*i head into the wild and attempt to contact the few scientists that survived.*
“Testing communication systems. Can you hear me?”
English
-
At first the line is only static, then you hear faint classical music...
-
“Oh good. I can’t talk to anyone from out here.” *I turn back and report my findings. I then head to the temple.*
-
You begin making your way towards the source of the bells. The storm reduces your visibility to a few feet ahead of you, but through the snow you see a few humonoid shapes crouched over something. As you get closer, you see what appears to be people digging long clawed fingers into a fallen survivor. One turns to you with solid white eyes and snarls.
-
“I don’t think these will help as much this time but it’s worth a shot!” *I toss a vial of magical essence extractor at them. I then ready my blade.*
-
The vial breaks and the beasties sniff it, then snarl at you before returning to their meal seemingly unthreatened by your presence at the moment...
-
“Oh good. No guilt about killing this time.” *I try to get passed unnoticed.*
-
They let you pass! You march through the snow and the cold. Ahead of you appears to be a man. He stands with his back towards you, unmoving...
-
“Hey buddy? You ok?” *I ignite my sword to prepare for battle.*
-
The man turns to you with a smile you recognize as your own. He raises an arm and the flesh twists into a blade of bone. He then lunges forward with a laugh!
-
*I try to block his attack and swing at his head!*
-
Your blades clash! As it raises its blade to swing again you decapitate it! The severed head continues laughing as three spidery legs grow out of it while the main body drops its blade down again!
-
*I try to entrap it within a nanite bubble.*
-
The blade, the head, or the whole thing?
-
(The head. That seems most threatening.)
-
Its trapped, the laughter is muffled! The body swings at you again while its chest opens up to become a vertical mouth full of long, sharp teeth!
-
“HATE THAT!” *I try to back up and slash at it.*
-
Your blades clash yet again as it roars, spittle flying at you from its very large mouth, with its other hand it attempts to grab you!
-
*I shift the nanite armor around my hand into a spike and I try to impale it.*
-
You impale its hand and it pushes it down towards your arm as its fingers extend with long claws at its tips! It attempts to dig them into your arm! With its blade arm, it attempts to stab you!
-
“Crap!” *I reshift the nanites in the spike into a helicopter blade like structure to chop off its hand. I try to make my armor absorb most of the damage from the stab.*
-
The hand is severed and the arm begins to form a spike of bone! Your armor manages to absorb most of the blades damage but the tip manages to pierce it! The severed hand begins crawling off into the dark...
-
“Just die already!” *I shift the bubble around the head into spikes that impale the head. I then try to stab this undying creature.*
-
The laughter stops! You slash at the Doppleganger and sever the bladed limb at the shoulder! The Doppleganger roars at you once more and throws its whole body at you!
-
*I turn my sword into a spear and turn the doppelgänger into a shish kebab.*
-
It gurgles as the blade pierces its center and finally falls!
