Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20161208173526/@comment-33967668-20171216180003

I quickly grab my wooden sword and shield. So.eone had to charge them head on while they were distracted and I exelled at sword play. I don my white painted camouflage armor and rush out the back entrance meaning to take a detour long way around for a suprise attack from behind. My camo worked wonderfully and I snuck behind the enemy force undetected. I form a few snowballs and throw them at the rival boy but the minotaur dives in the way and takes the hit. How valiant I thought. While my cover was blown and the monsters turned and threw their freezing projectiles. I ran fourth with my shield raised blocking the snowballs as I continually neared the enemy leader. A small salamander stepped in my way and rose a wooden scimitar in challenge. The monsters went back to focusing on the castle while the salamander occupied me. She was tenacious in the one sword fighting style with excellent speed that kept me on the defensive. I was losing time and I rammed her with my shield, knocking her to the ground and giving her stomach a light poke with my blade to show I won the battle. I scooped up snow and threw it at the rival leader and it beaned him in the back of the head causing him to fall off his bicorn mother. I caught him quickly and brought him into a chokehold with by blades edge to his neck to show he is my hostage. "H-help! Mother!" she looked at the situation with disbelief and slowly backed off. "Make the monsters stop their assault! Or your king here gets it!" I nod my head to gesture to the rival boy. The bicorn holds up a fist and yells, "Cease fire!" Snowballs stopped flying on both sides and everyone grew quiet. I started to drag the rival king back to our fort and he squirmed, but not enough to break away. "We will take your king for the time being. Soon we will release him to your faction one again. Until then he is our prisoner. Don't try anything funny and he will be unharmed. Relitively. He won't be hurt any more than he already is." the monsters gave a worried and hateful defeated look. "Wait!" the salamander girl cried out. "Take me in his place!" I raised my eyebrow and kept a firm hold on the enemy king. I couldn't let my guard down. "How come? We could use your king as a little barganing chip. He has cost alot of casualties in his conquest for the stone." "B-because you beat me. I want to be with you." she said. She was a good friend of mine but I had forgotten about salamander/lizardman customs. They treat the people that beat them as their husbands. Crap, how could I forget. "Hmm.....perhaps we can work something out. We could have a time of peace and discuss conditions for your kings release. Or perhaps matters regarding the stone. Very well. You, for him." I release the enemy king from my hold and he runs twords his bicorn mother. The salamander girl comes forth and hugs me filling me with a profound warmth and sense of victory. I raise my sword and speak loudly, "The battle is won and your king has returned safe to you, opposers! May no more blood be shed this day! Go to your homes and enjoy the time of peace after this battle for no side has lost a single soul!" My side cheers and the others go back the way they came. My new salamander prize clings to me and smiles. We go back to the fort and everyone enjoys a hot chocolate.
