Goblin Slayer: Newblood (CANCELLED)

Big Red watched the two girls interact after Little Puff picked up something from the remains of the slime. A ring, a surprisingly clean one. Then again slimes were essentially sacks of stomach acid. But Druid Girl kept worrying about him making him sigh with slight annoyance. "I'm a hard being, this isn't the first time I've encountered a slime and been munched on by them. Probably won't be the last, although that one was tougher than normal." He rumbled out before gesturing for them to move on.

Little Puff mentioned scouting, she was small and nimble. Probably speedier than anything in this sewer and voices could carry easily. The sewage wasn't exactly rushing along to make a thundering sound like a river. "That's fine, we'll try another tunnel branch. But we'll also report about the slime when we get back. So no one else gets surprised in the future." He continued, not every rookie adventure could handle a slime after all.

His eyes went to their Archer companion. "Watch the ceiling as well, slimes are capable of ambushes." He finished before ushering them along so they can continue with their job.

Kharne let Ismael take the lead this time and just meandered behind him. Possibly the laziest the human had ever seen the giant reptilian man. Almost as if he felt nothing nearby was a threat, or a threat so small it didn't warrant him being wary. A commotion drew the now equipped human, which got an inward sigh from him. Curiosity was not always something one should give into after all. Still it paid off...kind of. There was the rest of their party, except Little Red looked to be trying to kill a drunken crying shopkeeper, Annya was not looking pleased, and Raven looked pissed.

Words were exchanged and Raven tromped off, giving him a hi/bye kind of look. "Be mindful of your surroundings." He rumbled to her as she went past him. He was no ladies man, but even he understood 'I need space/time to cool off, lemme alone'. So he let her be, although he wished he had a smaller blade he could have handed off to her. He didn't smell any weaponry on her, but women tended to be crafty. More people began to crowd while Annya addressed a dwarf, the giants eyebrow began to twitch. He had charges to watch and this crowd wasn't helping right now.

"Alright you lot, get going the show is over!" He stated, his voice booming over the crowd and he started to move people away. He could have launched them, but instead he ushered them away forcefully. Well forcefully to them, to him it was like pushing children along. With his attention partially moved he addressed Ismael. "We'll be returning to the inn for now, the girls can regroup themselves. But I want to get you used to that armor. So...your exercises get to begin when we return." Kharne said with a rather large and toothy grin. Said teeth gleamed in the lamp lights, startlingly white and looked like if he bit someone they would die of shock.

With that the giant picked Ismael up like a sack of potatoes, up onto his shoulder, and off he went. That stride carrying the pair unsurprisingly fast. Although him weaving through the people lining the streets with animal grace helped propel them along.

Kharne simply watched Ismael wander about the shop gathering things with a purpose. The experienced reptilian eyes lingered on each piece the man grabbed before nodding his approval. Protect the vitals with heavy armor, but keep a higher mobility for the limbs. Personally the behemoth would have put chain over the leather but he didn't know how much the younger man could carry around. That was part of the reason why he had his own custom armor, it could be called partial plate because it left the front of his torso completely open while the back had sliding plates to allow for flight.

When Ismael was fully suited up, with a targe surprisingly, he paid for the gear. "You're going to want to work your arms a bit. Holding a shield and sword can be tiring to those not used to their weight." The giant rumbled. Well his minion was kitted out and it was too late in the day to work the smaller man. Well now it was time to introduce him to local food and drink, which meant going to a pub. Kharne would probably be the only one of the entire group not drinking alcohol.

"Alright, now that you're wearing protection we can relax somewhat. I recognized the place the ladies are at and it's near a nicer place than where I'd normally go." He stated before leading the way. Again he weaved through what people were around very easily. His pace steady to keep Ismael in view and to let the shorter man keep up. A third time it didn't take him long to get from point A to point B, almost like he memorized the streets of the town when last he had been here.

Kharne took a second to marvel at the device, he had never used one before. His own lungs tended to carry his messages quite clearly a good distance. "Fine, fine Annya. We'll be heading to the armorer next," He stated before clicking the end button. His gaze went to Ismael when the man laughed which got a quirked brow. "Spinning in a real fight is a death sentence to those who are fast enough. Weapons or fists and kicks, by the time you turn around fully my blade is in your spine." He stated before picking up a longsword and shifting into a more open section of the shop.

"You don't need spin to use a sword, you use the blades weight and edge to do the work." The giant said, giving a basic downward slash. It looked more like he flicked his wrists than a full arm swing like Ismael had probably seen in the movies. A horizontal slash came next and used more motion, a more sweeping motion from the arms while slightly turning at the waist. The blade stopped dead at the end of the swing before it reversed direction just to stop once more.

The blade was returned to the rack before Kharne plonked the Amas for the sword in Ismael's hands on the counter, along with some coins for a sheathe and belt. "If you need to spin to hit harder with your fists or feet you need to build up your strength. Never show your back to the enemy, never take your eyes off the enemy. Not even for a second." The dragonborn continued. Words of wisdom from someone who had been young and dumb and nearly died doing such stupid things. "If you need to learn another method to hit harder I'll teach it to you, assuming you don't already know it and just don't implement it." He man drawled before waving for Ismael to follow. Onwards to the armorer!

It would be impossible to lose Kharne as he led the way. The next shop was nearby and had the same smell, metal, leather, and burning wood and coal. Inside was different, racks of armor of varying materials and styles. A gesture from Kharne came. "Pick your gear." A simple sentence but ones armor could keep you alive or kill you.

Kharne watched Ismael finagle with the longsword. The boy had a good grip. "Another thing to consider with blades, is edge alignment. If your alignment is shoddy the damage will be like getting slapped. Not cut. But we'll work on that." He stated before glancing about the shop. "You might also want to consider a small shield, blocking with a sword is a good way to break it or chip its edge." He continued, a bit hypocritical. But then again his blade was absolutely monstrous and clearly not made of steel.

After a moment of thought he looked down at Ismael and gave a rather authoritative glare. "And for the love of all things combat oriented...do.not.spin. Your back never faces the enemy. I will stab you myself if I see you twirl like a damned dancer." He growled, clearly he had seen it happen enough that he would scare and threaten the human out of doing such a stupid thing. With those words done he tapped the bracelet Annya gave him. "Since I'm at the blacksmith already, should I grab your charges some weapons? If so let me know what they can use." Kharne said into the device.

It wasn't a device that was commonly used by him or his crews, but it wasn't entirely foreign to him. There were only so many buttons after all!

Kharne watched Ismael play around with weapons that didn't suit his size or build for a moment after a comment about a gun before he went to the blacksmith at the counter. "I need a pair of bladed knuckle dusters made, cobalt material." He rumbled. The smith broke out a piece of paper to write the order down before questioning about design, appearances, and size. Kharne went over the appearance, he preferred simple things, and the blades would be roughly ten inches long with a slight curve. Both sides of the claw would be sharp since there was this thing called a backhand.

Ismael spoke up again, making Kharne turn towards him. "It depends on what you're looking to do. Blades cut but don't go through armor unless it's a hefty blade. Bludgeons crush armor, and bone, but they're hefty. Axes are happy mediums. Polearms are good for light armored opponents for the most part. There are also multiple ways to handle each weapon depending on its style." He stated while the smith went off to work on his order.

The giant reptilian man approached Ismael and began to show him the various ways of using weapons. Chocking up on an axe and 'punching' with the head. Choking up on the haft of a spear for better control and use in more cramped spaces and also using it much like a staff. The longsword and claymore he showed half-swording which was a way to make it more like a shorter blade so it could be used in a hallway. He even showed off the murderstroke, a strike to the skull via the crossguard while holding the actual blade. He was good at demonstrating all the more killer aspects of the various weapons he put his hands on. But it was still up to Ismael to pick a weapon that fit him well.

Kharne blinked before tilting his head slightly. "True enough, they might never have seen combat in their world." He mused. But he still felt it'd be better to arm and armor them first. Sometimes a good sheet of metal over the chest and good steel in the hand gave people comfort. The knowledge they could defend themselves to a degree. A blink and shake of his head were given to the princess at her next words. "Time and place for teamwork..." He murmured, more to himself than the others. He was a mercenary, it was entirely different than being in a military unit.

He was more used to relying on himself than others around him. If anything he tried doing more in a group to make sure things were done to his own standard. Trust did not come easy in the mercenary world. Still the girls went off to do girl things. Shop, gossip, talk of males. The behemoth looked down at Ismael for a moment before gesturing for the younger man to follow along. At least he only had to look after one human, not two. That made keeping an eye out for dangers easier on him.

It had been a little bit since he had been to River Port, but the layout felt the same. Just different faces, some new smells. It was obvious to Ismael on the first location the giant draconic man would lead him. To an armory, a business that sold arms and armor made by local blacksmiths and some brought in from other towns. "Try out various weapons, don't just look at them. Pick them up and give them a swing, pull, or thrust. What fits your hand and body best." Kharne said, inside the shop he seemed a bit more relaxed. Weapons and armor were things he liked, the current spread of gear looked like toys whenever he picked one up. Was his monstrous blade a custom order job to match his size?

Kharne was blocking each blow from the troll his his armored forearms. Outside it looked like he was being overwhelmed but he was counting the seconds between each of the trolls punches and was looking for an opening. Not that he needed one after a bit, the young girl Raven blew the troll off in a burst of wind magic. Also a loud expletive exclamation. A thump to the ground and the giant reptilian man was on his feet. No fancy flips, just a show of power by striking the ground and up he went.

"Thank you." He rumbled out as he approached the impaled troll. A branch through the heart seemed to kill the regenerative little bastards. But he didn't take chances, a shift of his hands and a wrench of his shoulders pulled the trolls her off along with a small portion of spine. Then he went about collecting what could be useful from the corpse. Without proper tools transporting the organs wouldn't be feasible, organs decay far too quickly.

Turning to the rest he eyed the three humans for a moment. "I'm sure you understand there's a lesson here. Don't underestimate your opponents." He stated before scooping up his giant sword and slinging it over his shoulder and into its sheathe before the group trudged on towards the town.

When they got to town he waved off Annya's attempts to get him to go to the health center, he had only been punched a few times. He didn't get slammed into the ground like a ragdoll like she had, at most he had lost a bit of blood from his nose and the inside of his cheeks were bloody from his teeth. They'd heal fast enough, although the nose was already clotted. Still shortly after that Annya got the group a couple rooms and before he could do or say anything she paid extra to have a third room put in the 'girls side'.

Very obvious Annya did not participate in campaigns since she did that. Although Ismael could be a deviant.

The group rested, well the humans rested, Annya went off for something and Kharne did his own thing. Which was clean his blade, hone the edge, and clean the blood off his armor and scales. Without his armor on the group could see he had a great many scars darkening the white hide of his body. When Annya returned she handed him a bracelet, making him quirk an eyebrow. When did she measure his wrist? She explained it was a magical transponder and could be used to contact her own. "Work before play...they need equipment, Annya." Kharne said, he didn't think the whole group would be like monks and punch things. Little Red showed an aptitude for knives but the other two were unarmed aside from their magic.

Goblin Slayer: Newblood (CANCELLED)

Big Red watched the pairs reaction to him starting to be eaten...and then Druid Girl finally used her spell. The cold made him shiver but the slime thickened and dropped off. Rapidly cooling liquid thickened up it seemed. It didn't get that cold where he was from, he had never seen ice or snow...or even breath mist. The blob though was slowly starting to move away, clearly trying to escape the cold source.

Druid Girl prevented the slow escape by splattering the slime with her staff. Which revealed a ring within its stomach. "I doubt the ring made it, slimes are a fairly common creature when it comes to caves and swamps. Which a sewer is like a mixture of both." He stated before shrugging. "Then again magic is strange and can do many things." The big reptilian man continued before the girls started to worry about his leg.

He gave the pair a dull look before patting his own chest. "Swamp-dweller. Disease doesn't affect me nearly as much as one of you. We'll continue on." He rumbled, did humans really worry about their combatants this much or were these two just the odd ladies out? Either way his pant leg was dropped and he made it obvious he wanted to keep going. It was a minor injury really and he felt like there was no point worrying so much about it.
