Roll 4----I'd suggest that you use your abillities more often in battle, since your enemies definitely will (if they have any).
--
Also, I forgot to mention that whenever you win a roll using a weapon/skill or parrying/dodging, and also use buff abilities, you gain 1 EXP point for said skill/weapon type or defense type. When enough exp accumulates, you get a passive that increase stuff like parry, dodge, attack with a weapon type or a small upgrade in the skill's case.--
Mercenary 1Daxon looks at you as you go near a palm tree and pick up something. Wiping away the sand you find out that it was... a blue apple? You decide to show it to your patron.
"Ah, it seems you hit the jackpot my friend! This is a Sacj-dil apple, a very rare item. It is said that it was enchanted by the Godess of Life herself to increase the resistance of whoever eats it. You could also sell it for a good price, too." he explains with a wide grin on his face.
Anyway, before deciding what to do with the apple, you two head up the steps of the pyramid. The inside turns out be even more grandious that the outside, the first room you enter having many golden rod-like monuments placed in a square shape. There are also two ways you can go: a large path leading north and a small hallway to the right.---

This time it's unable to dodge and you almost cleave it in half with your broadsword.

You proceed to loot their corpses, but you don't find anything of value. Probably because they're just lizards. Anyway, looking around, you see the path you were following earlier and an opening to the left in the trees surrounding you.---

Active Ability:
- Estuans mortem (Nayrous can focus his power, removing Spiritus sepulturam, to summon a ghastly suit of armor. This suit negates the defensive weakness' of his skeletal form. In addition this form provides +1 STR and +1 RES. In this form he can also convert INT points into STR points. Estuans mortem lasts 3 turns. When the buff expires, all converted STR goes back to INT. Casting this does not use up a major action. Has a 5 turn cooldown.) {Cooldown: 3 turns left} {XP:1/5}
Passive Ability:
- Spiritus sepulturam (Nayrous general form does not lend itself well to physical combat, however; this form with all of its seals and incantations lends itself well to magic in this form Nayrous suffers -1 to defense and STR but gains +2 to magic rolls.)
- Parry Null (Placeholder) {3/5}
- Bladed Null (Placeholder) {3/5}
Condition:
- Ghastly power (+1 STR, +1 RES, +2 blunt defense, converts INT to STR, Spiritus sepulturam nullified for the duration) {1 turn remaining}
"I'm not here to fight you, human. And that leadhead was no comrade of mine, he was a rogue." the lizardman replies before walking the rest of the way up to you. You can see that this one had purple runes drawn on his chest and had a sheath which kept a shortsword with a geode encrusted on the hilt. You remain vigilant, but he shows no sights of aggression. You ask him about the red fruits, showing him one.
"Oh, that's called Tk'iumr, which is Crimson Orange in your language. It tastes pretty good." he answers casually. They're probably some common food around here.
"Anyway, me and Sar'nir saw that you're pretty good with that sword and I decided to ask you a favor: help me raid the encampment of our rogue kin. There's a good reward waiting for you if you accept." he explains, eyeing the dead lizardman. "What do you say?"

"I'm ready." you say.
"Good, let us begin then." she replies, unsheathing two swords and taking a battle stance just like you.
You dash towards her, hoping to make her attack you. She takes your bait, swinging her swords towards you when you get close enough.
(Carola: 1 + 2 + 2 + 2 - 1 + 1 = 7 vs 7 = 1 + 2 + 4 Dodge Mystel)
You barely manage to move away from her attack. Nevertheless, you take the offensive and strike...
(Mystel: 2 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 5 vs 8 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 Parry Carola)
And again...
(Mystel: 1 + 2 + 2 - 1 = 4 vs 12 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 Parry Carola)
But Carola manages to parry both of your attacks with relative ease. Both of you prepare for another round of trading blows. ---

The gust of wind blows so hard that it throws the anaconda like a ragdoll, smashing it through a tree after which it's body was limp.
Victory! +6 exp
The wolf is also affected by the blast, but ends up only rolling over a few times. You watch the wounded animal struggle to get up for a few moments, then it looks at you with mixed fear and curiousity.
