I had a human named Kuppo Erocgi which I had become very attuned to, and I had become a nigh legendary axeman. I had a bronze halberd I had stolen from a body of an old captain, and I had even contracted Vampirism that I had expertly hidden from all, even though I usually had allies with me (My way of doing things was attacking a camp, sending them in first, and then after they bled to death, choking out the mortally wounded people they had fought and drinking their blood, and nobody lived to tell my secret.) She was by far my favorite champion.
Anyways, I was finally given a quest that would really test my mettle, according to the lord. I was to slay the powerful Atho Guildtrusts, a captain of a dangerous band of bandits. I got as many champions as I could, focusing on hammerers and pikemen so I could sit back and throw sharpened rocks to assist my men.
The battle itself went on for quite some time; The crossbowmen took out two of my people immediatly, and one nearly hit me, forcing me to enter the fray. A few halberd stabs to the eyes, and both crossbowmen were out. Suddenly, the captain himself fired a shot. This one went into my arm, but did not hold. I imagine the pain was incredible.
My final hammerer attacking the rest of the army, I charged towards this 'Atho', My ax ready to taste his blood. One of his men ran in front of him, and I cut him right in half. My bloodlust grew stronger, and I charged for another. By then, my hammerer has lost his arm and was bravely fighting with his sheild, but was about to fall, I could tell, so I went to make sure that those that had taken him would pay for their kill. I took two more shots, but neither were of great matter, for I killed the rest of the camp (Except for one, which I think ran, but I don't know, as my hammerer may have survived, too.)
At this time, I ran for the captain himself; Atho. He fired another bolt, this one hitting me in the arm and lodging in. I realized that I would be unable to stop him from this range, another shot would likely kill me. So, standing my ground, I threw my last two rocks.
Here's the funny part: I had dropped my ax a few battles earlier, and it was no longer bound to my A key; My boar meat was. I don't know how to change how items stack in your bag, and if there is a way, it would have been nice to know when I foolishly threw my halberd right at Atho.
Incredibly, the ax knocked him over. I almost thought I had struck him to the ground, and I stepped up to him, hoping that the auto-attack would end him. I was not going to be able to drink his blood.
Well...
He apparently wasn't, and all I did next turn was smack him with a pouch of meat, and he fired a bolt at my head, killing the (pretty much untouched otherwise) hero instantly. I even pressed the button to move about twenty more times until I realized I had died, and just about exploded.
The thing is, I actually think that I destroyed one of his legs with the shot, so I'm beggining to wonder if, perhaps, he bled to death after making that shot. If so, then that was a movie worthy battle; His final shot killed me, ending my dark secret, but doomed him to a slow death. If he somehow managed to heal from his incredible wounds, then... I just screwed up, big time.
