Unwavering Knight
Fool's Errant
7th Feusen, 997 CYA, Night
Oxfam Ridge, The First Outpost
The journey went on uneventfully, with Pryonn mostly just trying to blend in as well as a fully armored seven foot tall knight possibly could on an airship. Any possible chances of meeting with the higher officers Belluam and Miriam face to face were swiftly avoided by immediately turning into the opposite direction, while the other officer was nowhere to be found, which suited Pryonn and Kaatl just as well.
The order for the cleansing of the fortifications came just after the mercenaries were busied with the offloading of the cargo. As per their calling, the professional soldiers gathered and went to the task. Spear in one hand, Pryonn and a handful of others ascended the stairs to the walls to remove the nearest of the nesting creatures, causing two Wight Vultures to rapidly rise and attack them.
Keeping ahead of his group, Pryonn was the first to battle, letting lose a rapid succession of stabs at the first of the bony birds, one of the jabs puncturing its natural armor to sink into the red meat beneath. The creature uttered an earshattering screech as it retaliated with an opened beak, sharp keratine failing to find purchase on the knight's armor for more than a superficial scratch. Other mercenaries joined the quarrel, one man's sword slicing across the same Vulture's ribcage to leave another streak of crimson on the ragged featers. (Wight Vulture #1: 2 HP lost, 4 HP left)
Seeing an opportunity, the other beast sped forward to slam its beak into the man's neck, only for Pryonn to step directly into its way, making it slam directly into his breastplate with its main body even as its beak sank between one of his plates before he pushed it away. (Pryonn: 1 HP lost, 12 HP left, 2 SE lost, 13 SE left)
