Entry 1

Today I came across a very strange fellow. There I was, gazing upon the sun, and some man clad in leather approached. He's undead, much like me. He carried a bow, as well as a quiver full of arrows. I suppose he is a hunter of some sort. I explained to him who I was, and he didnt seem too bothered by it, for some reason. I suppose he hails from a land where unorthodox religions are the norm. Anyhow, after I had explained who I was, I gave him a white sign soapstone and told him how to summon me. He seemed grateful, if nothing else.

Well, it seems that the hunter fellow is a decent fighter. I was standing at the usual spot when i felt myself being summoned. Imagine that! It seems that the hunter took my advice to heart. When I arrived, I saw we were in that old church in the Parish, on top of the rafters. As I emerged from the summoning ritual, The hunter stepped back. When I finished, he motioned me forward, towards a fog gate. Now, Im no stranger to these. Usually, whatever's on the other side is something dangerous, which explains the need for backup. I nodded, and we went through the gate.

...Nothing happened.

The archer shrugged, and made towards his goal. Suddenly, I saw a flash of movement from above!

I cried out a warning, and the archer leapt back. Not a moment later, a halberd buried itself in the shingles where he just was.

I prepared a spear of lightning, A gift from the God Of Sunlight, and made to throw it. My aim was true-the spear it the gargoyle just above the stomach.

With a roar of anger, it rushed at me. I quickly sidestepped out of the way, just in time, for the halberd came crashing down yet again.

As I turned, I saw my hunter companion draw an arrow, nock it, and fire, all in less than a second. Such speed...Now I understand how this man managed to survive that Bull demon blocking his way. The arrow embedded itself in the beast's stone chest...somehow, and it turned it's attention on the archer. I wouldnt have any of that.

I ran towards the beast, and slashed at it while it's back was turned. I slashed and stabbed, but the beast was not to be deterred.

It flew into the air, and came crashing down with a mighty swing of it's halberd. The hunter managed to roll out of the way, but he didnt see the long, axe-like tail swinging his way.

The tail caught him in the side, and the force of the blow nearly threw him off of the church. I ran forward to distract the beast before it could finish the job, and managed to catch up to it.

I brought my sword down while it's back was turned, but the beast turned, and it was only a glancing blow. Nonetheless, I pressed the attack, stabbing wherever I could find an opening. Between me and my companion's arrows, we nearly had it beaten.

Right then, however, I saw movement out of the corner of my eye, rushing at me. I rolled out of the way, and when I got up, I saw another gargoyle, this one without a tail. This one decided to go for the hunter-a strange move, seeing as it was too far away to bring it's axe to bear. Then it opened it's mouth, and I realized what it had in store.

I ran towards the hunter, shouting words of warning. The beast roared, and from its maw came a stream of flame, right towards the hapless archer.

I got there first, and not a second to soon. I shoved the hunter behind me, and brought up my shield. As the waves of fire washed over the two of us, I held fast, trying to cover as much of the hunter's body with my own. My shield took the brunt of the flames, and after it was over I quickly helped my companion up.

As he took my hand I saw the gargoyle preparing to breathe fire again. I rushed him before he had a chance to, narrowly avoiding a sideswipe from the first gargoyle, who had recovered more quickly than I'd thought.

Before he could try another, an arrow flew into his neck! With a roar, it took it's eyes off of me and set them on the hunter. All this happened in the blink of an eye, and I continued my charge.

As soon as I closed the distance, I lunged forward, my sword thrusting for the beast's heart. Just as I was about to strike it down, however, the beast dodged out of the way!

This one was faster than the first. Undaunted, I circled around the beast, stabbing and slicing the whole way. Without a tail, It's back was vulnerable, a fact that I took full advantage of. With the beast's natural agility, I could only get in one or two hits at a time before I had to break off, but I was winning, it seemed. This one was faster than the first, but it still wasn't as fast as I was, not nearly.

Another weakness I gladly exploited. I had to be careful, however. Slow or not, one hit from that halberd would certainly put me out of the battle, if not kill me outright.

So I dodged and weaved, stabbing wherever an opening presented itself, and before long, I noticed that the beast was getting slower, it's weapon not reaching as high as it once did, nor coming down with as much force. It was getting weaker. The beast seemed to realize this as well, and tried for a third time to immolate me. An act of desperation, to be sure, but still a threat.

Seeing my opening, I changed to a two-handed grip on my sword, and buried it into the beast's throat, as far as it would go. The beast fell to the ground still twitching, and as I breathed a sigh of relief, I turned towards the first gargoyle, ready to finish it off. One look and I realized that this was unnecessary; the hunter had finished the job, and sat on the beasts stomach, trying to salvage some arrows from it's body. My job done, I walked towards him, and presented him a shining medallion. He took it, and as I faded away, I extended my arms in a V shape, the signature salute of the Warriors Of Sunlight.

I hope we meet again. A man needs a friend in this world.
