Blades flash, dipped in liquid fire. Ming danced among her chosen targets, the stragglers and the sidelines. She had to be smart, avoid getting overwhelmed. Her chosen weapons, a pair of short swords. They were sharp, functional, and avoided all the danger that other kinds of advanced weapons like plasma and mechanical came with. Good for short bursts or smoldering long bouts, it was all the advantage she needed to even the battlefield. She wasn't one for fancy magic or tricks to overcome a fight, but just her blades and knowing the flow of battle. "How big even is this place?" Of course, she had also gotten lost. "You'd think a finite tower in the middle of a megacity only could have so many ins and outs, but this is just confusing. Is it... this way? Yeah. This way." Ming had resorted to talking to a cocooned wriggling shorter woman-ish form she'd come across to help her navigate. "Oh, no that way. Got it."
This all reminded her of a job two summers ago to protect a town from a roaming band of tyrant saur. The same basic premise had taken place. A fortress had been erected, the tyrants had kidnapped some victims, only then it was just her taking them out with guerilla tactics and hit and runs. The same tactics she was using here. Hit, run, rinse and repeat. The targets were a bit larger than the tyrant saur, but that mostly meant they were easier to take down. "Hey, sheep." Ming wasn't sure if the wriggling cocooned shape was a sheep or not, but she got that vibe. "Before we leave here, do you know where the bigger ones are? I'm looking for a challenge." The wriggling cocoon shook its head. "Shame. Alright. Moving on then."
This may as well have been an all out war compared to the tyrant saur problem. People escaping, others charging in to attack. She didn't know why people were fighting alongside her but it may as well have felt like a full on raid was happening. If only she could find a...
"ERRUURRROOOOH-"
The hit came fast and right to her gut. Ming was sent flying, tumbling through the air in a straight line to a far stone wall. "Whoh!" She landed against the vertical wall with a three point landing, then braced and pushed off like a torpedo. "Finally, a big one!" The perfect target. Alone, separate from the others, but big and slow. Her blades flashed in a burst of fire from their scabbards, and she aimed a two kick combo and slash across what she could only assume was one of the larger living rubber golems they seemed to employ here.
SLASH!
One blade through its neck right beneath the skull helmet. It roared and whined, swiping at the air. Just enough time left for her to, in a split second, spin her other sword sword around and stab it into the clavicle of this thing. SHINK! The great rubber golem roared, split down the center until Ming landed on lithe feet on the ground. The golem fell backward and thumped hard with a crash.
"Easy pe-- huh?" Then Ming saw it, another cocooned form inside the golem itself, emerging and struggling with groans and moans and squeals for help. "They're putting people inside these things? Even the big ones?!"
MING- (Level 3)
MARTIALIST>
Subclass- Close Combat Arms Master
You are a master of your chosen tools. Others may use their tools to channel their spells or other abilities, or fight in conjunction with tricks and deception. But not you, you prefer the honest and simple majesty of mastering your instruments of combat and bringing everything you can to bear in battle. You are faster on your feet because you have to be, stronger with your weapon because you don’t have the luxury of relying on tricks or spells. Eventually, all Martialists figure out not just one or two weapons, but a whole class of weaponry they become expert in using. These become known as ‘Arms Masters’. They learn to weave their armaments between each other, creating a bloody dance in combat. You have a weapon for every occasion, and a way to handle any problem with efficient, effective force. While using more than one weapon in combat is an option for every other type of fighter, spellslinger or gunman, for the Martialist it is a core aspect of their style of handling every encounter. Hitting multiple times, a combo chain is created with some devastating finishing hits.
Subclass- Close Combat Arms Master
Daggers, axes, hammers, swords, shields and bucklers and especially your fists. The closer you are in combat, the more deadly and effective. Its not about tricks, or having range, or striking with heavy force. Its about precision and well placed hits with your chosen tools. You have learned to weave multiple weapons together into a string of hits, always keeping your enemy off guard by utilizing the bleeding potential of your blades, the crippling damage of hammers, and the raw damage of your armored fists. You've even picked up mid-range knife skills to round out your primary toolset to keep your enemy guessing.
