Under the ground. [solo]

[Spades]

"Krick...krick" the sounds of cracking joints sounded in throughout the cavern as Spades was entering the a large cave entrance after crossing through some quarry. "It's time I stretch a bit after doing nothing but mentally train for so long" the monk strangely said to himself for no reason in particular. It didn't take long after entering the caves to find out that this was something much different than fighting in his usual spots, the air felt more stagnant and sounds more often echoed off the cave walls making it difficult for one to hear what's going on around their person, the most glaring or rather most dimming factor was the fact that he could not see even half of what he normally does due to the light only coming from one source. and even then there were various obstacles blocking portions of it from shining in to the deeper parts of the cave. After some time had passed walking deeper into the cave Spades had a difficult time seeing some of the corners of the cave as well as further down into it, at this point though Spades felt slightly nervous due to the complete lack of monsters that had engaged him. He did not have an exact name for the feeling but the best we he can give it is like the silence and calm in the gaps of reloading a weapon or some idiot makes the wrong move during the standoff. In the middle of his thoughts the monk tripped and almost fell to the ground, catching himself at the last moment he turned back towards the area he tripped at with a glare. To his embarrassment it was a decent sized hole in the ground, "Damn whatever made this hole." the angry monk said out loud to no one in particular. He got back to his full height and clapped his hands together a few times to get the dirt off them, about to continue his journey further down into the cave he head a faint echo of something lightly scratching the ground. This made the already nervous werecat feel hostile as well, he turned on his Battle Perception skill somewhat giving him a better way of spotting monsters. With that as a added insurance he did not move without caution as he slowly advanced further into the cave. Not much further from where he initially tripped the monk saw numerous holes littered in his immediate area. This set the werecat on edge as this would most likely mean that whatever made the large number of holes were in the area, on guard for any type of thing that can come up from Spade's skill he felt a sudden impact in the back of his person. He hit the ground but rolled at the same time while falling to see what hit him, all of a sudden the pincers of a bug came into his sight, by instinct he grabbed the two pincers and pushed back to avoid getting a face full of bug mouth.
