What-if: GoldGolem

[Tassadar]

Same idea as the first one. A what-if for GGs character, the hypothetical idea being that his character won the fight against that demon knight and kept the gruff warlock Domon alive. No stats for this one yet though, I'm lazy and it was meant to be mostly for RP.


Domon panted, staring down at the demon knight fallen before him. Their friends and allies, Bob the troll, and the two dumogi Gleep and Gloop, had been slain in combat with the demon at his feet and its allies. But he and Eva still stood, though both were wounded. The gruff wizard glanced around for other threats while Eva herself recovered from the vicious fight. They had won by the skin of their teeth, and at high cost, but they had at least vanquished the demons.

Eva coughed, standing up and gripping her stomach in pain. She dropped her sword as she looked at the sight of her dead allies, sickened by the sight of their blood and guts. The girl quickly looks away from the dead troll and dumogi as she approaches the Domon. " Domon, are you alright? " she suddenly asks him. After seeing the hit he had taken with the demons mace Eva had been very concerned, even afraid that he would fall and die like the other three had. Eva herself felt exhausted after the abuse she had taken.

Despite the strike that Domon had taken from the demons mace, he didn't seem too badly injured. Remembering how events had played out, Eva realized that it had only been a glancing blow, and that the gruff had avoided the brunt of the damage from the demons strike. Still, her concern for the fey did not waver, even though Domon replied; "I'm... I'm alright...." In a strong, firm voice.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

Even though he claimed to be alright Eva was still worried, even scared. Not just about Domon himself, but her own life. " Neither of us will be alright if we run into more demons..." she said, her worry certainly staying unchanged, " What do we do now Domon? " she asked. Eva was looking to the wizard for leadership and guidance. As shaken up as she was now she could hardly think.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

"Now... We need to get away from here. The spirits of our fallen comrades need no tending to, since the demons were defeated, but we are still not safe. We must find a secure place to rest for a while, and swiftly." Domon replies, and looks around before turning in a seemingly random direction. He motions for Eva to follow and begins walking swiftly, casting his gaze about in search of danger. The warlock looked tired, as though his wounds and use of magic had drained him to the point of exhaustion.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

When he motions for her to follow Eva begins, but then remembers dropping her sword. She quickly runs over to pick it up, not taking her time with this, and then goes to follow Domon at whatever pace he was going at. Eva herself felt weak, though from what she saw not nearly as bad as her warlock leader. If they found shelter she would have to help him with his wounds and likely tense muscles. Her mother had once taught her a way to help men relax, a technique she used frequently on the girls father.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

After retrieving her weapon, Eva follows Domon down the street, the warlocks pace easy enough for her to keep up with. Eventually, he stops in front of a large house, and then glances around for a moment. Finding that the coast was clear, he cautiously proceeded inside. The room beyond was poorly lit, with only a little bit of sunlight making it inside from the early morning, but Eva thought that it looked empty, at least for the moment. He glanced about briefly before proceeding upstairs, once more motioning for Eva to follow him.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

Eva slowly shut the door after stepping inside the house. Her blue eyes darted back and forth in an attempt to spot something. After almost being ambushed so many times she couldn't help but be so cautious. Though she stops once signaled by Domon to followed him. On edge, she followed the wizard, trying to detect any signs of anything that might be in the house besides them.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

Domon likewise remains cautious, and the two cautiously proceed up the stairs, pausing every few minutes to listen for any sounds of movement. The house is seemingly safe, however, and Domon eventually reaches the top of the stairs and turns toward a door. He slowly pushes it open and steps inside, casting his eyes about for enemies, before nodding back to her, indicating that the room was safe. Once she steps inside, Eva would find herself in what seemed to be a womans bedroom, with a fairly large bed in one corner and a vanity mirror on one wall.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

Quietly closing the door behind her Eva begins to unhook her equipment belt, getting all of her things off of her and letting them fall to the floor. Scooting them against the wall she would walk over to the vanity mirror and gaze into it, looking at her somewhat bruised and beat up body. Lowering her head she quietly curses herself for doing so poorly in the fight, swearing to do better next time she crossed blades with a demon. 'Bob, please forgive my foolish choices...' The girl suddenly sighs heavily, remembering the choice she had made in mid battle, choosing to kill the demon warrior instead on trying to stop the other foe from murdering Bob.

"Domon..." Eva suddenly spoke aloud, looking back to him. Quietly she walks back over to him. Her eyes are filled with emotions, sadness, regret, concern. She's place a hand gently on the wizards shoulder, remaining quiet, unsure what else she could say.

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

When she looks in the mirror, Eva finds herself surprisingly unharmed, with no bruising or other injuries that she can see. She is lsightly dirty, but nothing too bad. When she turns toward Domon, she finds the gruff looking at her, his expression blank, until he says, quietly; "It wasn't your fault. There was nothing either of us could have done to change the outcome of that battle. It was good that you did what you did, otherwise all of us would likely be dead."

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

"I... Thank you Domon."

She will then take her hand off of the wizards shoulder, taking a seat nearby on one of the pieces of furniture. Her mind then began to swirl with questions, wanting to know just who those demons were and what they had planned on doing once they were victorious. Did Domon know these answers?

"...What did those things want to do to us? Were they just looking for battle..?"

Re: What-if: GoldGolem

Domon remains standing, remaining silent for a moment as he contemplates how to answer Evas question. Eventually, he sighs, and sits down before saying; "Those demons were probably going to kill me. You however.... they would have taken as a slave, and used to feed off of, and make more cannon fodder. I'm sorry that I have to say it so bluntly..... But it must be done so. We may not get so lucky next time we have to fight their kind, Eva."
