Having Kleigg in the party is sorta like a double edged sword, except instead of a handle there's another smaller blade for you to grab on to.

Guess I better invest in some gauntlets next time i get to a blacksmith then. :)

*Be lucky t' get one or two cores intact, not an ambush this time*
>4 mana Power flow, and two 3 stamina swings at the nearest drake, aim for its head to start with, if it evades then switch to aiming for the torso.

> Examine the tower while talking to the guard, as I realize I don't recall exactly what it looks like.

The tower is built of rectangular stone bricks, windows crudely carved out or knocked out for every floor. The entrance looks like it was formed after building the tower as well, rough around the edges without any special stone framework around it. Small lamps are in most of the windows, and several huge lamps at the base of the tower floor the surrounding hundred feet or so with light. Other than that, it's a fairly plain and uninteresting tower.

Other Guard: "Ettiin? She's our day-shift door armor. She's on the third floor in the tower, you can come in if you'd like. Travelers usually stop here for the night, rest until dawn and that kinda thing."

"No, your mind is not playing tricks on you. I blot out magic in and around me - an accident of birth. You can't distinguish me from an illusion, but believe me that I am a man just as you are."

"Now that I have been so forward, might I ask what brings you out tonight?"

???: "I am simply a man who is fascinated with rebellions - a group of people with a unified idea that their ruling party does not agree with, take up arms so they may make their vision a reality to all. Investigating, is what brings me out tonight, but it is a secondary objective. I've a message to deliver to a dear old friend who is usually difficult to reach, but she has suddenly become available and it is an opportunity that I shall not miss.

I do have a tertiary objective, one that I did not expect to accomplish so soon - Find the negation user who is rumored to be in the region."


The man leans towards you, brows furrowing as he scrutinizes you.

???: "You are a negation user, but not the person I am searching for."

You take to the air and start ascending. The second and third levels have toys as well, from what you can see through the windows, but the fourth has windows blocked with curtains, a few with lights visible. Must be the owners' living quarters. Landing on the roof, there's an entrance to the inside of the building, but it's probably locked.

"Once again I'm really sorry to bother this late at night, but this is kind of a must right now. I'll be doing very important things soon and one of the most obvious things that I'm lacking is combat skills. You see, I'm mostly a simple telepath. Aside from that I'm not really suited for many other things. That's why I need to get versed in the art of fencing, to be capable of doing more things.

As of what kind of, I'm not really sure since this interest grew on me not too long ago. I'd suppose that some kind of combat that didn't rely completely on my physical strength, but mostly in technique and finesse. Probably something along the lines of a rapier or a sabre rather than two handed longsword?

And thanks, your help will be invaluable."

???: "Yes. He supposedly spent time in this city before vanishing some time before the Equilibrium War. All records that I've managed to find on him have his name blacked out, and there aren't many of those to begin with. As for my reason for searching for him - I believe that negation users possess some other capability other than blotting out magic. I wish to find them and document their skills, for no other purpose than a thirst to put knowledge to ink

So, while you may not be the exact negation I seek, you can certainly aid me in my task, if you wish to do so. In return, perhaps I can help you with your abilities."

She moves to the sword wall and pulls two blades down, handing them to you.

Scarred Chirop: "Give these a feel."

One of them is a rapier, not a great cutting edge cut but it can manage, mostly for stabbing. Light in hand, balanced and easy to maneuver.

The other, a colichemarde, has a strange shape to it. The first 40% of the blade (starting from the hilt) has a four-pointed star-like cross-section, giving it a sturdy feel, while the rest of the blade to the tip has a rhomboid cross section. It doesn't seem possible to cut with, but it feels like a strong piercing weapon and would block heavier weapons better than the rapier.

Scarred Chirop: "The rapier's good for thrusting and decent at cuts, but against armor you're gonna be screwed. The colichemarde can't cut anything, but it's tough enough that you can jam it stuff and it'll be fine. Blocks better than the rapier, too."

She holds out a third sword, which you get a hold of after putting down the rapier.

It's a saber - a bit front heavy, won't be as nearly as fast as the rapier or the colichemarde.

Scarred Chirop: "Saber, slower than the other two, but a better cutting edge. See if any of those seem right, unless if you want to give a few more swords a feel?"

Linna uses Kinetic Barrier

John attacks (Falling Star) Linna
Linna attempts to evade using Delay and Evade
John: 8 Aim + 6 Roll = 14 vs 26 = 5 Roll + 11 Aim + 10 Evasion :Linna
Attack misses

John uses Course Correction and attacks (Falling Star) Linna
Linna attempts to evade with Block
John: 8 Aim + 2 Roll = 10 vs 12 = 1 Roll + 11 Aim :Linna
Block succeeds
Attack lands, inflicting 11 damage to Kinetic Barrier and 0 Trauma to Linna


You Power Flow up, and from Linna’s concentration you an only guess that she does the same - except, a shimmering barrier also forms around her.

Leaping towards the maid with a Falling Star, you miss your attack, as expected, but Course Correct yourself midair - slamming your cushioned halberd into a near-invisible forcefield surrounding Linna, smashing through and then hitting her block.

Seems like she’s got another trick up her sleeve for minimizing damage.

You nod to Tabi.

"How will we work this out?"

???: ”I have a building I’m staying in temporarily, at the edge of town. The two of you can both come, and we can work ‘til morning. I must leave tomorrow, so time is of essence.

If that is not convenient, I will be travelling to Vranhal and will be staying there for several days, so you can find me there.”


Tabi leans closer to you.

Tabi: ”If you’re up for it, we can both go. Improving and learning about your abilities seems important to you.”

"How would the saber do against armor when compared to the colichemarde? I presume that the colichemarde would be better?"

Scarred Chirop: ”Aye. Now, by better I don’t mean it’s gonna be punching holes through metal, but it’ll be a bit better off. If you’re a kinetics user though, then yeah you can just, punch through. If you’re not kinetics, like you are, we do have this...”

Image

She pulls another sword from the wall - it’s a colichemarde again, but the pommel appears to be some sort of blue stone.

On the hilt of the weapon right under the crossguard is a circular ring connected to the grip with a trigger inside of it. The store owner pulls the trigger and a faint hissing sound emits from the point of the weapon.

Scarred Chirop: ”A simple construct weapon. Pull the trigger, and kinetic forces violently push material away from the blade, starting at a tiny spot on the tip to about an inch down from that. Goes through armor pretty easily. These became popular after Fremit D’Leo started using one.”

Attack lands, inflicting 36 Cut


A drake launches an energy bolt at Tuhota, who manages to evade, the bolt hitting the ground a distance away and exploding.

Pillars of flame erupt from Horoma’s palms, hitting one, then two, then three drakes, reducing them to piles of ash and bone Tuhota follows up with a missed fireball towards a Drake, and then landing a larger one, charring a large chunk of its body.

You rush to the charred drake, connecting a Power Flow’d, stamina-fueled warhammer swing to its head, and then another, bringing the beast down, while Miimas fires her rifle at the last Drake, leaving a grizzly bullet wound, and then rushes in with her saber, hacking deep into the reptile’s flesh.

The last living drake, shot and sliced, looks like it’s nearly dead. It’ll probably bleed out soon, and definitely doesn’t look interested in fighting anymore.

Grant: Looks like two intact cores from this fight.

"I see, perhaps I will take shelter for a moment."

You enter the tower, deactivating and putting away your lamp, and take a quick look around on the first floor to locate the stairs.

Image

The layout looks fairly basic - four rooms around a staircase in the center. There are a few travellers resting in one of the rooms, and plenty of food to go around.

Heading up to the third floor, you peek into a room and see it occupied by a single chirop. She’s sitting against a wall, opened book in one hand and an opened paper package of food in the other.

In the space beside her is an array of metal, armored plates from a complete suit, disassembled and neatly arranged. A longsword is also there, along with a pack, a rolled up sleeping mat, and a lamp.

Ettiin: ”Hey, you’re here.”
