gaia_crown Defence Base
Location - Antarctica
Description - Positioned on the cusp of titan territory, the Antarctic base is a fortified and sprawling hub of hunter activity. The hunters here have been here for a long time and are prepared to endure whatever is thrown at them. Even beating them back here is no guarantee that several weeks down the line they won't be back again.
Breaking the shield brings out moon hunters to defend.
Shield HP - 20 per person
Mob to spawn - Moon Hunter (if more than 3 people, Specialised Hunter)

A harsh cold environment was the sort of place Bjornbrandr thrived in, and after regaining consciousness in the mild temperatures of The Dusk, it was a metaphorical and literal breath of fresh air to feel the wind whip his long hair and beard back again. The hunter base was just a bonus prize.
He was paired with a cruel looking Famine horseman on this mission, but then, most of them always took that look to the guardian. Must have been the sharp skeletal features they tended to have. "If you are cold, friend, I can lend you my cloak," Bjorn told him congenially as they approached the base. The wind was howling particularly fiercely now, and the snow was heavy. Good: it would mask their approach.

The environment was far from ideal for the famine sage, who was loathe to partake in the mission but found himself with little choice otherwise. As the human garb he had been provided would have been nowhere near sufficient to block out the chilled air combined with a biting wind, he had wrapped himself in almost every robe and fabric he owned, and still he shivered beneath it all, hunched down, hood pulled low, his single eye the only part of him truly visible, and that just barely. He looked, quite frankly, like a walking pile of filthy rags, but gave less than zero shits about it. "No thanksss." He rasped, voice dry and muffled behind his many layers, the words barely a whisper that could have easily been carried off by the wind without being heard, but he shook his head as well, marked by the shift of his heavy garb. Giving the barrier around the hunter encampment a steely eyed once over, the Sage eventually summoned his dual blades tethered together by a long, thin chain, and moved forward to attack it's surface.

Bjorn nodded, wondered if the horseman could even feel anything at all, he was so bony, and summoned his weapon. Aiming for a different part of the barrier, he gave an investigative poke and found nothing for purchase.
"Do you remember anything that happened the day before?" he asked conversationally. Destroying bases was something of a routine.

He had to remind himself that he wasn't just here because he was told to be, and that there could be benefits for himself as well. Poke the ants nest enough times, and the inhabitants were sure to come scuttling on out to protect what was theirs. He only needed one, though, to take back and conduct his research on. Dead or alive, it didn't really matter. He gave the barrier a few more wide strokes with his blades, a whirlwind of force spurned on by the promise of another specimen to harvest from within, but cringed when the other horsemen spoke, his lip, hidden, raising from his teeth in a sneer. Of course, he always got saddled with the talkative ones. " No." He replied, short and simple. "Now, are you planning on being ussseful, or are you jusst going to ssstand there?"

In response, the large war axe bit into the barrier, still casual.
"And that does not bother you?"

He remained silent, before finally saying. "I have not ssseen my partner sssince awakening or our child." That was to say, he was more bothered by that than he was the memory issue. He struck at the barrier a couple more times with an irritated snarl. Niff - Stage 2 FamineHP: 50 Damage: 11 Barrier HP: 9

"You have a child?"
This was the wrong thing to mention if he did not want a conversation. Bjorn immediately brightened.
"Please, tell me of it!"

"It hass been trouble sssince the day it came out of it's basssket." The Sage hissed, though was that just a hint of fondness in their tone? "If you are thinking of having one, I do not recommend it." Nnif added on, "They interfere with work." Another swift clash of steel against the barrier, and a pointed glare directed the other horsemen's way. Niff - Stage 2 FamineHP: 50 Damage: 4 Barrier HP: 5

Bjorn chuckled as he chipped away at the barrier. "I cannot imagine what a newborn foal's difficulty must be. But I have a daughter - not of my blood, but adopted from Conquest. She is the warm hearth in a winter's cold embrace," he said fondly. "But as fiesty as a a brew of firebreath."

"How very sssspecial, for you." He replied, voice dry (but really, when was it not?). Apparently tired of doing all of the grunt work himself, he sat this round out. Niff - Stage 2 FamineHP: 50 Damage: 0 Barrier HP: 4

"She is very special," Bjorn gushed as he tore away the last of the flickering barrier's strength with a wide swing. "As I am sure yours is. My daughter's name is America. I do not know why she shares the name of the human landmasses, but I have no doubt she will one day conquer them as her own."
It was clear he wanted his partner to indulge him with some more information about the babe, but it was around then that one of the hunters finally came out to deal with them. "Ah! Finally."

The barrier broken, Nnif stood back, and hefted his blades in two hands, long, thin fingers wrapped tightly around their handles. "Sssomeone is approaching." His dry, muffled voice hissed, as indeed, it appeared they might finally have an actual fight on their hands. The sage wasted no time in twirling his blades at the hunter, low in an attempt to knock it off of it's feet. Nnif - Stage 2 FamineHP: 44 Damage: 11 Barrier HP: 0 Hunter HP: 59

Bjorn hefted his heavy weapon with a grin as their opponent approached. Nothing beat the arctic temperatures like a battle, although he was disappointed to see only one was checking out the commotion. Ah well. He was planning on visiting a few more bases before the day was done anyway.
The hunter yelled something snarky. Always sarcastic, these so-called defenders of man. He missed the days of old, when combat was a respected activity. Modern day humans were all about irony and nihilism.
As the hunter tried to dodge his partner's attack, Bjorn bore down on them with his war ax. "You are a slight thing!" he said, tutting. "They do not feed you well, your commanders. It will be as if we cut a branch and not a tree."

Nnif was sort of hoping that by not really talking himself that it might somehow make the other horsemen stop talking as well. No such luck. "I am not sssure that it caress what you think." The Sage shook his head with a sneer, and sidestepped an incoming attack, to ram the handle of his weapon into the back of the hunters head. Only to be whacked back in response. Wiry or not, this one was strong. Nnif - Stage 2 FamineHP: 38 Damage: 5 Barrier HP: 0 Hunter HP: 49
