The Veil Knight Rises

Description:
So, today, I was trying to put a couple of sounds together for something. Then I got distracted. This came out. This is a brief kind of introduction for an evil veil knight. Note: I made this in Goldwave and have no ear for the science of sound design. This is just a little fun project that took me an hour or so, and given the time of year we're in, have it for some early Halloween goodness. I'll write a description of the scene below as I picture it.
We begin in a forest clearing, somewhere that can be left to the imagination. Something feels wrong. Though it is summer, there is a bone deep chill in the air. Though there is sunlight, it is muted, filtered through the threads of a thousand souls that you can see from your hiding place in the rapidly rotting trees. As you stand, frozen, a cloud of crows rushes your way, and behind them, shuffling into view, is a figure in tattered old plate, with scratched out symbols you can't be sure of, though you think you perhaps see the symbol of Kuloran. Or some other great city, you're unsure. The figure stands, frozen, and then, shrugs the rusted chain flail it keeps on it's shoulder into it's hand, and strikes at a figure you hadn't known was there. There is no scream. Only blood. The figure stumbles away into the trees. Its hunt has begun.

No sound design experience? You wanna rethink that buddy. Sounded pretty damn good to me!!! Loved it. Sounds like it could be the logo for something.

Yeah I'm a veterin sound designer and I liked this. Great work.

It sounds okay, but if you put this in a game without the explanation, I wouldn't have put together the story.

It's abstract, for sure. I wrote the story after I made it, so I wasn't even trying to fill in an end goal, I just let vibes carry me and put something close enough to it afterwords. Thank you all.

Sounds pretty good, and I love that he pulls out the blades of glory flail haha.

Medieval Melee is a good library indeed.

L blades of glory sounds arn't original what so ever, don't be proud.
Anyways, this is interesting, and really nice fades and all that, so don't be to harsh on yourself on this one. The only thing I'd suggest is instead of it suddenly splattering and then walking, which, is nice too, there should be a little something before, like rocks being shuvvved aside or something, idk if he rises from a grave, but you get the point maybe.

You know, McOi, that's exactly what I wanted to do, but I couldn't find anything good to put in that spot with the resources I have. I knew it was missing something and that's one of the things it was missing. I also wanted him to kinda groan as he moved, like moving was actually painful, but by the time I remembered I'd already faded it out and Goldwave does not have great resources for accident protection.
