If its possible to repair the damage to the hand while recuperating we should do that.

Theres being unstoppably awesome, and then theres being suicidal.

>>6362283
How much time do we have til the end of the contest?

>>6362319
You'll likely need to be up and about to fix your arm, it is pretty badly damaged, and would need a lot of fixing that you can't really do in a bed.

Just gonna reiterate what I said in the other thread regarding adding a drill to the dragon steel gauntlet when we get around to it:

A drill IS pretty functionable. It doubles as a weapon, AND it can help us mine for materials, or dig our way out of someplace.

>>6362343

This, and how long to fix the arm.

I guess we could do a day or so of reading up on dragons and asking around about the area where the spawn are. Might let us recuperate just enough and still be going forward.

Go au naturel.

>>6362381
This. I like it.

Healan and learnan.

>>6362372
>>6362376
>>6362381
>>6362343
It will take only a day or two to fix your current arm. It will take a few days if you want to use your dragon-steel to make a whole new arm. You have a month and a half left until the competition is over.

It's not too long till your little Dwarf Assistant girl is showing up once more. She looks like she really wants to hold the axe, but does not touch it. Seems she has the same eye for weapons as her father.

You tell her about the fire rune you also want to attach and she eats up every word. She starts ranting off locations of Ice trolls and great saber cats. When you tell her you want to kill a young Black-dragon to both bless the fire rune, -and- add more lore to the weapon, along with getting the resources you need to add the leather from the flesh beneath the scales for the grip, and perhaps a tooth and such she freezes up.

She nods after a moment and says that would likely insure the blade in legend, but finding a Broodling without getting the mother's attention would be hard.

>>6362372
I maintain my opinion that knuckle-drills are useless because they wouldn't even function AS A DRILL. A drill has to be able to dig a hole larger or the same size as the thing it needs to make a hole for. And besides that we lack any means save magic to power it sufficiently to do that!
>>6362381
Do this

As an additional thought, could we buy more darksteel to help make blacksmith tools? As in all those little tools, not just the hammer. I don't know that we'll have the time to make them until afterwards, but it might be a good idea.
Unless we want to make tools from blackdragon-spawn scales or something.

>>6362443
KISS HER AGAIN IT'S NOT LIKE SHE'LL HIT US AGAIN

>>6362460
Oh, I should've specified that part. I don't mean tiny drills sticking out of the knuckles or retractable. I mean a portion on the knuckles that can be opened and a drill can be mounted on it. Sorta like how you can change what size drill you mount on an electric one.

>>6362372
Adding tiny drills or a drill mechanism to the arm is science you don't even think the dwarfs would know. Your arm moves and runs due to magic that has been twisted and granted by a complex series of events.

Doing more then putting a rune or two on your fist, or perhaps adding some sort of hidden compartment to it is likely too complex a thing to work correctly.

>>6362493
Fair enough. I'll concede on that note and instead insist we make with the dragon-smashing.

>>6362443
I suggest investigating lore concerning black dragons and what they are weak to as well.

Also, looking into building a mother-of-all-crossbows might now be a bad idea.

>>6362493
>hidden compartment

I say we put our collective brain power in this general direction.

>>6362525
>>6362523
I'm alright with this.

>>6362523
It's arbalest time, motherfuckers.

Hello again.

>>6362541
ARABLEST! FUCK YEAR!

>>6362576
I'm ok with this.

>>6362474
You look as if you want to lean in and kiss her. She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. Crossing her arms across her chest.

"I swear by the gods every last one of ya brave men is exactly the same. If ya are too hurt to go out and get ya self killed you got other things on ya mind. Don' git used ta this ya damn fool. I kin' give ma' dad any half-breed as an Heir ta tha throne. So gittin attatched ta me is just gittin worked up."

She leans in and kisses you anyhow, its brief, but she does not hold back. Just as you are enjoying it she tosses the heavy scrolls she was holding into your lap.

"I'll be back. I need to find out what the chances are at helpin'ya find one o'des damned things."

>>6362576
If/when we strength rune the gauntlet, WE WILL RELOAD THAT MOTHERFUCKING ARBALEST BY HAND. WINDLASSES ARE FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

>>6362583
Get to readan then, while healan as well.

>>6362576
Wuzzat? Is it some special variant of a crossbow?

>>6362583
tell her thanks and that she's awsome

>>6362600
PFFFT. WE WILL WIELD THE ARBALEST ON OUR HAND INSTEAD.

>>6362493
So, compartments, and possibly some generic mounting brackets/rivets/etc for the gauntlet
If we have a month and a half, it might be worth it to go ahead and dragonsteel our gauntlets after a day, maybe 2, of healing/learning.
Unless we can partially finish a Strength rune (so that we can finish it nicely if a suitable situation comes up unplanned for), best to leave it unRuned for now.
If we find out Black dragons have all sorts of poisons/acids, then things to neutralize/resist/delay would be nice.
Having the mother chase us back to the king could be just the thing he wants, really. Depends on if the rest of them follow or not. I get the impression the spawn are willing to kill each other, so I'm less certain that more than the mother will come after us.

>>6362641
Big, heavy, steel crossbow which could kill Knights at 500m

>>6362641
It is a crossbow in which the bow is made of motherfucking STEEL.

>>6362583
You look through maps and are starting to get a good lay of the land of these mountains. Looking down at the axe at the end of the bed, you smirk, It really will be your finest work.

You guide your hand to scurrying about, letting it do as it pleases. You think you are getting the hang of guiding it without looking at it. You still cannot -see- through it, or feel too much. But it almost feels as if you communicate what you want it to do in general it does it, as you used to have to command it to do each little thing.

You sketch up many ideas, how you will fight the dragon, thoughts of re-forging your gauntlet arm from dragon steel and what it would be like to have a rune on the steel, wondering if the gauntlet would work with a rune when your ghostly appendage inside still considers its self holding a rune.

>>6362670
Arm-mounted arbalest on our gauntlet? If we figure out a way to make it reload itself, our skeletal hand just became a miniaturized tank.

>>6362697
Rune of Reloading/Infinite Ammo?

>>6362670
I think we will just make one extra powerful.

Hyakurin approves of these new ideas.

>>6362713
Runes seem to be element based, not so much Jackie-chan- animated adventured based. Aside from luck and strength even those are basic.

>>6362737
Jackie Chan Adventures had runes of infinite ammo?

>>6362697
>>6362728
>>6362684
>>6362683
>>6362670
You think if you make the arm out of Dragonsteel you won't have enough to create a crossbow to fit on or hidden inside the arm, but you could make one out of Black-Steel, it would be hell to crank back the bow strings, and even then you'd have to find something to make the string out of that wouldn't snap, but still pull flexible.

You think you could do it. Whatever you fired from it would be deadly, but hard to reload swiftly.

>>6362737
I don't think they are element based, I think they are force of nature based. Things beyond human control.
Besides what if the were element based? PLUTONIUM RUNE. Makes things heavy as fuck and causes atomic explosions on impact. BADASS

No way we can get it too auto reload, one shot at a time will suffice.

>>6362786
Drill arrows for our crossbow, dragonteeth and blackpowder for our knuckles, bionic commando chains for our armstump, everyone's happy.

BLACK DRAGON TENDON BOWSTRING

I feel like we've lost our way. We are turning into something that should never be.
We are Charles Motherfucking Bronson, but that doesn't mean we have to have the most ingenious inventions.
We need to have our shit together to smith something and go out with that alone and make a legend.

I have just imagined firing our Strength Gauntlet from the Black Steel Arbalest while it holds onto a big black steel bolt with a chain attached to it.

Two days of study and healing pass, much time is spent with the Princess hovering over you as you scheme and plan. She thinks there is info about steel-strings in the books in the library if you gain entry you could make a nasty all-steel crossbow that with the right ammo could pierce armor.

You feel all right, until they remove the bandages and you see the malformation and scarring of your "stump". It was once at least strangely smooth where a spell has burned and melted the flesh almost perfectly and then a potion was applied. This looks nasty. Good thing it will be covered with your new gauntlet.

She has a plan, and wishes to go with you and a personal guard to assist in slaying the young dragon.
Do you wish to fix your gauntlet, go with it damaged, or make a whole new one before you go? Will you let her come with? Or try to make your own plan?

>>6362841
The asskicking will come soon, but we are bedridden at the moment, it does not hurt to plan ahead. Besides, having ingenious inventions will help us kick more ass.

We could always just wear a chain for a belt, and then hook it to our gauntlet for chain-arm shenanigans.
I do rather like the idea of the crossbow mount. Make it a generic mount of types on our gauntlet, we can build the crossbow after we figure out what else we still have to do to get the dragon spawn.

>>6362817
Drills: No, I don't think so the purpose of a drill is to convert rotation into forward motion, with the speed at which the bolt would fly a drill would not rotate fast enough to provide any real benefit, and would likely hurt the ability of our bolt to pierce things, however I have no problem with making the bolt rotate, this will make the arrow travel farther and more accurately.
Dragonteeth: Yes, no aguements against.
Gunpowder: Again, No, impractical and likely more dangerous to us than our enemies.
Bionic Commando Chains: First Wut?. Second, I dont want our arm tied down to us, it's independence of our body is a boon not a curse.

>>6362859
If she wants to come, she needs to tell us what she's planning; I'm not going to have her blood on our hands.

( You all must also remember who these weapons will be used by. So far, he's smashed a few things with his hammer, been stubborn and smart and threw one axe into a guys neck. Weapon chain awesome, sword, drill arms etc. Etc. Might be able to be made depending on what runes I decide to make in the books, -but- what will a guy like the Blacksmith -do- with them?)

She seems able, let her come with. Make sure you ask her if her father is fine with it first, though. Probably best to wait and forge the gauntlet after we are done with the contest, also get some of the black dragon scales to make the crossbow out of.

>>6362859
I have a bad feeling about letting her come on this trip.
Something is going to happen, and it might end up with some of us in tears.

>>6362841
This right here. Fuck the Arablast and the obsession with throwing runes on all of our shit, finish the axe and then make a new dragonsteel guantlet no fancy ass bullshit. Multiple runes and fancy little gadgets are for elves and other assorted faggots.

>>6362859
If we have the time to do so, I say we forge the gauntlet with dragonsteel now.

>>6362890
The chains don't have to be permanent, they should be detachable; I just like the idea of swinging around and punching dragons in the face.

>>6362916
Which will only make them angry.

>>6362859
Fix up the old gauntlet for now, tell her she can come but we should inform the king first, we don't want the kings other kid killed by a black dragon and the guards that accompany us should have some experience with hunting dragons.

>>6362916
Considering we're a blacksmith and not a warrior.. well, as cool as the idea is, I imagine the dragon would just chomp down on the gauntlet and then proceed to swing us around, bashing us against walls.

>>6362926
We plan on killing it, it should be angry.

>>6362916
For serious, no chains. Arablest made out of black dragon scale/darksteel alloy is fine.

>>6362897
She refuses to tell her father. You get the sense that this has to do with the way her brother died. Thinking about how she mentioned an heir and how you've not seen or heard of her mother, it seems that she might be the last of their Royal bloodline beyond their warrior father.

No chains.
No exploding punches.
Spikes are fine by me.
Drills? Seriously? No.
We must not let the princess be harmed if she comes with us in this venture.

>>6362278

>>6362943
fffffffffffffffff

one dood in this thread is serious weeaboo. Incoming asking us to buy a katana.

>>6362943
This complicates things.

On one hand, if she comes with us there is always the chance she can warm up the idea of a half-breed heir, heh heh.

On the other hand, it would be stupid not to let it slip to the king what is daughter is about to do, but she would hate us for it.

I'm torn.

>>6362943
Oh great. Well let's forge ahead no sense taking so much time to argue over stupid shit. Time to kill a Dragon.

>>6362943
She should stay, if she dies the dwarf kingdom will be in shambles, if we die there wont be a blacksmith in a small town that no one remembered to name.

The suggestion of a big, heavy crossbow wasn't for use after the Dragon was slain, but to slay the Dragon.

We've recently found it difficult just to deal with a pair of adult dragons who were being, mostly, hospitable. Then a single blind Elf almost killed us. In straight combat, what are the honest chances of killing a dragon, even a baby one, with just a hammer?

It's time to make decisions you think. Going it alone will be the roughest of the rough, dealing with dragons and luckily slaying an old arrogant Lich who was next expecting it is one thing. But going alone to tackle a black dragon is asking to become something's lunch.

She says even if you won't let her come you must take the group of Dwarf Dragon-hunters with you. She says they can be trusted, and likely would die before they let the axe or you be destroyed.

Shall she come? Shall you go alone? Are you making your arm or anything first? Thats the decisions. Anything else being dwelled upon is.. "Muckin about".

>>6362943
Ask her if she wants to pain her father when he loses his two children. She doesn't need to do this to prove her strength, the most she can prove is that she is willing to risk her fathers happiness in exchange for a little thrill.
Offer to wipe out the dragons in exchange for her staying by her fathers side where she can't be harmed.
We aren't trying to protect her just because she is a women, we are trying to protect her because there are people who care for her.

>>6362992
We can always change out for a blackdragonsteel arablest afterwards, it's not like we are going to fuse the thing to our gauntlet. That would be stupid.

Just have arablest mounts.

>>6362999
Take her. Go with the Hunters, if they are experts they can handle this all by themselves. Just come along to bathe the axe in the smoke.

Fix arm, making the dragonsteel one can wait til later. No to princess, yes to hunter escort.

>>6363005
>>6363021
This.

>>6363007
Right, I never thought it had to be black steel/dragon badass to begin with. A bundle of black steel bolts with some serious hooks in them and a solid, steel arbalest to drive them home. It seems the most reliable way to kill the dragon without getting killed ourselves.

And I think we need to do this solo - the weapon's lore will suffer if it was a systematic execution of the sucker.

>>6362999
I'll tell you what, let's take skelton-arm as is, if we can beat a goddamn dragon with a broken arm, it'll be twice as epic as beating it up with a dolled of enchanted one.

>>6363005
Eh, she's obviously a warrior herself. She offered to train us after all.

I dunno, ask her why she wants to come. Require full disclosure if you are even going to consider it. If the reasons are worthwhile maybe she can. (probably not)

>>6363037
>dolled up even

>>6362926
On a practical note, it extends our reach in a very real sense. Grappling hand and such, always useful. Definitely should be something we can hook to our gauntlet or leave it without though.
This bit where others are perfectly willing to do the incredible is strange and perhaps both nice and unpleasant. Don't exactly want her to die for us, but she does seem capable. What's her plan, at the very least?
Mucking about: Something to deal with after the dragonspawn is dealt with, but that proposed Strength rune should reasonably be able to stack with our Protection rune, should they both count as our arm/self. Strength and endurance are incredibly useful things for defense. Perhaps our stunt could involve defending things. Again, just something to consider later on though.

>>6363021
Why? they are just gonna catch on fire, and then all the other Dwarves will be like SHOOEEESSSSS and then they are gonna catch fire and before you know it the entire Dwarven kingdom will be on fire.
But seriously take the hunters.

Ask her what her plan is and what she would do if she came with us.

>>6363042
We are Charles Bronson, and we have a Deathwish.
I don't think we want to spread that curse around to others.

>>6362990
>>6362990
>>6362990
This.

>>6363066
She obviously also has a deathwish, why can't we even hear her out? I mean damn, it's not like we can't refuse afterwards. We aren't losing anything except like 15 minutes of gametime.

>>6363021
>>6363005
>>6363007
You do the best thing you can think of, and tell her that she -can- come, but you don't want her to. And she shouldn't want to risk her life and doom her bloodline needlessly and heart break her father. You say you will take the hunter escort as you are not suicidal.

She hangs her head for a moment, but nods leaning in to hug you. Squeeze you then crawl on top of you...

You quickly realize where she is going. What are you going to do?

>>6363077
Hit it like an anvil?

>>6363077
I'm stuck between being noble and saying she will find someone who won't run off and die leaving her heartbroken, and the obvious other option.

>>6363077
Wouldn't it be dickish of us to fuck her when she's vulnerable right now? Not to mention we can't stay in their kingdom.. we have the town to run.

>>6363077
Time to make a half-breed before we get underway, apparently.

>>6363077
Drop pants-drop pants-drop pants-drop pants-droppants

>>6363077
The noble thing, politely tell her no. We are not knocking up the king's daughter before we go out and possibly get us all killed.

>>6363077
NO NO NO NO WE ARE NOT LEAVING ANY LOOSE THREADS UP HERE IN THE MOUNTAINHOMES.
We will kindly decline, besides there is that other chick at that in. CHARLES BRONSON IS NOT GOING TO BECOME ANYONES BABY-DADDY.

>>6363077
This cannot end well.

>>6363108
I am fairly sure she already knows this, seeing as she was the one who pointed it out to us earlier.

That said, doubt the girl is thinking straight.

>>6363077
Charles Bronson has seen too much sadness to create more.
Noble path.

Aint nothing wrong with oral.

The strain between being a nice dude and the desires of the penis is too great..!

>>6363077
"We should wait until I come back, we'll have a reason to celebrate then."

>>6363077
Comfort her and talk of other lands in a distracting way.

>>6363077
Oh man, we can't do this.

>>6363145

>>6363102
Idiots. We're CHARLES BRONSON. We are not a dick, but neither are we noble.

We tell her no. But we pause for effect, and then tell her that if she still feels the same when we come back, we'll give her what she wants, with ten times the interest.

>>6363131
THIS NOW

>>6363145
I'd say this, but women can be... touchy about this particular subject. Heaven forbid a man refuse sex, even if it's temporary or for a good reason.

>>6363170
NO FUCK YOU KAMINA WE ARE NOT SETTING OURSELVES UP LIKE THAT

( I'm seeing a lot of mixed answers. But Since It is 50/50 I'm going to say...hmm heh)

Hours pass. And you are at your work station fixing your hand, a smug grin does not leave your face. You attempted to do the noble thing at first, but apparently a dwarf girl is stubborn. In the end the bed was broken and your legs feel like rubber... However you both kept your sense about you enough so that you are pretty sure there will be no little Bronson's running around.

>>6363170
You WANT us to die don't you?

>>6363181
Why do you do this to us?

> Little Bronson's
> Half dwarf.
I see what you did there.

>>6363181
I'm okay with this.

>>6363181
That will work.

>>6363155
It's going to get worse. There will be tears if we don't. And unless she's in a right-thinking way of mind, it'd be wrong. Plus, dwarven heir's baby-daddy is not so great an idea, even if they have accepted us somewhat nicely.
A kiss, and a true one at that, but no more. We can't leave her with that burden just yet. "Besides, you'll have plenty of time to think about it once I get back."

>>6363182
>>6363175

>>6363181
>>6363180
Shit.

Within hours your hand is ready and once more in full working condition, even if it feels a little less solid then it once did.

If there is anything you wish to do before meeting up with the hunters feel free to say so.

>>6363226
Contemplate your manliness.

So, are we in working condition yet? We need to get hunting soon.

>>6363226
See if dorf girl is regretting boning us yet.

>>6363226
Contemplate your return.
We are returning with the rune finished or we are not returning at all.

>>6363237
You contemplate your manlyness. You have a giant axe strapped to your back, a metal hand, and just had sex with a Dwarf Princess. You think it's at -least- holding out at about 50%. You havn't killed anything in a few days.

>>6363226
Check the armory for heavy crossbows, if we can raid something like an Arbalest and use it to assist in the hunt I think that's the best course of action.

>>6363264
OH WE WILL.

>>6363264
Right-O it's time to kill, also remember, we can't use the axe to kill the dragon, we only use the dragon to fuel the fire rune. Shit-breaker will take-care of the dragon.

>>6363248
The way she sends you off as the black gates open scream that she does not regret it one bit.

The hunter's have filled you in on her plan before you started to leave. They plan on going to the main cave where the mother lays her eggs, and setting a large cow corpse outside. They are seasoned men, and they seem like they have done this before.

They assure you that only three or four die when they do this on special occasions, when regents are needed from these beasts.

>>6363306
No one is going to die. Except maybe us.

>>6363313
But we're used to that idea by now.

>>6363313
Just one. Two if the dragon takes us with it.

>>6363319
I know, just making it clear that the Dwarves have nothing to worry about, except maybe retrieving the axe from our corpse.

>>6363306
Not a single one is going to die this time. We won't let them. WE WILL BEAT THE LIFE INTO THEM IF NEED BE. CHARLES MOTHERFUCKING BRONSON DOES NOT LET HIS HELP DIE ON HIM!

>>6363334
If we do die, we want them to send three messages for us. One to the mayor's son back in our time with instructions, one to the leader(s) of the city that hassled us reading "I always hated you. I always hated you the most. Douchebags." And finally one for the Dwarf Princess, our beautiful, badass minx of a stout lass.

The message will simply read:
"Bugger."

>>6363272
>>6363313
You assure them if anyone will die it will be you. One of them tosses you a much larger, heavier crossbow. It seems it only has one thick stake sized bolt in it. The end of the bolt has a hook on it that closes shut. A few of the burly dwarfs are carrying large wooden spools on their shoulders covered in heavy iron chains.

As you walk they explain how they do this. They have a few fireworks and powder bombs to scare the smallest and largest amount of dragons off the Cow corpse, and then drag their food away.

The large more bold dragons are shot with the cross bows stakes with chains tied on. They then kill the dragons and run. Hopefully the mother won't awake and murder you all.

>>6363368
Town, not time. God I'm tired.

>>6363368
Can we assume that was already done?
As we are Charles Bronson, and we can see the future.

>>6363371
It's just like whaling!

>>6363371
Sounds good, can we lace the cow with anything that'll fuck up the smaller dragons?

>>6363371
It takes nearly a day, but here you are outside the mouth of the cave. The leader walks up to you and asks if there is anything you want to add, or any part of the plan you don't understand?

They want to kill two dragons as their goal. One to burn and one for reagents.

>>6363409
sounds like it will work.

>>6363409
Ask them if they have time for a turkey-beef sammich.

..What? I'm hungry.

>>6363409
Just tell me which to shoot.

>>6363409
How big is this cave? And how much space do we have to work with?

Offer them a drink before we start. Not enough to screw up the shot of course.

rolled 41 = 41

>>6363407
>>6363422
>>6363388
He laughs when you talk about drugging the dragons. He tells you for a few minutes about how if anyone get's poisoned it will be us from a bite. He says the chains are thick enough not to be broken by acid quickly, but they will still melt if they are too slow.

You give them the go ahead and a few brave lads drag the corpse out in front of the cave. They slice open the stomach and the smell of blood, gore and rot fills the air as they return to the group. Everyone readies their cross bows...

>>6363462
41! THATS CLOSE TO 42, AND THATS GOOD LUCK!

>>6363462
COMMEEE OOOOONNNNNNNN

>>6363462
In b4 Azure Rathalos

>>6363462
So nervous.

>>6363462
Cries fill the air and dragons from the size of dogs to the size of horses land on the corpse, they are about 20 in number, and it seems they are mal-nurished and have been scrapping with eachother.

The fireworks go off without a hitch, and then the smaller dragons fly off. Dwarfs begin pulling in the rope and everyone gets ready with the crossbows.

Three dragons remain. And after everyone fires except for yourself, two of them are pinned to the ground by chains and spikes. The third is swooping above, he lands on a dwarf and looks like he will bring his jaws down on his head in a moment.

You..?

>>6363530
Crossbow bolt to dragon's head. NOW

>>6363530
FUCK THAT DRAGONS SHIT UP! IF ANYONE IS GOING TO DIE IT'S US!

>>6363530
Open jaws, open shot. Plant one right into his head.

>>6363544
FIRE

>>6363530
Bolt to the head ensures it's dead.

Begin thinking of appropriate one-liners.

>>6363530
20 MALNOURISHED DRAGONS???

Crossbow that fucker trying to eat the dwarf and then smash those fuckers.

>>6363568
EAT A BOLT!

In addition to firing crossbow bolt into its open mouth, maybe getting over there to slam our gauntlet into it's mouth as a wedge.
Worst to worst, it swallows the arm and gets a terminal case of indigestion.

Kill two. Keep one.
THE DRAGON TAMER. THE DRAGON TRADER. THE DRAGON RIDER. Hell we could make a collection of hands like that dude from enter the dragon. DRAGON HEAD HAND.

You leap over chains and cross the distance enough to get a clear shot, the beast has it's mouth open and sprays a nasty hissing wad of green at the dwarf. He manages to move his head however, and it burns the ground, eating away at the stone.

You fire and the dragon is knocked off of him, the spike through its jaws. The other dwarfs seem to be taking care of the other dragons with ease. It seems the flaw in their plan is when more dragons come out then they have bows to pin them.

The dragon is not dead, but flailing about you're not the perfect shot, it went through its snout and pinned it to a nearby boulder. The downed dwarf is alive, but is too shell shocked to act. He's cut from the claws.

The flailing tail smashes into your chest and knocks you to the ground. It will be free in moments.

Next move?

>>6363627
Picture is related to next move.

>>6363627
Do we have a spare bolt? NO TIME TO RELOAD. PIN THE BOLT IN WITH SHIT PINNER.

>>6363627
Sucker smash it in the face with darkshitfucker and grab a wing with your gauntlet hand. Then keep smashing.

>>6363627
Do we have another bolt? IF SO WE GET THE FUCK UP AND START NAILING IT INTO THE DRAGONS HEAD WITH SHIT EXECUTIONER.

>>6363645
>>6363648
>>6363650
>>6363651
J-J-JAM IT IN MIND

>>6363651
Time to ruin some shit.

Get a spare bolt AND HAMMER IT'S HEAD INTO THE GROUND LIKE A NAIL THROUGH WOOD.

You know. You dudes talk about using the shit smasher or whatever. why dont we use...
I dunno..
THE FUCKING AXE MADE LIGHTNING? IF IT KILLED A BROOD OF DRAGONS IT WOULD MAKE IT EVEN MORE LEGENDARY.

>>6363627
Bring our hammer to bear.
On its face.
With tremendous force.

>>6363685
Not ours to use, it would be improper to give the King a "used" blade.

>>6363685
It's not our axe, we have no right to use it.

>>6363685
We cannot use the axe, the first to draw blood with it should be the dwarf king, it's HIS weapon after all.

Smash it in the head, we have to disable that mouth with its poison and acid. Be ready to use gauntlet to knock aside any acid we can't dodge.
Watching out for the tail and claws is given, but smashing it in the head is important.

>>6363685
>>6363700
I agree with ursus here. Also we can add that to its list anyway, FORGED BY A HAMMER THAT SMITES DRAGONS.

>>6363685
Better Legend or Better Rune? With a Better Rune it has a higher cap for legendary-ness. Besides, we want to make sure that the Dwarf King gets to use it first.

>>6363648
>>6363650
>>6363651
You stand and pull out the new and improved Shit-Basher, and smash the hammer into the stake, forcing it in deep enough to keep it there. It continues to thrash even as you beat the hammer into it.

Someone yells that it's head needs to be removed. It's spitting acid out of it's mouth now, blindly just landing on the stone and the ground, you have to move your legs quickly, you hold one wing that tries to flap into your face. It tries to find purchase with its claws.

You hear yells that they will be there to assist you soon. You hope one of the Dwarfs with one of the great swords you saw come running soon as you feel claws dig into your legs.

And you?

>>6363711
>>6363704
>>6363700
I thought the king liked lore, but I guess it getting forged by a dragon killing hammer is kool too.

>>6363712
We kill it with our hammer, naturally. We have to kill it ourselves for greater rune-power.

>>6363712
WE START PRYING IT'S SCALES OFF AT THE NECK, EXPOSING IT'S WEAKNESS AND MAKING IT THAT MUCH EASIER TO KILL.

>>6363712
Crush its throat. Try and spit acid at my friends with no windpipe. PUNK

>>6363712
BITCH. WE JUST GOT THAT LEG FIXED. KNEE THE DRAGONS LEG SO HARD YOU SNAP ITS KNEE. Or at least dislodge the claws.

>>6363730
Or at least that's how I think it works.

>>6363712
PUNCH IT IN THE GODDAMN EYES WITH THE GAUNTLET

DO IT

>>6363712
Rip that fucking wing off and back away a bit. When nailed and wingless it will be fine to wait for the dwarves.

If we can't knock it senseless by slamming it in the head, then wail on a wing. Hopefully that will further disorient the thing and keep it out of it.

>>6363726
Transitive property of asskickery.

Losing scales hurts like fuck, don't it? Do we have any wedges to put under a scale and then belt it with a hammer to dislodge it while it's still alive?

>>6363730
>>6363731
A Bloodlust seems to overtake you. Perhaps it is the fact that you just forged a rune of fire and now are in the trial of blessing that rune. Either way you feel more rage than you ever have before, and your steel hand begins to dig into the beasts scales, literally prying a couple of them off. It howls in pain and in turn digs its own weapons in deeper.

You care not for simple things like pain. And bring the hammer down over and over. This time square on its head. You feel its eye crush and break, its skull begin to crack and before long you and the rock are soaked in reddish black dragon blood. Breathing hard.

The claws twitch one last time and then let go of your legs.

>>6363796
TIME FOR THE OTHER TWO

>>6363796
Ok, cool. Time to bless the axe.

>>6363752

We should take a wing to study later, so we can fix that gold dragon.

>>6363796
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

>>6363796
RELOAD OUR CROSSBOW, TIE A ROPE TO THE BACK, AND MOUNT THE COW ON THE FRONT...
WE'RE GOING FISHING.

>>6363796
BURN THIS ONE. THIS IS THE ONE TO BURN

Kill another one through blunt trauma, take some scales then burn both at once for DOUBLE DRAGON POWER on the rune. I'm sure the dwarven god of slaughter would be more than happy to grant us additional power for two dragons rather than one.

>>6363814
You want to burn the corpse here? Did we have to burn it immediately after killing it?
Because if we can take our lives and the other two dragons and get a bit further before we roast one of mama dragon's little babies right next to her cave, that would be a good thing.

>>6363848
I think if we're going to do anything, burn one and take everything that's worth it off that corpse and the other one.

>>6363815
This is a very good idea. We should do this as well. We could argue that of the three, we could probably burn the one we beat and still get some useful stuff from one of the other two, namely the wings and some scales for later crafts.

>>6363848
We still need material components, that's what the others are for, besides the other ones were killed primarily by the Dwarves. Not Manly enough to use them. This one was in a personal fight with us alone, and we killed it, it is a superior offering.

Also, we have to offer the whole beast. I think it was mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

>>6363811
>>6363814
>>6363815
>>6363816
You turn to look at the other two Dragons and find only two Dwarfs staring up at you grinning.

The others all seem fine and you reach down to help up the Dwarf you saved. Lots of "We're getting you a pint lad" And "You should come with us next time" Gets passed about.

A lantern and oil is handed to you and you set upon lighting the Dragon on fire as they set up transporting the other two corpses. You Take the axe up and hold the rune on the handle over the smoke.

Time passes, and it seems like nothing is happening, but as the sickening smell fills the air, the smoke seems to wrap and dance around the whole axe. More and more of the body seems to be turning into ash at a rapid rate, and the smoke stops rising to the air and instead looks as if it is being sucked into the rune.

As the smoke gathers into the axe, the axe head begins to glow as if it was on the forge, and then suddenly it bursts into flames. They grow and grow, but seem to be magical enough to avoid your hands.

Finally the corpse is ash and the smoke is gone. Slowly the axe calms down and the fire goes away, but the rune continues to glow. Seems the axe is nearly complete.

You hear a long angry roar and the dwarfs all jump.

"Run lad. RUN".

is this a choice FUCKIN RUN

>>6363935
SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER
WHEN YOU SEE THE BLACK WYRM

>>6363935
Time to run! Only the king should be allowed to kill that Dragon using our Aaxe. WE ONLY ATTACK IT IF WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

>>6363935
YOU HEARD THE DWARF RUN LIKE YOU MEAN IT

>>6363935
Stay behind all the dwarves, if one falls pick him up, if one lags behind, guard him.
We will not let these dwarves die.
If all hope is lost throw the axe to the closest dwarf as a farewell gift.

grab the parts we want (skull, wings, etc.) and gtfo or do we stay and fight/talk?

>>6363935
RUN LIKE HOLY SHI---

Time to use the fucking axe, CHARLES BRONSON DOESN'T RUN!

>>6363935
ARE THERE ANY DRAGONS LEFT, WE ARE HITCHING A RIDE, RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. I DON'T CARE IF WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO RIDE ONE.

FUCKIN' RUN.

Time to leave.

We got what we needed, GTFO, and make sure none of the others get killed.

>>6363935
They say that almost like they intend to buy us time.
And if we finish, we can pass them the axe to take back. We'll just have to find some way to elude the momma.

run like a madman

>>6363935
>Seems the axe is nearly complete.

Wait, 'nearly'? What's left?

rolled 72 = 72

>>6363973
>>6363954
>>6363971
>>6363972
It is hard to keep up with the other Dwarfs, you and the wounded Dwarf lag behind. For once someone does you a real favor, two of the Dwarfs once carrying the chains turn around and pick the two of you up. Even if you were to protest, it does not seem like you have a choice.

Book out of there, doubletime. Help the dwarves if you can, but we aren't so noble as to sacrifice ourselves for them as knew what they were getting into in the first place.

>>6364014
OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT

>>6364014
72? That's good. Right? right?

>>6364014

prepare crossbow while being carried i suspect one of the dwarfs is going to pull a forrest gump and we'll have to shoot the gook that bit him in the ass

>>6364014
YOU WILL NOT DIE FOR ME!
*sheds manly tears*

>>6364033

>>6364039
I WISH I COULD QUIT YOU

I've had this looping while this thread has been going on.
So /tg/ related.

>>6364009
Well. We want it to look nice and everything so we were going to put some grip on it, a tooth on the end, you know. pretty it up.

also.
the lower we roll it seems that is when shit gets bad.

>>6364033


SOMETHING BIT MEEAAAAHHHHHHH

>>6364111
He mighta switched it up, it's taking him a while to post.

Bracing For Epic.

>>6364009
Decoration and adding leather/ whatever to the grip and naming the axe is left.
>>6364014
Eventually they stop running, some of them are laughing and breathless, it seems the mother was far enough off that even smelling the blood of her young she was too far gone from her brooding spot to come and exact revenge.

It is not long before you are back and your superficial wounds are being treated.

There is a month left, till judging. You have everything you need to finish the axe.

That night you have no choice but to party with the Dragon hunting team, as they won't take no for an answer and practically pour drinks down your throat.

You awake in your room on your broken bed alone, thankfully, but with a bit of a hang over.

It's time to decide what to do before the competition.

So guys, couldn't we theoretically use dragon claws for the fingers of our gauntlet, if we wanted to? Seems like we have a lot of dragon bits if we make it out of this.

>>6364144


Finish the axe?

Make something nice for ourselves I guess.

We've got an axe to finish and a gauntlet to forge. The repair job held, but it's time for the REAL ULTIMATE POWER.

>>6364144
What, besides the Fire Rune, did we get out of the expedition?

And where's that Princess...

>>6364150
Sure, why not. If we have five claws leftover, let's add them to the gauntlet.

>>6364192
Dragon bits

>>6364144
They took one dragon for re-agents, we took the one we beat down for the sacrifice.
Did we manage to get the wings of the last one and some scales?

>>6364150
Fuck yes, dragon the thing up. Dragonsteel gauntlet, dwarven mechanical artistry to have retractable dragonclaws on the fingers, arablest made out of black dragon scale/darksteel alloy, some dragontooth inlays to make the runes and generally make it look like a gauntlet of legend.

This shit is going to be just as epic as the axe, maybe moreso.

>>6364218
We don't want it extravagant. We can put the claws on it but I was picturing putting them on the knuckles, and who said we wanted them ever to retract?

>>6364218
Also, we should wait until the dwarven archives are unlocked so we get the maximum forging mastery for it. We are already an awesome smith, but who knows what secrets they have.

>>6364218
Arablest not part of it, though. Make it detachable. Just something you can mount on the gauntlet if you need to.

>>6364237
Retractable claws on the fingers are useful for many things. Never need sharpening, act as knives, grippers for scaling things or holding on, can be used to slash the shit out of someone in close combat, and retractable so that we don't cut the fuck out of everything we move our hand near. Plenty of space inside our hollow gauntlet to retract into, why the hell not?

>>6364171
>>6364186
It takes a couple of days because you want this to be your finest work. You etch a dragon breathing fire on one side of the axe and another breathing a Lightning bolt on the other side. It takes some time because you have to learn to use Black Dragon acid to get it just right. You cover the etches with gold plating.

You have a leather worker use some of the Black Dragon flesh to craft the handle and you wrap it around it. It is both ornate and savage, and as you hold it and pride fills your chest you can feel the power rising through it. Strong emotions seem to trigger the runes and lightning arches across the edge as flames dance around them.

If this king went to war the number of men he would murder would be countless. Looking at this tool for ruin makes you wonder if you are a killer or an artist.

>>6364276
I'd read a boook if you wrote it man I think.

>>6364276
Oh god.It's...

>>6364276
>Looking at this tool for ruin makes you wonder if you are a killer or an artist.

WE'RE BOTH.

WE'RE CHARLES BRONSON.

AND WE HAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DEATHWISH.

>>6364276
We are Charles Fucking Bronson. Killing IS our art.

>>6364276
Don't forget the tooth at the bottom.

>>6364276

Both, motherfucker.

We should definitely add an easy site on the gauntlet to attach and detach various tools. So we could mount the arablest one day and something like say a grappling hook the next.

>>6364276
I swear to all the gods, if we get back to town after doing this and something is fucked up.
THERE WILL BE MANY HELLS TO PAY

I'm back if this is still going on.

>>6364276
We write the lore of this axe and inscribe it as follows:
"By the hand of a deadman and the fury of the forge; the parentkiller and vengeancebringer thirsts for dragonblood to engorge. Through the death of it's mother, cackling witch of a storm; it feasted upon it's father, in flames and acid it was truely born. It waits for the king who will raise it up high; to smite the black mother and cut open the sky."

>>6364318

Yeah, our gauntlet needs the fantasy equivalent of a USB port.

>>6364324
Holy shit.

>>6364324
...Epic.

>>6364320
This axe is worth more than the dwarven kingdom. The least he could do is give our town a permanant alliance.

Ideally we would marry the dwarf princess to cement it, but that's not Bronson's thing IIRC. And we went through so much trouble to forge this epic wonder that he damn well can create a permanant alliance without blood relation if we so wish.

>>6364276
Wow. Just wow.
>>6364270
It's not hollow.
>>6364290
I think this needs to be made into a book. It reeks of Mary-Sue, but I want a copy.

>>6364276

we are an artist, and we paint with death

I believe we've begun to auto sage.

I think the threads auto-saging again. Migrate to Deathwish Quest Thread 4.75!

>>6364307
For the added touch you press a gold enveloped dragon tooth to the bottom of the grip, making sure to make it sharp and deadly, so just in case it could be used to dive through someone.

A day or two of rest, and it is time to create your new arm. Two more days of working Dragon-Steel Alloy into molds, and hammering, working the molten metals and shaping later and your arm is done.

The arm looks much more sleek and deadly then the first, and you made sure to leave slots and spaces, hooks and latches on the inside of the plates to let you add things later.

You free your skeleton hand from the confines of the old arm and watch as it crawls like a sea creature into its new home. A few minutes later and it feels like a brand new limb.

The brace goes farther up your arm to seem like a whole arm and shoulder guard to keep your bicep hidden and let you have more control over the arm.

>>6364389
I love you little arm.

>>6364398
His Name is God-Hand or something else suitably epic.

Hmp. Now all we got to do is give the king the axe. Have him kill the dragon (hopefully we will be there at the time) get her wing. cover that bitch in metal and give it to the gold dragon.

>>6364324
Have a royal scribe pen this shit in gold or something suitable and present it with the axe.

>>6364389
Melt down the old gauntlet and make a neat little trinket to wear around our neck.

>>6364428
We're going to mount the old gauntlet on our wall.

>>6364430
