@Rune_Alchemist Well I didn't want it to attack the cart with two people inside of it. I figured, you know, as I was just about to hit it, and going with superhuman speed and strength, it couldn't suddenly whip a 180 and grab two separate swords mid-air. It seemed very unlikely with its size. But, you know, magic birds and shit. F.O.E. I'm surprised you just didn't have the bird snap his swords and kill him at that rate.
Anyways I was just trying to play the character, not scared of much, charges head first. He hasn't fought anything so powerful. Why would he expect it? Not like he plays videogames. If you guys really want me to play cautiously like its life or death then I can (shrugs).
I'll get a reply up, although I don't see how even injuring the thing is possible at this point.
Well, look at it like this - sometimes, charging in head first could definitely work in your favor. Sometimes, it's going to royally fuck you over like it almost did here.
You played the character very well, and if that's what he would do and I can't tell you to play the character differently. Just realize that depending on the situation, different actions are going to have different results. Besides, this might be good character development for Tetras and realizing that perhaps not everything can be solved by rushing in head first.
But anyways, yeah. Play your character how you'd want to play him. I'm not going to be killing a character without reason, they admittedly, probably
do have some level of shall we say 'plot armor'. It depends really. The more stupid things they do, the higher the chances are they'd get injured.
And well, that's why the things threat level is rated 'high' compared to the characters skill levels. Its probably the second most dangerous creature that lives in the forest.
