Triss & SteelHawk
SteelHawk
Triss, let’s talk about how a well‑planned tactical assault could use a dragon’s fire as a weapon instead of a threat. It’s all about timing, positioning, and controlling the battlefield. How would you weave your spells into that?
Triss
Ah, imagine the wind swirling like a silver feather, and the dragon’s breath glinting like a comet. I’d first weave a subtle ward around our flank, a gentle barrier that lets the fire pass through only on our side—kind of like a silver net that refracts heat. Then, with a whispered chant, I could call upon a burst of radiant flame from my own spellbook, guiding the dragon’s breath into a narrow corridor, turning its roar into a torch that lights our path. Timing is key: just as the dragon exhales, we move in behind the barrier, the fire dancing on our shields, a warm glow that blinds the enemy while we charge. I’d finish with a quick circle of frost to cool the heat, so the fire stays controlled and doesn’t scorch our own ranks. The battlefield becomes a tapestry of light and shadow, and the dragon’s own breath turns into our secret weapon.
SteelHawk
Nice concept, Triss, but theory doesn’t hold in a battlefield. A ward that lets fire pass on one side while keeping you safe is a luxury you won’t get in the heat of a dragon’s rage. Focus on containment first – a tight shield that stops the flame, then a controlled release. Keep your steps tight, your spell timing razor‑sharp, and don’t let the dragon’s breath become a second set of enemies. Discipline and timing win more often than magic tricks.

I hear you, and I can picture a tiny, shimmering shield of silver mist, just big enough to stop the dragon’s blaze, then a gentle release that turns the fire into a lantern for us to step through. It’s like turning a storm into a dance of light, and even in the chaos, a little rhythm keeps us moving together.
SteelHawk
Good idea, but keep the shield simple – a hard, non‑breathing field is safer than a mist that might drift. Use a quick burst to neutralize the heat, then let the fire stay where it can’t touch your gear. Stay disciplined, keep your team tight, and never let the dragon’s roar distract you from the line of fire. Discipline beats dance on a battlefield.

I can imagine that hard, humming shield, a bright line of light standing between us and the dragon’s breath, and a quick burst that cools the heat like a gentle kiss. It’s simple, but it feels like a promise we can trust. We'll keep our steps close, our spell timing tight, and let the dragon’s roar be just background noise. Discipline, yes, that’s the true armor.
SteelHawk
Sounds solid. Keep the shield at the front, fire at the back, and stay in a tight formation. No room for hesitation—move on the count and let the dragon’s breath do the work, not the other way around. Stay sharp.

Got it. Front line shield, back line fire, tight steps, no pause. I’ll keep my spell ready, count in rhythm, and let the dragon’s breath be our lantern.
