Continuing to walk around and collect the gifts that had fallen, Rojin popped them into his inventory to keep them safe, since the elves were clearly targeting the gifts more then the collectors, and so he continued to gather them where he found them every now and again seeing the odd creatures that waddled around collecting the gifts and taking them somewhere, or simply running by with gifts, clearly all heading somewhere but he left them alone and if he seen any going after the same gift as him he would let the strange creatures take it, and each time they were very polite and would wave to him.
"the world has it's good points I suppose..." he said as a group of the little creatures waddled by all of them carrying gifts and they seemed to have an escort, a small creature that looked much like the others but it had one massive eye and carried a spear, and the more innocent looking ones seemed perfectly calm around it it's protective nature clear when it spotted him and pointed it's spear at him but didn't charge, instead it waited to see if he was a threat and when he proved to not be it nodded and continued it's Vigil over the other small creatures, even chasing off an elf that tried to get to the gifts they were carrying.
"Hard working little guy"" Rojin commented as she took a step and football kicked the Elf that had tried to attack the small innocent creatures sending it flying and easily defeating it, the one large eyeball one gave him a nod and a salute before heading off to guard the innocent ones again as they carried off some more gifts.
With that though Rojin also continued to gather more gifts for the event, and walked around keeping an eye out for more of those elves or reindeer that it had mentioned.

The old man looked over his shoulder "Help you? I think you misunderstand.. I am not helping you.. I am making sure you don't slow me down in doing the job I have taken, if you got webbed up and a spider was about to end you, I might very well leave you in the web to hang if you where dumb enough to let yourself get caught.. however you have a use even if it's just drawing more of the little bastards down here to the ground to eat you, but if you listen and actually learn then you MIGHT actually make something of yourself one day rather then being a walking disappointment". "And you better get over that Fear boy, these spiders are not the worst this world has to offer, there are beasts much larger then you, undead, demons, twisted abominations of nature, and things you would have trouble comprehending, so get over that childish fear of spiders and grow up a bit, or you won't last a week out here, especially if you're planning to head out and try to get stronger. and do yourself a favor and get a beginners guide... they are helpful despite the odd way it looks" he finished as he kicked a spider away. He swatted another with his mace as he continued his slaughter of the spiders, aiming for smaller ones with his mace to more badily injure them to draw more attention away from himself. Taking full advantage of the cannibalistic tendencies of the spiders thin their numbers even faster. Yazid

The Elves lunged at him, run past him to try to confuse him, or would attempt to strike at him from supposed blind spots, they were light and fast. Rojin meanwhile would dodge attacks when he seen them coming, leaning just out of the way of the attacks, seemingly like he had a sixths sense, or deflecting a blow with his mace or barehand that same metallic like sound ringing out when they landed a strike, and as the fight continued till they managed to get Rojin into some knee deep snow... snow they were to light to sink into, and the elves laughed thinking they had the upper hand.
Rojin smirked as they stayed just out or reach " see.. think you out smarted me huh... A beautiful dream... but dreams are meant.. he activated the secondary ability of his core and he started to move through the snow as if it wasn't there, almost gliding through the snow and suddenly grabbing one elf "...to be broken..." he chuckled as she snapped the elf's neck and moved after the others, forcing them back towards the more shallow snow since he knew this ability wouldn't last forever.. but his enemy didn't and he took advantage of that to force them back.
As they got to better footing for the old man he flicked one of his fingers and tripped an Elf as an invisible force hit them ion the leg and sent them tumbling, Rojin caught up with them and brought the mace down on their head ending them leaving one more which ran off "good.. I can focus on collecting again" he said as he washed the mace off in the snow before continuing on.

Continuing on Rojin picked up more gifts when he felt something strike him, a metallic like sound ringing out and he turned to see a Deformed Elf holding a knife in it's hands and it looked confused, Rojin only smirked "Ah.,.. you must be one of those elves.. well sad to say your to weak... sad for you anyway.." he chuckled as he backhanded the Elf sending it flying into a tree and defeating it but he could see others moving around trying to be stealthy. though failing at it.
As he picked p the gift and put it into his inventory the old man let out a sigh "Well come on.. I know your there.. might as well stop pretending like you're being sneaky.." he said in a gruff tone, and he smirked as the Elves stepped out, one taking a knife and trying to damage one of the gifts on the ground.
This made Rojin's face darken "Ah.. I see your goal is damaging or stealing the gifts.. well I can't have that, I have a job to do.." he said as he took the mace out and suddenly he was next to one of the Elves thanks to the skill of the Mace, slamming the mace down on the elf and while not killing it, staggering it for a moment and giving him the time he needed to kick it sending it into a tree and defeating it. he then picked up the gift it had been menacing "Lets play then...." he said to them with a dark smile.

"Then remember that for later" he said back to the man as he lifted his arm to block a spider lunging at him, the fangs trying to find purchase in the flesh of the old man, but the fangs skirted off his skin like it was made of steel, an almost metallic like SHING echoing as this happened and Rojin smirked "Tough to chew ain't I?" he smirked laughed as he punched through the spider killing it quickly before lashing out with the mace. It was then some of the spiders seen to slow him down by launching Webbing at the old man and rather then dodge it he let the webbing hit him and slow him down, but he smirked as it didn't even seem to matter as walked forward as if unencumbered from the webbing "That won't work ether sadly.." He chuckled Darkly as he grabbe done of the larger spiders and ripped it's legs off before tossing it aside to draw off some of the spiders "Your Weak Boy.. wound if you have to rather then kill, these things eat the wounded" he shouted to him. And with that Rojin continued his slaughter, the mace swinging and wounding spider after spider, the old man striding seemingly unstoppable through the horde of spiders "And don't scream god damn it.. I don't give a flying Fek if your scared, you are here so you WILL fight them and you WILL kill them, Last thing I need is you turning into a useless blubbering invalid simply because you are scared of some damn insects.. you got that boy?" he called back when he heard the boy scream.

Watching the man take to the air Rojin shook his head "They are spiders Boy.. attacking a flyer in their home is like asking to be webbed... have some sense and take into account what your fighting" he said as one spider lunged at the old man and he raised his fist punching right through the spider as he then took out a mace from his inventory "but do what you want, just don't go crying when you end up in a web due to not taking the enemy into account.." he added as he was rushed by a swarm of spiders, some attacking him with claw attacks but they didn't seem to affect the old man as he started to swing his mace at them. The spiders were weak, to Rojin at least, much like the skeletons he fought before, their strength was in numbers, and the fact they could slow them down with their webs, but Rojin barely had to worry about the webs due to his own abilities, in fact they were a boon to him if he wished them to be as he walked through the swarm smashing spiders with his mace, some lunging at him but he would move out of the way thanks to his speed, and so he would continue his walking slaughter of the creatures.

As the man explained Rojin shook his head "didn't ask for your life story boy, I just told you tie those down or you'll get yourself killed..." he muttered as he continued to look at the rubble pile, having identified a good entrance he nodded to himself before looking back at the boy, well he had a head on his shoulders to think to ask "I burn memories to grow stronger.. that's all" he told him as he started to walk towards the rubble pile that was stuck together with webs. "Follow there is a good entrance point here.. and I hope you got a weapon or means of attack because we are going to be set upon by a lot of spiders once we are inside, do your job and kill them, you get in trouble? Deal with it.. it gets to much? say something, don't go thinking you can deal with everything yourself, your weak and you have no clue how to use everything nor how to work together with my skills, follow don't try to lead got it?" Rojin continued as he looked over his shoulder at the boy as he waited at the entrance his eyes closed. After a moments pause to see if he understood Rojini walked into the monster nest the light came in only barely leaving the place in a murky shade, but Rojin got his eyes used to this by waiting outside and had his eyes closed, so when he walked in he opened his eyes and he could see fairly well in the dark now "watch your surroundings in here Boy, they can come from any direction in here..." he called back as he walked forward. Only a few moments later a Spider started to lower from above and Rojin raised a hand "Well one knows we are here now.. once it's killed or hit it will alert the rest so get ready.." he said as he raised a hand and flicked his finger at the Spider, an invisible force slamming into the spider killing it as it was a weaker smaller version but as it died they could hear skittering in the dark as the death seemed to awaken the rest in the place and Rojin smirked "hope you like Swarms of things" he said as she walked towards a veritable tide of spiders that started to swarm towards them.

{ Mission Info} Mission Name: An Island Holiday Mission Rank: C Rank Mission Location: Draco Islands: Utopia Guild Mission Description: When Utopia's Community Development upgrade was purchased, a wide swath of the Draco Islands was instantly transformed into something slightly more inhabitable. Strangely enough, this portion of the normally tropical zone has also become a winter wonderland! Sandy beaches lead to snowy fields, and you can tan yourself in the hot sun just a few feet from a frozen pond. Along with the snow, presents have also been spotted falling from the skies! Recover the missing gifts and wait for a certain newly deputized elf to appear and collect them so they can be safely returned to Santa. Make sure to be on the lookout for sinister Santas, evil elves, and ruthless reindeer! Mission Rewards: One personalized Unique Mystery Box based on your letter to Santa, delivered by Utopia's friendly elf!
In addition, keep an eye out for randomly spawning holiday field bosses! These threads will only allow a limited number of entrants within a specific level range, and we will prioritize including as many players as possible before alts would be allowed to join multiple boss fights.
Rojin walked onto the island looking around, another event and it seemed boxes were falling from the sky and he nodded to himself as he looked over the mission info and he started to walk around picking up the gifts "Seems easy enough.. though the notes of dangerous enemies seems like it would be an issue but shouldn't be to much to worry about" he muttered to himself as he seen a Waddle-dee wander on by carrying a gift off to somewhere and he blinked a bit "Interesting..." he muttered as he watched the creature waddle on to where ever it was going with the gift. "Likely the honorary elves it spoke of.. well they look non-threatening so I assume those are them" he muttered as he was about to pick up another gift and stopped as he noticed another of the small round creatures looking at the gift then up at him "Oh.. did you want this?" he asked the creature, which nodded and he gestured to the gift "Go ahead" the creature gave a little wave then picked up the gift and headed off before stopping and then turned around and waved to him once more before leaving. "Okay.. I will consider those to be animals.. they seem calm and nice enough..." he smirked a bit as he continued on to pick up more gifts as he wandered still keeping an eye out for more gifts and creatures

Rojin looked over as he heard the voice of a young man and when he turned to look he narrowed his eyes at the clothing the man was wearing and then he shook his head "Least you have manners so far.. Just call me Rojin.. As for you.. we are dealing with spiders.. I don't know what THAT thing is" he pointed to the things that looked like rabbit ears on the mans head "But take it off or tie them down, last thing you want is your head getting caught in a web due to those things getting snagged.. especially with your low level, Secondly, unless you want those fancy pant ruined I suggest you changed to something more durable like a pair of jeans or something cause Spider Ichor doesn't wash out easily.." he looked over the man before looking back to the webbed up rubble. "What's your class and what do you do?" he asked as he continued to examine the ruins from a distance at the moment, hopefully the boy would be as obedient as the girl he worked with when dealing with the skeletons not to ago, "Anything loose on you tighten up or put away Boy, in a place with all those webs things like that can get you killed, especially with how weak you likely are at the moment" he added as he tightened his robe that he had made, making sure it wouldn't get in the way but also that it wasn't so loose that it would get caught on webs easily. "When you're ready we will head in so get ready" he said gruffly as he waited. Yazid

Mission linkRojin walked through the more ruined and abandoned streets of New York, Looking around as he walked towards the mission area, he rarely grabbed missions on his own and tended to only get them assigned to him from the system, apparently this earth-chan didn't like people just resting on their laurels, not that Rojin liked doing that ether but what Rojin thought was doing nothing, and what the system, thought was doing nothing, were two different things. Rojin had been working on carving a new cane and getting some things together for looking for a place to make a more permanent home, and apparently the System thought that was doing nothing. This mission though? He grabbed this mission himself, no one had dealt with an issue earlier when it was more something small that could be handle, and now the problem grew, "Fekking kids not doing easy tasks.." he muttered as he looked over the mission once more, a spider den had grown into a proper nest, making it harder to deal with, and worse yet it was in an area he liked to frequent but hadn't been to in a while due to his work getting his things ready for a move. Looking at the rubble that had been webbed together it was clear this was the place "Least it was easy to find" he said as he got a ping and looked at the party list and seen that someone had joined the mission, they were ether given the mission by the system or they took it themselves, but they were low level, "Great.. hopefully they don't slow me down.." he thought about hte other lower level people he ran into and at least one understood they needed to take the measure of their enemy, and the other... well he tried.. but Rojin decided to wait as he looked over the web together rubble for good entrances.

And of course the man was a total idiot and started to look around rapidly even after being told not to look, Rojin didn't react to the man outwardly but he did let out an annoyed sigh "For a guy trying to sell himself as reliable you have already proven in one way that you are not... you don't follow orders or suggestions... I told you not to look.. and what do you do? you make it very obvious that your looking for something.. if you were not fully on their radar you sure are now, and your likely hood of getting away with anything in any area they occupy has likely dropped to zero thanks to your inability to listen" he said as he continued. Then the guy freaking shouted, and Rojin closed his eyes for a moment, the good news was, Rojin was somewhat known as just a cranky old man in the area, and it was unlikely anyone believed the babblings of a guy that came out of nowhere and was showing all the signs of being aware he was being watched, thankfully there was no way to prove it was his own skill or Rojin telling him, so that would leave any watcher with the most obvious conclusion, the new guy knew he was being watched. After all Rojin was just a grumpy old man that left people alone other then to politely buy what things they sold in the area. But as they turned a corner and left the Area Rojin Knew the small group watched he glared at Gleeford and stepped towards him, his old hand reaching up and grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and lifting him bodily from the ground and pinning him to the wall of hollowed out skyscraper, his face passive but Hate was clearly in his eyes "Now you listen to me you noisy little shit.. You Do that shit again? I will make sure your not found because I know many good places where monsters like to go that eat people, and all of them are higher level then you.. I told you not to look around and then you make it FECKING obvious that your looking around for something, making it CLEAR to the ones watching that you are AWARE of them... now how do you think a Stealthy Sniper.. and a Tracker are going to react to YOU knowing they are watching you? some new guy that only just showed up.." yes the jobs of the people and amount were a lie but still the old man was right annoyed now. "As I said before if you were not on the watch list before you definitely are now.. and with your little address to them making it CLEAR you know your being watched, they likely are sharing you likeness and description to the OTHER guilds that like to stick their noses into others business, you likely won't be able to go to ANY populated area without someone watching you now... instead of being able to simply slip under the radar and go about your business with them none the wiser you put up a giant sign screaming to the heavens that you MIGHT be a problem for them... As for what you just shouted out... what made you think that it was a good Idea to shout that? If it WAS true I would kill you the moment we were in a place they couldn't hear you scream for Jeopardizing my secrecy.. but lucky for me, they KNOW me here as nothing more than an old man that keeps to himself and politely buys what goods they have before taking a safe path back to his home or to a way point.." He let Gleeford go then letting his feet hit the ground as he started to walk once more. "If your trying to sell why you should be trusted and hired, you failed Horribly.... you don't listen to others orders or suggestions, you put yourself into the lime light of those that try to act like the new police, and then you try to ruin what quite and secrecy the person your trying to get hired by has cultivated over his time in the area... so tell me.. what redeeming qualities do you THINK you have left? Because your so called skill at recruiting is useless now since you can't do it secretly now that you put a massive target on your back.. because if that sniper and the Tracker have any pride in what they do... they are going to hunt you down.. and likely question you... well more like interrogate you.. on how you knew you were being watched, and if you tell them... then I will know you talked.. so you just became a big liability one way or another.. so.." he stopped as they were now fully in the shadow of a large building. "Tell me why I shouldn't just kill you here? we are far enough away now that they could think it was a monster.. I could say it killed you and ran away... injure myself to make it seem like I barely survived.. and I could go on living as that innocent harmless old man for a while longer before I decide what I want to do... and my biggest liability would be dead..." he glanced over his shoulder at Gleeford his eyes filled with malice "so you better be damn good at thinking up a reason, because I can tell you.. your not faster then me, stronger then me, or more durable then me... and you have pissed me off..."O.

As the girl mentioned the explosion a smirk formed on Rojins face "That Explosion wasn't from me... some fools attacked the horde of Skeletons on the other side of the hill... and they split up and got isolated badly, they called for help but only when most of them already died and they were in a situation where I couldn't have helped even if I had bothered to, the one woman left seemed to have a last little ability and used it,... that's what the explosion was" he explained as he smashed another Skeleton. "Get some distance move between the ones that can't see you, Learn Girl learn, unless you want to end up like the fools that underestimated this horde" he said to her "As for you, I suggest you put some effort into defense, You might be sneaky and a bit fast, but that means nothing if you get swarmed or the enemy has an attack that that seeks a target or cover a massive area you need to be able to take a hit if you have no other choice" he criticize her as he back hands a skeleton and shatters it before blocking an axe with his forearm and again that metallic clang rang off his arm where it hit. He then smashed the Skeleton with the mace, the Horde thinning quite well now thanks to the explosion before from the doomed group, so all in all at least they did lend a hand though likely not in the way they meant to.

Rojin continued to smash skeletons with the mace and flicks from his finger now and again, or a solid backhand, their attacks barely affecting the old man when they did hit as his body seemed to be made of hardened steel with the ringing sound that came from a hit landing on him "Hmm.. interesting side effect..." he would mutter as he knew full well what was causing it with his stats, the Skeletons where weak alone as he said before, it was numbers that gave them their danger, and their numbers were failing. "Sadly you are barely entertaining to me and are just an over all nuisance" it was then the old man noticed another team of people fighting the skeletons.... badly... they had split up horribly and were getting surrounded "Ah..something entertaining..." he said with a smirk as he smashed another skeleton with his fist clearing the immediate area around him to allow him to watch the other group of people fighting. The group were slowly being wounded, small weak wounds, but they were piling up, and it was clear they had underestimated the skeletons "Fools... dove in thinking it would be easy didn't they?" he chuckled to himself, Even his forced teammate for this mission didn't do that, she had actually listened to his advice.. surprising as that was to the old man, he had fully expected her to head off to start smashing skeletons much like the clueless fools he was watching now. The group he was watching had one person fall, light armor, pair of daggers, clearly the wrong weapon for this kind of enemy, and one got him in the leg, the light armor doing nothing to save him from the rusted axe that dug into his leg, and that was it for him.. he couldn't dodge he couldn't run, the Skeletons swarmed him and he died screaming, and Rojin chuckled. and then laughed quietly as one of the women of the group looked over in horror and called out the mans name and fully stopped healing another member to rush over to help them... not that she could do much he was already doomed. "Ahh.. abandoning your ally for a lover or friend? what a foolish mistake..." Rojin smirked as the woman they were healing, a mage likely by the looks of her, got stabbed by a rusty spear and pinned to the ground only for a swarm of Skeletons to advance on them and soon all that could been seen was the rising and falling of weapons striking again and again getting more and more red as the screams slowly died down. "abandon an ally to save a lover... lose both.." she leaned against the tree to continue watching. The route was started of the party he was watching but it was to late, the remaining healer and archer were quickly surrounded and overwhelmed, the healer fell first clearly ignoring all danger to herself in an effort to get to the man that fell first, unheeding to the calls of the last man to heal him so they could both escape "This is why you need to now where people's loyalties lay... now she's doomed not just you.. but your other allies all to save a man that was already dead" Rojin said to himself with a chuckle. The man finally seen him and callout "HELP US!!" and Rojin only waved to them and watched them both get dragged under the skeletons the healer seemingly using a last desperate move unleashing some sort of holy burst and destroying a good deal of the skeletons but it was clear that was a last stand... as she was quickly finished off by a heavily damage skeleton that survived, also the lone one to survive the burst. With that done he smirked and turned around "How is my teammate doing anyway... forced as it was I won't make the same foolish mistake... though she does work better alone... ah there she is.. hmm.. a bit in deep but holding her own... I should thin the crowd a bit for her though..." he muttered as he raised his mace and activated it's ability suddenly he dashed forward closing the distance from where he was on the little hill to the girl he was teamed up with "Watch your back... your leaving yourself open... you may be sneaky but you picked a horrible place to drop that stealth to go on the attack... pick your timing and your placing or you will end up worse then you are now" he criticized as he destroyed a skeleton coming up behind her.

The fact that the man took his musings and made an idea out of it was interesting to say the least, and it did spark some rumination. but of course thinking back on it.. Rojin did gain EXP from killing those people, as did the people that he saved more than likely, however he also didn't get any loot from the people he killed... granted at the same time he didn't bother to grab any, he continued walking, his stats letting him spot the person watching the young man next to him. "don't look around for them... you look even more suspicious.. you have three watching you.. by the look of the weapons... one tracker.. one sniper.. and an assassin.." of course he lied about the number and the equipment, the only person he seen was wearing what looked like the uniform of someone cosplaying as some sort of police service, and they didn't have a visible weapon out... not that you needed one out and ready in the world the way it was now, but he lied more to make the man even more uncomfortable, it entertained him. "as for the Idea of tricking people.. that might be hard as well... the people I am talking about did it all fully knowing what they were doing... then someone else found out about their little slave work camp operation and put up a request for it to be dealt with, only reason I took the job was cause the area they were using was one that I liked to frequent to get away from people... and I hate when the things I enjoy are ruined..." he said with a scowl. Then he smirked a bit "So I made sure to slaughter the lot of them with the help of their own prisoners... good EXP all around... all things considered. Don't get me wrong I don't care that they were doing it... what annoyed me was WHERE they were doing it.. as for the justice types, it's cause of Idiots like the ones I got rid of, that they are so on edge at the moment especially around here since it was in this cities ruins that they were set up.." he added as they walked.
