Basic Defense. -
Black clouds bleed into existence, swirling around Izumi as she launches forwards, a miniature storm with muzzle flash for lightning, and gunshots for thunder. Hitting wasn't the priority, hitting seemed to jack shit anyway. She'd like it to harm, but everyone would like a lot of things and will be getting none of them, no, the objective of this was to simply apply pressure, and keep that pressure up until something breaks be it him or her. Tempest Bloom II on Mighty Marx. This inflicts Overwhelm with a Duration of 3 Turns and a Cooldown of 3 Turns. Overwhelm reduces the victim's RES by the user's DEX (=9).
-
Izumi sends Sif down the shaft first as to trigger any traps and scout out ahead, she then flies down with the rest of the group.
-
Dimitri Kuznetsov, 16/29 con = 4; res = 2 + 5; dex = 0; itl = 8 + 1 + 1; //+1 from Diabolical Machinations as Sealing Gel II is cooling down str = 6; syn = 0; //Sealing Gel II has 1/2 cooldown remaining Assist I on Atton: +INT/3 (= 3) to Atton's relevant stat for his action (INT) on his (so it ignores Dimitri's place in the INIT Order) turn (so Atton's action now heals for 8 + 3 HP).

"Gasmasks? Why do we need gasmasks?" Drawing her weapon, Izumi angles the barrel as to blast out the latches and lock without damaging the contents of the room. And then, she opens fire. >>>>>>Play Eye of the Tiger while you give it a training montage

Greater good? What?

Hallway is impassable. Trapped. There's a door nearby. I'll check. Won't breach just yet. The door looked breachable, assuming it hadn't been magically fortified. It looked convenient as well. And it lookef out of place. In short, it was most likely a trap. Or the correct way masquerading as such. There is always pressure in an infiltration or assault, a rush or a hurry, something chasing your heels. The trick's to stay calm, lest you fuck up. Can't say she was too good at that, but that wasn't her job either. She sends Sif over to the door to inspect the floor, the handle, the lock, and the hinges. Are there signs people have used this door recently? Are there signs this door has been used quite a few times? Stains or markings on the handle and lock? Signs of wear on the hinges or lock or handle? Any traces of anything on the floor?

((Running a temperature, so this will be a lot briefer than I'd like it to be.)) Guards approaching. Lots of them. Halls definitely trapped with magic. Izumi sends Sif forwards to the exact same place. If he doesn't explode, just clear out the traps using avatars of Sif as a conga line of lemmings, otherwise, use the avatars to try and find a safe path.
-
Path's clear, appears to be at least. Be on your guard, Aztech specialises in magic, so not everything can be seen.
-
"So, how do we fix you?"
-
"I'm afraid that won't be happening - there'll be an army covering it by the time we're done. Guess we'll be blasting another way out." She nods and beings stalking off ahead, instructing Sif to keep to the shadows. "Lexiel's in a bad shape, can't say Visrii's faring much better. Things aren't looking too good, but you already know that." A tired, bitter chuckle "Ten minutes. I've brought us ten minutes, if we're lucky. After that... there's no telling what hell will rain down."
-
"Christ you alright? You're coughing up fucking blood! Lexiel, you back to you senses now? We need to hurry - the curse will only last for so long." Izumi sends Sif on ahead to scout, quickly catching up with Halley on account of being able to fly. Edmond, I have cursed the area. I don't know how long it will last. Hope you have an exit plan. >>>>Celebratory lines of coccaine.
-
Izumi leaps, and ascends before swooping down to catch the falling and quite possibly fallen angel. She's lost her damn mind, and now seemed to just reek of impurity. Couldn't do much about the former, she ain't no shrink, but the latter? Well it was worth a shot. The mechanisms on y r arm hands her a fresh magazine and she presses it against Lexiel's chest. By this point, it was no longer a matter of hoping, nor of what-ifs and consequences, it was just a haze of adrenaline and cursing mixed with the usual cravings for whiskey. "Sif, gonna need your help with this..." Purge Casket on Lexiel. Try and siphon away any impurity and seal it within the magazine.
-
Izumi slips , her normally cold demeanor twisting into one of incredulous rage and abject horror as black ichor bleeds from the world around her, the deathly sludge pooling at her feet, the storm clouds beginning to rumble "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR GODDAMN MIND? DO YOU KNOW WHAT AN ARCOLOGY IS? IT'S A CITY! IT'S A FUCKING CITY! YOU JUST BOMBARDED A GODDAMN CITY! I CAN ALREADY FEEL THE IMPURITY SEEPING THROUGH. WE ARE NOT HERE TO FIGHT A FUCKING ARMY, GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE, BREAK THE FUCKING BOOK AND LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT! YOU'RE PULLING THE SHIT YOU ALMOST SHOT HALLEY FOR. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? GET IN THE HOLE, GET IN THE FUCKING HOLE, I'LL COVER YOU." There's a flash of light, a blast of heat, and then, a mushroom cloud. A great cloud of roiling darkness looming above, drifting towards the incoming personel. Flashes of burning light crackle within like lightning, and a sickly black rain, closer to tar than water begins to fall. It was a curse, the same curse that she had uses on the Knight Errant, now boosted by the demise of a nauseatingly large number. Gather impurity from all those who have perished and curse the land with Black Squall.
-
"JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? FUCK! There's a damn army of spirits coming our way! If it was just one shaman I could handle them, but it's an entire group of them, and they look real damn confident." Edmond would soon get a reply, a hurried one at that, simply reading Leave. Now. Spirit army inbound.
-
"Whoa whoa whoa, cut that shit out! We're heading down the elevator shaft aren't we? That floor is not a shaft." She sends Sif flying out ahead of her, scouting out the way to their destination "We need to get going."

-
Izumi Kurosawa: 23/38 HP; VR at 3/3 Basic Attack (2d3+DEX = 2d3+8 Melee) on Leopard Guard E.
-
Izumi Kurosawa: 31/38 HP Izumi gestures at Leopard Guard A "Focus fire on him." as she closes her fist, a dark aura implodes around him. "They're going to try and kill the mages first. Keep that in mind before you cast anything." Violent Recompense II on Leopard Guard A (Inflicts Remunerate (Allies targeting the victim with a negative action may reduce any of their current cooldowns by 1, including the action they used to trigger this). 2 Duration, 3 Cooldown.) If Leopard Guard A is dead by Izumi's turn, Basic Attack on whichever remaining Leopard Guard has the highest initiative.

FUBAR. Stay away. Can't say much in case msgs are being intercepted. No evac plan.

Izumi slowly circles the dragon, looking at it, though having not the care to see much at all. "By my reckoning, the civilians will flee if we give them the chance. As everyone else..." She comes to a stop "I sure hope this can take a hit. AzTech's a triple-A, it answers only to itself and the Corporate Court, a Court it has a representative in I should add. Point is, we're basically declaring war on something equal to a nation, probably greater even, one with barely anything to answer to. I've a feeling even if we crash this as far deep as we can, they won't even flinch. So shock and awe, if any, won't last." She climbs onto the dragon, gripping it but not too tight as a dove appears beside her. "By the way, magic's their specialty, so don't grip too tight, we'll probably have to dismount real quick. Oh and, just as an FYI, dragons are bad news here, so we'll be expecting... just about everything they've got the minute they even see us. No pressure."

Between swigs of scotch Izumi responds, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly "A dragon? Got a description we can use?"
