The two woman had entered the complex, a small basement with a few crates containing little. It was a simple place, a staging area for adventurers like Haruna and Lucille as they prepared to enter the catacombs to investigate this sense of evil and darkness. Haruna's face seemed to pale a little, as if something was bothering her as she placed a hand on the doorknob.<br/><br/><strong><em>"How many times have you done this?"</em></strong><br/><br/>Lucille's question made Haruna pause just before she opened the door, the shrine maiden turning to the paladiness with a smile. It was not an expression of fear nor uncertainty, but rather a smile which mothers tend to show to their children. The shorter woman seemed to take a while to think, before her golden eyes returned to Lucille.<br/><br/><strong>"Three times! Three times I've been here. First time to map this place with Edward, second time to investigate the catacombs and deploy the guild, and the third time, last week, to investigate the darkness. This is my fourth time, with Lucille!"</strong><br/><br/>With a nod at Lucille's sword, Haruna opened the door, allowing her golden hairband to illuminate the area. Lucille's hair really shone in the light, as Haruna led the way with her staff, the woman checking the place out as she stood ready. Taking a deep breath of stale air, Haruna pointed her staff towards the north, down a dark corridor of pillars and arches.<br/><br/>Unknown to perhaps both, eyes were already watching Lucille when she got off the ship at Raven port. Eyes which glowed red and reflected with pure black as they observed Paladiness and Shrine Maiden, two ripe targets for the picking. Mental messages were exchanged as they got into position, eyeing the two as they prepared to pounce.<br/><br/>The two walked down the path, staying silent except for the clinking of metal parts on Lucille's armor. As they reached a point, Haruna raised a hand, stopping Lucille as she crouched down, her eyes following a thin line, a trap.<br/><br/><strong>"Really now..."</strong>Haruna said as she stepped back with Lucille, using her staff to trace the line. A hard smack triggered the trap, to have a sling's bullet fly past the two from one end of the wall to the other. A smile on Haruna's face as she examined her handiwork, but that meant that only Lucille could react to the impending danger!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll a DC10 Listen Check to see if Lucille detects footsteps and the sound of a loading crossbow ahead of them. If successful, Lucille could impose herself between Haruna and the source of sound before a bolt clags against her shield.<br/><br/>If it fails, roll a DC 10 Reflex Save. If successful, Lucille could move fast enough to shield Haruna by pushing the woman aside.<br/></div></div>
