Getting By
It’s been one heck of a long, sunny day. Tai, the fighter, falls down to the sandy floor. “At this rate, we’ll never find the Crab King.” says Tai.
“Not with that attitude,” says Cly, cleric. “Besides, I think we’re close.”
“How can you tell?” asked Aaron, archer.
“Not sure,” answered Cly. “I’m just trying to keep things positive here.”
“Wait, what’s that ahead?” says Tai. He gets up from the sand and squints into the horizon. He starts to smile, “Ha! It’s the King Crab!”
Our three young travelers run to the King Crab, the King Crab is a bit bigger than our heroes. Tai slides on the sand and stop himself about 10 feet from the King Crab. He looks over to his partners Cly and Aaron. They both give him a nod, hinting that they have his back. Tai brings up his Long Sword and Buckler. He gives out his war cry and sprints towards the King Crab. The King Crab lashes out one of his huge pincers toward Tai. Tai quickly dodges the claw and gives a fatal slash on the side of the blue crab. Aaron runs to side a few feet away from the fresh new cut Tai left the crab and starts firing his arrows with his Long Bow. The King Crab runs to Aaron, with Aaron not having anything to defend himself with, he starts to walk back. He then raises his Long Bow and readies a power shot toward one of the crab’s legs. With the King Crab getting closer, Aaron misplaces his step and falls on his back, still holding the power shot. The crab raises one his mighty pincers and goes straight for Aaron! The second the crab can lay his pincer on Aaron, Cly jumped in right on time and bashes the pincer away with his Long Mace. The weight of the pincer caused the whole crab to turn over. Aaron spots the cut that Tai left earlier and releases his power shot straight to the wound. The King Crab squeals in pain. He gets up in frustration and charges at Cly, with Aaron behind him. Cly raises his Round Shield and gets ready for the impact. The King Crab tilts down his head and hits Cly’s Round Shield with his horn, causing a small hole. Cly falls down on his back next to Aaron.
“Aah! He’s too strong, I can’t get up,” says Cly. “Help Aaron!”
Aaron reaches back and grabs an arrow and sticks the arrow on the crab’s head. “It’s not working! He’s not backing off!” yells Aaron as the arrow snaps.
“Hey ugly!” shouts Tai. He grabs the attention of the King Crab. The crab raises its head, with Cly’s Round Shield stuck on his horn. The crab looks at Tai, and Tai gives it a snearing kick. The King Crab accepts the challenge and charges toward Tai.
Tai sinks his Long Sword deep into the sand, and lies next to it. Tired of the long battle with King Crab, he calls out to his partners to make sure they were okay. Aaron walking toward Tai to give him a hand up nods his head. Cly was over the King Crab pulling his Round Shield off of his horn. Cly manages to get the shield off. He then walks over to Tai and Aaron, “Some fight, huh?”
“You can say that twice,” says Tai. “Aaron, nice job hitting the wound I made on it.”
“No problem,” responds Aaron. “Just saw the perfect opportunity and went for it!”
“We’ll celebrate later guys,” says Cly. “Right now, we need to report to Healer Julia.”
“Let’s go then!” shouts Tai.
The three friends arrive in Roumen. A small village for traveler’s to rest, young adventures to begin their quests, and a place to visit. As the three friends walk across the stoned floor to Healer Julia, they walk by Blacksmith James shop. Blacksmith James noticed that Cly’s Round Shield was punctured. He turns to his working table and gets back to work. They arrive to Healer Julia’s house. Aaron knocks on the door. “Who is it now?” says Healer Julia, as she opens the door. “No, I don’t want your- Oh, it’s you guys.”
“You don’t want your what?” asks Aaron.
“Nothing,” says Healer Julia. “So, did you get the job done?”
“Heck yeah we did!” says Tai, giving a big thumbs up.
“Good,” says Healer Julia. “Now the big guy won’t be giving me any trouble when I go out to collect my starfish.”
“And you can get your sea mushroom’s, too!” says Cly.
“Can’t, Mushroom Fighter is always there and-“
“No biggie!” blurts out Tai. “We handled him on one of our earlier quests!”
“Wow, you guys aren’t half bad!”
“So, how about our, um … you know.” Says Aaron.
“Oh!” says Healer Julia, as she reaches in her pocket. “Here.” She drops 141 copper on Aaron’s hand. Aaron looks at the money like if it was candy. “Don’t spend this all at once!”
shouts Healer Julia as she shuts the door.
“Aha, I won’t!” says Aaron, licking his lips.
“Ehem.” says Cly and Tai, both tapping there foot on the stoned floor.
“Where’s our half?” asked Cly.
“Yeah,” said Tai. “After all, you didn’t defeat the King Crab on your own.”
“Okay, it’s only fair.” Says Aaron, as he divides the copper between the three.
After the distribution of the copper, the three friends walked down the walk way to Skill Master Ruby. They walk inside her shop and ring the bell on the counter. Skill Master Ruby comes out of from the back room.
“Hello boys, what can I do for you?” asked Skill Master Ruby.
“Here to check for new skills.” answered Tai.
“Alright, who’s first?”
“I’ll go!” shouts Aaron.
“Okay, class?”
“Um,” Aaron raises his Long Bow in confusion. “Archer isn’t it obvious.”
“How would I of known if you weren’t a Sharpshooter or a Ranger?”
“Do I look that powerful?!” shouts Aaron with excitement.
“No,” replies Skill Master Julia. “But it’s my job to ask for the class. It’s obvious that you are a beginner.
“Yeah, yeah. You have any skills for me or not?
“Let me check back.” Skill Master Ruby heads to the back room and bring back two purple scrolls.
“Whoa! Two new skills?” shouts Aaron. “No way!”
“They’re not for you, kid,” replies Skill Master Ruby, place the scrolls on the counter.
“They’re for the fighter and cleric over there.”
Tai and Cly immediately stand up.
“I didn’t think I was going to have another skill until a few more quests.” says Cly.
“Yeah, same here.” Says Tai.
“Well, you do. Here,” says Skill Master Ruby, as she tosses the skill scroll to Tai and Cly.
“Mr. Fighter has Concussive Charge. It stuns your enemy for a short period of time. And Mr. Cleric has Protect. With that, your strength and defense increases. You can also cast that on an ally.”
“Wow, I can’t wait!” says Cly with excitement.
“Yeah, bet your thrilled.” said Aaron with disappointment.
“Have fun with the new skills you two,” says Skill Master Ruby. “And Mr. Archer.”
“Hm?” said Aaron.
“Don’t worry. I feel some skills coming your way soon.”
Aaron nods his head and exits the shop. Tai and Cly follow behind.
“Where should we learn our new skills this time, Cly?” asked Tai.
“Um, how about the trail heading to the mini flower garden?” replies Cly.
“Yeah, that should be good,” says Tai. “Let’s go!” Tai starts to jog over the trail uphill to the flower garden. Cly follows, with Aaron behind.
“Cly!” yelled Blacksmith James. Cly immediately stopped causing Aaron to bump into Cly.
“Uh, yes Blacksmith James?” asked Cly.
“Please call me James, I noticed that your shield is damaged.”
“Yeah, it kind of got ruined on my recent quest.”
“Here,” Blacksmith James gives Cly a new Round Shield. “Take good care of this one.”
“Thanks!” said Cly. “Thank you so much!” Cly noticed some glowing symbols rotating around the shield. “Why does it the shield do that?” asked Cly.
“I threw a few elrue into it.” replied Blacksmith James.
“Thank you again, James.” Said Aaron, as he run uphill to the flower garden.
Tai looks over to Cly and Aaron who are barely getting to the top.
“What took you two so long?” asked Tai.
“Got a sweet new shield!” shouted Cly, showing off the glow.
“Nice!” shouted back Tai, and high fives Cly.
Tai and Cly spread open their scrolls on the floor. “Same as last time right?” Cly asked Tai. Tai gives a nod. They both sit and start to meditate, concentrating hard on the presence of the scroll. The scrolls start to glow and little by little they start to part into tiny light purple glowing specs floating around the rightful owner. The glowing specs fused around their owners and disappear. Tai and Cly get up feeling slightly more powerful than before.
“You know you don’t have to exclude me from your little friendship,” says Aaron, Tai and Cly look at him with confusion. “Just because you both are best friends, doesn’t mean you have to ignore me.”
“Um, Aaron, are you okay?” asked Cly.
“I’m fine,” says Aaron, walk past the two. “Just perfect.”
“Alright,” says Tai. “Well, if you don’t mind we’re going to see if Robin needs any help, are you tagging along?”
“See!” yells Aaron. “That’s what I’m talking about! Your both always making plans without me. I thought we were all partners.”
“Dude, we are,” says Tai. “Chill.”
“I am chilled.”
“Well, are you coming or not?”
Aaron gives a deep sigh walks with them to Robin. Before they can get there they’re interrupted by Skill Master Ruby. “Hey, kid!” says Skill Master Ruby. “Looks like you did have a new skill coming your way!” Skill Master Ruby tosses the scroll to Aaron. Aaron catches with excitement.
“What does this do?” asked Aaron.
“It poisons your enemy for a short period of time at the same time causes damage,” says Skill Master Ruby. “Have fun with that!”
“Thanks!” shouts Aaron, as he watches her leave. He then turns to his partners and says, “Look guys, new skill!”
“That’s cool, but first we got to head over to Robin,” says Cly. “Think he’s been waiting long enough.”
“Right.” Says Aaron as he puts the scroll in his inventory for safe keeping.
The group heads over up a few stoned stairs and turn to their right for Robin’s house. Grandpa Robin was resting upon a bench just outside of his house, snoozing away slowly.
“HEY GRANDPA ROBIN!” shouted Tai, making Robin to wake up from his small nap.
“Hm, eh! Who’s there?” asked Robin.
“Just us Robin,” said Cly. “Tai here just wanted to play a trick
