The soldier's knife, actually had blood on it. A detail that was a little difficult to notice from its black coating with the dark red upon it. It seemed like he had, used it fairly recently. At least the weapon wasn't turned toward Masahiko as they began to investigate the situation.

The soldier would hear Masahiko, and pause. They raised a brow and would take an extra few seconds to respond.
Their voice was halting, and struggling with the pronunciation of the words. They weren't fully fluent in the land's native language, but they could at least understand it.

"I, look for, big... man. Monster, man. He, hurt, friend."
The soldier would pause for a moment. Struggling to find the words. "Now, friend is... dry? Like, bean."

Naaaaaaaaaaw XD
But am thinking of certain ideas~

Tales Of Endoroth (A Slice Of Life MMO Roleplay)

Jaiden was probably just as relieved as his character had been when the ceiling would stop falling apart. It was especially a relief as he was just barely controlling to keep his sphynx out of the way of it all. It was difficult to avoid on his current virtual reality hardware, which was a generation or two older. It did make it a bit harder to move around whilst also looking at awkward angles like directly above. Zooming out to third person, wasn't currently allowed due to settings.

Jaiden did however notice an odd silohutte in the shadows as light continued to flood the room. He could vaguely make it out to be humanoid which was, odd. But hardly had the time to piece things together before the jester would end up revealing himself in the light and introducing themselves.

He'd flick a tab here Goibniu to drink one of the starter playing potions to give him a bit of time. It would give light healing to Goibniu and give him an excuse to mess with something else.
Given a couple of hot keyed buttons on his hand controllers, Jaiden would turn on video recording. Along with opening an in depth logger for the game. It'd be a pain to decipher later, but it should help track things.
Maybe he could do more, but that would be risky and perhaps disrupting for a multitude of reasons.
It would take a minute or two, leaving Goibniu fairly silent to respond until well after Howitzer yelled out.
Goibniu would have probably finished the potion by then.
The few he had.


Goibniu the character, would stare at the jester and drink down a potion. Before standing there in silence for a few moments. Perhaps alluding to being deep in thought, or something else. Either way the Jester would get an cold blank stare for a couple minutes or two.
He would have heard about the Jester one way or another by now.
Actually seeing them show up, especially on their first dungeon crawl with a rather scrapped together and random party seemed a highly unlikely situation.

Neither the character nor the player would trust this figure. Although both would have similar thoughts of surviving a bout with them, minimal chance. Even less after a boss giving the team organization skills and structure weren't honed or likely strong enough yet. Given how the rogue had managed to slaughter through a guild search party or two prior. Fighting immediately seemed a bit fruitless without the preparation, and there was a bit more to know, to find out. What Goibiniu wanted may-

"I do have to admit, I don't quite appreciate criticism of one of my fellow members from a rogue who'd rather hide away than contribute. Especially one who's not in this party themselves."
Goinbiu huffed.

"But, while I can't speak for the party I do have a suggestion to make up for your insult. How about you join us and then head onward with us so that we'll retrieve the artifact. I'll even hand the item over myself if that's agreeable among everyone here. Otherwise,... why even show yourself to persons who don't have the artifact for your boss? It would benefit all of us to at least observe the thing, and your boss might be happier to hear about... some willing to assist if he can expand his purpose."
Goibniu would bargain.
Not wanting to witness a total loss. His arm vaguely outstretched as if to block Howitzer from approaching.
Although his automaton would be shield defensively in front of him either way from its automated command.

While Goibniu would wait for a response back.
A message would pop up in team chat:

Team Chat: Goibniu_The_Waylander: Would someone kindly pick up items for me? Probably going to be the first to drop, but let's see. @AwesomeZero5

This attempt would work in multiple ways. If the bargain did work, then Goibniu would still get a chance to hold and see the artifact for himself and thus in character research it to a lesser degree , whilst keeping him alive. It could open opportunity to find out more about the jester, and incidentally perhaps some other assassins in Goibniu's background. Although that backstory was made for roleplaying purposes rather than 100% accurate to the game, it was something to consider.

Secondly, if Goibniu received the item, put in inventory to trade over to the Jester. Jaiden might be able to find a bit more information.

Thirdly, if Jester reacted to the team chat, it would just verify that it was 100% in fact an active hacker instead of some other unusual happenstance. Sometimes games had weird promotions, or underlying issues that weren't fixed, or over-layered in beta.

Fourthly, and perhaps most importantly. It should give his team mates a minute or a few seconds to recharge their cool down skills.
If they were going to die anyways, may as well try and last as long as you could and get some info out of it.

Think there's been a bit of a mixup.
The human soldier isn't injured just very tired & wild looking, and at the entrance.

While another larger creature/character is hiding on the grounds.
The one mentioned to be ogre like is injured.

Starter Post

Now that the sun has dropped from the horizon, the cicadas chirped in the fields and fireflies started to light up the fields. The forest standing tall and wide in the fields, the Shinto Shrine gates connected the town of Nintai with its inner workings. Through the twists and turns in the tall trees that seem to stretch up to the sky, lies an unnamed shrine. Despite how humble and small it is, it is well-kept and is well known among Nintai and is respected among the people.

A girl wearing a traditional Miko outfit walked towards the main house next to the shrine carrying a lantern and a broom. It was clear that day that she was there since the afternoon cleaning the area as the shrine was neat and tidy. Closing the door behind her as she entered the house, she hung the lantern around the broom, placed them against the wall and took off her shoes.

The house wasn’t big, only consisting of a single floor, the main door connecting to the living room and bathroom and two open door frames leading to a bedroom and a kitchen.

A small sigh escaped the girl's lips before she walked into the bedroom where a male with pink-tinted brown locks in a futon, his skin pale from illness. Kneeling next to the male, the girl lifted the damp towel from his forehead and sprinted to the bathroom to resoak it into cool water. After dashing back to the male, she placed the towel back onto his forehead with a worried look on her face.

"Please get well, brother."

Some years have passed and Nintai was filled with travelling adventurers and residents alike. Since the years that have passed, the air has been more uplifting and lively. Away from the bustling streets was the male from the nameless shrine, quiet yet poised as he walked around the shrine. It's been nearly a year since the current mind has been reincarnated into the current body. Apparently, he was Masahiko Miyamoto, the heir of the nameless shrine and the older brother of Masako Miyamoto.

As much as he appreciates a new life, he couldn't handle the responsibilities of being an heir of any kind. Passing the role of the next heir to Masako, he was able to get a medicine job in an adventuring guild. Enjoying his freedom from his work and the potential workload from being the heir, Masahiko kept pacing around the shrine after his shift, unaware of what’s to happen next.

@honeysweetestco

A large majority of the day had passed by as the it crawled closer to evening a figure would appear on the horizon. A, somewhat hobbling and large one at that! The day would have some slight surprises for Masako upcoming at a struggled pace. The figure, likely a man wrapped all in various cloth and robe had struggled their way toward the shrine out of distress. The large figure was holding onto their side, were a clear dark stain had formed under their hand. They were bleeding from one wound or another. They needed to get away to safety, and perhaps gain medical attention to spare them.

The frame of the figure as it grew closer would look something akin to an ogre, or some other form of Mogwai to most. The figure stood just over six feet tall, and had a rather wide and likely rotund figure to them as well. While most of them had been covered in foreign robes. One of which resembled a long tunic with various baggy folds, and a large poncho type cape of sorts that had been thrown and tied around into a make shift hood. A style of clothing that looked foreign to the area, and perhaps the era as well.
Their burly arms, and some of their legs were revealed while they were running. Showing a dark faded green pigmentation on both, almost a grey in color.

The large figure would managed to to run himself into the shrine grounds, and practically throw himself with the shrubbery. His tunic matching the dirt, and the cloak along with the rest of their body nearly blending in with the leaves. They held onto their wounded side, and tried to steady their breath for the moment.
Wanting to hide, or at least find a moment of sanctuary.

Less than a breath or so after, a human figure in western attire and bearing a flag of a western nation came walking along. They wore a soldier's uniform, and seemed armed with a long knife as they stalked about. A grip of fear and tiredness in their eyes.
Slowly walking their way toward the shrine, but never going past its gates, or onto is grounds. Still, looking about with a heightened wariness.
The soldier, may just slipped past if left alone.

Although the soldier, was definitely looking for someone, or something. They were clearly on edge, and perhaps dangerous.

okie dokily.
We're in business.

Tales Of Endoroth (A Slice Of Life MMO Roleplay)

"Well that certainly is unsuaul to be in a paladin's divine skill tree. Unless it was oath breaker-"
Jaiden looked at Claudia's tendril's of protection stated more than his character Goibniu, but his mike hadn't been muted. Either way, both would be a little bit surprised by both the spell itself and its appearence. Especially when combined with the eldtrich blast that the Claudia had launched out a breath later.
It made Jaiden all the more curious as to what set up or skill path Claudia had been using, or perhaps if there was a separate multi-class system he had overlooked. He had gone into the game, semi-blind to keep certain things an interesting surprise here or there.

"YEP!"
Goibniu had call back toward Elian's thanks.
He had to rush his focus back to, well, avoiding the previous mass of enemies that were up and about. Even though, thankfully most of them were being picked up off by the rest of the crew that were along with him or had been warned of his approach with the door minions to be certain.

Goibniu would let out a disgruntled groan of slight disgust at the purple pile that was spat toward Claudia & Uriel. Not to mention the blood-burst that followed from the spawn being defeated after being touched by the 'buff' of sorts. Maybe it was also a bit at Howitzer's fiery language.
Out of Character, it seemed pretty awesome to watch and another fun design element to the game. He would keep that part too himself for now. He wasn't entirely sure what the blood, bile and so-on did in its entirery but it definitely added some nice flavor to the whole situation around them.

"YESSSSSSSSSSSHIIIIIIIIIIIT! AND BACK I GO!"
Jaiden would transition from the excitement of Howitzer hitting the boss' eye during the frey. It seemed rather effective, but also caused parts of the ceiling to start tumbling down. Which would lead to even more, evasive movements from Goibiniu the character. Being as he was, designed to be a slower character, and the fact that he was one of the larger characters in term of the square amount of space he took up. He couldn't really afford to slow down, as much. Even then he was getting scratched here and there by debris!
He'd start to retreat back toward Elian's direction, just to keep himself from drawing anymore unwanted attention, or... quickly dropping in health.

At least, he was able to be clear of the minions.. or most of them!
As he lead them right toward Rath's AOE pull , and thus away from himself.
Double timing as Claudia mentioned to be casting an area wide spell! Which, he didn't really have the time to decipher exactly how large that was to begin with.
Instead he began charging his Stunning Shock: once more, in case he had to help fend off anymore aggravated tentacles. It didn't normally take so long to cast, but since he was constantly moving, the 'up-time' on the spell got disrupted and thus slowed.

The massive pillar of fire did grant the room a wondrous lighting effect. Especially when the fire blast was far behind Goibniu now. As he focused on, retreating and keep himself from being as marred.

He wasn't quite sure, but the player Jaiden felt off in a way. Something, felt... off. Perhaps it was the lack of a third person view and multiple characters or multi-boxing to control that he had done years ago. But it felt like, he may be missing something. He typically could see the battlefield situation fairly well in third person at least. But the feeling was similar to that of when and unknown debuff symbol had appeared on a character's bar, and it hadn't noticed immediately.
It may have simply because his back was briefly turned to the blazing Inferno & Storm of attacks that was Claudia & Rath.

But, Jaiden was a bit on guard.
He would start, looking around with increased observation.
Maybe he missed a minion around here or something, but, he felt he was missing something and it needed to 'click'.
Either way, he should well be in range of Elian to not die , so it wasn't as an imminent of a danger.
Maybe the burst of fire would produce enough light to notice something, he hadn't before.
