hope I did the "looks like a girl" look right. Not a drawfag so somewhat limited in ability. Also hope I did the angry grill look right

Well at least you will admit whoever coded this girl held back nothing in the looks department, the girl had a cute face with a bright blonde crown of long hair. However any good looks were ruined by her facial expression which would make any man fear for his “son” for it was a scowl that would even make the gods retreat.

“I will repeat only once, who are you and what have you done with my friends?" she whispers whilst digging the dagger at your throat a bit deeper.

Well it’s not you will die even if her blade digs into your neck as player characters are basically imbalanced bastards that won’t die unless their hp drops to zero or their head was separate from their head or something.

You reply that
>(truth) You killed her friends because they were red players and you wanted their loot. You also saved her in hopes for a reward.
>(half-truth) You killed her friends because they were murderers and to save her
>(lie) You were just walking and found her sleeping alone

I made it on time. Nice.

You've chosen a bad time to run, with Totemist and AEQ up at the same time.

>>34489998
Oh yeah, totemist is resuming today.

Guess this is the most I can hope for. Writing

>>34489959
Like I said last thread, I'll be here for this quest whenever I can. Waiting for the NPC in honor of my efforts to not fight.

Both Totemist and AEQ got nat 1(twice) as their 1st roll. Careful with what you guys decide to roll

>>34490103
You decide that its best to play it safe and tell her a half-"truth". It's not a lie... You just hope you don't do anything stupid enough that makes her realise your lie.

You push her knife away from your throat easily as you answer
"I will admit I did kill them." The knife stabs towards your throat however you easily catch her hand as you continue.
"HOWEVER, I only did it because I did not realise they were your friends. Did you realise they were murderers who are red-marked? I was just trying to save you..." you calmly state whilst casually glossing over the fact that you were only attempting to save her in hopes of a reward.

She glares at you as you answer this whilst growling
"So what you're saying is that you are not only an murderer but an idiot too. You do understand that you have to take responsibility for this right?" she calls out arrogantly as
>You have received a quest
1/2

>>34490299
>Take Responsibility

>>34490299
>you have to take responsibility
But I'm too young to be a father! And we don't even know each other's name.

>>34490299
>You have received a quest
Young Nobles Debt
Rank: A-
The minor noble Marinda of house Almarrion has "requested" (read: forced) you to pay back your "debt" by finding all 4 of her friends with her. Quest will complete when all her friends are found. Do note that she currently believes that you killed them because you thought they were kidnapping her. Equipment and other items of the red players will be expected to be given back to them when you meet them. Note that players may or may not attack you due to previous engagements.
Reward: Nothing
Time limit: Until the noble dies or drops the request

You're about to click the decline for this quest when you suddenly realise... you can't. The decline is greyed out and you have no choice in this matter. You swear at the coders railroading as you realise you just got stuck with an escort quest with no reward. You think that maybe you should've knocked her out after all as you sigh.

>NPC Exploring adventurer Marinda has joined your party

Well best to make the most of this you guess, at least you got a good usable meat shield if anything goes wrong.

"So...any ideas on how I'm meant to find these friends of yours?" you ask in the vain hope that they would be nearby so that you can dump her and get back to your fetch quest however...
"I know it's this way. The rest is your job. You owe me after all" she answers in curt phrases with barely a glance towards you as she randomly starts walking the way opposite to the mountain.

A system prompt quickly pops up,
>As you are part of an escort quest, do note that you cannot stay more than 20 metres away from your target
Sigh...

You should

Be obstinate.

>Try and convince her to come on your fetch quest first

>>34490636

I wonder if those "friends" of her got forced into accepting this quest in the same way we did..
They killed the n/pcs that where actually doing the quest in the 1st place thinking of an easy loot and got the "quest you can't refuse".

>>34490636
>Try and convince her to come on your fetch quest first
Tell her it's for the Lady. If she's a noble she will probably not want to be the one who gets blamed.

>>34490772

"Wait!" you call out however the girl barely notices you and just keeps briskly walking on.
With no other option, you decide that now its time to show off all the "masterful" knowledge you have of socialisation... Okay nevermind, its time to show of all the masterful knowledge you have with dealinng with NPCs in other games.

At times like these its best to simply lie, you've already lied a bit so might as well keep going.
"Actually, I think your friends are this way" You point towards the mountains with your thumb whilst keeping a monotonous expression.

She gives you a glare before she keeps walking the way shes going.
"Didn't I just say its this way?" You call out to her whilst attempting to keep calm however she simply grins with a snarl (yes her grin was a fucking snarl) as she answers.

"Are you trying to imply I'm wrong?" Wonderful, she's a fucking stuck up bitch (even if she is probably right). Guessing that you should probably change tactics you state that

"I'm currently already on a quest, I cannot afford to waste ti-" your voice is cut off by the dagger like scowl she shows you as she answers with cold anger
"You killed my friends. Do you know how hurt I am? You think taking responsibility is a joke? A waste of time?" Her voice slowly grows louder as she stalks towards you dagger in hand. You decide that it might be best to change tactics. She's a noble right? Maybe she would understand if she knew it was a quest from the lady.
"I'm on a quest for the lady currently, you're a noble right, you should understand her displeasure if I were to not finish this quest. I mean I'm no use to you if I'm in jail or dead or something" You quickly say as you do your best to bullshit your way through.

She stops and with what you think might actually be thought, she contemplates for a moment before agreeing "just this once". You get the feeling that whatever favour or other relationship this game uses with NPCs, you probably lost any last of it with her just than.

Day 2

You are currently still in plains with nothing noticeable besides the mountain and a few villages in the distance.

>Read the previous thread
Christ, I JUST left. The fuck are you guys doing?

I'm pretty sure all the points on the player side were well discussed, so I won't rant. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I've seen terrible decisions made before. I even made one of them.

On >>34489455 YOU though.

We don't have whip mastery or special moves involving whips, and we certainly don't have the prior experience to do a GET OVER HERE.
Wraith Dust to the face was good.
Having enough strength to raise a fallen warrior guy as a meatshield fast enough was not.
The problem with the pragmatic fighting, ie. the eye gouging and choking part, is that:
>We have not done it before
>it freaks people out, which you did.
>it freaks the USER out, and we have no prior justification that MC has a background where he is comfortable doing this.
Any reasons of this being a VRMMO making it easier can also be reversed for the red players freaking out. If salvaging wolves made this easier, the red players should have seen their fair share of blood and gore as well.

I get that we may have been lucky on many fronts and the red players were low level enough to not have considered some of the more realistic implications of combat, but being able to do all that without hesitation makes MC here far more similar to Miss ex-GM than expected.

So basically: don't bend over backwards to make "impossible" fights winnable. Aside from that, it's fine, even though the actual cost of winning is that MC is a disturbed individual.

>>34491323
>check party screen to see any skills/stats we have not seen before on girl
>Probe her for her interests. Point out flowers, herbs, monster weakpoints, processing food, talk about magic, basically see how "adventurer" she is. (And try to learn from her, but that comes later.)

>>34491432
You decide that you may as well spend the day getting to know your scowling companion... jeez its like glares and scowls are the only faces she knows. Jeez, her sleeping face was actually pretty cute, how the hell did she even manage to screw that up with her scowl you will never know.
Along the way you chat about various random things... and by chat you mean talking to her whilst she gives you no reply besides a glare or a one word answer at best. How the hell can this girl even hate you so much... It's not even like you killed her friends permanently or anything.

sigh...

One day she seems to have run out of her own food as she tries her best not to keep glancing towards your bread and water. You're pretty limited in bread and water however you guess that she can have some? After feeding the angry female dog some, she states imperiously
"I'll answer any one question truthfully as payment, have to repay all debts after all" before adding under her breath "Responsibility is like that... not that you understand". Great, even when she's eating your food, she hates you.

You decide to use this chance to ask about
>Her past
>Her future
>Her friends
>Her as a person
>writein

>>34491654
The MC is more disturbed than you can even hope to realize. I don't really want to spoiler an more than this. As a hint I'll tell you this, why is the only payment for the hospital? Aren't there normally other payments?

>>34491654
I tried my hardest to have us avoid that fight, and then when we did get into it, I expected us to lose badly.

>>34491668
>Her friends

>>34491668
>Her friends

>>34491752
To tell you the truth, I was expecting us to die from the thief's backstab or get cleaved by the barbarian's claymore.
Thief crit failed and than kept rolling like an idiot.
Barbarian rolled well but we rolled better.
Mage and Archer did average but they freaked the fuck out like normal people do when facing someone like the MC.
We honestly should've lost however luck + unexpected wraith dust kind of won the fight.

You decide that with this "once in a lifetime" (okay not really) chance, you may as well find out a bit more about her friends.
"...I mean, how does a noble girl like you even become friends with mur-"
You ask before the glare stops you as you correct yourself "good adventurers like them?"
"And how exactly is that any of your business?" She scowls as with a sigh she begins explaining.
>She was a minor noble's daughter and was getting tired of noble life. She had seen adventuring heros as a child and had wanted to become one.
What is she? A freaking child or something? It's like those kids who watch super hero shows and than want to become a superhero.
>She was lucky
>She befriended some traveling adventurers whilst out
>They were really nice, Nicholas was cool, Jack was funny, Sam was wise and Quinn was quite knowledgeable
You get a feeling that her view might be "slightly" biased and slanted
>She decided to ditch her noble life and travel with them. They declined but she convinced them by "force of her dazzling personality"
orly
>Her father sent adventurers to get her back from the "kidnapping by evil bastards"
>The end

You get a feeling there might be alot more to the story however it seems that she is no longer willing to say anything.

Over the course of the day, the sun drops down from the sky as the moon shines its light animals dance in the moonlight as some sleep and some awa... however that's all meaningless to you as you spend the whole day and night traveling ever onwards with the occasional stops for herb lore and for when the noble girl "complained" (read: threatened).

It seems that you were lucky that this area of plains had various plants to pick, whilst there were no plants that were "special" or "rare", you did manage to pick plenty of plants
>+alot of herblore plants (enough to regain about 40hp, although you're going to need to spam click alot)
Enough that you even managed to gain two levels and a bit in your skill levels

Beneficial Herblore health/mana regen (beginner level 3 25%): You are talented so you gain exp significantly faster among other benefits. You can identify (to a moderate success) plants that are useful for health and mana regen. You can also apply the herbs to yourself effectively (120%). You do not know how to turn the plants into potions.

Beneficial Herblore status help (beginner level 3 5%): You can identify (to a moderate success) plants that are useful for status help (e.g. blind/stun/etc.). You can also apply the herbs to yourself moderately effectively (70%). You do not know how to turn the plants into potions.

You wondered if the noble girl cared at all however it seemed that she had no complaints or interests... she was more than happy to let you pick herbs if it meant she could rest a bit. Guess noble girls don't have high stats? You decide that now would be a good time to check the party screen and see her stats if their viewable.

It also seems that you need permission from the owner of the stats/equipment to read any more. You give a glance at the girl "ignoring you" (as in looking at every direction except at you, seriously was this girl a child or something. That is NOT how you ignore someone) as you decide to.

You decide that if you're going to travel with this girl than you need as much information about her as possible.

Although it might get her angry, the truth that you need her information to fight against monsters with her better and the lie that you need her information to "teach" her about becoming an adventurer... help persuade her.

Well...at least that's what you thought before you were glared half to death by her. She also refuses your "help" as she's already learned everything she needs (supposedly) from her friends.

Well you tried, no point wasting anymore time. After a bit of arguing on who gets the "cute pink blanket", you end up falling asleep in a luxurious sleeping bag far beyond the pink blanket.

For once, you don't mind losing, after all its more comfortable now than before.

You sleep quite well throughout the night, this time around there was no stupid red players around to ruin your sleep. Your deep sleep goes uninterrupted even when a girl stands before you, even when she holds a blade at your throat...

Marinda glares at the sleeping form of the one who hurt her friends. Cold rage rushes though her body as she contemplates the act of murder. She had plenty of reason enough however Marinda was held back by one key fact. It was that she love him... okay just messing with you, she was held back by pragmatism. This man before her was an adventurer, whilst she loved her friends dearly, the fact that this man may be all that stands between herself and her father, between her dreams and her past keep her from stabbing down the blade. She sighs as she takes out her anger by repeatedly kicking the stone before her acting as if it was the man's head. After awhile, she goes back to her blankets to sleep

You awaken with a yawn as a new day begins, you feel well-rested after a long deep sleep of uninterrupted sleep. You glance to your side noting that the girl is still asleep. Guess you'll let her sleep a bit more as you eat. After eating, you note that the girl is still asleep so you spend some time making a mortar and pestle out of an empty bottle and a nearby stick creating an awes-

You decide that since she's in your party, you might as well learn to fight with her against enemies. You of course understand that with her current level and stats that she would be mostly leeching of you however if leveling and gaining exp a bit slower is the cost to get this girl to actually not glare at you all the time and to gain a potential meatshield... that's what you will do.

"Alright, you wanted to be an adventurer right? You ready for some monster hunting?" You ask with mock indifference as if you don't from the sparkles and glint in her eyes what she thinks about the topic.
"I-I might be interested, just a b-bit" she answers in an amazingly cute voice which is ruined by her scowl she quickly does afterwards.
"Alright but remember to follow my 'expertise' and that have to follow all my orders" you command as she simply nods.

Looks like you may have found out the way to control this bitc-angry female dog. With a sigh, you begin hunting the nearby wild dogs and wolves (damnit, does this game only have dogs and wolves or something? What happened to the whole massive mmo world?).

The results were well...

The first few fights can be summarized easily by one word... hard.

Whilst the dogs were less than 1/3 your level and wolves half your level, the fact that you constantly had to protect the noble girl (along with attempting to let her kill it so she gets exp) meant the fights would always be significantly longer than what would normally take. Throughout the fight her upturned eyes filled with glares slowly changed expression to what you can only presume is fear. Weird. Is the girl scared of fighting or something? Even when she want to be an adventurer?

By the end of the first day, your exp have risen only slightly whilst hers was near

After the fight, you discovered an amazing discovery that will shock MANKIND... turns out that even girls who never stopped glaring with hatred can not only light a fire and cook but also is willing to share it with you. (imagine "I-i'm not doing this f-for y-your sake or anything")
You're quite suprised by this however you were never one to argue. The taste of the wild dog and wolf meat whilst not being as good as it could be, was much more succulent and delicious than the plain and dry bread.
>You have gained some wolf meat which will rot soon if not smoked

Also, it seems that the fight whilst hard was quite helpful in helping the girl gain two levels (you expected more however it seems that NPCs level not just slower but SIGNIFICANTLY slower than player characters), at least her stats also increased a bit.
She has gained
+2 levels
+fear stat: currently -1 (you wonder why she had gotten this, surely she must've hunted with her friends before right?)
+Dependence: 1 (Seems even leeching exp gives you exp)
+Skills which you cannot view (she seems happy at her skills although she won't answer when you ask what got improved)

In items
+Wolf bits
+Cooked wolf meat as mentioned above
-4 bread
-2 water (you are out of water)

1/2

All according to keikaku.

>>34494557
The day ends with the two of you chatting about the formations that you two would use when fighting (which is basically you letting her attack whilst you act as a meatshield guard).

It seems that talking about adventuring has helped loosen her tongue... if only it could stop her from scowling at you... Although you do seem to notice that occasionally when you grow irritated at her that she stops scowling.

Either the girl learned some damn manners or maybe she's in love with you? Maybe its your *late* springtime of youth? With a sigh, you bid both your delusions and the actual person goodnight as you fall asleep.

Its a new day, once again you spend the day both travelling and fighting. This time around you manage to meet various deer (level 4) and even a bear (level 7). The fights were all pretty easy this time around as it seems your teamwork has improved

Please roll 1d100 for today's exp and shit please.

It seems that after the fight, you have finally gained another level and reached level 10. A system prompt pops up congratulating you as following

>Congratz~ on level 10, yay~, it is recommended you useless piece of shit that you get a profession soon if you havn't already unless you wish to die <3
>You cannot fall below level 10
>We hope that the extra 10 points from level 1-10 are enough that any of your fuckups will still allow you to choose the profession you want. From now on you will only receive 1 point per level, be careful~
...hate...rising...

It seemed that the girl's stats and level has also increased however before you can check there is something to deal with.

After the fight, you discovered there was now a slight issue, the system message shows that
>You have become dehydrated you are cur-
blah blah stat debuffs, sigh. The girl however seems fine as she had her own water bottle. Maybe you should ask her for some of her water to share? But than again, you may just owe her something again or it could cause all kinds of other problems. Looking around you at the corpses of the deer and bear, another thought comes to you. Maybe you can just quench your thirst on the blood of the deer and bear?

You decide that why bother going to the effort of ripping open the corpses to drink their blood when theres a cute girl who can provide it instead. After all it will be a "indirect kissu"... okay maybe that was slightly slightly weird.

With a smile you request the girl for some water as nicely as you can
"Ummm I'm out of water, can I have some of yours please?"

However you are immediately "shot down" by the girl as she refuses on the grounds that its "unsanitory"... damnit did she realise my "genius" plan?

With a sigh, you decide to quickly pack up the monster bits (whilst breaking about half your wolf fangs)
>+deer fur
>+Deer horns
>+deer bits
>+Bear fur
>+Bear Claw
>+Bear bits
as you begin searching for a nearby pond or something. However either luck or fate is against you as even through you search until it gets dark, no pond or other giver of the life-giving item known as water can be found.

Your movements start getting worse as you realise that you may be stuck with the dehydrated effect awhile. The girl looks to be about to offer you the water out of pity however you were never one for pity as you refuse her before she can even offer.

You go back to the corpses in the hope that some blood is still left however it seems that other animals have already scrounged around in it. With a sigh, you set up camp and fall asleep shortly afterwards whilst attempting to ignore the annoying system warning on your dehydration and your own thirst.

Note: You were too thirsty to even bother checking her stats/gear/etc

Day 4:
Its a new beautiful day, the sun is shining, the birds are singing and there's a crisp, yet gentle breeze causing the grass around you to sway... but all of that is ignored as only one thought is within your mind. You are fucking thirsty, fucking fucks.

You contemplate stealing the girls water however you quickly realise you're going to be stuck with her so better not risk it. Before anything else today, before training or anything like that, you will need to spend some time searching for a pond. Or maybe you should just accept the girl's pity? Or should you hunt and get some blood? In the horizon, you can see what appears to be a village. Maybe you can get there before your thirst damages you too far?

You decide against your better judgement to drink the orange bomb. You struggle with the fact that you will be wasting 3 bronze however your thirst outweighs your desire for money as with a gulp the whole bottle is DrUnKEn DOWn.

Alcohol dilutes the blood, making you colder faster and causing you to piss a lot which causes dehydration.

>Knock the idiot out and wait for him to have a hangup
While he is knocked out, have a moment of panicked dere and give him water. I mean he was trying to save you right? And he even lets you fight monsters like a real adventurer!

>>34496404
Did not know any of that besides it causing your blood to become more diluted. Anyhow, moot point since its fantasy alcohol and game mechanics.
Note that you are currently playing the grill whilst waiting for the PC to stop being drunk.

>>34496423

>>34496526
So knock the idiot out and than do jumping jacks whilst waiting for him to wake up and experience the hangover?
Writing.
Marinda has already tried to offer water but was refused

>>34496627
No, give him a little water at a time while he is asleep, while panicking that he might wake up.

>>34496610
He would if it wasn't the fact that he's currently chasing butterflies. Don't attempt to think of the his "drunk" state as normal as its fantasy land with game mechanics. Just enjoy the ride~

>>34496627
Marinda attempts to calm herself and her irritation when she notes the idiot is now attempting to chase butterflies. A few punches (and sore hands) later and the idiot is finally knocked out. Can't have the idiot getting himself hurt after all.

After a bit of rest Marinda realizes that effort is needed to succeed as an adventurer as she begins doing jumping jacks to train herself.

She constantly scowls towards the sky (possibly aiming it at the gods themselves) as she thinks on the level of both stupidity and fear she has to be stuck with because of the idiot.

A few hours of training (and a tired girl) later, the idiot finally reawakens with an exhausted face. Serves him right for drinking alcohol first thing in the morning. It is now late afternoon

-----------------------
You get up with a groan as you realise that the sun has nearly set. The orange glow bathes over you as you retch upon the ground... Okay, drinking alcohol was not a good idea. A bunch of system prompts show up however you wave them away as you're not in the mood to read anything.

After a bit of rest (and some harsh and irritated words, fuck that bitch, can't she see you're not in the mood), you and her begin once again treking towards the mountains. You avoid all combat and other activities as you are not in the mood. When the girl offers you her water this time around, you accept without a word
+4 units of water
After a bit of traveling, you set up camp as you begin to rest and get ready for a new day.

It is a new day and maybe this time around, everything will go ri-
You see what appears to be a player in the distance, he is carrying multiple bags and packs... he's also running for his life from a red bear.
A quick glance shows yo
>The player has 20/250 health left
>The red bear has 500/500 health left and its name is "*Blood-Red Bear, Lord of the Plains*, level 15"

You are still a distance away from the merchant, you could probably just leave him be and everything will be fine. No need to risk yourself.
Or you can try and save him in the hopes for a reward or the loot from killing the bear, it looks rare after all.
Looking to your side, you expect the noble girl to scream at you to go save him however she simply looks bored.

Do you (choose 1 as all takes precious time)

We've learned that NPCs permadie, right? We're not that morally bankrupt, are we?

>>34497090
Can't believe that we've had no random events except the first red players and now this one.
I'd thought we'd get more random events however rolls said otherwise.

>>34497090
>Save the man (will give choices for plan if players can't make up their own)

>>34497153
he's a player which means he won't permadie, although if hes above level 10 than that means he will be losing items.

>>34497172
>>34497153
>>34497127
Slant seems to be to save the man, you are currently about 500 metres away. The area is plains meaning grass everywhere with a few rocks here and there.
Do you guys want options or to make your own plan?

>>34497090
>>34497229
Wrap rocks with rotten stuff. Tell girl to climb tree.
Shoot the legs. Or try to. Hopefully the homing allows for called shots or something.

After we run out of arrows, get ready to trip him with the whip. Throw rotten stuff.

After that...?

Why the fuck are we fighting?

>>34497229
Equip and Use Yew Bow to draw aggro since It has a homing feature we shouldn't miss. After it
Starts going for us equip the Iron Claymore to knock its agility down with the DoS sheathed in case we need it.

This should be good our level is only and a boss 5 levels above us should give good xp and loot.

>>34497309
I hate to ask this but I'll ask it anyways, are you sure you wish to equip the yew bow? hint hint

>>34497331
also we do have skills it's knowns as foolish courage which increases out stats by 50 when doing something like this.

>>34497369
Why not its the least likely of the weapons to break anyway.

>>34497397
foolish courage only increases stats by a PERCENTAGE. We HAVENT USED OUR STAT POINTS YET.

>>34497359
It took 10-12 hours. And we one-shotted it with the environment. We can't do that now, without a cliff or something.

>>34497369
Okay fuck it, I'll give options.

You see the bear in the distance as you tell the girl by your side your decision.
"We're going to save that adventurer and kill that red bear" you say in your best courageous voice as she simply stares at you with what appears to be suprise.
"Didn't think you were that kind of person..." she whispers under her breath loud enough that you could hear. You swear she did that on purpose
You see some options before you

>>34497517
>Rush it (foolish courage will activate)
>Fight from distance with bow
inb4 we get peppered with arrows.

>>34497517
Let the noble use the bow and draw the bear towards us. Since it's aggroed to her, it will barely notice when we pull out the claymore and shove it through it's fookin' heart.

>>34497563
Is this fine with everyone?

Can I write or any issues?

>>34497711

Why the hell are we putting points there? What about STR, so we can use the claymore without being mauled by the bear?

It seemed that whilst you were doing so, the bear got even closer to the player who's username you can now read is
"SaleBot202"

With a few more clicks, you have withdrawn the yew bow and the 6 arrows from your inventory as well as the claymore. You would normally equip even more however you have no time to do much more as the bear is almost upon the player.
When the girl sees the items, she looks at first suprised before being angered however you have no time for her foolishness as you throw the bow and arrow at her and tell her to fire right now as you begin rushing the red bear.

the system happily informs you of the stupidity of what you are attempting

You see the girl attempt to shoot an arrow however it seemed that she clearly had no talent... after all she was holding it completely wrong. You're pretty sure that arrows are not meant to fly backwards however you ignore her as you begin focusing on the red bear in front of you.

Dragging the claymore along is somewhat heavy however you think you can probably manage it. Maybe you should've equipped it later you think for a second before once again focusing on the red bear.

The red bear has now caught up to "SaleBot202" and he's within arm's reach of gourging out the player however luckily, whether by miracle or fate, it seems that the NPC girl has figured out how to properly fire as an arrow lazily punts against the fur of the red bear. Looks like that homing payed off you think as it clearly would've missed if there was no homing due to the girl's lack of skill.

However there is a slight issue, whilst the arrow may have drawn the red bear's attention (i.e. aggro), it seemed to have done literally zero damage against the red bear. You're within 50 metres now from the bear and 3 arrows have so far flown against it, of which all 3 has done no more than irritate it and cause it to start charging towards the girl.
With a sigh, you

It charges at you with a roar and... a leap that takes over 20 metres towards you. However for all its speed and strength, you are currently boosted heavily by Foolish Courage as you counter charge it. With a thrust...

The two of you collide with iron against red fur however the one that wins that encounter is the claymore as it jams with a squish into the shoulder blade of the red bear, its power significantly improved by the speed both you and the bear was running.
A quick glance towards the bear's red health bar shows you that you have dealt
>203 damage with its remaining health being 297
However you did not get off scot-free as the charge and counter charge was of such strength that both your arms that had thrust the claymore are completely broken.
>Broken left arm
>Broken right arm
>You have lost 101 health, 224 health left
Your health is still decent however you quickly realise that you are at a major disadvantage, with both arms broken and the creature before you still alive...

The bear howls in pain as it once again starts rushing towards you however it seems that the player you were rescuing is not completely useless as he comes running holding a scroll. You also notice that in the distance Marinda was racing towards you... to think shes actually coming to help you... damn girl.

However it seems that both of them are too late as the bear stands on its hind legs in front of you as its right claw rushes towards your neck...
Roll 3d100+10 (hint: First one is most important, note: Bonus only applies to the first of the 3d100, just thought rolling 3d100 would be faster than rolling 1d100 individually 9times)

forgot to mention: +1 strength, +1 endurance.

>>34499358
Is it better to roll 3d100 or 1d100 on 3 separate occasions?

Rolled 38, 96, 46 = 180 (3d100)

Have 3 posts of 3d100, apply the modifier yourself.

Rolled 12, 64, 62 + 10 = 148 (3d100 + 10)

Thanks for the hints, I kept modifier because I wanted people to know about it since its a visible bit but I'll just ask for 3d100 in future.

Rolled 75, 2, 14 = 91 (3d100)

If you aren't going to say where the modifier comes from (ie. +7 strength+50%), don't bother saying it at all.

>>34499517
...and the right claw misses your neck by a hair's breadth as you manage to duck its blow. The red bear growls before its other paw rushes towards you too however whether by luck or something else, you manage to escape its blow as you kick off the bear's belly skidding backwards a metres and just barely dodging the other paw.

As you lie upon the ground awaiting your fate, it seems that the bear was about to kill you however, SaleBot202 now renamed Bot for short (until you can figure out the guy's real name at least) holds a scroll towards you as he calls out
"Scroll of Master-rank healing"
as suddenly you feel not only all your wounds disappearing but you feel stronger than you were before.
>You are fully healed
>You temporarily have +20% additional health which will last 5minutes
>Current health: 390/390

Wow, that scroll... must be expensive... gods you wish it wasn't wasted like this you think in the back of your mind as your fingers dance on the system prompt's to equip yourself with

Actually, that one was agility.
The charge was strength

Like a dance, your fingers dash across the system prompts and quickly equip the "Dagger of shadows" (read: Chuuni dagger) and the badly made whip composed of wolf materials. It took less than 30 seconds however it had given enough time for the bear to rush near you as with a howl, its bladed claw rushes towards your head. You easily dodge the blow as you send out your whip to squeeze the life out of the bear's neck however the whip breaks suddenly as it tightens against the bear's neck... damnit, you shout as the bear shakes off your mild annoyance as its other clawed hand whistles through the air. You decide to

Fuck this shit, you dodge with everything you have as you leap backwards barely dodging the blow. Somewhere in the back of your mind where adrenaline was not being pumped, it was cursing your party member for not being nearby or useful, another part of your mind was thankful that she was safe. These two parts were happily arguing as the rest of your mind focused on a much more important aspect... staying alive.

Your leap back managed to gain balance whether by luck or due to your decent amount of agility you will never know as the bear once again rushes you... however this time you are ready for it as you

Dodge to the side, stab the bear, and try to grab our claymore.

Yeah, I hope it was us attempting to pull the claymore out, not her.

>>34500488
You decide that you're not stupid enough to fall for the same trick this many times as you immediately dodge to the side however it seems the bear had predicted this move as it suddenly side jumps a tackle to you... what the fuck since when can bears do this you think before you're engulfed by fur and
*SLAM* you collapse onto the ground in a heap with the bear.
>-92 health 298 health left
You vomit blood and gastric juices as you quickly struggle upright and begin stabbing the bear with your dagger. The bear howls when the dagger touches it as if the dagger was the vilest poison as it jumps up and swipes towards you...
>You have lost your right arm, it is suggested you either die or go to a healer~
comes the annoyingly obvious message as your right arm below the shoulder is easily torn clean off by the claws.
>-192 health 106 health left
A quick glance shows you the bear is currently at 185 health however you barely have time to register it as the bear starts crawling upwards.
You use this chance whilst you can to wrench the claymore out of the bear with a squish. The bear is wobbling as it gets up, a spread of blackness coloring its red fur. You understand this is your chance to finish this

If there's something I learned in OWQ is that you need to spin your heavy weapon to win the fight.
So spin to win, gain speed and power to do more damange.

>You have leveled up (level 11 50% exp)
>You have killed a boss character for the first time, +1 all stats
>Foolish courage is no longer active
You collapse onto the ground as you attempt to stop your body's gastric juices from flowing out. Its at times like these that you are thankful its nothing more than a game and the fact that all pain is numbed.
After a moments peace, the useless girl finally seems to manage to reach you as she huffs and puffs. At least she gets a gold star for effort you think before
"Do you know how much effort I had to pu-" Your mind drowns out the rest of her annoying words as you take back any good comments you may have said about her.

After a moment or two, the player Bot comes to your side as he states with an embarrassed smile
"Name's Oliver, Thanks for the save mate" he says as expected... ohohohohoh, you smile as you think, let's see what I can get outta this basta-
"Guess all's fair and even now that I saved your life too?" he finishes as your smile quickly vanishes.

1/2

>>34500998
What the fuck is he saying, even? even? You had just risked your fucking life and money for his and he's saying you're even? Wait, why were you even anyways

"Wait a minute, even? Why the hell are we even? I saved your life from getting mauled by the fucking red bear there" you answer with a snarl as you attempt to keep calm... and fail. The girl gives you a look when you answer however you ignore her as you continue.

"What the fuck do I owe you 'mate'?" you growl as the man looks frightened for a moment before replying

"You saved my life from the red bear, I saved your life from the red bear. Fairs fair" you calm down somewhat as you realise that he did indeed save your life... however your life was only at risk because of him...

You reply that

Let's just look at this like two logical, reasonable for a second. You see, I was in no danger, and could have avoided a fight with that bear quite easily. When I stepped in to protect you, quite the altruistic action if I do say so myself, and was injured, you healed me out of concern for yourself, not for my well-being. My continued health meant a dead bear. Therefor your actions were only in service of yourself, please do not insult me by claiming otherwise.

You breathe in and out slowly as you calm yourself. No need to let anger take over, had that happen with the relatives and you saw how that turned out. Must stay calm about all of this.
Gulping in a deep breath of air, you state calmly and concisely
"Let's just look at this like two logical, reasonable for a second. You see, I was in no danger, and could have avoided a fight with that bear quite easily.

Both the player Oliver and the girl stare at you... was it really that unexpected for you to say something like that?
"uhh well I... Uhhhh.... damn. You're smarter than you look" Oliver babbles meanwhile.
"I will admit I'm surprised, always thought you were an idiot and all..." says the girl as if she's in shock.

Fuck these guys, is it that out of character for you to say something like this?
Anyhow, you decide that whilst you have the momentum, it's best to drive the point forward.
"And as a result Oliver was it? You owe me a reward" You say with a smirk.

Oliver looks as if he's going to argue for a second before he sighs and replies that although this isn't his main, he should be able to give a good enough reward. He asks what you want.

I require a quarterstaff. Also, any sort of scroll that could return my arm to working order would be nice.

I thought about it, and if we plan to transition into a magic user, quarterstaff would be the best melee weapon to become proficient with. Also used well it counters everything.

>>34501461
I feel like the mystery box is the worst option but it seems so much fun on the other hand.... (well we dont have another hand that is the problem) we are missing an arm.......

You decide to choose the mystery box, you always couldn't resist a game of chance.
