Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #82 Share Posted April 25, 2014 The Minotaur was about to try one last, desperate attack. Charging its fists with harsh orange light, it attempted to bring them together in a clap that would pop Kane's head like a grape if it connected! ----------------------- Kane's <> came in handy at this exact moment. Reflexively dropping his sword, he caught the Minotaur's hands in his gauntlets, keeping his head intact. Kane: 11/17 Boss: 1/23 Link to post Share on other sites

Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #84 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Drawing his last dagger with his one free hand, Kane rushed forward, attempting to bury it in the Minotaur's heart for the final blow! ----------------- The dagger struck true! The Minotaur roared and staggered as its HP bar reached zero. It let out a mournful bellow, almost sounding like a sad moo as it burst into a million crystal fragments. Kane sunk to his knee, still injured. Finally, he had won. Superimposed in the air came the message: <> Left in the Minotaur's place was an item drop bubble. Kane was able to access it from his position, and the item list appeared in the air: 4x Minotaur Hide: Cloth Crafting Material 2x Minotaur Horns: Weapon Crafting Material Link to post Share on other sites

Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #86 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Kane lay down on the ground, now alone in the middle of the forest in front of the Tomb of Minos. He began to use deep breathing, employing his <>. He sat and waited, watching his HP bar slowly fill back up as his connection with the earth was enhanced. Because of his <>, he was able to bring his HP back to full. Popping his knee back into place, Kane sighed as he checked his equipment's condition. His breastplate was dented; he'd need to have it repaired at a blacksmith's. His sword, though it had seen a lot of action, was still in remarkable shape, its Adamantine core keeping the metal sharp and true. Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #87 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Kane stood, and recovered as many of his daggers from the battlefield as possible. Sifted earth, gaping sinkholes and uncovered boulders littered the field as he retrieved four of his knives in total. Gathering his strength, he set his eyes on the Tomb. Having beat its guardian, the entrance was unguarded. Well, this one at least. Making his way inside, Kane saw the usual rat monsters and small lizards that most dungeons contained. It seemed like the majority of the Tomb's security had been the Minotaur out front. It was a tricky, maze-like architecture though, and Kane had to devote a lot of his mental space to keeping track of where he was at all times. Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #88 Share Posted April 25, 2014 At long last, after a lengthy ordeal, Kane finally arrived at the crypt near the heart of the Tomb. A skeleton sat atop a throne in the center of the room. It wore a crown, and was clothed like a king. It clutched two items close to its ribcage: An ornate longsword, and a beautiful jeweled pendant. As he approached, the Skeleton came to life! Before he could raise his blade, it floated up, wreathed in a dark blue aura. Its eye holes were illuminated by cerulean flames, and it opened its jaw, speaking in an echoing voice that chilled Kane to the bone. "I am King Minos! You have defeated the Guardian of my Tomb, traveler! You must be rewarded. So, I offer you a choice: Take my sword, Labyron, and it will bring you might in battle. Or take the Hoya, a pendant of great value and beauty, to be given in the name of true love. Choose wisely." Link to post Share on other sites
Kane 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Author #89 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Kane knew the value of the item he had come for. "I choose the Hoya!" he said, pointing at the pendant. The skeleton king cackled, sheathing its blade in a scabbard by its side. "A wise choice, traveler. Had you chosen the sword, I would have sheathed it in your chest! You know the value of beauty above power. So this beauty will bring you power. Bestow it upon one who brings you light." The pendant floated from King Minos' hand, straight to Kane's gauntlet. It was carved from the purest emerald and gold, gleaming in the torchlight of the tomb. He added it to his inventory: <> As Kane swiped his hand through the air, the skeleton floated back down to its throne. "Now, leave me to my slumber." Kane knew when he was being dismissed. The King waved a hand, and Kane was teleported back to the entrance of the Tomb! Kane looked around; the fog in the forest had dissipated temporarily, displaying a path out. Clutching the Hoya in his hand, Kane smiled to himself as he walked steadily out of the forest. Mighty fine shindig... Link to post Share on other sites
