(VR MMORPG)Story of Creaton:The ruins of symphony raid.
|
| >Golden arrives in advance. He scans around the area for a conspicuous place to AFK
| (note that nova is there but no one knows.cuz of his maxed out sneak.)
| (can i get a desc of the place)
| >Golden wanders somewhere towards the middle before freezing in place standing straight with his arms crossed. His head tilts down slightly. catching up on some sleep maybe, while waiting for whoever called to appear
| > Walking close, almost following Golden is Aria. She was unaware of Golden being there, but that was perhaps due to her being mindless of her surroundings.
> She stands idly, finding a wall to lean on. As she does, she scrolls down through her skills — after farming for a numerous hours, she has acquired a good number of them.
"Hm-hm."
> Each time she reads the description of the skills, she nods, understanding the text.
| (no need to role but can you tell me the level and max HP of your characters.again make it resonable.)
| >>171359
(I didn't roll this time; instead, I used fancy maths formula to come up with an HP of 1250 at level 26 — I extrapolated it from the base 625 and 13; it gives a fair 962 at level 20, which is still lower than the Matriarch.)
| (I have no clue what to base off from. But the char is one so carefully leveled and Stat'd into being tanky and a 1/4th into being a healer.)
| >Shima enters the tavern
Whoa , so this is what a tavern looks like. I wonder how does a beer taste like? i want to try it.
>She ordered it and then went somewhere to any empty seats and sit there.
| > Aria notices the newly arrived player entering the building. She approaches the player and attempts a greeting at her.
"H-h-hello there."
> Although starting awkwardly, she collects her next words and progresses on with her talk.
"Wh-what are you trying out there? Drinks?"
| >Shima notices Aria , and then reply her greetings
"Ah , hello. I was thinking about trying something alcoholic. I mean , it should be safe since we're inside VR.
| > Aria, not used to alcholic drinks even in real life, shudders at the thought of drinking one in VR.
"I-I might try it out myself. B-b-but.."
> She chuckles sheepishly, probably trying to find an excuse for herself to have a try.
"—I'll try then. Do they not cause any debuff?"
| >Shima replies to Aria
"Hm.. i also don't know. perhaps there might be a debuff that's accumulated each time you drink. And if you drink too much , you will get...drunk?"
>The beer arrives
"Oh ,looks like it has arrived. Time to try!"
>Immediately drinks it like a normal drink
| >Stopped drinking after drank it about a half ammount in the glass
"Bleh , it tastes weird. It's bitter"
>Some debuffs kicks in?
"Um..i think there's something wrong with me eyes..it's kind of blurry"
| > Aria nods mindlessly.
"Basically like real life. Affirmative."
> She then goes to the taverns counter and orders a beer — whilst waiting for it to arrive, she goes near Shima again.
"M-mind if I sit next to you? I ordered a beer as well."
| (Aaannd I forgot to refresh. It still works, so let's pretend I totally meant for that to happen.)
| >Her vision become quite shaky and blurry , but she still able to notice that the person nearby is Aria
"Huh? Oh , sure..."
>Her speech became quite sluggish
"Um..i think you ...shouldn't try if aftet all.."
"The effects..was..quite unpleasant"
| > Aria scuttles next to Shima with the beer in her hand. She notices Shima's condition and takes note of it.
"Are you okay?"
| >She replies with the same speech manner
"I don't think i'm fine..the effects is.. surprisingly realistic."
"Uhh..my head is hurt from this shaky view"
| > Having a full glass of beer doesn't help Aria's doubt at the beer's effect on her.
"T-then.. I'll be the second to see its effects—"
> She takes a surprisingly big gulp from the glass.
"T-this is.. bit—bitter."
> Her hand is shaking and her speech follows soon to be sluggish, in the same manners as Shima.
"—I-.. this.. this is what alcohol feels like? I-I never had one.. ever."
| (note that nova is silently watching the player he invited getting drunk, again no one knows he is there.)
| (Was aria invited too? I don't see her name up there)
| >>171554
(xnbc, that's Aria's username.)
"I can't take this!"
> Aria opens up her inventory, finding a debuff heal potion and immediately drinks two or three potion.
"That's.. much better. I don't like getting randomly drunk—"
> She then faces Shima, who is still visibly drunk.
"Oh-uhm.. do you want to have some?"
| >She replies
"Um..maybe i'll just ..take a little.. nap to cure this"
>She then fell asleep
| "Ah.. sleep well then. That debuff is ought to take down any light drinker after all."
> Aria smiles at the sleeping Shima.
"I'm not ever drinking beer again in this game."
| (Rolled a 15 on that Intuition, yes!)
> Aria heard a laughter. A disembodied one. She shudders again, her face goes with a clear confusion.
"Am I still drunk?"
> She rubs her eyes, (hopelessly) trying to see whoever was laughing.
| >nova (still unseen) says yesss you are in a gost voice.
| "Ah!"
> Surprised by the voice, Aria jumps and was sent startled.
"Who—.. who is that?"
| >>171672
> At this point, Aria turns from scared to terribly not concerned.
"Thank yoy, I'm sure my ancient ancestors would be proud if I do that."
> She opens up her menu, trying to find a menu to block whoever was doing the voice.
| (*you. Good job, Aria.)
| > Aria stares the now-visible Nova with a stern gaze.
"Quite mature. Quite mature indeed."
> She cancels the prompt on her menu, seeing that Nova was only trolling with her.
| >>171694
Oh god hahaha im sorry haha i just couldnt help myself.(note that that is novas primary account)
>he then stands up and extends his hand.
Hello im the one who called you here.did you also happen across a knight is stupid bright armor or a loli with a huge sword on the way here?
| > Aria answers the greeting.
"Nice to meet you."
> She processes both of those description, to see if she has passed any of those people.
"As for your query.. I don't think so. I'm afraid I have yet to meet any of them."
| (17 on my roll)
>nova then points towards the knight afking in the corner.
What about him?
| "H-him?"
> She takes a look at the knight pointed by Nova.
"Is that.. the knight I met a while back? The tower knight?"
> Scratching her cheeks, she tries to remember the knight she met after her Matriarch boss fight.
"Maybe that's him? I'm not sure."
| >>171713
>nova walks towards the knight,to his great regret.
GAHHHHHH TOOOO BRIGHTTT!
(1 cuz fuck me thats why.)
>nova then panics.
>in his panic he slips and breaks his neck,thus killing himself.
>he than respawns outside the tavern and walks back inside.
You never saw that...
| "..."
> Aria was left bewildered by what had happened to Nova.
"Let's pretend I didn't just see you PKing yourself."
| "I don't know. He could be away for all I know."
> Aria shrugs in response.
| Welp i guess we wait for a bit.
| >Shima is sleeptalking
"I saaaaaw aaa phooeeniiix , iiit's preeeetttyyyy cooool"
| >>171763
(perf 20 on stealth roll)
>Nova then drags shima into the bathroom and positions (her?) near the toilet in a way that makes her look like she got fhaking wasted.
>he then leaves the bathroom and returns to aria chuckling.
| "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
> Aria loudly proclamates a disregard for Nova's action.
"I swear, I thought you were going to bring her somewhere and heal that drunk debuff — but nope, you brought her to a toilet and let her out there."
| (tfw wake uplate)
>TRAPPED strolls into the tavern, where she is imidiately annoyed by the AFK golden's annoyingly bright armor
"...Riight, i'm going to count to three, and if you don't find a way to turn off that shine, i'm destroying everything.
>She raises her sword, letting it grow
"One..."
| > Sighing in frustration, Aria goes to the bathroom stall and sees Shima there. Soon, she carries Shima back to the seat where she was in before.
"Okay, please don't do that again. I appreciate some form of common courtesy, at least."
> She sternly warns Nova.
| >>171801
Oh right your still new
Put her back that was a good thing.
If you dont know drunk npcs might attack her.
| >>171801
Oh right your still new
Put her back that was a good thing.
If you dont know drunk npcs might attack her.
| "Y-Yeah, and I'm obviously not going to let her be attacked by whatever random NPC you're mentioning."
> Aria is still putting on a stern look at Nova.
| >>171818
Ok long story short,
To add to the immersion the devs put this little system,what it does is quite simple.
Some drunk npcs
>he gestures around the tavern.
Get mad and might attack a player that gets knocked out cuz of the booze.
I think its because they are using a seat the npc could use.
So players can go to the bathroom to avoid the issue.
I take it your new to that mechanic?
| >he than drags shima back the way he put her originaly
| >>171827
>TRAPPED grins
"If this is the guy that i'm thinking about, then i'm sure it will be fine..."
>The sword grows once again, jabbing into the ceiling of the tavern.
"...Three"
>TRAPPED then brings down her giant sword on golden
| "Ack—"
> Aria was left speechless; there is a girl with gigantic sword, and Nova just explained a completely new mechanic to her.
> She sighs, knowing the uncontrollable situation she's seeing in front of her.
| >Wakes up because of the loud noise
"Uhh...what was that? And also..is this the tavern's bathroom?"
>Walks outside , and then stares dumbfounded at the gigantic sword
"What the..."
| (holy shit this stuff is gold XD)
| >novas armor turns him ivisible.
>he then (in sneak mode) climbs back up to the ceiling to watch the chaos.(no one saw him)
| "... I can't comprehend what is even happening anymore."
> Aria plants her face on her palms, fully enclosing it. She tries to hide the bewilderment in her face.
| >>171856
>nova then picks her up and sits her next to him on the support hes sitting on
Sjhjhjhhh lets watch.
(aria is now cloaked and nobody saw that either.)
| "Ah-uh.."
> She was quite surprised when Nova picked her up, but she equalises her mood after a moment of watching the unfolding event.
"Who wields a sword *that* big anyway?"
| "Huh? I thought i saw Aria for a moment , but where did she go?"
>Scans the area
"Oh well..at least she managed to cure the debuff. I gotta continue grinding"
>Leaves the tavern
| >>171887
The loli i asked you about
I invited her too.>i also made her the sword.(perception check)
| >The sleeping knight gets slammed down on the ground face down. Finally getting jolted awake
"Hmm what. ground?"
| "Is that her? The one with a gigantic sword?"
> Aria's expression turns into that of a sarcastic sorrow.
"... You invited a beginner, a tower whose equipment is a shield, and a person with a sword thrice the size of their body?"
> She chuckles.
"What kind of party are you making here, Nova?"
| "Oh dear I must have fallen over"
>The tower rubs the back of his head as he stands up
| >>171900
I also invited the guy who beat g0regun.and despite the strange choice it was calculated.
| >>171902
"G0regun? Who is that?"
> Her oblivious question shows her lack of knowledge and experience in the game.
"Is it a boss or something?"
| >>171905
Geh story for another time.looms like hes gonna be late though.
>he then drops back down and cast >suicidal despair aura
>all the players are now frozen in fear.
CAN YOU ALL CALM YOUR TITS *PLEASE*
>he then lowers his voice
I have called you all here for a reason.
| >the aura drops.
| >Golden didn't have time to notice the massive hole in the ceiling. and looks at the man who shouted. apparently the one he was waiting for
| >nova then cast>total harmonic aura.
>everyone is calm.
So long story short i think we should become a party.
| > Aria stands up from all the aura madness casted by Nova.
> She doesn't respond to anything Nova says, but pays very close attention to them; something is probably in her mind as of now.
| "oho~"
>Golden nods approvingly. Easily convinced and not having a reason to refuse an adventure
| >TRAPPED is impressed
"Aha! you are that player who put all their stats in defence, well *i* put it all in attack"
>she turns to the man
"Unstoppable force and an ummovable object in the same party? sure why not, seems fun."
| >>171974
>Golden looks at Trapped for a bit. An image crosses his head where she rides on his shoulders spinning the large blade like a helicopter. Like armor and cannon. a literal tank. A ridiculous looking one at that.
| >>171975
> Aria shrugs, but chuckles afterwards.
"I'm already here, and you have summoned me, so what is there for me to reject? Let's hear out your reason for the party."
| >>171983
(Why do I fall for reverse traps in textboard forums.. this is supposed to only happen when I'm watching anime.)
| >>171978
Ah so its a yes from you all,good. Follow me.
>the group follows nova to a more tech gridy part of primaria. The backround music seems fitting ( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7WVh1zVLAcE )
| >>171999
"So, Nova, what are we doing again? I know a huge party like these are usually reserved for a huge event or some sort."
> Aria asks Nova during the trip, seemingly still lost in thought as to why they were in a party.
| >>172012
(how was the soundtack choice?)
We are heading to the information building.(the place where players can learn about ongoing events.)
| >>172017
(Fitting for a cyberpunk/tech grid.)
"Is—is that so."
> She takes a decent look at the different grid of the game. The place reminds her of Glitch City, in a way.
"For some reason, this place feels more like home than anything I have seen so far."
| >the party arrives
This is the place.i think the info board is here somewhere.
| >Golden follows along silently. Aside from the noise of his moving armor however
| > Still amazed (and confused) by the differing grid, Aria can be seen being impressed by practically everything she saw.
"It looks so different in VR.."
> It's unknown what she referred to by that, but she mumbled that loudly anyway.
| Ah! here it its.
>cyrus moves aside to let the others see.
| >Trapped grumbles
"Never liked the tech grid, bullets are cheat..."
| >there is a notification on the board.it reads out:
Hello players,the devs are proud to present a new raid.>the ruins of symphony.
>find out just what happend to a old and long dead music loving civilization...
>learn the lost magics of sound!
>win new gold gear and if your really lucky, a new RED item.
>and many more!
I am personally interested in Sound magic.
| >>172068
"W-w-wait, a raid? Isn't that supposed to be a huge event?"
> Aria interjects, feeling pessimistic with her ability to handle such a massive event.
| >>172070
Pshh we will be fine
The plan is that golden just tanks while me and aria clear the adds and traped nukes the boss.
| "HAH HAH HAH"
>Golden gives his signature hearty laugh. voice ever muffled by his helmet. He seems clearly excited
(solaire voice everytime)
| >>172072
"You make it sound easy, Nova."
> She blurts out a response, but found no other flaw in Nova's plan.
"I suppose with the party we have, that might be doable."
| "It is at least worth a try"
"Adventures always are hah hah"
| Heres the best part,only 4 other groups found the ruins.
| >TRAPPED begins growing her sword in anticipation
"Rewards better be worth it,
| >>172090
"Ah—before that."
> Aria reviews her skillset once more, setting them to a quicker gesture to activate.
"You and I are going to dish out anything but the boss, correct?"
| >>172095
"That was my worry as well. I'm fearing a PK group lurking around, especially in such a huge event like this."
> Aria mindlessly said, as she kept scrolling through her skills, rearranging them every once in a while.
| >Golden waits in anticipation while deciding appropriate buffs
| >the party then heads to the warp building.(ever town has one.allows you to warp between grids and other visited towns.
Soo anything else befor we start?
| (Not clear on when the danger starts. but Golden will give buffs)
| (oh while we are at it,should we do it room from room,or room jumpcut room?)
| >>172112
"Nothing I have in mind, at least. Let's just hope for the best — and let's hope there will be no PK group there."
> Aria prepares everything, but she doesn't equip her sword nor did she equip a shield.
| (and we all remembered what the forge enchantment does right?)
| >>172128
(25% DAM bonus)
(35% sneak attack damage bonus)
(50% of damage dealt leeches life)
(all positive stats doubles at night.)
| (Ah, I wasn't aware of that, thanks.)
| Ok
>nova claps and rub his hands then types in the coords to sloan.(a town made by >gremmer_yhatzi nova knows most of the npcs in it)
>The portal powers up and nova walks into it.
| >The tower follows inside
| > Aria jumps inside, following Golden and Nova.
| >Trapped follows
| Upon exit the party is greeted with this ( https://m.9gag.com/gag/azXq30x#comment )
Hey there ivan,have you seen grem?
ivan:(in russian accent) NOVA haha it is good to see you again,sadly i do not know where the boss is.
| "So.. that leaves us to search for it then."
> Aria sighs in response.
| >>172159
Nah not really,i just thought he would help.cmon let go.
>nova then leads the party to the ruins entrance.
>they arrive.
Soo final chance to do what ever you need to prep.
| >Golden flashes a talisman from the free hand that isn't meant to carry a shield. Reciting prayers the party recieves a few buffs
>Aura select: Taunting prescence Self Aggro++ Teammate aggro--
>Major Buff (Self): Status resist++
>Minor Buff (Party): Status resist+
| > Having absolutely no support nor buff skills, Aria stood idly as she receives the buff from Golden.
"Thanks. This is bound to be better than simply charging without any preparations!"
> She excitedly claims.
| >>172166
>Nova pops >bloodlust aura
>(5% of DAM leaches life(party)
>(15% DAM boost(party)
>(26% attack spead up(party)

| (Sry I have to go to sleep. I can set like a bot mode for golden if you guys are going to keep going)
| (And uh, we can pause and wait for tomorrow — I'm fine either way.)
| (I have an exam too so I would be on at about 8:00am on a +-0 Timezone)
| (Much appreciated)
