Gundar Darkforge
Now that they had dispatched the priests in the first part of their mission, they had to continue on to the second part of the mission which was to protect the cultists who were suppose to undo the priest's work of consecrating the lands so less undead leak out of of their crypts and graves. Gundar didn't relax however as he decided to look over the bodies just in case they had some sort of weird magic that triggered after their death. It seems like they were in the clear so Gundar decided he would take a breather after releasing his magic. Looking over towards Keita, he'd give him a silent thumbs up before waiting a bit longer to recall the instructions of their client. Afterwards, he'd turn towards Keita and give him a little nod signaling he was ready for the next task ahead of them. With that, they would set of in the location of the cultists that were waiting for them.

Keita
The priests were all dead, and Keita had just released his magic circle and spell, causing the body of one of the priests that he had captured in the bubble to fall to the floor. The priests were simply one part of what they were hired to do, and soon they would be on their way to do something else entirely. The second half, so to speak, of their mission was to go into the catacombs underneath where they were right now, and meet up with a bunch of cultists. Essentially these people were part of why the undead of the underground were so rampant. Some strange magical ritual they were doing could cause the undead to become riled up, they would go out and kill people, and somehow the bodies of these people would end up back down in the catacombs to become more undead, and they were going to protect these people.

Gundar Darkforge
Walking towards the church's entrance of where they dispatched the priests, it was said the meeting site was inside underneath the church. According to the client's information, there should be a hidden trapdoor behind the podium underneath a large rug that leads to the catacombs. As he got to the door, he had opened it to reveal there were three more priest acolytes. It seems they had heard the commotion outside and were holed up in here as the last line of defense. Well, they weren't targets of the current job but if they intend to stand in their way, he wouldn't hesitate to put them down like he had recently. One of them had unsheathed a short sword to which Gundar just chuckled at . Cracking his knuckles it seems like they were choosing the hard way. He planned to knock them out but if he has to go the extra mile to make it permanent, he wouldn't hesitate.

Keita
Keita followed Gundar as he made his way into the church grounds proper, as apparently there was some sort of secret entrance that even the priests didn’t know about down into the catacombs. Keita had to admit that it was actually genius putting a secret entrance in the territory of the enemy, as they would never think to look in their own home for something like that. As they entered the church, Gundar stopped and got ready for something, and it was at this point that Keita looked in and saw one of the priests inside draw a sword and point it at them. Keita grinned, as he loved clashing with swords, although he wasn’t the most skilled at them, he had tons of practice and was slowly figuring out his own style with them. Using water, he condensed some of the ambient holy water in the church into what looked like a rapier made of flowing condensed water.

Gundar Darkforge
It seems Keita was also ready to brawl with these acolytes should they make an attempt to stop them from going where they need to be at the moment. he had conjured a kind of water rapier and so he assumed this means they were just gonna fight their way through which was perfectly fine with Gundar. Casting the spell he had used previously, a magic circle had appeared underneath him as he touched the ground to absorb the properties of the marble beneath them in order to coat his skin for protection. With him casting the spell, it was the signal for the other two priests to draw their staves and prepare to chant as magic circles of their own began to form and they both conjured a single ball of light each to throw at both Gundar and Keita as their attempts. This wouldn't be too hard to defend against, Gundar thought as he started his run towards the acolytes.

Keita
The edge of Keita’s rapier pointed at the priests as the two with the staves conjured their balls of light and fired them at them, one each. This was pretty simple to avoid, as projectiles were not very hard to dodge, especially ones that were so small. They were the size of a baseball, and it seemed that the priest that shot at Keita aimed at his chest, a pretty good try. Keita had seen too many people aim at peoples’ heads with small projectiles when the other party was aware, causing the attack to almost be a guaranteed miss. Keita simply turned his body to the side as he made his way towards the priest. It seemed that the one with the sword went after Gundar, simply because he didn’t seem to have a weapon, and so wanted to use the reach advantage. Keita made his way towards the priest that shot a sphere of light at him, noticing he was readying a second shot.

Gundar Darkforge
Gundar had started sprinting towards the priest acolytes, with his body covered with earthen magic in order to protect himself. The ball of light coming towards him was the size of a ball but it didn't matter to him since it was fairly weak that even his defensive spell could take with little issue. Allowing it to collide into his chest, it only served to hinder Gundar ever so slightly but not interrupt his running. Eventually, he had made it to the sword wielding acolyte and delivered a swift, jumping cut to his torso as he tried to swing his sword to cut him. It had little effect however with the earthen property coating his skin like armor so Gundar only felt a twinge of pain as it wasn't very deep. Kicking the sword wielding priest to the floor. Gundar had turned his sight to the priest that shot him with the ball of light.

Keita
Keita was heading towards the priest nice and steadily, avoiding a few light spheres on the way. His body was looking sideways towards the priest as he was advancing, making his body a much smaller target so that he could easily lean to one side and avoid the projectile. The priest was getting worried, and soon they were next to each other, enough so that Keita could start attacking with the rapier, and the priest got panicked and attacked him by swinging the staff towards the top of his head. This was something that one should never do, as the man raised both of his arms up into the air, Keita could easily simply lean forward and thrust, planting the rapier into the man’s chest into his heart. The man slumped over, and soon there was only one priest left, who was backing up slowly, but still chanting and forming the magic circles needed to fire the sphere. You would think that he would give up, but religious fanaticism was a hell of a drug.

Gundar Darkforge
Knocking out one of the priests was fairly easy as Gundar had delivered a swift kick to the chest after his running start. He had then turned his attention towards the other priest who had shot him with a ball of light to the chest. It was mildly irritating so he figured he'd just try and get him out of the way quickly. Running towards him, the priest had been gearing up to fire another ball of light but seeing a dashing Gundar moving towards him and witnessing what happened to his companion caused him to panic and try to escape rather than continue on with the fight. Gundar wasn't the forgiving kind so he picked up the podium that was nearby and threw it at the escaping priest. He had to admit if he just chased after him, he probably wouldn't be able to keep up so this was the next best alternative.

#10Keita

Keita
Keita had finished off his priest and looked over to Gundar chasing the other priest that had thrown a ball of light at him towards the back entrance of the church. Gundar seemed to think that it was futile to keep chasing, or perhaps it was just annoying, so he picked up the podium that was used for sermons and other religious services and chucked it at the man. The podium hit the priest in the back, toppling him over, and Keita knew that Gundar would go over there and finish the job, if that was what he was going to do. Keita ignored tham, as the man was down for the count, so there was no need for his assistance. Instead, Keita got to the rug and pulled it away from the area, revealing a large trapdoor with a fairly hidden latch for grabbing. The carpet was also large and thick, making it difficult to move for Keita.

Gundar Darkforge
As the podium hit the priest in the back, causing him to collapse, Gundar took that opportunity to run at him as he was trying to recover from the ground stomp the back of his head, knocking him out. He didn't feel like taking this person's life if he didn't have to but he had no qualms with it either unless it was necessary so he'd just leave him be if he was motionless. Afterwards, he'd turn around and look towards Keita to see if he was done with the other one, which to no surprise, he had been. he was already moving the rug towards the trapdoor that would lead into the crypt below the church and so, Gundar just began to head towards it and pry it open sp the two of them get begin their descent down. He had hoped he didn't have to run into any more priests down here or he might not hold back.

#12Keita 

What lies beneath [2] Empty Wed Apr 13, 2022 9:32 pm

Keita
Gundar thoroughly trounced the one priest that was trying to run away, but Keita noticed that he didn’t kill the man, and Keita was fine with it. He shrugged his shoulders as Gundar made his way over to the entrance to the basement, and so Keita waited until the stronger Gundar pried it open before looking down the stairs. There was definitely some movement down there, and it seemed that some creatures were shuffling around. Forever the pessimist, Keita thought that there were some creatures ready to ambush them, and so he signaled to Gundar to hold on by holding up his palm before heading down the stairs. This was when Gundar would notice that there was absolutely no sound coming from Keita’s body as he essentially glided down the stairs like a ghost. Soon, he reached a point where he could see down there, and he saw the cultists. They had been doing the ritual already but got interrupted by their sounds of fighting.

Gundar Darkforge
After prying the trapdoor open, Gundar had watched Keita give him the signal to wait a little bit and so he did just that. Afterwards, he watched the silent Keita descend through the trapdoor which made him blink a few times. He thought it would be better if he went down there but he trusted Keita if he wanted to go first. Waiting a little bit, Gundar wondered what was taking so long and decided he would also go down there to see what all the fuss was about. Arriving, it seems the cultists they were supposed to meet were disguised as priests and were already carrying out the ritual. Giving a slight shrug, he'd just wait for them to resume the ritual and finish so he could go and collect his payment form from that shady client. When they were done, he and Keita would safely escort them out of the church and collect their payment.

Keita
As Keita made his way down and noticed the cultists, he started to talk to them in a calm manner after retreating up the stairs a bit. “Hello, we’re the ones from the guild sent to protect you during the ritual.” Keita would say, seeing the cultists then put down their guard when they saw the tattoo. After that, Gundar had also walked down the stairs and they both sat there and observed the ritual. Keita always wondered how it was that these cultists always seemed to find multiple people all with darkness element magic. There were plenty of people in the world he supposed, and a lot of darkness users got chased out of polite society, so maybe they all just wandered around until they found each other or something, he wasn’t sure. After a little while it seemed that the cultists completed their ritual as some energies seeped into the catacombs below, causing the cultists to look happy and a bit excited, before they all left the area.
