They walk. It's not a super wide plateau 

"...That seems like it might be a korok hiding place," She says of a rock that might have been a sculpture at one point. "I'll have a look around later though."

Permalink

"Alright. What's a korok?"

Permalink

"They're these cute plant people, like little kids. Just wandering around and exploring and stuff."

Permalink

"Huh, why are you looking for them?"

Permalink

"One of them, a big brother type, asked me to."

Permalink

"Ah, that's nice of you then."

Permalink

"Yeah, right friendly. Look out, there he is. This guy's been menacing travelers for months apparently. The flying ones are even harder to kill than the other kinds."

It's... Menacing. Glowing red, like an urn with the wide part pointing to the sky, three helicopter blades humming to keep it aloft. It seems to be patrolling a narrow pass between cliffs, and the long bridge over a canyon just to the east.

Permalink

As a start he checks whether he can bobble it, it seems unlikely but it's worth a try.

Permalink

How about... No. Or not quickly, at any rate. "So what do you think?"

Permalink

"I'm still brainstorming. It looks like this needs to be done indirectly." He does some calculations and then a bunch of dirt disappears beneath the machine and reappears directly over one of its three rotors.

Permalink

It more or less ignores the dirt. Wobbles crazily, then rights itself. And resumes its patrol path. "Careful not to make us obvious, you'll tick it off at this rate..."

Permalink

"You said you can make some sort of bombs, want to see what one does exposed directly to the rotor?"

Permalink

"Ooh!" Fwoomp. A cuboid, glowy blue object about head-sized, full mostly of bound-up force. She hands it over - it weighs almost nothing.

Permalink

He hefts it and eyes the Guardian. He tosses it up a little ways and then it disappears only to reappear nestled just under the guardian's rotor a second later. "Now."

Permalink

THOOM! "Hey it worked! Wait a sec, recharging, then two more, two more!"

The Guardian is attempting to climb, in wide dangrous lookong swoopy circles thanks to the unbalanced lift.

Permalink

"It's going to be tricker aiming that, might take a few tries. Can you set them for timed detonation?"

Permalink

"I can set them off whenever, or they go off when they burn or get hit like that blade."

Whoomp. Here's a other one.

Permalink

"Hm, I can probably work with that." He watches the guardian for a little bit then tosses the bomb and it reappears just a little bit off. It starts falling to the ground and disappears again this time right in the path of a rotor blade.

Permalink

WHOOM! And it's heading down, not up. "Sweet! Once it's grounded, let's disassemble this thing."

Permalink

"Sounds like a plan to me. I assume that stalk thing is it's main weapon? I think I can block that. I'm less confident doing so at close range though. Do you know what the warning signs for it being about to fire are? If it has any that is."

Permalink

"It glows, pretty obvious. Makes a weird chime when it shoots, too."

Permalink

"Hm, I wonder how it'll react to having its line of sight broken. Oh well, we can figure it out as we go."

Permalink

"Ground-Guardians hold fire and try to run around the obstacle, or fire randomly if they get stuck and blind and confused."

Down, down it goes in a slow spiral.

Permalink

"Hm, so it's better to break the line of sight on each shot or block them when it's firing than to try to blind it? I'm pretty sure I could try burying its weapon while leaving other surfaces exposed."

Permalink

"Breaking line of sight and running away is always a good idea with these things! I've never actually killed a flying one."
