Chapter 3
They walked down further the cold stone stairs of the catacombs. Almost no end to them. Pitch black looking up the stairs or looking down the stairs. Decent idea would been to at least bring a torch.
"How much longer do you think?." asked Richard.
Maran picked up a piece of loose stone off the stairs and threw into the pitch black darkness.
Nothing. Not even a faint thunk thunk.
"Id have to say a long ways." replied Maran.
So they walked and walked at least down another 300 steps.
Footsteps in the distance were heard.
"Bad news." said Maran "Recent noble death, and were directly in there path."
They were standing in a narrow hallway and guards were about to turn the corner to go back up the stairs. Not a good position.
"OK I got a plan, we go up the stairs, I would say one fourth of it to get the height advantage, my arrows will hit more often. You two will stand in front of me and guard." said Maran.
And so they followed the plan, but the guards never came. They stood there for 10 minutes.
"OK false alarm I guess." said Don unsure.
"Maybe they heard us and know our plan." awnsered Richard.
"If we go around the corner to see they have the advantage here." said Maran.
They decided to attack, they walked back down the musty hallway, and turned the corner. Just then continuous explosions could be heard. What madness?
They moved closer and heard yelling and crying...
They walked down the hallway to they entered a big and dark room, but with lights coming from boxes.
"OMG dude fire the gun or give me it, your a sniper" said one guard intently staring at his screen.
"DUDE I'm trying to get a decent shot at the noobs head." said the second guard.
The third guard was crying, his screen was full or red and fire. Is this the end of life? What is this monstrosity!!!
"Omgs, I found the noob Ifisa with his AK, lets move in on em." said the fourth.
"Dude, unequip the pistol than, were hunting after a assault unit not a sniper." said the first guard.
"Ummm, where here for some lost ancient knowledge, give it to us or we will shoot." said Maran trying to cover his fear.
"Dude, we stopped using scrolls years ago." said the third.
A loud sound came from a box with a trapezoid shape, paper came out.
"Have a nice day, don't tell the guards up there, we don't feel like quitting in the middle of a war to kill you, have a nice day." said the first.
They all walked back up the stairs, all 4 were crying again...
"Ok that was an odd moment." said Don.
"Um, ya" said Richard.
"Guess we go to the woods again." awnsered Maran.
All three hiked the way back up to forest for the knowledge of getting off the foul island. Hopefully, for good and better....
