[attr="class","spiral"] There are rare instances where Fernando works alongside those that he doesn't know. In an effort to claim his first kill on a rare boss, this is one of them. He joins a party of pub players and they navigate the desert and find their prey. It takes them a minute to whittle the monster down and for the most part, Fernando remains undamaged. His role had been to disable it from a distance and as a Ranger he excels at his objective. Unfortunately, the boss seemed immune or had a higher resistance to status effects, and that puts a toil on their plan.

Time and effort goes into slaying the beast and several players perish before they can finish their objective. Unfortunately, their sacrifice would go in vain. Everything becomes worthless when someone else miraculously lands the final hit and claims the credit for the boss kill.

Fernando immediately leaves his party and shoots his two allies in the back. They're on their last legs and neither are able to put up a fight. PARALYSIS renders them unable to respond or even ask why before they're turned into pixels. In the end, it's not personal but the experience he gains from PKing them help make up for the time wasted. He won't leave empty handed.

That only leaves Gavin and Fernando aims his pistol.

"..."

Actions speak louder than words and he pulls the trigger. Another ZAP CANNON conveys what his expression cannot.


ATTACK ROLL: ZVmqMb03
PARALYZE ROLL:

If PARALYZE lands between 1-100, ZAP CANNON will paralyze.

RANGER PERK: Swap PARALYZE ROLL'S roll with Gavin's next ACTION roll.

[attr="class","spiral"] One hit down, one more to go.

Fernando's battle plan is simple and any that end up being killed by him can understand it once they've been hit by multiple status conditions. Being unable to react makes easy pickings for Rangers that lack the physical bulk of Warriors or the Destructive burst of Mages.

Naturally, he expects Gavin to flee or retaliate after seizing his loot. Fernando gives chase and by the skin of his teeth, he strafes the attack, barely able to anticipate it due to the distance between them. Funny how his game play matches his battle style outside of the game.

DODGE ROLL: BsR43fuA

[attr="class","spiral"] Fernando sees his game plan after Gavin makes some distance toward his objective. The mobs will aggro players once Gavin passes by but as long as he keeps running, none will reach him. However, they'll still be aggro'd and go for whoever else is nearby, which would be Fernando should he continue the chase.

Meh. He doesn't care. An eye for an eye, blood for blood. He continues to give chase and prepares a different type of ammo. Coincidentally, his next attack is one perfect for addressing multiple targets. Rather than dodge, Fernando does his best to keep up and aim his next shot.

He fires his ordinary bullet and when it enters Gavin's striking range, it explodes in a loud CHATTER. Anyone nearby will be subjective to the impact of the sound waves, dazed and CONFUSED.


ATTACK ROLL: zsTeUQnu
CONFUSION ROLL:

If CONFUSION lands between 1-100, CHATTER will CONFUSE.

[attr="class","goro"] this was a good game, goro decided. worth the many hours he had been putting into it. the quest or whatever were okay, sure, but it was the player versus player battles that really got him going. thrill of the hunt, as it were. at first, he had taken tot his game as a simple troll, a griefer, one might say; but now? oh no, he had a noble cause: to hunt other trolls and griefers. this guy, the one they were hunting now? one of the worst. plenty of reports, and that made him an even bigger prize.

they shot a spirit shackle infused arrow from behind the pistol carrying barcode bastard.

ROLL FOR SPIRIT SHACKLE, WILL PIN TARGET TO THE GROUND WITH SHADOW AND PREVENTS ESCAPE:
CdJkGS9N

[attr="class","spiral"] The SPIRIT SHACKLE from behind is unexpected and lands cleanly underneath his shoulder blade. In a head on Ranger vs Ranger match up, whoever reveals themselves first loses. For Goro, Fernando's long given up his stealth in lieu of actively hunting down the boss and chasing Gavin after his successful kill steal. The ROOTED status that populates overhead marks that his efforts are in vain and Gavin now has an easy way out now that Fernando's tethered to Goro's positioning.

"Fuck."

He turns around and switches ammo quickly. Dealing with a new opponent is unfortunate but not something entirely new. PVP zones were a free for all and those who adapted to sudden changes were those who fared the best. He's about to notch his targeting toward the new Ranger when he's suddenly lifted away from his ROOTED position. The TELEKINESIS makes dodging near impossible but Fernando's never been one to allow a chance to inflict damage slip him by.

"Boss kill stealer has 500 Metal Coats worth of items on him. I have 10 and a minor potion."

Fernando's only met one of his opponents and even then he doesn't remember Ruby. Their interaction was so quick that he never got a time to etch her username into his memory. So he assumes they're both here for the same reason and just picking at whoever proves easy experience and loot. Between him and Gavin, the choice is obvious, but that's only if they're here for the same thing he is.

Thankfully, Gavin doesn't leave and even though his TWIN NEEDELE lands, this allows Fernando the position to retaliate with AIR SLASH. The POISON status effect flashes on his own HUD and Fernando mentally counts down how long he'll last. At the very least, maybe he can get a kill on Gavin and have the loot split between them.

ATTACK ROLL: zf3j7Ex_
FLINCH ROLL:

If FLINCH roll hits between 0 - 30 AIR SLASH will flinch.
