Magical Pattern

Jan 27, 2009

Kia, are you ready for the trip to Ordelle's Caves?

Yes! I just need to get a Scroll of Warp.

Will you be heading there from Jeuno or--

I will have Rottata teleport me to Jugner.

Very well. ^_^


I was feeling somewhat uneasy, but glad that Shagrath had honored the plans we had made.
My back up plan for the evening was to hunt sheep in La Theine Plateau, I had a stack of wind crystals with me.
As I was eying up an unsuspecting sheep, Shagrath raced up on a chocobo and dismounted beside me.
He then slew the sheep and we made our way to the cave. I was pretty sure I remembered the way there. Inside what a whole other story!

I was somewhat tired from the weeks events and stresses and quietly tailed Shagrath as he led us around and down and up again.

So do you want to try for all three patterns tonight?

Oh, only if you don't have anything else to attend. I know we had talked about meeting your brother later, so I don't want to dally too long here.

I promised you I would help tonight, I'm not going anywhere.

Well, we'll see how long it takes to get the key and find the chest.


We got a key very quickly! It took a little longer to find the chest, but luckily no one else was looking for it.
I opened it and received a Magical Pattern!

:D Yay!! That was easy. I'm going to warp now and turn this in.

Okay, I'll wait here for you.


I used my scroll of instant warp to return to Jeuno, where I traded in the pattern for Savage Gaiters! =^_^=

{Savage Gaiters} {Mine!} Thanks so much Shagrath!!

Congratulations! Do you want to try for more? We have plenty of time.

Umm... Okay I suppose so... I'll ride a chocobo out there.

Ok! ^_^ Do you remember where we were?

Not really. Not once inside.

Okay I will meet you at the entrance.


This time, we immediately found the chest. It was in a room with a hole and 2 sets of bats. I waited there, making sure to keep my sneak enchantment up just in case the bats got too close. Shagrath went on ahead and killed monsters that would drop the key.
So there I waited. Guardian of the Chest.
There really isn't much to look at in that part of the limestone caves. Just the sound of the bats flapping their wings... lulling me to sleep.
I leaned up against the wall, tracing imaginary drawings with my finger on the floor.
Then I adjusted the laces on my new gaiters. Flexed my toes. Stretched my legs. Stood up and reached skyward, opening fingers wide, then let my arms fall to my sides.

Sha-chan...

Yes, Kia?

I'm getting tired! Where is this key? Maybe we should be glad to have found one...

Who knows what the universe holds for us, Kia. We have time, don't worry.


Moments later, he found a key! I quickly opened the chest I had been guarding for another pattern.
I whisked away to Jeuno with the aid of a scroll of warp and traded the pattern for a Savage Loincloth, which really just looked like a pair of red panties! :/

{Savage Loincloth} {Mine!} =^_^=

Great! Congratulations! Wolf said he would teleport you, if you want to try for the last piece.

Oh I don't know... The last one took a long time to get the key. We only have about 5 minutes.

We have more then 5, we have 8! That's plenty of time!

Well... I suppose...

Okay, invite Wolf.

Hi Wolf :) Thanks for the teleport!

You're welcome, good luck!


The clock was ticking, I leaped off the telepad and ran for the chocobo trainer next to it. I urged the bird to run its full speed as we raced toward the cave.

Kia!! I found the chest!! Now all we need is a key.

Oh my gosh.. okay. Where is it?

Remember that room you were just in? Well from there you would just drop down and it is in the room underneath. Do you remember how to get back to the room you were waiting in?

No... ; ; but I will try my best if you can direct me.

Okay.


I was at the cave and ran in. I remembered to take my first left, but after that things sort of looked the same.
I tried hard to follow Shagrath's directions. Darting this way and that, putting up sneak and invisible enchantments. My heart was pounding.
Then the key dropped!! I quickly grabbed it from the treasure pool as I rounded a bend and ran down another hall... where there was a small room with bats... and a hole... This must be it!! I closed my eyes and jumped.

Okay I jumped down, Sha-chan. Now what?

Look around. It should be there.


Show yourself chest!!!
I spun around. My heart was thudding so hard it nearly knocked the wind out of me.
Frantic, with literally SECONDS left, I scanned the room.
There... a few paces away sat the little brown chest.
And a Goblin, facing away.
And some dancing weapon being fought by a Paladin that I did not know.
I gulped... 5 seconds.
I bounded toward the chest... 4 seconds...3...
I dropped my invisible enchantment and fumbled with the key in the lock...2 seconds...

Kiamoko obtains a magical pattern

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee oh praise to Altana!!! Sha-chan I don't believe it!!!

You got it?! Wonderful! You see! The universe had something wonderful in store for us tonight!

Oh!! Yes, yes! Thank you so much Sha-chan!!


My whole body was tingling with trepidation. I could hardly move, but I knew I needed to warp out of there before the Goblin saw me and summoned his brothers who were lurking near by.

In Jeuno, I traded the pattern in for my final piece, Savage Separates. I couldn't contain my excitement any longer!

Sha-chan!!!!!!! {Savage Gaiters}, {Savage Loincloth}, {Savage Separates} {Mine!} Thanks to him!!!

That was met with {Congratulations!} from the linkshell members.

Haha Kia, you know what? I think my brother wishing you 'good luck' is what did it, not me.

Oh yes, do hug him for me! If it was not for him I surely would never have made it there in time. But you... You Sha-chan, you found the chest and got the key! You are amazing! Thank you so much!!!

I suppose we need to get you to level 31 so you can wear them. Want to go now and do a manual page?

Oh yes!! Yes please!!

Okay let's do Sauromugue Champaign training.


I had been so sluggish but now, now new life! New energy! New pants!
Sha-chan met me in Jeuno, where I was so beside myself I simply wasn't thinking and threw myself toward him, landing in a joyous embrace.

Ohh thank you thank you !!!

Kiamoko hugs Shagrath

Kia.. heh you're welcome.

Kiamoko hugs Shagrath

Ohh I can't BELIEVE it! I'm not even excited about the gear so much as the time limit!!

Kiamoko hugs Shagrath

Yes, Kia... That was very exciting and lucky.

Kiamoko hugs Shagrath

Okay! I get it! You're happy, I'm glad for you... Now stop that.

I stepped back... Realizing my foolishness and sulked a little. I just... wanted to show my gratitude. [/blush]

We headed out to Sauromugue Champaign for field training and just as we finished it /*\Level Up 31/*\
