Legofin2012 Posted October 15, 2016 Second build for my character story, explaining his 2 year absence, part 1. A few days after part 1. After waking up with an excruciating headache from the knife hilt, the second thing I noticed was the icy cold I'd woken up to. The sound of footsteps and something being dragged across the snow could also be heard. My body had been wrapped in a nearly soft cloth, presumably to keep me from freezing to death, and had been tied down, my head still in the bag they put on me what I'm guessing must be a few nights ago now. I was laying on something hard, but not as cold as stone, so wood, that would also explain the dragging sound, I was tied to a sled. Yet no horse could be heard, only men, remembering the two men who attacked me in my room; large brutes, but strong enough to pull a heavy sleigh through the snow in such temperatures for days on end? What kind of men was I dealing with, barbarians, savages...? Counting the times we stopped assuming they were nights, it had been just over a month, dragged through the snow on a sled with little food and water. The first week I'd struggled, trying to find a way to untie myself and escape, a cold cylindrical object regularly bumped my head through the sack, a sword hilt? But after that, the cold, the lack of food, water, and very little sleep, I felt close to death. It almost got my once, they'd placed me on a boat, and the rocking motion without any sense of direction almost made be very sick, nearly throwing up inside the bag, which would not have ended well. I couldn't help but noticed how the temperature continued to drop, meaning one of two things, we were going up into mountains, but we haven't climbed any substantial slopes, or we were going North, very far North. So like I said, taking a break from AoM to continue my character story a bit. -Thanks for looking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exetrius Posted October 15, 2016 Great scene with very nice features! The frozen pool, rock pillar and the packet of snow in general are really nice, I also like the fairly ornate sled. Nice to see your story continue, I'm curious where they are taking him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henjin_Quilones Posted October 15, 2016 Very nice winter scene! (You must have watched SK's snow tutorial...) The sledge itself is great, filled with clever uses and nice details. The iced-over pond is a great detail, too. The man pulling the sledge must be a true Mitgardian, though, with ice flowing in his veins to withstand the cold with no shirt or pants on...

Thanks, (admittedly I did, but I'd pretty much finished this by the time I read it anyway ) the sledge probably took the longest to figure out, surprisingly awkward shape! Well we'll all find out soon enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
