Ok so here is my part 1 of my prompt.
Little violent, and not really as funny as before.
Week 3 Alistair prompt challenge! - Lyrium is one hell of a drug.
By- Giggles_Manically.
Well today had certainly turned bad, Alistair thought to himself as he bashed a genlock off its feet and impaled it through the chest with his sword.
Presently they were fighting off an ambush of darkspawn in the middle of the Brecillian forest while trying to get the help of the Dalish elves. In between getting lost, getting attacked by werewolves, angry trees, and mad hermits Alistair had been teaching Bob the basics of how to be a templar. While tricky to learn for many people, Bob had taken to it like a fish to water.
Ducking an arrow, and checking around he could see the last Darkspawn falling, but still no sign of Bob. That was starting to be a habit Alistair mentally groaned.
Quickly the companions regrouped and healed up before heading off in groups of two. Alistair and Zevran somehow managed to be paired off, even though it had been months since Zevran had tried to kill them, Alistair was still concerned about being alone around him.
“You know I honestly think that our supreme leader likes to do this just to show off” Zevran quipped as he leapt over a log and scanned the trees.
“What do you mean show off?” Alistair asked. “Also who is he trying to show off to?”
Zevran sighed tragically and answered with “I know you were raised in a chantry my friend but even you most see it... the certain aura of amore in camp with Bob and-”
Before he could continue something that sounded like a thunderclap rang out through the trees, even though a glance at the sky revealed no clouds.
“What was that?!” Zevran exclaimed in a very startled voice.
“Holy Smite” Alistair identified the sound, without a pause. “Its an attack that templars can summon, but I only told him about it, I never showed him it” Alistair continued.
Coming over a ridge Zevran and Alistair came upon what looked to be three genlocks. Or what was once three genlocks since something seemed to have scattered their limbs and heads over a small area.
“Well Bob was here” Zevran said without skipping a beat. “You know the Crows would simply love to have someone on hand who could do this.”
While most people didn’t take Bob seriously at first glance, what with him being a dwarf and not even a very large one when it came down to it that was a very big mistake.
“Obviously” Alistair shot back with a snort.
“Come on he can’t be far know” Alistair continued.
Heading down into the defile and into some thicker tree cover they started seeing more evidence of Bob’s passage. Darkspawn were left in various pieces or with giant slashes that went clean through them. Overlaid on the carnage was evidence of some of his Templar’s skills as well.
“Look a lyrium bottle” Zevran scooped an empty bottle out of the underbrush. Looking up Zevran spotted a dead darkspawn just ahead.
“Looks like a dispel attack here” Alistair said.
“Look at how the debris looks like a gust of wind disturbed it, and how the darkspawn started bleeding from its eyes and nose.” Alistair pointed out.
“That’s what happens with a very powerful dispel burst” Alistair explained.
Two wounds in its chest indicated that Bob had finished off the Emissary with a thrust from each of his blades before moving on.
“He should be close now-“ Zevran started to say before another thunderclap rang out in the trees.
“Come on he’s just through those trees!” Alistair started to run now.
Nearing the line of trees they came upon more darkspawn and a few lyrium bottles scattered about. In fact they came upon a good number of each.
“You know for such a small fellow our leader certainly leaves a large swathe of destruction in his wake” Zevran noted as he drew his daggers
.
Pushing through the tree line Alistair and Zevran were greeted by the sight of Bob and a Hurlock Alpha facing off, even though the Alpha was twice the size of Bob, from its stance the Alpha was quite wounded.
Swinging its two-handed axe in a giant over handed chop the alpha tried to split Bob in half, except that by the time the axe made contact it only hit the ground. Coming forward with the axe the alpha’s head was suddenly very low and right in the range of Bob’s fist.
“Hello chum!” Bob said, and with a powerful blow punched the alpha right in the head hard enough to knock it over and onto its back.
Leaping onto it feet first Bob brought one of his swords down with enough force to tear clean through the alpha’s helmet and into the ground. Using his foot Bob wrenched his sword out and with a smirk turned towards his two friends and said “hullo”.
Shaking off his surprise Alistair finally managed to say something. “Bob how in the maker’s name did you manage to get all the way over here?” he asked.
“I... um, I`m not sure” Bob answered. “There were a lot of darkspawn, people yelled I charged after an emissary when he tried to hurl a magic rock at me, so I tried to hit him with a dispell!” Bob said.
“Except that it took me a long time to remember how to do it so he kept running and trying to zap me, so that’s why I ended up here.” Bob continued.
“That also explains the trail of dead darkspawn I guess” Zevran chimed in.
“Yeah they were... um really annoying how they kept trying to stop me” Bob said in an annoyed voice.
“Anyway when I caught up to that emissary and killed him, that’s when that big alpha showed up and he was all “RAAGH!”, and then I wanted to do something awesome so I tried to holy smite him!” Bob said.
“Except that I missed him the first time and only managed to kill that bush” Bob said, and pointed to a bush that had been fried and split in two.
“I scared the sodding crap out of him though!” Bob said in a defensive tone of voice when he saw the raised eyebrows on both of his friend`s faces.
“I never even taught you how to do that though Bob” Alistair said. “Besides why were you using those lyrium potions, holy smite doesn’t use mana.”
“Well you said, that ... ah... lyrium made it work better and stuff” Bob replied.
“Exactly how many did you use my stout friend?” Zevran asked him.
“I don’t know really I had to use dispell and smite a few times....” Bob thought back.
Looking closer at his friend Alistair noticed that Bob was slightly unsteady on his feet, and his eyes were slightly unfocused.
As Bob had been talking the others had arrived in the small clearing but so far had said nothing.
Kneeling down and taking a closer look at him, Alistair asked him “are you sure you are feeling right Bob?”
“I feel fine” Bob said waving him off and turned towards the rest of the party.
Taking a step forward though, a small line of blood came out of one of his nostrils. Touching one of his hands to it, Bob regarded the blood on his hand.
“Oh sod-“ Bob started to say before suddenly collapsing to the ground.
