Day 16 - mid day


Delcastle watched the archer closely as he made a familiar round now. One hill till there were no enemies then a run to the next then likely return to the first. Night monsters likely respawned faster so it needed to be quick and well planned. Whoever the archer was, he was skilled enough to pick off threats even at a distance. 
The prediction line came as no surprise when the bush behind him rustled for just a brief moment. "Long shot maybe?" He mused, familiar to a degree with how some archer classes operated. The arrow flew past his ear to shatter the target in one strike even at a distance. Luck or skill, maybe both, clearly displayed in the shot. Delcastles grin crept on his face as his eyebrow raised in respect. "Long shot." He confirmed to nobody in particular.

Even from a distance it was clear the archer was waiting for Delcastles display. Judging from his stance and the way he scanned the area it was a two-part contest. How quick Delcastle could move, and how clean his kills were on the way.
"game on, pretty boy." Delcastle grinned and rubbed both his hands together before holding his Lucerne in his right hand.
In his mind a countdown began.

3...
2..
1.

Delcastle took off in a sprint, long strides in perfect balance put him on a straight path through the nearby mobs. Now with a weapon like his, you would think he leveled up a lot of strength. More damage.
Delcastle had focused on speed. High mobility and fast attacks were far superior to a heavy stationary hitter. 
The first monster that crossed his path served as a stepping stone. A stonetusk boar stepped infront of him but Delcastle leapt, touching down on its back and springing off it. The contact aggroed the monster even as his kickoff stumbled it. On he ran, as he zig-zagged more monsters he gave each of then a slap somewhere on the face or body. With a grin he ran as nearly several monsters stampeded not far behind him. 
Pay close attention now. Delcastle thought as the Lucerne took on a deep blue color. As the monsters closed in on his back he struck. Sliding a short distance he turned and grasped the handle in both hands and swung. Cleave did a percentage of damage to every monster hit and sword skills did bonus damage. His first swing shattered the stonetusk boar in the lead to shards as the Lucerne kept sweeping, hitting the last few monsters with the hammer end of the polearm. Of the seven monsters, only one remained after his sweep attack. The single dog leaped forward and exploded on the speartip of Delcastles weapon. 
A few minutes and another batch of monsters later he was at the foot of the hill, Lucerne comfortably over his shoulder and hand on hip.

"So who talks first. You? Me?"
