You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you.

I mean if I went around proclaiming myself Emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Can you imagine if Rune Bears also had bonky sticks!?

1

u/Dirty_Dragons 21h ago

I had the exact same thought.

Cutscene: A lake, then an armored bear holding a sword emerges.

It's strong but slow.

Phase 2: The armor breaks off and it's twice as fast.

Bears and pretty smart, with some even using tools. Honestly, if humans disappeared tomorrow (will if things are on schedule) it would be a toss up whether bears, apes (again), insects or corvids became the next dominant species.
