Got together a group of 6 brave men(I wanted 10, but couldn't find that many), and led them through the woods to a(n) Njerpez camp. I equipped all of them with a javelin and stone axe, though most did probably have better weapons.
We sneak close to the nearest kota, before one of the sentries spotted our group. "Attack, Juhani! Attack!" I called to the man nearest to me. Despite a brave attempt, we ended up being scattered quickly. Although two of my men managed to take down and kill one of the Njerpez, I ended up fencing with axes against two, my splitting axe against one with a woodsman's axe and the other a handaxe, before one with a club started striking me from behind.
Thinking I had disabled the one with a handaxe, I turn to the clubber. After trading a few blows, I recieve a handaxe from behind. An axestrike to my hip sends me to the ground, but luckily, they think me out of the fight and leave me to battle my companions.
Through the blinding pain, I take a moment to survey what I can of the battlefield. It's not going well. Poor Aino, the old bastard, lost an eye, and a few other guys were hurt. We killed one Njerpez and badly wounder another that I could see, but there were too many.
Ahead, I see one Njerpez standing atop a hill, surveying the battle as I am. Even though I am down and hurt, the battle certainly lost, I'm not done. I take one of my remaining stone axes and send it through the air. Although my pain and wounds interfere with my aim, the axe, as if carried by the spirits themselves, strikes true, cleaving my enemy's skull, killing him in an instant.
Unfortunately, this draws the attention of the other Njerpez, clearly infuriated that they ignored me, causing the easily preventable loss of one of their own. Stopping first to finish off Miko(I don't think it was spelled that, but I forgot exactly what his name was), they swarm over me. Despite a brave attempt, I'm overwhelmed, my pain drawing me from consciousness. I'm still alive when I wake up, but not for long. A last-ditch axe-throw(failure) is met with the rest of them running me through. I die with the sounds of a lost battle in my ears.
Unreal World. Oh well. I did backup the savefile, though.
Oh hi Mannimarco, how are you doing AHHH WHY DOES HE HAVE SUCH HIGH-LEVEL BURDEN AND SILENCE SPELLS?
Supposedly, carrying Traven's soulgem makes you immune to that? I don't remember, and Mannimarco's spells never actually seem to hit me anyway. Then I simply run him through with a claymore, the way the new head of the Mages Guild should fight.
Fun fact, burden has NO effect on NPCs.
