    Sidney continues on through Tempestas on his way to the capital. The whole reason for the travel was a hunch that he hoped would be correct. He was happy to be in Tempestas now as it meant that he would be able to travel faster along the plains than he would have in the mountains of Humus. The whole reason for this trip was exciting to him and he hoped he succeeded in his goals, but at the same time he doubted he would have the opportunity.

    (Roll was a 5 which means fight. The roll lead to a 3 which lead to this)

    Suddenly an annoying howling can be heard behind Sidney. It is weird in that it sounds like it is saying Ao Ao Ao. If Sidney looks behind him he will see what looks like a slightly larger than normal sheep. The main difference from a normal sheep other than its size though are its blood red eyes and its almost vampiric teeth.

    Spoiler:

    Sidney could probably outrun it but these creatures called after the sounds they make, Ao Ao, do not give up pursuing prey until they either day or feed.

    Unlike the horse killer the Ao Ao's prey is not the horse, it is Sidney. It is odd to see one by itself as they normally hunt in packs because by themselves they are not all that strong.

    Sidney sees the Ao Ao and makes his horse go faster for a second before making it stop and quickly dismounting the horse. He wasn't quite sure if it was what he thought it was but if it was he was the one at risk not the horse. He had read about Ao Ao's and was worried that there would be more of them. He makes the horse go off a little ways away. Sidney then holds his hand out and fires an Electric ball at the Ao Ao. He then unsheathes his old forge sword and prepares for it to get even closer to him. (-5 Stamina, -10 Mana)

    The Ao Ao continues after Sidney as Sidney gets off from his horse. As Sidney launches his attack the Ao Ao nimbly leaps to the right side in order to almost effortlessly dodge the electric ball that Sidney had fired at it. As it approaches Sidney it cries out again and opens its mouth baring its fangs. It then lunges at him attempting to bite him near his upper leg. Looking at the fangs that it has it will likely do quite a bit of damage if it can strike.

    As the Ao Ao lunges at him Sidney uses a sidestep dodge to avoid the attack and counters with a slash at its side with his old forge sword. Suddenly Sidney hears a wild neigh and has to back up as his horse ran up from the other side of the Ao Ao and brought its front feet up. It attempts to stomp on the Ao Ao. This had surprised Sidney as he had never thought of his horse as something that would fight along side him. It wasn't anything he wanted to become a habit but it was nice to know it would.

    As the Ao Ao had lunged forward it was exposed to Sidney's attack and took the blade attack and then it took the horses stomp attack which hit critically due to its hooves and the Ao Ao not being armored. The Ao Ao stays on the ground after having been stomped to death by the horse. Had their have been more than one Ao Ao there would have been trouble, but Sidney had lucked out apparently.

    Sidney looks at the dead Ao Ao. It surprised him how vicious the horse had been. He would have to work on a command or something to get it to hold back. In this case it was good that it had attacked but if it did that in other circumstances it could easily have been killed or brutally injured. Sidney then sets his mind to seeing if there was anything worth looting off from the Ao Ao. He walks up to it and start scouring it over.

    (The first roll means Ao Ao Wool. The second means 1 pound of it. It can be sold in a leatherworking shop or used to make something. If sold it is worth 250 gold per pound as there is much demand for it in Lymphae.)

    Sidney collects the wool and then mounts the horse. He is happy to get going again as he had figured he must be close to the Capital. After a short time riding he sees what he assumes must be Mistcliff. He makes the horse pick up pace a little in hopes of getting to the city before he gets attacked by something else. He remembered that the last time he had been this close to his destination he was attacked by a male horse killer.

    (Yes I know, the NPC is auto-hitting you, deal with it. After all you lucked out massively in the post here. Roll was a 2 which is good event which lead to a 6 on a weighted roll set up to make 6s extremely rare. The 6 lead to the following.)

    Suddenly there is a flash of lightning which is not that uncommon in Tempestas. What WAS uncommon though was that the lightning bolt that caused the flash comes down and strikes the horse that Sidney is on. Just the concussive force from the bolt hitting the horse is enough to knock Sidney off from the horse. Luckily Sidney is well armored so he won't be hurt as badly from the lightning having been so close to him.

    As the lightning bolt hits Sidney's horse he is thrown off from it. He lands on the ground hard and watches as his horse dies.... again. Things were not going his way when it came to travel and that was an expensive horse that he just lost. Sidney stands up and dusts himself off. He checks his horse and it is indeed dead. It would appear as though he would have to go the rest of the way on foot.

    As Sidney was looking around the horse a sword handle with an off little hook where the blade should be could be seen.

    Sidney sees the sword handle and looks it over. He would normally find it interesting but right now he was not amused about how things were going. He picks it up and then starts walking towards the visible city in front of him, Mistcliff. As he walks he is grumbling incoherently about what had happened. He adjusts the bottoms backpack so that it is more comfortable and then continues on. As he walks he grips the handle hard almost as a stress reliever.

    As the handle gets gripped harder a three 30" blade of what would appear to be electricity comes out of the end with the point.  It crackles like electricity but for some reason it seems bound to the shape of the blade.  Apparently tightening your grip on it cause it to activate.

    (Sidney takes 50 damage from lightning, 10 from fall, -20 stamina for activating blade just so you know. Sidney has now acquired the Plasite Cutter)

    (This will be the last post before I go into Mistcliff but if there is an event I will stay to deal with it.)

    Sidney jumps a little when the blade emerges. He lessens his grip afterwards and the blade goes away. As he heads towards Mistcliff he keeps looking at the handle. He must not show it off too much as he was sure it would get him unwanted attention. Speaking of that, he wondered how Tokara was doing with his Sword. He didn't know if Tokara would think to cover it up or not. He hoped he would as Tokara drew enough attention from his size alone.
