Knight Class/Pria/Level 8

One of the Knight Class' optional ninth quests and Advanced Pria Knight Class Training's fourth quest, where you learn the skill Blessed Arrow Assault.

Summary
The third technique that Tathlin teaches is Blessed Arrow Assault, which is a skill that uses the knight's own fighting spirit to conjure arrows to barrage down upon your foes! He also continues the tale of Algern the Shadowknight.

Tathlin tells how Algern was hired by the Demon Queen to commit an atrocious deed, which he carried out. In exchange, he was granted great demonic power that warped and twisted him and his armor. He had gained the power he sought, but at the cost of his humanity. But in granting him this power, Tyranna attempted to twist his mind so that he would forever serve her.

But Algern could not be controlled so easily. His singular mindset to gain power and defeat his former master drove him, and kept him from her service and he has been traveling the world ever since, calling himself a 'shadowknight'. Tathlin leaves the story there for know as the training continued. The Chosen would have to shoot 10 Demon Knights and then pass a stat roll. Then for the final test battle Tathlin.

Dialogue
Tathlin: You are nearing the end of your training. The king is impressed.

Tathlin: I think that, if you can master this next skill, he might be willing to meet with you.

Tathlin: Show our king your skill, and master the Blessed Arrow Barrage!
 * I'm ready!
 * I need more time to think about this. - (Returns you to the Knight menu.)

''If you choose the "I'm ready!" option'':

Tathlin: Excellent! I hope you remembered to bring your Pria Knight armor. You won't be allowed to train in anything else.

You equip the Pria Knight Armour and meet Tathlin on the practice grounds.

«You»: Tathlin, you spoke of Algern having committed an even worse betrayal. What did you mean?

Tathlin: You will know when the time is right. For now, I will simply tell you of the events that transpired before and afterwards.

Tathlin: Algern was hired by the Demon Queen to commit an atrocious deed, which he carried out.

Tathlin: In exchange, he was granted great demonic power that warped and twisted him and his armor.

Tathlin: He had gained the power he sought, but at a terrible cost... his humanity has been lost to him.

Tathlin: Even worse, in granting him this power, Tyranna attempted to twist his mind so that he would forever serve her.

Tathlin: But Algern could not be controlled so easily.

Tathlin: His singular mindset to gain power and defeat his former master drove him, and kept him from her service.

Tathlin: He left her, and has been traveling the world ever since, calling himself a 'shadowknight'.

Tathlin: It is interesting, however, that he has been allowed to roam free....

«You»: Why is that?

Tathlin: ...That is a tale for another time, friend. We are forgetting the most important thing: your meeting with the king.

Tathlin: He is impressed with your quick growth in training, and wants to see you master the Blessed Arrow Barrage.

«You»: Blessed Arrow Barrage? Tathlin: When in battle, commanders would often instruct their archers to target a specific region on the battlefield.

Tathlin: The 'Blessed Arrow Barrage' is typically achieved by having many archers fire a volley at the enemy.

Tathlin: It is not typically designed to kill, but to demoralize an opponent and injure them.

Tathlin: More powerful knights, however, need not drag archers along with them to fight... we can do it ourselves.

«You»: How?

Tathlin: With the magic of our own fighting spirit, of course! Just as you can conjure weapons....

Tathlin: ....so, too, can you conjure arrows to barrage down upon your foes! «You»: This sounds as though it may be difficult. How will I create and control that many arrows?

Tathlin: The same way you have learned other skills: practice, my friend!

''You proceed to a mini game along the fields of Deren. Demon Knights are running rampant! It is up to you to shoot arrows and take them down. Once you have shot 10 Demon Knights...''
