MiloNelsiano Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Avalonia supports various flora and fauna throughout its vast landscapes. There are some nomads that wander through Avalonia surviving from their knowledge of the land. While Nocturnus generally gets most of the credit when it comes to deadly plants, (insert tired statement about man-eating-pumpkins) but Avalonia's vast variety of plants include several that are just as dangerous. One such deadly plant is the Fire Shrub. The shrub grows several flowers, whose pistil is shaped like a flame. The flowers' oily nectar is capable of giving severe burns, and can cause combustion of many materials after prolonged exposure. When the nomad known as Toric heard about the Algus invasion, and the rumor that they had a weakness to fire, he decided to set out to harvest some Fire Shrub, should he run into any Algus. As he found a shrub, he saw the Algus approaching. Toric plucked one of the flowers and rubbed it over his blade with his enchanted gardening gloves as his watched the Algus approach. As they approached he watched the green grass die beneath them as they walked, and ice formed on the ground where they had stepped. Snowflakes fell slowly all around as the first Algus approached. Toric cut the first Algus down with a flurry of quick strikes. As the Algus fell to the ground, the ice that had formed at his feet quickly melted before the corpse burst into flames. The Algus behind him hesitated, and Toric used that moment to strike at three more Algus who all fell to the ground in flames as the rest of the Algus fled. Toric picked the remaining flowers from the shrub and some other shrubs in the area before making his way to Osgard to inform the people of his discovery. Quote
TitusV Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Nice build, altough a bit top blocky for me Quote
The Steward Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Very nice! Though I think adding more grass and shrubs would improve the ground. Quote
soccerkid6 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Very clever idea for a way to combat the Algus Makes for a rather pretty plant too Quote
Blufiji Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 What a very clever way to fight the Algus. Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the feedback everyone, glad you liked the shrub idea. Very nice! Though I think adding more grass and shrubs would improve the ground. You're right, but the rest of those pieces were tied up in a different build, and I didn't have the time to make it work. I also wanted a bigger build in general, specifically where the Algus is to show the changing weather, but haven't had the time this month to make it work.
