Cliffs are More Exciting [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

Now that the safe path was thoroughly explored, it was time to see if she could get anywhere by climbing around the cliffs.  It was dangerous, but Holly thrived on danger.  After all, if you weren't living on the edge you're taking up too much space.  She came across a few interesting caves, but ultimately there was nothing in them.  Exploring these places could be so frustrating.  Normally she'd be happy to take her frustration out on shadows, but after the recent full moon she hasn't wanted to fight them at all.  There was another cave further down at least, maybe there'd be something interesting there.

Turned out there was just some dumb shadow in the cave.  Didn't that figure?  The cave went a little deeper though, so it wasn't hopeless yet.  Holly just needed to beat through this guy first.  Her auto-buffs activated and she weakened the enemy as usual.  The shadow started charging at her as she did so.  She was able to move fast enough to get out of the way, and the shadow flew past her for some distance before coming to a stop and turning back in her direction.  This gave her an idea.

Rather than attacking it directly as she normally would, she took a few steps closer to it and cast Sukukaja on herself.  The knight charged again, and once again it missed and flew past her.  She continued moving towards the edge of the cave and cast Sukukaja on herself once more to make it likely she'd be able to move out of the way in time.  Now she was almost right at the edge of the cliff the cave was on.  Even though the cave was lower on the cliff compared to some of her prior adventures, it was still high enough that she couldn't see the ground.  As expected, the knight charged again and Holly was able to move out of the way before it hit her, causing the shadow to fly off the edge never to be seen again.

Holly went deeper into the cave praying for there to be something interesting.  It curved and branched and was actually pretty deep!  Unfortunately, it was just a cave.  The most interesting thing in it was just the various natural cave formations that she had little appreciation for.  With a frown, she folded her arms and made her way out of the cave and back to the cliffs.  Precariously climbing the cliffs with no climbing gear was at least exciting, so the trip wasn't a total waste.  Still, it seemed like the more she explored the more it felt like there really were no clues to what was going on outside.
