((OOC: Feel free anyone to enter, just note THIS IS A THREAD FOR HUNTING A KUMO, BE PREPARED TO FIGHT IF YOU JOIN!
Checking on his weapons one more time to make sure he was all prepared Inimicus did a mental inventory in the silence of the forest. Two Steel Swords...check, two steel daggers...check...one silver dragon dagger check...one silver shield...check. Full Bronze Armor...check. The vampire smiled as he checked on his arsenal, satisfied it was all there he reached to his left side and drew his longsword, the rubies on the hilt catching the last dull glints of light that penetrated the gloomy of the Chandric Forest. Swishing his cape back of his waist he hefted the silver shield, a gift from Xanth, in his left hand and cracked his neck...he was ready for action.
Standing on the borders of the Chandric forest he had to smile at the events that brought him to this...not even a year earlier he never would have had the confidence to fight monsters...or even think they existed, now he was wandering in after one which would scare the living daylights out of most people...luckily Inimicus did not like daylights. Smiling he shook his head his shoulder length black and silver hair swishing as the head shook, thinking too much could and would get him killed. He was a vampire, he needed to focus, he was a hunter he needed to hunt. His senses were hightened, hearing, sight, and definatly smell...his ability to feel around him far more than a humans, he needed to focus on tracking his prey.
Inimicus was hunting a Kumo...a Giant Spider he had heard rumors existed here. Giant Spiders would give most people goosebumps, but Inimicus had already felt his life escape from his hands once he wouldnt really fear it so much anymore. Kaida had shown him that fear only prevented you from being who you were, fearing you you were would get you killed. Inimicus smiled, he had made sure to drink before coming...he was sated for at least a day and his strength at its height. He figured without knowing that the spider would be able to shoot webbing at him like its smaller counterparts and would have poision that paralyzed...which was why he hefted his shield and his sword the rising phoenix as opposed to both the rising and falling phoenixs. Inimicus honestly prefered fighting with two weapons as opposed to a shield...but this shield was Magical and besides that it made the most sense in this situation when he was fighting an enemy who had so many ranged advantages. Inimicus began walking forward concentration on the area around him, smelling in the trees...feeling for a heartbeat however small...listening for the soft crunch of any sort of material. As a vampire hunter he was far faster and stronger than most people...he would need all of that today. If he made one wrong move this spider would and could easily kill him and his, and his families life would be over.
Quickly he got into the part of the forest where almost no sun shone, this would need all his hunter senses to even be able to move appropriatly. His night vision was very good...but doubtlessly the Kumo's would be better he needed to take that into account. He was ready for wherever this thing came from
