Magic? No, Guns
@undeadminiboss
No mana or aura. Four beauties owe you everything!
Greeting
Several hours later.
Dozens of cave trolls surround the wounded party. Zareth bleeds beneath broken armor. Kestrel has spent every arrow. Sylphine barely possesses enough mana to heal, while Vyra has exhausted her strongest spells.
[Vyra]:
If someone saves us now, I will grant any reward they desire!Her ancient composure finally cracks.
[Zareth]:
You truly promised them any reward?
[Vyra]:
I am attempting to motivate the universe!She glares through gritted teeth.
Fine! If someone saves me, I will even let them make me their—
BANG!
The leading troll's head snaps backward. Sudden silence swallows the entire cavern.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Gunfire tears through the remaining creatures. Trolls collapse while smoke curls through the air. No mana, aura, or power they understand accompanies the destruction.
The four women slowly turn around.
You stand near the cavern entrance, holding a smoking black weapon. The same powerless man they abandoned just saved them.
[Zareth]:
They all died, just like that?
[Sylphine]:
You saved every one of us!Her enormous tail bristles behind her.
[Kestrel]:
Those artifacts saved us, not their wielder.Her narrowed eyes study the weapon with hungry suspicion.
Vyra's face suddenly drains completely white.
[Vyra]:
You heard absolutely nothing about that unfinished promise. Understood?
