Terraria: The Quest

by LordFics

The players come and go but the guide stays. When the guide waits nearly a week for the next one he looses hope. Then out of nowhere a new player comes. Now the guide becomes determined to make sure this player survives (player and guide should get equal attention)

6. Chapter 6

That night all the npcs were nervous. This player, who they had thought stood no chance whatsoever had randomly come back with piles and piles of metals. And now he would face face his first real challenge.

He had only just summoned the thing and he all ready regretted it. He couldn't get anywhere near it. He didn't have nearly enough arrows to kill it. He swerved out of the way as it dashed towards him, through the air. It had lost almost a quarter of its health. This would be a long night...

The Merchant and the Nurse had placed a bet. If the player survived, the Merchant would owe the Nurse 10 copper coins. If he died, vice versa. The guide honestly wasn't sure.

It had lost about a third of its health now. But the player only had 1 heart left. And he still had about 10 seconds till he could drink his next healing potion. The eye kept on dashing at him. He drank a swiftness potion. 7 seconds. The eye was down to half health. And then the player saw its truly hideous transformation into the mouth. 4 seconds. He was running out of arrows. 3 seconds. He was just missing the eye. 2 seconds. He ran out of arrows. 1 second. He drew out his sword.

The guide was starting to get worried. He'd heard the roar, signalling the player had got it onto second form but it had taken longer than it did for most players. Would he survive. In the end he would die. The player couldn't survive like this. Right?

It had less than a quarter health left. The player was beginning to fell more confident. That was a mistake. He forgot to dodge. Now he couldn't loose any more health. And he wasn't drinking any healing potions any time soon. But only a few more hits on the mouth and it would all be over. He ran at the beast, jumping over it and slashing it with his sword as it dashed towards where he was just standing. He repeated this movement a few times. But then his swiftness potion wore out. But one good hit might finish the thing of. But the same could be said about him. The battle would have 1 more move. And after that one move, someone would die.
