El Diablo (1)
You waltzed up to the Skeleton Captain and you hit it with your +28% falchion. You hit it again and again; it only got one retaliatory hit in, which you easily blocked with your AC 3 buckler. You hit it again; it collapsed into a heap of bones and died the final death, dropping eight gold coins as it fell. You picked up the money, of course. You always do. A matter of habit. You didn't see the hesitancy. You didn't sense its fear. You ignored the scraps of skin and hair still attached to the skull. You missed the flecks of saliva that flew from its tattered tongue as its jaw fell off. You forgot that this was a person once, a man with dreams and itches and hungers and regrets. You forgot that it once had a life. You just wanted the experience points, damn you. |
