Roll To Dodge Adventures - The Grail

One of the spear's hooked edges is bent and useless but the other is still sharp. I position that one beneath the tripwire and swing up sharply, hopefully cutting the wire and disabling the trap.

Shiny Eevee - 6 and Dwayna Dragonfire - 3 Dwayna turns up nothing useful when she searches the goblins. Finding nothing but a few mouldy crackers, you could eat them, but I don't think they'll be worth it. Shiny however, finds a curious vial in one of their pouches. It's about the size and shape of a baseball, and filled with what appears to be water. She take an experimental sip, the water tastes acidic and metallic, and almost makes her gag. She end up losing a bit as it splashes on her wounded arm. She winces as her arm begins to burn with pain, like when bringing it too close to a roaring fire. Dwayna gasps and Shiny stares in shock when the wound scabs over, stopping the bleeding and putting a cease to the pain. Add 15 hp to Shiny Shiny marvels stare at the curious vial, which is still 3/4 full. One of you wonders if this could be a diluted sample of water from the very grail you come to seek, while the other decides that it is an attempt by an alchemist to try and recreate it's healing power with lesser results. Either way, this isn't the water you're down here to seek, but it is some wonderful stuff. Add 3x Healing Concoction - +15 hp per dose.

Dark Soul - 3 You try to roll away from its teeth, which is fairly difficult to do with his weight on top of you. You get lucky though, managing to tear your legs free and pull yourself out from under him, but not before his jaws manage to get a bite out of your flesh, Lose 5 hp You then decide to resort to your inner talents, closing your eyes, and letting the change happen. Transforming into your werewolf form. The creature looks at you, stunned at your transformation into a form very similar to it, the same actually. The other werewolf sniffs at you curiously, but then quickly begins to snarl again, crouching into a stance to pounce. You feel pity for the person this creature once was, but you resolve yourself to do what you have to do. There's no hope for this insane old soul. Commencing battle with Insane Werewolf - 20

Tangrow - 2 You stand up dust yourself off, then hear stomping behind you. You turn around merrily expecting to meet Chadwyck and his big feet. I doubt that you'll stay merry for long when you see the mighty Orc in front of you. This humanoid like a cross between a goblin and a human, hinting at its origins. It's a foot taller than you are and its skin is pale green, almost white even. It sports a warty face with flabby ears and tusks sticking out of its lower lip. It wears nothing but a long loincloth that almost glorifies its bulging belly, which wobbles constantly as if it was about to burst with each step the creature takes. Its meaty arms hold a thick club on its shoulders, which it raises and points at you, bellowing a fierce roar, and decides that you're not welcome in its cave. Commencing battle with Cave Orc - 25

Dinova2 - 4 You leave no hole unchecked. You sweep your weapon up, cutting though any wires you find, sending a spear to sail off into the far wall. By the time you reach the far end of the trap, it is completely defunct and useless. This spear trap has claimed its last victim, and you are not it.

This is not the first time I have magically induced my lycan forme, and provided this battle between two of them ends in my favour, it will not be the last time either.

As much as I feel a kinship to this unfortunate fellow, who suffers from the same fate as me- And has, like so many others, been driven insane under his burden. He is a living reminder of what I could become if I let my inner wolf out of control.

But there is no time to dwell upon this matter. My veins pulse and my brain is naught but bloodlust and wild emotions. I jump forward and swipe at his snout, aiming for his eyes. If I can blind him, my odds will improve greatly.

Awesome, something other than a 1 and 2.
Anyways, I offer some of the potion to my friend, who's not in bad shape but still seems to have several injuries on her.

Shall we continue onward then?

I accept the offer of the potion, hopefully it works on draconic skin.
Otherwise I agree that we should continue onwards, as there's not really any going back.

As I continue on through the now harmless trap, I take a moment to rest. I use some bandages on my injuries and eat some of my food.

This trap turned out to be more devious than I imagined, and now I have been separated from my companion, which is truly a terrible fate, how can I protect him if he's not around?

I rub my sore muscles, grateful to still be able to walk after that fall, and began my trek through the cave once more.

I hope Mafia was a good enough distraction for you guys. How coincidental that it goes together with my exams. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the interlude.

You lunge for him, aiming your vicious claws at his snout. He bats your paws away, trying to keep you away from your target. You keep trying to go for the eyes, managing to get a swipe at your nose. It is after this that he begins to play offensively, lunging at you with his jaws again, he clamps at your shoulder, further drawing your blood. You bite back the pain, and scratch at him one more time. Your claws finally meet their mark, raking across his furry face. One of his eyes pops out under your claws, leaving the other one marginally intact. Now is your chance to ruin his day.

Dark Soul - 33 vs Insane Werewolf - 8

Shiny Eevee - 4 and Dwayna Dragonfire - 6 First, Dwayna uses a portion of Shiny's new find to heal her own wounds. +15 hp. Proceeding onwards, you eventually stumble upon a pile of corpses in an alcove in the wall. Most of them are skeletons already, their flesh pealed away by time or some other force. You scavenge the pile, and find various things within that prove useful, more to you than their original owners. Shiny finds a shield (-1 from damage taken) and a duelling dagger, (+1 to damage dealt), although she can only use one of them. Dwayna instead finds a pouch of fire runes, counting them up, and then adding them to her own collection. Dwayna gets 4x Fireball, 4x Firespark, and 1x Fire Breath,

Dinova2 - 4 You patch yourself up, eating up some of your food supplies, and using one of your bandages to cover one of the wounds you got from that previous encounter, just to play on the safe side. Continuing through the tunnel, the population of corpses severely drop, which you take as a good sign that you’re going further than most ever do. You round a corner and find a fairly sickening site. It is another corpse, or what’s left of one, that has been torn up and tossed all over the corridor. The walls are splattered with dried up blood, and rotting flesh is scattered across the floor. You stride through this mess and see what you assume to be where the carnage took place, where the blood is thickest. You look around and see some kind of whistle, like a dog whistle, hung around a neck that ends in the lower-half of a jaw, you know where the rest of it went though. You stare at the whistle, it’s carved in the shape of some sort of demon, carved into the whistle itself, with an open mouth where the end of it should be. You decide that there’s no harm in taking this whistle with you, for now at least. You keep digging and see a diary, surprisingly unscathed from the carnage around you, sitting just a few paces away. Most of the pages have been stained: by blood, beverages, and something you don’t even want to know. However, the last page is clean, and seems to be the only entry that describes the dungeon.

Chadwyck - 2 You step through the tunnels, trying to adjust your eyes to the darkness. You fail to notice a small snake slithering through the cave. And then you step on it, noticing it underfoot as you crunch down on its scaled body. It hisses violently, baring its venom-coated fangs as it bends back towards your leg. You have to act quickly, unless you want it to bite you. Commencing Combat with Venomous Snake – 1 You’re certain that if it bites you, its poison will do some serious damage. This snake deals 3x normal damage

I'll take the shield, I'm better with a sword than a dagger.

Keep going, my friend, or stay here and have a little snack before we go on?

With more luck then skill, even though he manages to raise his own paws to bat mine away at the first swipe, I land a hit at the second try- But not before he swipes at my shoulder, raking trough the skin.

My initial goal seems to have been fulfilled at least partially; One of his eyes falls out of its socket, impairing him further. I have an inkling that, if this happened to me, I would try to swipe at my freshly blinded side because my attacker would see my vulnerability and attempt to attack my blind side. Following that logic, I may be better of assaulting the other side.

At this point his actions might just be completely random, but it's worth a shot if it means I can hit him harder.

A lucky find indeed. I'm happy to have more spells in my repertoire.
"We should be fine for food for a little while yet, human. We press onwards."

"Alright then, let's get going."

I love this partnership~

I stow the whistle away carefully and commit the page to memory.

I continue down the tunnel.

Oh, how hideous! Guess I can't make friends with that! Let us open with a mind blast, and continue attacking!
