Lindow

Summary: 

Calrex: +1 SP, +200 Col
Lindow: n/a

He watched as his brother ignited the torch from its place as they headed inside the darkness of ther mines. He felt like he was in a Tolkien book raiding the drawven mines of their riches and gold, "So long as we are not the ones being roasted...or mishap to come across any dragons...Lead the way," Lindow said gesturing the tank of the group. Lindow followed Beoreson through the pit of the mines, his hand on the hilt of his Hard Edge as his stunning silver grey eyes darted in the darkness and the low traveling light of the torch up ahead. 

"Combat will be hard to do in here, if I start waving my blade around its gonna get caught on the walls or the ceiling. We'll need to find more open space so I can at least swing. Haha, "Lindow joked as he watched his step over a rather small decline in the mines. 

Lindow laughed and nodded his head to the warrior from his comment, as they were trekking through the dense forest Beoreson, his guildmate, had asked if there was any further questions to be asked. Perhaps he meant on a more personal level, or something else? Lindow didn't know what to ask at this point, since they were about to go through a small mine of sorts it was best to concentrate on the battles ahead as the unknown could be filled with dangeorus creatures lurking about. But in light of the conversation they had, Lindow followed and spoke up, "Yeah. After this, who is buying dinner?" He joked, he could probably eat a whole cow by himself, it would be a good idea to soak up some of that booze rolling around in his belly at the moment. Even though there were no effects, Beoreson had thought his guildmate to be drunk as his poor aim kept him from hitting his targets. It was just one of those days for the Crimson Blades Secretary. 

It was dark outside and his crimson cloak billowed from the flurry of snow around him. His face was red from the cold touch of the air as his numb body finally made it back to the glow of the city. As he entered the safe zone, Lindow fell to his knees and collapsed. 

When he came to, there was a warmth surrounding his body, a light that seemed to swallow him up. His eyes were blurry as they slightly opened, he noticed a face...his hands reached for it, "Crystal..." he murmered softly in his delerium. He touched the face with the soft pads of his finger tips, a dainty hand closed over his and pushed it down back to his body, "Rest, Lindow...Just sleep..." 

Opal was in the room with him, along with Lenneth and few others who had found him outside of town, they were unsure if he would make it through the night. Whatever journey he had gone through, it sapped most of the life out of him. He was an older guy, perhaps it was just too much for him to handle. All they could do was prey that he would see light. His eyes fluttered open and closed, he could barely make anything out. Those words to sleep sounded about right to him, the warrior relaxed and his eyes beat once more before fully closing. 

Summary: 
+1 SP

*Special Note: Ended up having to escape from a battle. Detailed from the start of the battle, Lindow found a way to escape should the battle come too dangerous. This was RPed out due to his tactical background as a SWAT member and as DC of the SFPD law enforcment with 15+ years of service. Due to the circumstances wasn't sure if it was allowed completely, but will leave the fate of Lindow to the mod who locks this topic. Thanks! 

In the dark corridors he ran swiftly and without incident keeping one hand on the hilt of his blade, while the other was out in front of him and rolling against the right wall to keep track of where he was. As he made several turns and through many narrow passageways, Lindow stopped when he felt the bitter coldness of the air around him and the trickle of light coming through at the other end. He wheezed and panted as he hunched over, his hands on his knees. He wanted to fall down to say a prayer, but he was on the chase for that mysterious voice in the cavern, no doubt it was one of the PKers from the child killing guild. As he gathered air he made off once more with a sprint, the cold wind nipping and biting his exposed flesh. He pushed through the coldness of the air and burst into a lunge as he threw himself into the cold embrace of the snow. He slid forward and did a tumble into the snow dunes as he came to a stop. He shook his head and swiped off the snow that covered his body. He quickly went to his menu with a swipe of his finger and enabled the map. He was about half a day away from Snowfrost if he calculated this right, but he also had foot prints to follow. 

He started to track them down but the further he got away from the cave the harder the snow fell around him and eventually he was unable to continue his investigation as the snow was burying the foot prints with fresh powder. Lindow grit his teeth and was mad at himself he couldn't find whoever that was, even the slightest clue would have been helpful. He kicked the snow in frustration and placed his hands on his hips. His eyes wandered around and he smoothed the peppered hair from his right eye. The crimson cloak around him folded over the length of his body as he lifted the hood up over his face to offer mild protection from the snow, he would begin his long journey back to Snowfrost. 

The two handed swordsman looked around, there didn't seem to be anything else in this little cave besides the refreshing pool of water he just used to wash his face. Picking his feet up and marching along, he kept his hand on the walls once more as to keep balance and to keep track of where he was going. If this cavern or cataclysm turned into a maze, he should be able to eventually find a way out towards an exit. The cavern was dark and he constantly heard the droplets of water falling from the ceiling. He was anxious and nervous about getting out, his health was steadily increasing but he was still in the caution area. Right now, he could not afford another combat scenario. He gulped as he relaxed his mind, he was in far worse than this in real life, bullets flying in every direction, smoke and dust in the room. He had been shot before several times in the shoulder and he always came out alive. And he would do so now. Nodding as to reassure himself, he knew he would be alright. He pushed forward through the blanket of darkness, barely any visible light in front of him as his hand guided him to another corner. He turned with his hand and then there was a laughter. 

"Hahaha..." it echoed off the walls as Lindow turned on a dime and looked around him, studying any sort of movement that would catch his gaze. His hand immediatly went for the Hard Edge on his back and he took stance watching carefully.

"Little prey caught in my web...You Crimson Blades are far to weak to play with us. Especially you...Lindow...Hahahaha..." whoever it was, knew him by name. His teeth grinded against each other as he moved further towards a lighted area, "How about you stop being a coward and show yourself to me?" Lindow egged the man on.

"I don't think so...I am quite content where I stand. But don't worry, your time will eventually come to an end as will your other cloaked brothers and sisters. We'll be keeping an eye on you though, Lindow. There is something about you that is special, but you must survive this hell first before you even think about crossing our path."

The laughter lit up the cavern once more and bounced off the walls as it slowly died out and away from him. Lindow grit his teeth and pushed forward, he found strength in his weak legs and started to run towards the movement of the decaying echoes. With his hand still on the hilt of the blade, he searched through the darkness quickly and ran through corridor after corridor, took turn after turn keeping to the right handed path as he continued. There was something about that voice he did not like, was he in their trap?  

The greying wariror had rested for what seemed like an eternity, the feeling in his legs had finally come back and he could grip his sword with ease. His HP had returned to the yellow, but he would not force himself into any more combat situations. Right now, his priority was standing up and getting the hell out of this place. Once more using the Hard Edge as a crutch, he lifted himself up to his feet but he fell against the wall with one hand leaning on it as he erected his form. he grunted heavily, "Getting...too old for this." he wheezed and caught his breath. Feeling ok to walk, he sheathed the massive blade behind him and started his journey once more. Keeping his hands on the wall, he rounded the corner of the corridor until he came up to another inlet of land. He could see a pool of water, crystal clear in nature and it looked appealing and refreshing. He looked to his left and right, there didn't seem to be anything aggressive in the area. He got towards the edge and dipped his hands in the cool water and splashed it into his face. He rubbed vigourously getting the dark mud and dirt off his face to clean himself. The waters felt soothing to him and he felt more refreshed, there was no healing properties but he knew he needed a nice hot bath when he returned. Standing up, he felt his strength return to hm once again. He was able to stand without so much as a grimace and his armor started to look as lustrous as it had been the firt time. Nodding to himself he set out to find the exit. 

OOC: Due to the nature of this RP and me screwing up royally bad on my part Lindow is pronounced dead from this point on. [8/29/15]

Lindow was gravely injured, and there was no escaping the clutches of death from the spiders that seem to make him his meal. Staggering over his own weapon, the bloodied warrior blinked and found comfort in his upcoming death. Going towards the menu and sliding over the function keys. He sent a message to the first name that appeared on his list: Opal. Quickly succumbing to the pain, he had little time and sent her his message. 

"I was tracking down the ones who were trying to kill the children in Snowfrost, I ended up in a cavern to which I can not escape from. I don't have much time...My location is at the bottom of a cavern at the center cave on Floor Four. My equipment will be there, but I don't know how long. Opal, escape this game with your life. Don't do anything foolish, but be brave and strong. And remember those who died in this Hell...Lindow..."

Motioning his hands away from the menu, the two handed swordsman hefted his blade once more over his shoulders, "Crystal, Jasmine...I am sorry..." He lunged forward and attacked with all his might...in the end, he fought bravely, with courage and died doing what he loved. He'd like to think he protected those of Snowfrost for at least a little while, to his guild...he wished he could have done more for them. The fangs of the spiders dug into his body and sharply cut him...blood seemed to soak out of the armor around him and fell to the floor in pools. His eyes losing life, his body feeling numb. "Calrex...Live!" then he exploded into the digital frontier, free of this Hellish game so that his soul may finaly rest in peace.

"Back!" Lindow grunted swinging his sword like an oaf, he was horribly injured at this time both spiders taking massive chunks of his life points away. He grunted spilling over to the floor gripping his blade, his eyes wondered around and he started to crawl towards the slope. He felt his leg caught by one of the spiders as it sank its fangs into him. He gave a bellowing grunt of pain from his parched lips. He swung his blade one more and missed, the other spider came before him and bit down into him as well, he could feel the fangs just rip pieces of his digital flesh apart as he was bitten. He struggled and ended up slashing the air. The sword came out of his hands went flying towards the spider. The spider lifted its strong leg and deflected the sword into the spiraling darkness beyond the slope. Lindow cursed, mustered the last bit of his strength and dove for the slope. His body crashed into the slippery slide as he was twisted and turned from the downfall. He came crashing down to the floor and fell unconscious. His hands buried underneath him as he fell, his vision blurred before he passed out from the loss of the HP.

The first spider became aggressive once more as it startled Lindow as it moved closer to him. He backed away from the slow and was struck in the belly by one of its armor plated legs, but not before his thorns activated and sunk into its bony exoskeleton. Lindow drew his blade and arced it around and slammed it down towards the ground. He missed his intended target but it was enough of a blow to spook the second spider as it charged then backed away slowly. His eyes were fixed on the two, this battle could not last much longer. He was determined to kill both, but as it appears to be even with the heavy momentum enhancment, his goliath swings were not making any sort of impact on his enemies. He deffinetly needed something with a bit more bite, but that would come in the future. As of now, these two spiders stand in the way of the slope. He could probably manage two more rounds from attacks from both before he had to call it quits. He shook his head, if he had to jump down that slope, he could be sliding into even more trouble.

Lindow pushed froward through the first spider as it meancingly took a step forward and attempted to scare off the human. Lindow was not having any of that and ended up kicking it in the head just to teach it who's boss. It didn't cuase any damage, but he wanted to make sure it knew it was becoming an annoyance. As he swung his blade through the air, he attempted to strike the other spider that was advancing on him. His plated armor once more was struck by the second spider but the activation of his thorns pricked the body of the arachnid as it scurried behind its friend. Lindow was unfortunate as it was able to take another blow to his Hit Points. Rattled by the attack, Lindow had almost slipped. His hand reached forward as he steadied himself and brought his form back up to erect himself. Balancing once more, he readied his blade over his shoulder and grit his teeth.

The first spider blitzed Lindow with a panic as it was clearly injured by the way its attacking pattern had changed. The sharp spear like leg of the insect came forward and jabbed Lindow in the chest, but the heavy plate armor he wore was too much and deflected the impact. Lindow attempted to make a swinging attack with his blade, but the arc was too wide and ended up hitting nothing but the air around him. The swoosh of the blade came back around and landed on his shoulder where he hefted the heavy sword. The second spider charged after him and broke through his defense, causing him to stumble backwards abit from the attack. The Crimson Blades' Grand Secretary was on his last legs as well as he watched his HP bar take another hit. Cursing to himself, which was out of character for him, he soldiered on and took a step forward once more towards the slope. By the next turn he could make a dive attempt for it should thngs get too dangerous.

Most excellent! Glad to have you aboard the forums. Should you have any questions, feel free to let us know. 

As the enemy advanced so did Lindow, he crossed his blade vertically with both hands and the Hard Edge slammed into the ground before him causing the one advancing spider to stop. He turned the blade a quarter and swung once more away from it as he hefted the heavy blade over his shoulder. The insectoid inspected the situation and noticed the armor was glowing once again from his missed attack. Backing up, it pattern changed and ejected a web bullet in his direction. Moving his head quickly to the side he was able to avoid the attack. The spiders seem to chatter back and forth once more as they were planning there next attack. Lindow slammed his blade into the ground and it skid across the flooring with chunks of rock and debris being uplifted into the air causing the insects to back up once again. He advanced on them getting closer to the slope, just in case he had to make that dive. At this time, his armor was pulsating a louder crimson aura around it from the last two misses of his attacks. He hefted the blade ot one shoulder again and took a ready stance to attack at a moments notice.

There was a pain as the first spider broke through his armor and bit down into his leg. He attempted to swing his sword, but the wild nature of his swing caused him to miss. The sharp sting of the bite made him dropp to one knee. The other spider lunged at him with much force and he fell backwards as he was clawed heavily by the thick spear like legs of the insects. His HP quickly dropped down losing a chunk of life. Lindow grit his teeth as he slammed his blade down on the ground and attempted to erect his form. He was now back up to the wall with no where to run. He could still make the slope by taking some damage of the spiders and diving down the shaft. That was one plan he was thinking about doing, this was getting dangerous even with the <<Heavy Momentum>> in place, missing too often would prove fatal. He steeled his nerves and readied his blade once more, his eyes intensified as he steadied his breathing. 

"Alright...it's clear you have the advantage over me...But I won't give in..."

The first of the duo came at him with its fangs seething with a sort of translucent liquid foaming around its mouth. Lindow kicked the fiend in the head as the aura from his armor dispersed signaling he could make an accurate attack and he then buried his sword in its abdomen cutting away as its armor like exoskeleton. Lindow released the arachnid as it hissed and attempted to strike at his feet before moving back for its ally to engage him. The Crimson Blades member turned his blade broadside out as the second spider bounced its head off the surface attempting to take a chunk of his health points by attacking his leg. Sweeping the blade around and creating an arc, it landed on his shoulder. So far so good, the battle was in his favor but these things seemed to be angry and they would not let their meal get away from them so easily should he decide to run. Lindow narrowed his cold eyes over the two spiders, the caverns seem to shake with an ominous feeling of foreboding as he checked his surroundings. He just prayed he would survive this nightmarish battle and find a way out. Already he was in over his head.

The Grand Secretary moved inch by inch attempting to threaten or scare one of them as he waved hiss word with both hands left and right. The first spider got into stance and shot a projectile at him. The spider dart whizzed by his hair cutting a few strands off but missing its attempted target. Lindow was going to come down for a swing and attempt to chop off one of the legs, but as he attempted to do so the other spider engaged him as used its front legs as a spear and jabbed at him. Lindow was able to lift his leg up in time as the spider jabbed and was able to back up another foot away from them. He grunted as the armor started pulse with the readiness of <<Heavy Momentum>>. That was good that the armor was still intact through the heavy worn out battle. The spiders chattered back and forth at one another, their eyes on him as they planned their next strike. Lindow continued to wave his Hard Edge left and right attempting to scare the large arachnids but they didn't seem threated by the large bulky sword.

As soon as Lindow stepped forward both Spiders spun around to face him. Their system protocols engaged him as a threat and their bodies sank low to the ground. The first one stood and spat a ball of spider web at his armor, knocking him back a foot. His Valhalla's Herald took the blow but he still took some damage from the spider. The second one leapt at him with its bouncy, spiny legs and feasted on his face as the creepy crawler snagged a bit of flesh and chomped on the cut away dermis. Lindow yanked the spider off and thrust his blade into the abdomen of the insectoid. It squirmed in place for a moment before knocking his sword back and going back to its team mate. Already he was at a severe disadvantage. He would not hold out like this if they attacked in unison like that. He looked around trying to find some sort of way to fight them off one by one.

Lindow continued his trek through the twisting and winding curves of the cataclysm he fell into. There was nothing but darkness all around him as his heavy plate mail clattered as he walked. He attempted to soften the sound by moving more slowly, but even then it would alarm anything that heard him. Continuing on with his journey, Lindow came to a small would be shrine. Was this part of the game? Hopefully he didn't stumble down in any sort of dungeon, if that was the case looking for a way out took priority, he didn't have the equipment to solo a dungeon like this. 

Shifting his weight, he took care of his movements but also walked quickly along the path. His eyes caught two large spiders that seemed to guard the way to his right, the left seemed to lead to a dead end. He had no choice but to fight his way through, two spiders with his HP. Hopefully they weren't anything he couldn't handle alone. Before he set off to start the battle, Lindow looked down. There was another slope he could go down if things were to get too hairy the only problem was that he didn't know where the slope would take him. He would have to make due with what he had, there was only one way to go and that was to push forward. Steeling his nerves, he engaged combat with the spiders. 

As the Knight walked down the darkened corridors there was evidence of someone being here not too long ago. He could see there was a burned out campfire and some markings and residue on the floor. He knelt down and touched the surface with his gloved hands. His eyes fell to question that who it might have been that was staying here. Perhaps the noise of battle had startled them and they ran away, or they were still here watching him from a distance. Lindow got up to his feet and dusted his gauntlets off. 

"Anyone here that wants to show themselves to me?" he head twisted and his eyes darted with his movements waiting to see if there would be any reply. Moments paced and there was no answer. Lindow sighed and he continued further into the dark maze of the crystal cavern. His silvery eyes set out looking out for any other clues, he was coming close to the exit as he spotted sunlight coming from the end of the exit. As he was walking closer and closer, his foot slipped and the ground broke beneath his feet. He went sliding down a good twenty or thirty feet down the slope and into the inner workings of the cavern. When he came to, he saw only spots of light coming in different directions. Lindow held out to the wall and steadied himself as he got to his feet. He squinted his eyes to see anything and continued walking through the treacherous terrain, there was no way to escape this by going up. 

Lindow arced his blade from one side to the other as the Snow Gremlin furiously charged him once more, with the pitchfork outstretched in his hands the broken weapon seemed to make contact with the armor once more and jarred the Grand Secretary. Standing steadfast, his sword whipped around his body as it glowed that ominous red color once more. He leaned on his foot as he thrust his blade forward like a rapier held with both hands. There was an explosion of light for a moment as the pure volume of the strike seemed to hit the creature four times before blowing it back into oblivion. The victory was Lindows as he soun his sword with one hand and sheathed it to his back. He nodded and dusted his hands off, he was ready to continue into the cavern once more.

As the Snow Gremlin was going for its next attack, Valhalla's Herald's aura dispersed as the slashing motion of his Hard Edge came cutting through the air towards it. The Gremlin spun around and was knocked several feet back from the weighty blade. It landed in a pile of rubble as Lindow smiled happy with the special enhancements made to the armor. The Gremlin was slow to get up out of the rubble as several spiky shards of rock came falling down from the ceiling and sticking into the dark earth floor. Lindow dragged his blade across his other side and readied himself for another strike. The pitchfork of the gremlin seemed broken and bent as the creature got to its feet and stammered off in a language he didn't know. It was evident that the creature was angry and was going to make him pay for his crimes. Laughing to himself, Lord Lindow addressed his foe with a gesture with his hand.

The Snow Gremlin was enraged as it stomped its foot down on the ground. Making ready its pitchfork, it sped across the slippery cave with ease going full throttle at Lindow. He couldn't keep up with the little menace and he was caught flat footed as he was backing up. The Gremlin charged with its pitchfork in front of it as a hurricane of thrusts impaled Lindow as the metal spikes penetrated the heavy armor and struck him heavily. The Knightly Lindow fell to his knees and swiped his sword at the enemy but could not manage a hit. His armor pulsated as his attack missed and initiated the <<Heavy Momentum>> enhancement of his armor. Getting up with a slight stagger, he rubbed his chin with his gloved hands and once more readied the HardEdge over his shoulder. He smiled, this time missing didn't become such a bad idea after all.

"Alright, Lenneth. I'm making my rounds. Don't get into any trouble!" Lindow waved, his Crimson Blades cloak billowed out behind him as he moved in the wintry town before him. He took noticed of the people that were standing about, he took notice of the smaller things as he kept a sharp on everything and everyone. He helped a villager or two along the way with some simple chores and then went on his way. It took about an hour to circle the town and another to go through the streets to make sure everything was proper. After that he started to leave the edge of the safe zone and was wandering out towards the crystal caverns once more to find any hints on this PK guild. 

Lindow found the cave he found Lenneth in, he remembered that grizzly fight with the Rock Beast which was not pleasent with his current gear. But he was a little more prepared now and he shuttled himself inside. He kept along the walls as he came up to an inlet where he battled that goliath of a beast. He remembered being pinned and almost dieing here, and he shook his head free of those thoughts. He smoothed out the peppered hair as it swept towards his eyes. He went forward still and found a snow gremlin with a pitch fork in hand hopping side to side near the wall. 

Lindow whistled for it's attention, now was good time to see what this new armor could do for him. Hefting the massive blade HardEdge to his shoulder, he squared his body and slid his foot into stance. His overcast grey eyes narrowed slightly as he targeted the fiend. His blade began to glow an ominous red color signifying an skilled attack combo to be initiated. Like a flurry of red from his billowing cloak, his thunderous steps ripped through the ground as he swung his mighty blade down towards the enemy catching it by surprise. The heavy blade came down and cracked through the skull of the Gremlin and then was lifted into the air and came back down again to finish the strike. Lindow swept his blade across for a slash to execute the second part and sundered the creature's belly. It howled with pain as Lindow took a step back to ready his next assault. So far the <<Heavy Momentum>> has yet to take action.

A week had passed since the eventful evening on Floor Four where a mysterious player garbed in an obsidian cloak had proclaimed to be a PKer from a type of child killing PK guild and he had marked Lindow and the Crimson Blades as enemies. Lindow decided he would stay here on floor four to help protect and patrol Snowfrost citizens from these unrully PKers. Thus after meeting up with his guild and explaining the situation to them, he has once more come back to stay in Snowfrost if only to help with the protection of the city. As a Crimson Blades member, it was a duty he enjoyed doing as it made him feel more at ease with himself as being a former police officer. 

"Lindow! You are back!" the little girl he had saved that long week had returned by his side as if nothing had happened to her, she wore a brilliant smile as bright as the color of the sun. With a happy nod, he knelt down to see her, "How are things, Lenneth? Has there been any trouble recently?" 

"It's been rather quiet, and I was out picking herbs with a few others this morning. Unfortunatly, I don't think I found anything suitable to help you out on your adventures."

The little girl has been promising to keep an eye out for special ores on her material hunting expeditions, it seemed like she didn't find anything this time around. He placed a hand on her head and shook her hair, "I'm glad you are doing well. I'm gonna go patrol the area and make sure everything is alright. I'll probably head off to that cave and see if I can find any more clues. Think you can send me a message if any suspicious happens?" Lindow asked. 

"Yes, sir!" 

He gave a wink and smiled as he stood up, as he did so she realized he had changed his armor. The crimson leather tunic and vest of his starting gear was replaced by a replendid looking suit of armor. It made him more knightly looking, "Lord Lindow!" she joked teasingly as she placed a palm on the cool exterior of the metal plates.
