Urist Helsing, Monster Hunter
« on: December 28, 2012, 10:04:32 pm »

Recently i downloaded the Fear The Night mod, and decided to make a series about my adventurers dieing to LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVER.

I am Otur Tempestbolts, and i am dead.

I suppose this requires some explanation. I used to be a monster hunter, traveling the globe in search of creatures of the night. Or atleast, i tried to be. I lived a normal life, right up until my fourth birthday, the day my brother died. We threw a party when a child was seen, watching from the distance. He was invited over, and danced and played with all of the others until we played Blunderball, a sport involving a lot of roughhousing. He was shoved to the ground, and started changing. His transformation complete, he stood as a eight-foot-tall Werescorpion. He roared and charged at a table, flipping it and pinning my brother as the monster advanced upon him, claws clicking in anticipation. I watched in horror as my friends and family were ripped apart until this monster, this horror disappeared into the forest. It plagued my nightmares, and still does to this day. I promised myself to save the world from this plague, and i kept to that promise. Years, training my mind and body to the peak, becoming a crack shot with a crossbow, and a decent axe-fighter, as well as learning to hold a shield and wear armor correctly. I set my mind to the cause, to the point of scaring my family. I had no friends, but that was okay, as the only friends i needed were my weapons. I left them thinking i had given up, while training even harder, training to bring a hail of good upon the hordes of the dark. I had gone in the morning, armed with my knowledge and my weapons, to fight the dark. I headed for the forest, remembering the lore of the werebeings that dwell within. I had brought with me Ote, my merc companion, to help me kill the wretched beasts, knowing that the bogeymen prey upon the lonely. I soon found a lair, and snuck in. Almost at once, i heard yelling, and i froze, realizing a couple seconds later that the inhabitant was insane. I creeped in deeper, seeing a small obese child, sitting at the corner yelling at nothing and swatting the air. He saw me the same second that i saw him, locking eyes. He charged at me and i fired my crossbow, tearing through the left side of his gut. He started transforming, his body lengthening and twisting as i watched, morbidly fascinated. He charged and Ote's bolt bounced right off, seconds before the Werescorpion impaled him to the wall with his pincer. The monster turned his head, and stabbed me with his tail, while trying to pull his claw out of the stone. He pulled it out, causing huge chunks of rock to fly everywhere, some hitting me. I flew into the cave wall and slumped down, stunned. I felt nothing... but then i felt something. Rage. Rage, filling me, replacing pain, fear, remorse, everything. I stood up shakily, my vision tinted brown. My body felt peculiar, as if someone had replaced my blood with magma. I watched as my body changed, morphed into the very creature i had hated for so long. I looked up, seeing the monster smiling a malicous parody of a smile. I charged, and he took me down with a swipe to the knees. He raised his foot, and i saw black. Now they tell me i earned the right to be reincarnated forever as one of the demi-heroes of lore.


Next adventurer incoming!

SO. MANY. PERIOOOOODS.

Embrace your Fear of the Dark. For the night is long, and the sunset has just gone by.

Now you will know why you Fear the Night.

Ouch. When seeking to kill monsters it is important not to become one. Literally becoming one is a step further.

Let them share their powers with you to overcome theirs. Then ridden the world of the scum that plagues the lands.

It is your mission. It is your destiny.

By the way, artistic license was taken. Also, MY WRITING IS HORRID.

I have a new body, but i must train it. Armok blessed me with a orphaned body, for whenever i think of my family, i start tearing up. I left on the eleventh of Obsidian, to pursue a monster best left alone. I trekked many long, cold days into the wilderness before i found it. It was a miracle i could, for it was simply a hole in the ground, barely large enough for me to fit. I crept in, hearing the bone-chilling screams that to this day terrify me. There was a man, wearing a shredded mockery of a doctor's outfit, screaming at the wall. He saw me and charged, missing. I fired my bolt, only for it to bounce off his chitin as he transformed. He sliced me with a gigantic pincer, sending me flying. I collided with the wall, watching with fading sight as my guts spilled before me. The monster came over, and with surgical precision started snatching at my limbs, tearing them to pieces before my eyes. The last thing i saw were what used to be my legs getting severed. I felt oddly at ease, taking comfort in the fact that next time, i would do better. Yes, much better...

(I did the first at like 1 in the morning, sorry)

Just a tip, you might want to read up the material weaknesses of the Fear the Night stuff. Otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.

Raid ALL the fortresses for loot!

I mean honestly, I'm annoyed by all the ranged combat/ammo stuff I find instead of the one kind of items that I look for.
You'll probably find some appropriate ammo soon enough. And as a side note, ranged combat is extremely risky because reloading takes a really long time.

And the fact that the Fear the Night stuff is some hardcore stuff, you'd be far better off whacking it to death.
..And by "far better off" I mean "won't be torn limb-from-limb the moment you start the fight". You may still very well end up trashed and mutilated, but at least you might hurt. :P

Yep. I tried killing a red werewolf with ADAMANTINE once and it did almost nothing. Then I used silver? *boom* headshot.

Also for the future, don't even try taking down a master vampire unless you feel like a lucky punk.

We (AKA me the hardcore 'venturer, some lashers and a bunch of peasants) had this guy totally cornered, and he was down on the ground from some lucky legshots I got in..
..And he was literally snatching every shot in the air that were fired off by the two archers I had with me. And I spent like fifteen actual minutes just trying to beat him down.

Because holy damn, that guy was impossible to hit (magical dodging powers from hell), and there's no damn way I could get that damned bronze crossbow out of his clutches. (Because you see, PARRYPARRYPARRY)
He ended up going from Crossbowman to Hammermaster before his eventual demise from bleeding out. Holy crap.

Yeah, I'm gonna make an adventure tomorrow. I got bit by a red werewolf, became a necro, turned the necro and watched him beat down his own zombies because zombies always attack werewolves. I just decided to kill him, and left. Killed a dwarf in a lair, then a goblin used his ATOM-SMASHA FIST and killed me in one hit.
