this really seems like more of a plumber's job really (mod)

[John Nicholson]

Jhn was back in the sewers, thankfully having acquired a set of nose plugs this time. He had recovered quite well from the previous battle down here. surprisingly so actually. Could it be a benificial side effect of the persona's power? Regardless, he didn't question it though. He wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth. He arrived at the spot he previously did battle with a shadow but was disheartened to discover the passage had collapsed completely in his absence. Not only did it block off a possible passage. it also was the last dry path to take.

He braced himself and jumped into the filthy liquid leading down another passage. This part of the sewers was even darker than the rest. Quickly turning too dark to see. Thus, john took out a flashlight and activated it. Then cringed as he realized this was the setup for every horror scenario in a secluded space ever. Sure enough, something was there to greet him.

Well, this thing didn't seem too bad. It was another more echanical looking shadow. John remembered from the last time that such shadows were quite resistant to physical attacks. Thus, he summoned Ippon-Datara to go with the more metaphysical angle of attack.

"Mamudo"

The attack crashed into the mechanical monstrosity. It seemed quite affected although not more than would be cnsidered normal damage. It retaliated by throwing a fireball at John. Now, John could have dodged the fireball by diving into the sewage, but he'd rather burn than be submerged into whatever was onto the floor here any more than he currently was. He took the fireball standing. "I ain't dying here. not like this." It seemed ridiculous really. He was figthing a motorized shadow cyborg in a tunnel standing to his knees in raw sewage. It seemed like something out of a drunk nightmare. In his frustration, he shot at his adversary and was surprised to see it actually seemed to do damage.

The shadow seemed startled by this revelation too, as it revved up and charged right at John. Probably with the intent of flattening him under its large wheels. there was nowhere to dodge to, so John simply fired blast after blast of gunfire at the approaching danger. when he fired the last shot in his magazine, the situation seemes hopeless. Then, the shadow's wheel axle suddendly collapsed. It came to a grinding halt before John. Its engine lying silent forever.

Success!

You defeated the enemy!
You also found: Amrita Soda

[John Nicholson]

Well, that was all the excitement John wanted to deal with for today. As the shadows's wreckage started dissapating he noticed soething shiny though. He grabbed it on instict but was sligthly dissapointed to find it to be a simple can of soda. Then he remembered having heard about this particular brand of soda having unexplained medicinal properties agains various debilitations. He pocketed the can, planning to test its effectiveness at a later time. Right now however, his only priority was to get the hell out of dodge The battle with the shadow had stirred up some of the fresher muck which made the smell of this place even worse. It was even getting trough the noseplugs now. It was funny though. a murderous cyborg couldn't make him retreat yet now he was running away from the mere smell of this place.
