Quoted By:
You take two careful, deliberate steps forward, standing up to your full height and raising the katana overhead with a white knuckle grip.
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-s">"KIYUH-HAAH!"</span></span></span>
No sooner than the battle cry escapes your lips, the wooden sword is crashing down on the monster's spine, it doesn't even have the chance to turn it's head before-
<span class="mu-i">THWACK</span>
You shatter it's backbone and send ribs skittering across the stone floor in either direction. In short order, the broken pieces of the <span class="mu-s">Stalhound</span> fade and sublimate into a dark violet smoke. A small, red, heart-shaped jewel erupts from the noxious gas, just as the rupee did in the other room, bouncing on the floor a couple of times before landing at your feet.
<span class="mu-i">Tink-t-tink</span>
You pick it up, and it melts into nothing inside of your palm, magically restoring some of your vitality.
<span class="mu-s">You received a small piece of heart, restoring one quarter of a Heart, and bringing you up to two and three quarters (2 3/4)</span>
With that, there's no sign that the monster had ever even been there, and yet your trepidation about what may be amiss in the catacombs is more present than ever... You take a breath, and sheath your katana for the moment. Before you take the time to fully analyze your surroundings, you decide to check the three chests in the room.
<span class="mu-s">You rummage through the chests... You find objects...</span>
<span class="mu-b">You have received... A Red Rupee!</span>
<span class="mu-b">This rupee is worth twenty (20) normal rupees</span>
<span class="mu-b">You have received... A <span class="mu-s">Glass Jar</span>!</span>
<span class="mu-b">This jar can be used to store all sorts of things, like liquids, bugs, or maybe even a fairy...</span>
<span class="mu-b">You have received... A <span class="mu-s">Deku Nut</span>!</span>
<span class="mu-b">These nut pods produce a small bang and flash when they strike a surface hard, and make excellent projectiles.</span>
