Hyrule Adventures 2

Drommlin staggered back, then smiled in bitter sweet victory as he noticed his attack had hit. He ran right at Worru, then rolled under his legs, quickly got to his feet and struck from behind, spear gleaming in the sunlight.

OOC: I've got two new characters to introduce. Heh. They're pretty sweet. And one of them might just be the answer to Worru's Aria dilemma. She's twelve, and a pretty girl for her age, to. But I'll leave the RPing to do the talking.

IC: Two kids sat in a tree, watching the battle. "I didn't think I'd see him again." Commented the boy. He was thirteen, and his hair was a sandy brown. he had a short broad sword strapped to his side, and tow daggers stuck in his belt. An interesting metal tube was also jutting out from his belt, and on his wrist were what looked like miniature crossbows. He was wearing a brown tunic, and his eyes were a light blue. "Yeah." Commented the girl beside him. She was twelve, and she had two katana-ish looking blades on her back. A duplicate of the metal tube was also in her belt, as well as a dagger. She, like her companion, had the mini- crossbows. She was a pretty girl for her age, and she looked like she could be a little older, like thirteen- fourteen. Her blond hair was in ponytails and it draped down over her shoulders. She was wearing a light green tunic. Her eyes were an amber brown. "Should we help him out?" She asked him. "Nah. This is a thing between the two of them. Besides, if we were to help, we would kick their butts." "Oh. Yeah, we probably would." So the two continued to watch from the sidelines, waiting for the battle to end.

Worru is to late to turn around as Drom strikes with his spear once more. (6+1<1+12+6) But, sadly, this time the blade misses it's target, Worru having turned enough to have missed it. Seeing this as an opportunity to strike, he swings his blade, (6+2<1+12+6) but, like his opponent before him, he also misses.

Drommlin sucks in his breath as he misses, then sighs with relief as Worru also misses. He grips his spear tightly, then slashes upwards with all his might, silver blade glinting in the sun. He thinks he sees something in one of the trees, but ignores it.

Worru looks down at Drom, (6+2 < 1+12+6) and, luckily, the blade barely misses him, nearly cutting his nose in half, which would have made a rather problematic mess. Gripping his sword tightly, and hoping that he doesn't miss this time, he takes his sword and spins, trying to attack his opponent. (6+20 > 1+12+6 DMG 7) And this time, his blade hits its mark. "Sure you can hold that big thing easily?" he asked.

OOC:..... I think that dice roller hates me.

Drom staggered back in pain. Things weren't going so well for him. Worru was winning by a long shot. Regaining his composure, he gathered up his strength to slash at him once again.

OOC: Hm, guess what? I gotta go. 'Bye!

(6+12 > 1+12+6 DMG 9) And Drom's spear once more hits Worru, another cut now on his form. Reeling back from the hit, Worru tries to regain his composure, and swings his sword at the other boy. (6+15 > 1+12+6 DMG 7) And he also strikes his foe, injuring the boy once more.

Drom had little time to congratulate himself for actually hitting Worru, as a retaliatory attack came immediately. Drom decides to try a different tactic. He rolls around behind him and attempts to whack him with the butt of his spear to stun him.

(6+19 > 1+12+6 DMG 9 + 5(Roll) STUN) Drom's spear strikes, stunning Worru by hiting a point on his back that...that uhm....somehow stunned him. By a stroke of luck, the spear was also spun around, cutting Worru's back to cause more damage. Worru dropped to the ground, his sword still gripped in his hand, stopping him from being disarmed. "That...was a cheap shot..." he mumbled.

"It's called strategy." Said Drommlin. He took his spear and spun it around in a continuous circle so that the blade is close enough to hit Worru on each rotation. If his aim is good.

OOC: But that would be up to the dice roller...

IC: Across the field, the girl comments, "Hm. That was a smart move. But he's still not doing to well." She glances at her brother. "No." he replies. "No intervention, unless one of them is about to die." She turns her head back to the battle at hand.

(6+14 > 1+12+6 DMG 9 x 5 = DMG 45) Worru would've gotten up, the stun having worn off, but the spin of Drommlin's spear had finished him, giving him a rather painful series of cuts across his upper back. As the spear finished spinning, Worru tried once again to stand up, and succeded, but fell back, looking up at the sky.

Even though he had lost the battle, and had several large cuts over him, Worru was smiling, just laying there as he stared at the sky. "Well, Drom, I guess you won." he said, gaze not wandering from the azure sky above. "So, I'll tell you three secrets about Aria. One, she wears pink underwear with red lace. Two, she is much more powerful than either of us thought before. And three..." Worru closed his eyes, and turned his head, so that Drom could still hear him, but not see what he was doing. "She loves you, not me. I never had a chance."

He wiped his eyes, then turned his head back, looking at the sky as it changed colors for the upcoming twilight. "Heh, Drom, you know how many times I just layed out here, just like this, looking up at the stars and wishing? Maybe a thousand times. More or less, it doesn't matter. Not a single one of them came true. Just once, I would like a wish of mine to come true." he said, sounding much unlike the Worru everyone knew.

" . . . So the gerudo has a sort of respect after all, how interesting. I am also interested in how you know these things, Worru." Kasei said, stepping out from one of the trees that dotted the land. The mercinary looked approvingly at Drommlin. "Congradulations on victory, my freind, it was well earned." He said, smiling.

Worru groaned as Kasei appeared, clearly annoyed by the older sheikah's entrance. "Kasei, I'm not gonna tell you. I'm exhausted, I'm sore all over, I'm keepin' my secrets to myself." he said, moving his hands behind his head to cushion it. "Well, this is my third battle I've had, and I've only won one. *sigh* Can't win, can I? In battle or life, the answer is no." he said, sorrowfully.

Drom stepped forward towards Worru. "Listen, I..." He said, and stopped. He sighed, and called Polari the Minish out of the shadows, who casts Life on Worru, healing his wounds, and then disappeared again.The boy and the girl jumped out of the tree and approached them. "Hey, that was a pretty good battle, Drom." Says the boy. Drom's face lights up. "Jacob!" The boy grins. "I was wondering if you would recognize us. It's been a while." The girl squats down next to Worru. "You're cute." She says, obviously not shy in the least. She holds out her hand. "I'm Laura!" She says with a grin. "You must be Worru."

Worru looked at the girl as he lifted himself, porpping himself on the palms of his hands. "Uh, yeah...Hey, Drom? You mind explaining your friends?" he asked, looking quizzically at them. He cast a sideways glance at Drom, wondering what he was going to say before he called Polari. ...Hey, kid? Want me to check his mind? ...No, Ryk...if he wanted to tell me, he would've told me.

Drom grinned. "We were travelling buddies. We used to go everywhere together, but we split before I met up with Leth. They're two of hyrule's greatest mercinaries."
