Jun 25 17:19:05 <Vern|GM>	The parts of the angel were all useful, partially because there was barely any use for the rancid meat those 'holy' beings had, and you ended up through the gates, getting paid the promised 600. The actual pay was actually higher, but the guild took a 40% cut from it, it was still well done for this job, and earned you points towards a possible promotion. ||

Jun 25 17:22:17 <Vern|GM>	The smith was sitting on his anvil, juggling with five warhammers of different sizes. "Welcome back, kid." ||
Jun 25 17:23:20 <Panda|Elias>	"Hey there!" I sling the corpse of the angel around. "So I just had a sing-off with this thing. I won, which was amusing. I think it got angry because it started attacking. Huh, go figure.||

Jun 25 17:27:46 <Vern|GM>	The smith stopped juggling, letting all the hammers smashing into the ground next to him, just barely missing his feet. "Good job, I heard already. What are you going to do now?" ||
Jun 25 17:30:07 <Panda|Elias>	"See if my favorite smith can whip me up something out of these parts and then go get my duel on with that little shit Aaron, probably. What do you even do all day? Juggle hammers?"||
Jun 25 17:31:13 <Vern|GM>	"I can upgrade the armor or make a gun," he muttered, shrugging. "And I'd recommend to avoid him for now, people are always a bit... strange after fighting those things."
Jun 25 17:32:21 <Vern|GM>	He took the parts and laid them next to the anvil, starting to put the hammers away. "I don't have a lot of work to do, most of the time. Most hunters don't bother making new stuff, they keep upgrading until it doesn't work anymore." ||
Jun 25 17:33:18 <Panda|Elias>	"Eh, I like to have options." I grin. "Gun would be a nice alternative to my bow, which has been useless up until now. Maybe I'll go pick up another mission while I"m waiting."||
Jun 25 17:34:36 <Vern|GM>	"Sure thing," he grinned. "Though this time I will have to charge you. Considering these parts, I'd say 1200 should be enough." ||
Jun 25 17:36:15 <Panda|Elias>	I gasp in faux shock. "Yeah sure, I might have to hold off until I get more coin though. None of the extra parts worth anything?"||
Jun 25 17:37:54 <Vern|GM>	"I will have to use everything," he said, lifting up the strange glowing halo out of the box. "This one, if you sold it, is probably worth a thousand, maybe two at the right seller, but without it, the guns won't be able to fire at all." ||
Jun 25 17:38:46 <Panda|Elias>	"Hmmm, fair enough. Should I keep the parts until I have the coin or will you hold on to it?"||
Jun 25 17:39:59 <Vern|GM>	"I can keep them here," he said. "Take another mission. If you want some quick coin, take an unsponsored one from the gate, but that will hold you off from promotion." ||
Jun 25 17:41:37 <Panda|Elias>	"Possibly. Thanks for the tip, I'll be back soon." I leave the box and wave before I head to the rank 2 mission board in the hunter's guild, for the most expensive ones I can attempt.||
Jun 25 17:44:27 <Vern|GM>	2000. A big amount of money. But the target was an unholy creature, definitively one of the worst, a Vampire Lord. 1800, a Golem, hard to kill and parts that are as useful as mud. 1600 a Great Wolf. ||
Jun 25 17:45:44 <Panda|Elias>	Wolfpelt. I'm going to work my way up this list. I grab the Great Wolf paper and head for the location eagerly.||
Jun 25 17:48:01 <Vern|GM>	The gates opened and you went on your way, the dagger at your hip making soft sounds as your steps carried you towards the forests. You arrived at the camp as the sun went down. ||
Jun 25 17:49:20 <Panda|Elias>	Hmm. How will I lure this beast out. I shrug and practice my singing again, this time loudly and off key so I could attempt to piss the thing off. Also because I amused myself.||
Jun 25 17:52:01 <Vern|GM>	The forest screeches back at the sounds coming out of your mouth, and it sounds like more than just the wolf heard you. Worse, yet, if you had actually looked, you would have seen the flashes of yellow lightning in the distance, not too far away. ||
Jun 25 17:53:09 <Panda|Elias>	Sweet. And now, we wait. I climb into a tree after thoroughly perforating it with arrows to make sure it was uninhabited, and begin my watch.||
Jun 25 17:54:49 <Vern|GM>	The howl of a wolf was heard from the distance.
Jun 25 17:56:03 <Vern|GM>	And like the rumbling stomach of a hungry god, the skies suddenly darkened more as the moon was hidden by clouds, and the cackling of lightning was just audible for less than a second before the first bolt struck, hitting the tree you were in and sending you flying to the floor, your body still vibrating in aftershocks of the lightning that all but struck you, the armor sending most of it towards the non-lethal option of being hit.
Jun 25 17:56:36 <Vern|GM>	You glance up, seeing the lightning hit more trees, and within a minute the entire forest was painted in an orange and red light, the flashes of lightning gone and fire starting to burn the wood around you.
Jun 25 17:56:57 <Vern|GM>	The wolf approached quickly, and you could hear its steps, but the trees were barred from you now. The guild wouldn't be happy about another destroyed camp. ||
Jun 25 17:59:18 <Panda|Elias>	Well fuck. I painstakingly rise, stretching and rolling my shoulders to shake the pain off before I move so that there's fire in front of me, but not behind me, while I track the sounds of the wolf.||
Jun 25 18:00:51 <Vern|GM>	The wolf appeared suddenly, like a bright flash in your eyes, looking around. More steps approached the camp, but the wolf seemed the most dangerous thing, as it was towering above you, even while standing normally. ||
Jun 25 18:01:29 *	Wyrm|Spectator is now known as Wyrm|Chores
Jun 25 18:03:04 <Panda|Elias>	I crouch, to center myself, and watch it from the peripheral of my sight to diminish the chances of me being blinded.||
Jun 25 18:05:52 <Vern|GM>	The wolf makes a noise, sniffing slightly, and looking back from where it came. Something was approaching. ||
Jun 25 18:06:20 <Panda|Elias>	I take the opportunity to lunge forward, stabbing my dagger towards its neck.||
Jun 25 18:10:26 <Vern|GM>	The dagger connects, the beast's cries loud as the blade cuts into the fur, ripping a large chunk of flesh apart and leaving a spray of blood to leave its body. You were able to jump off before the beast howled, making lighting explode off its frame, and whatever was approaching became quicker and more frantic, now that it could smell blood. ||
Jun 25 18:11:15 <Panda|Elias>	I slide over to the side, hiding near the wolf's dying frame with a tree blocking me, waiting with my dagger poised for the approaching creature.||
Jun 25 18:16:42 <Vern|GM>	The wolf managed to jump back despite its injuries. A large frame ended up smashing where it was, coming like a flash out of the sky. It looked skeletal in a way that a model looked actually good in the dresses she wore, and glared up at the wolf from empty eye-sockets, its arms and legs basically just chains and blades. It was dangerous. And you could feel it in the air! ||
Jun 25 18:19:12 <Panda|Elias>	I wait patiently, until the creature has turned its back turned to me.||
Jun 25 18:19:42 *	panth has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
Jun 25 18:22:32 <Vern|GM>	The mannequin moved towards the wolf, making the yellow giant step backwards, towards the flaming trees. It took deliberate and slow steps, as if it would fall apart at a mistake. ||
Jun 25 18:23:05 <Panda|Elias>	I flash forward, slicing at the creature's legs.||
Jun 25 18:27:51 <Vern|GM>	The beast immediately turns its head 180°, its eyes meeting yours before you could even comprehend what had happened, and its frame spinning around, the chain moving at you and slashing at your armor, making a visible scratch and stopping you in your tracks.
Jun 25 18:28:23 <Vern|GM>	The wolf immediately jumped at it, as it seemed distracted, but was soon grabbed by the other arm, piercing its wound you inflicted on it and dragging it around, throwing it towards you. ||
Jun 25 18:28:58 <Panda|Elias>	I roll underneath the flying wolf before lunging upwards at the creature, aiming to cut a limb whenever it swung it at me.||
Jun 25 18:32:06 <Vern|GM>	The creature's limbs don't break, the dagger mostly inneffective. It looked more like a thing that needed more blunt force, rather than cutting, and it screeched loudly at your face, getting agiated. ||
Jun 25 18:32:44 <Panda|Elias>	I put my dagger up before punching the thing in the face repeatedly.||
Jun 25 18:33:35 <Vern|GM>	The beast's face doesn't move at all, and it takes a bite into your armor, not piercing through it, but latching on. ||
Jun 25 18:34:20 <Panda|Elias>	Fuck, this isn't working. "The hell are you?!" I take its forelimbs and attempt to tie them in a knot. At least then I could stop it from attacking.||
Jun 25 18:35:14 <Vern|GM>	The chains suddenly move into its body, and like a lever used to apply more force, the teeth tightened on your armor, making a screeching noise. ||
Jun 25 18:36:01 <Panda|Elias>	"Fuck this." I pick the creature up wholesale and charge into the nearest patch of flames before shoving it down into it, trying to get it to unlatch its teeth.||
Jun 25 18:37:36 <Vern|GM>	The beast lets go, not bothered by the flames. Instead, the chains move out again and grab one of the burning trees, cutting through it with the blades in a matter of seconds and then bringing it down on you, embers and ashes raining together with the wood. ||
Jun 25 18:38:34 <Panda|Elias>	I collapse before rising again and kicking the creature away from me. I turn around and run for the body of the Great Wolf.||
Jun 25 18:39:40 <Vern|GM>	The beast doesn't follow, the flames it brought down on you blocking its path, and you reach the wolf just in time before the chains made a sound behind you. It was about to jump. ||
Jun 25 18:40:47 <Panda|Elias>	I pick up the wolf with both hands and swing it around as the creature's apex brings it nearby, aiming to fling it away.||
Jun 25 18:43:00 <Vern|GM>	The wolf was still making sounds as you swung it, the giantic frame way too big to be used by normal humans, but everyone seemed to be more monster than anything else. The mannequin comes down and cuts through the body, bisecting it and landing directly in front of you, on its 'knees'. ||
Jun 25 18:44:53 <Panda|Elias>	I kick it off balance, pick up the other half of the wolf, and run anywherebuthere!||
Jun 25 18:48:02 <Vern|GM>	You escape. Barely. The beast's chains are behind you the whole time, but something kept slowing it down, the flames behind you blocking the way halfway towards Dundroma, and the blood and guts that the beast had sprawled all over behind you as you kept dragging it through the dirt. The gates looked very inviting. ||
Jun 25 18:48:36 <Panda|Elias>	I continue on, pushing myself as quickly as I can.||
Jun 25 18:51:35 <Vern|GM>	You got the reward, you got out relatively uninjured, and you got the parts of a great wolf that died in two hits. That's something. ||
Jun 25 18:54:36 <Panda|Elias>	Wolf parts safely in a container, I turn to speak to the Guild Master and ask him what the fuck was that creature.||
Jun 25 18:55:53 <Vern|GM>	The guild was moving quicker than usual, and the man shrugged, grinning at you. "Unknown creature, might be an experiment gone wrong, I'm not sure. I will add 400 to your reward, don't tell anyone, this is a guild secret until I get an urgent quest up to kill this thing." ||
Jun 25 18:57:25 <Panda|Elias>	"Fair enough. Let them know that it might be unable to move through fire, its highly agile, cutting weapons does nothing to it, and it was able to cut through a Great Wolf in a single swing. It might require a dedicated team. But I'll keep it quiet," I nod, nerves still rattled.||
Jun 25 18:58:16 <Vern|GM>	The additional 400 brought your funds up to 2600. More than enough to pay the smith, and who knows what you can do with the wolf's parts. Well, the parts that were still inside. ||
Jun 25 18:59:49 <Panda|Elias>	I take the container with the wolf's parts to the smith and set them down, letting my exhaustion show. "Great Wolf. Something to do with lightning. What do you think you could do? Oh, also," I hand over 1200 coins for the Angel. "The gun would be a nice addition if you have the time, please."||
Jun 25 19:02:40 <Vern|GM>	1400 remaining. The smith looked at the parts, whistling low. "Nice job, didn't think that dagger would be this effective, these cuts are cleaner than any carving knive the gate-merchants use. I could probably upgrade your armor with it, no idea what to do with the gun until it's done." || [Stygian Armor - Upgrade: Lightning Great Wolf - Adds +2 defense to lightning monsters.]
Jun 25 19:04:28 <Panda|Elias>	"What can I say, I get my weaponry from the best!" I smile anxiously before nodding. "Sure, I can go with that. I'll go hit up another quest, I'll be back soon."
Jun 25 19:06:49 <Panda|Elias>	I head for the hunter's guild and grab the Golem quest off of the wall before pondering and heading for the Guild Master again. "Hey, can I get in on this hunt? I owe it a few."||
Jun 25 19:07:48 <Vern|GM>	"Maybe, I actually aimed it to be a Rank 5 quest, so if you get promoted quickly, we can work something out." ||
Jun 25 19:11:33 <Panda|Elias>	"On it." I give a sloppy salute before heading to my quarters and catching up on some sleep before checking on the smith a few hours later for my armor and gun.||
Jun 25 19:13:46 <Vern|GM>	The gun shined in golden and white light, and patches of fur were on the shoulder of the old armor that buzzed with energy... it was a successful night. ||||
