I decide to ditch the hover-bike in favor of my Cyber-steed Onyx, and a good thing too as I realize my approach would have been easily detected from miles away. I can't use my scanners to check for magical energies because Eternia is practically MADE of magic so as I travel I have to watch for dangers the old-fashioned way. I have a couple of small run-ins with some indigenous monstrosities which doesn't end well for them, but as I travel I notice a wonderful mixture of magic and inappropriately applied technology everywhere I travel. There's even a point at which I run into a talking tree, who after a lengthy chat, agrees to direct me to Snake mountain providing I'll regale it with a couple of my adventures (apparently trees don't get out much). I also have run in with a tiny floating half-assed mage by the name Orko the Magnificent, or the Great, or whatever, he was helpful but otherwise useless with magic. He said I shouldn't go to Snake Mountain, but offered to help with my dilemma saying he knew just the right person to help me. I passed on his offer and thanked him just the same. After all I'm sure he was suggesting I turn to Eternia's champion who I have been hearing so much about since I got here. He-Man is a big deal here, but thus far I'm not impressed considering all of his most formidable adversaries remain alive, well, and unincarcerated. Mine are... few in number these days, either because they're dead or imprisoned. I don't like loose ends.
As I near the foot of the mountain I am approached by and orange man that reminds me of an Orc, and what I can only describe as a green fish-person.
"Halt stranger!" The Beast-Man shouts!
"This is Skeletor's lands you are now and you're trespassing!" The Mer-Man adds
These two carry melee weapons I wouldn't exactly describe as "Threatening" but they mean to cause a problem.
"Gentlemen," I reply as my proximity sensors detect movement behind me, I'd be glad to discuss this peacefully, if you wouldn't mind lowering your weapons?"
The two men laugh and the Third one has stopped moving, and has now lined up directly behind me.
"I don't think so." the Mer-Man gurgles "That fancy horse of yours looks valuable and I'd wager you have coin."
"Besides, Skeletor will definitely want to see YOU in person." The furry Orc thing adds.
"You think it's gonna be that easy huh?" I was trying to avoid a run-in so soon, but it is what it is. I drop a proximity flash mine discreetly behind me.
The three pounce as on, a bit of coordination they didn't seem capable of at first. I've underestimated them, and now I'm gonna pay for it. They grab me by the arms and pull in opposite directions as the third guy, a well-muscled Solaran-esque with a ring-like visor with three cybernetic eyes, steps out from his cover approaches. The two who have hold of me are strong but they're holding weapons without knowing it. The three-eyed Triclops sets off the flash mine and I catch all three of them with the resulting flare. With my right gauntlet I launch my grappling line into the Beast-Man punching straight through his chest. I don't hit anything vital but it causes him to release my arm. With my right arm now free I spin into the Mer-Man smashing my forearm into his flat Fish-like face. As his face erupts with blood he stops fighting and goes down in pain. Triclops is not so lucky as these two as Onyx, my faithful steed, Kicks the living shit out of him. With all three of them down Onyx and I bolt out of there confident that they didn't have any communications equipment on their person. Normally I'd stay to finish these idiots off but the Sorceress was pretty insistent on not leaving a trail of blood, and since I don't LIVE in my armor I'll defer o her magical highness. Now onward to Snake Mountain. |
