◣ Quest NPC Contact ◢

Below is a place to thread out quick little conversations with the NPCs that aren't worth an entire log. Vatheon's staple NPCs will have postings here, and all the other new quest NPCs will simply be listed under the "Quest NPCs" comment header. Please put in the subject line which quest you're talking with an NPC about!

Hmm. It's okay, but I don't know if you'll be able to really understand this skill if you've had it easy. You really have to be pushed to your limit to get it...

[But okay! If that's never happened to Rin, she'll just show him! The warrior woman advances on him, blunt training hammer in hand, and she swings it at him VERY hard.

Sure sucks to be Rin, warriors don't have as much agility as he's used to!]

[keepsthefire]

[He is used to being pushed to his limit, though, heightened demonic stamina or not.

And even if he wasn't expecting to get attacked, he's still more ready for it than he probably looked like he was going to be. His sword is out in a second, the blade getting swung up to catch the handle of the hammer.

Quick as he was though, he still winds up wincing, finding his arms shaking after just a second of resisting. He really is weakened, compared to his normal state, and he's really not sure he likes it at all.]

Sh... shit you're strong... !

[Thank you, Captain Obvious.]

[thalassino]

That's right! Now feast your eyes on the secret generations of warriors have unlocked! ADRENALINE!

[It seems like she doesn't feel any pain at all anymore judging from the way she's rattling off all those attacks that should be damaging her. If Rin doesn't have a revelation and figure out this skill fast, he'll have to be carried off by the nurses! That's even worse than dying!

Thankfully, this is the land of rpgs, and skills are unlocked as they are needed.]

[keepsthefire]

[Rin certainly had a "shit shit shit" moment at that, but he was tactful enough to keep it in his head, though his eyes went absolutely huge as he tried to dodge and keep from getting struck. This was his first quest, he didn't want to go down so fast!

But skills being unlocked as needed was a thing, and if there was one good thing about having to adapt to being a demon, was that adapting at all was a skill Rin already had.

It was like a bell going off in his head, and as an attack narrowly missed his nose he jumped back-]

I got it! Now it's my turn! ADRENALINE!

[and charged forward, swiping his sword from the left as hard as he could.]

[thalassino]

[The woman switches and slams him from the other direction, but she takes the hit from him as well. She's... definitely bleeding, but it seems like she doesn't feel it. He shouldn't feel the hit from her much, either.

For now.]

Heh. Good job.

[She's getting blood on the floor.]

[keepsthefire]

[Nope. He doesn't feel it. He will later, probably. But for now he's going to bask in the excitement of his little victory and actually jump and yelp happily.]

YES! I so got it! Awesome!

[Achievement Unlocked?

Okay now he notices the blood.]

... Uh. You gonna be okay?

[thalassino]

This? It's just a flesh wound. It'll close up on its own. Don't worry about something this small.

[She still has way too much of her HP to die! She'll be more concerned if her HP drops below 50%, okay?]

[keepsthefire]

Uh. Right. Okay...

[He's not used to other people being able to do that, NPC or not. But if she's sure...]

Well thanks.

[thalassino]

[She just lifts her chin at him by way of a goodbye. Good luck, Rin. Don't die. Keep an eye on your hp.

Or just have a cleric nearby and behave as you normally do.]
