2.29 SBAT - Weapon Talent

Still clutching its leg, Flora kicked out as well. Her foot smashed under his chin, and its head snapped back with a crunch.

The monster vanished as suddenly as it had arrived.

A weapon rack with one scepter appeared next to Flora, who shrieked again.

"Burned Toast! I will get a heart attack from these magical vanishing and appearing tricks!" She exclaimed. "And please give me two scepters."

A second scepter materialized on the rack. They consisted of a silvery rod and an ornate head. When Flora picked them up, she noticed they weighed quite a bit.

Flora hit the dummy with the damaging and healing beams and even the scepter itself, watched the kin-route, and skipped to the fight.

This time, a monster and a knight showed up in a fifteen-meter distance.

At first, Flora thought something had gone wrong, that the knight was her new opponent, and the Bigfoot had come back for revenge, but then they started fighting with each other. Only when the bars of the knight appeared above his head and on her HUD, she realized that the knight was on her side. So she alternated between healing the knight and pelting the monster.

A full-sized staff with a flaming red crystal on top leaned against the rack for the next trial. Flora shot fireballs from it, and when the monster reached her, she smacked it over his head.

"Not bad!" She grinned. "A magic club might be better, but I had to make do."

Next came the plasma sword. "After you get over the awesomeness of wielding a light-saber, it's a pretty shitty weapon," Flora stated while swinging the sword listlessly. "No parrying possible, no satisfying thud when you hit... I don't like it anymore."

The bazooka raised her spirits. Explosions just had that effect on her.

Thoroughly fed up with throwing, Flora skipped the throwing knives section as soon as she saw them.

Next, two shields materialized on the rack.

"Uhm, do people really fight with two shields, or are you following my wish for a weapon for each hand?"

**************

Both.

"Fair enough." Flora shrugged and picked them up. The tower shields had not only spikes but also sharp edges. When she smashed them together, they functioned as a giant vertical snapping mouth.

Flora had more fun than she had deemed possible. She enjoyed ramming the dummy and later the monster and snapping at their appendages.

"Is this the first new weapon?" Flora asked. Intrigued, she picked up the gloves. They were metal, and blinking LEDs and circuitry gave them a cyberpunky look.

"No, Milady. Your Multi-Tool Scepter counts as a combat-tool as well. You received the ability through it."
