[quote=Flamelord] "Ah," Tai replied simply with a nod. So, a variant on a gunblade then. That was interesting, in terms of combat applications, though not being able to stab something and shoot it at the same time had to be a bit of a drawback. Then again, all it really required was a different fighting style, and somehow Robert was still alive using it, so it seemed to work for him. Well then, that would be interesting to see how their combat styles would match up.Just as he finished speaking, they emerged from the forest into a large prairie, and surprisingly Tai thought much the same thing as Robert did, making them both Masters of the Obvious. Coming to a momentary stop, he scanned the area with a careful eye to detail, looking to see if he could locate something that would show where the artifacts they were here to retrieve where, if it was indeed in this location. "I don't suppose you see any sign of the Artifacts," he asked, unsure as to the direction they should head next. [/quote] Robert pointed to a hill that was not too far away. The hill almost seemed to be the only bit of land that wasn't flat. "Maybe that hill? If it isn't, at least it will give us higher ground to try and see the artifact in this sea of red grass." So they continued walking towards the hill. Robert noticed several Sitting Bulls in the distance, all scattered about. They weren't close enough to be a real threat though, so Robert ignored them. Robert looked behind him to see a large mountain and all he could think was how large that mountain was compared to their current destination. "I'd hate to have to climb that thing. Looks like it would be grueling work," Robert thought to himself. Robert then squinted at the mountain, he was sure that he saw about seven small dots that he assumed were either people or Grimm. Robert turned his head back to the hill in front of him. "Man, I haven't fought any Grimm all day. Nature has been attacking more than Grimm. I'm almost disappointed. I kinda hope there will be something to fight when we find this relic. They wouldn't leave the relic unguarded would they?" Robert thought to himself.
