Tales Of Endoroth (A Slice Of Life MMO Roleplay) (CLOSED)

Honestly, I might skip the whole level thing since I can't come up with any good spells and whatnot for your characters. Also, I was thinking about editing my last post so the Jester would attack the group. Or perhaps I should do that in my next post? What do you guys think?

@Eviledd1984

How about you allow us to pick spells or whatnot and then you can approve on them or not, if you want to do levelling system (?). As for whether Jester should attack or not, I'm fine with either.

Carnatia de Valmont

Carnatia watched as she successfully dispatched the targets, before activating her mirror image spell, as eight copies of Carnatia appeared around her. Outnumbered in such a chaotic environment, Carnatia was not sure that she could dodge all attacks even with her prescient defence, and so, Carnatia intended to increase her chance of avoiding attacks coming at her.

She then watched as Carmen fell to the ground, before Mirielle's words allowed him to regain his bearings. Carmen then called for a retreat. While Carnatia agreed with the decision to retreat, it was not as if there was a clear escape path just yet. Carnatia determined that the best course of action was to help Mirielle take out the commander. The best case—albeit admittedly unlikely—scenario, it would demoralize his soldiers to stop fighting. But even in the worst-case scenario, it should disrupt the chains of command and help them to escape.

Taking advantage of the commander being locked in a contest of strength with Mirielle, as well as the blinding discharge from Mirielle's lance, Carnatia circled behind the commander, striking at his blind spot. Her copies moved with her, all attacking at different angles, though they could not actually harm the commander, Carnatia intended them to confound, as she moved to strike at his neck.

Seeing the chaos that unfolded, Carnatia sharpened her mind, making sure her divination magic-derived defensive precognition was active, ready to respond to any attack.

Seeing flashes of images depicting two of the soldiers attacking her from her blind spot, Carnatia attempted to sidestep out of the way at the last minute, hoping to use the momentum of them suddenly missing their target to unbalance them. At the same time, she focused her mind on seeking their vital spot, looking to kill the two with a riposte.

Now that it had come to this, there was no longer any need to hold back. She doubted they would be open for cooperation after this.

_Hadena
Hiding in the Frost Technique • Akane utilizes Hiding in the Frost Technique by coalescing water vapour in the area covered by the mist and freezing them, creating mirrors that Akane can teleport to. In practice, within the mist, Akane can appear anywhere and everywhere nearly instantaneously.

_Taijutsu
Silent Fist is the basic Taijutsu style taught in Kirigakure, to serve as a basic to the village's signature Silent Killing. While not all Kiri ninjas learn Silent Killing, the academy in Kiri taught them the taijutsu style of Silent Fist, which focuses on making soundless and 'calm' movements, making it harder to predict. Advanced Taijutsu Specialists of Silent Fist can make their movements completely silent by cloaking themselves in chakra. Akane is not at this level, however, she can use Silent Fist with adequate proficiency in case she does not have access to her sword.

_Bukijutsu
Bukijutsu • Kenjutsu. A skill rather common for shinobi in Kiri, popularized by the Third Mizukage as well as the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. After joining Konoha, Akane continued to hone the Kenjutsu technique she learned in Kiri. As is common in Kiri, her kenjutsu style utilizes water release.

This is the main course chakratech in Uruha, where his members use it for spyware.

The downside is that, those with Dojutsu will find this counterproductive, because the lens results them in having tunnel vision.

_{Fū-Ra: Chakratech (Wi-Fi), Uruha Network}
A Fū-Ra is a Fūinjutsu Paradise Network that gives Shinobi, the means of accessing the World Wide Web aka the Internet/Wi-Fi.

Flashback

_Monogatari
Yuki Akane was born in Kirigakure into the Yuki Clan as the granddaughter of Yuki Samanosuke, the Fifth Mizukage. As part of a clan that traditionally is counted among the highest caste in Kiri, the Aokiri, prior to the reform, she would be born into a high noble family in the Land of Water. Since she was born after the reform, she only has few memories of a mansion in the upper-class Mizuhana District in Kirigakure, before the Enclave project happened, making the gilded walls of the Enclave where she remembered most growing up. The Enclave was the name given to the residential district in Shiomori Island—formerly the Land of Whirlpool—specifically for Kekkans, those that submitted, in any case.

When the rebellion over the Enclave project broke out, like many in the Yuki Clan, Akane’s parents chose to stay loyal to Kiri in order to honour the Fifth Mizukage's wishes. As a result, Akane grew up as part of the Kekkanjutsu users who remained loyal to Kirigakure, sequestered away from the rest of the population, marked by a cursed seal that can be activated to kill her. While serving as a ninja is not required for the Kekkan, there was little else to do in the Enclave, and so, just like all the other children within the Enclave, Akane enrolled in the academy, before participating in the infamous Brood Feast graduation exam, where she had to kill one of her fellow students, a boy from a civilian family she was sure had a crush on her.

As a genin, Akane started doing missions. Unlike the D-ranks missions given to genins in more ‘peaceful’ villages such as Konoha, for instance, Kiri genins see combat and are expected to kill or be killed. A talented genin with a Kekkei Genkai like Akane, even more so. One day, in a C-rank mission, a group of masked shinobi ambushed her team, killing everyone except for her. Rather than finishing her off, however, the group deactivated her cursed seal and brought her to the Land of Fire, specifically, Konoha.

She later found out that this was due to her father’s request. Her father had secretly been in contact with the former Third Hokage of Konoha, Shimura Danzo whom he had known in the war due to the former Hokage and his father, the Fifth Mizukage worked together as allies. Her father's request to Danzo was to take Akane away from Kiri and allow her to live in Konoha. Even back then, Akane already expected that Konoha would have her serve as their kunoichi, what she did not realize, however, was that her cursed seal was not deactivated but merely transferred ownership to Danzo.

Fulfilling the agreement only in technicality, now being the one holding Akane’s proverbial leash, Danzo conscripted Akane into his personal black ops unit, the Root under the codename of Yui. Under Root, Akane was sent on many missions, typically assassinations, her ice release made it convenient to blame the assassination on Kirigakure rather than Konoha. After Uchiha Sasuke killed Danzo, like many Root agents, Akane was reassigned to ANBU under the mask of an owl, where she remained until today.

Individuality

_Kokorononaka
As a member of the Yuki Clan in post-reformation Kiri, Akane is used to having a stigma. In order to offset it, she has long since learned how to adopt a specific persona to fit in better. A social chameleon, so to speak. This does not necessarily mean that Akane would actively try to deceive people outside of missions, but her first instinct in social situations was to fit in the best she could. Her real personality is the quiet, introverted sort, preferring reading books at home rather than going out on to drink.

Carnatia de Valmont

---

Carnatia thought over the new information provided by the Commander. While the fact that Paladin Thomas seemingly had died was regrettable—though she imaged that Westernant's government would be happy to have an indictment of Sielse's instability and the incompetence of its government to secure the region—it was still within the scope of their mission.

There were also a couple of interesting tidbits that the Commander had dropped.

First, she was right in thinking that there was a new third faction besides the Loyalists and the Revolutionaries, rather she was also right that the Loyalists had been defeated and instead a new faction made up of rebels from the Revolutionaries had risen, which indicated that the information they had of Tretagor was outdated.

Second, the fact that the 'Witch' was known to do experiments suggested that she was the one who was responsible for the Paladin's death, considering the vision we saw from the lantern.

As tension started to rise between Carmen and the Commander, Carnatia spoke up, "May I speak?".

Turning to the Commander, she continued, "You are quite right, Commander that we do wish to see the body to confirm Paladin Thomas' death, if you have it. Contrary to what you may believe, our mission directive here is not to deliver retribution but merely to bring Paladin Thomas and his entourage back, or if he is dead, to bring back a report of what exactly happened. That is all. Once we have confirmed his death and the situation surrounding his death, we will, of course, return to Westernant. From our own investigation, added together with what you said about the witch having a history of doing experiments, we have grounds to believe that she is the one responsible. If you can assist us by giving us any evidence that confirms or denies our suspicion and have us confirm Paladin Thomas' death, that would be ideal. We can finish what we came here for, and we will happily return to Westernant," turning to Carmen, she then added, "Isn't that right, Captain Friston?"

"Bless the great Czarnia!" scoffed the commander. "Westernant sent out someone so naive I almost believe this entire farce! Lady, in war, all is fair among the combatants. And both nations employed some of those lousy tactics for information. Still, the entire enterprise of shooting civilians must not be justified, nor your role in intervening in the proceedings of the local law and trespassing or domain."

@Mas Bagus

"If all is fair among combatants meant disguising spies as refugees, you have no grounds to lodge a complaint for Westernant shooting down possible saboteurs. Therefore, for the sake of a productive discussion, let us agree that both Westernant and Tretagor did what we had to do during the war, and let the past be the past. Otherwise, I suspect we will each bring up a litany of our umbrage against each other with no end in sight."

As Carmen then took over the negotiation, Carnatia followed his lead, cautiously accepting the hospitality offered. Watching the callous way the man treated one of his conscripts, as everything else it seemed like in this land, reinforced her belief that it was indeed a failed state if these were the sort of men in charge, publicly breaking decorum and flaunting a despotic rule.

Still, Carnatia was a noblewoman, one who was born to one of the foremost houses in Westernant, even. Keeping her face neutral during diplomatic negotiation was a skill she had cultivated since she could remember, and so, not betraying her thoughts, she replied to the commander's question with a polite smile,

"Well, it would be a lie were I to say that Westernant was not one of the stakeholders. However, it wasn't quite as a sponsor. Westernant merely agreed with the proposition of the order to send a team to ascertain Paladin Thomas' whereabouts. Considering that we count many of the Church's faithful among our citizens, you can imagine why Westernant had a stake in the whereabouts of one of the faith's great exemplars. I happened to work as an Adventurer for a while and was successful in an expedition to the Land of Twilight a couple of years ago. Westernant's government thought that the order could use my help and thus sponsored me. Hence, my presence here. Now then, if you would allow me some questions of my own? We overheard some of your men mentioning 'rebels' and 'a witch', may we know exactly who these people are and how much of an issue they pose in Sielse?"

Carnatia chose her words carefully, specifically emphasizing how she puts the rebels and the witch as an 'issue' for Sielse. While her personal feelings for all of the factions so far were neutral, in negotiation, it was always good to at least present the facade of being sympathetic to the other party, hence her designation of the rebels and the witch as an 'issue', hopefully placing herself and her group as a 'possible ally against a shared issue' for the commander.

Carnatia de Valmont

Carnatia accompanied Carmen and the rest into the outpost. There was a bit of argument at the gates, but eventually, Carmen managed to convince the soldiers to allow them in. Carnatia did take notice that they referred to Carmen as a 'Prince'. More likely than not, it was sarcasm than anything else, but it was something she would keep in the back of her mind just in case.

The soldiers then took the group to meet the commander, where they witnessed soldiers harshly rebuking a peasant over a rotten shipment. The sight confirmed Carnatia's previous suspicion that the soldiers they encountered on the road earlier were probably enacting a 'justice' derived from dubious legal procedure.

It was true that requisitioning peasants for supplies such as grains, especially in a time of crisis was a thing that could be done, even by Westernant's laws. But enforcing it to such a degree, from a pragmatic standpoint was unwise. Peasant rebellion may be put down easily enough, but it still took resources and had long-term unpleasant consequences. But even that aside, there was a gulf between the peasants unable to fulfil the requisition due to things legally called Force Majeure and willfully engaging in sabotage by delivering defective goods, such as what the peasant was being punished for.

Soldiers playing fast and loose with laws and punishment was a mark of a bankrupt judicial system, an indication of a larger rot in the region. What she had seen so far more and more made her think that Sielse being absorbed into Westernant was for the best for its people after all.

Finally, the commander in charge met with the group. The commander immediately brought up the incident at the border to question their intent of parley.

Carnatia replied, "Let us not forget, Commander, that when Westernant opened its border to accept refugees of your Civil War despite our status as enemies, Tretagor repaid that gesture by sending in spies along with the refugees. But, just as I am sure you are about to say that you had nothing to do with that, so do we have little to do with that debacle. So why not we put the past behind us? As for our intent, I would like to point out that we did attempt to de-escalate, only for your men to shoot at us. But even disregarding that, we do not cause any further harm than necessary, one of our own even helped heal their wounds. We could also continue to avoid law enforcement, but here we are to clear the misunderstanding. I'd like to think that proves we are coming in good faith. That said, it was undeniable that our side started the conflict, it was a rash decision by some among our numbers. For that, we do apologize."

Robert/Claudia

---

Claudia frowned as it looked like it would turn into PvP. Using the terminology of Robert, the player, this jester person might have an advantage over them, as they had already seen them fight and gathered information about their builds. Thus, they might already adjusted their equipment slots to equip the appropriate items to give them the maximum advantage. On the other hand, they were alone so their party could just gank this guy and hopefully be done with.

Thinking in Claudia's headspace...it would still line up. Perhaps not that specific terminologies, but she would understand that they had a chance to observe her group's fighting style and thus had an advantage, but was still outnumbered.

Now then, what to do...?

The player in him just wanted to PK this PK-er and have it be done with. Surely they can't solo their entire party alone. Claudia, however, was of the opinion that she would want to give the man a chance to back down. After all, when not doing the bidding of the evil god she contracted, Claudia was a kind-hearted noblewoman.

Claudia then spoke, "We vanquished that abomination. By right of conquest, the spoils of the battle are ours. You have no right to demand them. Surely you realize you are terribly outnumbered? Leave and you need not perish here."

"I understand your concern, Amaris, but I must try this. I know how their military operates, and as a field commander to another, I am optimistic we might be able to see eye to eye."

@Mas Bagus

Carnatia bit back a retort. She had already said her piece, to further argue was to eschew the chain of command. Carmen, was after all, in charge of this mission.

Despite her murky history with her family's tradition of producing famous knights for Westernant, she was born to a martial, military-oriented noble family. All three of her father's children had been prepared to take military command. So she understood the necessity of a chain of command.

Therefore, despite her misgiving, she would acquiesce to Carmen on this one.

The discussion then turned into who would go along with Carment to parley. Mirielle then volunteered herself. While Osric suggested Amaris.

...No offence to those two, but Carnatia did not have faith in them for negotiation. Still, she ought to put it tactfully. And so, she spoke, "I think Lady Amaris' assessment is correct. No offence intended, but I suspect your Sarkazian lineage would only arouse suspicion. Especially if they are with the red stripes. I've heard rumours of them holding on to backwater pseudo-arcane belief that magic inherently is evil and warps the mind. Who knows what sort of superstition they have for Sarkaz. I will go with Lady Mirielle and Captain Carmen. I am a noble and as a daughter of a Ducal Household, I am somewhat versed in diplomacy. I am not sure how much I can help, but at the very least, I think I can contribute more than were I to stay here."
