hiii may I send Leondra #007 to [quote]Slaying Quest Objective: Slay a Royal Ludroth[/quote] Can I also add 1 Bulwark and 1 Plated token on Leondra please??

you're all good! just wanted to make sure it didn't mistakenly have those bonuses for a battle when i didn't actually get the skill fair and square myself ~ thank you for the answer, as well! i look forward to stocking up some tokens for this new npc ::o
also, wow, that poor guy, didn't even get Pi down to half health xxp i'll have it use one of it's two remaining health potions for those scrapes, please!

aaaand one last question for now i promise, since i plan on taking it when i have the time; aside from what information the quest itself gives on the post, how much creative liberty do we have when doing social quests? because i do have my own ideas for how it would play out, but i didn't want to step on any toes before i even got there! (mostly it involves me also writing for the Arzuros, and i didn't want to give them a whole name and have them act any certain way if you wanted to handle that part yourself, yknow;;)

@Cacophony I've given our friend their Attack boost, and I'll drop you those things in your inventory once the CR is sent ^^ Onto the sponge!! [rule] [center][size=7][font=Times New Roman]!

@liminalspace Aside from the little bits of info on the paper, all creative liberties are yours! You can do whatever you like, as long as the objective is met! Go crazy [emoji=bogsneak laughing size=1] Also, I've given Pietersite one of the potions. Fella's all in tip-top shape! ^^ @WolfyKnutz You certainly may!! I'll add those skills to her loadout as well :D [rule] [center][size=7][font=Times New Roman]!

If the Ludroth woulda missed just once... and if she woulda gotten another crit... but alas >< so sorry!!

Yay! I'd love to put another point into Snaps Attack, please!

I'll also use a potion to heal him to full health.

For some quick shopping...

I'd like to craft Earth Queen's Cuffs again for Sakura when she's older (that's sort of morbid lol) I just realized I have the shell NOT the scales LOL. So I'd like to buy two scales and THEN craft Earth Queen's Cuffs!

I'd also like to buy Shimmersyrup x2 (20k/t)!

Thank you so much for the compliments on the art! If you'd like to use it for something I'd be happy to remove Snaps name and send you the file. Could be a fun banner or something:) let me know! Thanks again for all your hard work.

@Malzykins
Well... Clearly Himmel had gone to the right place. A brightly-colored Royal Ludroth was ripping up the beach, raging at nothing in particular as it smashed through anything the more civilized monsters had left. Although she didn't particularly understand the need for hourly grooming sessions (that was excessive, wasn't it?) it was easy to see that the feral monster was a danger to anyone on the beach, no matter why they were visiting.

She hangs her satchel from a scraggly tree and marches toward the Ludroth, adjusting her wristguards as she goes. It paid her approach no heed; it was too preoccupied shaking the sad remains of someone's picnic basket in its jaws. Its focus, however, meant that when it finally took its attention off of the basket there were already wicked claws gouging down its spine. The feral shrieks even more furiously than before at the pain, stamping down the sand in its attempts to turn and dislodge her. Himmel, however had no intention of being removed- she clings to its hide like a burr, ripping the wound slightly wider every time she has to tighten her grip. She could feel the extra claw on her right wristguard scrape against bone- the monster's spine, no doubt- but before she could use that knowledge its thick tail was swatting in her direction. Yanking her claws out of its spongy skin she leaps away into the sand and rolls to her feet, the heavy plates on the tail's end missing her by a hair.

Himmel turns to look back at the Ludroth and notices a steady drip of water from its mane. It swings its head to look at her, wild eyes narrowed- and its mane inflates to an alarming size before water blasts in all directions, leaving her only moments to shield her eyes. When she decides its safe to look she ponders the skidmarks in the sand from how the water had pushed her back; it had been surprising, sure, but for how far she had been moved the water had barely hurt at all. The opposing monster was as close to stunned as a feral could be, probably having expected the water to incapacitate her. But no, instead its mane was deflated and it had lost its last defense against her. It was too bulky to hit her in other ways, moving slow and clumsy on the shifting beach sand. Himmel stalked forward, curving her scythe-like tail overhead menacingly. The beach party was over.

...

The Ludroth was slain and her retrieved satchel stuffed with more trophies of battle, Himmel preparing to make the long journey 'home' to the Peacelands. Having a place to return to was.. kind of nice to think about.

"Ah! There you are! You got rid of that horrible creature, didn't you?" Himmel turns towards the approaching monster, a Mizutsune- probably the one who had sent out the quest. They reach out to take her hand but recoil in disgust at the state of her claws, covered in sand and gore from the slain feral. "Um.. Thank you so much for your grim- I mean GREAT work! Much appreciated." Himmel raises a brow at the slip up, wiggling her dirtied claws and resisting the urge to laugh at the Mizutsune's failed attempt to hide their horror. The frivolent monster reaches into a stylish bag and pulls out one of the shining tokens Himmel has come to recognize, dropping it into her palm without any contact at all. "Take care on the way home, and maybe consider stopping somewhere for a pedicure. Your hands and forearms are looking a little... ah... abnormal."

The Great Izuchi blinks slowly. Her... forearms? What was wrong with- oh. "My forearms are fine, but I appreciate the suggestion." She reaches for the straps of a sand-caked wristguard, undoing them and pulling it off to reveal almost entirely clean fur underneath. She should really clean these when she gets home. The Mizutsune stammers something about layers of skin and passes clean away, thudding to the ground. Himmel slides her wristguard back on and laughs quietly, no longer resisting now that the subject of her humor is unaware- that monster will throw an absolute fit when they wake up and find sand in their fur.

Oooo, good thing I held onto two of those Bulwark I tokens then! The NPC may not be released yet nor may my kids have the ability to use them, but that's something I can plan for now that I know!

My mistake sending the CR late, should be there now! woops x'D

@malzykins



It certainly isn’t hard to spot the creature causing such a stir and ruining the days of many, not just the Mizutsune who caused such an outcry for attention, and Dox has left their newest friend somewhere safe and warm instead of carrying them along for this mission. Not like they’d be much more than dead weight in their shell, after all, and they’d probably be as effective in a fight as they were at conversation.


Unless, of course, used as a projectile… Wait, no, bad Dox, don’t even think about throwing the babies – thank the stars that one egg was snuggled in blankets and furs and far away from an Izuchi and their ‘bright ideas’.

Though they can’t help but raise their voice in a truly obscene screech that’s enough to draw even a feral Royal Ludroth’s attention to that cackling snout, deciding to add insult before injury on this particular day. ”Hey, soggy face, over here!” Perhaps the tone used is more damning than an arguably lackluster insult, if the way one Ludroth charges is any indication, and rather than opting to dodge, Dox lunges forward to meet them head-on for once, confident in both the relatively smaller size of this Ludroth and its lack of battle scars that it hasn’t seen many fights in its day.

An observation that’s thankfully astute, even if it’s based in bravado as per the usual – for every time they trade blows, Dox seems to land truer and deeper, claws and a pummeling tail only leaving shallower swipes and glancing blows to an Izuchi as reliant as ever on being a slippery little creature. Before long, a Ludroth is still and trophies are able to be collected… Dox wonders if their newfound friend will like it! Even if they won’t say so just yet…

((i’d like to equip the sure shot skill token in place of their bulwark skill for now, if that’s okay and also use a health potion on them! they’ll be off to slay a nargacuga tomorrow as well if that’s okay, thank you again! ))

Aww man..welp Leondra did her best so its ok!! she'll have a really good break until she can get back on fighting
