...Welcome to "The World."
>>
You check the description of the "Soul Items" and you see that all it says beneath them respectively...

"Soul of Goblin"
-The Soul of a Goblin.

"Soul of Ya Murderer"
-The Soul of a Ya Murderer.


Wow... that's really... descriptive...

"Hey 1/2."

"Hm? What is it?"

"I've get some weird items on me... I'll open trade, take a look."

{Trade Opened}

"Hmm, Oh, you got that PK's Broadsword and a Scroll of Life! that's pretty good! You should use that Scroll on yourself to learn Repth. In R:2, and especially as an AR, you can learn magic as well. Should see about some spells, huh?"

Wait a second... she doesn't see them?
>>
You think to yourself about how you should pass this onto her.. but more, it could just be another part of the game right? But then... Why wouldn't she see them?

“1/2, do you have a forum address or something? Can I mail you a screenshot?”

“Oh, yeah, sure, of course! You can use my member address for it, though on the forum, I'm Mayako.”

You open up another tab in your other lens of the the M2D, screen-capping your item screen and sending it through your account mail.

“By the way, do you know anything about a weapon that says it's “Bound?”

“Bound? That seems... really odd.. I haven't known any weapons to be bound, I know some more friendly players trade their old gear to lower levels. I haven't heard of anything that says that it's bound or anything... Is that the case for your sword?”

“Well, first, check your mail, do you see those items?”

“Hold on... Oh, what the heck? That's really... uhh.. that's weird.. I've never seen an item like that... Maybe you have a bug or something like I thought? Or maybe it's a really rare item..”

You decide to take out "Soul Of a Goblin" and opt to use it. The soul rapidly gets absorbed into Mournful Muramasa and the sword slowly shifts color to a deadly looking green for the blade, and the back of it takes one an electric yellow.

{ Mournful Muramasa(lv1) morphed into Naga Muramasa(lv2)! }

Naga Muramasa lv2
-Poison Attack

You read the item screen and frown a bit... It changed its stat attacks?
Wait a second... it lost sleep attack!

((Sorry that took a bit, brainstorming, and have people talking in my earssss)

>>23673255
HO-LEE SHIET it's an evolving weapon. This is amazing.

Show it to 1/2. Or she probably saw this happen. Ask her what she thinks.

Explain what we did. Say we had got item known as Soul of Goblin (or whatever it was called) and had used it on our sword.

Wonder what we have to kill get sleep back.

>>23673279
"I know, it's nothing like any of the weapons I used back in R:1. This will be a great weapon if it absorbs power from those who have been slain." Play up the samurai fighting honor a little bit like that.

Then >[X] Other
Mix Using Soul of Ya Murderer and then go to another field. We spent probably ten minutes in the other one, maybe half an hour.

Tell her we used a special item called Goblin Soul, and that it changed. But then, also mention that it's getting late and we need to log out, and get some shut eye.

Your expression: is one of cat like disapproval. We just lost sleep effect on this weapon.

[X]other: tell her what happened, then:
We've determined that the weapon soul morphs, and I doubt we're gonna be getting rid of it soon. If word gets out about this, we could lose the PK soul by admin dickery/intervention. Fortune favors the bold, i say we use it and pray for better status effects.

Poison tends to be pretty fucking terrible, I don't see how it could get "worse"- other than it potentially causing the weapon to outlevel us for a brief period.

>>23673629
sell some crap at the shopkeep and get a backup "common" sword as a contingency? Ya'll haven't shown so much restraint and caution before this point...
>>
You express an almost cat-like disapproval as you realize theat the weapon lost the "Sleep Attack" effect... That had likely been the saving grace in your last fight... To lose it is definitely worrisome, however you still have another soul that you might be able to use on it...

You decide to hold off on it until you get more souls, that was a hard earned one and it may mess up the effect worse, possibly removing the status effect.

You look to 1/2 and realize that you have some explaining to do," Oh, um.. I just used an item and it changed... Is that weird?"

1/2 pounds a fist on her other palm," Ah, that must be a modification item, but it's like, really weird how it did that, whatever, it's cool."

Something sparks your attention, this item, it's strange... "Don't tell anyone ok?"

1/2 smiles," Ohh, I won't, heh. I know the admins might do something if they catch wind of this, there's some things in the game that not even they know about, just keep it kinda hush, hush, hm?"

You trust 1/2.

You use the scroll of life on yourself

{You learned Repth!}

And with that you go over to the Shopkeeper!

"Heyyy Traveler, you got money this time?!"

With a curt bow," Yes, Yes I do."

The shopkeeper opens up his wares on his counter....
>>
>>23673689
BUY HEALING POTIONS.

"More like oh shit I'm corrupted now and have this strange hunger in game."

"Ahh crap 1/2 my HP keeps draining and I have this weird status ailment called hunger."

"Hey 1/2 I found out why my HP was draining. I needed to kill a player. Ohh and look there it is again, I'm sorry it has to be this way but atleast we can always be together now foREVER AND EVER!

With that money spent you ask 1/2 where the armor shop is, and she gives you bit of a frown," Normally you'd go to the weapon and armor shop at about lv 5. You're not going to find much new around there that you can equip right now... If you want I can show you.. but we've got healing items now, we can go back out into the field if you want, I kind of want to finish Sacred Superior Venom Fang... That place was cool as hell!"

1/2 seems to space out for a moment," Oh! and if you want, I can call my Dark Falls, he's back online now.. but that's only if you want him to come."

Always gotta have that third party member. But we should go to the armor shop first, and then back to the field. It is dishonorable for a samurai to back out from something he has said he shall do! Plus, the PKers will probably not be there after getting so violently served last time.

we could use some help, just in case some other asshole decides to piss on our parade. Also, depending on how long we've been at this- we may want to chug a red bull or log after this area.

You chuckle a bit,"My Most honorable companion, if you find his company wanted, you may invite... The Dark One..." You smile to yourself, and bow to her. Also, the edgy SoB should like being called that...

"Alright, alright, Mr Samurai, heh... I'll send Dark Falls a shortmail..."

{Dark Falls has joined the party!}

You look around expectantly, only to realize that you don't see the edgy Flick Reaper.

"Whe-"

A shadow drops down behind you, laughing," I see... that you have called... DARK FALLS, LORD OF DESPAIR!" The dark dude laughs maniacly before quickly shutting up.

"I'm, uh... glad that you two invited me..." He scratches his head... Well, he might not be such a bad guy...

"Where are we going?"Dark Falls asks.

1/2 puts a fist to her chest," We're going to a boss area that we stomped some pkers in!"

Dark drops his jaw," Daaamn, you actually pkked?! We were getting damn near hunted before! How'd that happen?!"

1/2 points at you," This guy here!"

Dark Falls laughs," Oh, oh shit! I though you were definitely a noob before, that's sick man!"

You simply nod, a slight smug smirk. You like the recognition...

You find yourselves back at the entrance to the massive snake cavern. The purple-flamed braziers at the entrance still burning mystically.


The thick forest behind the three of you seems dense and more oppressive than before. Thick fog in the area obscures your view further than 30 feet outside of the cave.

Dark Falls looks around," Man, this place is sick... I would like totally want CC corp to make this my guild field if I had a big enough guild... I could run one of course, I just don't really want to..."

Encounter is an encounter, how about we set it that 51+ is player, and higher makes them stronger.

While 50- is monster, and lower number makes them stronger?

You and 1/2 get the drop on a trio of snake-goblins like the ones from your first encounter in the area.

You dash in with a quick draw of Muramasa and slash the middle goblin, knocking it back into the rapidly forming barrier.

1/2 follows up with you by unleashing an art from the get-go," Gale blade!" She calls out as she strikes the goblin on the left, knocking it to the ground on the third strike.

Paying attention this time, you block the attack of the right goblin as it flanks and give it a few quick slices to drive it back.

Goblin A: Injured/Downed
Goblin B: injured/ Downed
Goblin C: injured

Dark Falls joins into the barrier a little late but he pulls out his scythe," The party's just started!" His scythe starts to hum with a chainsaw in the blade.

With a kai, you bring your sword down on goblin C, tearing into the wretched thing and forcing it back, away from the other gobs.

1/2 continues to lay into the goblin A, forcing it back as Goblin B recovers and leaps in for an attack. 1/2 sees this and leaps back as Dark Falls comes in, to flick the both of them away casually, knocking them further into the barrier.

You strike the goblin before you once more and it drops, its soul slipping into your blade, emitting a small flash.

You hear Dark Falls call out," Wicked Strike!" As he spins his scythe, destroying the two goblins that were pinned against the barrier.

All three goblins are dead.

Yes, it read 'Down into the sky of despair, or up into the pit of snakes.' before. How... confusing. I propose we go up to keep to our intended location. What say the two of you?"

1/2 nods," I agree, better to get done what we've already started, hm?"

"Sky of Despair huh, sounds like the kind of sky that rains in my soul..."

"Yes, yes... we will be purging that despair soon enough."

The party advances to the up path, for the Sky of Despair!

Along the way, you poke a bit of humorous praise at Dark Falls.

"Friend of my most honorable companion... You sure came in at the right moment. Almost a surprise that you know how to fight so well. Heh, after all, the Scythe is a very difficult weapon..."

You were tactful enough or he's dense enough to have missed the insult there," Well, I do practice a lot with the scythe, in game and in real life. My friends call me the harvest reaper because of the souls I harvest."

1/2 rolls her eyes," Man, as if! You calm the heck down already... No one wants to hear about your death god-ness. Haven't you read the game's lore anyway? The gods were killed by the humans. Want that to happen to you too?"

"Pfft, as if! I'm gonna be the best Flick Reaper in the game! I'm gonna be a hardcore boss like that Japanes Adept Rogue, The Terror of Death!"

"In your dreams, that guy was something else! Not many adept rogues even get that strong, most decide to fuck off and just quit when they see that their characters are so wea-" 1/2 stops her little rant and holds her hands together," Umm, hope you don't take any offense to it, AR's just don't really get all that powerful..."

"Hey, no worries. Since this is my first character, I decided I'd just go for what seemed the most fun. Besides, that's what this is all for, right? :)" Drop the act on this line, since it directly crosses the line of roleplaying/metagaming.

None taken.

Adept Rogues might not have as much raw power as the pure classes, this is true. But flexibility we have in spades, and that's always a valuable asset to have.

"My lady... I am insulted." You stopwalking with them suddenly and slowly draw Muramasa,"I must insist.... on a duel... For my honor!"

1/2 looks at you wide-eyed, this actually gives her pause," Hey, umm.. I didn't mean it... really, I didn't..

You decide to stop playing with the girl. Smiling amicably, you sheath your sword and bow before walking with them again.

"Really, no worries. Since this is my first character, I decided I'd just go for what seemed the most fun. That's what this is all for, right? :)

"Well, that's always a good goal... I'll help you with it a bit if you want. It's kinda neat playing with a roleplayer like you... Lots of people are preoccupied what-with the guild wars going on nowadays..."

"Guild Wars?" You ask, intrigued.

Dark Falls answers," Lately a lot of the huge preppy guilds have decided to warr against each other. The admins for servers are helping out with warzones and everything but so many people are involved, there aren't really many back in town or in other fields..."

1/2 continues as Dark Falls drops off," Many of the PKs that have ben in dungeons are the 'war vets' that are looking to regain lost levels. Winning and capturing fields gives conquest and massive item and expo, but like in real warr, the losers are rife with vandals and mercs...

Dark Falls smiles," I think that our friend here might be interested in it, eh?"

"It is an interesting concept. But I do not think I'm quite yet ready to bow my head to some condescending guild leader. Especially one who would condone vultures preying on the innocent.

The party end up in the same kind of area as before, known as “The Sky of Despair” for this area.... The fog actually happens to be thicker than before, and the rain coming from the faux' clouds seems a bit heavier this time, water running briskly down the direction the party's come from.

“The tears of the dark ones cry out to me, I must kill off their despair!” Dark Falls draws his scythe in an epic motion with the finish of that soliloquy … Gotta hand it to the guy, he has a flash for the dramatics...

The thick fog prevents you from seeing very far ahead...

You draw Muramasa and engage the giant serpent of malevolence with your so far only, and favorite skill... "Sword Flash!" You call out as you meet the jaws of the serpent, you strike its right eye, following around to the other, to blind the thing.

Your final hit is blocked by the snake however and it withdraws from you to whip a barbed tail at Dark Falls as he comes up behind it...

Seems that this thing doesn't need eyes to counterattack..

1/2 throws a spell," Vak Don!" and Fireballs come from above, pelting the thing as it writhes around to dodge a portion of them, yet gets hit by one, and all the rest following.

With the thing pummelled by fireballs,maintain proximity and begin to strike to across the face, the tail, the thing may not need eyes to dodge and counter, however its progress has been greatly slowed.

Your assault is joined by 1/2 and as the two of you beat the large thing into the barrier.

Dark Falls, having recovered leaps in and gives the thing a good flick, smashing it against the wall as it takes on a weird color.

You charge in with your reliable art, "Sword Flash" against the stunned target, you don't know what that Purple thing around it, but your allies told you to jump in on it for the finishing blow, so why not?

The snakes writhes in agony as it's hardly able to move and as you call out your Art, you hear 1/2 call out," Rengeki!"

The screen flashes before you with "COMBO HIT!"

The three strikes of your sword flash occur so quickly that it lives up to its name, you finish the blows behind the snake and it begins to slide apart in pieces as it fades away. The soul slips into your sword.

The barrier dissipates

1/2 and Dark Falls refrain from healing as they don't consider themselves in the danger zone as of yet.

As the group travels slowly through the dense fog, non of you can really see that's ahead of you.

Dark Falls begins to seem a bit irritated," This is starting to piss me off... Fog is like, really cool and all... But I don't want to have to deal with another ambush..."

1/2 raises an eyebrow at Dark Falls, you stand looking a bit curious while she says," And what do you plan to do about it, huh?"

Dark Falls regards her and simply smirks from his armored black robes, he pulls out his scythe and simply says, "You'll see.."

Pulling back his weapon, he jumps and brings it around in a wide arc, picking up the fog and scattering it with the pressure. He lands pretty gracefully and begins to charge up a spell, "Zan Rom!"

He forces more of the fog out of the way with a conjured whirlwind, the visibility improving greatly (DC dropped to 40)

You give Dark Falls a swift and single clap," That was magnificent my friend, we can now see our enemies in the mist!"

And regarding that, you see the blue field come up as the whirlwind nailed a monster.

{Battle Start!}

A Three headed snake has been blown back by Dark Falls' harsh wind, however it doesn't seem all that damaged, hell, it's not like Flick Reapers are Shadow Warlocks...

The party coordinates to strike the tri-hydra!

You and 1/2 engage the beast with swift and powerful cuts to its main body, forcing it back, Dark Falls jumps in with his Aerial spin to flick the thing against the Barrier, further keeping it Off-beat.

1/2 drives in with her Art, Gale Blade just as the thing crashes off of the wall, her sweeping blades knock the thing silly before forcing it back slightly, the thing refuses to get laid into the ground.

The assault has left it unable to fully recover, yet it hasn't gone down quite like the other snake.

One of the heads snaps at you as you go in for your turn in the assault, you manage to block, but the thing seems to have gotten fairly pissed off as its white scales flush red.

It took quite the beating, however it's not rady to go down yet!

You charge in along the sword, giving a backwards stroke to one of the side heads, you see a purple flame cling to the bruise inflicted on the thing. The attack elicits a quick snap in response as you back off to make it turn its back on the others, drawing it towards you.

Your ploy succeeds as 1/2 and Dark Falls circle around, however you undermined the things speed, all three heads begin an assault on you. The one on the right that you had struck whips itself like a whip for a crushing blow as the left head comes around to catch you on the back end with a bit to your torso, picking you up, the snake goes in with another bite from the middle head.

Dark Falls comes from behind with a leap and vertical spinning slash. laying a deep wound into all three heads , causing the left one to drop you.

Health at 4/8th.

1/2 strikes the thing in the tail as well, unleashing a flurry to distract it and make it turn its back on you.

It looks quite injured, and weakening from poison.

You step in to attack the thing while it's wrapped up by your Allies.

Dark Falls lands beside you after his aerial spin and turns to cleave it with a spin opposite of you, his hit lands, tearing out a chunk of flesh, causing the thing to recoil in pain.

You decide to make a stab for the thing, finding that it may complicate the situation if you cut off the heads..

You skillfully deliver persistent stabs to the weakened monster as it's too sluggish to make a proper counterattack. The party's assault yields that same purple haze as before and this time Dark Falls takes advantage of it," Wicked Strike!"

With a spin, he cleaves into the body, spinning his scythe one way, coming back around for a second hit and then performing a vertical spin for the third.

The monster falls.

Can Dark Falls (ugh) clear out some of that remaining mist without scaring away the animal? It'll run all over the place, and the last thing we want to do is run into a group of PKs while we're chasing it down.

Kicking a poor defenseless animal? You bow your head in disapproval," A samurai does not attack innocent creatures.."

1/2 pouts," Ohhh come on now! it's fine, it's fine! it'll give us treasure for catching it!"

"If my most honorable companion wishes to do this deed, I cannot stop her. Alas, I say we carry onward!" You begin forward while 1/2 pesters Dark Falls.

"Hey, hey, can you do that mist thing again to get rid of more fog? That thing's gonna run everywhere you know!"

Dark Falls flips his hair," If... If you insist... Though, if you snuck up on it, you could surprise it. Clearing the mist would likely alert it."

1/2 seems to have steam coming out of her ears as she thinks hard about what to do," Blahhh, I'll sneak up on it then!"

You wait for them by the entryway to the next part, you see blue braziers at the end of the tunnel.

Do you wait?

From the mist, comes the sounds of tanned leather smacking into a leather-clad behind. A round projectile barrels out of the mist, squealing loudly as it is whizzes past you.

"What in the..."

1/2 jumps happily over to you as Dark Falls follows behind her.

"I did it, I did it! I kicked it! Ohhh boy did I smash that thing! Where did it go?"

You look past you and see the animal stuck in the wall of the cave, its head buried in the rock...

"Whoopsie, guess I overdid it." 1/2 giggles with embarrassment as Dark Falls laughs at the ridiculous sight.

The animal wriggles itself out of the wall, and squirms over to the part, a black-faced worm with a small leaf-cape.

"Ello-hay! y-may ame-nay is Ateworm-Fay! Ou-yay icked-kay e-may oo-tay ard-hay!
Eave-may alone!"

It wiggles a glowing tail and disappears.

{The party Acquired 2000 gp!}

The party dashes onward to the distant beast statue!

Dark Falls looks over to the two of you, a bit skeptical," Hey, those monsters aside, doesn't this seem a bit too easy?"

1/2 glances over to him," What do you mean?
Those snakes were crazy, I mean, if we didn't work together like we did, we'd be worse for the wear!"

You incline your head," It's too soon to be speaking of victory, my companions..."

You notice from the corner of your eye, a great blade coming down on you from the right.

You and Dark Falls dodge the heavy blade that threatened to destroy the two of you. Water splashes up from the impact and you see that the culprit is the Ya Panda from before, appearing just as crazed as before.

"You... I'm going to crush you runts this time!"
He roars and swings his blade around, forcing you and Dark Falls further apart. The Panda before you, 1/2 and then Dark Falls to your left.

Narrowing your eyes fiercely with a cat-like hiss," You..."

A happy voice calls out," Me! Vak Don!" A meteor swarm comes down!

You and 1/2 dodge out of way of the meteor swarm, Dark Falls begins to spin his scythe to deflect the assault, preferring to stand his ground.

In the middle of your dodge, the Edge Panda brings his crushing blade around, that you narrowly duck under, though 1/2 gets caught by the smash and sent flying into Dark Falls, the two of them crashing into the Barrier.

"Shit! He's good!" Dark Falls complains as he just begins to Recover.

You're in close proximity to the Panda, though his eyes are locked on your injured party members.

1/2 is at 4/8th
Dark Falls is at 4/8th
Status of both: Briefly stunned.

You see that the Red Panda is some distance behind the Edge Panda, sitting on top of a rock with her tail, looking pretty content as she waits for her cooldown..

Quick Action!

You use Soul Of The Ya Murderer!

Muramasa seems to greedily drink in the soul as it takes on a new appearance. The blade lengthens and gains an edge like serrated teeth, turning red with a deadly looking white glow.

Naga Muramasa(Lv2) morphed into Fang Muramasa(Lv3)!

+4 to attack rolls!
-100% critical to back attacks!
- Paralysis attack!

Your display as drawn the attention of the Red Panda," Lorelai! He changed weapons!"

The Edge panda turns to you as you charge at him, swinging your blade in from the side, he reacts to quickly for you however.

Turning his blade in guard to block Muramasa, he spits," Like I'd ignore a playful kitty!" He forces you back while simultaneously dealing a crushing upward blow. You managed to block some of the strike, though not all based on the weight of his blade.
Hp 6/8th

Your companions are back in action and 1/2 and Dark Falls make a charge for the healer, intending to tie her up, but the edge panda swings her blade around and cuts them off, Catching the both of them with their guard up and leaving them back at least standing this time.

With a taunting gesture of "come forth" the Edge Panda smiles with his crazed eyes. They picked a good spot here, the Red panda is positioned on a rock at least a the height of the Edge panda, which is blocking off our entire party.

>>23683490

The attack is like to reposition or knock up the Edge panda, so it is feasible if you'd like that to be the character's next move. Thought that'll put you between the Edge Panda and Red Panda.

Do crits activate status effects or would it still have to be rolled for? If they do, then yes I would like to suggest that as our next move after using the waterfall.

With the predicamend as it is, you back off a bit while your allies form a perimeter around the front of the Edge Panda.

Laughing Maniacally," Aww, come on, you soiling yourselves? Caught us off guard last time, but Molly's roast is out of the Oven!"

The Red Panda smiles in a very pleased fashion from where she sits," Yep! Zan Rom!" She calles out with a wave of her staff as harsh winds pick up around you.

You manage to dodge out of the way, and Dark Falls charges forward swinging his scythe upward only to be met with the crushing blade of the Panda, sending him back once more.

"Think you're tough, goth-boy?! Let's see you tangle with this!"
The panda presses Dark Falls back and pulls out a scroll, fireballs originating above the Flick Reaper, forcing him to dodge further backwards. As the scroll burns itself, 1/2 darts in for an attack, striking the exposed ankles of the Edge Panda, causing him some discomfort, she darts past and runs towards the Red panda an the rock.

With the opening, you pull out your own item and cast Waterfall on the Edge Panda, causing a geyser originating from underneath him to explode upward. He seems to take some damage, however your attack has provoked his wrath, charging at you with his colossal blade ready to wipe out the rest of your life...

You step into the attack of the Panda, He actually appears surprised that you did not choose to defend yourself instead, He slide your now serrated blade through the joint of his right arm as it holds the sword fully above his head, forcing him to stop the assault as you carry yours out. With feline grace, you slip around to the Ya's back and hack at the already injured ankle, eliciting a surprisingly deep wound with a static spark.

The Ya, finding that he can't move is victim to your assault, as you unleash a merciless flurry of strikes to his back, doing away with him, this time, the Edge Panda goes down first...

At the rock, despite 1/2's agility, she finds herself unable to lay a hit on the nimble little Tu tribe cleric. They dance around the rock and the Red Panda jumps off into the fray," Ah, so Lorelai went down! We've had some bad luck lately, huh?"

Landing between your three party members, she smiles," Guess I can't just give up, right?"

You and Dark Falls go in for an attack as 1/2 follows up, the cleric dashes through an open spot between you and 1/2, slipping through as 1/2 stumbles on wet stones to change position, your own footing none the better as you readjust yourself in a ready stance facing the fleeting mage.

From your stance, you relax and call to the flighty cleric," If it is your wish..." You artfully sheathe your blade,"You may leave. Perhaps... We could be friends, or better, rivals?"

1/2 gets up and looks at you with a raised eyebrow, she slips again, falling on her behind before giving up," Hey, I can agree with that, ya know?" She looks over to the red panda," If that's it, you're free to go, if you want to give us your member addresses, that'd be fine to."

The Red panda sits on her tail for this lul in combat, her staff balanced on her lap," Wait, you'd seriously let me go? Huh, that's actually pretty noble of you guys. I'd be happy to give you my member address, maybe we can play together sometime?"

Dark Falls spins his scythe around before dramatically putting it away with the spark effect of equipping/unequipping,"If the other two agree, I am no one to disagree..." He flips his hair out of his eyes and puts his fingers to his forhead.

{Obtained Saint Clarica's Member Address!}

"There, now you all have my address! However..." Saint Clarica smiles dangerously, I don't think 'Saint Yakilla' here will be as easy, and I'm taking her with me, tata!"

The Red panda throws down an item, generating a smokescreen that creates an exit from the barrier, by the time it clears, the two are gone and the barrier dissolves.

1/2 raises an eyebrow," Huh, well, they really did just leave... and she actually gave us her member address... Maybe she's not so bad? That other one though..."

Dark Falls nods," I agree, the Edge Panda, was pretty aggressive, I think she's a bit obsessed with PK..."

The beast stature is before the party....

So, so far we know that adding a soul increases the level of our blade as well as changing the stat attack. It seems that each soul we add replaces the previous one going by stat effects not stacking but it's possible that the same soul multiple times might stack or even create new effects. Or that souls combine to make new effects.

Goblin Soul = Poison

Ya Murder Soul = +4 to attack, 100% crit rate from behind, Paralysis(maybe some of these are from combining with the Goblin Soul?)

Fallen Warrior's Soul(s)? = Curse, Sleep

Any way to remove souls for experimenting(maybe by dropping it in the lake again?) or do we just have to keep throwing souls in and hoping for the best?
>>
>>23685309
The level of the sword might be the level of the soul, you know. Goblin soul lvl2 and Ya Murder lvl 3.

>>23685309
Alternatively, maybe we can get the monk to exorcise them. But that most likely mean losing them permanently.

You step forward, admiring the beast statue and take a knee to open the chest of offering that sits before the effigy....

Opening the chest, you see that inside of it is piece of armor styled after a white snake...

{Acquired Skin of the White Serpent!}

[Skin of the White Serpent Lv 10
Def value -5 reduction to enemy attack value.

1/2 and Dark Falls both admire the piece, congratulating you on the acquisition.

With the dungeon complete, the three of you warp out from the nearby portal...

"Damn, that was a really good dungeon, with a game like this, I don't see how other games even compete in the market!" Dark Falls exclaims, stretching about. Everyone got to open the chest as it yields a piece for everyone.

1/2 smiles and throws an arm over your shoulder," Man, we've been owning PKs with you around, I swear, you're my new pal!"

You seem a bit disturbed by the contact, but thankful for it, you blush and quietly say," It is an honor to adventure with you.. I would like to have my two honorable companions with me in the future..."

You feel tired from playing so much into the night, it's Saturday tomorrow, so you'll be able to play again soon.

Bidding your two online friends farewell for now, you log out.
