Faust couldn't help but nearly burst into laughter after rounding the corner. The sight of the pirate was just-….. He could find no words to describe it. It was as if he were an actor out of a play, his garb and appearance so strikingly that of a storybook pirate that it was almost silly.
Earlier, he had readied himself for the impending battle, fully prepared to cut down any foe that stood in their way. He had never taken a life before, and truthfully he didn’t want to, but he had told himself that now was not the time to be hesitant about such things. However, he didn’t expect to see this.
((Action: Follow up Mercy’s attack and head up the stairs.))
If not for Mercy’s attack, he would have paused unnecessarily, but seeing her land a devastating kick to the back of the pirate’s head helped him rush into action. He dashed forward, in an effort to finish off the pirate before he recovered from the blow. Once again, thoughts of shedding blood burdened his mind, but only for a second. Raising his axe, Faust took a hard sideways swing at the pirate’s neck.
Faust blinked in confusion, a few seconds passing before he realized what happened. The blow delivered by Marie had apparently caused a concussion, leading the pirate to lose his balance and fall the moment before Faust was to deliver the killing blow. Looking down, the pirate lay groggily on the floor, having obvious trouble maintaining any sort of motor coordination or even the ability to focus his eyes. In the meantime, Faust found the blade of his axe buried in the wooden wall, it having broken upon impact and leaving only a blunt metal stub at the head of the haft.
“Well then…. This guy is probably not going anywhere.” Faust said with some uncertainty. Nodding at his partner, he headed towards the stairs and ascended to the next floor, still holding firmly to his ‘axe’. Upon reaching the top, he noted the significant difference in scenery. Unlike their floor, this one had taken much more damage from the attack, with debris scattered all over. More sounds of fighting could be heard along their path ahead.
((Event: One more enemy gets in their way before the top floor?))
((Event: Faust finds something worth looting.))
