Taylor - running speed

A single hit wasn't enough to kill one, and even two wasn't enough. They worked as a pack, other members working to protect the injured.

I was having trouble tracking them, but I simply kept blasting them until the pack retreated, leaving a single body on the ground.

Mage hand was barely able to pick it up, but I lifted it toward me. I needed its power.

As I reached out to touch the blood on its snout, it suddenly latched on to my arm.

-25 HP!

+1% PHYSICAL RESISTANCE.

Shit!

I couldn't use Far strike because I was using mage hand to hold it up. I suspected that my spider climb was limited to what I could lift, and if we both went down, the dogs that were waiting in the fog would come for me.

TRUE STRIKE! TRUE STRIKE!

The dog sagged on my arm, and its mouth slipped off my arm. I held it up, and I grabbed its mouth. There was blood on it, and I touched it, then let the thing drop to splatter on the metal streets below.

+200 % RUNNING SPEED!

SPECIAL AFFINITY: +10% TO PLANEWALKING ATTEMPTS TO RETURN TO SILENT HILL. THE MORE OF THIS PLACE YOU ASSIMILATE, THE EASIER IT IS TO RETURN. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A MINIMUM 1% CHANCE OF A MISFIRE. LEVEL 5 (+50%).

I ran back up the wall, and I discovered that instead of forty miles an hour, I was hitting sixty-five. That meant that I was now faster than most cars, at least in city traffic.

Bad day
