[QUOTE="SnowleopardVK, post: 5636746, member: 6677945"] Episode 9: A startling development again *** Sizemet and Maka swam for land, eventually reaching the sloped ground that led back to a ledge. Sizemet reached it first and began to carefully ascend the wet and slippery slope. Once he was halfway up however, he was dismayed to see a pair of lizardfolk skeletons clawing their way out of the ground ahead of him. He decided to continue forward though; after all, this time he wouldn’t be fighting alone. The two of them scrambled to the top of the slope. Sizemet had his sword out, and Maka opted to use her longspear. “Can you stay in front so that I can hit these guys from a distance?” Maka asked. “I can try” Sizemet told her, “But I’m kind of hurt right now.” “I’d like to save my healing magic until we’re in a group so that I can channel it into everybody at once” Maka told him, “If you fall though, I’ll heal you. How’s that?” “Works for me” Sizemet agreed. The skeletons had finished pulling their way out of the ground by the time the two had reached the top of the slope. One held a greatsword similar to Sizemet’s and the other carried a rapier. The skeletons both advanced and swung their weapons at Sizemet, but he parried their blows and suffered no hits. Beside Sizemet, Maka stepped back to the edge of the ledge and jabbed her spear at the skeleton on the right, the one with the rapier. Her strike cracked the bone of its left arm and shattered it, rendering it useless. Unfortunately that wasn’t the arm it was holding its weapon in. Sizemet stepped quickly to a better point of attack, one where the undead would be distracted by Maka attacking it from the other side. He then swung his sword down hard upon the creature and split straight through its skull! The pile of bones fell apart from the blow, and Sizemet turned to face the other one. The skeleton swung its sword, shredding through Sizemet’s armour and sending him crumpling to the ground. Its bones creaked as its skull turned towards Maka. “Don’t worry Sizemet” Maka shouted, building up a blast of positive energy within herself, “I’ll heal you up.” She unleashed the wave of healing energy around herself, and the skeleton was blasted apart. Sizemet didn’t get to his feet however. “Sizemet?” Maka asked worriedly, running to her teammate’s body and kneeling beside it. “No!” Sizemet was dead. To be continued... *** I... Wow. Well, that's PC death for you. You're ten feet from the cleric and the monster gets a critical hit, sends you straight through the negatives past the point where she can heal you, and it's over. I'll be rejoining the group after they escape. For now the focus will just be on the living ones. [/QUOTE]
