Lute 1

[20:09] {NARRATION} Unfortunately, it appears Kofe chose a poor time to travel towards the bridge- and even poorer a time to seemingly investigate the spectral figure.

At first, it hadn't noticed him- yet as it began to draw off towards Osrona, his movement toward it drew its attention, and it spun with a snarl.

Similarly- Grey happened upon them at nearly the same time.

The blackened greatblade is pulled from the wraith's back, and it levels it first at Kofe, then at Grey- as if challenging them to come forth.
[20:09] The impostor would soon be face to face with his real, true counterpart.

"Oooh this was what Uri was talking about..."


A nervous laugh would be followed by a dash towards Kofe...Grey just wanted to go mining but /this/ would definitely make for an experience...

[20:14] Perhaps the dice of fate wanted Kofe to battle a lot in the recent days. Perhaps this was merely retribution for years of peace. No matter what it was, that day begun with a gigantic rat and would likely close up with what was a... ghostly apparition. Seemingly beckoning forth, challenging the wounded bard. Not the best time for a battle, but...

"Ah... I think I'll be able to speak of that day as a crazy one later."

He drew in a breath, and advanced forth. Backing off, after all, was not the Rhoynish way.

"I'm Kofe, spirit. And I hope my ancestors are watching me."

[20:31] {Lost Dangerous RPB against Wraith of Barsburg}
[20:31] ** Wraith of Barsburg has inflicted an injury upon Kofe. ("Temporary Injury", "Temporary Injury", "Temporary", "Duration: Medium (4 days)") **
[20:43] {NARRATION} It is quite unfortunate that the pair had not purposefully been hunting the wraith- had they been, or even stumbled upon it with a third- it is likely they would have triumphed.

Yet they had not.

Kofe's lute is smashed into pieces, saving him from a blow that would have taken his life- yet the force of such sending him flying backwards onto the ground.

Grey suffer a far more dire fate- he managed to sidestep one of the wraith's more brutal swipes...only just. The sharp metal slashed down through his arm, ruining that sleeve and, more importantly, effectively flaying the side of his arm. Its foot finds his sternum moments later, sending him tumbling over on top of Kofe.

The wraith laughs- silently- then places its blade upon its back, departing back into the woods. It seems those outside the city are boring. Perhaps it ought travel deeper...
[20:49] Grey would be thrust towards Kofe, his mask would fall to the ground, off of his face, and as he'd go to grab it...he'd start...laughing?

His blood would spill out from his would, and he'd have no idea what the fuck to do.

"hahahahHAHA..."


His mind was playing tricks on him...he couldn't /still/ be alive after that...

"K-Kofe you alright man?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:49] A battle he wasn't prepared for. That's what Kofe had stumbled upon while walking around. After all he was bound to run into something bad out there in the wild, he merely hadn't expected it to be a Wraith of all things.

Hardships were had, but the young bard seemed to prevail, to go on for longer and longer before it all came down to him and the spectral beast of a being. String were strummed and songs were sung, yet the beast was not impressed. With a powerful slash of its weapon it nearly claimed Kofe's very life, leaving his eyes to squint and his hands to refexively go up.

Crack!

The precious lute he'd been carrying for so long was completely destroyed. The force of the blow alone sent him flying towards the ground, landing on the cobblestone as he realized what had happened.

How was he supposed to perform? What would he do?

".. Fuck." Is all he muttered while staring at the skies for the second time on that day.
