I get him into a pattern of jumping around and dodging, so he loses track of his partner, then ZAPS!

And hit the bitch square in the jiggle bits.

tazer tits 2 electric jiggaloo.

Rynh, I'd like to talk to you about some psychological issues that you seem to have.

I think your readily apparent... aggression toward the mammaries of others is indicative of a deep-seated jealousy relating to the difference in size of your bust in comparison to others. How do you feel about this?

>>388707
Good, now BURNINATE while she's still stunned.

>>388713
I'd also like to add that jealousy is unwarranted, since you seem to be using magic to grow your breasts. Also, they're just tits. Seriously. Calm down, a great ass will more than make up for that.

Inflict FURTHER HARM on TAZERTITS, then back off at risk of SORD DUDE making a comeback.

If he is distracted by the scream/smell/etc use that opening to attack him.

>>388771
Agreed. If devil bandit's distracted by this, take advantage. If a kill isn't possible, go for anyplace on his sword arm that is, or a leg if that's out of the question.

Or hell, stab him in the ass. Its not just for sitting and S*itting, after all.

>Hit him while he's distracted
And that's two down. Maybe I should take them in alive. I might get a bonus, since the authorities will be able to make examples of 'em when they string them up or whatever.
I am helping the community.

>>388866
If you want to try that, be very sure that they are both unconscious and bound during transport. All of transport. They're dangerous enough that you should take no chances on them escaping.

>>388866
Tie them together in a compromising fashion. As a fanservice to the community.

LOOT EM! Let's see what they have on them. Nothing better then some ironic justice when you rob the robbers.

>>388883
I AGREE!

Keep in mind one of them can use magic- that could cause trouble when attempting to bring them in alive.

>>388891

They might pose less of a risk if you loot them...you know, magic boosting items and all that...just saying.

...ok, I admit I just wanna see what kind of cool swag these two have, poetic justice and weakening them is just a side benefit.

Make sure they're out, bind 'em up, then strip 'em for loot.

If you do bring them in, be ready to knock them out again at a moment's notice if they wake up, especially the hobgoblin. Is there any way you can keep her from doing magic if she wakes up? I doubt just tying her up will be enough.

Take some time to search for your scarf, if it hasn't flapped its way to the next country by now. See if you can make up with it. A healing artifact like that is worth a little accessorized melodrama now and then.

>>388866
Wrap the cloak around their heads.

The demon-blood seems like enough of a mook that you can bind him up and take him to authorities safely. That hobgoblin though is pretty knowledgable, quick to think and act, and apparently good with some kind of magic - basically dangerous in almost every way. Either find someway to completely keep her from doing ANYTHING or kill her.

>>388866

Bind them up real tight, like a proper roast (heh), and loot a few things. The valuable stuff, at least. Then we'll bring them back for a reward or some such!

Not worth it. Too much could go wrong. Just off em and maybe bring in their heads? How do you prove a kill? Do whatever you normally do to get full credit for a kill.

at least cut the demon dude's horns off.

demon horns should be pretty magical thing for potions and shit.

The fact that they were going to murder you for walking down the road should probably be at the forefront of you mind when deciding how to deal with them.

>>388866
Loot them and DO NOT feel up that caster.

>LOOT EM! Nothing better then some ironic justice when you rob the robbers.
Yes. Robbing robbers teaches them how they are harming others, so if they only get sentenced to hard labor instead of hanged, they can become contributing members of society, like me.

Let's see. Some coins, knives, lockpicks, a few gems. Nothing really valuable, but it's not the value, it's the small joy of taking something that doesn't belong to you.

>Tie them up tight
Of course. I'm not letting some cutthroats loose while I root through their stuff. Keep the magic bitch from magicking and it's fine.

>>389146
Do demon body parts have any magical use? Even if they don't cut off his horns and wear them to emasculate and humiliate him. And just kill jiggletits, she's a mage, she could be trouble.

There's something about stealing that makes me kind of happy. Their stuff is now my stuff because I took it.

Oh damn it.

>>389148
oh please it's just an arrow you baby, rip it out and throw it back

Behind you, slightly to your right, in the grass. Firebreath at him. Even if it misses, it'll make him run through a grassfire.

>>389148
Throw a fireball at the archer.
"I caught 'em! They're MY bounty!"

>>389150
Do *NOT* take that arrow out yet! If it isn't an arrow piercing straight one (very unlikely), you'll be both making more damage and bleeding out. Wait until you can get that thing out with help. Until then, since your ambusher is more than likely to duck into the tall grass for concealment, throw an area of effect spell to counter. Fire ball is best, slightly behind the target, so it forces the target to go towards you instead of away. Close the range, and if you've got the time and the magic, something like a wind spell to blow down the grass as well as disrupting future shots.

If a road is busy enough to have this many bandits on it, you'd think there would be more patrols and guards on it.

I know, right? What kind of world are we living in where a mercenary can't even kill bandits without being ambushed by bandits on the side of the road? I'm going to complain to the local magistrate.

>Do *NOT* take that arrow out yet!

Okay. That would probably hurt anyway. I think I'll just take the rest of the day off and seek immediate medical attention.


God damn it, flappy magic scarf...

turn into a slime so the arrow falls out then change back.

Your new goal is now to rape those three to death by carving them new orifices and violating then using a number of knives.


Turning into a slime sounds good, then turn into a cheetah, run at them, and breathe fire at them.

Erm shit... don't suppose you'd be in better shape if you turned dragon?

Throw magic shit at them while they run away.

>>389170
Did they steal your shit?
Well, they hit you in the rightLEFT shoulder and the small of your back. You need to get the fuck up before you bleed to death.

>>389170
Savor the irony that the bandits did not rob you like you did to them.

>>389178
She won't bleed much until the arrow is taken out. The arrow acts as a plug.

Also, does shapeshifting heal you? As in, if you're wounded, shift into said slime, and go back to Rynh, do you become wounded Rynh or intact Rynh?

>>389170
Slime idea sounds pretty inspired, try it.

Also, note to yourself that learning how to cast some kind of magical arrow-deflecting ward on yourself would be a great idea. If such things exist.

If they didn't take your stuff, get some medical attention then HUNT THEM DOWN AND MAKE THEM WISH THEY DID.

Also find your flappy scarf. Not often you get something with that level of healing.

Hyper beam them. Focus all of your magic into a small cone/beam and let it loose on them. Like you did with that floaty skull thing but all the magic this time.

>>389228
oh yeah, hit them from here and anyone left would be scared as fuck.

Oh damn...they didn't swipe your money pouch did they? You have a lot of coin as I recall...

I just head for home. I don't feel much like chasing anyone right now. I meet Ilan coming through the door. He's an archer. I really want to see more archers right now.

>>390022
Make yourself feel better. Sexually molest Jehral.

being able to take down 2 out of 3 good foes is really good. you only lost because of a sneak attack. keep a healing potion with you next time and you can just keep back up after an arrow.

>>390024
Agreed.

>>390024
We already gave up on him.

Thank the archer dude for the compliment. Ask if he's got any tips for evading arrow fire.

>>390022
Break his tiny elven bones like twigs. Then thank him for the compliment. Then go torment Jehral.

>>390022
Punch Ilan in the reproductive system. That was like, the worst way to pull an arrow out.

>>390067
indeed

>>390022
>identify the type of arrow used
>know that said arrow has a huge, nasty barb
>yank it out, causing a huge wound
Punch him in the face and/or balls, then get somebody who's less of an asshole to treat the wound and dig out the other arrow.

Bemoan your lost scarf. The arrow would totally have not gotten through that thing. It was sheer awesome.

BALL PAUNCH.

Then, medical attention.

Yeah get a bit of medical attention. Also put up a poster offering a finders reward for anyone who brings back your annoying yet useful scarf. Maybe you can get it back.

Also maybe you could come up with a magical anti-arrow defense. Would be handy for the future. If Ilan shoots at a target while you stand next to it you could try to put up a wind shield. See if it works and all.

punch Iian in the dick. he should know better than to do that. If he grabs for the other arrow then slap him silly.

After you get some competent medical care, consider investing in some heavier armor. You're strong like tank, you can wear some better protection without it slowing you down much.

Fuckin' kidney punch! Bastard. That really hurts!
At least I think that might be his kidney. I can't tell.

>>390133
You are riding him like he's a wild animal.

Growl in his ear that he shouldn't yank out arrows without permission.

>>390133
Yeah, centaurs are like some horrible mishmash of anatomy.

ANYWAY: Get the arrow wounds in your back checked out. Getting that BARBED arrow YANKED OUT couldn't have been very good for you. Then you can... I dunno... what's on the agenda?

"Don't just pull things out of somebody's body without asking or giving any warning, idiot."

Command him to take you to the med center. Ride that .... thing.

Consider upgrading your armor to withstand arrows. That or a magical ward of some kind. Cast by you, on some amulet or something, or on the armor.

>>390133
Ride him to the medics as punishment for yanking the arrow.

"Next time, don't pull it out until I say so." Suggestive/evil grin, then another kidney(?) punch.

Then get some damn healing. Seriously, you've been wounded for a while now.

>>390133
His lower body's like a pony or something. I thought centaurs were bigger than that. Either way, its time to get that other arrow removed proper-like. To the Doktor!

Maybe he's a millitaur.

>>390148
This is rather amusing. I support it.

>>390159
Now that you've succeeded in breaking him in, see if he'll give you a ride back to town so you can get your wounds treated.

I just go get some medical attention. Getting arrows out of your shoulder is a relief, but sucks at the same time. At least it's out.

Healing mages or regular healers don't have numbing spells, potions or salves?
Lame.

>>391712
Go learn some anti-getting-shot-at magic. :|

You know, like some kind of magical wards that nudge arrows just enough to the side so that they don't hurt you?

Might also be good for swordfights, if it didn't drain you too much.

>>391838
Alternatively, if you can absorb kinetic energy, it'd stop all projectiles and swords, etc. and also give you energy.

or just dragon up and wear some stouter armor. Even a good suit of chain would be proof against all but the craziest arrows.

>>391855
You're joking, right? Chainmail is a series of loosely connected holes to an arrow. It won't do much. Chain's for dissipating force- slashes and blunt weapon. Piercing attacks- like arrows- go through chainmail easy. You'd want a shield to absorb the arrows.

>>391863
Or, if you can stand the heat, an overcoat of felt. If the hair base(wool) is long long enough, less than half a centimeter gives pretty good protection already.

Oh, and another (possibly self-contradictory) note- chainmail could possibly deflect an arrow if it came at an angle and had the right type of arrowhead. You'd still get bruised/cut, but you wouldn't have an actual arrow in you.


It's not reliable, as it relies on you being lucky/being able to out-move a projectile going at LEAST 150 feet a second or so. Don't get chainmail *just* to try and protect from arrows, but if you ever find yourself facing an archer with only some chainmail as protection, it's handy.

Or just think like a Mongolian and wear a silk vest underneath. The arrows can't really get through the silk you see. They can still end up embedded in you, but they're a lot easier to take out.

>>391956
Yeah, you tease the silk apart to get the arrow out. Also, 18 to 30 layers of tightly stitched silk can stop an arrow. It all depends on the tensile strength of the fabric and density of the stitches. How much does silk cost proportional to your income? Not fancy dyed silk, raw silk will do fine.

>>391863

nope, good chain will even stop bodkins.

Anyway you'd think you can afford a nice plate curiass now, right?

tl;dr: lolno.

>> 391980

Your video is laughable. Any decent chain was pounded into flat rings, then riveted. (with every other ring being solid). A reasonable test would put the hauberk over a clay or gel torso, over significant padding
and in-depth discussion from some of the foremost authorities out there
http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=15454

Are we getting sidetracked or what? Rynh, go get yourself a plate curiass. Jeezus.

Harden the fuck up and grow some dragonskin / scales / or bone plates.

>>392151
Yeah, this is getting kinda ridiculous. Let's just say that growing scales of some kind would be the best option- less weight and it wouldn't have to be maintained, followed by magic- weightless, hopefully, but would take energy, followed by chainmail- heavy if it's any good, and since anyone can make an account on a forum, I'm not taking their word that it'll stop an arrow.

>>392151

Using materials from a time-period most analogous to theirs, NO. Chain and even full-plate would not likely stop a well placed arrow and certainly could NOT stop a crossbow bolt.

They were much too thin and weak due to poor smithing techniques and frequent use of iron or poor quality steel.

>>392637

>> growing scales of some kind would be the best option

Yeah and after a long day of adventuring you go to take off your armor and kick back in a fireside lodge. UH OH

There's a reason scale growth is a popular curse.

The best option is clearly to cultivate her speed and dexterity, which along with a magically enhanced "danger-sense" would allow her to avoid catching any further arrows in the future.

>>392678

I agree. We know how to fight with a weapon and magic, now it is time to learn how to fight without getting beaten up as much.

>>392678
Or maybe even catch the arrows and then throw them back at the enemy archer.

>>392678
Hm. If we can use magic to enhance our reflexes, archers can use magic to do similar things. Homing arrows, supersonic arrows, etc. Sounds ineffective once we run up against another magic-user.

>>392674
I don't see a problem with this, given that we're not just one xenophobic species like we were in those times. I doubt scales will make everyone flee in terror.

Magic in this setting does not work that way you faggots.

She needs two things:

Armor, possibly leather or chainmail so it won't restrict her movements too much.

Blind fighting training to get her senses hightened up.

>>392674
With shapeshifitng, scales are actually easier to remove than armor. (Which also serves as a combat advantage, in case you have a sudden need to more more quickly.)

Isn't dragon hide pretty good against being shot? We can currently turn into one of those, though finding a spell that gives us protection while still having hands would be nice.

ASK MISTER MAGIK MAN WHAT MAGIC CAN DO DEFENSIVELY. HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN YOU, SINCE HE IS MISTER MAGIK MAN.

Hey, hey, how about using magic to magically become KING OF THE ARROWS.

They would dare not harm their king!

More seriously, I do like the awareness training idea (such wonderful montage material). You're doing good on the kicking ass side of things but people seem to be getting the drop on you an awful lot.

HERE'S AN IDEA!

AIR MAGIC!

REDIRECT PROJECTS WITH A SHARP BREEZE!

FUCK!

Buy some chainmail anyway. Even if it won't stop the special armor-piercing arrows, it'll make them hurt less, and stop the other kinds. Also swords.

Make sure you get a kind with really small rings and/or cloth on top so it's easier to draw.

>>392990
It sounds like a good idea, but then everything those damn Oglaf dwarfs suggest does at first. It probably has limitations such as energy used, but it sounds like a good measure. Research a bit and ask about scales vs. air shield.
