The Tower

wandering for while archaic comes to an intersection to the left, a long corridor with a red door at the end. To the right a flight of ascending stairs.

*Archaic heads to the right and approaches the red door. He still wanted to test out Nosferatu's potential a little more as the last fight was over far too quickly. Arriving at the door, Archaic takes Nosferatu's bladed part in his left hand, and swings the axe part with his right hand. Archaic continues this for a bit more before suddenly stopping.*

"Yeah this feels better... now I don't need to chose between throwing or slashing. This will be fun! Hahaha."

*Archaic opens the door and swipes the axe part across the room.*

As the axe part strikes a metal pole, some sparks fling about. One spark traveling up ignites the torch atop the pole. Convenient. As the torch ignites the previously pitch dark room gains some semblance of light. Some shadows can be seen, but nothing distinct.

*Archaic enters the room cautiously while swinging the axe part of Nosferatu while tightly gripping the blade's handle. Getting close to the center of the room Archaic stops as an idea strikes him. Using the shiny metal of his weapons, he reflects the light coming off of the fire and tries to better illuminate the room as to make out what those shadows were. Examining the room slowly, Archaic waits to see if anything seems suspicious.*

reflecting the light, archaic is able to identify three more torches, one in each corner of the room.

*Archaic looking around and not seeing any tools to light the other torches with decides to try something else. Sticking his blade in the fire, he waits for it to heat up a little before going to the torch furthest away from him and sticking his blade on it, hoping the heat will cause an other fire. As he does this with his left hand, his right hand swings the axe towards the closest unlit torch and strikes it, hoping to cause an other spark to light that torch.*

"I apologize for the rough treatment, but this will also serve to test how strong you are eh Nosferatu."

The blade emits a hateful aura as it is heated up as if scorning the person who commited the action. Scorn aside however, when placing the blade onto the second torch, it does indeed ignite. The hay inside must have been very dry. Throwing the axe half however seems frivolous.

"Nosferatu, I realize this this is going to seem rather painful, realize the possibilities of a well light room inside a tower such as this. Surely it will beckon a few creatures for us to feast upon, if not show the way t some sort of treasure. But I will only do it once more, as I also have to test out my ability to throw your axe around."

*Taking the axe in hand, Archaic heats it up before throwing it at the closest torch, running it through, and then swinging it towards the last unlit torch hoping to ignite both of them in one swing.*

As the fourth torch ignites, the room begins to shake, and small pufts of dust fall from the ceiling. a section of the wall recedes revealing a small closet like room. A treasure chest is located withing the small closet.

Archaic · Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:45 pm Post subject:

*Archaic smiles and gently rubs the blades of his weapon as he approaches the closet.*

"Thank you Nosferatu, I only hope this treasure was worth putting you through the fire."

*As Archaic reaches the closet, he swings the axe part of his weapon towards the chest and tries to wrap it around to pull it close to him. If that doesn't work however, he plans on walking into the closet and getting the treasure himself.*

Entering the closet, archaic picks the lock on the chest and opens it. Gazing inside he finds a . . .

Spoiler:

After closing the chest he hears two voices come from down the hall.

"Did you light the torches in that room?"
"Nao, jus got here for me patrol, better go take a look. . "

*Archaic hearing the patrol approaching quickly thinks about what to do. If he stays inside the closet then he will obviously get caught, or worst. If a torch is unlit then its possible the closet will close on him and he will be trapped. However, if he just runs out then he be attacked on sight, but this fight seems unavoidable anyway. Taking a deep breath, a smile forms on Archaic's face as dashes out of the closet as quickly as he can and hides behind the red door, waiting to ambush the patrolman. He knew that if he didn't take out the patrol in one shot, then reinforcements may come to save him.*

"Here piggy piggy, slaughtering time."

Following protocall, one gaurd remains at the entrance with his back to the wall ensuring that no one enters the room after them. The other gaurd enters the room to look around, at first he doesnt see archaic.

"I suppose one of the servants must have lit them? maybe that new guy? Anyways, waste no want not." The guard proceeds to extinguish the torches.

*Seeing the room grow darker and following the guards footsteps, Archaic uses what he learned from previous quests and tries to silently approach the guard. If successful he plans to try to slit the guard's throat silently.*

As the rooms grows darker, archaic creeps up behind the guard and executes a flawless execution! However, as a minute or two passes by and no response is given by the now deceased guard, the other enters the room with his serrated club ready.
