OOC: On an unrelated topic, Fenris - your profile pic is creeping me the fuck out. OOC: The way his mouth looks, it looks like he's saying " One pet brutally murdered by a Penguinite! Two pet brutally murdered by a Penguinite! Two pets brutally murdered by a Penguinite!" *pipe organ shoots confetti * "Ah ah ah!" |

Dubstep gun isn't there. It's under the wing.

OON: Ya, but dragons are, again frikin huge. OOC: Have you seen the proportion of the wings to the body in the picture? Those things barely look sturdier than giant chicken wings. Hell if those things aren't just floppy bits of gristle, then most if it has to be straight up flimsy dinosaur bone with bits of muscle at the hinges. (I'm assuming Dragons have hollow bones like dinosaurs, because it'd be hella hard for them to fly otherwise.) A proficient sugar cane farmer could have cut that wing with one or two hacks and hardly broken a sweat, let alone displaced his whole goddamn arm. Hell, the kilij isn't even heavy enough to cause arm-dislocating force, even if Silas did everything absolutely wrong (Including swinging at the shoulder and letting his arm spazz out like an overzealous Gmod ragdoll) and missed the dragon wing, the ground, and every possible fucking target that would have absorbed his swing and kept him in line. |

OOC: Have you ever thought about how big a dragon is? With it's large mass, even the lightest part of it's body would weigh a ton. The only way you're convincing me is if you convince me that the dragon is made of paper.

The only way you're convincing me is if you convince me that the dragon is made of paper. OOC: On the contrary, the dragon in the original item picture has a head approximately the size of the man he's confronting, if not smaller. This is roughly 10% bigger than the dragons in Skyrim, which, as it runs out, weren't that big to begin with, and were probably far outweighed by the mammoths in that game. Silas was under a very spread-out 400-500 pounds at most. This weight, however, combined with the thick armor scales covering it, would make it difficult as fuck to fly, or even lift those wings, without having very thin and/or hollow and/or flexible, soft bones. And, as effective and tough as you can make leather as armor, even the really heavily tanned crocodile hide stuff reaches only the hardness/toughness of wood, which still isn't as good as bone, and the Kilij Easily cuts through bones. Silas is also a man who makes his living fighting things, and has demonstrated several times that he knows what he's doing when he handles weapons. Silas is a hyper-durable super soldier with enhanced strength, a firm, comfortable amount of knowledge of how to swing weapons like the professional he is, and he has a very fucking sharp sword. Given enough good, honest whacks, he can cut through any amount of crocodile leather and giant crab legs, much like the one he was under until now. |

OOC; If you thought he was creepy already, you do not want to see him angry...
Dragons would have to weigh ALOT because of muscle. A birds chest is large, and it's mostly muscle used from the wings. The wings themselves have to have muscle, to keep them steady instead of bending and breaking backwards. And the muscles would have to be bigger still, to support the weight of the scale armor, if it were to have a full stomach, the weight of the added muscle as well. (it does balance out; you get more power from each section of muscle than you do weight) All of that muscle should have lead to a quicker reaction. If not that, then not having been slain so easily - I doubt that anything could penetrate that much muscle and still be lethal. Maybe cripple it and prevent flight, but not kill it. Plus, there's the scale armor that would repel any normal gun or blade (not that dubstepy is normal - just saying it would have lesser effects). I mean, there is a reason why it's listed as 500 frickin coins on the market.

I mean, there is a reason why it's listed as 500 frickin coins on the market. OOC: It's not creepy, it's just slightly less hilarious than the muppet face. Have you looked at the picture of the Dragon? There's no room on those wings for anything except those massive armor plates. If there were muscle on those wings, Silas would have had less of a problem cutting it because that's quite soft tissue when it's freshly dead. Assuming it was all plate and only had enough muscles to control flight. (Which would have been the only thing that required enough force vaguely close to somehow making a 3 lb sword dislocate an entire 10+ lb arm when swung professionally.) And also, the Dubstep gun works by creating huge, deadly bass vibrations that shake organs apart. (That's how sound works as a weapon, unless it's doing something like a brown note, which I'm assuming it doesn't because Derp implies that it's an all-purpose death soundwave) It's true that the muscles may deaden the sound enough to keep the vital organs from being injured, but your dragon is made of muscles and bones and skin, (Which vibrate at their own specific frequencies) not industrial foam. Your dragon would be not only crippled, but likely bleeding internally. Even so, harmed through enormous chest or not, she stated that the dragon's head exploded, which meant that the bass drop landed in the dragon's face. A dragon's head is not made of layers and layers of muscles, it's made like the head of a dinosaur: Out of bone, armor plates, and small facial and neck muscles. While they're great against physical attacks, these are very brittle materials when faced with something that can shake things apart on a microscopic level by vibrating hard enough. Your dragon's armored skull doesn't significantly deaden sound, and it doesn't have the capacity to absorb such energies, it's just not a good insulator. If that dragon gets hit in the head with a dubstep gun, its brain can and will turn into jelly... Or, explode like it did. And muscles do NOT mean a faster reaction time. Reaction time is determined by nervous systems, the complexity and ability of the brain, etc. And given the dragon's ridiculous head to body ratio... Well, I doubt the dragon could even understand your commands or Silas's insults. |

Silas hides under the wingflap with his shield at the ready, waiting for his out-of-combat healing factor to kick in at some point.
