NoiseSpren he/him Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) Nightmaw is told to be as big as tree (and Patji's trees are chullous big) and with beak of size of door. Also skin of it is HARD to penetrate (we saw one die from lucky shot on heart, but it's hard). We all know our dear Chasmfiends. Sounds like same size. Opinions? Can also somebody draw epic picture of it? Edited December 21, 2018 by NoiseSpren
+Invocation Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 What's the environment the fight takes place in?
Lightblood Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I'm not sure if this would be much of a fight at all. Maybe a pack of Nightmaw could fight a Chasmfiend but from what the Words of radiance says about Chasmfiends, the hunters of the chasms would squash the Nightmaws. Nightmaws are said to have beaks as big as doors, from this we can tell that they are larger than a human but their real strength in this fight would be their speed and hunting through the cognitive realm. Chasmfiends are never accurately described in hieght but from in book drawings of shallan we can determine that they are several times larger than a man (and a Nightmaw) When Dalinar fights the chasmfiend on the hunt he has to first cut the legs off using broad strokes. The freakin' legs are tall enough for Dalinar to strike forward and cut them. That means that the leg is nearly as tall as Dalinar. The armor of a chasmfiend takes hours of hammers to break through concentrated on a single spot, and even with its enormous size the symbiotic relationship with luckspren allow it to "float". The coppermind says that "Mathematically speaking chasmfiends fly, as luckspren help make them lighter than they should be. Without them they'd be crushed beneath their own weight." So having armor impenetrable by the nightmaws, being bigger then them, and being faster then they should for their size wouldn't really make this a fair fight. Although I would still love to see the art for it
NoiseSpren he/him Posted December 19, 2018 Author Posted December 19, 2018 Ok. True. I expected too much from our birdy friends. Next turn: Chasmfiend vs the water-big-big-thing from Patji and Pantheon. What now?
CalaCrisp88 Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 You never describe where. On land? Water creature runs out of breath, dies. In water? Land creature runs out of breath, dies.
NoiseSpren he/him Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Ok. Lets teleport whole storming shattered plains in sea near Patji. They are half way under water. Like 20 m water, 20 m air. It stays like that. They can fight in plains or on the edge of them... Now?
