[F2-SP] Searching for a flower in the dark. <<Let There Be Light>>

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Taking a job from the quest board, Nikodemus let a frown cross his face. Reading that a young child was lost in a cave on floor 2, Nikodemus did not want to leave a helpless child to that kind of a fate. moving along floor 7, he made it to the teleport gate and called out his destination. Within a few moments, he found himself on floor 2 in the main settlement. With a sigh, he went to the NPC quest giver and accepted the quest in a hurried pace. After he had accepted it, he then turned and left the town, and the safezone heading toward the area marked by the quest. With a sigh, he looked at his gear and made sure he was ready for a battle. After an hour of walking, he found himself before a cave and tried to peer inside, but could see nothing. With a grumble, he began walking inside. Calling the young girls name, he began to search for her, but stumbled and tripped here and there. He finally put one hand on the wall and decided to us it to as a guide to keep him braced and standing.

coming through the cave, Nikodemus heard the sound of 2 large bats screeching. With a painful hit, he felt them slam into him and hurt him. Stumbling a bit, he heard where they had flitted to, and charged his Sword Art <Tomahawk Thrust> and tossed his axe, letting it boomerang around the cave, striking the 2 bats and wounding them badly. They both fell to the ground and flapped around, then lifted themselves once more into the air and began to screech more. with a sigh, Nikodemus cursed that he hadn't brought them down yet. Preparing himself to strike once more, Nikodemus also raised his shield and prepared for the assault.

Waiting, he listened to the bats screech above and prepared to strike, but they did not come. With a fight, he swung about a couple times, but hit nothing. sighing, he decided to relax and let the bats come for him. He listened to the air around him, but heard nothing. After a time, he relaxed and waited for a moment. He realized that the bats had landed on the ceiling and were waiting for him to stumble again. Every moment or so a screech echoed out, as they were watching him with their echo location. sighing again, Nikodeus prepared to swing once more.

With a sigh, Nikodemus decided to strike out at the bats. Lunging forward, he swung his axe and tried to strike one, or both, of the bats. Sadly. he missed, and came crashing down and hit hard on the ground. With a growl, he sighed and then felt the stinging slash of the two large bats hit him in the back. Lashing about, he tried to hit them once again. Grumbling, he missed again. With a curse, he shouted and then tried to relax once again and clear his mind. Once again, he sighed and tried to hear the bats land on their perch once more so he could strike them.

Not hearing anything for a time, Nikodemus wondered if the Bats had given up, or were perched once more just away from him. With a growl, he closed his eyes and decided to try and use his <Meditation> to calm himself. Taking deep breaths in and out, Nikodemus relaxed his mind and opened his senses to the world around him. He heard the dripping of water, the slight hum of cave dwelling bugs moving about, the slight shifting of clawed appendages gripping stone hard. With a smirk, Nikodemus realized that the bats were fairly close to him, and were not moving until he did so. Continuing to breath, he wondered if he could move silently and get close to them to strike, but he doubted it in the darkness. With a sigh, he let the thought leave him and continued to meditate.

Deciding to try and attack, Nikodemus focused on where he thought the bats were and then struck with his axe. The blade sliced through the air and then came into contact with a chunk of stone that was hanging from the ceiling. No bats were there, and the blade struck minor sparks from it. His eyes narrowed as he heard the flap of wings, but it was far to late. The bats came in from his left and struck, clawing at his helmet and shoulder plate. With a grunt, Nikodemus turned his head, and his armor activated it's <Thorns> effect, sending a damaging buff through the Bats, turning them both to pixels. With a sigh of relief, Nikodemus shook himself free of his spot and began moving down the cave.

Moving down the way, Nikodemus came to a branch in the path and chose one. Heading down it for some time he kept one hand on the wall for stability as he stepped carefully over the uneven floor. His other hand held his shield out to prod the air before him for any hanging rocks that loomed in the dark for him to dash his brains out upon. After a moment of travel, Nikodemus found himself in a circular chamber, a dead end, and heard the flapping of wings. Turning around hard, he brought his axe from it's sheath and swung, striking a bat out of the air and onto the ground. This one was not large, most likely a minor one that had been in the cave. With a sigh, he realized the beast had not turned to pixels, so it was still alive. With his axe and shield at the ready, he stood stock still and prepared for the beast to come in at him again.

Using his <Concentration> skill, Nikodemus charged in to where the bat had lifted itself from the ground. Feeling the slight whisper of wings before him, Nikodemus swung his axe one more and clipped the beasts side, causing it to screech. With a a start, he felt the claws of the beast scrap against his helmet as it had lashed out immediately and tried to take his eyes out. If not for his armor, he would have been blinded. With a quick step back, Nikodemus prepared to strike once more, trying to keep himself calm and ready for the next pass of attacks between himself and the bat.

With a quick slashing maneuver, Nikodemus brought his axe around in sweeping arcs, trying to hit the beast before him.  Each swing missed, and the air whistled with each one, ringing the failure of his moves. As he brought his axe back for another swing, he felt the air around him shift as the Bat came in, trying to claw him again, Moving his head to the left, he felt the tip of a wing glance his helmet slightly as the bat came by. With a start, Nikodemus brought his shield up and prepared himself to knock the thing from the air with it, and then finish it with a downward chop. Cursing himself for not being better prepared, Nikodemus glanced about for any sign of the bat in the darkness.

With a calm mind, Nikodemus stood his ground, shield up to guard him, axe in his right hand ready to strike. Taking deep breaths, he let the cool air of the cave fill his lungs and enjoyed the feeling of the moisture rich cool air as it passed his lips. His eyes tried to adjust to the gloom, but they failed as the darkness around him was not natural. After a moment, Nikodemus felt the familiar shift of wind as the Bat came in for an attack. Guessing where it was, Nikodemus spun on the spot and brought his shield around in a bash, knocking the beast back. With it stunned momentarily, Nikodemus swung his axe and clipped the furry creature in the side, feeling the blade sink in deep and pass through the other side. He knew the beast would not be long for the world. Stepping back, he prepared himself for the next pass of attacks and prayed these would be the last. With a smile, he felt hte <Regen> on his armor activate and heal him. Breathing deep again, Nikodemus smiled and was happy to feel the strength return to his limbs.

Tired of the fight, Nikodemus charged in and swung his axe where the bat had last been, Nikodemus smirked as his axe sliced through the bat in one final blow. The creature burst into pixels and vanished before his eyes. With a smile, Nikodemus was glad to be done with the beast. Sitting down, Nikodemus took decided to rest for a time. Closing his eyes he decided to listen to the cave about him to ensure nothing got the jump on him. Hearing the sounds of the cave all around him, he picked out the natural sounds from the ones that were made by external entities. The scrap of bat claws on stone and the flap of wings and the sounds of soft sobbing far off in the distance. The young child was nearby. with a sigh of relief, Nikodemus stood and began walking towards where the child should be.

Moving down the cave, Nikodemus sighed as his fingers grasped the wall and kept him standing. His feet shifted slightly on the uneven stones, and Nikodemus sighed with each one. Feeling his way down the cave path, he finally came to the split. With a smile, he turned to the other branch and headed his way down. With his shield out he guided himself down the path and made sure he was out of range of any large rocks that may leave him witha  sore head. He heard the sobs of the young child grow louder as he made his way down the cave. With a smile, he was glad to be so near and almost home free

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Moving along the cave corridor, Nikodemus grumbled as he began to feel small drops of something fall and land upon his armor, splashing and spreading across it's surface. Grumbling about hopes of it being simply water and hating bats passed his lips as he headed down further. The ground began to slope downward at a slight degree, making the once unstable footing nigh impossible to manage without holding to the wall for more than simple stability. With armored fingers, Nikodemus gripped the small cracks and crevices tightly and made sure they were wedged tightly within. With exertion, Nikodemus made his way steadily down the incline

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

Near the bottom, his fingers lost their strength momentarily and Nikodemus lost his footing. With a start, he came crashing down the incline for 3 feet, bounding from the floor and walls here and there before landing in a crumpled heap at the bottom. With a cruse he rose to his feet shakily and inspected himself. To his surprise, no major damage had been sustained to his armor, and he lacked major trauma. Minor cuts and bruises would be about his body where some rocks had slipped past the seams of his armor and scraped him, but he was fine none the less. Moving along the new corridor, Nikodemus kept his hand out against the cool stone of the natural corridors to guide him, his shield darting about before him to signal a stone or hanging rock is near.

[Nikodemus_Blackwood 1]

After walking through the corridors for some time, Nikodemus heard the sounds of the young child sobbing louder than ever. 'The poor thing must be down here, around the bend. Here is hope that they are unharmed and we can make good time back.' continuing down the corridor, Nikodemus kept feeling the wall for balance. After a time, Nikodemus found himself in a large chamber. A large stone was in the center of the room, and huddled upon it was a small child sobbing loudly. Her raven black hair hung about her heaving shoulders and tears streamed down her face. Above here were two large <Giant Bats> awaiting for her to move. With a sigh, Nikodemus prepared his axe for the battle to come.

Preparing himself, Nikodemus launched from his spot and soared through the air. hurling his axe, it spun through the air and sliced through both large bats, then returned to him. Catching it, he landed and tucked into a roll. After rolling, Nikodemus stood and came up next to the large rock, and put his arm around the small child, tugging her to the ground. "It is going to be ok little one. I have you! Stay low!" With his shield, he swatted at the 2 <Giant Bats> that came for them. Knocking one aside, the other one turned and flitted up to the ceiling once again. The young child continued to weep and sob. Placing his hand on her head, Nikodemus smiled. "It is ok. Do not worry. I have you protected and safe."

Hearing the <Giant Bats> about his and the young childs head, Nikodemus once more swung his axe at the creatures. With a sigh, he felt his blade hiss through the air and miss them. With a grumble, Nikodemus kept himself low and covered the young girl to protect her as the <Giant Bats> attempted to attack them. Batting them away again, Nikodemus tried to peer out, but saw nothing but darkness. With the darkness blocking everything, Nikodemus wanted to curse heavily, but refrained from it. Looking to the young child, Nikodemus smiled, but knew that she would probably not see it.

With a growl, Nikodemus stood and swung his axe hard, it's blade glowing a sickly emerald color. As it connected with one of the <Giant Bats>, Nikodemus yelled in joy! A moment later he felt the claws of both <Giant Bats> rake his chest plate. He winced at the pain as one claw pierced past a seam in his armor and tore through his flesh. His armor absorbed the damage, and it activated his <Thorns> effect, tearing through both beasts. One fell immediately and burst into pixels, the other tried to raise up to the ceiling, but struggled. Leaning down, Nikodemus ran a hand across the young girls cheek and assured her he was still there and ok.

The remaining <Giant Bat> came in fast and hard, slicing past Nikodemus and raking it's claws across his helmet. With a growl, Nikodemus felt the hit and was shaken. Turning with the beast, Nikodemus tried to attack it. Swinging his axe at it fast, he let loose a curse as the blade slipped below the creatures body and missed it by a fingers breadth. Stepping back to where the young child was, Nikodemus leaned down and put his shield up, trying to protect her more than himself. Scanning about, he hoped to see the beast as it came in again.

While scanning for the <Giant Bat>, Nikodemus saw it burst from a dark corner in time. Ducking, he tried to cut the beast from the air, nut missed as it darted past. Turning, he was able to see the beast returning back and he ducked once more to avoid the claws coming at his face. As he turned with the beast, he tried to swing once more and strike the bat as it flew by. Missing once again, he growled and then crouched down again to protect the small child. "Keep low. This should be over soon... I hope..."
