the golem’s hand away. From seven golem sentries, they soon only had five due to the half-naked guardian’s antics and Scoria’s PMS. It was the perfect number but as Nisha pointed out, they needed some kind of pulling implement to drag the golems into camp. Or they could be druids with Glacial Freeze and Cure Bloom. Unfortunately, out of a total of four adventurers, only one fit that requirement and he was well on his way into camp already. Caerbannog looked around at what she actually had to drag into camp. The foxtail’s Level 2 golem was still focused on her so it would probably follow the wolf-hair samurai as she walked up the road. The problem was the Level 5 golem sentry which still had arms, Nisha’s other golem (Level 3) which was fortunately also limbless, and Scoria’s new best friend whom he left behind for whatever reason. “ Okay... no more killing so no more experience points problem, “ Caerbannog picked up the forest sprite who’d just walked over to her and gave her a piggyback ride. The samurai then unsynched and brought her level back up to 66. The Alraune knew what that mean. It was face-wrecking time! Caerbannog walked up to Narihama's Level 5 golem, kicked it down as it tried to sit up and then she pulled off its left arm. The right arm soon followed, and then she slapped the golem with its own limbs just to knock it out. The girl was careful enough to hold back though, so about 15% of the thing’s HP remained. She then grabbed it by the neck and dragged it over to the Level 5 golem which the Alraune had paralyzed, heaved the limbless golem sentry onto it and used the mostly-intact golem as a sled by pulling its right leg. “ Let’s go then, “ the samurai said as she pulled her sled over to Nisha and her Level 2 golem sentry, heaved the foxtail’s limbless Level 3 golem onto the Level 5, and proceeded to pull the whole thing up towards Sarum Camp. If the Level 5 golem sled did not wake up, they would reach the camp without incident. If it did wake up, then it would have to shove off the other golems first before it could try anything else. Caerbannog would have a firm grip on its leg the entire time so good luck to the golem trying to pry her hand off of it. .: OOC Notes :. Tags: Party list. Word Count: 535 Code by Neun of ET.

While Nisha has finished her golem, the still hurt Nari got a flat “NO” from the druid himself, “well could have been worse I suppose” Nari thought while semi-looking down on the ground, it would seem scoria seemed pleased with himself, thus walking back to the camp, and besides the wounds will surly heal over time even though Nari looks like he got shot by a gun a couple-hundred times, Nari has had even worse things happens to him in the real life then be shot a couple of times, that’s for sure, while Caer, not caring for what scoria did, turned back to the OP level 66 and went HAM on the golem that Nari blew off the head to, dragged the other golems onto the golem that was permanently paralysed and thus began dragging the entirety of the golem stack, wow lots of golems in this paragraph hey?, well, the huge tower of golems seemed easy to drag by the female wolf hair, but Nari didn’t seemed pleased by the situation, so he did what he wanted yet again, he unsheathed the glaive from his leather strap-like thing that was around his body, and sliced the leg of the paralysed golem that Caer was holding, that should of pissed the golem off, while the gargling cry of a golem can be heard yet can’t even move since he is severely paralyzed and doesn’t look like he’ll move just from one severed leg, while slashed the knee cap of the golem leg off, he kicks the severed leg away and grabbed the left leg on the golem sled and starts pulling, turning to Caer, “I’ll like to do this, take it easy”, and thus Nari trudges onward, humming a song that he remembered from his childhood, “the saints go marching in” everyone called it if Nari can remember right.

With a spring In his step as always, Nari didn’t complain about anything, didn’t usher a word at all apart from the hums that emit out of his closed mouth, then Nari sees a familiar face, the birds he gave some seeds to before he went back and partook in this quest, Nari paused for a second to whistle towards the birds, and the birds complied with a set of loving chirps, thus they flew towards the incapacitated golems and sat on them, singing the song Nari was humming as he dragged the golems, Nari who was relived and happy continued to march onward saying this, “are we gonna get or what? *turns his head towards Nisha and Caer* c'mon, let’s go and finish this quest” and with a cheerful smile, Nari turned towards the entrance of sarum, stopping yet again, “drinks are on me!” he spouted as he entered sarum, the golems were not moving apart from the sled golem though, the grumbles of that particular golem was very apparent and thus Nari didn’t care, just moving with a couple-hundred hole in him was of what Nari didn’t hope for to get out of this quest, but hey, “beggars can’t be choosers huh?” Nari thought to himself.

[Nisha]

Seeing as Tsun-chan got to work, Nisha began to drum on the head of her level 2 golem, sure, she may not have done the most, but at least she got more than one fifth of what they needed done and she had had fun doing so, unlike poor Nari, who with drooping head got a blank 'no' statement as she asked for healing. Which made Nisha wonder if Scoria just like her brother was running around with the wrong class to begin with. Maybe it had been his secondary character that he had tried to level up when the apocalypse happened, thus getting stuck with his character as he was now. From what Nisha had seen, he was more of a silent hunter type, maybe with a bow or an arrow, maybe even the lone knight type and seeing how he worked with caerbannog, Nisha had opened her interface and had found out their names, while caerbannog was definitely in her element. The stoic bushido tpe of player, who came to everyone´s rescue without wanting thanks nor reward, well, maybe a reward, but not form her group, or so it seemed to Nisha. If Nisha had to give Nari a title, it would be... the awkwardly shiny knight? If he was of a higher level, his actions could be seen as valiant, while as he was now, there was little bravery, but maybe a bit overenthusiasm. Attacking something four level beyond you while having expert players around would naturally look bad for them.

Ah, the nice feeling of higher leveled players looking down on the little people. Looking through her stuff for a second, she saw that she still had not picked anything up aside from her half durability, or half eaten sweet potato she had bought yesterday, they tasted just like any food in elder tales since she had bought it straight from a npc lander, but none the less, just imagining a sweet potato had been enough for her to buy it. It had tasted good in her mind and that was all she needed, she was more of a head person when it came to food and was never bothered as long as food did not taste bad and looked good. Getting out of the menu again after noticing caerbannog getting back up to level 66, she foolowed her movements and saw how she build a sled, chuckling at it, Nisha called out: "The landers must wonder if it is christmas already with the presents we bring and the sled we pull." Having enough of the shaking of the golem, she slid down the back of the golem like a slide and followed after it until they reached the camp.

Thinking about some stuff, she wondered how to best get the golem to stay still and stay in camp since the effects seemed to have worm off to keep them on Caerbannog. But it still stoically followed her. Seems like another peak of teh higher leveled players had come into fruition. She was pulling ALL the aggro now that she was back to level 66. Nisha wondered if they would do something else now that they were in camp and if the quest would be ended here and now. Maybe she should ask if everyone wanted to come and drink something, but Scoria seemed pissed off at everyone and Caerbannog, even though she had uttered some more words she did not seem very talkative and Nisha wondered if she would even enjoy the partys company, well, nothing to it but try. Sending over friend requests to everyone she had not on her list before, she asked in a louder voice so that everyone could hear: "Someone else want to get some food or drink? Though to my chargrin I don´t know where good food would be offered around here. But the first round is on me." Nisha grinned and wondered if she, even though she had not gotten a handshake, would get a positive reply from someone.

[Scoria]

Scoria had turned himself around once depositing his package on the camp roughly, walking calmly back towards the group of adventurers. Oh boo hoo hoo, the wounded guardian wasn't getting a heal. Scoria had a darn good reason for saying no. Actually he had several good reasons for saying no, but the easiest to explain was that he just didn't want to. Oh, they were unsynching. Moving through his interface as he walked back, the player let his own level shoot upwards to 21. Still less than a third of @dindeen's, but still enough to at least take care of himself. After some face-wrecking a la Caerbannog and taxi adventures via Nisha, it seemed like everything was going quite well.

Wait was Nari somehow pulling three golems piled on top of each other towards camp? Uuuuuh. Scoria grimaced slightly. Either that kid was one super powered secret hero, somehow hiding his levels, or... well, something was off about that. Drugs maybe? Was Narihama on drugs? That could explain the mood swings. Probably a good idea that Scoria didn't heal him after all. What if the Guardian turned into a frothing man-beast with rabies? Okay maybe that was a little too mean. Oh wait hahahaha Scoria didn't care. Reason number two for not healing the guardian. The player was kind of blind. The quest was already done with. Why bother? Wasting spells and time was dumb and Scoria was not dumb. Reason three? Alraune and her mp upkeep. Scoria managed to keep her throughout the majority of the day and had leveled up for that same reason, so he wasn't about to just toss his mp willy-nilly at everything.

Whatever his internal monologues might have stated, Scoria and company (Caerbannog and company more like) ended up at the camp and dropped off the goods. One disoriented golem, a golem taxi, and the golem version of Jenga. All in a day's work. So what if Scoria hadn't actually done anything the entire quest. Ssssh. Whatever. Oh wait there was invitation for drinks. Last time he had gone out for drinks... Well, who could drink here? Narihama? Underage. Nisha? Maaaaaybe. Caerbannog? ...No. No. Not because she was underage but just no. The moment he thought of Caerbannog drinking, a great fear rose up from his stomach. No. Bad idea. Bad. No.

With that impression firmly solidified in his mind, Scoria's glaring features turned to the other party members before shaking. As always, no. Still, he was at the very least not a terrible horrible person. He hadn't been around to really pay attention to Nisha's handshake at the start, but he extended his hand towards her for one now. She could take it or not take it, it didn't really matter. "Good work. No comments towards Narihama. The guy was a hyper spidermonkey disguised in the body of a guardian and Scoria wasn't touching that. Not with a ten meter pole. Glancing over at Caerbannog, Scoria muttered his usual 'end quest message' at her, silently. Well, to be fair, he had jacked it from her. At any rate, it was silent and quiet and went as follows. "Good job. Time to rest now." She had mentioned it once a long time ago and he had gotten in the habit of ending quests with her on that note, so there it was. If there was drinking to be had, Scoria was not going to participate in it.

But he didn't leave just yet, partially because he had the sinking feeling that if he did, Caerbannog would get roped into something by some Lander and not say no. It was totally possible. That, and Alraune was running around like a hyper kid with way too much sugar before she finally tackled Caer. The question here was whether the chef-turned-blacksmith wanted to hang out with the forest sprite or have her go with her 'dad'.
