Grim Incident [quest]

[Saiduq]

"Dude, you said that last time." groaned an ordinary looking player, blond hair cascading on his now drooping face. His head shook left to right, still attempting to deny the person in front of him. Obviously, reading into context clues and facial expression helps determine what was going on. He wanted no part of his friend, Saiduq today. Not after the last meeting where he was left on the field having to defend himself against the odds, while his partner failed to show his face until the very end despite coming up with the idea. This is an example of what happens to some noobs.

"C'mooon man. I was -- hell...what was I doing? Oh that right! Look at this necklace man, its made of...whatever the hell -- bones I guess. Pretty schway on me, eh?"

[/b] Dull pools of onyx, glistening with a sudden interest as they waved from the necklace shoved forward, displaying the gold bones to the onlooker, to Fiddles indifferent facade. "Ok. Ok. Mybad, man. I did raise you though, at least give me that. I jus- I jus' need this one favor and I'll split whatever gold."[/b] Lips twitched, a smile wiggling on his feminine face, dark eyebrows rising in anticipation. One may think that smile advertised a sign of promise and innocence, however, in reality Saiduq already knew he had this person in his pocket. Poor gullible friend.

"Fine." Hook. Line. And sinker. At least he would get some gold out of this idea. Even if he's the sheep thrown in for the slaughter. "I just gotta wait here until it's dark?"

The horned boy nodded, a big smile praised his friend for accepting the unknown. The power of friendship and the gullible knows no bounds. "I'll be right over there."[/b] A black hand rose and a claw like finger pointed on top of one of the buildings. The nimble furry was light on his feet, it didn't take him long to distant himself, allocating to the area he pointed at. He sighed, loathing what comes next. The waiting game, oh how he loathed it.

Finally, the game clock moved forward, enveloping the sunny sky with a starry blanket. Leaning against the wall was Saiduq, arms folded, lips pursed. Like a hawk, he observed the scene below him, attention right on Fiddles. The night wind breezed past, trying to take lengthy stands of raven hair along. With a swipe of the hand, hair was removed from his vision as he leaned forward, mind tinkering.

Today Sai decided to settle on gaining his first quest upon joining Grant. For the record, he believed the game title is horrible, but allowed the game play to speak and it spoke volumes; twenty or so hours of fun. In any case, this leads him to snatching up a mission, one that seem to be the most interesting of them all. The one hit, K.O. dilemma. The mysterious beast creeper assaults victims at night, explaining why he played the atrocious waiting game and the reason for his little guinea, twitch and swiveling around at suspicious noises. Only information that bother him, rattling his brain, was how on earth did this mysterious target stave off damage. Nothing fazed it. So hopefully, his equipment and smart assist in toppling this mission, ending the reign of the enigmatic beasty.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are."[/b] he cooed, lips curling. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Shroud]

Light on its feet, it swiftly ran through the back alleys of the great city it had not been captured yet, nor had it been put down this monstrous creature though imposing in size was very intelligent, and keen to its environment. Its moist nose scanned the air trapping the scent of a new victim, fueled by a ravenous hunger for flesh it moved even faster then before as it closed in on its target, this evident from the intensity of the scent. It's ears twitched, as it paused for a moment it was picking up sounds the sounds of its prey to properly locate it, the sounds bounced off of its ears, and created a mental picture for the blind Werebat. Not to be confused with a werewolf or a vampire, the Werebat was a creature all its own, invented by Phalanx as homage to the two classic horror movie monsters. The creature had found him, its prey in its mind it could see the sonar picture of black, and white making out the image of the would be meal.

Without much time wasted it jumped up to the nearest wall climbing with great haste, and stealth mid way up it started traveling horizontally across the wall making its way around the building, until finally it was there. The perfect 'pounce' position, its ears wiggled, and its nostril sniffed the meal was there ready for the taking without much ado the beast leaped off the wall! Spreading its arms out in doing flaps of skin spread downward like rolled up curtains under the creatures arms allowing it to descent towards its target at whatever speed it desired, and if need be manipulate its own diving path. Opening its mouth which was adorned with razor sharp teeth capable of piercing, and tearing flesh it would let out a blood curdling shriek to stun its prey long enough for it to grab hold of him, and bite down on whatever fleshy part its mandibles first got a hold of.
