[QUOTE="GuyBoy, post: 8372773, member: 7031143"] Love the mechanic for creating magic items in this S&S manner. Evocative and carrying elements of Nietzsche (without the bad bits!) [I]Rain and gale surrounded the desperate combatants on the high pass, ever threatening to hurl them to a rocky fate hundreds of feet below. Astam was in deep trouble; the bronze leaf-blade sword he had purchased in the caravanserai had proven flawed, snapping against the minotaur’s great axe, and now the horned warrior, Goruust, had driven Astam back against the rocky face, inflicting a mighty wound on the man’s thigh in the process. Thrice the bullish warrior smote it’s axe towards Astam’s neck, and thrice Astam blocked desperately with his figure-8 shield, the greataxe cutting through the stiffened hide of the shield in the process and also breaking Astam’s arm in the process. He was going to die on this foresaken peak. In one last, hopeless gamble, the weakening warrior leapt at the bellowing Minotaur, smashing the broken shield into its face, just as it raised its axe for the final blow. And caught Goruust unbalanced...hooves skidded on wet stones, Astam surged once more, and the minotaur bellowed again, this time in terror, as it toppled from the path, pitching and crashing against unforgiving rock as it tumbled to the valley floor, far below and out of sight in the darkness and rain. Astam lay exhausted for a moment, then pulled himself to his feet. In pain, bleeding, he knew he had to get off this mountain and to the nearest village. He picked up his shield, rent by three mighty axe blows, but still structurally sound he thought, also noticing one of Goruust’s teeth embedded in the hardened leather. “You, my friend,” he whispered to himself, “ you saved my life. The least I can do is get you mended.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
