Ruler had also come to the conclusion his crafting skill was stalled. He supposed there was some kind of limitation on the ranks you could acquire on the bottom floors, which made sense. If they could get the best equipment right from the get-go,the game'd hardly be challenging. They had an interesting party. Ladies-man Leviathan, who Ruler didn't trust about not being much of a ladies man, and the stoic but reliable Farmsalot. Figuring he'd let Leviathan and Farmsalot discuss armour, Ruler trotted ahead of them. "I'm gonna check out the view a bit," he said. He didn't detect any monsters nearby, anyway, so it'd probably be fine for a bit. They followed a path just wide enough for two to walk side by side that ran a winding course around the edge of the mountain. Ruler had to watch where he walked: too close to the edge, and small bits of rock would break off and roll down the mountain. Small pieces of rock jutted out from the walls beside them. If one tried, Ruler thought they could probably scale the mountain that way, but it didn't look safe. Falling could kill, after all, and the path was servicable enough. For a while, at least. The path ended almost abruptly: boulders, small and large, had rolled from the mountain wall and onto the path. The largest boulder was nearly three meters high. The mountainwall beside him still looked scaleable, but Ruler wasn't sure how high up they could get from here. Ruler turned to his partymembers. "So um... I guess we gotta climb, huh?" He didn't like that idea at all.

eviathan grinned. "Thanks for the armor!" he said happily. He'd finally gotten something that could protect. The red-hair was glad for the addition to his inventory.[break][break] He was, however, curious as to why their crafting seemed to have slowed down. "I guess the next levels are harder to get by a long shot, huh," he noted curiously. He wondered just how far ahead they were from him. How much had they worked to get to their current levels?[break][break] "Ah yeah, I'm working towards getting the Tailoring Proficiency," Levi mumbled, more to himself than to the group. He knew that he was still short on a little col for that, and so he hoped this quest would prove useful and helpful in that regard.[break][break] Leviathan watched as the young weapon maker went on ahead. In all honesty, he admired the two of them - heck, they were at a high level, and he was...well, still a noob. Their equipment was fancy, their skills on-point, and frankly, he was pretty certain that Farmsalot had what the youngsters called "swag".[break][break] He nearly snorted. "The Youngsters". He was only twenty one, and he was already calling teenagers youngsters.[break][break] Once they'd caught up to Ruler, careful to avoid the mountain path's edge and the cliffs to the side, Levi glanced at the boulders in their path and pulled a face. He enjoyed climbing things, yes, but that looked like it would be difficult.[break][break] "Climb we must," Levi hummed with a note of optimism. He craned his neck upwards as he looked for proper foot holds. He used a foot to nudge one of the rocks, testing it for stability before hopping onto it. [break][break] "They seem pretty stable. And they've been here for a while, so they shouldn't be going anywhere," he said, noting the details of lichen on the rock face. "Just be careful of the moss."[attr="class","jarleviathancredit"] made by jaronart[newclass=.jarleviathan]width:350px;height:400px;box-shadow:1px 2px 2px 2px #d1d1d1;padding:10px;background:#fff;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanname]float:center;border-bottom:1px solid #d1d1d1;color:#919191;padding:10px;text-shadow:1px 1px 2px #313131;font-family:Montserrat;font-size:25px;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:bold;transition:all 0.5s linear 0s;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathan:hover .jarleviathanname]color:#ffd000;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanpic]float:left;background:#919191;padding:10px;margin-top:5px;margin-left:5px;border-radius:100%;width:100px;height:100px;border:5px double #fff;transition:all 0.5s linear 0s;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanpic:hover]background:#FFD000[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathancredit]font-size:8px;font-family:Open Sans;margin-top:2px;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanusername]width:270px;height:20px;font-family:Montserrat;font-size:16px;text-align:right;padding:2px;padding-right:5px;background:#efefef;border-right:5px solid #00d126;box-shadow:1px 1px 1px #d1d1d1;margin-top:10px;margin-right:-55px;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanhp]float:right;margin-top:5px;margin-right:5px;width:200px;height:10px;border-radius:100px;padding:2px;padding-bottom:6px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #d1d1d1;font-family:VT323;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:2px;box-shadow:1px 1px 1px #d1d1d1[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathanstat]float:right;margin-top:5px;margin-right:5px;width:200px;height:10px;border-radius:100px;padding:2px;padding-bottom:6px;background:#fff;border:1px solid #d1d1d1;font-family:VT323;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:2px;box-shadow:1px 1px 1px #d1d1d1[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext]float:center;width:300px;height:160px;margin-top:110px;border:1px solid #d1d1d1;box-shadow:1px 1px 1px #d1d1d1;font-family:Open Sans;font-size:10px;text-align:justify;overflow:auto;padding:20px;border-radius:10px;transition:all 0.5s linear 0s;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext b]color:#ffa500[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext::-webkit-scrollbar]width:5px;border-radius:100px;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext::-webkit-scrollbar-track]background:#fff[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb]width:5px;background:#ffd000;border-radius:100px;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantextsub]float:left;margin-right:5px;border-radius:100px;padding-right:7px;padding-left:7px;padding:5px;font-family:Montserrat;text-transform:uppercase;background:#d1d1d1;font-weight:bold;color:#fff;transition:all 0.5s linear 0s;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext:hover]border:1px solid #ffd000;[/newclass] [newclass=.jarleviathantext:hover .jarleviathantextsub]background:#ffd000[/newclass]

Farms looked on in amusement as Ruler ran off ahead to enjoy the view. He couldn't blame him for all the excitement, really. That was a lot like how he felt when he was exploring the mountain before the excitement. If only he could forget about everything that happened and feel that way again.
A smile spread across the armored man's face as he looked over at Leviathan, nodding in acknowledgement to his appreciation. "It's no problem, really. It's not like I have any use for it." Gaze turned back to the path ahead, paying close attention to the path to ensure they didn't stray or step too close to the edge. Though he continued to nod along as the red haired man spoke, hoping it would show that he was still paying attention this words. "Tailoring? That skill's in pretty high demand from what I've seen." So in demand that it was starting to be a bit of a concern. So many people that seemed more interested in dealing damage than keeping themselves safe. Hopefully those people knew what they were doing.
Brows rose as they came across the obstacle, head tilting to the side as he stepped closer to it. "Huh. This wasn't here When I was here last." It always came as a shock how dynamic the game could be. Letting out a heavy sigh, Farms opened his menu and navigated his way to the equipment menu. After unequipped his spear gloves and boots he would step up to the obstruction, running a bare hand along it's surface. Hands rubbed together as he looked at the potential footholds, quietly plotting the best course. "Be especially careful that you don't disturb it too much. If you knock the wrong rock loose the whole thing could collapse and start sliding back down."

He'd never climbed a mountain before. He'd stared longingly at Fujisan once, when the mountain came into view during a train trip outside Tokyo. Never once had his parents budged that it was a waste of time. Ruler licked his lips excitedly, He watched Leviathan and Farmsalot, nodding along. Then he approached the rocks himself. With the tip of his tongue stuck out, Ruler examined the boulders. He ran a hand across their surfaces, finding the rock cold, but solid to the touch. The moss tickled his hand a little. He was reminded of a field trip. Ruler climbed onto one of the boulders. It held his weight easily, and didn't move. He went onto the next, and then the next boulder. Before long, he was already halfway up the barricade. Each step, he took with care. Once, small chips of rock fell out from under his foot, and Ruler had had to cling to a handhold, jutting out from the main boulder. "Quests're sometimes different, huh." There were no boulders from here on out, and he'd have to do some climbing. "I think the breadcarrier quest's always the same, though." Small rocks jutted out from the boulder above. Ruler tested one of them. He pulled himself up, flailing his leg around a bit until it settled into one of the other jutting rocks. Whether it was by pure luck, or some mercy of the game, none of the holds crumbled off, and Ruler reached the top safely. He took a breather, staring down the cliffs from atop the boulder. It wasn't the top of the mountain yet, but even there the sight was breathtaking. He inhaled the fresh air deeply. It was amazing. Ruler stared up the walls. If they felt particularly courageous, they could probably skip part of the mountain trail and climb up from there...

eviathan grinned, though it was a little wistful. "Yeah, I heard Tailoring was high in demand, but I really wanted the weapon crafting proficiency." he watched Ruler's back for a second, thinking back to how he'd gotten his dao, now strapped to his belt. "If I'm completely honest, Ruler inspired me a bit. But I guess I should've gotten that Tailoring thing while I had the chance." He gave a sigh as he thought of how far he had to get to 300 col. "Now I gotta save up again."[break][break] Leviathan nodded to both of their warnings as he climbed, though one time he nearly lost his footing as one foothold caved. However, he managed to scramble his way around and get his foot lodged back on the rock. Gritting his teeth, he followed Ruler's path and soon made it up.[break][break] Staring at the scenery, he gave a low whistle. "Wow," he said softly, marveling at the detail that had been put into the game. It was breathtaking, and they hadn't even reached the top.[break][break] "I guess that's the path," he said, pointing to a narrow trail that was to the side, hugging the cliff face. The drop was sheer, and he stepped back to avoid falling off. He'd never been all that great around unsafe heights...[break][break] And he definitely didn't want to take a short cut and climb up. He didn't want to die.

Taking up the rear as they climbed, Farms took full advantage of his bare hands and feet as he scaled the pile of rocks and boulders. Being able to feel and properly grip the footholds like he did back home actually made the whole experience an enjoyable thing. He even went out of his way to grab one of the mossy protrusions just so he could feel it's texture on his hand. Fortunately that little gamble didn't cause him to slip and fall.
He remained silent as he climbed, completely focused on the task at hand. Whether it was to ensure he didn't fall or because he wanted to enjoy it while he could was up for debate. After conquering the obstacle with the others he took a deep breath, looking out over the side of the mountain at the spectacular view. "Maybe. I doubt a simple delivery could have much variety to it at all." Yet he wouldn't put it past the developers to toss in some sneaky trick to complicate things every once in a while. They had certainly proven their deviousness thus far.
Now that he was past that obstacle he could take a moment to be proud of Ruler. Inspiring others to do more was one of the greatest things you could accomplish in this world. "I wouldn't worry about things too much. We all still have a long ways to go. Speaking of which..." Farms turned his gaze to the path ahead, gesturing towards it as he did. "We've still got a ways to go before we reach the top. Watch your feet." As he spoke he reopened his inventory, taking a moment to reequip himself. Didn't want to get caught without his weapon and armor, did he?

Ruler pretended not to have heard Leviathan during his climb. It was pretty embarrassing to be an inspiration to people. In the first place, he'd started crafting because he wanted to be helpful, and hadn't decided on fighting. That had changed. But he needed armour for that. "Before we go on, is it... um, can we take a short break?" Ruler knew they weren't in the most opportune spots for a break, but the sight was pretty nice and his heart was still thumping madly in his chest from that climb. Managing it in one go... he had to wonder just how much the system had helped him. A real climb up Fujisan would probably spell his death if he was just going to scale it like that. "Um, Farms... have you climbed before?" He felt the answer had to be 'yes', considering Farmsalot's steady ascend and proper climb. made by: n/a from link-start
