Probably now would be a good time to kill the birds." Sleeper looks at kaleb and grins. "My thoughts exactly" and he closes his eyes, a small, dark portal opens up and he pulls out a set of throwing knives that are emanating darkness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Magi she/her Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 19 hours ago, The Stormfather said: The birds fly off out of view for a moment, but then come back. It looks as if each of them are carrying fist-sized rocks in their talons. 16 hours ago, The Stormfather said: The eagles caw and fly above you, dropping the rocks. The rocks take a few seconds to fall, and are dropped with surprising accuracy. 15 hours ago, Dragonheir said: “Scatter!” calls Nick, hoping to prevent anyone from getting hit. He waits a little longer than he probably should, hoping to catch any rocks in case they don’t get out fast enough. Cursing, Aki dives out of the way as the rocks start to fall. "Why didn't I bring my bow?" All he had was his Katana and his hunting knife. Neither would be great as a throwing weapon, and he couldn't really jump at the eagles because they'd have more maneuverability in the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeper chucks the first knife, which goes very wide. Then he throws the next one, which also goes wide, then he waits. the knives turn around like a boomerang and rocket towards the remaining eagle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick is slightly baffled by the magic, although nobody can tell because his hood is up. SIMON records the display, trying to come up with a scientific explanation. 9 hours ago, J.

Once the fight is over, Nick says “there’s a village down there; they might have bows. Or you could explain how they work and then your new suit could make one. I’ve done archery before, but I could never figure out what all those pulleys were for; they didn’t let me examine one closely, and they I forgot to look it up. That was before I got SIMON activated during school.” 4 hours ago, The Stormfather said: The eagle drops from the sky, dead.

They’ll be ready in a minute or two.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of you can attack at range; I don’t have enough hydrogen for it right now.” Quote Aki still uses he/him pronouns. Nick goes back to walking down the hill.

"We have no space for refugees and costumed maniacs!" ONe guard shouts, gesturing at the oddly dressed (For them) Nick. "Forgive him." Another guard walks up along the wall. "I believe what he means is that the main keep is too full to have you in it. The Werthryn-day celebrations have brought hundreds into our gate. You can, however, go through the western gate into the lower wards, which is where you would find you market anyway." The guard nods to another a few dozen feet away, who nods and begins walking and waves you over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
