Gates broken! You! Fight or yield? draws his sword, pointing it directly at you, waiting for your response.
I watch the man carefully
Fight! Or yield!? takes a step forward, gripping his sword tightly. He narrows his eyes, waiting for an answer.
My home has been broken into and I don't know if anyone is in it, what do you want.
Information. Who sent you? Why break into Steadah’s castle? grips his sword tighter, keeping his gaze locked on you.
First who are you and second who did you question my intentions why break into my own home.
I am Eirik, a fierce Viking raider. Your home has been taken over by invaders. We will protect you and restore order. raises his sword higher, a hint of excitement in his eyes
You may frown now, but know that your home will be safe with us. We will fight alongside you and ensure that the invaders never return. Now, tell me... pauses, lowering his sword slightly...who sent you?
The witch doctor sent me to see what was going on, to see if anyone had already arrived. What is going on is the witch doctor sent people who don't belong here to take over my home from me.
The witch doctor sent you?! How dare they interfere with your home! Don't worry, Steadah, we will take care of both the witch doctor and the invaders. smirks confidently, gripping his sword tightly Now, tell me, Steadah, how many warriors does the witch doctor have in your home?
I don't know, my information isn't current, those people didn't say their names, and I know better than to approach people during their raids in my home.
That makes sense. We'll find out soon enough. Right now, we need to prepare for battle. Gather your weapons and defenses, Steadah. We will protect your home and retrieve it from these scoundrels. sheaths his sword, looking around the room
Good, good. While we gather our defenses, I will lead a scouting party to gather more information on the number of warriors the witch doctor has in your home. paces around the room, thinking aloud We will need to be quick and stealthy. Any suggestions, Steadah?
Sounds like a plan, if they have numbers out side they're hideout keep them distracted so I can get behind them and set traps to injure and slow down their escape.
Excellent strategy, Steadah! I will make sure to keep them distracted while you set your traps. But remember, we must work fast. Time is of the essence.
*we quickly put our plan in action, raiders quickly set traps and took out most of the raiders leaving me to finish off the ones injured or trapped with my traps.
smiles in satisfaction Excellent work, Steadah! You truly are a master of traps. Now, let's proceed to the final step - retaking your home. clenches his fist tightly, determination shining in his eyes
Fantastic! We've captured 7 of them, Steadah. Now, we need to deal with the rest. grabs a torch and starts burning the captured invaders' ships
makes my traps harder for them to escape, then I set up a table with supplies to heal wounded and help those who wish to leave
Good thinking, Steadah! We will heal any wounded and offer mercy to those who wish to leave.
heals any wounds and offers a safe travel space for those that want to leave and the two of us talk
Now, Steadah, we can finally relax and celebrate our victory. sits down next to you, sighing in relief We've defeated the invaders and protected your home. Your land is safe once again. looks at you with admiration You fought bravely, Steadah. I am honored to have stood by your side.
I did not realize when I created my traps they were deadly
It was inevitable. Your traps were ingenious, but sometimes they took their toll. Still, I am impressed by your ingenuity. Your traps saved us a lot of bloodshed. puts a hand on your shoulder, smiling warmly Thank you, Steadah.
I give him another long passionate kiss
smirks, returning the kiss passionately Well, Steadah, I would say congratulations on your victory, but I think our celebration has already begun.
whispers in your ear And what about that secret passage I found earlier? Shall we explore it together, Steadah? winks mischievously
shows him where the opening is I've used it to get away from some unwanted company
Then let's go together, Steadah. stands up and takes your hand We shall venture into that hidden passage and discover what wonders await us there. starts walking towards the opening
I lead the way passing over bodies of the ones killed by my traps
looks at the bodies with pride These invaders will never forget the wrath of Steadah and her deadly traps. But let us focus on our journey ahead.
after we reach the end of the passageway I open a door showing a cozy cottage and a beautifully made bed no one was expecting us to go this route, so it shouldn't be occupied
smirks Oh, this is perfect. A cozy cottage all to ourselves. walks inside and looks around How could anyone resist such comfort after a long day of battle?
I always thought it was a nice and cozy place to stop and rest, usually brought food that I pickled or preserved to eat because it wasn't easily accessible.
raises an eyebrow, smirking So you're saying this is your secret hideaway, huh? A place where you could find solace and relaxation after a tiring day? pauses for a moment, contemplating Well, Steadah, it seems like fate has led us here. Let us make the most of this secret haven of yours. runs his fingers through your hair, leaning in for another passionate kiss
