The child delights in violence.
Shakti

Shakti sat at the bar, back ramrod-straight. She stared down at the thin stew she'd been served.

She was not ready to be locked in with this many people at once. But she'd been wandering the trackless snow for weeks. The caravan that found her was finally giving her some direction.

"Yes, I can fight kobolds, but in return, I will ask you a question. If you agree to answer, then I will help."

With surgical precision, Shakti slowly pierced the left-most barrel with the prongs of her trident.

"It is, however, an ill omen of how far things in Circadia must have fallen when a weasel can freely assault the matarajni."

"Darkness is, then. Perhaps we should take the entire barrel with us?"

Shakti breathes in deep. "This is a mirror. It is bringing the inside out. The inside" - she taps at her armoured torso - "Very much the same. So fear not: there is nothing that this mirror can show you that is anything less than you, and you."

She pulls her faceplate back down, an impassive burnt elf face, very much like the one it replaces. "Let's have that wall down, now. There are more things a mirror shows than blood and bone."

Shakti sprinted towards the Darkness. Her trident struck deep.

"I shatter your mirror."

Attack roll: 1d20 + 4 = 19
Damage roll: 1d10 + 4 = 12


There was a flash at its impact. Not fire itself but its meaning suddenly projected itself through the prongs. The heat licked and caressed the Shadow.

Burning Sigil: 1d20 + 3 = 8

gently caress, gently caress, loving hell. At least he takes 5 ongoing damage. :vd:

Shakti does something unusual and starts smiling. When she pulls down her faceplate, a wide grin has spread across her face.

"We can learn something from the Darkness. What mirrors, I ask, will we show these men? What insides shall we bring out?"

Shakti will roll INT with Murderhobo +4 to draw on her past experience killing the Dark Lord's troops and see what kind of force this is, what its capabilities are and what the best plan of attack would be.

Shakti stares down at the horse-things. "Yes. The cliff. Sudden and precise unmaking of the cliff's face. The beasts they use are strong, but easily spooked. The cliff breaks, then we attack."

She holds up her hands, one with fingers splayed and one a tight fist. "Two forces, Open and Closed. The Open - those of us swift and fleet - attack from behind. The Closed - those of us strong and armoured - attack head-on. Kill the guards, free the prisoners, take our promised pay. Quick as easy, and no death shall stain the grass."

From her hiding spot, Shakti raised her voice. "Then do it! Kill yourself! I would kill thousands more than this for the chance to destroy one Quisitor! Let your kingdom come, and I will finish those who remain!"

"Ah, Brindonford." Shakti spread her arms out as if to embrace the city. "When I left this place it was winter. They had gone through a particularly cruel famine and were succumbing to anarchy. They had a rough-hewn altar over there - where that rat-stick entrepreneur is, see? - and they were going to disembowel the local scholars."

"It's good that they survived, though," she added quickly.

"I feel -- out of touch. I'd enjoy reading up on what I've missed over the century. If you can tell me what establishment you will be at, I'll try and meet you there after I've done some reading."

"Oh. I guess they were dangerous after all. What a shame."

Shakti leaps over the heads of the lesser rodents. She plunges the white-hot prongs of her trident into the reeking fur of the biggest rat. It smells a lot worse when it starts burning.

Attack Roll: 1d20 + 4 = 22
Damage Roll: 1d10 + 3 = 5

Burning Sigil roll: 1d20 + 2 = 15, fuckin balls

so the big rat takes 10 damage this round and takes 5 ongoing

Shakti shakes off splinters and acid. She slashes at the rat with her trident, and invokes the words that release the sigil.

Roll to end acid = 1d20 = 7.

Attack Roll = 1d20 + 5 = 16, gently caress this game

well at least it takes 6 damage anyway

"I don't think she's alive. You would be wise to bury her before she decomposes too much. Are you injured?"
