(YBA) Cait Sith in the Passage of Death (Pt. 2)

[tleilaxu]

As Cait strikes the elemental it shakes its head and seems to regain its composure...

you must help me... the elemental says...

Beyond this grove there is another hill... he gestures somewhere to the south [/color] you must bring me a fruit from the tree that grows there... only that can heal my shattered mind... [/color]

After the elemental manages to get this out his tick returns and he strikes out at Cait again...

The manticore sweeps within the desert; guards against the speed of the sands!

 

[Wicht]

Cait Sith says, "I will help you if I may." However, as the creature seems murderous despite its words, Cait moves quickly to quell its attack and strike it, hopefully into submission.

Hits Remaining: 7

The spider wounds the pillars; ruthlessly quells the roar of the wind! *yen*

 

[tleilaxu]

The elemental falls back from Cait's strike... It seems dazed...

[Wicht]

"Do you surrender? Can I go and find the fruit you need?"

Cait Sith does not leave his defensive stance as he asks the question.

 

[tleilaxu]

The elemental remains dazed and makes no more aggressive moves...

 

[Wicht]

Satisfied that the fight is out of the wood creature, Cait Sith bows and then turns to go south.

"I will find this fruit that you need noble one," says the fighter-mage and he begins to walk south (keeping half an eye on the creature the whole time).

 

[tleilaxu]

Toward the south the ground becomes difficult and hilly.. the trees become very thick and the forest takes on a dark aspect...

 

[Wicht]

Treading cautiously, Cait Sith looks for any signs of hills or fruit trees, preferably in combination with each other.

 

[tleilaxu]

As the trees and brambles get thicker, obscuring most light, Cait approaches an extraordinarily steep hill. It rises at an angle of about 60 degrees. It is about 50 feet tall and is surrounded at the top by a kind of fence. The hill rises far above the trees around it into the sunlight. The sun gleams against the fence and Cait finds it difficult to see anything else....

 

[Wicht]

Before climbing the hill, Cait Sith walks around the base of the hill, seeing if there is an easier way up.
