Challenge of Blood |
|
Stage 1 |
Location: | Cerrath Caves (Pit) (3, 9) |
A savage axe welding Mutant Warrior stands before you. |
|
You cautiously approach the Mutant. As you get near he swings his battered axe, 'You come no further. We look for new mates, not fight. Go away.' Your heart sinks as you ask him if he has seen a Cyborg walking through here recently. The Mutant laughs, 'We took her, she looks tough. But we will break her. Now go away.'
Anger flares within you, you draw your weapon and step forward. The Mutant stares at you, then throws a Blueprint at you. You stop and pick it up. The Warrior growls, 'You want Cyborg back, you need to take her from the Slaver. I know that it must be hard to lose a friend, so I give you the Blueprint. Make the Nocturnis Battleaxe and give it to the Slaver, he is hiding within his Chamber. Demand a Blood Battle for your friend. A challenge of Blood with the Tribal Axe cannot be ignored in our tribe. But the Slaver is a coward, and will give you the woman if you do it right.'
You receive 1 x Nocturnis Battleaxe Blueprint |

Stage 2 |
Location: | Cerrath Caves (Chamber) (2, 2) |
The chamber is small and stuffy, a thin sly Mutant stands over Dx39. She stares up at you too terrified to speak. Two Nocturnis Guards flank the Slaver, they eye you carefully.
You simply stare at the twisted fool until the Slaver draws a long knife and lowers it to Dx39's throat. 'Come any closer and I'll gut the little Cyborg.' You see the Guards stiffen at his words, they ready their weapons. You know that they are going to attack. |
|
You throw the Tribal Axe directly in front of the Slaver, he goggles at the weapon at his feet. 'What is this?' the Slaver whines and pushes the Axe with his toe. One of the Guards growls, 'The Stranger has thrown down the Lifegiver, so this is a Blood Challenge. You must pick up the Axe and face your opponent. You know this!'
The Slaver glares at you, 'Come now Stranger, how much credits do you have? I can be reasonable, there is no need for such unpleasantness.' You draw your weapon, the Slaver turns to one of the Guards, 'Protect me, I'm in danger!' he shouts. The Guard looks at you, then at the Lifegiver on the floor.
You don't see the swing, just see the Slaver fall and the guards bloody axe left where he stood. 'Stranger, we Nocturnis are not cowards. You offered the honorable Blood Challenge, only your opponent was not worthy of that honor. I guess your price is the female? Take her and leave. May the blood of your enemies flow.'
The other Guard helps Dx39 to her feet. She looks around unbelieving, then quickly bends down and takes her Datapad from the Slaver's corpse. She says quickly, 'Lets leave now Unit.' You follow her out of the blood spattered chamber.
You enter back into the Pit, Dx39 stops and takes a long breath. 'I thought I was going to die. Thank you Unit. Lets get away from these foul people. Meet me in the Bedrock we are almost done.'
You receive 535,180 Xp + 10 Skill Points |
