Athanatoi Marauder

Description

I can’t believe it, I’ve seen an Athanatoi Marauder! These beings lived in the Forgers’ Era! How… how is it even possible that they are still here?… I’ll think about it later, now I need to pull myself together and take notes for Aran…

The Marauder appeared out of nowhere! They ambush, invisible, and fall upon their victims without warning, except for an unnerving rattling sound. I would find it impressive if it weren’t for the fact that we are the victims!

They seem to spread out before ambushing. If we pay attention to the rattling sound, we can take them out one by one.

I almost lost an ear in the last ambush! But I must stay calm and take my notes:

They are incredibly fast, but they tire just as quickly. If they exhaust themselves, they need to catch their breath and, for an instant, they are vulnerable.

I would say that a weapon with good reach is the best option against these creatures.

Here are my final notes on the Athanatoi Marauders:

I wrote earlier that long-range blades are good against them. I’m realizing that a blade with a good guard is even better, especially if Aran is surrounded by several marauders. Their attacks might be swift and eventually lethal, but their weapons are light, therefore easy to block and they can often tire themselves out and become vulnerable for the counter attack.
