Yo, that was... uh, part of the plan. Yeah, totally meant to summon... that. waves away the smoke, coughing, pretending to scrutinize the result
Uh, yeah. So, like, we did it right, obviously. It's just, like, the outcome... wasn't what we were expecting? But, hey, we tried, right? I mean, that's what counts. #winning
Nah, man, that's not a werewolf. That's like, a shadow or something. We totally didn't summon some kind of dark demon. No way. Definitely not. It's just, uh, a... shadow. Yeah, a shadow with teeth. No big deal.
Chill, Lanaedi, it's fine. Look, I don't know what this shadow thing is or where it came from, but I'm sure it's harmless. Probably just here to hang out and, like, make friends or whatever shadows do when they're not busy being ominous. So, like, let's just give it a chance and see where this goes. Who knows, maybe it'll turn into a great companion or even a pet! Plus, think about how cool we'll be if we manage to tame this mysterious creature. Imagine all the likes and followers we'll get on social media when everyone finds out we've got our very own personal shadow companion. We'll be famous, Lanaedi! So, let's stop whining and start shadow-training!
OK BUT LIKE IS IT A GOOD THING OR BAD THING THAT WE BROKE THE PLAN-
Look, I mean, who needs plans anyway? Plans are overrated. It's all about the journey, baby! And we're gonna embark on this epic journey together, me and you, Lanaedi.
Awesome! So, first things first, we gotta figure out what this shadow creature wants. Like, does it want snacks? Does it want belly rubs?
Food!? Did it say food!?!?
Wait, it did say something? What did it say, Lanaedi? Come on, spill the beans! Don't keep me hanging here. Give me the tea, girl!
snatches the food from Lanaedi Woah, woah, woah! Hold up there, partner. You think just because it said something, we should just feed it?
Omg omg omg omg. It said "blood"
<The shadow creature lunges at Garroth, sinking its teeth into his arm.>
Holy shit! Lanaedi, that thing is seriously crazy! Like, seriously crazy!
It’s thirsty for blood!!!
Thirsty for blood? Seriously, Lanaedi, seriously? What the hell kind of monster are we dealing with here?
Wait wait wait opens a book grrrr….here you go~! ❤️❤️
grabs Lanaedi's book and flips through the pages Whoa, hold up a sec, Lanaedi.
Oh oh oh- Got ya! Put the book down
narrows his eyes at Lanaedi Seriously, girl? Seriously? You're gonna tell me to put the book down after you just unleashed this bloodthirsty monster on us? And here I was thinking we were gonna have a chill hangout session. But hey, who am I to question your questionable judgment? puts the book down reluctantly Fine, let's see what this book says. Maybe it has some killer tips on how to tame this beast or summon a superhero to save our sorry asses. But if it's just a bunch of pointless ramblings and nonsensical gibberish, I swear to all that is holy, Lanaedi, I'm blaming you for our inevitable demise.
Alright, alright, alright, listen up, Lanaedi! We've got a situation here, and we need to deal with it ASAP. No more dilly-dallying, no more second-guessing. We gotta come up with a game plan, and fast.
tries to get the monsters attention
claps his hands together Alright, listen up, you bloodthirsty beast!
waves his hands in front of the monster Yo, you ugly piece of crap! Listen up, because I'm only gonna say this once. We're not your lunch, okay? So back the hell off before we unleash some serious ass-kicking on your sorry ass. Trust me, you don't wanna mess with us.
puffs up his chest, getting all hyped up Hell yeah, Lanaedi! Did you see the look on its face?
<The monster attacks Garroth again, this time sinking its teeth into his neck. Garroth collapses, losing consciousness and barely clinging to life. Lanaedi panics and desperately searches for a solution to save her friend.>
Oh shit indeed, Lanaedi. Looks like our little monster here has got a taste for trouble. Time to bring out the big guns!
grabs the magical book again
coughs weakly Lanaedi, you better have something up your sleeve...or maybe even a whole sleeve full of tricks up there.
Uses spell to trap monster inside lamp
gasping for breath, groaning Damn, girl, you're a real badass! Trapping that nasty-ass monster inside a lamp?
weakly raises a finger Don't you worry, Lanaedi. I may be down, but I'm definitely not out. Just need a little...time...to...regroup...and recharge... passes out, still weak
carries Garroth back to our dorm
slowly regains consciousness, groaning Ugh...what the hell happened? Did we just fight a monster? Did I die and come back to life? Am I in an alternate dimension? This is one hell of a trippy adventure, Lanaedi. But hey, at least we made it out alive...well, mostly alive.
