What's your favorite Grass type Pokémon?
Since my Silver Randlocke, the Bulbasaur line has really grown on me. :U |

Zarik and Zissou both grab an apple and some of the bread each and finally take a seat on the ground next to the picnic arrangement.
"Thanks, Bel, but I'll take my chicken plain." Zarik says as he tosses his apple to the Bettergreg, whom snatches it out of the air expertly and chirps in delight. Handing his apple to the larger red bird, Zissou politely declines, "As shall I. Spices and my stomach are not on good terms." Taking a bit out of his loaf of bread, he comments, "The bread is delightful though." Zarik's ears twitch anxiously as he sits quietly and eats. |

Absentmindedly sipping from his canteen, Zarik narrows his eyes and says, "That's one of the things bugging me." Pinning his ears back in an attempt to stop their twitching, he goes on, "I can already tell you that it's not a normal staff. Though I have reason to doubt that it's something someone lost."
"Whatever do you mean?" Zissou asks with a mouthful of bread. "Not long ago, the archaeologists in Idyllshire sent a bunch of adventurers into the library looking for a book." Zarik responds, "Maybe the book mentioned a powerful staff and word spread. Now every bastard looking to score some quick coin is after it. It's not unheard of in these parts." "Ah," Zissou says with a nod and an empty mouth, "You're concerned about being roped into the unsavory group of greedy ones?" "Not at all. I don't care if some jackoff thinks I'm greedy." Zarik says with a noticeable gruffness, "The book was protected by a pretty nasty librarian. Who knows what would be protecting this staff. Something I almost don't want to find out!" "Aye," the old man replies solemnly, "And I can understand your concern if Arendal is inside. While he is strong, he has been known to report to duties under-prepared." |

Zarik stands and takes an urn or water. Filling his canteen, he slings it over his shoulder and sets the urn back on the blanket. Giving the chocobos a whistle of dismissal, the bird start flapping their wings and fly off.
Zissou picks up the placed urn and finishes the water left inside. Wiping his mouth clean, he says, "I do believe I am ready to embark." Opening his book and focusing yet again, he calls upon the aid of his faerie pet once more. She is noticeably different this time. Instead of being yellow and green, she is yellow and pink. "Surely Selene will help us properly." Zarik nods and grunts. Steeling his nerves, he draws his weapon and clasps his hands around his sword's hilt. with another reserved grunt, his sword and shield glow intensely for a moment with a metallic singing --Shield Oath--. He takes a ready stance with a spinning flourish of his blade. "It's now or never. Let's go." He says as he walks to the library door and shoves it open dramatically. |

A screen grab I took of my Paladin, Zarik, before doing his crafting quests. No rhyme or reason to it. I just think he looks badass. Too bad he's not level 60 yet, or I'd have equipped the sword and shield I want to finish his glamour.
I may not be able to equip it, but the "Try On" feature doesn't care. 
EDIT: Figured since I was showing off Zarik, May as well show off Aren too.  |

What would you name a monster truck?
Crash'n'Smash. I dunno. I'm bad at naming things. What about Flying type Pokémon? It's my favorite type as a whole. If I ever ran/was a part of a league on Showdown or something, I'd be the Flying ace. |

"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Zarik snarks, "The aforementioned librarian was an owl."
Zissou snickers and follows Zarik though the door. Inside the doorway of the library, it immediately opens into a lobby with bookshelves lining every wall with a desk situated on the southern wall. There is a red, sinister haze all around. The laughing of demons and imps can be heard through the cavernous house of literature. Despite the sheer amount of books, the acoustics are hollow and echoey. Waiting for the others to follow him in, Zarik says, "Something's definitely up in here. I don't know what exactly to expect, so stay on your guard." Locking gaze with Moxley, he cautions, "We are two paladins, and we have two squishy mages. I'll cover Zissou, you cover Bel. I am dead serious. We can't afford to let anything happen." (OoC: I'm of the school of "If it is reasonable that a person would have it, it doesn't need strict accounting for." As long as you're not going crazy with it, I'm going to assume everyone has exactly what they need.) |

Do you want to run through the halls of your high school, screaming at the top of your lungs?
I'd settle for being able to run. The best I can do is a staggering limp. |

It's not like this is a meatspace meetup. Everyone is just text on custom backdrops as far as I'm concerned. |

"Nah, a detection of magic in here would basically blind you from how bright it'd get. Just about everything in here has magical energy on it." Zarik says, "Even someone as magically inept as me can feel this place is uncomfortably magical."
The room goes dark from Moxley's perspective. A few books on numerous shelves glow and denote evil energy. Aside from that, the lobby shows no signs. The door on the opposite end of the lobby, however, is bright as if staring into the sun on a clear day. Zissou's hair stands on end as if he's able to see what Moxley can see with his detection spell, "I do not like the feeling coming from the main hall. This bodes ill." "Whether you guys like it or not, we have to go in there," Zarik states, "Steel your nerves, all. This is gonna be a bumpy ride." (OoC: Some ambience just try to imagine it with a bit more of a sinister tone (and this version of the song is noteably heavier than Normal mode.)) |

Posted by Robbie RagePosted by Trelior Hey, don't forget the Togekiss! My backdrop is actually a thing I did up for the end of my Platinum Nuzlocke. May the gods have mercy on Finnegan's soul (Vaporeon, had him the whole run. Died against Not-Cynthia rematch's Milotic). |

Walking out through the door reveals a drop off into a vast column of bookshelves lining the entirety of the large cylindrical room. There is a circular platform in the center of the room, suspended in the air. Upon it are books strewn haphazardly with three winged demons and two ink wells with wings.
Stepping out in front of Moxley, Zarik steps on a switch near the edge of the lookout they are standing on. From beneath where the paladins are standing, a glowing blue pathway juts out then falls neatly into a magicked stairwell that leads down to the platform with the monsters. Another similar staircase also appears on the northeastern edge of the platform as well that leads to a similar doorway. Running down the stairs, he pumps out his arms which causes the shield glow from earlier to happen --Rampart--, as well as flourishing his blade and causing his blade to flash --Fight or Flight--, he hurls his shield at the demon front and center to grab its attention. With a flick of his wrist, a burst of light blasts forth --Flash--, catching the rest of the monsters attention and angering them into attacking him. Hot on Zarik's Heels, with Selene folowing closely, Zissou folows to about halfway down the stairs before stopping. Holding his open open book out in front of his body, he begins chanting for a moment. "Go forth with strength, my friend. May my shield strengthen yours! Adloquium!" then snapping the book shut. Suddenly, the soft light from before surrounds Zarik as it did against the malboro. |

The demon Moxley slashes shrieks in pain, but is too angry at Zarik to turn its attention away. It swipes angrily at the Miqo'te, but nothing happens due to the shield granted by Zissou's spell.
The hail makes quick work of the sentient ink wells, breaking their fragile bodies and making them drop harmlessly to the floor. Emboldened by Moxley's aura, Zarik jumps into the air then drives his sword into the floor as hard as he can --Circle of Scorn--. The force of impact causes pillars of light to spring from the ground in the meter of so surrounding him. The pillars of light do nothing to Moxley, but pierce through the demons causing them to begin bleeding. The first demon is dispatched by this attack. Zissou holds his book his book aloft in his left hand while making a somatic gesture over it with his right. He calls out, By the arcane rites, I smite thee, Ruination!" and he points to a second demon and blasts it with a bolt of unaspected aether. The blast causes it the intended harm, but it still strikes out at Zarik, again, doing no damage to him, but the light fades. The remaining demon to act looses a flash of dark energy, causing minor damages to both paladins. Selene glows with a yellow light then emits an energy that envelops the party, allowing them to act slightly faster --Fey Wind-- |

Zarik and Moxley do, indeed, finish off the remaining two demons.
"Aye," Zissou nods, "Such a waste that these books must be destroyed. Naught can be done about it, however." Zarik wastes no time after the final demon falls to take off running up the northwestern staircase. "C'mon! Let's go. No time for mourning a few books!" Reaching the landing and running through the door into a room that is very similar to the last. Stepping on a switch, the stairs go upward to the platform. This second platform is home to a horned quadrupedal demon with wings and a long, prehensile tail, it is also accompanied by an ink well as well as a sentient quill pen. Zarik repeats his use of --Fight or Flight-- and --Rampart-- but instead of throwing his shield, he thrusts his sword into the beast's shoulder, give it a twist, then rips the blade back out witha burst of light--Spirits Within--. This attack mere pains the monster and angers it. Using this to his advantage, he moves around the edge of the platform, bringing the foe's facing toward him. Zissou runs up the staircase and takes a flying leap over the demon and goes to cast another spell. Snapping his book shut with a chant, "Set forth with the flames of the seven hells, burn! --Shadow Flare!--" The air around the monster ignites with a burst that begins immolating it, and only it over time. "Be wary of the Bibliolater's tail!" He warns. Selene charges as well and a burst of light surrounds Zarik and heals any wounds from the last battle caused after the shield fell. --Embrace-- |

Maybe it gets confused if you edit, then try to post in the same thread because it updates the "Most recent post" status. Only thing I can think. |

The Bibliolater slaps Moxley out of the air deftly with its tail and hisses at him. The ink well is shattered by the telekinetic force, while the quill swipes at Zarik unabated.
"Does that answer your question?" Zarik snaps as he slams his shield into the monster's face and takes a swing at the quill with his sword. Zissou quickly runs over to Moxley's side to help him up off the floor, "You mustn't be so hasty, ser." Selene once again uses Embrace, but targets the wounded Moxley instead of Zarik. |

The quill takes a direct hit from one of the firebolts and immolates to ash within seconds. The Bibliolate bites at Zarik angrily as the shadow flare circle disappears and stops doing its continuous damage.
Selene looks at the mountain of a man incredulously, rightfully baffled by whatever it is that he might be planning due to her obvious diminutive stature. "Whatever you're planning is all fine and good, guys, but why don't you just focus on hurting the fucking thing and ignoring its godsdamned tail!" Zarik cries, exasperated, while slamming the beast in the face with the hilt of his sword, narrowly avoiding getting munched upon. "Aye. We need to focus more on outright killing the monster moreso than just disabling an appendage." Zissou says, with a snap of his wrist of his book wielding hand which causes a green and purple cloud of smog to appear on the foe's face --Bio--. Following with a swipe of his hand to charge another spell then bracing the book as he shoves it forward with a somatic gesture, another, larger, cloud appears around the adversary --Bio II>--. Both clouds of smoke begin chipping away at the beast with poison over time. |
