<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/4TwfEDc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Alanna Rosewood (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=276903.msg13604090#msg13604090)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>The Neck of Uta<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Laura, Kana<br/><strong>HP:</strong>110 / 110<br/><strong>AC:</strong>34,<strong>TAC:</strong>18,<strong>FFAC:</strong>26,<strong>CMD:</strong>29<br/><strong>Passives:</strong>Fort +8, Ref +14, Will +8, Init +13, Perc +18, Current Strength: 5<br/><strong>Current Form:</strong>Human<br/><br/><hr/><br/>And just like that...the Roper fell, crumbling into dust as their furious assault managed to fell the creature before it managed to do any real damage to them as a party. Ropers were dangerous foes, to be certain, and had it been able to get the drop on them as it had evidently intended...well, that little combat of theirs could have ended much, much differently. She wondered just how many of the women being ravaged on the murals had been surprised by the Roper, and how many of them had known that it was in there beforehand. Either way...whilst she wasn't opposed to being ravaged by a beast like that, it most certainly wasn't going to be in the<em>first</em>room of a new dungeon! She had her Adventurers Pride to consider! She had a reputation and self-pride to maintain, after all, and falling to a Beast like that so easily? Pah! Pah she says! If the beasts wanted her hot, tight ass, they'd have to goddamn work for it! She might be tempting fate there, but if this Temple wanted to add her to its list of conquests, it was going to have to try a lot harder than a sneaky Roper. She was no easy slut (most of the time), after all!<br/><br/>Of course, that seemed to be the intention; as soon as they killed the Roper, the floor seemed to drop sharply, a descent that appeared to be by design; if it was a trap of some kind designed to kill or injure them, the floor would have dropped a lot further in a lot less time, or simply dropped away entirely. At that moment? It seemed more like it was taking them somewhere, descending further into what she could only assume were the depths of the Temple. After all...why have a Roper in an otherwise nondescript room without any point? Their research had said that the Temple was, in fact, much larger than a single chamber...so apparently, this led to the rest of it. She mused for a moment, taking a little bit to get her breath back as she cleaned her blade.<strong>"Perhaps the Roper was a test of some kind? By ridding the chamber of it, we've proven ourselves worthy of descending into the temple? Or perhaps it's a trap, and we're about to fight five of the things when we reach wherever it is we're going. Either or."</strong>She shrugged. Either they were dead...or they weren't. But honestly...looking at this temple? She had a feeling that defeat wouldn't mean death. It would mean something a...little different. Though whether death was preferable or not was a matter of perspective, really.
