Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Broog is going to demonstrate with Khai that chain thing he was talking about before. I take it your conversation with the old dragon was not as pleasant as I had hoped?"

before glancing at his daughter.

"Okay now I want you to try and see what broog is doing. so pay attention. I want to see how much you can get about what is going on."

Before giving his nod to broog to go on ahead.


Broog gave Malikhai a grin.

"Yous have kiddies. Da Elves Always haves kiddies."

before his arm shot forward flicking his wrist and the chain went sailing in a line, momentum shooting it off his arm and grabbing the chain at one point and swinging it to the side as well in a huge arc while summoning it back like a whip by snapping his wrist up and the other and the other snapping the chain to the side and slinging it forward in a similar arc, effectively covering a near 180 degrees in front of him with heavy swinging chain.

Broogs chains whipped around moving his arms and body in odd little contortions, even seemingly to show off by letting the chains sail under his legs or twisting his body a bit...though an experienced fighter would notice all the seemingly odd motions or showing off was also keeping the chains gathering and using momentum to keep speed and force going fairly strong. the whip like motions threatened to entangle hands, feet, arms or legs, and trying to get in too close was difficult with the constantly flow of the chains around their wielder. and as he'd shown in the opening motions, he was more then able to fire those weights in a straight line, and enough force and enough weight he could break bone and tenderize flesh.

Made one wonder what someone could do with all the various hooks and blades sets that Tremor had crafted.


Malik was afraid of that. but he had a suggestion.

"Broog is fighting using chains. if you can hear them, see if you can gauge where they are going, how they are moving."

Broog's chainwork was something, and who knows how long the ogre had worked on and perfected this technique. and he wasn't trying to injure Malikhai or even cause him damage. But he knew when enough was enough. and after several more minutes of making Malikhai dance around, Broog snapped back and forward both wrists hard. the chains whipped back high in the air and swiped down, the weights hitting the dirt not too far from malikhai and almost touching. someone under those would probably have their heads caved in.

Now would have looked like a perfect opening. the chains extended and in the dirt. but another hard snapping on his wrists and the chains, like a whip, snapped back on themselves and to their owner, broog catching the chain ends in his hands a little under the weights.

Now he had chain around his person, and the weights could still be used close combat like clubs.


Malik was impressed. unlike how most thought, broog was not an inheritance or raised from childhood slave. Broog had been an acquirement. and cheap becuase of his seeming retardation. Of course it had turned out to be more of an autism, as while broogs childlike mind had made him a poor Breaker...the precision and delicate work of jewelcraft had been simple for him. this method of fighting seemed to appeal to that side, as using the chains in that manner also required a precise knowledge of where and how they were moving at all times.

Though watching his daughter seem to catch the motions and movements with a little effort and then her smiles and giggles as she obviously had been able to do what she'd been asked. this method might work for her as well. you didn't have to see the chains, you just had to know how they were moving. the demonstration had shown that. broog hadn't taken his eyes from Malikhai and yet was able to control and wield the weapons easily enough. Yes, this could work to give his daughter a powerful and effective defense if her magics didn't cover it.

a look at his daughter.

"Is what broog is doing something you'd also like to learn to do?"


Broog gave a chucke.

"yous knows whos Broog fights fer. yous no worries on dat."

"We can try to teach you. But I bet it will not be very easy for you to learn. But we can always try it, with your mother's permission."

looking over at Kieran.

"Did you enjoy the show?"


Broog gave a simple nod and rewrapped the chains...probably another drawback to them but really if you were wrapping them back up probably everyone around you was dead, dying, or unconcious anyway....before heading back to the work below. more shinies to make and metal to etch and engrave.

"now the fun part. trying to figure out how to teach someone physically blind how to do that. Broog might be the best teacher but I'm not sure he'd be able to handle that. I'm hoping that Piper's expertise with whips and such might help more. You know anyone that practices anything remotely similar to that fighting style?"

Glancing at his daughter and his wife.

"Alright then we'll add it to your studies. remember your still learning your necromancy. we're not trading one for the other, and if we have to give one up, this is what will give up. necromancy studies first."

Oh wouldn't that be amusing.

"Sevilin hmm? you think he'd know about this kinda thing..."

one could almost see that evil glint to his eyes in amusement, Before looking down at his daughter.

"Well lets see. how about we see if Sevilin can help with this. you want to go ask him?"
