The Player's System

White Altar 2

Fourth quest

The form might have resembled with the scarecrow if there was stuffed skull but it was not. Only wooden sticks stood as if ready to see who was creating trouble.

"The developers did not make me disappoint." Sashi commented seeing the wooden stature searching the culprit without visible eye socket.

As soon as she spoke the wooden form turned toward her direction. Jake noticed and spoke, "Perhaps it could only hear, see." He spoke little loud and the stature turned toward him.

"How it is going to battle with mere voice detection?" Sashi whispered after knowing that this scarecrow could hear them.

"I am not sure. You can attack with the arrow and test." Jake also whispered. Testing could explain what they could expect from the scarecrow.

Sashi nodded and attacked with the arrow. The arrow was about to pierce one of the wooden stick when the wooden stature moved a stick that was supposed to be its hand. The arrow fell away and the wooden enemy started running toward Sashi.

It was running at the same direction. Perhaps arrow let it learn the direction of attack and it eventually let it follow in hurry. "Run at your left." Jake immediately spoke loud while gestured the opposite direction.

This idea suddenly stuck his brain to confuse the wooden skeleton. Sashi was running because the skeleton was nearing her exact location. However her footsteps were also creating sound. This let the skeleton follow her despite someone trying to confuse.

Sashi was shocked because the skeleton was still on her way. "Stop moving?" Jake shouted. The skeleton was close to her and Sashi has not short range weapon.

She followed and stopped. The wooden skeleton might have started randomly smashing stick in the surrounding however Jake took his attention by firing the bullet.

It was enough to attract the attention. Jake felt his concepts were going to crumble down because the wooden skeleton shook away the bullet similarly it throw away the arrow before it could hit.

It was quite unrealistic well they were in the game so things could be mix of realistic and creativity. Now the skeleton ran toward Jake. Sashi got worried because Jake could not match the pace with the skeleton.

She was experienced with the controls still it was troublesome for her to keep the proper distance.

"You damn wooden skeleton I am here." She shot an arrow to attract the attention. The wooden skeleton stopped the arrow and turned direction.

Now this started repeating. It was strange that their weapons were unable to hit. The wooden skeleton was too sharp to stop the attack in the middle.

Things were similar with the other team members. They were walking in pairs to search clue. The wooden skeleton came in the form.

Junan was done up with trying various tricks to defeat the skeleton. He noticed the movements and understood the flaw. The skeleton was made exceptionally outstanding enemy however the one and only one old stick was the root of all evil.

Junan noticed that the skeleton did not want to let the attack damage old stick. It was polished with greasy light brown color. Junan called Albert in the middle of mess.

Everywhere in the town the wooden skeletons took over the scene of battle. The third team and the two team members of first team were in the same mess.

The silent town turned in to hunting town of wooden skeletons. Albert reached near team head. It was time to tackle the anarchy of these skeletons. Junan whispered, "See that old stick in each skeleton. You will use your spear when I gesture. Make sure the skeleton does not capture your presence." Junan guided how Albert should attack in the perfect timing.

Albert firmly held the spear. He did not run instead treaded like cat toward the skeleton. It was coming to attack Junan because Junan got its attention.

Albert remained unnoticed by the skeleton till the spear stabbed the old stick. The wooden skeleton immediately collapsed on the extra white ground. Junan got succeeded.

This theory worked this means they could possibly 'kill' the wooden skeletons. He thought to follow up for the next target. One after the other they were able to get rid half of them.

It slowly decreased the amount of mess created by the pursuit of skeletons and the team members.

Two members of the first team ran at one direction because the skeleton made them helpless.

The previously cleaned and composed appearance of the town changed much worse. There were wooden sticks scattered everywhere.

"Hah so we will face a tree as the boss? Imagine I am stabbing a tree like it is the worst enemy?" Clark asked. He was helpless until team head came with some plan.

Not simple attacks worked and the skeletons were weirdo yet stronger at least they could fend off every attack. It was embarrassing for most players to run around.

"It can be woodcutter if I am not wrong?" Junan thought and looked in the direction of the rail track. He was thinking what other type of problem could arise in this town and where they could search the card.

He was curious whether there was some boss or just the card was hidden somewhere. From the previous quest they came to know that it was not necessary that they should look the card with some boss.

It could be anywhere under the particular area of the quest. Jake got some relief after the skeletons were 'killed'

This was the first quest where he ran madly. He did not want to get captured by the skeleton. Who knows how the skeleton would have attacked him.

Now he was looking at the wooden cottage and the chairs with horror. What if they also turned out bigger skeletons. As if his thoughts were heard by the chairs and the cottage.

They started forming wooden statures. "I guess we have some remaining enemies waiting for us." Jake pointed toward the cottage and spoke.
