Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-36855838-20190819050250/@comment-35836714-20190819195617

As the figure approached me i could only move when the beat hit, otherwise my body didn't respond to any of my actions. This seemed to be some kind of magic field streched across the whole dungeon, but not that it would hinder me from looting that place dry. First though i had to get rid of all those enemys, a task easier said than done.

To my luck i had brought my trusty spear with me, it doesn't do all that much damage, but it's a good weapon to keep some distance to close range fighters like a minotaur. As she closed the distance i prepared for the inevitable fight by taking a stance and internalize the beat in order to move without delay.

Then came the clash, even though she was still some steps away from me i could already attack thanks to my extended reach and there it was, the first blood belonged to me. Or should i say the first mana wound as the spear was made out of demon realm silver. Some would say that it is even more effective than normal steel as any "wound" would drain more and more energy from the target.

By the second beat after the clash she was still a little bit to far away to hit me with her axe and i poked her a second time. Then on the third beat i did what many adventurer would learn the hard way, i took a step to the side. Why? well because minotaur can't change the direction once the started a charge, so i just poked her from the side again. A direct hit to the chest and the minotaur went down while creaming herself, marvelous, now to the next enemy.

A few werebats, orcs and slimes later the place seemed to be getting more and more void of any sign of enemies. With all the gold i collected so far i could actually live a rather comfortable life now, but my greed has reached new hights. I was sure that i would leave this place as the richest adventurer that has ever lived, until i saw her, the floor boss the red dragon. Instantly my confidence dwindled away, for my spear was like a toothpick to her harder-than-steel abs. I couldn't even escape with my loot as she had already spotted me from the corner, but i won't give up not without a fight. I know that i cant approach her from the front otherwise her breath will cook me alive, so i did a series of sidesteps to close some distance between us. I know i have one advantage, which is speed, dragons can only move every second beat so i just had to cycle her and poke at the right time.

Well sounds easy enough doesn't it? Wrong! it's hard, really hard, especially if you have to move within the beat. Ohh and if i haven't mentioned it up until now, i have no armor so it's one hit kill for her. Easy now, easy now i am getting in poking range so be carefull. Alright one poke down, now sidestep and sidestep again, poke, sidestep, sidestep, poke. carefull, carefull.....WHAT!!!!! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT WEREBAT COME FROM. FUCK FUCK FUCK FFFFF and she slapped me.

"But wait why am i not dead and looted for that matter? " i asked surprised.

"Well it's cause instead of gold, which i have enough of, i am gonna keep you my treasure bun." answerd the red dragon delightfully.

"Well i can live with that too i guess."
