(VR MMORPG)Story of creation: the ruins of symphony part 5
| > Aria stands weakly hitting Golden's armor with her soft and too fragile hand.
"Don't ever do that again."
> She unequips her sword to quickly call it back to the inventory. Her face is still bright with red, but she have calmed down, even just for a bit.
"—And thank you for not giving me anything stupid in return."
| >suddenly bat ear chips rain down on aria.
| >>179038
> As the chips were raining on her, Aria puts a hand in the air—
"—..Air"
> —And a gush of air dispels any incoming chips — the air immediately explodes and scatter all the chips away— probably hitting a few of the party members' face as well. She had activated [Sword of Air] very quickly, probably wasting her MP by doing so.
| >nova uncloaks
Ok guys, enough messing with the greenhorn,we got a residential area to explore..hehehe...
| >>179046
"Shut up, I'm level 29 now."
> She didn't continue, as her party members are folds over her in terms of level.
"—And let's go. No time to waste here."
| >>179047
And im lvl 78 but you dont see me braging now do you.
>nova picks up the key.
Soo where to start.?
I see a wizards tower a apartment
And a mansion.
| >Shima wakes up
"Ooff..i never though i would be so weak against jumpscares
>She looks to where is the party gathering at
"Oh..looks like i missed something when i passed out."
| >reina uncloaks near shima.
BOOO!
| >As they walk Golden tells Aria
"Oho~ perhaps there will be a day where I remove my helmet and do things properly hmm?"
>It's always difficult to tell what expression Golden's making under the helm. Only that he sounds ever jolly as he makes his merry way
| >After Shima got surprised again, her eye went blank and passed out again
| "Hmm"
>Golden picks up Shima
| >>179052
> Aria only smiled weakly to the response, her face couldn't get any brighter than it was before.
>>179048
(12 on Clairvoyance.)
"Okay. Give me some minutes."
> Aria steps ahead, activating [Clairvoyance] again — a rain check never hurts.
| (wizards tower is interesting sit)
Sooo
Wizards tower
Manor
Apartments?
| >>179058
"Tower tower, up ahead!"
> Aria is back to her usual cheery self, her Clairvoyance is giving her a good vision this time.
"The eye is telling me that the tower seems to be our next destination."
| >the party arrives at the tower.
>the doors locked.
| >>179061
"Uh.. try the key?"
> Aria gestures to Nova, who is probably holding the key in his inventory.
| >nova opens the door.
>the inside looks like a rich persons manor but wizardy
>there are some stairs
| >>179063
"This is certainly gaudy."
> Aria enters the tower, seeing the decorations of the building as if she had never seen such in her life.
"—Wonder what's inside though."
| Hmmm, no clue we should probably look around.
| Soo i see
>the stairs
>and a hallway.
(vote in character pls)
| >primarina is the hub city it is where all player new or old first spawn when they log in
Home to nova_buster and his lunar forge.
| >Shima wakes up
"Ughh..i might gonna get a heart attack this time"
>>179098
>She heard what nova said and answered it while still half-awake
"I think the stairs..."
| Golden what about you?
>Nova asks
(bleh i just got back from remaking the backround thread)
| "Not Golden, but I vote the stairs."
> Aria replies, her attention still stolen by the decorations.
| "Umm..why is everything moving?"
>She then realizes that she is being carried by Golden
"Whoa, i didn't know i was riding on Golden's back.."
"This reminds me about my past..i never forget about the comfy feeling when riding on someone's back.."
>She then voices her small complaint
"If only his back weren't this hard..it would be more comfortable.."
"Hey Golden, you wouldn't mind if i ride your back for a little longer, right?"
>Shima asks
| >Trapped snoops up from behind somewhere
"Boo! Sorry i had to go, IRL stuff and all, so what's jivving?"
| >the party heads up the stairs.
>they stumble upon a huge laboratory,
>vials,potions,etc all there,some notes are on a desk. (maybe you can scavenge something)
| >>179216
(18 on area investigation.)
"A laboratory, hm. Maybe there would be something around here—"
> Aria opens up her skill list, but only now remember that she lacks any skill to find hidden item. All apart from Clairvoyance, of course.
"—Okay, I'm not a good item farmer. I'll manually search around."
| >>179225
(good health magic and stamina pods are littered around,there is some lore bits in the notes)
| >>179237
"I'll leave the rest to you guys. There is a lot to pick."
> Aria picks up the only interesting thing to her: the notes.
"Let's see..."
> She began reading the contents of the notes.
| >Meanwhile, group has an unsettling sensation of being observed by someone else; it can't be told with a blind shot if observer is a player or a monsters group scout, but this makes it certain that they are not alone here for quite some time; no longer hiding, a figure in a black hooded coat softly jumps down to the lab, revealing herself to all the people present in the area by removing her hood that was covering her head entirely, and raises her hand in greeting.
| >the notes read out some nonsense on how this mage and his forbidden experimenting on certin things.
>it ends with some hastily scribbled last will and something about the end of his race.
| >nova trys to blow their head off in surprise.
| >>179245
>>179245
> And as she finishes reading about the notes, Aria had already unsheated her sword — not quickly, but just enough to react in a surprised manner.
"—O-okay. Name and pur—.. er.. Who are you?"
> She lowers her sword, but doesn't unsheathe it in the slightest.
| (again nova is shooting the mysterious person)
| "Hey, easy with that! You can have me hurt, and that's not exactly what you'd want."
>Tomoe tumbles to the left, evading whatever magic or weapon were directed at her, with slight move takes off her coat and throws it at Nova, yet refraining from showing her weapons off - there were completely no need to shoot them yet.
| >>179252
(Didn't see your post because I'm an idiot and didn't refresh. Let me add some things up.)
> 'Boom!'
> Nova's rifle was fired, alarming Aria, but she had no time to react nor did she see where the bullet was headed.
(Putting this between 'Nova shooting' and 'Aria being the one surprised first')
| (Userscript notifications can help.)
| >>179256
(And a better network, but it's all my problem.)
> Aria watches as the two squabble together. Not knowing or wanting to know how it will end.
"Y-you two, let's break it here."
| (tomoe pls roll d20)
| "I've had enough chances to shoot down at least half of you. And it is you pointing your rifle at me. But, if you really want to play this game..."
>After a barely notable gesture from Mami, six flintocks appear stuck in mid-air, all aimed at Nova.
>Lower your weapon, this is going to end bad for both of us. Oh, and... Name's Mami. Common adventurer with uncommon powers."
| >Shima wakes up
"Whoops..looks like i've fallen asleep from riding golden's back"
>Shima hop from Golden's back to the ground
"Hup! Thanks, that was pretty comfy."
>Shima looks around, and then notices there is another person beside the party
"Huh..what's happening here? and who is she?
| (Nice colors mess-up, Mami-san. >~>)
| >>179262
>>179262
> Aria gestures an 'X' with her hands. Her mouth moves, but no voice comes out of it.
> She is probably trying to say either "No one knows" or "Stay quiet, she's dangerous"
| (I have no single clue why I keep doing that double quote.)
| >>179266
(yeet bad luck)
If thats how we are doing this..
>nova cloaks himself.
(you are now in combat with me btw)
| >mami can feel a blade near her back
| >reina tries to attack mami with her spear
| (Okay, hold on a minute. Let me OOC here: Can you make the roll clearer next time? I like surprise roll and all, but next time, can we be concise here? The high number should usually mean lower chance of aggravation, and it confuses me to no end if we start twisting this rule. Got that? Okay, was just something in my head. -xnbc)
| "It's how 'you' are doing this, do not mess the definitions. And i doubt that backstabbing me will do anything good for you - whoever you are."
>Another gesture makes all the flintlocks disappear.
"Whatever is on your mind - i am not here to fight you. So, once again - i am asking you to lower your weapons."
>With Nova now obviously pointing a blade at her back and any move might result in grim consequences - Mami decides to refrain from further hostilities towards the group.
| >>179272
"Already doing that, yes."
> Aria's stern were gaze: she is concentrating on something. Whether it was a plan or an idea, she had something in mind — at least from the looks of her face.
"—I don't think I can OHKO one, let alone two of them."
| >>179273
(I am doing screenshots of all my rolls and can provide them on request, also i am using RPG simple dice - if it matters.)
| >>179277
(No, I'm not talking about the player rolls. I'm talking about the context of which GM is telling player to roll. Sometimes a bit of context matters ('d20 for investigation') if no story part is needed, but simply doing ('roll d20' then 'aha, I surprise attack!') is a bit odd in my opinion. -xnbc)
| "Okay, you two, stop now!"
> Aria, having no other plan, pushes Mami away after the first shot.
"You both either talk or go satisfy the raging murder boner outside. I'm not tolerating both."
| >Trapped is completey confused to what's going on,
"Frigging cheating bullets..."
| >chanting can be heard
/ kaì tò phõs én tẽ skotía phaínei /
| "Invisibility and fast bullets? well.. looks like there's nothing i can do here"
>Shima continues exploring
| >>179287
(16 on recovery. I'm climbing up!)
> As she was flung outside, Aria activates [Momentum Burst]!
> After struggling with it, she was able to regain forward momentum and jumps back inside the tower relatively unscathed.
"I said, no murder boners!"
| >>179289
"YOU THERE, JUST RUN THE HELL AWAY! I'LL DEAL WITH HIM!"
> Aria shouts to the stranger lady. After seeing Nova cast it at least twice in the raid, she is fully aware of what he is doing.
"Nova, how big is that boner of yours anyway?!"
|
>the chanting continues
/kaì é skotía aútò oú katélaben/
| >it begins echoing everywhere,no one knows where the sound is coming from
/by the rivers of babylon there we sat down/
| "Hmm??"
>Shima found a grimoire
"Oohh! Never though there is a magic book lying around! Let's see the content.."
>Shima opened the book
>Many unfamiliar words were written in the book
"Bleh..i can't read a single thing about it..though i'll keep it anyway"
>Shima obtained a grimoire
| >Preferring to listen to the advice and not to worsen the situation around anymore, Tomoe makes her away for the tower - as fast as possible with her leg crippled.
"Damn trigger-happy fools..."
| >it gets louder
/yea we wept when we remembered zion/
| >a blinding light follows tomoe
/remember oh lord the children of edom/
| >>179299
"Okay, you are dealing with me now, Nova!"
> Aria readies herself, knowing that she will be fully blasted to ashes after being struck by Nova's attack.
"O Wind,"
> The area around her starts to form vortex of winds — she wants to strike Nova with as little care to accuracy as possible.
"—I may not win this.."
> She keeps herself ready, buffering between Nova and Mimi.
| (mami pls roll for a endurance save)
| (It's 2d8, as far as memory serves...)
| >Trapped begins chanting her own ritual, between all the confusion
/Water, life, darkness/
/Thou seeketh sanctity/
/Yet Thou not know truth/
| (better hurry my nuke is timed)
>the chanting gets louder
/in the day of Jerusalem who said raze it,raze it even to the foundation/
| >Having little to no desire to mess with whatever is prepared for her, but the sole fact yhat she allowed herself to be shot seems to play a major role in her attempts to avoid this interaction.
(8 for endurance save.)
| >Trapped continues chanting, un abated
/Solitude, Loneliness/
/Madness, Darkness/
/Thus is the price of your wish/
| >>179304
(And that's a 15 for dodge, 10 for actually doing any damage at all.)
"Why, you!"
> Aria dodges, almost precisely, from the attack. With the spell already in place, Aria strikes for Reina's body!
"—Push your foe asunder!"
> [Blast Wind] was activated! The vortex was shot from Aria's blade and towards Reina.
| >Shima spots a flying light across the room, and also some fights
"Wait..what happened? dammit, Nova is also casting a nuke..what should i do.."
>Shima is confused
| >Trapped finishes her chant
/Be sealed til time immemorial/
[Sanctuary]
| >the light gets brighter and the chanting louder
/oh daughter of babylon who art to be destroyed/
| >>179313
(17 on Clairvoyance and 9 for trying to attack. Why am I so bad at counterattacking?!)
"Ugh!"
> Aria quickly activates [Clairvoyance] — and then charges towards where the vision of her eye leads her.
"We have no time for this!"
| (reina is long gone)
>the chanting worsens
/happy shall he be for thou hast rewadeth thee/
(3 lines left)
| >>179318
"Ugh—"
> Aria stops in her path, as Nova is still doing his casting.
"ANYONE! CAST A SHIELD FOR THE LADY!"
> Aria shouts in general direction, trying to get the attention towards the mages and those that can cast a support spell to Mimi.
| >Shima is still confused
"Dammit..he's almost done. I can actually mitigate the blast, but i don't know about the others."
>Shima cast a spell on herself
[Light Barrier]
>Self buff, cast a 2000HP barrier
| >Trapped chants [Dark Calling], in an attempt to pull Mami to her and into [Sancturary]
/O gentle dark/
/Guide the lost souls,/
/Into My cruel grip/
| "I never actually wanted to hurt any of you..."
>Mami runs back to the tower - good thing she haven't madevit too far yet, even besides tolerating the pain, she jumps onto the higher level to find Nova.
"But you just force me to prepare a proper response..."
>A soft, dimmed yellow light is omnited from the second floor of the tower, where Tomoe focuses her energy for her own ultimate shot - "Tiro Finale". No guarantee she'll make it in time, but it's worth at least trying.
| >>179321
>reina interrupts the spell
>the chanting worsens
/and happy shall he be for thou hast taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone/
| >the nuke hits its final phase
/so realize what has come for you!/
| "EVERYONE, INCOMING!"
> With desperation in mind, all Aria could do was warn everyone of the blast.
| "Among the birds of the highest flight, among the deepest devils of the earth..."
>Tomoe is starting her own chanting, however, apparently too late as her opponents' spell is about to hit.
| >it starts
(14)
/and die where you stand!/
>a ray of light fills the room.
>but all it does is put aria shima trapped and mami to a deep sleep
| "Tch, i'm not even sure if [sancturary can handle two nukes...]
| "... Unmatched strenght to purge the unjust, the brightest light of hope for those who's lost, a punishing bane for those who dwell in shadows..."
| >>179327
"C-curs—"
> Aria tries to resist the debuff, her breath heavies as her lingering consciousness was pulled to a sleep.
"—Why.."
| >[Sanctuary] Protects against the status, but it breaks
"And now for round 2..."
| >nova still invisible binds the sleeping players with [ether tethers](note they can not be broken,the players dont know that)
| "Guh..-"
[Healin-]
>Shima didn't expect the debuff, and she tries to counter it, but failed
| >Mami's own chant was never finished, if only she would start it earlier - she surely would finish her own ultimate faster. However, this is barely matters now. Hello, sweet dreams. Or, well, maybe not too sweet...
| So now that that is over.
>nova claps.
What in the actual fuck are you doing here.
>he says to mami
| (by now the players are awake)
| >>179333
> Trying to stay awake herself, Aria desperately resists the status ailment. Her body is paralyzed, and the only thing that move is her eyes.
"..."
> Her lips are shaking as they are trying to move, but the [Sleep] was pulling her closer and closer to unconsciousness — she hadn't realized she was being binded either.
>>179336
"Da..mn—"
> It was the only word she could mutter before falling completely asleep.
| >Trapped pulls her sword out and points it behind nova
"What the fuck are *YOU* doing?"
| "I'd change tone if i'd want to get answer from someone like me. Consider this on asking your next question."
| (Look i know you're gm and all, but you can't litterally just invalidate the past few posts i made explicitly setting up sancturary to protect against this, while doing whatever the hell you want with a chanting spell that explicitly takes a while to do.)
| One last chance EHAT ZE FHAK ARE YOU DOINH HERE.
| >Shima wakes up
"Geh..did you lost a screw or something?"
|
"Nova if you kill her, i'm going to kill you too."
| >>17934 > Aria is still, somehow, asleep. Her party members are awake, but she was asleep — there is no [Sleep] debuff in her status whatsoever. Was just voluntarily sleeping?
| >>179357
(Okay, I honestly don't know how broken my post is until I saw it. I wasn't quoting anyone, and also *was she just.)
| "And YOU scared all of us with that stupid nuke chant, so lay off"
| >>179364
Well its too late for that,you said it yourself i *nuked every one*,
Whats to say she wont attack back?
| "I am just your average adventurer seeking valuable trinkets out there. You have never closed the doors, and i have considered this a direct invitation. So everything happening is kind of... Your faukt, i suppose?"
| >>179369
"In that case, maybe i should just attack you now, you *did* attack everyone, *and* tie them up."
>
| OOC: Your fault**
| "Well..i honestly doesn't understand what's happening anymore"
>Approaches Aria and then poke at her
"Hey Aria, why are you still sleeping? I don't see any status debuff at all"
| >>179372
So you just *happend* to reach to portal room *with* the batteries needed to activate it and *happend*to go to the same building we are in *all by your self*?
| >>179375
> Aria's breath is steady, something you'd hear from an actual sleeping person.
> She doesn't respond to the poking at all.
| "Well, alright. I 'have followed' you there, all the way from the beginning of the dungeon. Is that what you wanted to hear? Not my fault you were too occupied with fighting local monsters, and it never looked like you needed my help."
| >Trapped shrugs
"Maybe she got lost, or the others all died"
| >>179377
"I can't believe you can sleep peacefully on a situation like this..though i also did that"
>Shima is thinking for a way to carry Aria
"Hmm..if only Golden is not afk.."
>Then she approaches Mami and cast a spell on her
[Healing Aura]
"There, sorry for the trouble he's making to you."
>Shima bows at Mami
| "You don't have much of a choice on staying the only one alive from you raid, where healers failed to do their thing and resulted in wiping most of my party off. So it's kind of luck for me to meet you. Even through the unpleasant beginning."
| (Obviously shima rolled over and its a verbal only spell)
| Look just bare with me ok ive been in this game long enough to reach lvl 78 i know what im doing shima.
| You know what nevermind
>nova facepalms
Look ladie you got 2 options,play nice or get shot.
Wich one do you choose.
| >>179397
"It's plain simple - you're the first party i have stumbled into. It would be any other party in your place as well. No back thoughts here, seriously."
| "I am giving you the straight answer, what else do you want of me? Or is your head too empty to understand common human speech?..."
| >>179417
Look ima go with play nice.
>nova then bashes healing potions across the heads of the party.
>all members HP is at max.
>nova snaps his fingers,the tethers fade away.
>nova then extends some snacks to mami
Want some bat chips?
>he says that as if he didnt just nuke everyone.
| (Shima here, i gotta go sleep now, it's already late night. Good night to you guys)
| >>179425
(G'night.)
>>179424
> Even with the potion smashed at her face, Aria is still quietly asleep somehow.
| "No, not really. But thank you anyway."
>Mami grabs one of the chairs she found in the room, and takes a seat on it, looking over the party members with interest.
"So, um... Will you care if i join you along your way? Any objections?"
| >>179426
>at the sight of this nova facepalms and wakes arai up
Aria wake up we are all friends now.
>he says while shakeing her.
| "Your looks ring no bells, your arrogant behavior, the lack of manners and the way you treat your team mates - too... So, who are you?"
| >>179432
>nova looks at everyone
Shbhhhhjhhh
>nova then puts the butt mask on arias face in a way that causes her to kiss it.
| >>179432
>nova looks at everyone
Shbhhhhjhhh
>nova then puts the butt mask on arias face in a way that causes her to kiss it.
| >>179433
No one important.
Its good you dont know who i am,and as such you are welcome to join us.
>he says with a smile
| >>179435
> And Aria is still unresponsive. Perhaps her player is actually asleep and she is still logged in?
| >>179438
> Her lips posed no resistance, it opened and the bat chips were in place, held by her mouth inside.
| "Sounds like you have committed a lot of bad things. But that's not what concernes me - if you will try to stab me ever again - i will let you to taste my Finale. It casts faster than your sleep debuff, i have counted the timing."
>Mami chuckled.
"I hope my warning's clear. On the other hand - everything suits me just fine."
| (sorry forgot to ask
Can you tell me the level and HP of mami?)
| "Mhm... Thank you, i guess. So, how far have you advanced yet?"
| (Level - 47 (hopefully not too small/large, correct me if it is.) HP... well, that depends on how you tend to display it. Shall 41 suffice, or is it basically a larger number?)
| >>179450
(The usual number is 48HP per level. Multiply by an arbitrary number if your character focuses on defense and stuff. Golden, our tank, multiplies by 1.5x)
| "But it wasn't finished by any party yet, and my was no exception, as you must've noticed. So how far have you advanced?"
| >>179450
(kk so your a battle mage so its actually 4100 HP i just calculate the damage based on the roll dont worry about it)
| (Then the total amount is 2256 HP.)
| >>179455
(Lvl 47x48=2256. And she has little to nothing in terms of defence, sticks to medium and high range, while mostly relying on her flintlocks if caught in melee, using it for parrying the attacks.)
| >>179457
(You're about the highest leveled character in the party, I doubt that scares anyone, considering Tomoe is at 47.)
> Aria jolts in place, but her sleeping face is still preserved intact. There is no way a [Sleep] can last this long.
| >>179461
(Well, then it's easy for you to notice one standing in front if you. Make sure your tank is durable enough, please.)
| (but,this is a lighthearted roleplay,not math homework,
Lets get back to the RP please)
| "Mhm. Noted."
>Tomoe nods, pulling her notebook and writing down new information, using an old-fashioned feather pan for this.
"Any information about the next boss? No giant spiders, i hope? I hate spiders."
| >>179468 (ok thats just rubbing salt)
I donno we were still going to explore the residential area...
| (im sorry everyone,the bed it calls me......i cannot fight it,)
| >morphine
| "I have noticed at least two of you having optical camouflage suits in posession. Send them to scout ahead, maybe?"
>Tomoe tilted her head, looking at Nova, and Reina later on.
"The more information we have - the easier it will be to advance further for us. Mostly, hostile forces position and what they consist of. Then i will pick the best way to strike on them."
| > Aria slowly wakes up — she rises from her sleeping body and her eyes open rather sluggishly.
"—G.. good morning."
> She yawns, stretching her hands, greeting the.. "morning" she have.
"What did I—.. wait, what happened?"
| "Welcome back... Um, sorry, i don't know your name yet. Name's Mami. The latest addition to the party. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything valuable."
>Tomoe smiled, reaching out her hand to softly pat Aria's head.
"Glad you're awake. You've scared me pretty much with your prolonged sleep, you know."
| >>179490
> Aria notices her head is being patted, she reacts none to it.
"I—Uh.. I'm Aria. Sorry, I.. something must've happened."
| "Let's say... Nova's sleep happened, and everyone around the tower got struck with it. We had a talk, and, well... Now, i am a part of the party. You would use a help of the combat mage, it seems. We've been thinking of sending a scout ahead. I would've done this myself, but my coat is gone, and optical camouflage is not what i possess."
| >>179498
"Ah.. I see. The more the merrier."
> Aria's voice was still weak. Her response was short as she her focus seems to gaze elsewhere.
"—I'm.. I'm the team's lure. I go out to the front and.."
> She yawned rather softly before continuing.
"..And attack the enemy."
| "Um... are you sure you're fine? I can either make you some tea while we are not going to go further, or i would offer you my lap to sleep on as the best alternative to the rough and cold floor of the tower. It's not that i am pushing either of this on you."
| >>179529
"I'm fine. I just need to—"
> Aria equips her sword then plants it deep in the floor of the tower, making for a handle for her to stand up.
"—Ugh.. wake up—"
> Her character was more than fit and ready to fight — it seems that her player is the one struggling to stay awake.
| >Golden wakes up from a blank haze
"Hmm yes... We're still here? Oh who might this be?"
| "Oh. Another returner."
>Newest member of the party turned to the latest person awakened, with a slightly notable smile on her lips.
"Name's Mami. Nice to meet you."
| (Ryz here, i'm afraid i can't do rp for the moment. There is a scheduled blackout from morning to 6pm. And by now, my devices is already dying ._.)
| (just waiting on you guys
>morphine)
| (i'm good -Ryz)
| (Mami here.)
| >blah blah blah stuff happens and the party moves on to the industry district.
>before arriving nova asks.
So i guess ill scout ahead,you guys mind waiting here for a moment?
| >blah blah blah stuff happens and the party moves on to the industry district.
>before arriving nova asks.
So i guess ill scout ahead,you guys mind waiting here for a moment?
| >Shima nods as an agreement
"Sure..i'll wait here, dunno for the others though"
| (umm..guys?)
| (Aria here. I had stuff to take care of, sorry! I'm free for some time though, so let's do this!)
>>180313
"I don't mind. I don't have the capability to scout anyway, so I'll be a hindrance more than—"
> Aria replied, but stops as she yawns.
"—more than anything."
| >nova goes ahead to scout
>sometime later obvious sounds of struggle can be heard.
(sorry if my responses are late im playing bloodborne)
|
| (bum -Ryz)
| (>i'm ready
-Ryz)
| > Aria was immediately awakened by the sounds, but oddly, she wasn't surprised by it.
"I guess Nova did the job?"
> Her voice is still far from being upbeat, as trails of tiredness still follows it.
| (oh look..im not dead..
>morphine)
| >moments after the noise, reina appears.
I have been sent to retrieve you all,please follow me.
| "That—.. that is a nice joke, Nova."
> Aria snickered rather nervously.
"—What happened to Nova, Reina?"
| >>182175
I am unable to answer that question,my apologies.
>she then bows.
The best way to awnser is to follow me.
>as she says that There are loud metallic thuds in the distance.
| >Shima follows Reina
"Umm..where are we going to?"
| >Shima remembers what happened
"Oh..sorry for asking an obvious question, i was lost in though for a moment.."
| > Aria follows Reina closely, nodding off a possibility in her mind.
"—Sheesh, Nova. Learn to make your helper less cryptic next time."
| >reina leads the party to nova,
>he stands next to a giant metal door.
>lout thuds can be heard and seen coming from it.
I Got good news and bad news.
The good news is the boss is not a statue or spider.
The other good news is that i found the boss...

I Got good news and bad news.
The good news is the boss is not a statue or spider.
The other good news is that i found the boss...
| >Shima speaks
"I think you've said good news twice..but oh well."
>She prepares her stuffs
"Looks like we'll need to fight again.."
>She said with shrug face
| Dont you want to know what the bad news is?
| >>182274
"It's already bad, isn't it?"
> Aria replies nonchalantly.
"But go on, what's worse than a boss?"
| >>182310
No iy *is* the boss,
Its not a statue or spider,but some unholy aberration thats similar to both,and its behind *that* metal door.
>the banging on the door gets worse,as if the thing behind it is Desperate to kill *anything*.
| >>182311
"Aberration, hm."
> Aria let out a long sigh before rubbing her eyes.
"Well—.. if it is what it is, then we have figured out parts of its strength. If it's a statue, then I can't deliver any good damage against it. If it's a spider, then it can crawl up and move quickly."
> She yawns again before continuing her lengthy spaghetti of words.
"If it's both, then it's a bad time to everyone involved."
| >>182311
>Shima replies to what nova said
"Unholy? wow..it reminds me about *that game* again."
>Shima continues talking
"Since it's unholy, light elemental spell should be effective against the boss."
(The game i've mentioned was PSO2.)
(I need to go sleep now, good night)
| >the banging gets worse
Its not actually unholy,....
And i think its gonna get out soon....
| >>182319
(Good night. I'll be AFK right after I post this as well.)

> Aria unsheathes her sword, showing the imperfections in its blade — it shines thoroughly through a skill Aria is activating.
"Better not keep it waiting then."
> She activates [Sharpen], a skill she had only acquired recently, to allow for heightened damage.
| >Golden aura [Taunting prescence]
>Major self buff: Status resist++
>Minor party buff: Magic defense+
>Golden takes out his tower shield and stands infront of the party
"Looks like we are to fight our noble leader"
>Golden looks to his party members. Each one with a glaring similarity. A focus on offense and a lack of defense
"Ahh how I wish I had time to give a rousing speech of heroism."
"But all i can think of is how it would pain me to see any of you get hurt"
| >Golden stands infront of the group. Ready to spam [challenge]
| "While such noble reason is essential on its own, Golden—"
> Aria scrolls through her skill list, activating the last new skill she have after leveling up.
"—Sometimes being hurt and to see casualties are the only way to proceed, hm?"
> [Aggravate] is activated — it seems Aria plans on drawing the boss onto her instead of anyone else.
"And if I can't deal a single damage, what good am I if I'm not a glass wall?"
| >the banging gets louder, *crash*thud*bang*
>then a loud mechanical scream follows,like a mix if a pained beast and a failing engine,it was terror at its finest.
| >>183117
"Heh. A beast of hell, painted with a smear of machinery."
> Aria smirks, trying to get her drowsiness away.
"A fine enemy to mark in our history."
| >the iron doors look like they will not hold up for much longer
>the boss screams again,this time its worse, louder to the point of ringing,instead of a pained beast it sounds like the combined screams of an entire village,yet completely cybernetic at the same time,
>nova shudders
Dear god its pissed,uhh we may not have much time left...
| >>183487
"Then so be it. Release the beast!"
> Aria might have preemptively called for an early death of her party.
| First of all, why are you talking like a knight?
