On dirait qu'il n'y a pas d'aller de l'avant... Derrick a dit tranquillement, en regardant au coin de la rue.
Il n'y avait aucune garantie qu'ils seraient en sécurité au coin de la rue, mais c'était probablement l'endroit le plus sûr qu'ils pouvaient trouver en ce moment. Plus sûr que la pièce avec la créature endormie, certainement, et presque certainement plus sûr que d'être de l'autre côté du coin. Pourtant, les chasseurs ont fait face à une énigme. La source de la lumière et du vent était derrière les araignées, dont le nombre les gênerait plus que n'importe quel mur. Ils ne pouvaient pas vraiment sauter dessus, et combattre toute la marée serait certainement une erreur. Qu'est-ce qu'ils ont fait?
Derrick s'est enfui vers le reste de l'équipage et s'est amusé sur leurs options. Ils ne pouvaient plus aller de l'avant, alors devraient-ils y retourner? Un incendie pourrait aider à nettoyer la pièce, mais alors il serait probablement en spirale hors de contrôle. Il ne voulait pas vraiment brûler toute la bibliothèque. Il aurait aimé ne pas avoir jeté la lanterne, mais encore une fois, ça n'aurait probablement pas aidé.
"Qu'est-ce que vous en pensez?" Derrick a demandé. " Devrions-nous y retourner? Peut-être pourrions-nous trouver quelque chose pour faire face aux araignées."
Name: Derrick Greenguard
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Personality: The best statement to describe Derrick would probably be "lacking in direction". Derrick tends to be rather quiet and likes to think for himself rather than talk to others, although he's not exactly antisocial. He's more of a follower than a leader and is decisively indecisive when not with others. He likes to be left alone more often than not, although he wouldn't deny companionship.
Appearance: Short brown hair, dull brown eyes and square features.
Favoured weapon: Spears/polearms
Notable skills: Moderately skilled with spears and pole weapons. Good strength and stamina. Bad at panicking and is fairly observant. Good at defending. Does his job till it's finished.
Notable weaknesses: A bit too careful sometimes, doesn't often take initiative. Not good attacking targets outside his range. Fairly inexperienced.
Background: Derrick comes from a rural background of hard farming and was a rather unimaginative child, dreaming of a peaceful adulthood of having a farm of his own and providing for his family. But of course, to own property, you needed money. Derrick and a few of his friends hit upon the idea of taking down local pests together before handing them in for bounties. Derrick was pretty sure that a more stable job would've been a better foundation for a long future but he went with it because monsters would also damage his farming dreams in the long run. They formed a freelance party naught but slightly more than sensibly proportioned dreams. Fast track a few months and the party goes the way of a group of naive teenage rock band aspirees, they split up to try and find success in their own ways. Left with nothing much to do, Derrick gives monster hunting one last shot and accepts a bounty for a mysterious winged wolf, little knowing that it may turn out to be the worst decision of his life... Or the best one he's ever made. Who knows? Depends on how it goes, I suppose.
