The darkened tower had become busier in recent days and the birds circling it demonstrated the increased disturbance as Rock looked in from the doorway. He had heard that there was something more than birds here and he wasn’t about to walk in without some caution. He had suffered much since Order collapsed and had resumed freelance mercenary work, as a scavenger. He stepped into the tower staying low. Perhaps it had been well lit once but now, it was pitch black and Rock gave his eyes time to adjust. As he moved to the staircase he walked past a bent cell door that had fallen from some height, making not to watch his head he continued on up the winding staircase. The vacant tower echoed every step, making considerably more heavy footfalls than the last explorer. Rock moved slowly, moving the barrel of his pistol slowly from one end of each cell to the other but, never spending more time than was needed to certify that no-one was waiting in ambush for the hapless merc. Rock laughed slightly, there is only so much that can be said about a vacant abandoned tower and other than thinking about how much bird scat he would be cleaning from the bottom of his boots. Out of the corner of his eye Rock spotted movement in the cell ahead of him, slowing his walking speed he moved up the stairs, as he neared it he saw the cell door opened loosely hanging on its hinges. He looked deeply into the gloom of the cell a small void shifting in his view as his gaze deepened as Rock tried to make out it shape and level of threat. Suddenly it turned and, letting out and angry caw, it flew out of the cell right towards him. Rock’s Auto-pistol let out a short burst as the crow flew by his face the bullets ricocheting of the stone walls of the prison. The stairway crumbled as Rock’s foot neared it’s edge sending small pebbles down below, it was not a necessarily lethal fall from the point Rock was but high enough to where the bones of his leg might not stand it. “You react quickly.” A voice spoke from above him. “Though too harshly for a bird.” The ragged man, with the curved sword materialized from a flock of birds in front of Rock, his glowing eyes staring deeply, inquisitively into Rock’s. “An unlikely choice, I’m not sure you belong here.” He said quickly charging Rock who rolled roughly down the stairs before firing back at the creature who nimbly swayed around the stream of hot metal. “Die damnit!” Rock shouted trying to follow the wily creature on the narrow stairwell with his M-93. The being made use of every inch of the limited space though Rock could swear he walked on thin air at times. The ragged man closed the distance quickly, forcing Rock to block the blow with his pistol, sparks flew from the contact between the two metals. “A crude weapon.” The man commented pushing Rock back. “but perhaps you are a crude sort, return when you have more to offer.” With that Rock felt the sting of the being’s free hand on his jaw as he toppled over the stairs onto the metal cage, his head rang against the metal bars and his sight started to blur. It was only his willpower that allowed him to crawl outside before blacking out. Outcome: Mission Complete Rock Katai: 5EXP, 5Mana, +1REP Shade Edited by scarththegrim, Aug 10 2011, 03:11 PM.
