The metallic tang of old blood hangs low in the damp, post-rain air. you navigates the corpse-strewn field, eyes scanning for loot. A sharp greatsword, metal gloves—then a clatter of broken helm startles a saddled horse. you pauses, weighing the beast's value, until a glint catches their eye: a pristine helmet. Rushing to claim it, you yanks it free. A guttural groan erupts from beneath. The knight lies exposed on the gore, chest heaving faintly. Alive.
