John slowly rose to his feet and began wiping his face, "Don't worry, this isn't mine. Just after Don left I got blindsided by a boar, it was all pretty much a blur, and before I knew it I was drinking the poor beast dry like some sort of juice box." he explained as he reached down and picked up his lance. The dampyre opened his mouth to mention how draining the boar had made him feel stronger when an intoxicating odor hit him, "That...that smell..." John said with a slight rasp as he inhaled deeply and slowly looked to James with glowing red eyes. John watched as blood dripped from the barbarian and swallowed audibly as he felt himself being overcome by an unsettling urge to try and feed off of the armor clad barbarian, "We can discuss what happened later Zaf'. I think it'd be a good idea if I got some fresh air." John said before bolting from the room in a blur of motion, determined to get some distance between him and James before he did something that would likely get him and the barbarian severely hurt.

"And what happened to you?" Zaffic asked James.

James laughed. "Hell's gate. I had some fun."

"Looks like it." he said. "Might want to go wash up."

Lind entered the woods, south of the starting town. The woods was gloomy as usual, it was dark inside, the only light inside are the light that penetrate through the leaves of tall trees, which is too dim. Decaying leaves makes the place darker and gloomier. Monsters in different shape, level and strength are scattered inside. Monsters in the woods are strong, their level range from 43-72.

Lind was working on a quest, to slay Kuma, a rare lvl 72 boss monster, and hoped to get a good loot from it.
He wadered around the forest, looking for Kuma, walking on its decaying grass patches. Until he came into a place where darkness grew abundant, grasses are taller and sharper and weak monsters no longer exist.

"Finally here." He smirked, pulling his blade behind him half unsheathed.

It did take bit longer than expected, but as Susanne came back along with the heavy scent of alcohol on her, she was holding her large two handed battle axe along on her shoulder. "Alright... so still had some comment on... me?" she said, wobbling slightly, as she wasn't exactly expecting most of the group suddenly be around. After all, it hadn't been but just a moment for her to take a little sip and go to her chest. Even if the alcohol was getting her bit on the edge, it wasn't doing too good for keeping her sharp, as she stumbled while trying to stand still for every other second since the weight of the axe was rather hard to adjust in her condition.

"I think you should sit down." Zaffic said, walking over to her. "You look like you can barely stand up."

From the tall grasses, a large fury gorilla-like beast with its two eyes gleaming in rage pounced toward Lind, making him dash back, dodging the attack. Surprised from the attack, Lind has no time to react, he quickly fully unsheathed his sword from his back. As he focused his sight to the monster, a green, long bar appeared above the beast with its name, Kuma, written above it.

"So it's Kuma, the king of this forest..... I will terminate you." He spoke as he aimed his sword to the raging beast. As soon as he finished talking, he swiftly dashed toward the beast, as well as the beast charged toward him. As he got closer to Kuma, he quickly swung his sword to the beast, making the tip of his sword spark as its edge slashed the monster's fury chest.

The bar above its head decreased by 5%. "Still not deep enough!" He spoke anxiously before the monster raised his arm to prepare for its counter attack.

Noah walked over to Susanne and Zaffic "Here, this should help" He said this as he pulled a potion out of his inventory, throwing it to Zaffic rather than Susanne "Get her to drink it, since alcohol should be counted as a poison within the game it might be good idea to use a cure. It may or may not work, but i would prefer to have a group that can actually think straight, rather than some of us being drunk off our asses." Noah looked around "Oh, it will probably taste like spoiled milk and cough syrup."

Kuma prepared for his counter attack, his talons grew larger and sharper and he was about to jab his large paws to Lind, but before the attack made contact to Lind, he quickly raised his blade hoping to block the attack. But the strong attack penetrated through his guard, although it was still counted as a parry, making the green bar above his head reduced by 45%.

"Dammit! I can't believe it! It's a parry but it still made that damage, I won't be able to run, this monster moves incredibly fast and the worst part is, I'm out of hp potions, I have no choice but to..." Lind quickly opened his friends list, hoping there is a friend who could help him. "... ask a help from a friend."

((who will be that friend of mine?? anyone??))

((I got it, but you shouldn't focus on fighting)
Noah opened his friends list, as a help request appeared before him. "OH, SHIT!" He said, as he accepted, teleporting to Lind.
"Why would you be fighting a monster at a time like this! Theres no telling what would happen if you died!" As he said this, he pulled out the dagger, a secondary weapon that mages could use to channel short range offensive magics. "You guard, I will cast a heal on you, and a blind on that, then you will need to go for the kill."
Noah searched his brain, realizing he did not need the menu in front of him to cast a spell.
"Holy shit, I know spells now!" He said as the staff and dagger glowed relentlessly.
"Octaris Novis!" he dagger glew immensely, and it then shot a beam at the eyes of the creature.
"Hyrim Tey' Serv!" The staff glew immensely, and then, the light shot from the staff, circling around Lind, healing his wounds.
"Incantations, spells, whatever they are, this is awesome."

(( Why not? :( ))
" You never failed me Noah." He spoke as he grinned to Noah. "But before that, We should crush this beast first."

Lind raised his sword, an orange blinding light shone on its edge. "This skill..." He yelled as he jumped toward the monster, and twisted midair with his blade pointed in front of him, gliding toward Kuma. The attack made contact with the monster, orange sparks were produced by the contact. "Tornado slash!"

The green bar over the monster's head shrunk and turned into yellow bar, remaining only 75% of hp.

"The blind will end soon, when it does I will try to Buff your defense and Debuff his."
Raising his Weapons, he aimed the dagger and staff, the 2 charging, the dagger shining with a Black light this time.
"Armiul Dais!" The Staff shone as a beam of light shot at Lind, Buffing his defense 1.5 times.
"Archial Dais!" The Dagger Shot a beam of glowing darkness at the monster, as its defense decreased by half.
Noah quickly grabbed a mana potion out of his inventory, drinking it, though it tasted like soap, regaining his Mana.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking..." Susanne grunted at Zaffic, not minding what he and Noah discussed as she glared at Dons direction. However, she turned her head back at the two as she heard something about spoiled milk and cough medicine. "Hm? What tastes like?" she asked at Zaffic since Noah was on his way already.

"This elixir that's supposed to cure poison." Zaffic said. "Noah thought it might work on your drunkenness."

Sebastian didn't hesitate to stab the opponent, who happened to also be a kobold, he wasn't truly of there kind and was there for ready to take any of them on. He sighed as on of the few he happened to be fighting called for more of there kind, he had been at it for about 15 minutes now, he was getting kind of tired. Again and again they struck at him and again an again he bashed them away and stabbed through them, they didn't give to much of anything, but he could tear through them so fast that he was getting about as much as he would fighting a boss. After a few more minutes he realized they weren't all dying by one hit, not many more but they were getting stronger. This scared Sebastian, if here health continued to raise he would be beaten eventually.

"Good, but be aware, based on the information I aquired, when kuma's hp drops lower than 50%, it will activate its skill berserk, which will increase its damage and attack speed 2x but will decrease its defense by half." Lind spoke anxiously.

As the tornado slash ended, Kuma prepared for its counter attack, Lind quickly leaped back to dodge Its attack. After he distanced away from the opponent, he followed it by a charge toward the monster, leading his sword in front of him. As soon as he got closer to the opponent, his sword sparked in electricity. The monster swung his arm trying to attack him again, Lind kneeled to evade to the attack, now that he got the right chance, he quickly but furiously jabbed his sword, soaked in electricity, toward the raging monster's stomach, Knocking it out paralized. Its Hp shrunk by 20% remaining only 55%.

"Lightning jab!"

Sebastian finished off another kobold and cheered as it gave him the rare drop he had been wanting, the kobold candle, it was an accessory that added to his fire damage, fire damage subtracted 5% of the amount he misses and of course gave him some light. As he was placed the candle in his last empty slot sebastain heard a scream 'lightning jab' it screamed. In high hopes he ran towards the scream, hoping for a rare enemy.

"HOLD ON MY SWEET, YOUR EXP SHALL BE MIIIIINE"

"Time for a mana burst then?"
Noah placed his staff into his inventory, swapping the dagger to his primary, which caused it to glow immensely.
"First, Draconic Wrath." Noah lunged at the beast, as his wings appeared behind him, and his arms were revealed from underneath his sleeves, the dagger disappearing, being replaced by a glowing white ethereal form around his claws, which hit the beast in the face, obviously injuring its eyesight.
the creatures health was at 47%
"Alright now thats nice, permanent partial blind."
The staff was taken out, Noah holding it directly in front of him, focusing on the beast.
"ARCHIS MANAR DAI" He shouted, rather enthusiastically, as a wave of white energy shot from Noah to the beast, right as its Berserk ability became active.

"Mana burst negates an ability for 5 minutes, at the cost of a percent of my mana equal to 100% - the percent of the Enemy's Health that is left, or the enemy's health that is left if it is greater. Just so you know, its a level 37 spell."
Noah stepped back "Apparently I take physical drain from magic usage, so Im going to sit out for the rest, its up to you."

"What! I don't think i can manage this alone, Noah." Lind yelled sarcastically, pretending to be humble.
Lind dashed back 5 meters away from the opponent. "For now, this is my strongest and signature skill. This will make the opponent stunned for 15 seconds." As he distanced away from the opponent, Lind switched his sword grip upside down,then swiftly raised his blade over his head, red dim light shone on its edge, but as seconds passed the light shone stronger.

Kuma thrust toward him in a great velocity, crushing everything it rammed. "Take my trump card, you bastard!" Before monster almost got him, he furiously pierced his sword against the ground, huge sharp thorns came out the ground in front of Lind within 6 meters radius, making Kuma pierced with lots of thorns and stuck on its position. The bar above the monster shrunk and turned red, remaining only 19% hp.
" This is the 'thorns of despair.' " He bragged in a serious tone. "The thorns will last for 15 seconds, now is my chance to test my new skill...The Omnislash."
