"Nidget get behind me." I wasn't saying that, because thats like inviting a thief to stand behind you while your distracted; actually thats exactly what you are doing. Andre had his shield drawn and was advancing on the angry rock spirit that had swelled in size (previously I'd heard of that and just figured people were dumb, I guess like a lot of things in life I was wrong). I have to say I considered running away, but since these two idiots had been sent to in theory get me (and I didn't know Nidget at the time) I stuck around against my better judgement (I'll admit this was also morbid curiosity).
Andre for his part seemed dead set in blocking the rock creature, which seemed idiotic considering metal versus living rock would seemingly be a loser for metal. And it was, the creature smashed into Andre's shield and he fell backward, but this was at least somewhat of a "plan" as when the creature landed the blow Nidget launched off Andre's back and on to the spirit, making his way for the "neck" of the creature. His blows seemingly landed ineffectively (again metal versus rock IS NOT A WINNER FOR METAL). Nidget called out to me and tossed a pistol he was carrying somewhere (previously I had just run from them to avoid this rock creature, so it wasn't like I really checked over exactly what he was carrying). I wasn't expecting much of a difference (again bullets are made of metal, and the rock creature is MADE OUT OF ROCK), but I emptied the revolver as fast as I could and the bullets as I suspected smashed against the rock but did nothing.
The creature was able to smash Nidget off of it with little difficulty and the shorty collapsed to the ground with a slump. Andre rushed to his aide and retreated from the rock spirit with Nidget on his shoulder, which left me the only combatant in theory able to destroy the beast. So I did what I do best and ran (look I tried really hard to kill with eight bullets, that enough). I would have kept running if I hadn't slammed head long into Toneron Hanlon who just as always appeared out of no where.
"Trezlan! Great to see you buddy!" He was a little too happy for just appearing out of nowhere.
"GIANT ROCK CREATURE!" I pointed with all the subtlety of a five year old afraid of the monsters in the dark. Toneron looked at me very much the paren to my monster and pulled out a gun from somewhere (again not really paying a super lot of attention to where people were hiding weaponry) and fired one shot instantly killing the rock spirit.
"How did you? With what? What are you?" I was mystified, Andre was relieved and Toneron was mildly annoyed.
"Trezlan its not what you fire at your enemy, but where you fire, seriously after all these years I'd think of all people you'd have figured that out." It was a total lie, it has to be. I still have no idea what Toneron is, but he didn't just happen to know the weak spot of a Rock Spirit, he's some kind of demon creature with magic bullets. Yes my explination works a lot better than his does. DEAL WITH IT!
