Yours Truly

In an unfortunately common display of petty dickery, Solomon elected to insult Greater Lahmbu B's choice of mutations in a way that implies that it chose said mutation due to a secret fetish it had in a past or current life as opposed to any benefits it might have gotten from grappling someone with it. Action: (Level 1) Running Mockumentary on Greater Lahmu B to reduce the damage they deal by the difference between Solomon's intelligence+3 and theirs for four rounds. Tokens: 6 Relevant effect: Cursed Eldritch Ring increases the duration of debuffs by 1 round for both Solomon and anyone he targets, and also increases their effect by 10% if they are affecting Solomon Stats Perks Actions and Equipment

Atton uses Battle Plans to buff Atton's and Venus's Intelligence stat by his level and reduce a cooldown of their choice by one round, Atton will attempt to choose to reduce Battle Plan's cooldown to give it the standard two round cooldown. Loadout

Alan confidently strode outside of the breach in the hull with his best armored suit, his clown mask showing that good old glasgow grin at his enemies, and a giant death machine to hide behind, "I've got the panzer, and the millers standing next to it," he confidently declared as his Sectopod opened fire on what will hopefully become two very dead ADVENT troopers, and his hands quickly became a blur of movement as he tried to align his highly experimental shield generator all around him and find an opening inside of the Tank's systems at the same time. Sectopod: Heavy Magnetic Guns on two ADVENT troopers on B6, dealing 3d6+14 damage to the two of them if it hits. Runner 1, continue following after Frigus and Harry Alan, Assuming Direct Control on the Tank to try and make a 1d20+Int v 1d20+Int check to assume direct control over it's systems, with a +20% boost to Alan's intelligence for this roll due to his heavily modified CTY 360 being used. Loadout Alan's Drones

Aster slowly but surely tiptoes closer and closer to the door as quietly as possible, his head turning to the side with every step to look for cameras, his eyes naturally wandering down to his feet to search for tripwires or a pressure pad, his knees weak, his palms sweaty, his arms spaghetti, a tiny bead of sweat gathering on his forehead from the intermingling feelings of sheer anticipation and dread he was feeling as he reached out to grasp the handle of the door... and (4) found it to be quite locked indeed. Although of course knowing your previous criminal background, it won't be for long, but the real question is... do you want to wait for Frostbite to finish the job?. "The only thing we are legally allowed to issue as a private agency is a license proving that you are in fact, a licensed investigator; which grants you no actual authority and is very rarely asked for by the police, so if you want my advice don't flash a badge, just be your usual 'charming' self."

Radovan smiled and leaned in to pull Uno into another hug before he asked, "Do you already have a Magikarp Uno?, and uhh, do you not live with your family?"

Immanuel decided to try and react as quickly and mundanely as possible by simply... attempting to drop his grenade launcher and push it down with a magical shield in time to prevent it and its explosive payload from becoming damaged, with the intent to retrieve it as soon as it is out of danger and track down the sniper by going through a nice window kool aid man style.

You already have a saber tho, also I thought you were taking military rank as one of your skills.

All along the Watchtower (OOC/Sign ups) (Theme Song) Far far away from the outskirts of the town of Astrakane, there lies an ancient stone watchtower that overlooks the vast Tiberian expanse. It is one of the hundreds that have been bought, built, and repaired by the Kingdom of Arcton, your homeland, to protect our many border towns from the despicable actions of the barbaric Breganites. These, as you know, are the very same barbarians whose near constant raids of our border towns have stifled our settlement efforts around the calraine point, and who have caused an unprecedented growth in power of the necrocults that reside in the area. Each and every single one of you have heard that your predecessors were fine men and women, who had spent years of their lives to secure this area from the dreaded Breganite raiders!†, and the skeletal armies of the forgotten dread emperor!‡, before they promptly applied for a reassignment the day after the town of Ashar was taken and their watchtower suddenly became the first line of defense. Leaving the five of you here, in an old watchtower that has seemingly lasted for long enough to see the rise and fall of civilizations, and yet which still remains standing desp- aaand there goes the roof…. This is going to be a long assignment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Essentially this RP would be centered around good old Watchtower #1013, where a group of wet behind the ears watchmen (I believe a more appropriate term for this day and age would be watch officer) have been assigned to patrol and watch over the entire damned area despite the fact that you are quite frankly nowhere near prepared for the task. Especially when you have been assigned in such a hectic time, with rumors of a bandit king rising up in the east, strange winds and foul omens indicating that something unnatural is occuring in the southern ruins. That and the fact that part of the roof had just collapsed on what was apparently a room full of mirrors lamp oil isn’t doing anyone any favors. Then there is the fact that the world itself is fantastical in nature, thus causing the five of you to have to deal with magic and supernatural happenings on top of occasional barbarian raids, investigating merchants and other travellers, and fixing the damned roof before the rest of it collapses.

Daniel nodded at Horace and put on a commanding tone of voice before he said, "Well I expect a written record of the interrogation on my desk before the end of the day, along with a separate record of your activities so far complete with a list of expenses and a summary of the investigation so far," and moved back to slowly close the door on Horace and the rest of the group, "So go on, don't let me detain you,"

Ahmed decided to helpfully (or annoyingly) chime in with "Well as the saying goes Sir Kay, 'practice makes perfect'," before he wiped off a little bit of the LCL from his plug suit and continued with, "And uhhh... what would happen if our synch rates go up too highly anyway? Would we just... die or something?,"

Daniel quickly put away the folder before he said, "Something that might be worth millions in the hands of the right buyer, that for some odd reason was delivered to someone who I thought would have absolutely no interest in something of this sort, or any business with knowing about it in the first place," he left a slight pause to consider his response to Horace's question before he continued with, "And while quite frankly I am of the opinion that anyone in your position who can't think of a way to get a viable lead does not belong in this line of work, I believe that you have apprehended a pair of suspects recently is that correct?"

Solomon decided to make a relative simple non verbal response to the half naked man's goading by sending an entire olympic style obstacle course made out of hardcover books meant for a much smaller man to make life a bit of an inconvenience for him, and to test the waters a bit, and find out just how well the man handles such a magical attack. Action: Slalom on Gilgamesh, distributing all 6 +1 damage taken stacks on him and triggering Twisted Tales. Tokens: 0 Relevant effect: Cursed Eldritch Ring increases the duration of debuffs by 1 round for both Solomon and anyone he targets, and also increases their effect by 10% if they are affecting Solomon Stats Perks Actions and equipment

Atton uncharacteristically decided not to respond to the gilded man's aimless prattling verbally as he instead decided to send a short message over the radio to the man who had served as the squad's leader in the previous battle, "Edmond I'm afraid that I'm not going to be of much use for anything other than a bit of supressing fire or extremely obvious advice right now, I can't exactly conjure up an inspiring speech or a piece of useful insight out of thin air can't I?," as he said this Private Jesus Kaltenbrenner proceeded to aim the .50 cal browning machine guns mounted on the half track and opened fire in the general direction of the horde of bel lahmu's. .50 cal, 1d6+[Dex/2]+3 damage to lesser lahmu A to C Literally everything relevant on his sheet

Radovan was mostly unconcerned about the complete and utter lack of decorations or family portraits present in Uno's home, as his mind was too busy exploring the ever important thought of ' >Trainers >Battling Magikarp to see which one is stronger >This boring tacklefest is a festival >Wut, they might as well just showcase how high their Magikarp can splash when compared to someone else's' Which of course only lasted until his mind realized that was probably one of the competitions as well and resolved to capture his own Magikarp, do some emergency training, assemble a playlist, and show everyone a classical underdog story tha- his mind abruptly segued into two concurrent thoughts about Uno's attractiveness and eligibility and wanting to pet Zeta and Lampy for a brief moment before he said, "Oh don't worry Uno, I'm used to living in large houses by now, and at least this one feels a lot less cramped than the shed the six of us live in." He then mentally resisted the slight urge to respond to Uno's question with a single sentence before he took a step closer towards Uno and patted Zeta's head, "Where would I go to get a Magikarp then? Do you have a fishing rod or something I could borrow from you?."

Aster would rather quickly find a surprisingly modern and spacious looking hallway beyond the trapdoor that clashed somewhat with the rustic (and sort of run down) aesthetic of the mostly wooden cabin he was in before, and he would just as quickly bump into a fork that split towards the left where he could hear a bit of an odd humming sound apparently being produced by something behind a closed door, and to the right where he rather oddly, heard absolutely nothing at all beyond an open door that seemingly lead to what appeared to be... another hallway. "DANIEL YOU JUST HAVE TO SEE THIS RIGHT NOW!" Samantha screamed to a rather bemused looking Daniel as she practically shoved the folder they discovered in his face, causing the man who was already hoping that whatever this was would be resolved soon to let out a sigh and fish out a pair of reading glasses as he said, "Now now Samantha, I'm pretty sure that whatever it was it can't be tha-." Daniel's words were cut off a bit as he mentally did a double take to make absolutely sure that he was reading what he thought was reading, and he quickly put the folder away and said, "Alright so it is that important," he let out a little sigh before he said something along the lines of, "Well now I know why Oak was so keen on not telling us what the folder contained... he probably just didn't want me to charge him a fortune for it." Samantha nodded excitedly before she practically shouted out, "WELL NOW WE SIMPLY HAVE TO FIND EVERYTHING RIGHT? I honestly don't know what would happen if-," Daniel cut her off with a, "Yes yes if the surprisingly competent team rocket rehash of a rehash actually managed to find someone who could make use of this information, it's a good thing that you were able to find it Samantha... even though I never actually assigned you to this case."

Ahmed looked ponderous for a moment before he suddenly blurted out, "Wait, I have a question, I know that this was all just a simulation but... why couldn't you do this earlier? When we had to step in to help you fight off the Angel? Did you just... turn off the limiters or something for your simulated EVA?"

Radovan slowly but surely stepped up to approach Uno as she spoke, and just as she finished speaking he quietly ignored the voice in his head that suddenly made him realize just how under dressed he was as he pulled Uno into a hug and said, "Of course we're all here! I'm pretty sure that everyone here was just dying to know how you were faring after we were all separated, since you didn't tell us where you were going or well... talked to us at all before you invited us over silly~" He then slowly pulled away from her and showed her a genuine smile as he continued with, "That and I'm pretty sure that none of us could turn down a free vacation after what we've all been through, and I just had to show Zeta what a beach is." He then took another step back and blatantly looked up and down her before he said, "But anyway have they been feeding you anyway? You look a lot.... healthier than you did before, did something good happen?"

Rosalyn's cat practically leapt into the fray as it grew in size and dug its claws deep inside of the teddy bear to try and tear it to shreds and buy Rosalyn the time she needed to try and get the flowers off of her wrist and yell out, "Everyone! I'll buy you some time, get that little girl out of here before something worse happens!" (25+10, base 25 magic limit and +10 from familiar control).

Immanuel quickly decided that he really didn't want to get stuck in a protracted fight against four different people at once as he practiced some rather evasive maneuvers to try and not get hit by even a single drop of blood before he fired an exothermic grenade enchanted both by the launcher's barrel, and a double portion of Überwältigen to hopefully spray every single one of them with red hot sticky love before he activated his jetpack o rocket towards a building close to the sniper's current position. Arcane Infusion: Überwältigen [6] and 1 exothermic grenade used, alteration to shift the 3 to the adjacent 5.

Meanwhile Radovan seemed surprisingly miserable in his usual, average, everyday golden scaled trench coat that covered a pair of black shorts.... and nothing else in particular as he felt that wearing anything else to the beach would be an unnecessary embellishment, especially since he felt that the false collar he wore would be enough to fool all but the most observant of people into thinking that he was wearing a shirt. He the entirety of the walk over to Uno's home by hiding under the coolish shade provided by the black telescoping umbrella he insisted on carrying around everywhere, and he let out a sigh of relief once everyone stopped dilly dallying for long enough to allow them to arrive at the door that seemed to promise a certain amount of air conditioning beyond it. He quickly took the lead and jabbed precisely at the doorbell in ways that might have clocked someone hovering a little too close to it in the face as he faffed about with unfolding his umbrella, and he did not stop ringing the doorbell even after he had already tucked his umbrella away to a warm place, as the sooner they moved to a cooler place where the less affluent members of the group wanted to stop every five seconds to admire the landscape, the better.

"But wait! There's more, Gashadokuro are humanoid giant skeletons, which means that if we don't tread lightly and poke the giant enemy skeleton too much before we manage to disable the subfortresses... we uh, we might have to face off against a kaiju sized heavily armored giant skeleton armed with cannons big enough to fuck up anyone bold and foolish enough to try and get it to take on someone it's own size in a sanctuary that constantly emulates the only conditions where such an Aramitama... which is why we should honestly just have Marina or Tor dispel this damned thing's invisibility or grant us eyes that can see before we even consider opening fire." Immanuel started to slowly drift towards the nearest subfortress as he ordered his drone to circle around towards the massed line of mononoke and try to find an entrance into the subfortress, "Also I highly recommend that you avoid getting any blood spilled on you or letting them spill blood anywhere, since we really don't want the damned thing to wake up any more than it already has". Immanuel will then quickly move upwards to get a better vantage point/take better aim at the mononoke residing down below.

Immanuel nodded and said "Well the good news is that if we can find a way to remove the wards the Mononoke are undoubtedly wearing and put them on ourselves we could just..... let their own fortress kill them in a stunning display of being hoist by their own petard, and that I am fairly sure that the five of us can destroy this whole thing by ourselves with very little effort if we can disable the power source they presumably have somewhere inside of each of their fortresses and just.... wait for it to starve to death as it consumes more power than it gains. The bad news is that as it is right now the main fortress is both practically invincible and extremely willing to kill any living creatures that so much dares as exist in its general direction with... am I saying this right? kegera based blasts that will curse the shit out of you and call down all sorts of natural disasters on your ass, but you can pretty easily tell if it is targetting you hear ringing inside of your ears."

Rosalyn waved gently at the newcomer and said "I just placed Miles on top of their head and they perked up real quick despite looking as if they hadn't slept in a week after getting that weird tattoo on their neck, but why are you asking anyway~?," as she finished saying this sentence her Miles blinked once at the newcomer and let out a cute little kyu~ sound.

Immanuel rather helpfully decides to add, "That sounds like a Gashadokuro, which means that I have good news and bad news, which one do you guys want to hear first?"
