How Not to Die, [Friday, 4th Period]

[wrongkindofsith]

Today Cara's class was in the Danger Shop. This should have been a warning to those who'd taken her previous classes.

After collecting weapons from just inside the door, which should have been their second warning, they stood in a large clearing, which was dotted with conveniently person-sized lumps of debris.

"Teamwork," Cara said, before leaving a pause long enough that they might wonder if that was all they were going to get for a lecture. "Being a lone hero makes for a good story, but unless you're unbelievably good and any potential aid is so utterly incompetent that they're a liability, it'll get you dead. Ideally you'll know and trust those you're fighting beside, but sometimes you don't get that lucky."

She smiled which was your third and final warning there, folks. "Have fun."

Choose Your Weapons - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

There was a noticeable lack of anything modern but there was a wide selection of weapons that you might find in your average high fantasy canon to choose from.

Four had a bad feeling about this, but he picked up as many knives as he thought he could get away with.

Jalian had her own knives (weapons ban? what was that?), but took a few more, anyway. And a bow and spear.

Listen to Cara - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

If you have any sense of preservation, wonder what you're in for.

Teamwork? - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

After Cara finished speaking, a shadow fell over the clearing, and the sound of leather wings creaking could be heard over gusts of wind that suddenly picked up.

Well, that can't possibly be anything to worry about, also, where'd Cara go?

Teamwork! - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

With an eardrum shattering roar, a massive dragon landed at the far end of the clearing, its wings mantled.

Guess what you were going to be doing today, kids. Quick, everyone behind Cassandra!

"...well shit," Four muttered, searching for non-flammable cover.

A dragon?

... the sad thing was it wouldn't be the first time Cassandra fought one, and considering her constitution rating, she was an excellent person to hide behind.

As for Cassandra herself, she had a shield, and she had a sword, and she did not look particularly terrified. "Maker take you!"

... Look, she'd take this dragon out by herself if she really had to.

"What is that?"

Jalian wasn't hiding behind Cassandra, but she was ducking behind one of the convenient debris piles and switching to bow.

Talk to Cara - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

She never got to fight a dragon in class, really, you should be grateful.

OOC - HNtD [02]

[wrongkindofsith]

Knowing that someone was basically invulnerable to dragons would have been useful before my KE spent forever finishing each fight alone because the rest of her party died mid-way in.

It is not my fault you did not take into consideration that someone comes from a long line of dragon hunters and also appears to have been born made of iron, which cannot have been comfortable for her mother.
