The First Pass [Mod]

[Holly Mason]

Today, she wasn't there to explore the place, she was sure she had done a pretty good job at doing that already.  Today, she was treating this place like she treated many of the places around the ruins: she was just doing a quick fly by to see if anything had changed or if there were any strong presences about.  So far she didn't see anything or feel anything, but her adventure had just begun.  Holly wasn't expecting anything, but occasionally her efforts rewarded her either with dangerous shadows or new areas, so it was always worth taking a little time to check things out.

Well, it wasn't anything special, but unfortunately it was something that she had to deal with.  Her numerous buffs activated bathing her body in many colors.  As always, she started the fight by weakening her enemies.  The first shadow responded by charging up for a powerful attack.  The second just threw a huge fireball at her face.  Those fireballs, seriously why did every shadow like throwing a fireball at her face?  It was nice that such attacks did nothing to her anymore.

Now it was time for her to attack.  Holly started with the beat.  She threw a few knives at it and they just ripped through the creature like butter.  It wasn't quite enough to finish it off, but it looked likely that the next attack would.  Unfortunately, that opened her up for its charged attack.  Fortunately for her, because of her hex the attack ended up flying right past her face making the poor shadow get its claws stuck in the cliff side.  The other shadow tried attacking with ice, which was equally as ineffective on her.  As expected, one more attack finished off the beast.  Now all she had to do was finish off the other who was either completely incapable of hurting her, or just too dumb to use other spells.

Well, it wasn't an exciting trip, but not all of her scans were.  Most weren't really.  It was those few times that really payed off that made the whole exercise worth it.  Even if this wasn't one of those times, she'd continue to check this place out in the future.

Holly finished off her scan just to confirm that there was indeed nothing new here.  There was no signs of powerful shadows or anything unusual.  Ah well, maybe her next pass would yield something more exciting.  With that, she headed up the back to head home.  There wasn't much reason to stick around here after all.
