sure!

[dizzying]

[ It just seems like an ordinary tunnel. A dirt floor, stone walls, the whole deal. Her flashlight beam hits the walls, searching for anymore pictographs, but this area seems pretty devoid of anything that would give them a clue of what's ahead. So Granuaile just keeps alert and moves until the light disappears. ]

The wall stops here. I think it opens up into a bigger room.

o7

[impetere]

[Cora moves to take the position ahead of them, switching to her wolf eyes so that she can see what's happening inside. It does open into a larger room, and at the end of it is sitting a large stone statue, that's almost like a goblin with wings.

She pauses, taking a few steps forward before gesturing for Granuaile to follow.]

There's something up ahead.

[dizzying]

Yeah? Can you see what it is?

[ Because her puny flashlight can't reach that far. She keeps the light fixed on the ground in front of Cora so they can watch where they are walking. ]

[impetere]

Yeah. I think it looks like a ...

[Before she can say anything further, the statue moves suddenly, striking out against the girl (attack 8). He swipes wide and misses, and Cora shifts quickly, ready to go on the offensive with a snarl.]

[dizzying]

Whoa!

[ Granuaile shifts the opposite way Cora does, so they're on either side of the statue and it has to face them on two fronts. The flashlight on her keys goes in her back pocket since the room just filled with light and she's left blinking. She lifts her staff and holds it in a defensive position, waiting to see what it does next. ]

You okay, Cora?

[impetere]

[Yep, she's fine. It missed her by a mile. But she's not pleased at being clawed at either. She shifts quickly, claws and fangs sliding out as though they were always there and prepares to go on the defense.]

I'm good.

[And with that she's going to charge in to try and get an attack herself (attack 13), but unfortunately missing, but just barely. The gargoyle isn't pleased either, and he's going to swipe at her again, this time his claws catch her shoulder (attack 23, damage 3).]

sob, lowest roll ever

[dizzying]

[ Granuaile doesn't wait for a perfect moment like she should. Seeing her friend hurt makes her see red and she swings out with her staff (attack 5) missing wildly and leaving herself open. ]

[impetere]

[It does, which distracts the gargoyle and gives Cora an opportunity. She charges in, slashing at the stone creature and catching it between the ribs (attack 17, damage 7).

The gargoyle roars at the slice, gritting it's teeth and glaring at them both. He decides that instead of taking a slash at the tiny one again, he's going to go for the one with the staff instead and swiping at Granuaile (attack 20 total, damage 3).]

[dizzying]

Ow! Crap!

[ Granuaile executes a spin move with her staff, twirling it behind her back and over her head to try and crack it down on the gargoyle's head (attack 16, damage 4). ]

[impetere]

[As the attack hits, Cora charges in from the side again, swiping her claws out to try and catch the creature, just missing as it tries to dodge out of the way (attack 15).

The gargoyle does not like being clocked on the head however and strikes out blindly in Cora's direction (attack 17, damage 3).]

[dizzying]

[ Granuaile isn't going to let them get their asses whooped by something out of the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Disney edition. She repeats the action again with her staff as it focuses on Cora for the moment (attack 17, damage 6). ]

[impetere]

[Double teaming works well for them. While Granuaile slams her staff into the gargoyle, Cora comes at it from the side as well (attack 20 total, damage 9).

The gargoyle roars in pain, so not pleased with this turn of events. He continues to swipe out at both of them, missing wildly as he does (attack 11).]

[dizzying]

[ She was contemplating adding her Shillelagh spell to her staff to help them out, but since she can only cast it once a day, Granuaile doesn't want to waste it if there's more to come. Besides, this guy looks like a chump now. She easily evades its swipe and twirls around again, thought she's starting to run out of steam. She swings at the statue again, misjudging the distance and missing (attack 10). ]

[impetere]

[Cora wants to just get rid of this thing as soon as possible. She comes at it again hard, slicing her claws against it's side (attack 25, damage 8).

The gargoyle is really looking worse for the wear at this point, but he still tries to keep at it, wanting to protect it's lair or whatever it is. This time, however, he manages to catch Granuaile when he does (attack 15, damage 5).]

[dizzying]

[ The gargoyle is really doing a number on Granuaile now. Though she can heal herself, the middle of a battle isn't the most opportune time, and she's already used up a lot of the earth's energy stored within her. She's boosting it by using what's stored in her staff, but even so, the next swing of her staff is noticeably more sloppy in execution (attack 9). ]

Fucking fuck!

[impetere]

[That's okay, Granuaile. Cora's got your back. She charges in to take care of the gargoyle first (attack 19, damage 8), letting it drop to the ground unconscious. After that she turns back to Granuaile and takes her arm gently.]

We should get out of here. You need a doctor.

[dizzying]

No, I'll be fine. I can heal myself.

[ She lets out a sigh, more pissed than anything that the statue one upped her so much. ]

I need to work on my moves. Are you okay?

[ She looks over Cora before taking a firm hold on her staff, letting its energy flow into her and using the spell for healing tattooed into her skin do its thing. ]

[impetere]

[She nods a bit as she backs off, letting her do her healing thing.]

Yeah, I'm fine. Just a few scratches that'll heal.

[She heals without magic, so it's no big thing for her.]

[dizzying]

That was sucky to the highest degree.

[ Her wounds start to mend together, skin closing over them, leaving first a little bruising, but then that starts to fade too as she heals all the affected veins and capillaries. ]

But it had to be here for a reason. Guarding something, you know?

[impetere]

[She nods a bit at that, before glancing to the space behind it.]

Want to keep looking?

[dizzying]

Yeah, definitely. If we're getting clawed at, I want it to at least have been for something. That way?

[impetere]

[She nods a bit before turning and leading the way further into the temple. The lights have shifted back to the low light again, but Cora is leading the way this time, using her werewolf eyes to keep a clear view of the corridor ahead.]

[dizzying]

[ By now, Granuaile is nearly healed completely, so she follows without showing any pain on her face. Her staff is held at the ready and she retrieves her flashlight from her pocket once more, since she sadly doesn't have werewolf eyes too. ]

Times like this, I wish they made a sensor that beeps whenever asshole security systems are activated.

[ Because this happens to her so often, right? Maybe it should just be a sensor that beeps whenever assholes get the urge to kill her, because that does happen often. ]

[impetere]

[She smirks a bit at that, before taking a quick survey over the hallway to see if she spots any other kind of trouble (spot 26) but for the most part it seems to be clear. Not a sign of a big bad in sight.]

[dizzying]

[ That should be a relief, but all she can think is that it's meant to lull them into a false sense of security, so she stays alert as they enter the hallway. ]
