[ cloud's raising his dumb sword and looking in that direction too. he sees... jack shit. it's dark. ]
Let's go the opposite for now, but this forest's crawling with them. We won't get away without a fight unless we're lucky.
[ he assumes. but for now he will protect sebastian because this is ? a thing he does now? and continue to walk in the dark looking for any kind of sign of time travel. neither of them own a flashlight. they are idiots. ]
[It was not literally dark but now that you've both made it so, you may search blind.
Which is very unfortunate, because they'll feel the rush of movement as three fiends—monsterish beings of various appearances—lunge at them. One of them goes for Sebastian, aiming to tackle him to the ground, while another swipes its claw at Cloud and the third one, for now, stays behind.]
[ i'm so proud of sebastian. anyway i'm ignoring the dice until it matters, because that's funnier, so cloud blocks the attack and swipes a bit to send it back! wow!
then he lets sebastian touch the ground to find something interesting and barks: ]
Move, let's go before more show up and we're surrounded!
[ what if they don't fight the monsters because he hates escort missions and he wants to just play it like a horror game, where you run until you find what you need. what if ]
[While Sebastian eats dirt, he may see... old footprints? Don't ask me what the difference between an old footprint and a new footprint.
But Cloud might have the right idea, as the sounds of growling increase, and not just from the fiends by them. Speaking of which, the one that tried to attack Sebastian attempts to pounce on him again, while the other two lunge for Cloud—one trying to knock his sword away, while the other tries to gnaw on his ankle.]
[ and this time i got a 20 because i guess i'm using up all my luck on dumb shit now so that i'll critfail at the last second again. SO. he will dodge this one too!! and maybe like, try to kick at the one going for cloud's ankle?? ]
[ oof ouch owie his ankles. he's busy dealing with one trying to knock his sword (NO that's HIS no TOUCHY), so he can't defend from the ankle biter unless sebastian successfully kicks it away. ]
Footprints to where?
[ he'll glance to see if he can tell, because wherever those lead! is where they are going to run to because that is a lot of growling ]
[Well, I rolled a 1, so wow. Sebastian, in all his twink glory? His kick is SO effective, the fiend lets go of Cloud's ankle and just curls up uselessly, as lets out a mournful howl.
On the other hand, this seems to aggravate the other fiends more? The one still trying really goddamn hard to kill Sebastian swipes a claw at him, while the other is still going for Cloud's sword. More fiends show up, though thankfully, not from the direction that the footprints are leading to.
Two of them speak. Their voices are garbled and they still look like monsters, even if somewhat humanoid, but they sound... kind of like Sebastian's dad and Aerith respectively?]
also sebastian's dad already sounds like a garbled chainsmoker so this is probably pretty authentic. ]
W-we're not running from you, we're running to where we have to go to save this world!!
[ another 14 so i guess he is still managing to escape this thing and its wild grudge against him. he'll try to get to his feet and start off in the direction the footprints lead if he can!! ]
[ he'd turned to look when he heard aerith's voice, but then when he speaks cloud looks at sebastian in shock, because: ]
You heard it too?
[ YOU EVER HAVE HALLUCINATIONS SO OFTEN YOU ARE SHOCKED WHEN THIS ISN'T ONE? anyway, he nearly loses his grip on his sword because of that, but he also has legs, so he gives a tiny baby kick of 7 to the one trying to get at his sword and go to follow if he can. ]
[Cloud gives a tiny baby kick of 7. I rolled an 8 so this is not as ineffective as it could be. Cloud kicks it away with some effort, but in the process, two fiends make it past him.
Anyway, run, Sebastian, run! Don't mind the fiends that made it past Cloud and are absolutely chasing after Sebastian now. On the bright side, light is starting to fill the area so they're not BLIND anymore and can follow the footsteps, although it's not exactly comforting light! It's making everything bright red!
The rest of the fiends chase after Cloud, who's probably chasing after the fiends chasing after Sebastian. This is going great.
Sebastian at the front, however, will want to be careful. Eventually, he'll hit the edge of a cliff.]
[ he starts to answer cloud, but shit's happening here, so he just leaves that there and starts running after the footprints!
and lmao MY LUCK ALREADY RAN OUT I GUESS so with this beautiful 1 i rolled he's probably getting tackled by a fiend right at the edge of the cliff. cool!!! ]
[ benny hill plays in the background as cloud runs after the fiends running after sebastian, and then sebastian eats shit down the cliff probably and cloud is going to try to catch him before he falls! with an 11! so maybe they will both tumble off the cliff and die with fiends tumbling with them. that'd be fun. ]
[Not that it matters much. Sebastian gets tackled off the cliff with the fiend! Cloud tries to grab him and falls with him instead!
The good news is that the footprints did end here, so.
Down they goooooo... into the mist below. Whatever lies at the bottom, neither of them can see. They simply fall deeper and deeper, before their consciousness leaves them entirely.
And then they splat against the ground below and die. No, that doesn't happen, although I'm sure some of you sure wish it did. But...]
