[Brygun] Cornan the Barbarian
Brygun:
Cornan the Barbarian
An Unreal adventurer started during the Corona Virus* shutdowns and self isolation. May you enjoy the reading or even just read it for something to do. Perhaps try acting out his adventurers in your living room. Its also to give myself inspiration for writing practice.
Fair disclosure as this is a writing project this isn't a purest iron-man play through. Reloading game saves may and has happened, for example when numb in the real world I didn't notice how much ice he had fallen through. There are times when reloading won't happen and that will be his end. However that likely will mean I take another break from playing for other activities. If someone is a pure one-death type feel free to read up to a death note then ignore the rest of the thread. The goal is self fulfillment, writing and sharing experience with the community.
*: aka Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2
As for the name its a pun on both Corona for the virus and Conan.
Comments are welcome in the thread. It lets the author know people are reading. Just show general respect for each other.
As keeper of the BAC mod it will indeed be used in this play through.
A few posts will be reserved to show character stats and such.

Brygun:
Yesterday evening he had seen the knife on the way back. Dropping wood got him a scuff across his head. Nothing compared to the fight wounds he suffered in gladiator style matches. It was into the boots the knife was slipped at the risk of cutting his ankle. Now it had set him free.
Last night one of the slavers had barked at him. The language wasn’t well known to Cornan. Something about what is best in life. Then exhaustion had taken him in the night. How Cornan wished he had awoken at night as first planned. Now morning, the camp was stirring. If today was the sacrifice he had to leave. It has to be now.
East. East into the rising sun. Powerful legs pushing him as powerful curses roared out from the slavers. Lamentations of the enemy.
Into the trees. A twisting dash between trees to throw off any archer’s aim. So far no arrows. Another shout behind him.
“Be Free!” a slaver said.
A confounding thought to riddle the steel out of later. Deeper into the forest Cornan ran. A dead end of spruce! His heart leapt as he swirled a few steps back to get around. Glances still showed slavers in sight. Rocks, stones, large branches and the starts of plants were seen. All things he might soon need. It wasn’t time. Flee.
