Arkalion: Tales of Water and Iron

Sofia quickly sneaks behind the guard before grabbing him in a choke hold with a dagger to his neck.


In the last hour she had explored the floor, trying to find the armory and the map, while eavesdropping patrols for clues.


She quickly pulls the guard to a corner and interrogates him.


The man quickly told her where the armory is and interrogation chambers being on the upper levels. Where she chokes him till unconsciousness, takes his keys, and hide his body.


A few minutes then passed before she reached the turn to the armory which station two guards armed with a pistol, sword, and hauberk without helmets twenty feet away.


She takes out a flashbang, pulls the pin and, after a few second to concentrate, release the spoon.


She counts the five seconds till it detonates. Then throws when it reaches two. And charge upon the grenade's detonation


She quickly strikes both in the jaw with her cudgel. Then quickly open the door, bound and gag them and drags them into the armory.


She then finds and dons a gambeson as close to her size and grabs the guard arming sword, as it was better than using a shortsword even if she was untrained in it, before taking their keys and locking them inside.


She then sneaked to the ground floor and look to her surrounding, she is in the wall corridor next to the sparsely patrolled courtyard, when a guard suddenly burst out the room next to her and ran towards her in a panic.


She, by reflex, sidestepped him and slammed her palm to his chin followed by knocking him down with a kick behind his shin.


She then unsheathes her sword when she heard the following footfalls and face her would be attackers.
