"Alright, fire!!"
At that command from Tasia, Dawn screws her eyes shut tightly as she pulls the firing rope, body tensing in anticipation.
The shockwave of the heavy mortar going off so close to the lithe Olmakhan Charr still shakes her body to its core.
Tasia of couse is much less affected, the engine-powered armoured mechanical suit not only keeping the heavy Iron Legion lass well-protected, but also steady, even with the enormous weapon held in her hands like others would with a rifle.
She even looks like she is /enjoying/ this.
Much in contrast to Dawn of course, who had only very reluctantly agreed to this.

But these were crazy times, and they /are/ pointing that mortar at a monstrosity the size of a house.
False gods need slaying, and one cannot be too picky about the how... as long as it works.

And a 6-inch heavy mortar shell directly to the face?
Work it did.

Fun scene from a GW2 guild's roleplay that I just had to get art of.
Shooting a Titan in the face with a stationary heavy mortar picked up to be a direct fire weapon was just too fun of an image.
Wonderfully realized as artwork by the awesome Moldypaw !

Dawn Moontail, left, belongs to a friend.
Tasia Anvilbolt, right, is mine.
