Depending on make, length, ore used, and refining style. In this case, a weapon like this in the hands of a creature like him 7 lbs would end up being too brittle. So more refining and in a since a stronger Ore is needed. Around the 14 lbs marker is a point at which a normal human can lift and use, to the effect of being able to swing back and forth with slower more powerful strikes.

@Darkwatck01

Meh, it's not worth debating. 14 pound zweihander it is. :)

The Faraway Land

I mean, bug old sword around (calculating for its size and with to maintain a blade able to be used) it is more then likely 14-15 lbs. (Make of metal has alot to do with it...can't be using that cheep stuff matey)

@Darkwatck01

A typical Zweihander is about 7 pounds, according to a google search.

The Faraway Land

Actually quick question. What exactly would Tiberius be feeling right now? Hes not magical so hes not really effected by that part of the spell.

@Lord Zee

Mana is the energy that binds your soul to your body. Without it, it'll be the equivalent of getting old. You'll tire more easily, your body becomes more brittle, and you may have out-of-body experiences if it's particularly drained. It won't be too pronounced in one as young as Tiberius, but it'll hit the likes of Xen much harder.

The Faraway Land

(As soon as the blade [catalyst] is removed from the ground the Prominent Walk of Peace ends. With out something maintain said spell, it ends.)

@Darkwatck01

They might not figure that out yet. Ooh! I have an idea! @Cuccoruler, see if you can have Vert withdraw the sword, perhaps in a desperate attempt to do something useful. It'll count as saving everyone's life. ;)

What'll the rest of us be doing while this happens?

@rush99999

Getting out of the AOE of the Silence so you can cast a spell, while Tiberius and Kaite keep him occupied. The enemy can't cast when he's swordfighting (probably).

There was a rush of air, a sonic explosion, and Xen suddenly appeared at Vert's side. As he watched her crawl away, his breath caught in his lungs. Was that...pity? He reached down and pulled Vert's arm over his shoulder, looking back at the Warlock as he did so.
Why do you have to try and kill us, indeed? Xen mused to himself, his lips breathing his silent question.

@Hawlin
Kaite's hands shook uncontrollably as she fumbled for the ring in one of her buttoned pockets. The little silver trinket wobbled in her hand. "E-Eru..." Kaite whispered, "I nee- ehrnf...need it back...all of it."

For a few agonizing moments, nothing seemed to happen. Then, a tiny glowing speck of dust floated from the edge. Soon, long trails of golden dust wrapped around her and dove into her body. Her strength and mana returned to her. With it came something else - excruciating pain. The armor glowed with otherworldly light, and old wounds that the accursed armor had once healed reopened with violence. Skin and muscle audibly ripped apart. The metal was pressed so hard to her that it stemmed the outflow of blood, but that only seemed to make the wounds feel worse, with blinding heat searing every opening. Her vision went white.

But for the first time in years, she was free of the curse. There was no way of knowing how long that would last, but for now at least, her mind was clear.

"You want it all back?" said a voice, calm and clear.

"Then get up and take it."

Tiberius and Kaite will both duel the Warlock together. Think Star Wars Episode I, only nobody dies.

Xen'Desh and Dionaea will not die yet. I will control them until we reach the mines, and that's the arc where they'll die. We'll have a major boss fight there and another twist in the story.

The Faraway Land

Welp, I guess that's that.

The next major city we encounter is a dwarven boom town around the mines. Survive the attack at camp, and we'll go there next.

@Hawlin

I didn't realize I was here to entertain you. You also forgot your hashtags.

And, yes, it was necessary as to convey my feelings on the subject.

On the subject of being helpful, @Thinslayer, I believe the best thing that I could do is bow out and allow the rest of you to continue on, as I do not see myself as a good fit. Wish you all the best of luck.

@XenoCyanide

Just when I was having some second thoughts about the things I said, too. It's 1:35am here and I have to be up at 5:30am; can't you wait a little before throwing me under the bus? You're not exactly easy to replace.

The Faraway Land

If I may be a bit clearer (tl;dr), I'm not completely disagreeing with you. I need to work more on worldbuilding than I am, and I intend to correct that. I've mostly GM'd for fan-games, so I have little actual worldbuilding expeience (which isn't none - I once hosted a successful RP based in a fully indigenous world). What I'm trying to say is there isn't as much worldbuilding effort being made by the players. This isn't like an MMORPG where the world's already fully made for you down to the last detail and you just have to mess around in it. I'm quite incapable of describing things that well. This is a story game, not an MMORPG. You create the world you play in. All I'm really asking for is a little more involvement with that.

Because I'll probably burn out first, otherwise...
