Gareth (Endurance +5) Thursday May 8th, 2003 11:50:21 PM
The warrior graciuosly accepts Nonam's spell. "Thanks, my friend. I'd say we best be on the move.". He bows to the townfolk and says "We shall return with your friends. Best of luck to you all.".
DM Jan Thursday May 8th, 2003 11:54:52 PM
Just moving things along a little....
After a few poignant farewells to the villagers, the Storms set off east, heading toward the mountains. Good time is made for the most part, the ground is firm - grassland, scattered with a few shrubs. Mid afternoon - it starts to change. The ground underfoot becomes a little squelchy in places.
Whoever is up front and scouting will see the terrain is getting gradualy wetter - there are pools ahead, and the group will have to slow down so they won't lose their footing.
As yet, there is no sign of Derak, and those mountains don't look any closer. There is however a small range of foothills straight ahead, that will probably be reached by nightfall.
Clangden d20+10=20 Friday May 9th, 2003 10:08:11 AM
(ooc just so you know, i am wearing amulet of health +6 so your endurance buff wouldnt be any use to me)
as soon as the group leaves the village, Clangden tells the parrot to stay with the lady and her children like it understands and obeys him. placing the bird on the stump outside it.
when the village is no longer in sight, he orders his shield up, and proceeds to take up the second position.
on full alert, ready to do business.
*spot:20*
Tericus Friday May 9th, 2003 10:16:23 AM
Tericus walks along with the others, when all of the suddend he begins to curse himself. "In all the excitement about the dragon, I forgot to scry for Derak! Im so stupid!" the the cleric shakes his head and continues on, though he looks a little dejected
Jus d20+15=29 d20+12=25 d20+18=23 Friday May 9th, 2003 6:44:58 PM
Chuckling when Nonam offers the Acid Protection, Jus is reminded of his past. "Since it's not protection from poison, you can give it to one of the others. It seems that the only thing that consistently takes me down quickly is poison."
Another smile emerges as Jus sees Clangden leave the bird behind. For being such a cantankerous Dwarf, he sure knows how to keep kids happy.
As Jus progresses and helps watch out for dangerous terrain (Wilderness Lore: 29; Nature Knowledge: 25), Jus overhears Tericus' exclamations (Listen: 23). "You're hardly stupid, my good friend," Jus says. "I expect those warrior women addled your brain."
Gareth Friday May 9th, 2003 10:49:27 PM
The warrior moves with the others as they move into the swampy terrain. "Perhaps we will be able to make the hills and get out of this mess by tonight?".
DM Jan Monday May 12th, 2003 2:18:55 AM
While the parrot remains safely back in the village, the Storms continue on toward the foothills. Here and there, deep pools have collected with narrow, treacherous paths dividing them. However - Jus's skills are enough to guide the group through the quagmire.
Gradually, as the sky darkens - there is a light ahead - a campfire light - up on the top of the hillside.
((OOC - I need a spot check here guys, on the surrounding terrain))

Tericus d20+13=32 Monday May 12th, 2003 7:02:52 AM
(spot check of 32) "Whats that?" Tericus asks as he points to the campfire. then he quickly says "I know its a campfire, but there's something funny about it."
Nonam Monday May 12th, 2003 11:18:12 AM
Since Clangden doesn't need Nonam's endurance spell, he casts it on Addinein or whoever else wants it.
He decides it doesn't really matter anyway since it doesn't look like they'll be reaching the dragon today.
"Why are we walking? Tericus, can't you do that dimension door spell?"
Clangden d20+9=10 Monday May 12th, 2003 2:33:28 PM
tredding through the muck, every now and again having to stop so he can pull his footless boot out of the mire and put it back on. be that as it may, he still tries staying on alert.
(nat. 1 on spot)
Jus Monday May 12th, 2003 7:29:52 PM
"I can do Dimension Door, but where would the fun be in that?" Jus asks.
As they continue, Jus peers into the swamp, half expecting to see dead people looking back at them.
"Tericus, if this dragon is undead," Jus asks, "would you like to take him out on your own?"
Jus d20+18=28 Monday May 12th, 2003 7:30:24 PM Spot roll of 28
Gareth (Invisible, Fly) Monday May 12th, 2003 10:46:15 PM
The warrior trudges through the quagmire with the others. Upon seeing the fire he takes to the air and goes invisible "I'll be right back...". The warrior flies over the campsite to see who may be about.
Addinein d20=2 Monday May 12th, 2003 11:56:08 PM
Addinein follows along with the rest of the group. Having not spent much time in swamps before, Addinein finds himself slightly distracted as he watches the much close over his shoes. :)
DM Jan Tuesday May 13th, 2003 1:33:10 AM
As various spells are discussed between Nonam, Jus and Tericus to make the journey easier, Clangden and Addinein find themselves having to give full concentration as to where they are putting their feet.
As for dead people - thats exactly what Jus sees in the surrounding pools - skeletons, rotting bodies, humanoid, fish, four legged creatures in various stages of decay. Tericus sees it too - watery graves for a whole host of creatures. As darkness begins to fall, the light fails to bounce off the bones in the water.... but the bodies are still there, nevertheless.
Up ahead, not too far away, an invisible Gareth comes across a lone man below him on the ground. The man is sat next to a small campfire, with his head down. Not far away - the ground gives out to a very large, pitch black hole, which leads to who knows where?
Tericus Tuesday May 13th, 2003 6:54:48 AM
"The dragon isnt undead." Tericus tells Jus "I asked Alemi if it was and he told me it wasnt. I can Air Walk all of us, that way we dont have to walk in all this swampland."
Clangden Tuesday May 13th, 2003 8:45:23 AM
turns to Tericus. so, you are telling us that we could have eliminated this drudgery with a spell? thanks for offering it AFTER we have gone through most of it.
he shakes his head as he continues to walk through the muck. concentrating on putting one foot in front of the other without falling in and becoming one of the skeletal remains.
Jus Tuesday May 13th, 2003 9:40:22 AM
Jus laughs at Clangden's complaints. "I thought dwarfs were supposed to like the earth. When we're done here, you should have enough earth on you to last a cycle."
"As for the Air Walk," Jus continues, "that would be nicer than a Dimension Door -- we wouldn't jump by anything along the way."
Nonam Tuesday May 13th, 2003 6:35:52 PM
Nonam looks up ahead, "I think that we're there now, but it might be a nice way to get back. Though if I recall correctly from our previous discussion, you can't affect everyone with the spell. All of us but 1. I could of course, transform into a pegasus and fly back. I've been wanting to do that ever since..."
The mage prattles on about spells and magic to anyone that will listen.
Gareth d20=17 Tuesday May 13th, 2003 10:35:27 PM
The warrior examines the man for afew moments to see if he recognizes him (Percep 17). If not he flies back to the others. "It's just one man next to a campfire. I did not make my presence known to him.". (He also shares if he recognized him).
Addinein Tuesday May 13th, 2003 11:29:00 PM
"Do we plan on going back to the village after this? If we move on after this, we'll be teleporting back to the float anyway."
Once Gareth reports back, Addinein waits for what the group will do.
DM Jan Wednesday May 14th, 2003 1:44:48 AM
The 'yomp' across the swamp continues, eventually leading to ground that becomes a little more solid and starts to rise.
The underlying rock here seems to be of the porous kind, and crops of pale stones jut out of the ground here and there. The pools become smaller, until no more skeletons can be seen.
Gareth reports back to the others. He seems to think that the person in question could well be the Derak person they're looking for - he certainly fits the description.
The campfire is now about 100 yards away up a slight slope. Its starting to get dark. Very dark. Gaps in the clouds reveal the odd star here and there.
Tericus Wednesday May 14th, 2003 6:59:56 AM
"Gareth is already flying, so I wasnt planning on using it on him." then for the sake of arguing any more, Tericus casts Air Walk on everyone. as he zaps Jus he whispers to him "Why is Clangdenn always in a bad mood? Is it because he gave up ale?"
Nonam Wednesday May 14th, 2003 11:11:12 AM
Once the airwalk is in place, Nonam zips out of the muck toward this Derak fellow.
Clangden Wednesday May 14th, 2003 12:40:27 PM
stepping up out of the muck onto the air, Clangden remarks: oh sure, now that we are out of the crap you see fit to lift me up.
walking purposefully towards the campfire, Clangden has axe in the ready position. when he is within 50yds, and noone else has done so, he will call out saying: Derak, if that is you, Alorrn has sent us to aid you. do not be afraid, we come in peace.
DM Jan Thursday May 15th, 2003 2:23:03 AM
To poor Derak, sat there mourning the death of his wife and contemplating his next move which could well mean suicide - an approaching group of flying strangers doesn 't faze him as much as it normally would.
He tenses, then relaxes a little as Alorrn is mentioned. "I don't know who you are," he says in a voice laced with bitterness, "but if you've come to stop me - don't bother. At the very least I will join my wife in death, and hopefully will be finally at peace, and if I can get a few blows into that rotten scaly hide, then so much the better. "The ^%$#$%^ mocks me even now. He knows I'm here. But I am just the beginning. One day, more will rise against him."
Derak looks like a fairly tall, well built guy - his frame is obviously built for strength. His dark hair is wavy and tousled, and by the looks of his eyes, he hasn't slept in a long while. He is looking at the Storms, knowing that he probably sounds crazy, but that right now he didn't care.
He obviously has no clue as to what he's up against.
Nonam Thursday May 15th, 2003 9:37:29 AM
Nonam takes Jus and Addinein aside and asks, "Do either of you know a sleep spell? I never bothered, but it could give him some needed rest and prevent him from following us to the dragon. I could cast hold person, but it would be frightening, and it only lasts a few minutes.
Tericus d20+16=25 Thursday May 15th, 2003 10:24:46 AM
Tericus floats above the campsite and keeps a lookout for any dragons that might be flying at them(spot check of 25)
Jus Thursday May 15th, 2003 1:48:30 PM
'Good catch,' Jus thinks to himself at Clangden's announcement. It wouldn't have done to have Derak needlessly fight them.
Jus shakes his head to Nonam's query, unable to provide the Sleep that Derak obviously could use.
Jus kneels at the fire across from Derak, enjoying the warmth provided. As he scrapes cakes of mud off his boots, Jus speaks. "A Black Dragon is an abomination in itself; what it is doing to your village makes it more so."
Looking around at the others, Jus cautiously continues, trying to gauge the mind of Derak. "This black is something we'd like to see removed, too."
Clangden Thursday May 15th, 2003 3:28:50 PM
approaching the campsite, Clangden starts stripping off armor and clothing. changing the soiled ones with clean stuff out of his pack and tossing the dirty ones to the side. then, sitting on the ground near Derak he starts oiling his armor and sharpening his axe and then says, without looking up: Derak, what you face is a Dragon, Black as night and terrible beyond all measure. Or so Lathiese told us. Even us <waving to all the Storms> have to prepare ourselves physically, spiritually, and magically before we can even think of taking on yet defeating it. yet you think you are going to be able to do something to this dragon by yourself? if you truly wish to avenge your wife, if you truly wish it be removed from this land, then help us to defeat it. help us by giving us information about this creature. they said back at the village that you are the most knowledgeable one next to Lathiese, you have seen this creature, you might know a weakness that we have not seen. what are its habits. any information you can give us, no matter how insubstantial might prove to be its downfall.
now, back to you. and I don't say this out of disrespect Derak, I mourn for your loss and those already taken by this beast but, what would your wife say to you right now if she saw what you were going to do? I know exactly what she would do. she'd hit you with a rolling pin and tell you to stop playing the fool. well, let me tell you. we will kill the beast, we will avenge your village, but we cant do that and worry about where you are at the same time. against this beast we have to keep our wits about us at all times, we know how each of us are going to react to the danger but we cant be doing our job and watching over you at the same time so I am pleading with you to stay here. stay here til you hear one of us call for you. we will let you come skin the creature, we will let you come rip its heart out of its chest so that you might avenge your wife's death. but please, stay here until it is done.
Gareth Thursday May 15th, 2003 11:39:31 PM
The warrior lets the others deal with the broken man. He instead focuses on the job at hand. "How far is it to this thing? Are we near?".
Addinein Friday May 16th, 2003 4:32:55 AM
Addinein shakes his head negative when he's asked about a sleep spell. "Maybe we can get him to eat a large meal, in order to make him fall asleep."
As Clangden tells his story, Addinein comes up beside him to listen and to show that he's friendly.
DM Jan Friday May 16th, 2003 2:45:13 PM
Nonam, Jus and Addinein have a quiet conversation about casting Sleep on the villager and come up with zip. Clangden tries another tack, one of persuasion.
The man looks a little confused at some of the things Clangden is talking about and says so.
"I thought..." he sighs before continuing. "I thought magic belonged in childrens stories, and yet you talk of it as though it is real, and right now," he looks up to where Tericus is floating, on guard, "I see a man that flies."
"My wife - she believed in magic, too. Even though none of us ever saw it. She even told me - aah, I had to burn what she had written, for fear that everyone else would think her crazy. You mentioned our wise man, Lathiese - so I presume you have met him. My wife - she believed he WAS the dragon. A ridiculous notion, only right now I'm not so sure any more. It's funny how she died right after she told me some things. I don't know what to think any more."
"I don't know what I can tell you that will help either. It flies - fast. It has jaws that can pick up a man and crush him, It spews out acid all over our crops. It looks old, rotten. My wife told me it could talk, she'd heard it, she said. But if it can do that, AND - if she's right about Lathiese. That means it can change shape, too?"
More, he doesn't seem to know, which suggests that the dragon has not had the need or the wish to display its prowess further.
"Please - tell me who you are?" he asks. "Where did you come from? Can you do enough of this magic to destroy it? You have no idea of the debt we would owe you for this, and I would feel like a coward if I didn't not come with you."
As the questions and answers flow back and forth, he answers Gareth's by leading everyone away from the campfire for about a hundred feet.
"Careful, be mindful of the edge," he says, pointing down a large chasm in the ground that looks about another 100 feet wide. "It's down there. I saw it come back, and I'm sure it saw me. It flew back from the north. Where it had been I don't know."
Just then - the groups dragon rings are activated. It's the Overlord. She sounds nervous and on edge. She has read the letter Nonam wrote, and has been told of a sighting - early to mid morning - made by one of the turtlemen in the lake - of a large black dragon to the south who circled for a while and then flew further south and disappeared.
Tericus has a good view of the large hole in the ground. A dark blot on terrain sinking into further shadow of nightfall. It looks like it goes straight down into an even deeper darkness. The group will notice that Derak has a very long coil of rope with him.
"Only a rough estimate," says Derak, "but I reckon that hole is about 150ft deep."
Clangden Friday May 16th, 2003 4:16:37 PM
listening to Derak with calm emotion, he nods his head a few times during his tale.
patting Derak on his shoulder Clangden says: my good good fellow, yes, Magic does exsist. and our wife was right, Dragons do speak and change form. not all Dragons in this world are bad, but some are, and this one is. and if this Dragon is Lathiese, then so be it. by this time tomorrow he will feel the sting of my axe, and the power of Nonam the wizard and everyone else here shall reap their brand of justice upon that vile creature.
you speak of a debt. no debt is owed to us for ridding the world of evil. we seek out evil to destroy it. we ask no reward for doing so. it is the path we chose to take and do so willingly.
as for you Derak. go back to the village, tell them we are here and the evil will be met with justice. tell them to ready themselves for a victory party when we return for I will be carrying his head on a pole for all to see. tell them that the Storm has come to the Dragon and it pours on it this day.
with that said, Clangden dons his armor, orders his shield to protect, and then asks the casters. so, what spells do you have to protect us from a Black Dragon? acid protection, stoneskin, do you have plenty of Haste's memorized, how about an expeditious retreat, cast on me during combat, so that I might engage the creature faster?
turning to Gareth he says: this time Gareth, let us make a plan of attack before heading down in to the hole of doom. let us formulate a strategy that will serve us well this time.
Jus d20+18=29 d20+18=31 Friday May 16th, 2003 7:16:27 PM
"Remember," Jus says to the group, "a dragon can hear practically all said in their domain. Let us be careful with our words."
'and speak our true plans only through the thoughts projected through our rings,' Jus adds through his Dragon Ring to his friends.
Jus turns to the hole, listening, searching for any signs of life. [Listen: 29; Spot: 31]
Kneeling down with a stick to idly draw nonsense in the dirt, Jus continues through the ring 'I would loath to have Derak venture back to his village and be picked up by this dragon. I have a Dimension Door I could combine with fly to get him a good distance away, but I only have one Door memorized.'
Out loud, he says, "Since the dragon almost certainly knows we are here, is there any reason to pussyfoot around and not head straight in?"
Again, through the ring, Jus continues his private words, 'For some reason, I suspect that this dragon is looking for feeding grounds up north. We'd better take care of him soon. Oh, and if that silver shows up again, is there anyway you, Tericus, could heal her?'
Jus shakes his head at his last question. The idea of a dragon not being able to heal itself is daunting. Perhaps the black continues to keep the silver at bay and injured.
Gareth Friday May 16th, 2003 7:57:48 PM
The warrior shrugs and thinks into the ring. "No need to try and deceive it, we do not have the element of suprise. Perhaps we can get it to come out? If not then I suppose we need to magic up and just do it the old fashioned way. I'll ask Max if he feels anything from it.". The warrior communes with his sword and asks it to probe for the dragon - to see if he can tell him anything about the dragon and what is doing or expecting.
Addinein Monday May 19th, 2003 1:58:59 AM
Speaking into the ring to the other Dragons, "Should we try to get Derak back first? Do we know that the Black is not out and about? Because we may want to keep Derak with us to even witness what we do to take that back to the villagers? Because we still need to get through to the rest of the world in order to figure out whether the Float is in reference to everything else. Will we have time to go back to the villagers and let them know that the Black is taken care of?"
Tericus Monday May 19th, 2003 11:00:07 AM
(OOC- can i use Prot. from elements spell to protect from acid? the spell stated an energy attack, but is acid a type of energy?)
"I dont think I have much that can protect us from acid," Tericus says, "But I can certainly heal any damage it inflicts upon us."
Nonam Monday May 19th, 2003 11:33:55 AM
[acid is one of the energy types, at least in D&D]
Nonam uses his permanent detect magic to check out this Derak. What if he's the dragon? That would be bad.
Nonam thinks about Lathiesse being the dragon, "It's possible. I suspected him of being a dragon myself, but I'm not sure about him being the black. Certain things don't fit that scenario, like why didn't it just attack us last night when we were sleeping and separated? On the other hand, he speaks draconic, and he also clearly knows magic since he identified the spell I cast at dinner yesterday. But if that's all it took, then I could be a dragon. If it is Lathiesse though, then the dragon was most interested in Floating City."
Nonam offers, "I have one potion of protection from acid, and I can cast the spell 3 times. That gets 4 of us. If Tericus can get the other 2...." Nonam gives the potion to Gareth with a warning not to drink it too soon. Then before just heading down the shaft, he casts protection from elements (acid) on himself, Clangden, and Jus.
DM Jan Monday May 19th, 2003 5:08:22 PM
((Sam, yes what JK said on the Prot. from Elements spell))
As the Storms converse through their rings, Derak seems puzzled as to what to do for the best. Finally he says -
"I will stay here, at the mouth of the Maw. You talk of things I cannot begin to comprehend. Clearly there is much our village needs to learn. I realise now I may upset whatever plan you might have. "But I will not go back just yet. If you fail - better he takes his vengeance out on me, than the entire village. I will wait, and keep vigil."
Stepping closer to the chasm, he adds - "This rock is porous. Water has carved many tunnels that run toward those mountains. There could be other holes such as these, or smaller. But this one belongs to the dragon."
Jus's inspection over the edge will have revealed the sound of water dripping, and to his eyes, it appears the rugged walls of the hole go straight down. 150ft Derak said.
Nonam's examination of Derak reveals no magic. He seems to be a fairly ordinary kind of chap.
Inside Gareth's head, Max is getting restless - a bundle of excitement and nerves, to the point where the hair on the back of Gareth's neck is starting to bristle.
Kill it, before it takes me. It wants me now. I can feel it down there in the dark. It wants magic. I have no wish to be alone. Kill it. Kill it now!
So - Are the Storm Dragons ready to descend into the dragon's lair - possibly to their deaths?
Just then - it starts to rain - heavily, and perhaps Addinein and Clangden will remember what happens in tunnels underground, when it starts to rain.
There isn't much time.
Gareth (Displaced 50%, Fly) Monday May 19th, 2003 10:41:48 PM
The warrior nods and acknowledges the courage of the broken man. He also calms his sword. "Don't worry, my friend. The dragon will not take you so easily. I assume it knows we're here?". Into his ring he thinks. "I suppose we better get going. I'm sure it is waiting for us. Suggestions?". Gareth checks his gear. He makes sure he's wearing his ring of thr drow and his Dragon Ring. He activates his boots of flying, makes sure his potions are readily accessible (healing and acid protection). If noone offers any additional counsel he draws Max and leads the way down.
Clangden Tuesday May 20th, 2003 1:27:17 AM
yes, I have suggestions. before we head down to the lair, we need to prep up. I suggest some acid resistance spells be cast on us all, I'd also think some Displacement and or Blur's be passed around. Stoneskins and Hastes be ready for when combat begins. From tericus, I think Ward Death is in order to keep this beast from killing us with a single word or spell. a magic resistance spell would be nice as well.
When battle begins, Myself, Gareth abd Addenein, we attack the head or front of the beast. Jus, you take the right flank and Nonam, you have his left. Tericus, you're the roamer but stay behind us. Your healing abilities will be in high demand, not to mention your cures and other spells of protection. Oh yes, I think protection from evil is in order for this as well. and, perhaps fly's or Levitates for the climb down.
<looking at everyone intently>
when combat begins, I will stop if the creature is dead, we are dead, or Tericus calls a retreat. and, if retreat is called, I will be the last out.
<looking at Gareth>
and that is not up for debate.
one last thing. Tericus, <drops to one knee, head bowed> please lead us in a blessing.
Nonam Tuesday May 20th, 2003 11:49:18 AM
Nonam stares at the dwarf for a second and offers, "I think Clangden should study magic. I've already cast the protection from acid on you dwarf and the endurance. I have two stoneskins, one for you and Gareth. You might as well have them now because they'll last the same amount of time as the protection from acid spells." Nonam casts stoneskin on Gareth and Clangden.
"As for displacement, blurs, and hastes, you're on your own. I don't keep them in my repitoire. There's not a whole lot that I can do about not having them right now. We'd better get going. I understand that Black dragons can breathe underwater, and time is ticking on how long those spells will last. We're all flying though and can move pretty fast."
[hey, did Tericus cast windwalk or airwalk?]
Tericus Tuesday May 20th, 2003 12:15:07 PM
nodding to Clangden, Tericus first casts some spells before he begins his prayer. he casts Prot from Elem. on himself and Jus(absorbes 168 pts of acid damage), Shield Other of Gareth(i take half the damage he takes), Freedom of movement on Clangden, Greater Magic Weapon on his mace(+4 weapon), and he also casts Circle of Protection from Evil centered on his mace(anyone within 10 ft of the maces effected by a prot of evil spell). Then Tericus bows his head and says "Oh great Alemi, protect your childern as they go forth to battle evil in your name!"(casts bless on the party. then Tericus says "The blessing wont last long(15 minuets). We need to get going."
Addinein (cat's grace +4 Endurance +2) d4+1=4 d4+1=2 Tuesday May 20th, 2003 12:42:11 PM
"I can help out with Cat's grace and Endurance."
Addinein casts Cat's Grace and Endurance on himself. He then offers to cast Endurance on Gareth, and Clangden, and cat's grace on Jus.
Clangden (Freedome of Movement, Windwalk, Protection from Elements: Acid, Stoneskin, Protection from Evil, Bless) ac34 hp270 Tuesday May 20th, 2003 1:44:08 PM
No thank you Addenein, Endurance will have no effect on me.
And yes, Nonam, I have studied Magic already. I have travelled with quite a few wizards in my time and pretty much know of the spells I have mentioned.
When this is done, we all need to sit down and get strategies about spell lists, weapons and such. Next battle I want us to be a bit more prepared, in addition, I suggest any monies got from this endeavor first hand go to the spellcasters to buy wands of the special stuff us Warriors like the most, that frees up their slots for more potent spells.
after the blessing, Clangden stands up, flexes his muscles, then, looking to the others, nods, and steps in to the hole.

Jus accepts Addenien's Cat's Grace (+2), and offers a Bull's Strength to anyone that may need it.
Jus then casts Endurance on himself (+3), followed by Greater Magic Weapon (+3) on his bow and then again on his Finlin Arrows and 38 others, and finally Stoneskin.
Through his ring, he relays, "I have a couple of other short-time spells, but they'll need to wait until we find this beast. I don't have a rope, but could use Feather Fall, or have Gareth relay me down. I'd prefer the second."
Checking his gear, Jus hesitates as he places his hand on his sword's pommel. "Addenein, I don't know what weapon you'd lay against this beast, but I'll loan you my Sun Blade if you'd like."
