The Importance of Understanding your Gear

(( DWC May 2024, @daily-writing-challenge, Day 5, Complication/Spicy, CW: mantids get blown up ))

"Alright, draw them in Spiru, we're ready!" Tenwu-of-the-Red-Smoke (cogs above why did he insist on the entire title every time, it was even in her head now) shouted, putting the last barrel of blastbrew in place, and motioning Fei Li into position.

It was a simple plan, perfect for dealing with this particular threat. A massive swarm of young mantid, all instinct, no intelligence, but a grave danger nonetheless had been spotted making its way to the wall, on a path that would surely take it right through the nearby outpost where the Shado-pan's injured were recovering. Tenwuoftheredsmoke (nope, not better without punctuation) and Fei Li had volunteered to handle the situation, with a little help from their newest ally. Lure the bugs into a kill zone, then blow them up with a few dozen barrels of blast brew, eliminating the threat without further friendly casualties. Spiru exhaled, then began to channel the mists, waving them over the piles of meat she'd gathered from the local wildlife. The scent, combined with a little bit of magic, would draw them in like troggs to a shiny rock. She directed the vapors over the hill, to where the swarm was beginning to pass. Within moments, the ground began to rumble as the newly born mantid, ravenous and mindless in their violence, changed course and began bearing down towards Spiru. She jumped back several times, maintaining her channel to lead them right over the barrels.

"Perfect, just like that!" Tenwu-of-the-crimson-cloud (No one said she couldn't have fun with it) declared. "Firecracker, do your thing!"

Fei-Li giggled ominously as she called fire to her hands, then launched it at the blast brew barrels. The blazing flames splashed over the barrels... and did nothing besides blacken them.

The three blinked, then looked at each other. Fei Li made an angry sound, and launched more flames, causing little more than black patches to appear on the barrels. "What is going on?!" Tenwu-of-the-confused-visage demanded, "why aren't those barrels burning?"

"Are you certain they are the correct barrels? There were many similar types among the supplies," Spiru ventured.

"No, these are definitely the blastbrew barrels!" Tenwu-the-increasingly-concerned answers, as Fei Li rapid fired fire spells at the barrels in frustration. "I don't understand, unless..... oh no. These are the reinforced barrels! We need to pierce them to expose the brew to the flame!"

"Well then," Spiru said, summoning healing mists to surround Tenwu-of-the-Red-Smoke (He could have that one this was going to be dangerous), "I will cover you as best I can."

Tenwu-of-the-Red-Smoke gripped his sai, and sighed. "Sometimes I wish I wasn't the greatest. HEEEEEEYAH!" he shouted, leaping into the swarm that was beginning to cover the barrels and meat, slashing and kicking his way through to the barrels, Spiru surrounding him with a cocoon of mists and ki to protect him. The mantid swarmed over him, excited at the prospect of moving prey, but among the chittering, the spray of blast brew that emerged from the pile was unmistakable. As Fei Li began to laugh maniacally, charging a massive pyroblast to ignite the brew, Spiru engaged the magical gems in her boots, and pulled Tenwu-the-covered-in-mantid-guts free from the swarm. He had a front row seat as he was pulled towards Spiru even as the pyroblast flew in the other direction, missing him by inches to land within, and finally get the reaction Fei Li had been promised. The firey inferno that resulted quickly spread throughout the area, searing and burning the mantid, leaving only a scattered few to disperse, far less of a threat now without the rest of the clutch.

"FINALLY! Oh, I -needed- that," Fei-Li cheered, jumping up and down and laughing at the firey inferno she'd unleashed. Tenwu-of-the-red-smoke coughed a bit at the decidedly -not- red smoke that was beginning to fill the air, and motioned for the trio to return to base camp.

First commission of the new year is Dylan Grimmkell in his new updated Shado-Pan look by the amazing @warchiefeny! Thank you so much.

I wanted to give his new look a mix of both the his OG Shado-Pan look and some of that awesome coat action that comes from Gilneas. He also now has tooth rings in Gilneas and Shado-Pan colors, a wolf/worgen shoulder piece and an official Shado-Pan belt buckle.

Xiāng Han Snowberry. My shado-pan monk. Wanted to give him a pink nose because his design was so dark already. Kinda digging it a lot. He's gonna have stripes on his wrists as a sort of tattoo.

Book of Shado-Pan. My final work from CG Basic courses. I'm proud of it. =w=
