(((OOC: just wanted to let you know I changed my stats some. Got better agility.)))

OOC: Understood. I would apeciate it if you would post them again. Also, we should get moving on this. I spoke with jack, and South Hyrule is extremely close. Next time Master Goron logs on, all he has to do is open it to us. I would like to finish this.

(((OOC: woot, SOUTH! I posted the new stats over the old ones. Is this okay, or do you want me to make a new post?)))

OOC: Once blank posts, it will move on, and yeah, i check the review topic at the bottom for the stats.

Blank boastfully twirled his sword in the air expertly as he extracted the blade from the now truly dead Stalfos. A grim smirk danced about his face as he stepped back and shook his head in satisfaction. This feeling of victory, however, was short-lived, and Blank found himself once again rushing into the fray. Pyre was being attacked excessively while the nomad maintained all health. Blank did not know him, and so could not feel any obligation to stand in, and yet he knew that the Hylian would be beneficial in this cold place.

Reassuring himself for the last time, Blank crouched slightly, his swords held by his side so that his physical being was a portrait of symmetrical value. He shook his head to keep his unkempt red hair from distracting him by shielding his vision, and then he lunged. It started off at a slow pace, but was followed up by a leap into the air followed by a full circle turn in the air, during which his left-hand sword swung upwards into the oppressive Stalfos' torso. When his body had returned to a forward direction, still in midair, however, the nomad gripped his right-hand sword tightly and thrust powerfully towards the skeletal monster's skull.

OOC: You said "swords" which leads me to belive that you wanted to use Dual Weild, however, you have to declare it. You also didnt delcare which Stalfos you were attacking.

IC: Blank's attack [AGI + Roll= 19] VS [DEF + AGI= 11] flew true, and struck the stalfos head on, dealing 11 damage to the Stalfos, and nearly killing it. In just one shot, the nomad had knocked it from high standards towards death(again) and it slowly got back to it's feet.

Dogura had cleaned his sword, but he wasnt done. He clasped his hands together, and started a chant.[Calm Beast] [Roll=17] VS [Roll + INT= 20] His innate check had succeeded, and a mystical light appeared around Stalfos4. Suddenly it dissapeared from battle. Its sword, sheild and armor hit the ground, and the other stalfos seemed a bit confused. "What sorcery is this?!" One of them cried. Dogura drew his sword, and prepared to counter any on comming attack. [Counter Attack]

~Pyre saw that two of the stalfos were injured. He didn't speak aloud his thoughts, and made no exclamation when the stalfos was removed from the fray. He simply excepted the turn of events, and made a determined rush towards one of the weakened monsters. The sooner he could finish one off, the weaker the entire group would become, and the less harm they could inflict. He lashed out with both his daggers [Dual Wield L1], in a fury quite unlike the usually calm hylian. He aimed to surprise the stalfos, bursting through its defenses, and destroying the undead.~

Pyre's attack [AGI + Roll= 17 +(Dual Wield)] VS [DEF + AGI= 11] hit the stalfos head on, dealing a whopping 12 DMG! (OOC: Since they are weak, i'm going to apply the damage done to two of them) The swords, which were stuck in two stalfos, had pierced their spines, and the two monsters fell to the ground. Only three remained.

OOC: I've got an article due tonight that I haven't even started yet, so sorry if this post sucks

IC:

Blank trampled over the mismatched remains of the two Stalfos, whom Pyre had taken the liberty of vanquishing (such an exaggerated word was necessary, as it appeared that Pyre had utterly destroyed the skeletal beings.) He felt a bone crunch beneath is feet and looked own, but not in time to decide just what body part he had wrecked.

Leaving the Stalfos clan to Dogura and Pyralin would not be befitting of Blank's style, so he immediately leaped at one of the remaining foes and laid waste in his favorite way - a double-sworded cyclone of death. Well, in this situation it really could not be called that. After all, it was far too dark for the nomad to be performing any technique even resembling a cyclone, and furthermore, the enemies were already technically dead.

Not that it mattered, because before he could dwell too deeply on the thought he found himself striking at two separate Stalfos, as Pyre had done in his previous assault. It seemed easy enough to undermine the week, dusty spines that these skeletons were cursed with, and Blank knew that the faster the fight went, the better. This was imperative thinking; if Blank stayed below the surface much longer, he would start to feel nauseous again...

[L3 Dual Wield]

OOC: I honestly dont care about the quality this time, and it was still awesome! Thanks for showing up, I really want to get this over with.

IC: Blank's two handed assult on the beast was a direct hit, instantly putting the Stalfos back to it's eternal slumber.[AGI + Roll=20]VS[DEF + AGI=16]
With that said and done, it was the enemy's turn to attack. The two remaining Stalfos seemed less confident with themselves in their reduced numbers. One of the Stalfos lunged for Blank, arm out-stretched and sword in hand. [AGI + Roll=9] VS [DEF + AGI=19]

The Nomad's defences heavily out weighed the attack from the monster, and his attack was for naught. Leaping back, he nodded to his brother, who was already charging in for an attack of his own. Dogura was his target this time, and he was determined to land a solid blow.[AGI + Roll=8]VS[AGI + DEF=20] However determined the beast was, it appears that the samurai is far too skilled for the Stalfos's movements. Evading the attack with ease, he set himself up for an attack in mid air.

Dogura turned in mid air, and shot like a bullet straight for the spine of the bony beast. Turning like a drill, he drew his rarely used Wolf Head Dagger, and created a ripping drill! [AGI + Roll=15]VS[AGI + DEF=11] dealing a nearly lethal 12 damage! The stalfos was nearly in two, as he stood back up, and backed up to his partner. They were prepared to do battle again.

As Dogura landed, sheathing his dagger, he couldnt help but admire the fact that the monster's werent giving up, even in their current condition. Dogura stood up fully from his crouched position, and called out to his comrades. "Lets end this right now! According to my father, the room in which we seek is just beyond this room."

Stalfos Status(remaining enemies)

OOC: Thanks Blank, we've been waiting for a few moths now! XD
Time to contact Pyre and tell him we're on the move with this again. The purpose of the location was to make it far away from all the action anywhere else. To conseal this, and make it a private mission, like said in the post where you were chosen by the dice. Anyways, after this, Im sorry guys, but you arent going to be done. We have work to do!!

Pyralin took stock of the two remaining, weakened stalfos. They didn't seem like much of a threat, but he didn't underestimate them, jumping backwards, and planting his feet.

The hylian took aim quickly. Because the mosters were skeletal, there was only really one place to strike. He locked eyes with the stronger of the two, and pumped both of his wrists, sending the daggers flying through the air, deadly projectiles that would pierce through the creatures skull.

He wasn't worried about losing his daggers, for he was sure that one of the other two adventurers would finish off the last stalfos before it got a chance to attack him. Then he could retrieve his weapons at leisure.

[Just count it as a duel wield L1]

The daggers shot out of the man's hands like bullets out of a double barreled shotgun, and shot straight through the monster's skull, leaving it's shattered remains at his ally's feet [AGI+Roll=25]VS [DEF + AGI=16]. Dogura gave Pyre the thumb's up, and then looked expectantly to Blank, who would deliver the final attack, and rid them of the remaining enemy.

Pyralin smiled. He had no doubt in his mind that Blank would finish the creature. Even though he seemed weakened, he was still a skilled warrior. In fact it seemed that both of his companions had considerable skill. The hylian didn't sadden though. He was getting use to fighting alongside veterans.

While he stood unarmed, he started to gather magic to himself, and muttered the beginnings of a prayer to the goddess Din. Once Blank finished the stalfos, he would heal the wounds he had sustained, and would be ready to progress deeper into the darkness.

(((OOC: blank's absence is starting to annoy me..........)))

OOC: Sorry guys, the last few times I've tried to type out a response my computer has shut down, twas tedious -_-.... Anyway, I quit the e-Zine I was writing for, so that frees up a bit more of my creativity for the game. ZV, I've neglected your storyline the most, and it was the first one I really got into. I apologize. Let's get this dungeon over with; I'll probably be better with the next part

IC:

The dungeon was a dreary place. The abundance of Stalfos was beginning to bother Blank, despite having already vanquished all but one. He had been hoping for a quick battle, but this one had dragged on and on. Nothing pleased him more than the prospect of being the one to finally end it. Ever since the Stalchild had appeared, Blank had recalled how disgusting the very concept of the Stalfos was.

"Right, well... I guess we can finish this now. You guys seem as bored by this pile of rubbish as I am." Not even really worrying about his own safety, the Hylian walked casually towards the Stalfos. Now, normally this tactic was downright moronic, but Blank was guessing that nothing could go wrong. When he was within a foot of the skeleton warrior, he sheathed both swords and raised his hands in the air. "Peace," he murmured to the monster. A friendly, caring smile rested on his calm face.

But it was soon replaced by a malicious grin. Both hands shot back to his right-handed sword, and tore it from its holster. In a flash, the wooden blade came crashing down on the Stalfos' chest with a force only possible when combined with the jolting reflexive motion.

OOC: FINALLY! This is about to pick up in pace guys! When you get to the Sacred Stones that rest in here, Dogura will explain everything!
(and Im not even going to see if this hit, the battle is as good as over either way you look at it.

IC: The monster fell into a pile of bones, and remained silent ever more. Dogura returned his sword to it's resting place in his sheath, as a sound rang out through the room. The bars had lifted off both doors, and the room was lit by the many torches that simultaniously lit up, all the way down the room. The room fell dead silent, and the path was now open. "Alright, lets proceed further! The stones should be resting in the room just past the room we're about to enter." Dogura called out, opening the stone framed door to the next room.

Upon entering the next room, the door slammed behind the adventurers, crashing down, nearly crushing Dogura, who was closest to the door. It rubbed his back, as it hit the floor. The samurai, a bit shaken, took a look around the room. The room was a bit colder than the last room, and had an eerie silence to it. It was a large room, and it was decorated with Pillars that held the roof of the cave in place. In the middle of the room, there was what looked like a sand pit. On the other side of the room, about 100 yards from where the adventurers stood now, there was a door, which had no type of lock on it what so ever.
