[SP-F1] Hunting Monsters

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

Davros pulled his claymore out of its sheath and swung it around a few times before heading out of the city. He was going to do a bit of monster hunting, and try to get some more money to get a better weapon. He had yet to check in on any of the store yet, so he was unsure how much he needed. So he was going to go around killing creatures until he was low on health. Of course, when he meant low on health, he didn't mean about to die low on health. He meant down to about 3 hp health. So once he had taken six damage he would head back in and heal up. He paced by the exit. Last time he had left the starting city he had immediately been attacked, so he was hesitant to leave just yet. Maybe he would wait for someone else to leave first. He didn't want to be caught unawares after all.

He waited until another player left the city. The player continued through the gate and onwards without being attacked, So Davros deemed it safe to leave. However,after getting five steps out he was confronted by a wild boar. He almost thought it was the same one from last time, but this one was larger, and its tusks looked much sharper. It charged at him, and he threw himself out of the way, using the same technique he had before. This time hus foot caught on rock and he fell to the ground, his side slashed by one of the tusks.

He quickly got to his feet and drew his claymore. He was panicking slighty, as he had just left the city and he was already down one health. This didnt bode well for the rest of his expedition. He decided to go on the offensive. This time the boar charged, Davros stepped to the side and swung his sword down at the boars face. The boar was smarter than that and jumped to the side using its short stubby legs before charging Davros and slashing his leg.

BOAR: 6/6

DAVROS: 7/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He jumped back. He was not doing well. He was already hurt two health and he hadnt even nicked the boar once. He lifted his claymore up and swung it down diagonally at the boar as it charged again. And missed. What was up with him today! He couldnt even hit one lousy boar? He was knock back into reality by his leg being slashed again by the boar.

BOAR: 6/6

DAVROS: 6/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He almost cnsidered retreating, but he had nowhere to retreat to. All of this failed dodging had turned them both in such a way that the boar was between him and the city. So he decided to keep on fighting. He held his sword straight out in front of him. If the boar charged it would ram itself on the blade. If it tried to jump to the side it would miss hitting him. The boar charged and everything went according to plan. He rammed himself onto the blade. Davros had finally dealt some damage.

BOAR: 4/6

DAVROS: 6/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

Before the boar could recover he pulled his blade out and pulled his arms back, prepared to hit the boar again as hard as he could. Luck wasn't completely against him when he swung his blade. He did some damage, but not the critical damage he had been expecting dish out. His foot caught on a rock yet again and kept him from slashing the boar multiple times. He did get one slash in before recovering his balance.

BOAR:2/6

DAVROS: 6/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

The boar recovered quickly and slashed it's tusks at Davros once again. Davros drew his sword back and swung at the offending tusk. He made contact, and the tusk fell to the ground as the boar exploded into octagonal pieces of light. He checked his inventory to see what material he had received. As expected, it said BOARS TUSK. He wondered what he could create with it... Maybe a horned helmet or something?

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He decided that he had enough health for one more go at it. If he succeeded in destroying the next monster without taking any damage he would go find another one. He went over to a nearby bush and started to whack it around with his claymore. There came a surprised cry from the bush and and NPC popped out. He was dressed all in black and carried two daggers.

"You found me... Well. That means I have to rob you of all your stuff."

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

Upon hearing the intentions of the NPC, Davros immediately swung his claymore at the man's shoulder, not giving him a chance defend himself. At least... That's what Davros thought. The man lifted his Daggers up and made an X with them, blocking Davros' swing. The man seemed content to let Davros wear himself out before doing any attacking.

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He drew his sword back and feinted making the same move again. This time however, he aimed at the man's leg instead. The NPC merely stepped to the side, dodging the blow completely. Davros stepped back for a second the think. Maybe he could kick at the man and then swing his blade?

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

Davros decided to do just that. He lifted his leg and kicked at the NPC's stomach. The man moved to block his kick with the daggers and Davros swung his blade at the same time at the NPC's head. Critical damage! Davros grinned as the NPc's healthbar went down about halfway.

NPC BANDIT: 3/6

DAVROS: 6/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

The bandits mouth opened wide and then he went on the offensive, slashing his daggers back and forth wildly. Davros Ducked under the wild attack and drove his sword home into the belly of the bandit. The bandits health dropped into the red zone, and it looked like one more hit would finish him.

BANDIT: 1/6

DAVROS: 6/9

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He pulled it out of the bandits belly and swung it wildly back and forth at the NPC, disregarding the blades. Even if one hit him he was going to keep swinging. The NPC fell back in amazement as Davros once again dealt him critical damage. Everything but his hood dissapeared into beatiful octagonal bits of light. The hood then shimmered and appeared in his inventory. HOOD OF ACCURACY

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He swiped his hand and exited out of the screen, resolvin to look more closely into the item later. As of now, he still had six health. Which meant he was goingto fight another monster. He made his way further into the feild until he reached another boar. He resolved to kill this one quickly as he could and then head in.

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

It didnt look particularly strong, but as Davros was learning more than ever, i this game looks can be decieving. He raised his sword and walked as silently as he could towards the boar. is goal was to sneak up on it and then chop its head open. When he was within a foot of it he swung his sword at its back. His uneven footing knocked him off balance and caused him to miss. Miraculously he caught himself silently and the boar still didnt notice him.

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He regained his foting and this time widened his stance in preparation for his swing. This movement caused him to be detected by the boar however, and before he could swing it had kicked him in the leg. He grimaced and took a step back.

DAVROS: 5/9

BOAR: 6/6

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He swung his sword down at the boar and missed, causing him to lose his balance. This in itself saved him from damage as he unintentionally doded the boars tusks that had been coming at him. He stood up and prepared to strike again.

DAVROS: 5/9

BOAR: 6/6

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He lifted his sword straight up in front of him and prepared to do a controlled slash down at the boar. He hoped his controlled movements would make the difference in his accuracy compared to his previous erratic ones. He took a deep breath and waited for an opening before he attacked.

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

The boar seemed to sense the danger of the blade, and Davros and it circled each other for a bit, watching for an opening. This continued for a bit and Davros started to grow bored. The boar then unexpectadly chrged and stabbed his leg before retreating.

DAVROS: 4/9

BOAR: 6/6

[Davros Syb'Aoth 0]

He was surprised by the sudden attack. It seemed more wolflike than boar like. He raised his sword once again and started to circle the boar warily once again.
