Mining For Ore ,Copper, and Trystel Crickets

Being within the safe lands of tilandre, the young teen age'd one held with him a map, it seemed as if he had been planning an expedition for some time now but those he needed were all either away or aiding  with some kind of war ,that or family issues that some parents needed to hunt down their children who wwere runaways and bring them back home.

Jinsei held with him a list as he spoke out the materials he needed to obtain , having some Saffron Avis before himself, they were all listening to the young Hawks orders .

"Trystel Crickets..Iron Ore, High Carbon steel or perhaps spring steel is best, need it to be both strong, light and flexible so that I can make this blade potent with magic once I find a blacksmith, though there are probably little to no blacksmiths in Valmasia, but this is the risk we will take, the Trystel cave is possibly infested with yokai, so as the Hawk of the Saffron Avis ,I will be leading this expedition ."

The young teen spoke aloud, now waiting for any other additional members to come and join in, it was going to be quite the trip in search for these minerals, . Dice rolls will determine both the risk of that they'll take and the actual things they might manage to find.

Ruloth has decided to go visit Jinsei after quite a bit of just wandering around. Today he relaxed a bit and took a day off of his training. It was something he definatly needed.

As he went to go talk to Jinsei, he noticed the list in his hands. He went behind him on the bench he was sitting on to get a better look at it.

"What's this you got in your hand Jinsei?" It looked like a list full of different kinds of metals. He had no idea why Jinsei had this.

Ruloth then heard Jinsei talking to himself about gathering materials and going into Trystle. It sounded like a pretty riskey trip by the way he was talking about it.  It was appearently filled with yokai and Ruloth heard that they are vvery scary.

"So you are going on an adventure to find materials? Can I come.? I prefer we take a way with no Yokai though. I hear those thing are pretty terrifying."
(Ruloth)
Nodding his head to Ruloth he began to explain to him the purpose of this trip, perhaps he could be able to bring back minerals so that Aalaerth could be impressed by the risk he took to get her what she needed to enhance her families sword.

"Well yes, I am going to find the minerals needed to enhance my sword, if you come along you can get the minerals Aalaerth needs for her family sword, I'm sure she'd greatly appreciate it." he said to Ruloth then going on about the ways they can get the minerals .

"We might run into some yokai, it's never a gurenteed route..But if we do, I am sure we can take them on and do so with honor and strength.. We'll be gathering 30 of each mineral, the Trystel Crickets, and Iron Ore along with Spiritual Ore so that we can make them enhanced by magic as well..This wont be an easy journey but I can say that it will be worth your while.." he explained to Ruloth.

"Also, you should join the Avis, both you and Aalaearth, we could use some folk like you and keep the training on a regular to keep your fighting abilities as sharp as ever, hehe.." he claims while the Avis before him chucled in a manly manner.

Jinsei K. Silverwing: Including Tamahagane and Copper.
Ruloth was a little scared to go on this journey.  He was a bit scared of the yokai tht roam around in there but he decided he would go anyways.

"I will coem with you. Don't expect me to be able to take on too many yokai. I'm still not nearly as strong as you and Aalaerth." Even though he was able to use his half shift now, he was nothing compared to them. Aalaerth was able to defeat Ruloth without even using a weapon. He had a lot of catching up to do.

"I'm not sure I want to join the Avis. Even if I did I'm not old enough. I am only ten still." Ruloth saud when he suggested Ruloth and Aalaerth join Saffron Avis. "Maybe is Aalaerth did, but I don't want to do everything they say for two whole years. That's a long time. Those kind of jobs or more for the adults."

Ruloth didn't want to give up all of his time at such a young age. He liked to spend his day having fun along with training. Joining Saffron would just eliminate the fun for him. He would always have to fight for what they wanted him to and Ruloth didn't like that idea.

"Maybe I'll reconsider it when I am a bit older. I wouldn't be able to have as much fun in I spent all my time doing missions for Saffron Avis. Aalaerth and I probab;y wouldn't be able to hang out as much. Even you are often busy with important war things all the time while Aalaerth and I go have fun."

Jinsei K. Silverwing: Mhm...But for now, let the expedition begin!
Jinsei K. Silverwing: <*ventured to the cave mountain known as Trystel*>
Leading the journey of the minerals to obtain, heading into the trystel cave along with the younger boy Ruloth and several other Avis that came along with them to the trip, he brought along not only his blade but his travel bag as well, something needed to store the minerals in.

"Mine the cave with precision, don't go too far without having a buddy or so with you, there are only two magi on this trip and one of them being a drakanite, we can only handle so much so don't get wreckless."
 he said now grabbing his mining tools.

Walking in deeper, their dice roll will determine the very safety of the cave to see if they should run into trouble or run into a copper mine, something he could get both copper and some trystel crickets from.. Shall Jinsei obtain some crickets it'd be a good 3 out of 30 needed for him to gather all together, perhaps even more if he was lucky.

Jinsei K. Silverwing rolled a dice and it landed on: 6 (yokai and discovery roll)
Jinsei K. Silverwing generated a random number between 1 and 30, it came up as: 5 (Mineral roll)

Due to the lack of mining tools Ruloth brought with him, he decided to use his scythe like a pickaxe. He repitedly hits the trystle crickes with his scythe until it eventually falls out of the strone.

"I think I found some. Tell me if this is thr right thing." Ruloth holds a very small amount of minerals in his hand, showing it to Jinsei to see if he can identify it. a"It is not very much but it is all I can find. How many more before we can make Aalaerth's sword?"

Ruloth cared more about the sword for Aalaerth rather than Jinsei's sword upgrades. He wanted to get Aalaerth a nice little surprise. Maybe she would like him more afterwards, even if Jinsei did most the work.

"I don't know how close I am to enough, but I am assuming I need to dig a bit more.

Jinsei K. Silverwing: (ok)
Jinsei K. Silverwing: (rolling again for chance of yokai strike)
OOC - JoseJoseRSD: can I get delay fixed?
Ruloth: (I almost fell asleep during the last one.)
Jinsei K. Silverwing: (or more minerals found)
Jinsei K. Silverwing rolled a dice and it landed on: 1
The boy managing to dig in to the walls of the cave ,finding more than five Trystel crickets, this made the boy smile as though he were the most successful mining man, then there was Ruloth who seemed to have found up to 15 minerals, these being s rough estinate of 5 Tamahagane , 5 Iron Ores and 5 Copper bits that could be used later on for Jinsei's enhacements of the blade.

He looked at Ruloth and said to him "Let's continue on and go further up ahead!" he declares, but due to his luck of the dice landing on a 1..He found himself in a small ambush of yokai, about three or four, not this was five yokai that came after them, the kid would have to fight them off along side Ruloth, now how many would he have taken out? That is a rough estimate on his abilities and his speed.

Perhaps the yokai had some ore in their bellies, who can say for sure, but one thing was clear, it was that Jinsei and Ruloth would have to fight for their lives to get out of this one, who knows what power these yokai could have, there was a few terra and three mega yokai. Luckily the cave was not so infested due to the wars going on.

Jinsei K. Silverwing rolled a dice and it landed on: 5
Jinsei K. Silverwing generated a random number between 1 and 30, it came up as: 25
(25 Minerals found, no yokai)

Having to face off up against a few yokai, the young lad and his team of Saffron Avis and Ruloth continued on to push forward, he noticed that Ruloth had fallen asleep, so he'd call for someone to take the boy home, now on this jounry as the only magi in the group , he had to be even more careful with how things were to be done, if he had to bring himself to go even further into the cave to find what he needed, coming across a few Giga of where the Elder dragon was located.

He spotted one area , it seemed like it was full of some form of minerals, going over to mine it with the group of men he had with him currently, the group would have found a full set of 25 total minerals, but Jinsei thinking this would have been enough or not, he continued to find even more, he was not going to end their journey so early, so he was going to take an even higher risk at finding what he needs.

It was the luck of the dice and his spirit that he didn't run into any yokai in this round of the trip, but rather a major benefit that he was able to have found so many of them. Iron Ore's, Spiritual Ores, Trystel Crickets, all of which he needed, so he stored them all into his travel bag, he and his Avis along with him.

Moving on though, their attempts to find  even more ore continued on, not like this journey was going to be stopped because they found a great quantity of the minerals needed, Jinsei wished to test his luc at finding more. Holding up a torch and his pick axe to mine whenever he may have came across soemthing interesting, like a sparkling light.

Seems as though luck were on his side today, going deeper into the cave of trystel only to discover more mines to be tended tp, sending forth the men and women mining team of the mighty Saffron Avis to go forth and dig up the suspected area, Jinsei of course going to go and help them out as well, when doing so, he decided with the team that they should all continue to dig deeper with this same mine.

Hoping for his luck to prove much more helpful than he thought, the team soon began the mining, only to come up to more than 25 minerals from the first time of digging, then the second, camoning across 28 minerals more, and then finally the third which was believed to have been pushing their luck a bit too much with the risk of yokai to follow them and try to chase them down.. He was lucky to have found and rolled the dice for a 30 of total additional minerals to be added to their collection!

This was all the minerals that Jinsei needed, he saw no other reason to continue searching for more, but rather search for a way back home that will be both quick and easy, knowing that the Tilandre outpost was enar by, he needed to get there first and then make his way home to the main land.. Today was one hell of a lucky and unlucky day for Jinsei, he needed this, he neede the thrill and risk of adventure.. It was a good thing he took the shot of rolling for extra mineals, HAD he not rolled a 4 or 6 on the normal rolling luck rate, he'd had been attacked by yokai, him and his group.

"Alright fellas, it's time we head on home! So let's go everyone!" he declares, taking on their leave back home. Going home with the total of 128 minerals collected! Leaving them with 64 Trystel Crickets, 32 Copper, and 32 Iron Ore, to make this blade both powerful, light in weight and magically potent.
