SACRED STONES CHRONICLES
Chapter 1-a critical failure
The recovery of Princess Eirika's bracelet was going smoothly. All but two bandits were bested-Bazba, the leader of the group, and a single mercenary, a hired sword, no doubt. His skills with the sword were decent, but he had to be beaten if the group wanted to face Bazba.
Gilliam, the group's knight, volunteered to do battle against the mercenary. It was fast-able to get two hits on him from the battle window-but Gilliam was well defended, with each hit doing nothing.
The battle commenced. Gilliam struck first, doing very good damage against his foe. Such is the power of the weapons triangle. He was at the advantage. The mercenary struck once. Nothing. He struck again, this time throwing his sword into the air and crashing it down on his foe.
Nothing. No damage, just one enemy's shattered pride. The mercenary decided to change targets, this time, going for Ross, the group's trainee fighter. The mercenary attacked!
He missed. Ross spun his Hatchet before throwing it, and hit, doing triple damage. The mercenary was beaten, and Ross leveled up from the fight.
Both him and Gilliam just started at each other before Ross covered his smiling mouth, trying in vain to contain his laughter. Gilliam just had a smile spread across his usually stone face, and chuckled a couple times.
