Iron Saviour

Here's my submission for the Iron Saviour CHOW DOWN competition on the Crimson Daggers forum. It took about two weeks of break times and morning hours to make, in total around 10 hrs from start to finish. It was a really fun competiton and I enjoyed participating.

The Iron Saviour of the Ice Clans.

The civilized people of the southern lakes say that the northern savages' will to survive won them the favor of a lesser elemetal god, who gave it's life to be with the people it loved. As the savages themselves do not have a word for love their account is, unsurprisingly, not the same. 

According to them the great chief Huldran decapitated the metal monster during honorable combat and hid the head so that the beast can not wake. Out of the open throat a steady stream of iron is pouring into cold air, providing heat for frostbitten fingers and metal for swords. 

A band of adventurers has been spotted in the northern wild, and rumors say that they are looking for the head. Will the barbarians help or hinder them in recovering the lost artefact? Will the saviour be made hole again and will it take revenge on the people that took it's head? Or is it just a barbarian myth?

Played The Slave-Pit of Drazhu yesterday and made a homage to the Whip Master.

Playing DUNGEONSLAYERS atm, chopping heads and taking names. My love for heavy metal gets to take some expression in this german, high fantasy, fighthing world.

Mage blood blaster: new weapon

What it is
In the legions of the Monster overlords* there are certain commandos that use the beam emitting weapons known as blood blasters. They are fuled by the blood of brain dead mages stored away in military prisons and kept alive by reverse-leaches, to be used as munition plants. 

In times of war where the need for mage blood spikes, the crushing of mages in the huge "juicers" are frequent. 

From the movie ABCs of death 2 (W is for Wish)

Rules

For the use of the gun in play, think about the beam gun at the end of AKIRA. It's charged up and then discharget at a target in a more or less devestating but predictable burst light beam. 

From the movie Akira.

When fired the user says how many points of damage they want to drain from the blood magazine BEFORE making an attack. Hit or miss, the blood points are spent either way. The blood drains by one point per day from magical erosion. 

Each point of damage the weapon can deal is equal to half a point of mage blood. More advanced models can use the mage blood more efficiently.
