It wasn't very often that Xavier found himself looking for a task to partake in. Granted he had made about two friends while being on the servers and still found himself alone majority of the time. Perhaps he should throw himself into more stuff around the area? Who knows?! Someone else might pop up and find an interest in interacting with him. Moving to the mission board he began swiping through it with a placid expression. The sociopath saw few things that interested him till he swiped upon something out of the element.

While it was true the game ran on real time in the world, the quest had several options each had its own seasonal setting. What an intense idea right?! Something that brought about the end of Spring to the beginning of Winter, Xavier yearned for a challenge. Opening the quest offering made by a Morohtar, Xavier scrolled the options before pressing the winter setting. Opening his private messages, he had to ponder which of the two he would pick to do this quest with.. Rubbing his chin he could do the angst teen or perhaps the overly happy Boss man himself.

Scrolling down the list of two he shrugged and closed his eyes. Pressing down the message was deployed out to Steele.

Mail

"Steele I have a quest offering for you... Takes place close to winter time, now I know its summer but this looks like a lot of fun to do.. Join me? Thanks man! I knew you would join for this money making and growth stepping opportunity!! Here are the coordinates, see you in the Adecus Forest! Dress warmly."

QUEST

These bastards have been eating everything; from live stock to weary travelers. As such the villages are sick of it. So you've been deemed with the glory of slaying these damned beasts. Get to it brave adventurer. It's getting cold and their sweet pelt will help keep warm; vengeance will be sweet. Killing a few dozen might send a message.
​

Objectives:

• Hunt down and kill the wolves causing trouble.
• Bring back their pelt for the leather workers.

Optional:

• Find their Den.
• Kill their Alpha; the alpha wolf.

Once the message was sent, Xavier took up the coordinates for meeting the Morohtar in the main city of Stokbon. Taking a short moment to gather himself he picked up his trash tier gear and went on his way. Arming himself before hand he did not want to be caught with his pants down... Well they would be up but still it was a funny terminology to use. Along the way he picked himself up a warm coat to help brace for cold drafts and the first signs of snow. Checking his feet the already placed combat boots would work just fine. Perhaps a better pair of socks? No.. The setting was not yet Winter time, but Winter was indeed coming.

Going to speak with the person he accepted the quest ahead of time. The notification would be updated to Steele as the quest was now taken upon their shoulders. Sauntering off Xavier jogged to the next set of stores in order to take up food rations and a water container to keep himself hydrated. Next he picked out a blanket that was easily concealable for when they needed to rest. He did not doubt they could find shelter, the concern was that the shelter would not yield proper protection. Taking up a tinder box he nodded to himself lightly. It was a pity he was no ax user or else they would be set on fire wood no?

Once he was stocked for the trip he went on his way towards the forest. Upon leaving the gate he spied some familiar orphans watching him go. Their grubby faces pinched from ear to ear with a smile as they waved him off. "Come back soon!!" They cried out before running off to cause some mischief no doubt. The walk took a bit of time but he was one who enjoyed nature thoroughly. The quiet places of the world were places he could easily call home without batting and eye. Each booted step carried him further out the coat upon his shoulders and a backpack full of supplies plus two containers for water for himself. "Let's get this started shall we?!" Speaking aloud to himself the man finally approached the entrance to the woods. Standing directly in the coordinated spot he waited for Steele to arrive.

@Aaron Steele

 

As Aaron had spent the greater half his day running around n the real world; getting new supplies for the cleaning crew; adjusting some of the gym equipment. Mr. Steele kept himself busy, but thanks to a long hard work out and a hot shower he was ready to wrap up his day. Putting on his VR equipment and heading upstairs from his business to his house he'd smile some warmly. Entering the game of Terrasphere he'd be there all but a few minutes. Entering the game, summoning his lovely shadow cat to play with and grinning with excitement. Finishing up fairly quick he'd make his way on and off towards Stokbon's Tavern. A place he often frequented. Eyes shifting he'd rub the back of his head some as he began to try and figure out what to do with his day; given he had no plan in game at least not yet. But God bless those who deserve it and for him this was great; a message. One from Weissman at that. A faint smile would pass as the male opened the message and scanned it over some.

Raising a hand he'd quickly look through his friends list, opening it and selecting Weissman he'd send out the party request as well a send a message himself.

Invite

Aaron Steele has invited you to their party. Accept?

Mail

So it seems you found quite the quest man, that's great. I've sent a party invite. Don't forget to accept and share the quest through the party option. I'm already over in Stokbon, let me peeps the coordinates and I'll meet you there not long from now.

He'd say as he went off to meet him. Meanwhile the male known as Morohtar would have met with the figure handing out the quest officially. "Hey, Weissman right, simpel enough. The villagers in Brishal seem to need some aid; I'm actaully busy right now with my life. I find myself torn and I can not properly keep focused on the tasks at hand; almost as if I'm torn between two worlds, mine and this one. My father and his empire need me, as justice and protection of those who come and ask for our aid is not one we turn away. None the less; justice does not sleep in this world either and I need aid keeping up with it. The villagers in those woods are scattered but will need help. So here is the quest they sent me. I'll leave it to you two. This one in particular is one that happens every winter but every once in the while they will send them out early before the transfer. So enjoy this one while you can. When it's a frozen wonderland this is much hared; consider this some simple training wheels. Anyways I'm off; if you need anything send me a messenger bird." he'd say before walking off and logging out.

Not too much later Aaron steel would walk through the gates of Stokbon and made his way to the forest; his supplies already set up. Eyes viewing the area around him he'd take note of his team mate. Arriving by the male he'd smile and nod, "Yo Weismann, whats up broseph. So looks like we are going Wolf hunting huh. Alright then, lets slay some bitches. How you been?" he'd say taking forth without waiting as he drew his shield and sword; "I finally been accepted as a paladin. I've got the base required training for the magic use. Now, I need to prove my devotion and become a templar." he said with a grin, his hand raising to show his basic abilit to cast a light orb and a healing glow; "Stil need more practice but better than naught." he'd say laughing.

As the Duo made their way into the area he'd arch a brow, "So we are just hunting wolves and slaying them. Nothng to fancy, thougth I read an optional task of finding the alpha's cave or something. Got any ideas of how to do that?" he'd ask curiously his own thoughts racing as he tried to figure out how to do that. The duo walking in the cool day; their breaths taking over as it felt more like fall not quite winters; perhaps the games mechanics were wacked out or it varied on the area. Intersting. None the less howling was soon heard as the duo would soon be surrounded on all sides by a small pack of wolves. Raising his shield he'd nod to his team mate, "Focus one and we'll drop them slowly. Don't fear about taking a hit; although I'll do my best to take as many hits as I can." he'd say as he rushed forth striking hard with his blade at one, slamming his shield back against he other who strukc him. Causing himself to take aggro giving Weissman some openings.

A large smile crossed the mans face as Aaron appeared at the waiting spot. A chuckle escaped his lip as he mimiced something that might have been joy. Walking on beside the other he gave the man a large thumbs up before grinning. "I have been in and out really. I am not yet at such a place to making choices on what to be. I might have to find something like a Monk something were its light arms and mostly my fists!" Giving a sure fire smile he flexed his fingers lightly before pulling out his trash dagger. Flipping it through his fingers he debated the other class possibilities for himself.

"So you like the whole Holy side of things. That is something I should have expected from you and your view points. Somehow I still had my doubts." Raising a brow he examined the magic with interest and curiosity. "Magic is something that uses energy as well I am sure.. So this game has its lack of an MP bar. How generous to make you cautious on how you spend your points." Wrinkling his nose he did admire this place a bit and the makers sense of restriction and strategy.

Their walk had barely begun before the temperatures began their steady decline the further in they went. It was no longer summer heats but now fall chills to the bone. Even the nature around looked dead or dying to say in the least. In their vibrant away of settings he contemplated what Monohtar said earlier. Looking at Steele the man was a shining example of what the man wanted to see done. Perhaps they could do it and he could find his place, yet his spot would be in dealing with PKing..

The sound of howls and padding feet over dying leaves broke his train of thought. Swiftly turning to place his back to Steele's he drew his knife without fear. Things were about to get interesting and mostly exciting now. "I would like to find the Alpha and yes i have an idea but that requires us keeping two alive. The rest can be disposed of. We need them to lead us back." Weissman said lightly before lunging forward with a killing intent.

Driving his knife forward he stabbed at the wolfs neck while dragging his arm down to try and secure a grasp upon the wolfs scruff. He was going to commit to one, he was not armed to handle a few it was all or nothing with a dagger and fists. He played with full pain measures applied it was the only way to make him feel alive. To the Death.

@Aaron Steele OOC: Yeah uh I got 0 in all my stuff for now, i have not yet branched out enough just yet. As for the health thing am I subtracting yours as well?

 

As the battle began and the duo had begun their assault his strike upon the wolves seemed to deem some aggro; yet the strike made from his team mate also made some noise. A faint smile passed as he swiftly spun back striking the wolf which had the audacity to strike his ally, let alone the gall to think he could get away unpunished. Lips curling he'd take a strike to the back swiftly slamming his shield into another wolf. His blade dragging up into that same wolf would slice at it as he came down hard sending it towards another. The one which originally had been struck by now would have struck him back knocking him off balance some as the wolves circled him once more. Hunkering down he'd grin wide and howl into the air; mocking them as he stomped his feet some. Eyes glowing red he'd grin wide, "Alright fur balls bring it on..." was all that left his mouth. He was entering his berserk state and given his Proficiency with it. He had enough control to still remain somewhat mentally there. It was then he'd feel the rush of adrenaline fill him up as they charged in and he'd laugh aloud; arms cocked back stricking one wolf with his shield and the other with the hilt of his sword.

The other knocked him forward as two more attacked him at his base and leg. His sword swiftly launching forward would strike at the beast's neck, severing it from his leg. The other jumping back growled angrily as he smiled and laughed a bit tsking as the wolves, "Come on, your hitting like puppies you lot of pussies." he'd say with a devilish grin, despite being a man of holy power, he did have a darker side; yet this was more barbaric than malicious. His health bar seemed to drop little by little through out the combat as he continued to swing his blade about, striking and slashing at the beast; his shield deflecting and bashing the wolves back to stun lock them for his ally would remain questionably about the field, some injured and bleeding he'd remain around the seventy five percentile mark in regards to his health. A grin passed now as he laughed more and threw his arms back, "That's it boys, give it all you got, I won't even stop you. Bring it on...bite harder than that, just you wait, my blood might cover your maws, but it is yours who will paint these forests red." he said like a mad man; had one not known about the Berserker skill he'd appear just that.

Eyes glowing red his body slowly begn to glow as well, each strike and drop to his health as he fought the wolves like an animal himself using his shield like a blade stabbing into and slashing at the wolfs, his sword used as a blade. Almost as if they'd swiched places occasionally. No, he was utilizing them to their max as the rage which grew inside him manifested itself as the red aura; his health nearing the sixty percent range now revealed his true movtives as he could dodge the wolves and each hit seemed to be doing intense damage. The wolves dropping one by one; until a howl was made and more came running in, "BRING IT ON YOU PANSY ASS COWARDS!" he'd howl charging in to really let loose, all the while one or two would shift focus to the male targeting them as steele's new mode failed to pull in aggro on anything he hadn't hit nor focused on. His lips curled he'd grin even more devious as he spun about the wolves, one after another taking severe hits, leaving them injured and bleeding.

As the battle would continue onward, the male known as Weissman would be surounded by about three wolves roughly. The blood he had crafted during his assault the object of their desire; thus he'd gained a small following. The male known as steele had slain about four wolves and now roughly was surrounded by seven more. Thanks to the calls of their breathern. However, a great deal of the wolves are bleeding. Thanks to their howl, the pack was reformed and somewhere off at distance in some cave; the alpha was alerted. Perhaps slaying more might get his attention. Otherwise, one of the severly injured wolves has seemed to slip off into the forest, a small trail of blood remains as a clue. Should they live it might be in their best interest to follow the path. But until then, there remained a total of ten wolves, growling and preparing to rip their throats out. His sword raised the male known as Aaron had begun chanting a prayer as Weissman began to glow; healing him through the powers of the lord known as Tyl. The god of Paladinhood and justice, "Thank thy maker Weisseman, for through him I've managed to become a vesel of justice...albiet a slightly tainted one." he'd say with a laugh teasing about his barbaric state.

OOC: We can just add our own; via edit. Also I believe I'm going to make this a bit quicker. Even Rolls are Double Damage; this includes any bonus added to them. So my 6 was 12; seem fair enough? It will help the slaying of wolves go faster unless you want to make this a harder difficulty and alot of posts? It is already going to take time to get to the alpha as this is only 1/2 packs before him.

 

Adrenaline roared within the males ears as his blade caught home in the wolfs neck. The next aimed to bite him in the shoulder and was met with success short lived. As the pain rippled through his body he felt alive more than ever. The blade found home in the dome of the second wolf which he used as a shield against the next to come. Rolling backwards behind the body an attacking wolf just missed Weissman by a hair. The blade was free and already a well aimed fist struck the beast square in the ribs. A wicked crack was heard as Xavier turned to face Steele in his Beserk habits. "Now that is useful no?!" He said allowed while darting low in and around Steele. For every wolf he had stunned Weissman made damn sure to end its life with a strike to the nape or skull. The trash tier dagger ran red as did his entire left arm.

Blood pooled out of his wound but slowed as time went on. He danced like a wild man dances during a blood feast. The wolf with broken ribs dared its luck again with Weissman, lunging forward to his leg the man jumped forward. Allowing the beast to grab hold his dagger found home in the back of the creatures neck, its teeth were shallow and not as effective. Giving the dagger a twist the wolf yelped as the remainder of its life was sapped from its body. Stumbling off to the side, Xavier had nearly lost his balance as he worked to get full feeling back into his leg. Crouching low he dived into the fray that Aaron had gained for himself, putting the blade to good work he caught a wolf in mid flight. Jabbing the dagger into the neck he let the beast drop while barreling into a lone creeper at Aaron's back.

Lowering his own shoulder he slammed into the beast while jabbing inward and upward with his blade cutting and rending the beasts belly open. The howls rang out and the fray seemed nearly endless as blood matted the ground beneath their feet. Having his bag torn from his back some while ago Xavier had to admit it was getting a bit more exciting. There was no doubt the Alpha was aware of their presence and intent to exterminate to a degree.

"You're sense of humor is rather dry like your Gospels." Teasing back at the man he wasted no time as the three wolves in his section advanced. The first went low the second went medium and the other went low again. Driving forward with his left hand, he impaled the first releasing the dagger his left arm bent at the elbow. Continuing his momentum he dropped the elbow home into the seconds snout and mouth crushing it shut as his weight went down. The right hand that dragged behind yanked the blade free of the first wolf and landed it firmly into the neck of the third as he forced his weight down hard on the second to entrap it.

The blade worked marvelously as he ripped the dagger our crudely by the dull end spraying blood in the second wolfs eyes to blind it before driving the blade home into the jugular. Yet Weissman didn't bother to wait as he picked up the small wolfs body and chucked it into the group that surrounded Aaron. Watching the Paladin heal himself Xavier was not too bad on health but that wasn't the best condition to be in either.

Lips curling into a grin as the duo broke off into perfect combat. Slicing and slaying several wolves it wouldn't be long before they were down to just a few. Then the damned beasts called for Reinforcements, but thankfully there was a cool down to such things. This allowed for them to wail into the beasts; once more the duo took off into action, Aaron giving into his berserk state slaying what he could weaken others. Left Xavier in a better state; causing him to slaughter all but four current wolves. His eyes shifting to meet the other after he had healed him; he'd grin, "Feeling better?" he asked keeping his health low to utilize his skill; barbaric yet effective as he still had his red aura about him. His eye a glow he'd once more take off into the small pack. His sword running along side their body; slashing into them. His body turning to meet theirs as he came up swift with his sword slicing upward to slay the wolf before him. His lips parting he'd swing his sword in a circle before raising it up to shout, "SMITE!" as he cast it down upon another wolf; hoping some extra holy damage might destroy the beast a bit faster. His lips shifting to a grin as he ran over and began his assault once more, the wolves dropping one by one between them.

=====================

Assuming the duo had done what was needed to finish off the foul beats he'd shift his body some and cast another spell of healing upon his team mate then himself. His eyes shifting about he'd turn to the male, "Yo...blood droppings, one must have gotten away. But before we go, gather the pelt. I'm certain the folks of the village said something about wanting it" he'd say as he took to a knee and began collecting the pelt via the game options. Taking some meat while he was at it and the wolf fang, miscellaneous object. Maybe he could find a crafter to turn it into a necklace. After the two cleared the area and go their goodies. He'd motion the other male to follow him as they made their way over towards the wolf. Slowly but surely the male would arrive not too far off from where the path seemed to resolve. A dead wolf having led them to some opening. His sword piercing the skull to make sure it was dead and not just unconscious he'd rub the back of his head. "So we found it, but where are the others. Surely this wasn't the only escapee, yes. Now, where could the others have gone."

He'd scan the area seeing no signs of life. Noting the small river beside them he'd look to it and grin, "Life follows life, vaildhuh. Maybe this River will lead us valid source around here." he said as he soon followed up after the river. Finding that it lead after quite some time of walking to a mountain, with a small waterfall running at its edge. Eyes scanning along the path he'd nudge his team mate, seeing a few stray wolves appearing to head towards a certain goal; unknowingly he'd lift a finger to his lips to follow. The two would try to do just that, had they been successful they'd find themselves in a location of extreme interest. A cave near an opening, Where it would appear a few wolves were resting; A fairly large one indeed just big enough to be ridden perhaps. He must have been the alpha. Raising his sword he'd begin to slowly chant and then scream "SMITE!" as it echoed in the cave causing it to shake waking the beast; his attack hitting the roof of the cave it would cause a small cave in through out; as the wolves ran out. Most died in the process; all but a few seemed to escape; the Alpha perhaps not being as lucky?

Now faced with their second wave of wolves. The male would grin,"You ready buddy?" he asked taking his defensive stance His blade lifted to strike as he charged on once more; the herculean fool slashing away and blocking what he could. A rather dull yet rinse and repeat form of combat. One which worked so he cared little for the intricate details of why he should change it up. His lips parting he'd strike at the beast in question, his own voice echoing, "SMITE!" he'd shout trying to once more use the powers of justice and the Lord Tyl to strike down the beasts, "You alright Weissman?" he'd ask as he backed up to the male as the wolves which remained began to try and circle them. All the while the alpha inside was viciously trying to break free of his imprisonment. The paladin was a bit tired from all the spells and fighting; he couldn't wait to get some rest and claim the reward for this quest; all that remained were these few wolves.

Flexing his fingers gently Weissman smirked with pleasure as the killing would soon resume. There was an unspoken measure of joy in his step. As the wolf howled for more help the cool down was already in place. This made the man smile all the wider as he jumped into action. Weissman wasted no time in striking a bold blow into the snout of one creature. The dagger followed next as he aimed to impale the other nearest to him. His body moved like a bullet but when his weight slammed into the creature it would feel like a rock. Both creatures went down slowly no doubt but surely.

With the last four wolves before the man, Weiss rolled his shoulders and nodded in thanks for the healing spell. "You are far too kind good sir! Too kind! Thank you thank you!" Having a bit of fun with the moment of pause, his crimson orbs were semi glazed over with a hunger for battle. It was almost as if were just focused on keeping himself from shaking too much in anticipation. When Steele moved so did Xavier his blade flashing in the wooded light. The beasts cries were soon silenced as they dropped down between the two wild men on the hunt for justice. When the last beast had been slain Xavier sat back to take a moment in order to gather himself. Steele had made a good point to include taking up the pelts and some other items from the beasts.

Gathering a few pelts himself he took a set of claws for a later use. He would not sell them this time, perhaps he might have them crafted into a weapon of sorts. Carving some meat out as well, he could bring this back for the orphans to cook and eat. A bit of food for thought. Regardless break time had ended as quickly as it had begun; the trail of blood was their saving grace to find the den no doubt. "I dare say.. This was a lucky yet unexpected turn out.. To have one lead us before dying.. We must be some lucky people.." Weissman understood the taboo with speaking about luck, but he could not help but fight the lucky feeling in his bones at the moment. Taking up his dagger in hand he was sure to follow at Steele's side until they had reached the waterfall.

Xavier's eyes widened as he saw the waterfall before them, nature was truly something to marvel at some times. The nudge brought his attention to the few wolves who had been moving along the waters edge to their base of operation. Like Steele he had concluded that the Alpha was indeed somewhere within the cave beyond. With haste Aaron had yet again exhausted more of his strength in entrapping the alpha and diminishing their numbers greatly. He would not let such a chance go to waste in the least. Pushing forward he did not wait for the other to go in alone. As Steele went forward he came from around the back rounding upon the first target. With a solid strike he hit home on the tired wolf impaling it through the neck. Pulling the dagger out once again, he lashed out with a solid kick into a wolf who had gotten too close. The foot struck square in the rib cage before the second lash back caught it across the face. Weissman was all offensive at this point his gauntlet hand swung to fend off a leaping wolf while the dagger plunged into one that aimed for his foot. His body pitched and rolled the trash tier blade whipped and flashed crimson in the sun light.

As Steele disengaged for a moment Weissman was not there for him to back into just yet. Tumbling with two beasts he struck the first with a solid heel while switching knife hands to draw the blade from out of another corpse. His right hand was held in a vice bite before he struck the beast square atop the head with the blade. Pulling the weapon out Weissman sat up just enough to catch the neck wolf in mouth with the blade. Cutting its face open he grabbed the side of its skull and slammed the dagger home. Blood dripped from his right hand as he switched the dagger back into place. As he rose and Steele had back up towards him a lone wolf had circled.

Rushing forward Weissman intercepted the pouncing beast stabbing it several times in the chest as it nipped at his upraised arm. "Doing just fine man!" Weiss said in a gruff tone as he pushed the corpse off of himself and rose to a kneeling position. His optics narrowed as he counted the diminished number of troops. They had to hurry at this point and erase as many as they could. Pushing forward Weiss clenched his left hand tightly into a fist as two wolves approached. With his arms spread wide he dashed towards them striking one in the open mouth and the other with the dagger on the underside of the chin. The blade pierced to the brain while the gauntleted hand shatter teeth and dislocated the jaw. To which the dagger swiftly found its home nestled in the disabled creatures brain. "I could do this all day.. I am just getting.. Started!"

@Aaron Steele

 

As the two began their assault on the new wolves all seemed to be going well; most had fallen. While other stayed true to their nature and fought til their last breath; a few even ran. But what remained was enough to keep them busy. Shields bashing, blade slicing and all in a short burst. WIth his health depleted to a fair amount he'd raise his blade to cast a healing spell; although to be quite fair it wasn't as effective as he hoped and on top of that he now grabbed all the aggro one might hope a healer would. His body shifting down he'd grin as he once more took off into the pack; hacking and slashing away. His health fuller than it was, his mind seemed to be returned to normal; avoiding the berserk state for now. Each slashes a new task hoping to remove what was left. His lips curling as he moved slower but more defensively no longer making powerful and quick blows, but slow and precise ones. Changing up his energy reserves, as well as giving his ally a chance to show off; all while retaining aggro and building up his anger for the berserk state once more. Eyes shifting to the other he'd laugh some and shout, "You going to step up and finish off these wolves or am I to die of old age slowly hacking away til they pass?" he'd ask arching a brow hoping he might get @Xavier Weissman to be a bit more into the fight. Eyes shifting back to the wolves as he once more remained focused on them he'd take a few hits sending him back and onto a knee.

Note: First two rolls for these wolves to die. Next two for the alpha.

"Well fuck this. I'm done being nice; time to let it rip once more, lets do this." he said as his eyes began to glow, with the remaining health he had left, his speed and strength were once more growing and with his current state in regards to damage he burst forth and slammed hard into the wolves spinning and slashing about but this was not the end of it, no. It appeared as the wolves dropped one by one but at the hands of Xavier Weissman or himself the males would have done just enough to trigger some sort of event or cause their story to progress as the cavern walls seemed to be crumbling and a head popped out of the rocks fighting to escape. The alpha, it appeared they hadn't finished him off nor was this to be the end of him either. Yet with a big health bar and a mean attitude he'd howl and let them know he wanted blood. Already larger in size, he became quite the intimidating factor. Utilizing this to instill fear upon his prey and the players; a unique mark upon them appearing. Their actions pausing momentarily as if to stun them. Steele taking several more hits before snapping out of it and helping finish of whatever wolves remained. His attention shifting to the target in question he'd part his lips. "Now the small fries are gone, are you ready to handle the big bad wolf?" he said raising his hand to heal the two of them, not a lot but enough as the raging wolf grew more agitated and burst out the wall, nothing behind him; just himself.

Raising his shield he'd charge in quickly his blameshifting to slash as the beast as it jumped back taking only the tip of the blade to it; azure colored eyes meeting that of his own. Sanguine liquid dripping from its fur as it pooled on its chest, eyes locked upon him he'd hunker down and taunt, "Oh you're a pussy I see, let's see how deep my blade gets inside of you. I've already slain your kin bitch, whats up Fam?" he'd say grinning using some of the newer lingo he learned from his students. The two charging in once more as the shield clashed up against the mighty paw; his sword meeting with its claw as it held the sword down going in for his neck. The shield bashing back against the creature's maw as he turned, "Any day now bro...not trying to solo." he'd tease as he turned to the wolf, "Now you're fucked...my boy X...he gonna give it to yeah!" he'd shout before laughing and singing the song. "Oooooh X gonna give it to ya, Fuck waitin' for you to get it on your own, cuz X gonna deliver to ya. Knock knock....Go hard gettin' busy with it, but I got such a good heart ... 'Cuz I am right so I gots to win" he'd sing as he did his best to fight; his age clearly showing as he continued to sing. "Break bread wit the enemy But no matter how many cats I break bread with I'll break who you sendin' me You motherfuckers never wanted nothin' but your life saved, Bitch and that's on a light day..." he'd say before stopping his song to arf and bark at the beast mocking it.

There was a long silence as Xavier stabbed and shoved dead bodies away. He couldn't exactly house all of the wolves at once with a mere Mcstabberson, but he could damn well try and take them out. "Keep drawing aggro and you will have to while I whittle them down to size." Shifting in his position he stabbed away at a quicker rate jumping into the fray Steele had pulled into himself by healing them both for the moments sake. The dagger hit home without fail leaving a large blood trail in its wake.

Weiss quickly slide under the belly of one wolf cutting it open before jabbing another one square in the jugular with force. It's cry was cut short as blood sprayed the ground roughly. When Steele taunted at him once more for fun Xavier only smiled as he did what was asked from the Boss man. Jumping in he put his blade to immense work and began cutting faces and paws down to size till one or two fled the rest ended up with Mcstabberson hilted in their skulls. There was somewhat of a placid expression upon his face that looked almost pleased to be in this situation. The man forced him to step up his game and so he would, how could he want to Kill Pker's and enjoy being a Pker if he was not up to par on what needed to be done!

[These are for the last Wolves. The last one is for the intimidation factor.]

When the last of the wolves had fall to their death or ran, Xavier smiled at the Alpha as its head pushed out from the ground. "Look whose late to join the party.." Rolling the dagger around between his fingers Weissman stepped forward but froze for a moment from the intimidation factor. Yet he shook it off rather quickly as he took a moment to catch his breath. So this feeling and sensation was the Alpha wolf; what a beast no? When Steele charged in Xavier was at his side once more he would not let the man fall to such a beast alone! None the less he wouldn't let the Boss man continue to get a big head in this situation. As it was Weiss was at more of a risk than the boss man was. This did not bother him in the least bit however.

Come what may, death was death and everyone died some day no? Pushing himself past Steele he just barely avoided the paws swipe before going under the beast and cutting up along its side. Rolling out he avoided a rear paw from clawing him directly in the chest. A laugh left his lips as he knew this song all too well, bouncing from side to side when Steele started to break free Weiss was there. Jumping into the air and over the mans head he brought his dagger down upon the beast cutting it straight down one eye and side of the face. Reaching down he grabbed a hold of the fur as well. Using it to keep him lodged on the beasts back his knife went to work! "Stabberson!!!" He cried out as he began impaling the creature around the neck and back with force as no doubt the wolf tried to trash him off. Yet Weiss was not about to have that happen now was he. The wolf bounced and gnashed its teeth at its back before starting to roll to get Weiss off of its back.

The man laughed as he swiftly let go and bounced back suffering a solid heel kick to the chest. He stumbled back before falling backwards and rolling into a crouch. Giving a large thumbs up the man charged forward once more in order to engage the beast as blood matted the Alpha's back and stomach. Mcstabberson was doing a hell of a job for its first encounter.

As the duo faced off against he wolves, they took their time but eventually slaughtered them. However, they had little time to recooperate from such an assult, in retaliation however they soon were met with their target the alpha. Yet s it would be know, Steele and Xavier were no strangers to danger. In fact it was their middle name; steele not as cautious as he was a tank he'd hope his ally wasn't going to go too crazy. As the duo soon faced the massive beast steele would do his best taunting and taking heavy hits from the beast; his rage fueling onward as his partners had; their combined efforts wailing into the beast resulting in some massive damage; but they were lucky not to mention xavier was as well. For his quick actions and multiple strikes put him into the range of the beast; several strikes exchanged before steele had to step in taking an otherwise fatal blow on the lad.


"Easy there big guy, baby steps. Here.." he'd say his shield knocking the wolf back as he attempted to cast heal on his team mate; His attention shifting as he then darted forth striking hard upon the beast before it howled and he jumped back. The summoning of a few inured wolves out the cave that managed to barely life ran out. His head shifting he'd turn his focus on them as they attempted to kill him. HIs blade meeting thier bodies swiftly eager to end their lives. A faint smirk passing as he slayed a few but a decent size packed remained. How many was there...would Xavier be fine to be left unguarded. His thoughts raced as he hoped for the best but prepared for the worst. Having fully healed his team mate hed shout, "So what do you think now, remove the ads avoid the big guy or focus the big guy and let them nip away at our health. They are all pretty weak. Might be best to avoid one compared to slaying one and avoiding all." he'd shout giving his two cents on the matter.

With a light hearted smile the man stood up and hefted his blade into the air before catching it once more. Rolling the blooded blade between his finger tips Weissman gazed about as the Alpha howled its frustrations and summoning of small wolves into the fray. "Sorry I can't help it.. I am.. Just a tad bit tapped.." Weissman laughed lightly before turning to drop and elbow down into an advancing beast. The blade disappeared into its flesh then reappeared in crimson. Stepping forward he cut a few more down as he thought about the problem at hand. Rather it might be best that Steele handled the big man for the time being while Weissman took out the rest no? Only several remained each having slain a few a piece already. "Hold the big man and whittle him down, I've got the rest.. No worries I won't go dying on you." Laughing it off the man dartd forward his blade flashing in the woods light as he cut up and stabbed down on two different beasts. Blood painted the ground as he moved, their nips were gentle but still a small amount of his health bar went down.

The man rushed in without fear and full confidence that Steele could manage in his absence. Jumping back several paces he moved to Steele's left side to clean house. The right side had fairly diminished as the wolves had taken it upon themselves to clamor his way. "What ever you do.. Don't touch them.. Just stay alive.." Weiss shouted at Steele before clashing with another wolf. The beast caught a firm grip on his arm that did not last long as he stabbed and cut its throat out. The corpse dropped as his fist struck home caving in the side of a skull from the sheer momentum of his movement. The knife worked like wonders and his body darted this way and that working to evade as much as he could; it would prolong his life for one and secondly he should get used to being a dodgy lad no?

Grabbing the nearest body, Weiss rolled off to the left side as two of the beasts came in his direction. Jumping in unison he used the corpse for cover before popping up to stab at them both without fail. The knife zipped and flashed like magic. The air around seemed to grow tainted and the ground misted with blood as Weissman worked to pick up speed. "Just don't stop believing! Hold on to that feeling!!" Singing it out he drop kicked another beast while catching another one against his chest. Stabbing into its neck twice he cut down the throat before stabbing hard into the skull of another to stop it from dragging him by the foot. Mobility was key.

As the duo split up their work he'd lay waste into the large wolf. His might and rage his key to victory. His body bashing up against it each hit made to him returned with even more strength, his speed increasing as he kept up with the wolf; yet it felt almost the same. As Xavier let loose into striking down the wolf, the smaller ads dropping one by one. The larger one shifting focus only to be punished heavily for daring to leave Steele's gaze as he rammed his blade across its body time and time again; blood pouring as he growled some rolling upon his body as the wolf turned quick pouncing him onto his back as he appeared crushed beneath its weight his blade slashing up and across would gut the beast open before it collapsed. The mighty big bad wolf had been slain, yet in return, it appeared a few more ads had been summoned.

Shifting the dead weight off of himself, he'd rush to Xavier's aid; keeping to his promise and not touching them. Well in a physical sense as he only blocked and tried to maintain their aggro. Once all was said and done he'd grin pointing to them."So how did you like your first quest? They are quite fun huh. We get paid once we turn it in, but look at all this pelt, meat and teeth; They'll get a fair price. Probably pay for an inn as well as other things. He'd say as he began to help skin and remove the pelts of these creatures. His hand jerking as he attempted to break off and or remove some fangs. "So. Once this minor stuff is done we chop up the body, grab some meat and trade it with some merchants. What do you think Worth the extra work or nah?" he'd ask laughing as he continued the work a bit longer. HIs attention shifting to the male as he finished as he wiped his cleans hands clean in a puddle of water and a rag,

"So Xavier, now that the mission is complete you ready to turn it in or did you want to maybe explore that caved in area? The wolf escaped and made a fair sized hole we could enter to explore around. However, that means we'd need to leave some of this inventory stuff here cuz caves have rare stuff. We could always come back later and mark it on our map. The choice is yours." he'd say folding his arms and smiling waiting to hear the male's plan

Even with the additional beasts roaming about the area, Weissman did not stand down as the blood flowed through his veins like a hurricane. "The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed.. An bound her in her bones.. The seas be ours and by the powers.. Where we will we'll roam.." Singing an old favorite song of his, the man cut down the remaining Ad's before rushing in to help Steele finish off the giant beast. His blade quick and accurate as he stabbed opposite to where Steele slashed. This way the Alpha was surrounded on both sides once more. Unable to escape the vice grip that help it captive to its very doom. Yet death was upon its door step and with out delay both Steele and Weissman took one last plunge into the beast before it lay still upon the ground.

Pulling himself up and free the man listened to Steele with a broad smile upon his face. Drinking some water and taking in some of his food he had to restore some of his strength and quell the hunger in his belly. "I definitely enjoyed the clash no doubt. This reminds me of the war times when I was in the Military service. I kinda miss it now." Laughing lightly he skinned and pillaged the corpses for meat and pelts along with teeth to sell on the market. Moving over to the Alpha he took as many teeth as he could before gazing over at the giant cave before them. "In my experience a wolf den usually doesn't yield treasure but, the fact that this is a game might change that.. I say lets bundle it up and set some of these supplies aside then come back for them." Forgoing the option to turn in the quest he slowly bundled up some of the gathered materials. Setting them off to the side he rolled his shoulders back.

Moving towards the cave he patted the mans back lightly before jumping inside with ease. Watching his step he gazed around the dimly lit cave while waiting for Steele to join him on the inside. "I am curious what kinds of things do you think we will find within a Wolfs cave? I mean besides the bodies of stolen children or prey.. Perhaps some poor slain adventurers or even merchants?" As his imagination expanded Xavier pushed further inside. The aspect of treasure did not entirely interest him, but for the Orphans he had to try right?
