Aight, since I have so much spare time I thought I might as well start another thread. I looked for YouTube for inspirations, as its too late at night right now for me to start up my engine of a brain and come up with some of my own. Lo and behold, I came across some videos, and my engine purred to life. What videos were they of?

I'll give you one guess. (Look at thread title dolts! >.<)

Anyhoo, I'm making a thread that goes like this. It takes place after Ifrit and Co. fight Regrasoon (Stupified thread in Akashima section, unfinished) so obviously its liquid timed, to forewarn you. Ifrit and Regrasoon, now the traveling pair, show up at a medium-sized village, the size of it borderlining on it being called a city. Ifrit's looking for money and a job, so of course he seeks out the nearest Bounty Office. The Officer there doesn't recognize Ifrit, of course, and is very belligerent to the demon up to the point where Ifrit boasts that he can handle any job, no matter what its difficulty is.

The officer, being a devious, sadistic man that he is, gives Ifrit a tough job: to gather the hides and some other body parts of several exotic creatures terrorizing the nearby countryside of Akashima. Ifrit is glad to get the job, naively thinking he can handle it on his own, until he sees what monsters are on the list. Meanwhile, Regrasoon had gone off somewheres to "investigate a personal matter" and he comes back to see that the demon is in a near state of panic. Regrasoon, always calm-headed, tells Ifrit that he should "hire" other warriors to fight the monsters with him. Ifrit wakens from his retard moment ("Oh yeah!") and goes off with Regrasoon to find warriors who will be willing to fight alonside him. For a price, of course...

The monsters that we would be fighting are:

First Battle: 2 Wyverns

-Note: These wyverns possess the ability to spit acidic poison and have about a 25' wingspan. They are slightly bigger than young dragons. Battle would be fought near a rock-face cliff.

Second Battle: Taurusk

-A creature that is uncommon around Althanas, it appears to be a gigantic bull with white hair and six legs. It has 3 horns, two protruding from its head and one from underneath its jaw, and on its back is a third eye. Despite its size, it is very fast, and unstoppable once it picks up a speed of 30mph running. A character would have to have over 5x strength in order to stop it at that speed. Battle to be fought on grassy plains.

Third Battle: Earth Serpent/Hydra

-While at first it seems to be a simple variant of the monster Ifrit avoided in his Citadel battle against the mriswith (of devils and swords, also unfinished), once its head is chopped off it regrows three new ones. Size is about 50' tall, 20' in width. Battle to be fought in cavern (think cartoon Hercules)

Final Battle: 3 Lizardmen???

-This one seems kinda obvious, dontcha think? Anyways, battle to be fought right after Hydra battle, in same cavern.

Spoils for each battle: In addition to any that you might recieve on your own, these battles come with their own spoils.

1st battle: Wyverns get 300 gold to each character, Dragon Scales and dragon claw if players choose to disect the beasts. (Wyverns are treated as adolescent/young dragons in this respect)

Second Battle: each player gets 200 gold, Tusk of the Taurusk(strong bone) to three characters, Third Eye(Has special properties, may be investigated upon)

Third Battle: Each player gets 400 gold, Snakeskin Leather (tougher than ordinary leather), Giant Tooth (can only carry one, as hard as rock)

Final Battle: Mriswith Claws x3(Actually they are three swords attached to a wrist bracer, blades are as strong as prevaldia), one person may get Cloak of the Chameleon (allows wearer to fade into their sorroundings if they have magic power -- to those without, it is nie useless except as a good cloak for protection against desert winds. Note that the mriswith are not part of the list and you won't get paid for defeating them.

-----

I'm looking for 3-4 other people to join. I've made positions for what kind of characters I want, but regardless of even if your character does not fit under the categories please post. I'm looking for level 1 characters and up, but I'll accept some 0's regardless, just make sure that caution is key. Positions to be filled:

Leaders (make good split second decisions): Regrasoon (Npc)
Heavy Warrior (big weapons or attacks): Ifrit Obsidian and Lucis twins.
Tank (can soak up damage):
Healer (self explanatory, should be fairly proficient): Ataraxis
Sniper (can be magic user):
Weapons Master: Regrasoon(Npc)(swords and blades)
Ranger (a must: tracker and hunter): Lucis twins (unconfirmed)

Please post here if you have any questions or want to join.

I'll give people another week or so to post in this, if you haven't made up your minds. If no one does, I'm closing this thread with my un-modly powers. ;) You know what I mean.

If any of my current threads end relatively soon, I'd be willing to join with either Adelia or the Lucis girls. I'll check back when I'm not half dead and tired.

The Lucis girls would be more suitable for this quest, but Adelia might get more training if she followed Ifrit and Regrsoon. The lucis girls would go under heavy weapons, Adelia under sniper, if Regrasoon teaches her a certain technique. ;) Anyways, its your call.

I'd prefer it if you didn't join this one and focused on our duel. No offense, but with your character's "abilities" at this point I would have to kill your character off, either that or the quest would be too easy because of Omega and his "flash stepping" ability. Mriswith are equal to level 3-4 characters.

My apologies. I hope you understand that this isn't anything personal but I'm doing this out of necessity.

Spellsword and Co. is denied.
Angel of Light and Co. is accepted.

As long as you deliver on your promise of adequate payment, we'd be willing to set aside your transgressions for a time.

I guess I'll go for the healer position! There aren't many on Althanas, and you did ask so nicely. But hey, listen. My services don't come cheap. I get all the spoils, and you guys don't die.

DEAL?

Thought so.

well honestly archer is most normal so i think he could fill the sniper position, but sure w/e im just on my way out and ill post in our duel when i get there

Seth_Rahl
11-05-07, 07:23 PM
Archer would be too weak then: I need someone with long range attacks that is better than "fairly adequate", Omega.

Lol, Ataraxis. Whatever you say.

Ataraxis is accepted. Taking position of Healer.

Lucis takes position of Heavy Warriors alongside Ifrit Obsidian and/or Ranger due to hive mind ability.

Ataraxis

If you can, sucker Jake Narmolanya into this quest. Self-proclaimed best bowman of Althanas should count for something!

And hey, I'm not on the list. Do something about it, or healings shall not be administered!

Must stop playing clerics in MMOs. It gets to ya. Like a sizzle-hot WHAMMER JAMMER!

lol DONT MAKE ME PULL OUT MY CLERIC lol

What's his username?

Ataraxis
11-05-07, 10:36 PM
That would be... Jake Narmolanya.

How anti-climactic!

Here (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=8376), you little rascal, you.

Heh, you girls have to get into groups to kill things.

Lucis
11-05-07, 11:40 PM
I'm sure you wouldn't mind if we teamed up to get you.

*cough*

All right, Seth, just remember that Tanae isn't going to like working with you... and the only reason I can get the dots over the e in their names is because I type my posts out in Word.

It would be great to see that one day.

You can all read about me killing things on my own in my JC winning thread, Slayer's Strife: A Lost Path today!

The true purpose of a group is summed up by this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0042.html)!

It's really only badass when there are witnesses.

Dan, I dare you to fight my mriswith alone. I dare you. Bwahahahaha. There is no doubt that you would get pwned. Cuz in this I'm even using the weaker mriswith. Bwahahahaha.

Anyhoo, I understand that, Lucis. That'll make the story more interesting. Ataraxis I sent him a pm.

Edit: Dan, if you want I'll roleplay as a full-strength mriswith if ya wanna fight one. But the only ones who could handle more than one full strength mriswith is Dissinger, Letho, INDK, and the other high rankers.

Full strength mriswith abilities include: Rapid "teleportation", full invisibility (regular mriswith get the ability to fade into their sorroundings, full strength protects from both sight and sensing them.), their "claws" are made out of a stronger metal than titanium, and some magic use. They also have a semi vampiric ability to turn those they deem "worthy" into mriswith themselves when they are defeated.

Wanna fight one? :)

I still haven't got a response from him, so I dunno about Jake. So far we need a tank, hunter, potential sniper, and mebbe a ranger.

Ranger can be hunter/sniper/tracker blah blah blah. So we need, then, a tank and ranger. Ugh.

Hello all, sorry this took so long. I hadn't signed on to this account since registering it.

As long as this thread promises to stay active and be completed, I'm in. If you check out Jake's profile you'll see he's actually an amateur demon hunter, and his skillset is particularly refined for the purposes of destroying monsters.

EDIT: Jake is also a trained hunter/tracker. I say we take the people we have and get this thing started. Also, consider the possibility of moving this thread to Salvar or Raieara for the second round of the FQ. Double xp doncha know...

Alright then, Jake. I don't know when this'll start, but when it does it'll be active. I'll post here to let you guys know.
