(Lol @ Randomguy. Don't expect to be seeing much of him after this?)

Mithras had been tracking a pair of booted footprints for almost two days through the light snow surround Gods-Reach, and had passed three different campsites in that time. She knelt down to examine a print, still betting on it being her two missing friends who had gone missing a few days ago, even though she hadn't actually seen the two. They had traveled form the small town where Randomguy, the groups warrior, had been resting after his leg had been injured in a fight against some wolves. Sera (a blond elf,) their groups hunter and Delilah (a redhead human,) their groups mage had gone out of the town, leaving their comrade behind to let Mithras know where they were going. That had been five days ago.

They had been going to Gods-Reach to find someone that might be able to heal Randomguy a little faster, so that they could investigate what was going on in the area as a group. But Mithras had found their tracks leading into the woods about a quarter of the way up the mountain, and so had followed them. She'd traveled as fast as she could form daybreak until dusk, and believed that she'd gained most of the ground between them. She'd found a dead bear and a few dead wolves, obviously killed by fire spells which Delilah preferred and well placed arrows, reinforcing the idea that her comrades had gone off track for some reason.

She followed the tracks for about two hours, until snow began to lightly fall from the sky. Mithras cursed, as the snow might hide her friends tracks, which were already fading. Hurrying, she hiked for another twenty minutes before she found herself staring at the entrance to a cavern. It was wide enough for six people to walk into comfortably, and tall enough for her to fight effectively without worrying about her sword scraping against the ceiling. The passageway was so smooth that she almost believed that it might be worked stone, if not for the stalactites and stalagmites that she could see further in. It was utterly dark inside, so she could only see about twenty feet in, but her friends tracks disappeared inside.

Was Mithras going to risk entering the cavern, or perhaps go and find help instead? Gods-Reach was within sight, atop the mountain, and she could probably get there within a day. She might not be able to find the cave again, however, and Sera and Delilah could need her help within.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

Mithra was in front of the cave. Her dark mantle cape had some snow, at least she was full dressed with silk and cotton royal blue clothes than make game with her armor and gauntlets, so she was fine dressed to resist the cold temperature of the mountain, anyway she feels uncomfortable as her breasts leak milk a little in her damp bandages than she use. Certainly she will be unable to found the cave again and anyway she don't need any help to save her friends, she was proud of her skills in combat and survival than help her to go out intact of Artmist. "It had been a long road to reach this cave, if only i had a torch or maybe i could try to use the magic than i learn from Delilah ...I'm not so good but i will try" Mithra through as she focus her magic on her eyes and body.

Maybe she could try it a pair of times if she fail or try to use a magic more easy

(OCC: can i use a 10?DnD)

Action: try to use cat eyes magic

(No, you can't take 10 in this game. But in situations like this that are out of combat I tend to skip the roll portion for expediencies sake and just say it works. However, with 4 Base Casting, I think I have to make an exception.)

Casting: Success.

Wtf. The rolls were all 20s.

Mithras spell succeeds, allowing her to see into the darkness. A passageway leads down into the ground, and no hostile creatures or traps block Mithras way. Entering, she begins down the stone passageway, the strange cavern leading steadily downwards. After a few moments, she nimbly dodges out of the way as a stalker leaps out at her! A demon, here!? Her friends must be in some sort of trouble, if they'd left this creature behind. The gray-skinned demon turned back toward her, its sharp teeth showing in a wicked grin as it flexed its claws at her. Its surprise attack might have failed, but it clearly had no intention of trying to flee.

Mithras glow in a green aura and soon her eyes had turned into some kind of feline eyes, she had also little claws in her fingers. "Amazing, i made it at the first try" The swordswoman wall toward the cave with her weapons in her belt. Then suddenly she spot a stalker in his way to attack her, but thanks to her new cat like vision avoid it giving a quick back step, she looks how the creature had the desire to fight her "its weird than my allyes don't had kill him, poor don't know what he is doing"

In a quick motion Mithra take out her sword of her belt and take it with both hands in a dueling stance "Its a shame, certainly you are just a lesser deamon, maybe you cant even talk,oh well at least i can train a little with you" Said Mithra as send a slash to the creature and then get prepare to dodge his attack in a cicle than possible will end until the creature die.

Mithras sword rent a gash in the demons side, though it wasn't nearly as harmful as it could have been. What's more, her circular movement allowed her to easily avoid his return attack, the demons claws not even coming close to hitting her. It was still standing, ready for her to try for the finishing blow.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

(OCC: i need to storage my luck for important things X D )

The first attack of Mithra was not enough to kill the creature, something than the elf was whishing, she need to warm up in case than her friends were in real danger. "Ok, i think than this creature isnt enought for that, maybe i will found a better challenge ahead, i must be carefull".


She continued walking in circle until in a instant rush toward the creature trying to cut his head in the process with a quick and letal blow.

Action: same.- hit with two hands, hard hit and dueling

Mithras next attack kills the demon, decapitating it and sending its still grinning head tumbling to the floor separately from its body. With no other threats evident, Mithra was free to continue down the cavern, her magic still allowing her to see in the total darkness. It was wider here, but still she had only one path to choose, unless she wanted to turn back.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

The swordswoman make a quick move of her sword cleaning it of the blood of the unworthy opponent "foolish creature, you had never a chance" she though as proceed her path to the deepest part of the cave in her stealth mode, this time trying to spot any creature or clue from her allies.

She leave the body on the floor, maybe she could take his skin when she return.

Mithras proceeded further down the tunnel, leaving the demons corpse behind her. She slowly made her way down into the earth, moving as silently as she could, though she couldn't help but make a little noise here and there, the sounds of her movements amplified a hundredfold in the narrow stone corridor. For almost fifteen minutes she slunk through the cave, until Mithras spotted light coming from up ahead. The light was dim and flickering, and she could smell smoke as it slowly wafted up the tunnel towards her, suggesting a fire as the source. The presence of the demon in the tunnel suggested that the source was probably hostile, though for all she knew it could be Mithras friends taking a rest. Regardless, the only ways for her to go were forward and back, so unless she wanted to leave, she had to keep going.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

It was a little boring walk, she was getting tired to walk slowly trying to dont get spoten and even making a big noise as she pass, fortunately there was any foe who take the chance to fight her until she saw a little fire ahead, before get closer she tried another magic to mix it with her cat vision, she tried to avoid any light or signal and started to focus into her body.

(Forgot to put it up in your status. It's okay though since it hasn't mattered yet. I also forgot to keep the EP cost. Assuming after that you go toward the fire trying to be sneaky. If that's not what you want to do, send me a PM.)

Her spells combined gave Mithra almost unparalleled vision and hearing, and so she advanced toward the source of the light confidant that she would detect anything attempting to hide from her. Making her way down the passage, she spotted a woman in skin tight black leather garb sitting in front of a fire. She was kneeling in a meditative position, her back to Mithra. The elven warrior was unable to make out any of her features other than her clothing, and her raven hair that was bound up in a ponytail. The fire made her skin color difficult to determine, and from this angle Mithra couldn't see her face. She made no sound or movement as Mithra entered the room, suggesting that she didn't detect her.

The fire stood in the center of the room, which was large, roughly forty feet across in any direction, and perfectly cylindrical. The stone here seemed to have been shaped rather than belonging to any natural cavern. A large passageway located directly across from where she'd entered led to parts unknown, and there was also a smaller tunnel on the right wall.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

The elf was very surprised to had succed in her experiment, she ussualy dont had the chance to try it and less use a mix of magics, she left the girl alone as she dont know if is a demon guardind the passage and she evade any unnesesary combat, she reached another room and before take off the allsight she look inside the smaller tunnel and the large hall as her magic could help her to decide wich one choice, trying to detect foes or clues of what kind of place is this, then she will turn off allsight and if she dont saw nothing important she would choice the smaller tunnel on the right wall.

(It still takes the EP costs.)
(Perception (Enemy): Failure.)

Finding no further threats in the room or in the areas she can see of the passageways beyond, Mithra allows her spell to deactivate and heads down into the smaller tunnel. It turns into a spiral staircase going downwards, and she follows it as silently as possible. All the while, the woman meditating in front of the fire doesn't seem to notice her, never once opening her eyes, though Mithra notices as she passes by that the woman is incredibly beautiful, her face well defined but at the same time carrying a comforting softness to it.

Descending down, she stops a few steps above a landing as she sees another source of light, though this is white and steady, probably caused by magic rather than an open flame. She can hear voices speaking below her in a language which she recognizes from her time in Artmirst as demonic, though she hadn't the slightest idea of what was said. Footsteps echoed from that direction, though she had no idea of what their source might be. A moment of listening allowed Mithra to hear a faint whimpering, probably that of a woman, which also came form the room connected to the landing a few steps below her.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

The trip inside the cave was very boring until she heard the demonic idiom and the muffers, could be that the team of Mithra was caught by them, she decide to wait until she could get down easily and then look more close to then check the moaning noise, trying to dont being spotted

Mithra slowly made her way down the last few steps, trying to be as quiet as possible, before peeking her head around the corner. She looked into a fairly well lit chamber, a white orb floating in the center providing enough light for her to see everything inside. The room was about forty feet across and seventy feet from where she hid to the opposite wall, and in the center two more demons like the one she'd initially encountered were sitting at a table in the center, playing a game of chess and looking bored. The walls were lined with cages, about a dozen of them in all, and half of them were empty. Those that were inhabited had people lying on the floor in bundles of rags, all unconscious. As far as she could tell, all of them were women, though Mithra didn't recognize any of them as her friends, and one of them, a women in the far right corner from the door, was sobbing quietly, apparently the sound of the noise. Another demon, this one human-like, paced back and forth, examining the people in the cells. At the moment, he was heading toward the sobbing girl from the left corner, though he would be turning in the general direction of the entrance after he passed her cage. None of them seemed to notice her watching them from the doorway.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

Mithra had her crossbow in an easy access case in her left thigh, she take it and lock the humanoid demon as she easily could defeat both creatures later, her sword was stored in her other founded in the right side of her belt, she then shoot to the head of him, trying to dont be seen by the demons until the humanlike creature scream in pain, maybe she could in that way had another safe hit or escape if the situation get worse.

Mithras crossbow bolt arced through the air and struck the man directly in the gut, slightly off target due to the far distance. He doubled over in pain with a startled grunt, and then looked up directly at her. He then pulled the bolt out of his stomach, and spoke, his voice hoarse with pain and in a language she couldn't understand, but the intent of which was clear; "Intruder!" The two demons at the table stood up, and started rushing toward her. One of them stretches a hand out, and Mithra shuts her eyes just as a blinding flash of light rushes out toward her, which would certainly have left her temporarily unable to see if she hadn't closed her eyes in time. The two gray demons were now within fifteen feet, while the injured one was still a good fifty feet away from her.

Mithras gust of magical wind hurled itself against the two demons as they tried to close on her, throwing one of them off his feet and sending him sliding back against the caverns floor, while the other bent forward, pushing his weight against the wind and managing to remain upright. The man-like demon was unaffected by her spell, as he was out of its range. Then, the one that had remained standing through her gust began casting another spell, and before Mithra could react to it, a blinding ray of light lanced out form the demons hands. Her skin burned and blistered at its touched, and her armor began to smoke slightly from the heat, but the worst of it came with her eyes. Her vision became spotty and dark, and she could barely see anything. She could still hear, however, and she knew that someone was standing closer to her, within arms reach, probably the demon who'd just blinded, given the fact that the other one still had to stand back up, while the wounded one hadn't been moving nearly fast enough to close the distance between them that fast.

Re: Mithra (plmnko)

The swordswoman saw how the power of her magic was still very weak to use in the battlefield and then she receive the impact of the magic, her eyes were now blind and she just press her teeth, as she was ready with her crossbow stored and her sword in hand. Mitha stoped to check her powers and focussed in the battle and her foes, she had trained with her eyes closed before and the place was very quiet to dont notice where the demon was, she could even sense his smell and with a quick move using her sword with both hands she try to slice him.
