The Journey Begins

Nick climbed the staircase back up as fast as he could, his danger senses spiking. No reason to stop now, each step he took got him closer to the courtyard and to safety and far, far away from this black, gooey tar whose appearance should've clued in that it was something that shouldn't be messed with.

Once he reached the top, the dread was overwhelming him now. The hallway they were in earlier that was filled with those tar-covered corpses were beginning to stir. They rose up as thralls of the black tar, not that they weren't harmless to begin with. Nick only had that sword from earlier during the fight where Donovan appeared. He did not even know how to use that sword, only that the pointy end goes to the bad guys.

The tar-covered wretched experiment approached, on his arm was a sharp, plant-like blade that it swung at Nick. It was aimed at his neck but Nick quickly crouched down to evade, more on frightened reflex than any sort of fighting skill. Adrenaline rushed through his body as he tried to fight back, swinging his sword wildly at the creature. At the very least, the attack would throw it off him.

There was a lot of them between him and the exit, but he cannot fight all of them nor let himself get pinned down. The options were few and time was running out, it was now or never. If he managed to kill or beat back the first attacker, Nick would attempt to dash straight through the creatures and push them away if he needed to. He hoped these things would be slow like the others, which would make them easier to dodge and weave through.

"Okay...I gotta ask....Why? Why go through so much trouble, huh? At this point, your escape plan is utterly doomed and the town guard is probably on their way here as we speak. Is Nero really worth all of this drama?"

Kira Gigas

Kira's wind spell gave her distance from the Kikimora who induleged the Beelzebub's question. "Of course." She answered without hesitation. "If you find yourself in love, Beelzebub, you would understand. I will even wager that you will do the same as I did."

The Kikimora facing Kira was ready to strike again, but then she hesitated. A sinking feeling fell over her and she turned to see Ditzy with the bound and gagged Nero, running towards his group and away from her reach. The maid monster promptly ignored the Beelzebub and dashed straight for the male Hobgoblin.

Freyr would see this and fired arrows at the Kikimora that was onto Ditzy. The maid monster narrowly evaded each arrow so far but just when the Viera had a bead on her, he was hit in the arms by an arnis stick. Thrown by the Kikimora who was fighting Ada and Sir Reed, breaking away from the fight to aid the fellow maid monster.

But this gave the knight the opening he needed to lock the Kikimora's arms beind her. "Finish her off, little one!" Sir Reed called to Ada. The Kikimora struggled hard but Reed had her pinned for now. "A solid punch to her gut, or her face. Anything to knock her out! Hurry!"

Meanwhile, Ozzy had caught the Kikimora attacking Margaret by surprise. The maid monster was lifted from the ground and was indisposed for the time being.

"Margaret, you okay?"

Ozzy Skyway

"I'm quite fine, Mister Ozzy." The Owl Mage replied as she got up. She aimeda wing at the immobilized Kikimora, ready to finish her off with a spell. The Kikimora struggled but a beam of white light shot out of Margaret's wing that struck her in the head. Suddenly, the Kikimora fell asleep. A sleeping spell was used, it seems.

However, the Kikimora then began to fade away as Ozzy felt his grip on her form disappearing. The maid monster faded until she was a mist that then traveled straight towards the Kikimora heading towards Ditzy.

The same happened with the Kikimora that received a powerful kick to her torso, courtesy of Yang. She was sent to the ground, but she got up. Clutching her body and gritting her teeth in pain, but not out of the fight yet The durability of monsters was truly amazing. However, Talia appeared behind her, turned her around and received a nasty headbutt from the mighty Cyclops. The knocked out Kikimora then faded into mist that then traveled away.

"Ditzy!" Haley yelled.

The Hobgoblin was in trouble. He was kicked away by the Kikimora which released his grip on the captive Nero. He was then brought up and had his hands quickly tied up with rope behind him as well as his feet. The maid monster sure was fast to be able to do all of that in record time.

The Kikimora held Ditzy in front of her, intending to use him as a shield against his allies' attacks. "I propose an exchange! Let me go with Nero, and you can have your friend" Her face was of grim determination and desperation. A serious scowl, backed into the corner. The two mists from the fallen Kikimora entered her, but she ignored this development.

"We over-reacted. Didn't want one of our friends getting abducted."

Vivian Altissima

"Oh, that's fine. Totally understandable." Neil forgave being suddenly hoisted by up by the Altissima sisters. "Although, I don't think I'm a target. I think she's just after Sir Nero for whatever reason."

Seeing that the Liliraune was pushing the cart, Neil immediately offered his help. And he wasn't taking a 'no'. "Come on, now. No need to do that. Let me push you two." The Altissima sisters might protest but Neil would shoot that down. "Don't worry about me. I've gotten quite used to this." He then sighed. "I'm just worried how this'll affect my surprise for you two."

"Oh crap, me and my big mouth." Neil reprimanded himself as his face flushed. "Uhh, yeah. I was planning a surprise for the two of you. I-I hope you'll like it... Err, you'll probably like it."

@Rune_Alchemist

Spotted an opportunity for wackiness so I've kind of modified the scenario a bit. Let me know if I'm not allowed to do that.

Despite his protests, the party continued on. Nick really didn't want to head down further but he couldn't just leave these people behind, even if they were heading to certain doom. He lagged behind them as they descended, wary of the black tar-like substance that was abundant in this place. "Shouldn't be doing this, shouldn't be doing this..." He repeated to himself and clutching the harmless blade he had as hard as he could.

His eyes darted all over the place, waiting for anything to happen. That was the worst part of it all, the tense waiting. Nick knew something was going to happen to them here but they didn't know what or when or how. Each step Nick took, the other guys had already taken five. But he didn't notice, too occupied in his paranoia as he descended the staircase. The other three were already way past the staircase bottom when he arrived there.

Nick heard the sounds of rushing water and saw his three other companions standing and probably admiring whatever it was that was there. He moved to join them but suddenly, the ground shook as black vines began growing over the staircase exit. Nick quickly backed away before realizing that he was now separated from the rest of the group. In this place that ticked off his anxiety powers. Surrounded by probably evil goo. And as defenseless as a newborn babe.

"Interesting. Very interesting." Nick muttered, amused.

A figure dashed upwards the staircase, frantically trying to get away from this place as fast as he could. Nick should've figured something like this would happen. He felt bad not noting his companions that he was hauling ass, but they'd understand right? There was little he could do down there, save for trying to hack away the vines with the old blade. Nick hoped they would be alright down there, though.

He would try to make it back to that courtyard they were in earlier, no longer caring if the black tar was growing all around him as he fled. Now that he was alone, it was up to him on what to do next in this alien world. Troubling, Nick thought but enough about that, he needed to get to safety first.

@13org

Uhh, you must be confusing Ushi-Onis with Kikimoras. The latter look like this.



The Ushi-Oni that almost fought Yang is gone, and never to be seen again.

I didn't want to do much in the Kikimora fight to give others a chance to make their moves.

The Kikimora fighting Yang was slammed to the ground by the monk. She was pinned down by Yang's elbow while the other arm struck the monster where it could. The Kikimora grit her teeth in pain but she retaliated by hitting Yang on the temple with an arnis stick that had enough force to take the monk off her.

The two fighters had taken painful hits. Yang was struck multiple times on non-vital parts of her body while she managed to get hits in on the maid monster. The Kikimora spared a momentary glance at the battle and saw Ditzy going for the cart with no one in his way. The Kikimora shifted her attention and threw one of her arnis sticks at the Hobgoblin.

Meanwhile, Kira landed a flying kick on the Kikimora engaging Ozzy. The maid monster recovered quickly and had speed that closed the distance between her and the Beelzebub pretty quickly. She began delivering multiple attacks at Kira, her arnis stick almost a blur.

"I was just keeping him out of reach of the kidnappers. The kikimora participating in the cooking competition kidnapped Sir Nero, and made off with the prize. I came to tell you to raise the alarm to prevent the kidnappers from escaping town."

Sylvia Altissima

"You two seem pretty fast. Can you send word to the gates? Most of my friends are heading to the port already, I think."

Vivian Altissima

"Err, these people are simple tourists. I think it's better if we get someone more professional." Riñas interjected before anything was done. "You three did well to bring this to me. Now then, to summon the town guard to the port entrance." The Dark Priest then conjured an orb of red light on the palm of her hand. She raised it to the air and the ball launched further up before exploding in a beautiful show of light visible to everyone at Boreal Port.

"Don't worry, the town guard will know what that means." Riñas assured the guild members. "They should be on their way now. Let's hope your fellow members can, at least, keep the kidnappers held up until they arrive." The Dark Priest then sighed. "This is going to be another plate on my table. Say, who did the deed again?"

"A... Kikimora, I believe they're called." Neil answered. "They took someone named Nero."

"Ahhhh, I think I know the parties involved. Seems like she's had enough of being turned down." Riñas mused. A hint of what was truly going on. "Anyway, you three should take it easy for now. We can discuss your compensation once the Kikimora has been apprehended. Now then, I must take my leave and..." She finished the sentence with a sigh and got back to the awaiting tourists. Presumably to get them occupied before handling the kidnapping issue.

Neil shrugged. "I'd say we head to the entrance and help out but, I don't either of us are fighters. We might just get in the way." He said. "Still, the fight might be over right now actually. You two wanna go and check?"
