  1. Nadia and Saber

     

    /That sounds fine to... wait. Hold on a moment Saber./ Nadia thought she heard movement somewhere nearby the path, which could only mean someone else involved in the war. No bystander would want to be anyhere near this, whatever had made this was a power that most would have no business being in the vinicity of. So, it was clear that whatever the sound was it had to be another Master or a Servant.  The dark provided by the storm was the perfect cover for her to hide her movements. The darknessfrom it would also aid her casting much like the night.

    She got closer trying to see if she could make out anything more without revealing herself. She could hear some voices... so masters at least, whether servants were present was another story. She couldn't make out the words entirely due to the storm, but she did hear "Berserker". She looked over the ensamble there, 3 figures. Nothing looked particulary like a Berserker, but perhaps that was assuming too much? Regardless, it seemed some sort of deal was being struck here. Between a Master and at least another Master. The fact it was 3 figures was really throwing her off. She didn't sense a servant's presence but there was no way this was 3 masters. lt was too outlandish of a conclusion. lt could've been a Master and some assistant of theirs talking to another, but that was still felt off. There's no way this conversation would be held with no servants present. So, one of these entities had to be Assassin. 

    She noticed the one they were talking to seemed to be having some sort of issue. Were they injured? Nadia couldn't really tell from this distance but it afforded a possibility. lf she took them out now she'd have one less servant to deal with and stop them from teaming up. /Saber, l've found enemies along the path of destruction. They are south, somewhat west of the path, not in the direct wake. You should be able to close quickly. There's 3 targets, one seems injured. l'm going to try and kill them outright. l'm engaging. lf things go badly l'll call you by Seal, otherwise arrive on foot. / she then made due on that statement. She summoned a blade of darkness in the palmof her hand, one that was exactly the same as the blade she had used to perform the summoning. Blank was the easiest thing for her to make copies of. She was familiar with the weapon... to the point she considered it an extension of her own body. She turned it over in her hand, admiring her work for a second. "You'll do." she tossed it towards the injured figure, aiming directly at what she believed was their head.

    Berserker

    The Beast smirked as he began his assault, he blew into a flurry of blows that seemed to have no end. He beat down on the hapless Lancer that was now at his mercy. The man was hardy, lucky him. His defenses at least proved that that'd they'd defend him for a time, though not completely. Perhaps he had resigned to his fate, to just hold on as long as possible, trying to beat the inevitable clock. What a farce, if this had been his original body there'd be no time limit. He'd enjoy playing with this man'slife for as long as he wished. But, he didn't have the time to savor breaking him.

    He snarled, sending his hand towards the Lancer's gut like he had before. His claws aiming to tear into his abdomen, a move that'dprobably not kill this Lancer, but one that Ashnard wanted to perform anyway. lt'd been awhile since he felt blood on his fur... since he had felt another's beating heart in thier chest, and that beat die as he tore it out. 

  2. Yeah... so it's definitely true and the "Clear Formatting" Button has definitely been removed which is going to be one heck of a nightmare. lt's not really even bias for the subs l tend to hang out in where the feature is pretty much an essiental of the toolkit cause it's also massively important in other areas of the forums.

    Using any formatting is probably ill-advised until it put back into place due to fact that editing a post with any formatting is going to be rather difficult until it is replaced. lt'll involve having to remove entireline until the formattign is just gone or deleting the whole post in case and rewriting it. As afurther note, don't do any formatting until you finish a postor at the very least make sure there is at least an extra line entered that is untext fromatted beneath it otherwise you'll be stuck with your settings for the entireity of the post afterwards.

  3. Berserker

     

    The Beast felt as it's momentum was being used against it, as the not-so-knightly figure ducked beneath him trying to send him for some sort of trap he had lain for him. However... The Beast smirked, cause he was right where he wanted to be right now. Humans... so predictable. Just because he was a Berserker didn't mean his mind was lost to madness. Hatred maybe, but not madness.  As The Beast soared over the Lancer, he let go of the man's weapon and shouted out a single word. A word of immense power, one that ingnited his power. He truly unleashed the body magic he'd prepared.

    He shouted one word "Käfig!!!" Lightning sprung forth from multiple points on his body, screaming out from under the werewolf's fur and skin. The green bolts however didn't even remotely try to strike The Lancer instead they burned outward. Pale green barriers formed around the pair, directly centered on the two of them. Runes quickly etched themselves into them, intricate and ornate. They solidfied the cage and made the walls manifest for truth. 

    While the Black Hole might've been pulling him, it only allowed him enough time to flip his orientation while tumbling through the air. The Beast touched down on the side of the cage, the Black Hole allowing him to stand on the sideways surface for a time. lt was clear it was sending lightning coursing through his veins, but it didn't phase him at all, at the least nothing showed on The Beast's face but a cruel smirk. The "trap" the Lancer had laid gave enough time for him to push off the wall and send his form rocketing back towards the Lancer at full speed. There was no way to dodge out of the way, there was no room to swing such weapon as a halbard. The Cage was made exactly for this purpose. To tie down any enemy that Ashanrd couldn't pin down with his own raw speed and power.

  4. Nadia

     

    Nadia had finally arrived at the mall that had been her target since her servant arrived there. She just wanted to be sure that Saber had left the area with her own eyes. Perhaps a strange sentiment but Nadia tended to be full of those. She checked the surronding area, it seemed pretty dead and abandoned. lt was storming after all,so it wasn't truly surprising but, it felt... wrong. She decided to make sure the area was clear before continuing. lt didn't take her toomuch time to notice soemthing very out of the ordinary. Cracks in the concrete...clearly damage from impacts. She sighed, this was definitely the work of a servant. A powerful one. Worse... this was just it's movement.

    /Saber, be careful. l'm not sure if you've seen the wake of destruction, but there's a servant travelling in a similar direction as you. They definitely went towards the district l told you to head to. Worse, they are immensely powerful. l can't say if that means Berserker or not but they aren't remotely trying to cover their tracks... it's likely that they are a Berserker... or worse than that someone who's so powerful they don't really care about covering their movements. Let's hope it's the former. Berserkers are known for being extremely predictable. Despite their level of power l'm sure your abilities would make fighting one much easier than you'd expect.

     

    Berserker

     

    The orbs never reached the wolf in time, though they still landed, blowing the barely standing building away. Whoever had been inside was surely dead. A Green Spark was the Lancer's only warning something had happened, as suddenly The Beast was upon him. He had closed all of the distance between the two in an instant. The wicked maw of The Beast gravitated towards the man's throat, after all, it was any beast's favourite place to strike. The most vulnerable place on the body of any creature, let alone a man.

  5. Spoiler

  6. The Southern Cross? Well, this was quite the fucking shitstorm wasn't it? How the Resanti got a hold of, Vixen didn't know but it really didn't matter at the time being did it? They clearly had the thing, there was no point twiddling ones thumbs and wondering how it got there. Besides doubting the Resanti's capabilities is one of the biggest mistakes that the Llimian Military kept making during intial contact. She wasn't about to make the same one.

    This must have been the big ship that the Al kept referring to, the one she said she could help destroy. She said Father had brought it there... so clearly she has some connection to the Resanti... this wasn't an easy decision but Vixen couldn't see any possible gain for this entity to lie to her. "l'll take your word for it for now, lt seems my people are in trouble and l don't have time to debate the minutia of what you are exactly. However... do me a favor before l reestablish contact. Do you have a name? l hope so... otherwise l'm going to have to think of something to call you and l'm shit at names."

  7. "l mean l'm all fine with saving you but you'd have to be on my ship." which as far as Vixen knew no one entered but... she knew this wasn't a typical case at this point. She wasn't really entirely sure of the implications, but she was catching on well enough. "But... l have a feeling that you already have invited yourself over, what are you exactly? Pardon me if that's rude to ask, but more information would be useful here, and l'm sure that my crew is going to ask a lot of questions the second my communications come back online."

     

    Given the fact she'd lost contact with Rhees while dropping from hyperspace and was meant to reconnect after... she was definitely missed the deadline for contact. She would like to retouch with the Eclipse before they sent people ater here... if they could even afford that right now but they probably couldn't. So, having answers was probably more important, so they understand her situation. 

  8. "l'll be honest l'm not sure that goal was what was in mind for this mission. We came out here mostly blind and without much information. We don't even know who you are just that there was a single lifesign on this ship for whatever reason. lt being in Resanti space and them just leaving a derelict out here with a single lifesign on it seems... strange at the least so we were just investigating." Vixen was going to try and be reasonable with whatever it was messing with her ship... cause clearly whatever this presence was quite talented and they had pierced quite far into her systems. They didn't seem to be hostile persay but it was a rather strange method to get her to stop. They could've just hailed her frenquecy or something rather than commeendeering her control.

    "Further you've more or less cut me off from my ship at the moment. l'm an advance unit, designation of long range combat specialist. Rescue Operations and Boarding Operations aren't much my strong suit... wait a second..." Then thought to herself back to what they had said at the beginning. "You said you disabled my ship cause you didn't want me to leave while you were only halfway onboard. So... you're on The Cleansing Rain right now then somehow?" Vixen started to look around her cockpit instinctively, as if she'd see something. She quickly caught herself though, and looked back at the moniter. This was strange. lf this was some kind of living being it was nothing she'd ever come across before. 

  9. Vixen sighed loudly. Talking... wasn't her strong suit. This wasn't the action she was looking for at aaaaall. She should probably be concerned moreso about the fact she was cut off from the Eclipse but there wasn't really much she could do about that at the moment given the circumstance, her controls weren't responding and whatever was communicating with her... well it might not be the source but there was no way to tell. She was stuck here with little to no information, she'd have to hope the crew noticed and sent back-up if she couldn't figure some way to get her control back.

    But while she waited, she might as well try and chase the one avenue she did have. "A little more than a hello is needed in this situation pal. lf you're gonna cut off my controls and the ability to communicate you better have a really good reason for doin' so. And it better not be to kill me, or abduct me or some shit cause l swear to you if you come near my ship... l'll blow this little tugboat to kingdomcome. l don't need contols for that shit. Just so we're clear. We clear?"

  10. Kaede

     

    lt didn't seem to have much effect in terms of her power however the ribbons could physically interact with Katja's body so it seemed at least. The embedment would probably help her try and hold down the woman at least enough to help the others land their strikes. Kaede figured Riley would have to do most of the lifting here but she was fine with that so long as Katja could be driven off. She tried to tie her down with the ribbons wrapping as much of the around Katja's limbs as she could manage and then tugging them taut. 

  11. Lyle charges forth, bringing his lance to bear on the swordsman.

    Spoiler

    {Lyle draws on an unbreakable bond! +10 Crit!}

    {Lyle is distracted by the thrill of battle. -15 to evasion.}

     

    Lyle:

    Damage: 8

    Hit: 94%

    Crit: 14%

     

    lnitiate 6:

    Damage: 5

    Hit: 100%

    Crit: 6%

     

    Lyle makes his attack! 19. Hit! (80, no crit)

    The Sun ponders whether to bestow his blessing: 35. Not on this day it would seem.
    Lyle deals 8 damage to lnitiate 6, defeating him!

    The dead cannot conduct battle, therefore this combat ends.

    lt connects, sending yet another empty robe clattering towards the ground, no body in sight.

    Lenny heals Lyle for 14! Yay!

    Coel moves to H9 and heals Renee for 18!

     

    The curtain is called on the stage of fate, for now their act comes to a close. The Enemy Phase begins.

     

    The looming figure lumbers forth, faster than one would expect for someone who seemed to be covered in stone. They walked with purpose, straight towards the great Castle Calmary. They set eyes upon one of the shades that was currently fleeing. Poor fool... running would only lead to more suffering. She decided to be merciful in this moment and lifted her massive tome, a horrid bolt of darkness stared to form above the pages.

    The Tower moves to N10, and attacks Scout 2 with lmhullu. 

    Spoiler

    {The Tower outspeeds their foe this battle, they strike twice.}

    {The Tower embodies ruin, they gain +5% activation rate to Rend Heaven this battle.}

    {The Tower knows that all crumbles, they gain +10 to crit this battle.}

     

    The Tower:

    Damage: 41

    Hit: 130%

    Crit: 21%

     

    Scout 2:

    Damage: Fukt

    Hit: Fuuuuuuuuuucked

    Crit: Soooo FUUUUCKED.

     

    The Tower makes their attack. Automatic hit!

    17, CRlT!!!
    The Tower ponders the end. 52, Today, all the world crumbles. Rend Heaven activates! lt deals 1 damage.

    The Tower defeats Scout 2 with a devastating 126 damage!!!

    The darkness washes over the scout... and as soon as it passes, nothing remains.

     

    The Figure then turns it attention to the crowd gathered in the distance. As their task done they hear shouting in the distance. "Where is Sir Roland? Where is he!" They slammed their tome shut, placing the ancient decrepit relic to the side for the time being. Out of their robes they fetched an ornate axe... and heldit aloft. Perhaps this belonged to the man he was looking for. The figure had no desire to to kill these people, just to see them gone. So, rather than give the lad no answers, they lifted the axe aloft so that he could see it. She shouted out to him "The Man you are looking for is gone. He insisted on stopping me from reaching Calmary. l offered him safe passage, that he may leave without a scratch on his head. However he declined, and fought despite knowing he would die. l doubt you'll believe me but that however is the truth. He's passed on from this world. l'm sure this was his." She said lifting Knight Errant as high above her head as she could.  

     

    "lf this is not proof enough that at the very least he no longer is in this world with us, l don't know what is." They now turned to face Coel. "Flee Hierophant, and take your flock with you. l have no desire to see your lives end. However, l must take Calmary. lf you remain l will be forced to destroy you all the same."

     

    Pupil 3 attacks Sherwyn!

    Spoiler

    He hits and downs the knight with a lot of doooommage.12, was more than Sherwyn's remaining HP.

     

    lnitiate 7 attacks Renee!

    Spoiler

    So numbers got fucky here cause l forgot Coel had a turn and could heal and that he would probably heal Renee due to his Al healing the person on the lowest HP ~~she was on 4.~~ So l don't have the exact calcs for what the numbers should look like but know that both of them would hit in regardless due to what the possible values are.

    More or less, Renee takes 8 damage and the lnitiate take 7.

     

    lnitiate 5 moves to l8 and attacks Morgan!

    Spoiler

    Morgan does a buttload of damage like 15. Doesn't kill doe and she gets downed to too autohit doubles. lt's real rude.


    Scout 3 holds, scared to death of the scene that just occured behind him.

     

    The curtains fly open once more, The Actors of Fate take flight once more! Player Phase begins!

  12. Vixen didn't move much from her lounging position, she was used to such calls, couldn't say she wasn't happy to hear she'd get to be off ship for a time in a place no one could bother her. Well... at least they couldn't physically invade her space. She often had to keep contact of some sort over comms, but if it was Rhees she'd not mind. Anyone else bleeh, but the information offcier was usually the one to handle such things, so it'd probably always be Rhees. Not bleh. "Can do, don't mind being adrift for a bit. l'll be sure to let the rest know the skin wearin' toasters are on their tails if need be.Hopefully they remain scared enough of whatever this is to stay the hellaway, but at that point even if they are scared of it... they probably don't want us sticking our nose in it. So... l highly doubt they'll do nothing. Guess it means l'll get to shoot something. l'm down for that. See, brightside. Well, for me. Not so much you guys. You'd better hope l remain bored and lonely."

  13. Nadia and Saber. 

     

    /Good good. l like that, l really do. After all, we'll get nowhere in this war if we don't remain proactive. Nothing happening is honestly more unnerving... lt's quiet at the start... like last time. Or perhaps l just am the lucky one and somehow avoid everyone at the beginning. Perhaps the advantage of being a denizen of the night?/ the last part was Nadia clearly talking to herself, almost as if she forgot that Saber could hear her. And yet... as if she wanted her to hear those musings. Nadia continued on her path, hoping to get to the mall quickly, she didn't like how open the commercial area of this city was... always made her uncomfortable. Most of her opponents probably cared little about murdering civilians, so she could really be attacked from any angle. She'd just have to blend into the crowds if there were any at this time of night. 

    Even still, night was the last time they wanted to do battle with her, it was when she was at her strongest.

    Berserker

    The Beast stood smouldering in the distance. Emerald eyes full of hate glittered through the darkness and the rain. The wound on his shoulder where the halbard had once rended his flesh was fully gone, as if nothing had ever happened. He snarled and laughed. "You still flee? You don't even have that burden to carry anymore. Fight me like the hero you are... or are you scared? lf you're looking for my master they aren't here l'm afraid. lt's just you and me. So, how about you show me what you're made of or l'll hunt that little girl. Tracking her will be easy... the stench of your magic is all over her. Luckily for you, l don't care about some stupid war. l  just want to hunt. She is boring prey, she'd put up no fight. l'm not interested. So, olibge me. Or she dies. l'm no hero... so trust me, l have no qualms gutting her. Your choice Hero." he stood there, preparing to jump, leap or anything reallyif need be. He was charging to release a ton of energy... pieces of him close to unraveling within an instant for great bursts of speed. But he stood there, waiting for the lancer's move.

    He felt the fear or... some feeling through the link of his master's origin, but he didn't really care. He was here to hunt not babysit.

  14. Anemone

    lt was a rush of feelings, her soul bearing the full brunt of it this time around. No human flesh to soften the impact, to hide behind. Anemone only felt a pervasive chill that wracked the full of her senses. What it was, she had no idea.SHe'd never felt it before. This... wasn't supposed to be how this worked. At least as far as the theory went. But she'd never done it in practice. She must've failed to... do to something correctly. What was forgotten? She couldn't really remember. She was having trouble remembering anything at the moment... she felt like her grasp wsa slipping until suddenly...

     

    "I d-don't know who you are, b-but I know you're there!"

     

    The lost soul panicked at the sudden words. Everything rushed back in that instant as her survival instincts kicked in. She could feel the eyes on her right now. Straing at her. She had no idea how or why but that they were and that's all she knew. Her thoughts raced amile a minute. She tried to say something but no words materilized. She had no mouth with which to do so. She couldn't even scream i she wanted to. However... she supposed i'd be a good lesson in how to focus herself when she was panicking. Brightsides... ye, try and keep positive. Time had passed quite a few minutes but due to the utter horror and panic it seemed like mere moments to Anemone. The situation had now calmed and the girl explained the situation or at least, some of what could be happening. Look into other dimensions... is that what she was doing? She didn't remember that being the case. Regardless she was here now though and she needed the ability to communicate with this girl somehow. She tried to will herself towards the computer the girl had indicated, She wasn't sure how this work or how she could make it known she had done this but her first concern was entering the device if she was even able in the first place. lf she could, she'd try and will out a message of some sort. She settled on a "Hello?" in English, which seemed to be the language this girl knew.

  15. Vixen almost let out a chuckle at Rhees tone during the brief. For the time she'd known her, it'd certainly had been amusing. She supposed normally a cheery demeanor woul get on her nerves to some degree, however it was a different kind of it least to Vixen. Perhaps only a justifaction she made up to be able to accept it but not like she cared. She took in the rest asking their questions. She wondered when Willard woul... ah there it was. 

    "Good to know the information officer round these parts has a sense of humour." she said playfully jabbing at Rhees. She had her feet up on the table leaning back, her black combat boots resting on the table. Most of her wasn't visible however due to that strange dusty tan cape that covered her whole body she semed to always be wearing. She sat up abruptly, and leaned forward during the rest of the questions

    "The hell could those Rust Buckets in human pajamas be so scared of? Guess we'll find out. Seems fishy avessel out here all by it's lonesome but no trap l'd ever seen in my days. Too random... too out of the way and only single lifesign. Nearly impossible to spoof those, or poof them l guess in this case. Likethey'd have to hope someone would randomly stumble into this it's just not feasible.... and at the least a logistics nightmare. lf the Resanti's hivemind is sanctioning this kinda shit... Well we'd not be their greatest enemy, that'd title belong to themselves." Vixen more or less thought to herself outloud.

  16. Sheeeeeet!

    Pilot:

    Spoiler

     

    Name: “Long Range Engagement Specialist” Sergeant Major Catria “Vixen” Edelweiss

     

    Age: 32

     

    Personality: Abrasive is probably the best word to describe Vixen. She doesn’t make much effort to be likable and in fact tends to try and keep people from ever wanting to talk to her. She’s a huge loner type, preferring silence to any human being she’s personally met. One would say “woe to those that get on her bad side” but it is oft joked she doesn’t even possess a good side for one to be on. She earned the nickname “Vixen” for a reason. The most that one can hope for with Vixen is to be merely tolerated. However, this is a rare and not oft given luxury.

     

    Appearance: Vixen is a decent height, probably standing about 5’8. She has dull red eyes and darker blue hair, which are often quite distinguishing features. She tends to wear a heavy tan cloak over top of her ensemble, leading quite a few to not truly know what’s underneath. She wears thick heavy goggles, tinted red, on her head. Underneath her left eye is a rather nasty burn she acquired at some point in her career. Underneath her cloak she wears a red tank top, that leads into black shorts that reach part of the way down her thigh. In addition to this she wears heavy combat boots and some sort of baggy legging that cover her legs up to above her knees. ~~there is gap between this and her shorts.~~ She always wears a black glove on her right hand.


    Background: The Eclipse, had a reputation. One that the Llima Empire would shortly catch wind of. A crew that would defend neutral systems… a neutral party. One that could easily run errands for them past the bounds of their normal reach. Regardless… they’d need to keep watch on such an entity regardless. So, that was where Vixen came in. Through quite reluctantly at first. She had been in the military as long as she could, even earning the title of Long Range Engagement Specialist. ~~though mostly a rank given to her to keep her from raising in the command structure.~~.

    She found herself a new assignment on her desk. To watch the Eclipse. To be a party with vested interest aboard the vessel so that the Empire could be kept in the loop and further terminate them if they proved to just be a rampant pirate vessel. She was to be their inside man, that kept an eye on the operations and made sure they remained above board. She was pretty sure it was mostly to get her the hell away from the main military force as possible but she didn’t really care. It was an opportunity to get the hell away from the big wigs and stuffy politics of the military so she’d take it. After all, the military was the only life she cared to live if she had to be stuck in the Llima Empire, so… why not get out of that hellhole while still part of it? Seemed like a win/win for ol’ Vixen.

     

     

    lnterceptor:

    Spoiler

    Interceptor Name: Cleansing Rain

     

    Appearance: Cleansing Rain is made to look as much like the style of fighter before the recall as possible. Due to the long extensive military history in Vixen’s family she’d always been fond of the old things and never truly believed in the practicality of Strikers. The Cleansing Rain is a throwback to the old days though with quite a few improvements over the old designs. It is perhaps somewhat of an ugly design to most, as it has quite a distinct wedge shape to it, however Vixen improved on the older versions by making the body of the vessel thinner while adding to the overall bulk. ~~honestly just imagine an A Wing style fighter just fancied up to look less wedgy.~~

     

    Weapon Slot 1&2: Cleansing Rain is equipped with an extremely long range laser cannon, akin to a sniper rifle however… attached to a ship. It is weaponry fine tuned to bore through Strikers and interceptors of all kinds. Due to the infrequency of shields on these combat vessels (due to Strikers common use of weapons made to bypass them anyway) it tends to not run into trouble as a result. However if it does come up against shields it is pretty much useless.

     

    Mobility Slot 1&2: The Cleansing Rain is equipped with a Warp Drive so it has the ability to maneuver long distances outside of purview of the Eclipse. Due to the Cleansing Rain’s designation as a long-range engagement vessel this is essential to its ability to be able to come at the battle at unexpected angels and ranges leaving the enemies much more vulnerable to surprise. This does come at the cost of having to leave the ship and arrive at combat locations separately leaving on her own for quite a few days on end time to time, but… Vixen would consider this an upside however.

     

    Variable Slot 1: The Cleansing Rain would be quite the sitting duck if it’s only weaponry was it’s long range laser cannon, therefore it is equipped as well with a short range plasma cannon, for those that get too close for comfort.

     

  17. Nadia and Saber

     

    /Hmmm, the mall already. Quite quick then, though l should suppose a swordswoman would want speed. After all, speed is king in a battle of blades. The fastest often wins, assuming equal levels of skill of course.../ she seemed to muse on this tangent for a bit before realizing she should probably answer the question that was presented, not consider the philospy of warriors. /l believe that you should head north and you shall find the upper class district... that is our overall goal after all. l am still following behind my dear Saber, after all it's not easy for a human like me to keep up with a servant's true speed. Regardless lf you'd prefer please continue on to my home. Otherwise, wait at the mall l should hopefully be there beore too awful long. lt's up to you however Saber./

    Nadia then preceded to send a series of images over the connection. lt was what appeared to be directions to her apartment so that Saber could find her way there on her own if she so desired. Her apartment was located in a quite upscalelooking building, seemingly on the ground floor. lt was certainly quite a sight as compared to anything the pair of them had been through this evening. /l hope the place is too your liking. Should be less stuffy than that warehouse regardless./

     

    Berserker

     

    The flash was enough warning for The Beast, his senses quite well tuned despite his apparent madness. However... one probably would not expect the move that he decided best. He didn't try to dodge exactly instead he stood his ground waiting for the prey to land near him. He would wait for them to come to him, chomping at whatever he could or grabbing the spear. He waited in anticpation as the moment inched closer. The Beast licked his lips knowing that that bladed weapons would soon bite into his own flesh. Pitiful that a human would get the first blow but it'd be for the greater good.

    lt the lightning did nothing... ltdidn't remotely harm Ashnard, or if it did it didn't look like it. He however stood his ground as the blade struck into the felshy bit of his shoulder. The impact alone caused some of the stone beneath his feet to buckle under the immense weight. However heremained standing. He towered over the Lancer, His form no longer obscured by the dark The Lancer got his first good look at The Beast he was fighting. A large man, though harldy a man. A beastial wolf, the long muzle stared at him, the stink of curdled blood and the rot of meat permeated his nostrils. The green sparkling eyes from the darkness, clearly fullof hatred started directly at him now. He looked down on him past thatmuzzle, the green eyes judging his worth. A Strange thing for a Berserker to do. But stranger yet, the Beast... smiled. What it meant however the Lancer did not have long to ponder. For as fast as lightning the Beast struck out with it's arm that the halberd had not pentrated. The Beast's arm went for the Lancer's gut, his dreaded claws forming a point that would quite likely penetrate his abdomin. The Beast forced an ultimatium. Keep the weapon and get gored, or step back from the blow.

  18. Kaede

     

    lt'd seem death wasn't as simple an answer as it would seem. Perhaps to be expected of a demon that could control time. Kaede realized she had already been transfromed when the loop had begun, it'dsave a step everytime it restarted at the least. She wouldn't need to keep willing herself into it. The others however, were a different story. She didn't worry about Riley. The other two however, she didn't know how much they'd retain during the loops or if they were truly aware of their own power but she supposed she'd have to not worry about that. She should try and break this loop. But first.

    "The two of you need to help if we're to get out of this loop. This power, is apart of you. Your being. You must simply will it forth... wish for it to be and it shall come to you." she said, hoping that her words would stick with them. And with that she took to her work.

     

    She wasn't sure what she could do to a person with these powers, what she'd see or be able to do. So, she lashed out the ribbons to strike Katja. But, she thought... instead to attach them. Perhaps... she could break something in her. Break something in her like she herself was broken. Perhaps she could darken something, destroy it's illumation. Something... after all she knew that she could do was break the light. She lashed out her ribbons hoping to have the sink into Katja's skin.

    Sherwyn slays Drifter 3 with 10 damage!

    The dead cannot conduct battle, therefore this combat ends.

    Sherwyn's lance flies forth with impunity. The woman doesn't see it coming, much too preoccupied with attacking the man and his horse. lt thuds into her side, ribs certainly cracking from the blow. She looked at Sherwyn, though... there wasn't anger in her eyes... just... happiness? She caressed Sherwyn's helmet before uttering the words "Thank you. Thank you for releasing me..." Then she evaporated into dust like the rest.

     

    Spoiler

    {Renee is full of life! +15 Evasion.}

     

    Renee:

    Renee exchanges a blow with the drifter, both of them clearly are hanging on only by a thread though the drifter is worse for wear surely.

    Lyla:

    Lyla defeats Drifter 2 with 9 damage!

    The dead cannot conduct battle, therefore this combat ends.

    Lyla strikes while the drifter is preoccupied with Renee. She feels a presence behind her as she swings, as if a hand was guiding her blade. The cold frost pushes her blade arm level with a chink in her foe's armour, a place that she'd be able to sneak in more damage. lt wasn't probably necessary, but a gesture of good will even still.

    Actors on the stage of fate have yet to take flight, the player phase continues!
