[h2][center]Gillian[/center][/h2] [i]Interacting with: [/i] [@PaulHaynek][@Raineh Daze][@Crimson Paladin] [color=00aeef]"Jeez...sounds like there is some history there Radistirin"[/color] Gillian huffed, looking over the diminutive vampire with a teasing expression but committing the comment to memory all the same. He didn't really want to try and tussle with someone who spooked HER of all people. Thankfully, Reliquaries weren't typically allowed to wander that far a field. Too much chance to lose their reliquaries to potential enemies of the state and all that. [color=00aeef]"There are a few."[/color] Gill said, turning his attention back to Fleuri. [color=00aeef]"None of that old house wife shit though. Garlic, holy water, running water and the like. Vampires arent FANS of those things, but its more like an allergic reaction than a weaponizable weakness....So unless you can kill a man using his own hay fever I don't recommend."[/color] Gillian stood and walked over to the chalkboard, taking a piece of chalk in hand as he wrote (thankfully having a deal more real estate than the undead paladin). [color=00aeef]"The most obvious, and in my mind the best method, is like I said. Sneak attacks to decapitate or shred their heart. My arms are a good example of a weapon designed for the latter."[/color] He said as he wrote 'conventional methods' and 'blessed weapons', raising his free hand as he wrote, stabbing it at chest level back towards Fleuri. [color=00aeef]"I enter through the back or through the ribs, then...Pop"[/color] He sighed, fingers splaying violently with an violent clack of metal. [color=00aeef]"Through judicious applications of massive trauma, I'm fairly likely to get a killing blow. I also wrench my hand OUT in that position so, if I didn't manage to kill them, I've atleast taxed their regenerative ability hard enough that it gives me time to line up a second strike. At which point..."[/color] He adds, whispering quietly for a moment before his frame burst into flame. [color=00aeef]"I fall back to a flaming offense. This is pretty much the standard for any Reon based holy weapon, though Ice based ones in the Mayon tradition DO exist."[/color] He said, letting the flames dissipate as he added 'fire' and 'ice' to the list. [color=00aeef]"Bare in mind, the source for EITHER of those two need not be divine, though weapons like that help. Conventional magic or even just good old fashion oil and a matches are also entirely effective. But if you use ice, make sure to freeze them all the way through, not around them. You want it to do as much damage as quickly as possible to slow down their regeneration."[/color] Finally he writes 'Abjuration' on the board. [color=00aeef]"This last method is of note if you ever work in countries that are more...accepting of blood magic and necromancy. Counter spells and methods of dispelling magical effects are good for threat reduction of any caster, but it requires a lot of preknowlege in the same field as what you're countering from what I've been told."[/color] He said, writing 'unreliable' in big bold letters next to it. [color=00aeef]"Personally, I don't recommend it. A mage with enough mana to become a vampire after death isn't likely to have learned JUST one school of magic in their time. And with how broad schools of magic can be, all you're really doing is inviting the vampire to focus their attention on the caster. Which is the last place anyone wants to be. "[/color]
