Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

@Kal-El: Given this is both fantasy and heavily anime-inspired, breaking or dulling weapons really won't happen unless dramatically appropriate. ^^;

For the mythology thing, it's still connected to that and needs a rename. If you want examples of weapons in-setting with names, the main one I have in mind is Repharion, so... something like that? Obviously not actually named Repharion, since that's taken, but something along those lines.

He can stay a magic swordsman perfectly fine, just tone the amount of magic he has down.

As for the stuff with Fanilly, just tell me what you had in mind and I'll say if it's okay.

@Kal-El: Okay, um... I'll be honest and say I think he's a bit overpowered. He has too many abilities, stacking them on an already-powerful sword seems a bit much if he's that skilled as well. I'll also ask for original names for anything you come up with, as real-life mythology stuff doesn't really fit the setting.

I'll also be honest and say that deliberately blinding children to make special magic knights seems a bit unlikely. If you do want to keep him blind there's a lot of potential explanations for it.

Also, for having a special bond with Fanilly, could you discuss the details with me beforehand? Anyone wanting things like that really needs to. ^^;

To be fair I don't think all the knights are that weird, maybe a couple are, Fanilly's upset and confused right now though.

As for the whole undead thing... under the dual church, only mindless or wicked undead are an abomination. Non-inherently-evil or mindlessly violent sapient undead are... well, a lot of people are wary but they're not actually considered as an abomination or anything.

Thought I'd clarify in this situation. ^^;

There are some races that no-one likes for not entirely deserved reasons though.

... Not orcs, orcs deserve every reason.

@Zebanamana: Either one could work, really.

@Themerlinhawk: I think it was already done?

I meant I okayed them to scout ahead for any other groups of bandits to ambush, not that any bandits were going to escape the skirmish.

Fanilly's a bit busy with being upset and now confused, at least.

I okayed a small group, not any of the other stuff though.

Edit: Also, @Raineh Daze told me to include finishing off the bandit in my post.

Thankfully, the skirmish did not last long. Several bandits were immobilized by ice magic, and the majority simply lay dead. Fanilly relaxed, slightly. While the battle had been disorganized... there had not been much time to plan, and her orders had at least been followed. No bandit, so far as could be told, had escaped. Unfortunately, the live bandits did not seem inclined to give up any information. Fanilly felt the reason behind this was... well, likely because they knew their fate already. They had murdered innocent people. They had killed soldiers. They had even used an innocent farmer(who was thankfully being treated) as bait for a trap. That meant that their fate was execution, and there was nothing they could do to change it unless they escaped. Cooperation, in their eyes, was useless.

This was not true for the man Fanilly saw next. To her horror, he was still alive, ran through by the undead knight's enormous sword, on his feet and spitting blood. She extended one hand, opening her mouth to try and stop such a brutal treatment of the enemy... and then he shook his head in response to her question. There were no further ambushes.

Fanilly could only watch as the enormous blade left his body in a flash, and took his head with equal speed, letting his body tumble to the ground in a bleeding heap.

Her hand fell to her side. Deep down, she felt that... something had been wrong there... and yet the man would have died the same way anyway, would he have not? Perhaps with the beheading it was a quicker and more merciful fate... The teenaged girl took a deep breath.

"... There are no injured among our number, are there?" she said, lifting her head and turning to face her knights. Before she could have this fact confirmed to her, however, her eyes fell on another still living-bandit, lying at the feet of one of her knights. His belly had been cut open to spill his innards...

Fanilly thought she had seen Katrina fight in such a manner during the battle, but she had hoped she was mistaken. But this...! Clenching her fists, she strode over to the knight, smoothly drawing her sword once more. She hesitated only a moment, before her blade flashed and the bandit was released from his suffering.

"... We are Knights of Justice and Mercy," she said, a tremor in her voice as she faced Katrina, "While we are here to kill these bandits... such cruelty is completely unnecessary! That man was simply left to suffer! We are all trained knights, are we not?! Such cruelty should be easy for us to avoid!"

She rounded on the other knights, turning to ensure no such brutality had been committed elsewhere. It was at about this moment that Sult complained of the blood on her armor and clothing, wishing to change, that briefly took the girl out of her anger.

"... I... what?"

I was... about to point that out, I sort of am still the GM and will be the one to say if anyone escaped/who gives information and what information they gave.
