[SP- F3] Let The Hunt Begin <<Escape>> COMPLETE

[Jomei 0]

"...ngh..."

It was dark, where ever the hell he was. Last thing he remembered, he was checking out the camp of some bandits on just outside of Florenthia village when suddenly.. everything went dark. As he took in a deep breath, he felt the disgusting taste of a dirty, burlap sack enter his mouth, causing him to cough. He tried to pull his hands up to his head to free himself of the sack, but soon realized that his hands were bound and could not move more than a couple of inches, the same went for his ankles. Seconds later, he felt someone grab at the bag on his hand and yank it off. At least now he had a little bit more of an idea of what was going on.

Standing in front of him were three men, two of them obviously bandits, each of them holding daggers in their hands. In the middle of them stood a man of similar dress, but seemed to hold himself in much more of a higher position. On his waist was a long chain with a black leather handle, and despite being an older looking man with hair beginning to gray, he was large. Could almost give Mack a run for his money. He had a [censored]-eating grin on his lips and he was chuckling, shaking his head at Jomei.

The Irishman kept quiet for the moment, his olive green eyes glaring up at the man who was clearly taller than him, observing as much as he could about him. For now, he kept calm, until he found out just what was going on. "What the hell is going on?" Jomei said, not breaking eye contact with the man.

The man stepped forward, "Why... you're my guest." he extended out his arms to the side. Jomei returned with a smirk, "Oh, what an honor." he said sarcastically. The man laughed, "Trust me.. It is.." He then brought up his large, black leather boot and kicked Jomei in the chest, sending both him and the chair he was bound to crashing into the ground a couple of feet behind him. Jomei's head cracked into the ground, causing him to grunt. He lifted his head up, struggling to look over at the man, his dangling legs in the way of a perfect view. The large man turned to the other two guards, "Leave us." and in moments, the two other guards opened the door to the cell they were in and ran off down the hall out of view.

"I am the warden of this prison here... and you, my puny friend, were caught trying to sneak into one of our brother camps outside. So now you have the pleasure of getting to rot in this cozy cell." The man walked up to Jomei and stood over him for a moment, before grabbing his chest, clenching the ragged clothes he wore instead of his armor. Without exerting much energy at all, the man picked up Jomei and put his chair back into a regular sitting position. "Or.... you can play my little game." 

"....what game?" Jomei said sternly.

The man laughed, "I knew you would be interested." The warden grabbed another chair from the corner of the room and he placed it in front of Jomei, sitting down. "I will unbound you and leave this cell.. You must then find a way to escape the cell. My men do not know about this.. so to them, it would be a prison break. And to use excessive force. If you can find your way out, you are free to go."  

Jomei raised a sharp brow, "..And whats the catch?" 

The man lowered his head and let out an evil bellow, "I enjoy the hunt.."

[Jomei 0]

Jomei looked at the man, thinking about what he should do. He obviously could not just sit in this cell. His best bet of getting out of here would be to play the man's game. Jomei opened his mouth to speak, but heard the soft chime of bells, signaling a menu box opened. In front of his face was a message that read <Escape: Accept Quest?> Jomei closed his eyes and smirked, "Figured as much.." he said under his breath. "Alright.. I'll play your game warden.." 

The warden stood up from the chair with a confident grin on his face, "Good good.... they usually do." The warden turned around to look out of the cell to make sure that there were no guards walking by. He then walked behind Jomei and pulled out a knife, cutting apart all of the ropes that bound him. 

[Jomei 0]

"I'll have you know.... despite everyone being offered the chance to escape... no one ever has." The warden cut the last rope that kept Jomei secured to the chair he sat in, "Now.. sit tight and wait for me to leave the cell.. If you try anything I'll cut you down where you stand." The man walked backwards from Jomei to make sure he was not planning on running just yet. With one last smirk, he turned around and opened the cell. Jomei closed his eyes and took a deep breath, concentrating on the sound of the lock mechanism of the cell. As soon as he heard the large 'chunk' of the door unlocking, Jomei leapt out of the chair and used his <Charge> skill to repel forward. But the Warden was faster, and he quickly swung open the cell door to leave, slamming it shut before Jomei could reach him. With the momentum of his speed carrying him forward, Jomei crashed into the cell door, causing the warden to break out in laughter as he walked off. 

Jomei stepped back, hand on his head that plowed into the cell door. He looked at the door for a moment before walking back up to it and pushing on it, noticing that it was a little loose. The warden had not locked it up securely enough. If he threw himself into the door a couple more times, he should be able to knock it down.

Jomei looked up and down the hallway out of the cell to make sure that there were no guards walking his way. Like the warden said, to them, it would be an actual breakout. And without his gear he would most likely be killed rather quickly. Once he saw the coast was clear, he walked backwards towards the chair again. Once again using his charge skill, Jomei took off running forward with his shoulder taking the lead, as he normally would tackle a mob when he used the skill. A second later, Jomei's shoulder crashed into the cell door, obviously making a dent in the cell bars. He grunted and rotated his shoulder, which would most likely be broken in the real world from doing this. He pushed on the cell door again, realizing that he had knocked one of the mechanisms keeping it shut loose. If he were smaller, he would probably have been able to climb through the opening.

Jomei let out a heavy sigh.. he needed to exert a lot of energy to take down this door. If he had put time into his Martial Arts skill like Calrex, maybe this would be a lot easier for him. But for now, the skill was only a placeholder, collecting digital dust in his list of abilities. For now, he would need to deal with what he had.. which was nothing but his own strength. He took a couple of steps backwards, slowly, before sitting back down in the chair to catch his breath. He shook his head, wondering just how he got himself into this situation. He was on Floor Three for God's sake.. the NPC's there were barely able to make a scratch on his armor, let along knock him out and imprison him. He clenched his fists and stood back up, charging one more time into the cell door, just the same as he did last time. Again, he noticed another bit of the door being knocked off the hinges. One more good hit and the door should fall off.

3/4

[Jomei 0]

Jomei did not waste any time with the final attack on the door. He quickly hopped backwards and used his charge skill one more time, throwing himself into the bars. The door flew off the hinges, with Jomei right behind it, and crashed into the floor. The sound of the metal hitting the stone floor resonated throughout the many cells and halls around him. Surely and guards in the area would have heard it, and would most likely be headed his way soon. He needed to act fast. Pushing himself up off of the downed gate, he frantically looked around for any sort of thing he could use to defend himself. At the moment, he was dressed in a dirty, worn sleeveless shirt, and a pair of brown pants torn to his calves. He did not have anything to protect his hands or feet, or a weapon to use.  "[censored]... this isn't good.."

4/4 (Cell door is open)

Jomei stopped and felt sweat accumulate on his forehead when he heard the muffled sounds of guards far down the hall. They had heard the sound of the door crashing into the ground, but then again.. who couldn't. Jomei turned to look down the hall where he heard the voices coming from, when he noticed a small desk lit up by a torch next to it and a candle on the table. On top of the desk, he saw a large chest, a familiar black and red rapier leaning up against it. "That must be my armor." Jomei said to himself before sneaking up to the desk. He grabbed at the rapier, the sword disappearing as it was placed into his inventory. He then turned his body to the chest on the desk. Upon opening it, he recognized the familiar black and green attire sitting on top of all of his other items. The man looted the chest, which took a couple of seconds. He needed to wait for all of the items to go into his inventory, followed by his col and materials.

[Jomei 0]

"Come on come on..." Jomei said as he watched the contents of the chest empty and his inventory fill up with them. Finally, Jomei saw the words <Chest Empty> appear in place of the item box, meaning he now had all of his original items again. He quickly opened up his inventory and began to scroll through his items getting them all ready to equip. From down the hall, he heard the sound of pounding foot steps, the boots of the bandits as they ran down the hall to find Jomei not in his cell.

"You there, stop!" The bandit yelled out as the two stood there with their spears after running towards Jomei.

The Irish man looked at them with a smirk through his menu box, "Sorry, lads." With a couple of taps on his inventory, Jomei was engulfed in a white light. Seconds later, the light dissipated, and the man was dressed in his green long sleeved shirt, topped with his black leather armor, and the small cape draping from his shoulder. He then brought his hand down to grab at the red scabbard that held his rapier as it materialized. "I don't plan on going quietly."

[Jomei 0]

Jomei reached his right hand across his body, wrapping his fingers around the wrapped handle of Saint Andrew's Bane. With the sound of metal scraping against the scabbard, Jomei had pulled the sword out and held it pointing forward at the bandits. The two exchanged words, which only sounded like mumbling to the rapier wielder before they both charged him, holding their spears in two hands. Jomei stepped forward to jab at the bandit, but with the length of the spear, he knew he needed to defend first. He twisted his wrist and brought the rapier upward, the blade crashing against the upper part of the spear's handle. Quickly looking over his shoulder, Jomei saw the other bandit swing the long weapon, looking to hit him in the back. Jomei  brought his arms past his head, the blade of his sword extending down his back and pointing towards the ground, intercepting the spear head from slashing at his back.

Jomei found himself trapped with his arms over his head as he fought against the pressure of the one guard's spear pressing into his rapier. The other guard had stepped back and ran forward at Jomei, his spear lowered and pointed at Jomei's chest. The Irishman took a deep breath and bent his knees before launching upwards and flipping over the guard that was behind him. As the man hovered over the head of the head of the one bandit, the momentum of the other guard carried him straight into the one that stood behind Jomei, the spear stabbing into his shoulder. 

"What the hell?!" The bandit yelled as the spear went into his shoulder. 

Once Jomei hit the floor, he charged up his Accel Stub attack, stabbing the one bandit three times in the upper back. The bandit let out a cry of pain before turning into white crystals and freeing the other's spear.

"You should really be more careful with that thing.." Jomei said with a smirk, "You might hurt someone." 

"You cocky asshole." The guard said to him, grinding his teeth together and wrapping his fingers tightly around the handle of his spear. The bandit then lunged forward with a barrage of jabs and slashes with his spear, all that were easily dodged by Jomei and his heightened evasion. Jomei's body danced from side to side as he sidestepped the attacks, making approaches on the bandit who was walking backwards from Jomei.

[censored].. this guy is pretty fast with that spear.. won't even give me a chance to attack him. Jomei found himself struggling more and more to dodge the attacks, so he began to resort to deflecting the spear's tip with his rapier. He used his sword to knock the elongated weapon from side to side, avoiding being hit by the sharp blade. Catching Jomei off guard, the bandit took a step forward and swung the backside of his spear at Jomei. The Irishman quickly threw his rapier to the side to catch the handle, but it was too quick for him and it knocked the sword from his hands. Jomei's eyes widened as the bandit spun the rapier around, attacking him from above. To defend himself, Jomei quickly threw both of his arms up, the leather bracers catching the spear before it could crash into him.

"Ngh.. dammit.." Jomei said through grit teeth as he was brought to his knees from the weight of the bandit's spear. His olive green eyes looked at the spear head above him as it quivered between his wrists. He then looked over at the man behind the weapon, a large grin on his face as he lowered Jomei to the ground. Jomei then twisted his arm and grabbed the spear in one hand. He pulled the man towards him, throwing him off guard, giving Jomei the chance to roll out of the way past him. As he watched the man struggle to get back up. Jomei raced to where his rapier laid on the floor.

Jomei stumbled forward to grab his rapier, only to have his feet swept out from under him by the handle of the bandit's rapier. Jomei's body crashed into the stone floor and he quickly pushed himself up into a kneeling position, spinning around to get a look at the bandit. In the same instant he caught a glimpse of his enemy, he saw that he had the spear held up far over his head, about to bring it down on top of Jomei's head. }The irish man quickly charged up his Accel Stub attack and pierced his sword upward, riddling the bandit's chest with multiple holes. The guard fell to the floor, and shattered into white data fragments like a piece of glass. Jomei stood up and sighed, "Alright.. now I need to find a way out of here.."

Jomei returned his sword to its place on the scabbard on his waist. The man then looked around him for any sign on an exit, for at the moment he found himself at a three-way intersection. The one hallway where the desk and chest were located, led down to another hall that seemed to extend in both directions. The hall that his cell was part of also extended down. On his left, he saw the hall eventually ended with a wall, nothing more then cells lining the walls. In the other direction, there was a slight light, meaning that there were torches lit and leading to another hallway. Jomei quietly ran forward down the first hall running perpendicular to the cell blocks. He hugged the wall and peeked around to see if there were any guards blocking his path.. "Damn.. I wish I was Lowe right now with his sneak skill..."

Jomei looked around the corner and saw that there were no guards looking in his direction. At the far end of the hall, however, he noticed two guards conversing. They were too far away to find out what they were talking about.. but they seemed preoccupied enough for Jomei to run in the opposite direction. Lowering his body so he could move more stealthily, Jomei began to run to the opposite wall, hugging one side so he could hide himself a bit more. He moved quickly and quietly.. enough for his lack of stealth skills at least. If those guards were any closer, they most likely would hear Jomei's movements.

After what felt like forever, Jomei finally reached the end of the hallway. He quickly switched walls so he could peek around the corner again for any guards in the area. Jomei pressed his hands against the stone wall and slowly leaned to the side to see. Around the corner were no guards, but instead a door. "Damn..." Jomei said softly to himself. There were no windows or cracks of any kind. Opening it was his only option at the moment. He reached his hand out and grabbed onto the handle, slowly turning it to open. What he did not expect was the loud creak that came with the door opening. 
"Hey what was that?" Jomei heard from the other end of the hall, followed by the pounding boots of the two guards.
