@Jedly looks that way. Everyone's hanging out now. Apparently fighting bears. Mai'lo just went hero and almost got his ass nailed to his head as a hat. :)

With three of them attacking the bears Mai'lo rushed forward toward the last of the monsters. "Everyone keep back!" He roared. Last thing he needed was for someone to get too close and for him to hit them with his sword.
The bear struck as he approached and he ducked, letting its massive arm shoot past his head. With a loud roar he stood and swung as hard as he could from his left to his right. The gigantic sword sliced right through the bear leaving a line of angry, digitized red across its body.
As the sword exited the other side he let it's weight and momentum carry it around, making him spin on his heel until he had come a full 360 degrees and he swung agin, slicing a second line through the creatures body.
It roared and reared back and he brought the sword around and up, bringing it straight down in a powerful strike that left a third line of red bisecting the creature right down the middle.
Its health bar dropped into the red. Lower, lower. The moment before it hit zero it struck out one last time and with almost no time to react he raised his arm, dragging the sword up so the flat of his weapon was between him and the bear. The blow was solid and his own weapon slammed into his chest, sending him flying a good fifteen feet back through the air to land on his back with a heavy thud.
A moment later the creature explodes into a million tiny shards of digitized light.
"Ouch," he muttered. A glance at the ever present health bar showed his life had dropped by half with just one partially blocked blow. 150/300
"Gods, that was a little too close."

Mai'lo slowed to a stop when he saw Iris disarm and k ock several of the characters to the ground. The ones on the virtual dirt all had life bars in the red but they appeared to be NPCs? That didn't entirely track. He'd thought NPCs couldn't attack players like that.
He shrugged it off a moment later as they fled, several leaving their weapons behind. Iris was left with two players that appeared to have helped her against the thugs. He wasn't sure entirely what'd happened but he straightened up, still keeping his hand near his sword just in case.
"Alright, Iris?" He called out.
"I come in peace!" At the sound of the new voice Mai'lo reacted without thinking, spinning sharply to his right and drawing the massive sword in a single fluid motion. He thanked his foresight for putting a stupid number of points into his strength. He wouldn't be as awkward with the huge weapon as most people would automatically expect.
"One of these days people are going to stop sneaking up on me, right?" He asked of no one in particular. "I'm really getting tired of jumping out of my pixels at every fecking turn." He straightened up, lowering his guard n slightly but he didn't return the sword to its sheathe, holding the weapon low and to his left where he could quickly bring it up in a devastating horizontal slash if need be.

@Tracyarmav actually were kinda running right at each other, not away.
I have not a titan pad option but you're right. Collaboration posts would be better. I'll get something going so we can finish off the fight.
Dude with a stupid huge sword rushing in! This should be entertaining. Lol.
Mai'lo started to laugh at the memory of the ballistic sandwich but choked it off a moment later, a frown creasing his brow. "Anyone else hear yelling?" He asked.
He took a few steps past Tailpin, looking ahead in the direction that Iris had run. It was hard to make out, the distance making everything smaller but there definitely appeared to be a battle underway, and no easy sign of Iris.
"Come on, guys, Iris might be in trouble." Without waiting for a response, and hoping they followed he broke into a run, bent low with on hand grasping the hilt of his sword for stability while his legs churned like pistons, propelling him forward at a startling pace for a man his size.
As he ran the health bar that constantly floated within his field of vision caught his eye. 300 hp, level 4. Gods, I hope that's enough. he thought.

Ryan grinned, a little shiver of excitement running through him. "Been a while since I had a good sparring match, I'll be honest." He tilted his head from side to side to cracked his neck and started swinging his arms to loosen his shoulders.
"Ye up for a friendly match, little man?" He asked Red. "No offense, by tha way. There's notin wrong with bein' on the shorter side, an' yer still growin'... I'm just gonna shut up now and get ready ta fight, 'fore I embarrass meself anymore."

Mai'lo shook his head and sheathed his sword with a hissing rasp of steel. "No need," he said, holding his empty hands up to the newcomer. "Sorry, we're all a little jumpy. We did just discover that we're all trapped inside a death game."
He took a step forward and held out his hand for him to shake. "Names Mai'lo. We decided to party up, figuring safety in numbers." Mai'lo introduced everyone else ending wirh, "and Iris ran ahead, she was feeling restless so she's scouting the path."
