filthy little critters part2
The final mob was around the third bend of the maze from our last position. I saw where the traps were marked by Phil. I attempted to sneak around the corner to the mob, but I don't have a sneak skill. I moved slowly with caution. I could see the furrett of this group dancing around and darting from left to right moving swiftly. It even scurried up one of the trash heaps. I was slowly making myself closer. My loaded sling ready to start spinning. That is when the furrett started chirping. I spun the sling around and released. The loaded iron nut went flying right past the furrett clinking off the trash mound behind it. The furrett went charging after the sound made by my missed shot. I just needed to pull one away from the others.” That furrett was my best chance and my poor skill level in my weapon type. Why didn't I raise a weapon skill when I was younger, at least then I might be able to do something as simple as hitting a target but no I was confident when I took the summoner class my monsters would handle the fighting.” I thought grumbling to myself. I began moving forward slowly step by step. Hoping to go closer to one of the others in the mob or the furrett, to lure it away. It wasn't the fact that I almost completely circled a trash mound without seeing a single monster from the dungeon mob that stopped me. It was sharp stabbing pain in my back, and drop of my health to from 100 to 70, and the continued dropping of my health with two symbols one for bleeding and one for poison, as my health ticked away by 6 more points. 64 hp remaining, I look around and there the furrett was holding a real dagger. The furrett wrapped its self in it clock and vanished from my vision. My health dropped by another 6 point. 58 health remaining. I grabbed a fist full of red weed and began chewing. My health shot up by 15. I activated my my monster sight the purple hue covered everything
my health dropping by 6 again. The pain ruining my concentration. I scrambled back to the trap where I was supposed to lure the the monster to begin with. I grab one of my health potions and gulps it down as fast as I could. I could feel the wound closing in my back, but the poison was slowing it down. My health hovering around just 51 points. It was then the conrack of the monster mob made it self known thorn covered vines sprouted out under me entangling my feet. It was then a thought occurred to me just like how my sunflowerfolk is rooted I still had movement of my arms and hips so I thought I would imitate how it fights. Just as I had that thought I felt a pulling sensation on my manna. My monster sense vanished. More mana was pulled from me and feeling of the sunflowerfolk I had set on the trash mound vanished. I knew right when it happened and cast the prompt away before it even appeared. I resolved my mind. the poison ticking away at my health. My feet entangled to the ground with thorn covered vines. My new sunflowerfolk dead. I reached around to my back getting the blood from my previous bleeding status. My hand glowing purple mixed with my blood changing the color from to light devouring black as I drew my circle I dont know why I did it but I carved my circle in to my own flesh. My hand as if being guided by a someone or something else and the mark wasn't my usual mark my life fading 31 health reaming.

“Why did I let the asshole tell them my name was Phil. It just such a stupid name anyone with half a brain would realize its fake, I think the Ozwald kid is sharp and knows we are using fake names. I bet he has a magic item that prevents influence to some degree. If we didn't have to let these two level up we could be back in the bar by now. I mean honestly if we didn't need the summoner to pull off this smuggling attempt I would have left back in the entrance. He isn't even strong enough to control a first floor wolf at best that wolf is a lvl 15. I could kill it with one halfhearted throw of a dagger.” Phil thought. “Shit the plant thing vanished.” Phil shouted to Greg and Ozwald. “you two stay hear im going to check on the kid, and see how he managed to fuck up my easy plan that cant be fucked up!”
Phil activating his shadow step bouncing from shadow to shadow the trash mounds made it easy. Popping up from the shadow of the little bear thing. Phil stabbed downward severing major arteries and shadow magic devouring the little creature's life in and instant. The corps dropping lifeless. Activating shadow step again. This time Phil popped up snapping the neck of a little furry tube critter with a cloak. That is when he saw it. A cloud of deep black, stretching out and lashing out in multiple directions. It grabbed one of the chubby stripped critters.”what the hell is that thing doing?” Phil thought stunned by what he was witnessing. The little striped critter was shrinking getting thinner by the second. When it finally stopped the void thing dispersed like smoke in the wind. “It was the fucking kid!” Phil watched as the kid drop to the ground. I hope that kids alive or this mission is fucked. Phil activated inspect.
Human: Noah (unconscious)
STR:18
DEX:13
INT:25 (40/275)
WIL:17 (6hp regen per minute)
CON:12 (20/120)
CLASS: summoner(lvl16)
magic type: runic (lvl 10)
skills: enchanting(lvl 8) alchemy (lvl 14) herbalist (lvl 14) missile (lvl 4) blood amplification (lvl 1)
Phil was confused by his inspect skill nothing about the kid really seemed that odd. He had even seen blood amplification before it normally grants a boost to magic or skill increasing effects or dealing damage. Consuming health alongside mana, and it looks like that's exactly what happened with the skill at level 1, but how did it cause that void eating black to do what it did.
