Whenever I commit a crime there is always some kind of guard, or passerbye or witness, or something there to see me. I don't know how it is, and its not like I'm normally intending on committing crimes and take care to not have witnesses or authority figures nearby (no no not me I'm honest). The opposite happens when I get attacked, accosted, kidnapped, bamboozled, or otherwise inconvenienced! I'm actually of the belief that the guards are in on this! Universally if I'm in trouble they are never there ever! All cities, all countries in this world leave me alone. Like I exude some "Someone might kill him this time aura."
This is all just to explain how I fought in a major city with two creatures of darkness and not a damn person helped! I was propped along the wall my sword held loosely my vision slightly blurred from the hangover/just waking up. The creatures were stark naked, their bodies were covered in scars almost like they'd been stitched together from other beasts from down below. The one obvious feature I had to watch out for were claws, on all four of their appendages. The alleyway was somewhat narrow, which played into my strength (that being a two on one loses some of its advantage when the two have to attack from the same area), but from the looks of the claws they probably had some kind of poison or other nonesense on them, which put me at the "if I get cut I'm dead" playing field. I also had the earth champion sword, which as I'd already seen, cut through these guys like butter, and of course I use fire like some people have bad gas.
The sword was in my left hand, with my right I gathered some power. I didn't have to wait very long for the attack, the one on the right lunged forward its teeth snapped as it launched itself in the like a dog trying to bring down a larger animal. Its lunge my have been scary to someone who was perfectly sober and hasn't faced worse, but not so for one Trezlan Lorentino (don't know if I should be sad or happy about that statement). A burst of fire threw off the lunge, and a quick sword thrust to his midsection split open his intestines coating me in a bit of black goo, the creature howled as the sword impaled it (probably from the touch alone). The body collapsed behind me, I turned my attention to the remaining creature which was not waiting to be tagged in before it tried to claw me to oblivion. It opted for a straight thrust of those claws hoping the guts of his comrade would blind me, obviously he knew nothing of my abiltity to be coated in the guts of my enemies! With a simple parry I cut off the claws and since its thrust brought its head forward I was able to swing wide and behead the beast before it could make another move (like a kick with its freaky claw feet). I heard its teeth clicking in its head as the cursed thing hit the ground with a slump.
I had to move, outside of just murdering two things (which again despite them trying to kill me is hard to actually explain to a passing guard) I knew that Val was in trouble and I better check the Flagon Slayer for a lead or something (maybe he left another note? I didn't know he was somehow able to get me the first note!) I was also hoping he had something to clean up for me, because I could start to smell the remains of what I'd just killed and damn was it ever nasty! I made it inside the Flagon Slayer just in time to run across a man standing with two more of the creatures I'd just killed. The man looked a little bit like Morley, although ever pale as a corpse looking person always does in my mind.
"Champion, good of you to join us, after all I'd hate for you to miss your funeral." And that's where I'll leave you, again me facing odds not in my favor. But as I showed earlier, more numbers is just more of an opportunity to win! Or something, I dunno I've been trying to have more positive thinking as of late, its not helped at all, but I do find myself smiling like an idiot more often.
