Digging through dead things (mod)

[John Nicholson]

It was a night like any other. John stood at the cemetery gates in his combat-oriented outfit. He had heard rumors about hauntings in the catacombs, suspecting these happenings were caused by the shadows. Thus, he had come to check it out. He checked all his equipment once more, his shotgun, though quite old and worn, would probably still pack quite a punch. and this card he had found in his stuff all of a sudden was with him too. It's purpose had become clear after some experimenting, since then, John had been carrying the card with him everywhere he went.

He took a deep breath and stepped into the cemetery, he had never really liked it here, especially considering it wouldn't be that much longer until he would join the dead buried here. He shook off the thought, he was still quite healthy for his age. He immediately noticed a feeling similiar to what he felt in the outer circle. He warily walked up to the entrance to the catacombs and decended into the dark caves below. It was quite a creepy place, not in the least due to the bad lighthing. He had been wandering around for a while when he had the feeling something was following him. So he quickly turned around to face whatever might be following him after rounding the next corner.

Good thing John had decided to go with his gut as despite the shadow's large stature it moved deceptively silently. John's old training kicked in immediately, firing a shot at it. This proved to be an effective strategy as the creature reacted seemed to be heavily damaged by the shotgun shell to the torso. It wasn't down for the count yet however, and it charged right at John, winding up a heavy punch as he went. John ducked to the side, dodging the brunt of the attack's force. but even the glancing blow it managed to deal

threw him back a good distance. It charged right after him, John was pretty sure he wouldn't make it through another haymaker like that, so he fired at the shadow again. The second shot was a direct hit to the being's masked face, shattering the mask and bringing it hurtling down to the ground. It seemed like it had not survived the second shot. John crawled back up from the floor, looking as the creature's physical form melted away until nothing was left. Breathing heavily as the adrenaline rush of the battle settled down.

John dusted himself off, already, this first enocunter had tired him out. He decided to go back home for the day. Still, he had at least confirmed it was possible to kill these shadow creatures. Which was already quite a comforting discovery. Still, it seemed inadvisable to remain here for too long, for all he knew, what he just fought was little more than a scout. As such, he quickly made his way out of the catacombs and back into the city.
