Bab 73: Registration (2)

Speed was a function of strength and dexterity.

The latter more than the former, for draculkar.

Krow tumbled and leaped from glowing stair to glowing stair, avoiding spikes, pits, pendulum blades, chains, and arrows.

Why was this a registration test?!

If this was how they 'drew blood'....

Whoever posted that 'guide' to draculkar registration on the forums obviously needed to die a few times.

Even with his STR and DEX at 50, he was far from unscathed.

When he finally stumbled off the stairway, he had a dozen minor cuts across his skin, his Travelcoat was visibly mending the slash across the cloth of his belly, his boots were splashed with something viscous, and his hair was looking a little ragged.

He slumped on the floor, panting.

Now that he thought about it, the difficulty of the death-trapped stairway must adjust to the challenger's level...

Krow felt the ache all over his body.
