The Final Hazard

Fortune knew a few things about wearing heavy armor, but two important facts were coming to his mind in relation to the struggle that he was currently engaged with; Metal armor was quite heavy and it tended to be rather difficult to move around in. Not just due to the weight of it, but also because the design of metal armor meant that doing things that required a bit more fineness where hindered by the same unyielding nature that would protect the wearer from most blows.

He couldn't afford to glance over at the ally that had been thrown off the downed knight with a strange show of force to see if he was alright; Fortune needed to take advantage of his superior position in their grapple before the man attempted to bring whatever foul witchcraft was altering the weight of things around him to bare. Making the attempt to twist the knight's arm into an awkward position to help limit his strength, Fortune made one hell of an effort to drive an armored knee into the man's throat while it was at the perfect height for such a blow.

Since the man could freely move his head from side to side, it was clear that he didn't have a proper plate to cover the gap between helm and breastplate; Even if he did, a solid blunt blow there might not be lethal but it would still be enough to cause breathing issues and hopefully knock the bastard flat on his back again so that he could follow up by placing a foot on his throat to hold him down on the ground.

You there? We haven't frightened you off have we?

I'm sorry if I did...

Civilization - New Lands, New Glory! V. 2.0

I still find it funny that The Children of Artemon lost 13 people to the orcs and then panicked, removed a good leader from power and proceeded to run like little bitches as far away as possible without a further fight. For followers of a god of craftsmenship, they really have no faith in their own creations...

Actually... now that I think about it, just how time sensitive is this mission? All the bounty said was that you had to provide solid evidence of this army and it's abilities to claim the reward, it never said you had to be the first one to do so.

Go nuts.

I guess I can mention it here to see what the GM's opinion is. Artyom is going to suggest (after this argument with Kieran is settled) that the party stay on the island they are on for a couple of days of team work exercises. Yes they know how to fight... but they don't really know a thing about each other and how to work together on the field. It would also give Ade a little extra time to get some training in. Combined with the travel time on the boat it should be enough for her to refine her fighting style enough that Artyom would be satisfied with her performance.

I'm sorry, Artyom actually does have a legitimate suggestion on what the party can do but I felt the need to give you the chance to react to him... well, attacking your archer. Hit or miss, he isn't planning to follow the attack up.

The clicking of fingers in his face from the bowman, alongside the dribble about this somehow being a 'democracy' caused Artyom to turn on the man quickly while all his vision saw was red, his hand tightening into a fist that he aimed to drive into the archer's stomach as a growl escaped his throat. "This is not a democracy! We are literally going into the shattered, monster covered remains of the homelands of most of the people here, including mine! Take this seriously you twat!"

He made no more to follow up the sudden assault, panting a bit from his yell that caused his armor to creak from the raising and falling of his chest. For the moment, he didn't seem to notice anyone else around him.

I feel the need to explain Artyom's thought process at the moment. From what he has seen of Ade, she looks like a refugee who has no business going into the ruined remains of two kingdoms that have been overrun with monsters from the abyss and thus actually taking a person like that with them is a stupid idea, not just because its endangering her life, but most likely theirs as well.

However, seeing that fire in her spirit has made him consider that all she really needs is some time and training to make up for the above liability... the former of which the team has in limited supply unless... Hmm. Just thought of something that Artyom might suggest.

If the party set sail the moment the ship was ready to go, how long would it take to reach out target destination?

The Final Hazard

Fortune blinked in surprise as the pummel of his sword came down... and felt like it had collided with solid metal rather then a normal helmet. On an intelligent level he understood that since this was an illusion or the personal realm of a demon like he had suspected from the start then that would make perfect sense; Normal rules of reality and common sense were more like suggestions rather then actual rules in those circumstances... That didn't make living through it any less confusing or worrisome.

Watching as the man whom had been wrestling with the knight to prevent that enchanted arrow of his from touching the ground took a punch to the face before pouncing on the knight to attempt to drive the arrow in his visor deeper in order to end him, Fortune took a moment to drop his sword to free up his hands so that he could grasp the now freed up arm holding the arrow in order to keep it away from the ground itself, but also to prevent the struggling coward of a knight from stabbing it into the side of the one trying to finish him.
