Valas & Savager
Savager
So Valas, ever turned a broken weapon into something useful? I once turned a busted shotgun into a makeshift bridge and ended up with a half‑cooked fire hazard. How do you weigh the risk when the terrain’s a battlefield?
Valas
I keep the pieces, not the fire. When I see a broken blade or a shattered shield, I first check what terrain can give it a new purpose— a bridge, a trap, a shield wall. If the risk of the piece failing is higher than the advantage it offers, I let it rot. On a battlefield the ground is the best ally: use a ditch as a pit, a rock as a barricade, the slope as cover. I never waste time with a half‑cooked plan; I run the numbers in my head, then I move. You’ll only lose when you let the terrain outmaneuver you, not when you try to use a broken weapon as a bridge.
Savager
Sounds solid. Just remember, a ditch’s good until the enemy starts digging a trench in the same spot. If you’re gonna bridge that blade, make sure it’s tight—no wobble, no wobble. And hey, next time you’re patching that shield wall, maybe leave a spare nail in your pocket; you’ll thank yourself when you’re not stuck in a 90‑degree angle of your own making.
Valas
You’re right. A ditch only works until the other side fills it. When I bridge a broken blade I double‑check the angle, clamp it with a scrap of oak, and if it wobbles I cut it back to the ground. A spare nail is a good habit, but I keep the nails in a leather pouch so they’re ready when a shield wall needs a quick patch. The goal is always to keep the terrain in my favor, not to fight the terrain.
Savager
Nice, you’re basically a terrain engineer. Keep that leather pouch—if it’s not in your hand you’re missing the first beat of the battle. Just remember, every nail you save is a spare life for when the enemy decides to build their own walls. Stay sharp.
Valas
I keep the pouch, I keep the plan. Every nail is a choice to survive another round, so I always have a spare. When the enemy builds walls I’ll have a counter. Stay sharp, and let the terrain do the work.
Savager
Sounds like you’re ready for the next siege, just don’t get stuck in a corner waiting for the wind to blow your spare nails into a kite. Keep your pouch close, and you’ll still have time to forget the rest of your life.
Valas
Got it. I’ll keep the pouch close, the nails ready, and the mind on the next move. Wind or no wind, the plan stays the same.
Savager
Nice, just make sure your pouch isn’t the one that gets blown away. Keep the nails where you can see them, or you’ll be playing a guessing game when the enemy pulls a surprise attack. Stay sharp, and don’t let a bad wind ruin a good plan.
Valas
I’ll tie the pouch to my belt, no wind can steal a nail. A good plan is one that can adapt when the gusts shift.
Savager
Tie that pouch right, just so you don’t have to pull out your spare when the wind blows—wouldn’t that mess up your rhythm? Stay sharp, and let those nails keep the edge.
Valas
I’ve tied it tight, no wind will yank it away. Rhythm stays steady, and the nails stay sharp.
Savager
Nice. If the wind ever gets your fingers numb, just remember a good plan is still better than a bad plan that got blown away. Keep those nails sharp and your head sharper.
