Welcome Back![/color]

A ring appeared upon the stones that made up one of the many paths of the city of Mac Anu. This hadn't been the first time Foucoult had emerged within its boundaries and probably would not be the last. The glowing ring spread into a rune that would float upward becoming the gateway that would draw the silver haired warrior into existence. The being floated before landing onto the solid ground. His eyes opened with a fierce glow that would cause lesser beings to shudder.

Just a few blocks ahead, he would find a rather peculiar man whom had the appearance of a nation's flag: he had been left out on a pole in too many storms. In fact, he had been a proud warrior who had seen the edge of a blade and the tip of the spear many times. He was a rag doll, foolishly proud, and worn down. However, the strength he found in his previous exploits left him with an aura of satisfaction that kept him going from day to day.

Of course, these were mere observations by a warrior who had no plans of being left behind as an ancient replica of combat. He had higher ambitions and nothing less than a monolithic statue in his honor would serve him justice. Foucoult smirked as he approached the man, a statue would be excellent.

The man's rehearsed lines were short, brash, and demeaning to say the slightest. He smirked after his insults, expecting the new players to quickly retreat. Foucoult shrugged simply. "I'll do your job for you and it'll be done quickly." The white haired man turned away quickly, his hair whipping behind him. His glowing eyes glanced around as he marched off toward the many bridges within the city, attempting to find these supposedly hidden tunnels.

[Quest Begin... Mod?]

[Lineaux]

You look around town for a good amount of time, along the way you see a few cloaked figures standing around that look like they might be NPCs, but because you're on a quest for earning a level, you ignore them.

You continue looking around the Mercenary District of the city, until you hear a cry from behind you, and a young girl running out of the Back alleyway. "Help! The Goblins are down there! and they have my brother!"

Option 1: [Continue searching and ignore the girl's plea]
Option 2: [Lend the Girl your Aid]
Option 3: [Report back to The Captain that, after your thorough investigation, the tunnel doesn't exist.]

[Foucoult]

Foucoult had only been searching for a few minutes, passing by a mysterious group that for no apparent reason he decided not to approach. Down the road, a young girl was running toward him with great speed, shouting about her brother being taken.

The blade master smirked and the grin was apparent from the start. "I can help you out," He paused, yawning slightly as if he had no where to go fast. "However, you must tell me why they have him and what might you have as payment for the services of a great warrior such as myself." Foucoult was no hero and was not about to do work for cheap or free. The only proposition that made the idea of helping her stay together was the fact that he would get the chance to kill some creatures and earn experience.

His pointed ears twitched suddenly, remembering his mission. His blank expression returned to a serious one as he looked at her, his eyes cutting. "Oh, and you'll have to tell me anything and everything you know about any hidden passageways in this plain city." His demands were firm and unwavering and he felt he had the power to back them up.

[Lineaux]

The girl would have been taken aback by the player's harsh words were she not an NPC. Instead she continued. "Please, can you help him!? My brother and I were playing down in the alley, when we heard some voices! When we looked into that big hole in the wall The goblins jumped out and attacked us! They pulled him inside and I ran away!! please help, it's this way!!"

Option 1: [That girl obviously didn't have anything of value, ignore her and continue searching.]
Option 2: [Follow the girl, perhaps there will be extra EXP to be found.]

[Foucoult]

Foucoult smiled broadly, the two children had found exactly what the so-called general had not discovered in a long period of time. Chuckling out loud still, the girl might have thought he were insane had she a personal opinion that could be expressed. She was poor and carried nothing, but the reward would have to come in the satisfaction of beating the goblins into nothing followed by exploring this "hole" they inhabited.

The dark warrior leaned his blade against his shoulder and smiled once more showing his canine teeth were unusually sharp and stuck out. His glowing amber eyes surged with the thrill once more. "Yeah, lead me the way." His laugh had a giddy quality. "I'll save your brother and kill whatever these monsters think that they have going for them."

Without more discussion, Foucoult started walking in the direction she had come from, expecting her to lead him.

[Lineaux]

The girl will run back towards the alley when you accept the quest, telling you to follow her. You give pursuit. As you turn the corner into the alley you'll see that you are now on a narrow path between the rear of the Weapons shop and a waterway. There are no windows or other pathways for people to see you.

Up ahead There is a Hole in the wall that seems to have had a Wooden plank covering it up. It would have been more inconspicuous here, since there are empty crates and scrap lumber lying around all around the hole, presumably discarded there by the weapon shop clerks. The girl will stop in her tracks as you round the corner, and hides behind a crate as a Goblin Grunt emerges from the hole.

Option 1: [Fight the Goblin]
Option 2: [Attempt to hide behind the crate.]

[Foucoult]

Foucoult followed the girl although his speed only reflected his following her rather than a sense of emergency. She hid quickly and the hideous creature appeared from the tunnel.

Foucoult withdrew his blade and allowed his wicked smile to surface. "Unfortunately for you, I am not one of too many words." His eyes blinked quickly. Could Goblins even speak or understand basic language? "That's a bit too bad; no one will be able to understand your pitiful plights of fear and dread as you feel the life escaping your body."

Without another word, Foucoult charged swinging his blade, performing the arc attack he had gained from leveling up earlier. The strike was mean't to be followed up by another barrage of strikes in the form of his cross slash. He would be relentless and nonchalant for the sanctity of the monster's life.

[Lineaux]

The Goblin looks over it's shoulder, surprised to see you diving at it. You launch it into the air with your Aerial Arc. It hits the ground and quickly gets back up. It attempts to hit you before getting hit by your Cross Slash. "You don't know what you're Getting yourself into *Gob*" The Goblin mutters, preparing to Lunge back at you.

Goblin Grunt Level: 3 HP: 70 [||||||||||] SP:[||||||||||] Element: none

As your Cycle is loading the Goblin will lunge at you with it's thick, rusty sword, attempting to slice open your stomach.

[Foucoult]

The creature took both of the attacks quite well, which returned Foucoult to his original train of thought: He was still in the process of gaining power, no matter how highly he talked of himself. The warrior smirked as it charged him before he had unleashed his cross slash.

Unable to strike, the monster approached and swung at him with the nasty blade. Agile and athletic, Foucoult managed to roll underneath the strike, but came back up too quickly, taking a hit from the back swing of the blade. Fortunately, it was not as lethal as a direct hit from the edge of the blade.

"You obviously have no idea who I am."[/font] His amber eyes flashed as he charged once more, taking another large swipe with every intention of following up the assault with another strike if possible. He would slay the beast quickly and prove he was the most powerful warrior in the world.

(...Do I need to post my stats, etc? I don't know how concrete the stat system is yet? lol)

[Lineaux]

((now that we're in battle, post how much HP and SP you have left after every post, or do the gauge thing like I do. You pretty much just infer how much damage you're taking at this point, since we don't have solid damage figures.))

The goblin took the first strike from behind and rolled forward, turning to parry the second strike. It held it's Sword up to parry any attack that was to be directed at it.

Goblin Grunt Level: 3 HP: 52 [||||||||||] SP:[||||||||||] Element: none

your character would know, if they read the manual, that the only way to break through a monster's guard is to hit it with a skill or a charged attack.

[Foucoult]

(Edit: nvm... forgot to do melee haste in my stats so I CAN fight back lol)

Hp 75 / Sp 16

Foucoult growled as he charged forward, blade ready. As he leapt into the air releasing another arc'd slash. He smirked as he came down on the creature releasing a flurry of slashes. His eyes flared with great ambition as he did several handstands to create a space between himself and the goblin.

He stood readied for the next move by the goblin.

[Lineaux]

((RE: Foucoult))

Your Arc Attack breaks the goblin's guard and your subsequent combo knocks the Goblin back. The Goblin Falls back and stands back up slowly. IT looks pretty weak at this point.

Goblin Grunt Level: 3 HP: 28 [||||||||||] SP:[||||||||||] Element: none

He Charges again at you, flailing it's weapon around. After that he plans on calling reinforcements, assuming he survives that long.
