Sand Lurker Combat Roll - Attacking Keith

[Guest]

Keith saw the Sand Lurker was starting to falter, and he took the opportunity to go in once more for an attack. Most players wouldn't have been able to react as quickly, but Keith was one of, if not already, the fastest moving player in the game. He got a foot hold on a rock and leaped up, slowly easing his sword from his shoulder and going into a spiral, making his sword a slashing turbine as he got closer to the Lurker at high speed.

Keith went into an array of slashes as he went back to the ground, his katana piercing through the Sand Lurker as he delivered a chain of cuts faster than the Lurker could even register it was being hit. The Lurker had braced itself for the attack, and seemed to realize that Keith focused on small, rapid attacks instead of large, singular ones.

Keith attacks Sand Lurker

[Daeron 1]

Daeron feeling slightly injured from the attack's explosion, got back up without a hassle. The impact of the blow didn't hurt nearly as much as it looked. Daeron recovered quickly and went in for another strike. "Keith what was that tremble?" Daeron was a little nervous over the tremble, not the monster itself. He instead of thinking about it, went in for yet another strike. This time aiming more towards its head.

Unfortunately, the lurker knew something was incoming. It began using the sand as a type of forcefield for detecting future moves it seems. Therefore, the lurker moved to the left avoiding the attack, and by what Daeron could tell, it was ready to strike again.

Keith: 49/49

Daeron: 20/21

Sand Lurker: 11/17

The lurker's cry was still sharp from Keith's hit. Registering his attack patterns. The beast however jumped up out of the sand and went in for another strike on the players, again aiming for both at the same time.

Once again, it crashed into the sand. The impact was avoided by both players. However, before the lurker was completely embedded in the sand again, its tail whipped to the side, hitting Daeron another distance away to the ground.

Combat Dice Roll - Attacking Keith

[Guest]

Keith did an abrupt dash out of harm's way and looked up at the monster. "Alright buddy, you asked for it! Because I'm going to finish you!" He charged his katana again and rocketed towards the Lurker with immense speed, bringing his sword forward in a thrust.

Keith carved and slashed the monster as a clap of a sonic boom echoed through the desert. He rapidly cut the beast again, and again, picking up more speed as he cut and slashed. He kept slashing and eventually got an extreme count of slashes in on it, causing immense damage.

Keith: 49/49

Daeron: 19/21

Sand Lurker: 9/17

Keith attacks Sand Lurker

[Daeron 1]

Daeron got up to see Keith slashing away at the behemoth. It was like he didn't want this thing to live anymore, and to be honest, neither did Daeron. Therefore, Daeron sprung to his feet again, ignoring any harm he has taken from the monster. He picked up the sword he dropped from being hit, and rushed in scraping his blade along the sand. "TAKE THIS YOU BASTARD!" Daeron shouted, ready to finish off this monster with any hit.

Daeron swung up at the monster, and back down slashing away at it's body with complete bloodlust. Something was taking over Daeron's body and it wasn't something good. The lurker screeched louder than before. But before Daeron could finish the final slash on the beast, it went into the sand and the line of it's tail crept away from the two players, Daeron and Keith.

Keith: 49/49

Daeron: 19/21

Keith wiped his sleeve on his forehead and smiled at Daeron. "And THAT is how you handle a monster of a problem. Now, let's get out of here before that Lurker comes back with buddies." Keith and Daeron made their way through the sands, already immensely close to the factory, they could see the large bronze door to some sort of castle/factory hybrid, it was a stone palace, with pipes, smokestacks, pistons, and gears all over it. And then the players reached the door.

[Daeron 1]

Daeron stopped and turned towards his friend. "Well.... we're here, we did the impossible right? So how do we get inside of this place? I thought it was impossible to find." Daeron said mixing up details from Keith's words earlier. Daeron stared at the door and high fived it, tried a few useless words that sounded like he was cussing a person out in Swahilian, and then he also tried to have a staring contest with it, of course losing due to the fact there was sunlight in his eyes.... and that he was trying to beat a wall... "Well buddy, I'm all out of ideas." Daeron said with a serious impression in his voice.

[Guest]

Keith walked up to the door and tilted his head as he looked at it. "Maybe there's a doorbell..? Or we could always try knocking." Keith hit his hand against the large bronze doors a few times and of course, nothing happened. Keith sighed and leaned his back against it. "För helvete ..." He murmured under his breath, until he staggered backwards as the door slowly groaned open. "...Well! Let's go!"

[Daeron 1]

Daeron turned his head towards Keith with the most confused expression ever. "What the hell did you just mumble?" Daeron asked Keith. Either way, it was one step closer to finding the insides of this factory. "Ohhhhh...." Daeron said as he marvelled at the old abandoned structure of the desert. It looks like nobody had been there in ages. Daeron was able to smell the red rust on the metal from feet away, and could hear the metal clanking together here and there from something one of the two players kicked on the ground without intention. "So do you know anything else about this place?" Daeron asked Keith as he stopped in front of an assembly line.

[Guest]

Keith smelled oil and metal all through the factory, and he saw an assembly line with mechanical parts all over it. He picked up a robotic arm and scratched his back with it. "I don't know much... Just that it seems like this whole place has a whole, clockwork meets robot theme going for it." He patted Daeron on the shoulder with the robot hand and chuckled. "Let's keep going, shall we?"

[Daeron 1]

Daeron continue to walk around with his friend exploring the deep cave enjoying a few laughs here and there. Eventually, what appeared to be very sudden, the building darkened quickly. The room was actually so dark he couldn't see Keith's face anymore. Daeron had either not noticed the transition from light to dark, or it actually got dark in an instance. "Keith, did you blindfold me or something you cheeky guy?" Daeron asked Keith, hoping it was only a joke. Instead, he heard silence. There was no longer a sound around him... "Keith, stop playing games, where the heck did you go?" he asks again loudly. Once Daeron's eyes finally adjusted to the pitch black room, he saw he was in the room alone. There was no sign of Keith and the only thing he heard was, Your screams won't be heard by your friend... in his head as if he was thinking it.

[Guest]

Keith couldn't hear Daeron over what he saw in the darkness. Even in the grim light, he saw something irresistible in front of him. A shiny object. He kept walking towards it and eventually grabbed it, pulling it. "Maybe it's a light switch..?" He said to himself. Lights flashed on, revealing what looked like a huge room with the floor surrounded by lava in a ring shape. Pipes hissed and pistons began to pump as a large figure moved out of a large copper frame. It stomped, and creaked as it moved. It then came into view and hissed with steam as it stared at the two players.
