(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

Drax had not entered Wicht's lair alone. He had entered with a group. Never leaving the cemetery, they had encountered zombies, skeletons, even a werewolf and had been victorious over all of it. However as they went through the cemetery, exploring, slowly but surely the others had left the group. Finally it had been just Drax and Slayzer. In the last tomb, the two had encountered a pair of Wight Sentries, guarding an inner chamber.

They had defeatedthe wights but Slayzer had then left, leaving Drax to face the contents of the tomb on his own. What he had discovered had been a vampire Lord, far too powerful for him to fight alone. Drax had fled for his life. Only the light of the sun had kept the vampire in his tomb. But the sun will eventually go down.

So Drax finds himself alone in the cemetery, with just a few hours to go till the dusk.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax keeps on with his monology.
"The best thing right now would propably be to leave the cemetary till morning rises... or I could try to find some shelter."
He checks his money pouch.
"Ah, it seems I have enough cash to buy myself a defensive weapon to use! I'll just fetch that on my way."

He leaves the cemetary for any nearby village and buys a secondary sword to be used as defense (shield) for 5 yen.
He then returns to the cemetary when the sun has risen.

 

[Wicht]

It takes Drax a bit longer to find a decent sword than he had planned and he eventually has to wait for a suitable one to be forged for him.

But he makes it back to the cemetery on the dawn of the Tsunami.

There are no guards at the cemetery gate this time when he arrives.

 

[Dalamar]

"Now where did those stupid goblins go? Bah, it doesn't really matter."
Drax pushes the cemetary gates open and enters the cemetary.

 

[Wicht]

The cemetery gate is locked and Drax has to take the time to unlock it before he can enter. Once that happens however he finds himself back in the cemetery he left. The path stretches out before him and on either side, as far as he can see, are tombstones.

In the distance he thinks he might be able to hear someone running.

 

[Dalamar]

Running? Might that be an ally or a foe? The skeleton guards didn't run, that I'm sure of.
Drax will move towards the sound of running, carefully to be the one to see the other first.

 

[Wicht]

Drax sees a cloaked figure running down the path from the north. The figure seems to be looking over its shoulder and does not see Drax yet.

 

[Dalamar]

Drax will take the time to wait the figure to come very close and then yell.
"Halt! Who are you and what business do you have in this haunted place?"

 

[Wicht]

The running figure, a man, sees Drax for the first time and snarls, "Out of my way peasant or I will strike you down!"

 

[Dalamar]

"I am no peasant. Nor will I move untill you tell me what you are doing in this foul place."
Drax will try to see if the man is carrying any weapons and also try to evaluate how good a fighter the man is.
