Chapter Four: Hold Onto Hope The journey from Cloudsdale to New Anugypt was a long one, something that weighed heavily on Stygian’s mind as the party continued on its way. Those thoughts gained even more weight, however, due to their newest party member. “If it’s so important that this Siren be defeated, then why aren’t we going after it now?” Flash Magnus had deigned to walk among them rather than fly, though he was doing a poor job of hiding his frustration. “I think that between the four of us, we can defeat it.” Stygian frowned as he led the party onward. “As much as I want to save my home and my friends, I don’t think that we should rush into this. If we only go in half-prepared, we might fall under Basso’s spell as well. And if that happens, who will save us?” “Lad’s right, fancy feathers.” Rockhoof’s tone was firm as he explained, “I’ve learned time an’ again that thinkin’ things through and takin’ your time to do the job right is always the best course of

The "Warrior Skin" is the name informally given to a high-hardness steel and tungsten reinforced composite armor created by the Scientific Military Research Bureau in early 1983. It uses spaced, multi-layered composite armor formed by spacing multiple layers of ceramics, plastic composites and kevlar, reinforced with high-hardness steel and tungsten sandwiched between the layers of the armor. Using several small hexagonal-shaped ceramic-tiles encased within a metal framework and bonded to a backing plate and several elastic layers, the Warrior Skin features the ceramic-tiles encased within the matrix elements either by isostatically pressing them into the heated matrix, or by gluing them with an epoxy resin. The ceramic-tiles are under constant compression by their matrix, which enhances their resistance to kinetic energy penetrators. Featuring a variety of different layer configurations, Warrior Skin incorporates a large volume of non-energetic reactive armor (NERA) plates, with
