Barth did the best he could to keep pace with Luz and Nyma, though he had a rougher go of it than them. They had the advantage of people able to keep an eye on their destination without being hindered by the encroaching darkness, at least from what he recalled of their descriptions, while he had to try and keep his eyes on their forms as they all moved through the forest. He gave up on trying to focus on Luz, she was faster than him and the longer his eyes stayed with her the more likely it would be for him to misstep or get lost. Instead he followed Nyma as closely as he could, which felt more natural to him anyway.
It didn’t take too long for his little group to meet up with the others, though most of them were strangers to him. While Nyma moved into position on one side of the mouth of the cave, Barth made his way to the other. Their flanking tactic seemed to have helped during their last spider hunt, he so deeply missed the web infested forest, that it made sense to attempt a similar tactic again.
Given that he didn’t have much time he quickly reached into the little silk sack that hung from his hip and retrieved his dice. With a flick of his wrist he rolled them across the ground before copying Nyma and spraying his barbed webbing towards the legs of the Alpha Troll.
EXP:
Inventory: -Wooden walking stick/staff (in Cave) -Rudimentary Spear -Alpha Rabbit Horn on a Vine -Devils Advocate- A pair of dice gifted to Barth by the God of Chance. He has yet to roll them so he isn’t positive of their effects yet. Rolling a 1 causes a negative effect, rolling a 4 increases XP gain. They are currently held in a silk sack.
Acquired Skills: -Knowledge Of The 3: Knowing the names of the god and goddesses of the world they live in they can now properly worship them.
***God of light Ramos he is the god of light and he gives us the very sun we see during the day he is purity itself and as such is mostly worshiped by most creatures in one form or another.
***Duvelna she is the goddess of death and night. She is death itself and must be respected if not feared.
***Shirila the goddess of the earth as she is the embodiment of the earth and life itself, she is also known as the eternal mother.
-Fairy Knowledge: Now knows of the fairies (and nymphs) that inhabit the forest around him
-Silk Spinning: He is now able to create silk from his fingertips. Eventually he will be able to use this ability to create traps and snares with ease, but for the time being he has very little control over the gift. It is more akin to spray and pray, severely lacking in finesse.
-Barbed Webbing: After the death of the mother spider Barth’s webs gained a new property. Barbs, or sharp needles, now reside within the webbing increasing the effectiveness of capturing larger prey as well as increasing damage done to enemies with the webs.
Titles:
Blessings: -Devils Luck: He is lucky to be alive, and it shows in how well he takes chances. (Passive effect)
Curses:
XP: 1x Male Spider (9xp), 1x Female Spider (36xp 9 times 4 due to Devils Advocate). Total: 45xp
@Jangel13 I fricken love that, and I really wish I had picked a different starting power because I really don't see him advancing his much now that he has a course haha. Alright back to the post.
Edit: And Boom!!!! I have returned. Hold the applause.
@Jangel13 Not sure if you are still around, but if I am remembering correctly you said that the Devil's Advocate could be used in situations besides just experience correct?
Thank you guys for being so understanding. We just lost a bunch of people at once so I have been helping pick up the slack, which entails a lot of doubles. Things are finally calm. If Barth isn't dead yet I will read the IC and work on a post.
I'm so sorry guys. I'm still here. I've been on back to back doubles at work. Things should finally be calming down. I really feel awful about my absence.
