Micah Nanogurke:((change of Colour))
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Who are you talking to Singha?)
Ningyo:((appearing tonight as Dana, Zusanna, and Lucinda. Be very afraid!))
Wairs Dani:((okay gotem music))
Singha:(( okay everybody...In the interest of saving time and not repeating myself....the description of the place you are in is in Prophecy #4 on the following page: http://singhasutra.50megs.com/NYC/archives/7prophecies.htm ))
Dana Mackintosh:*in the car, still seething over whats-his-name*
Wairs Dani:*curled up around Nikita/Raya making soft mewing and purring noises*
:*Waits to find out what nick to take to lessen confusion*
Singha:((If you guys want to RP amongst yourselves in the car and in the cavern while I fill in my helper ST's that would be cool))
Dana Mackintosh:((simon went grocery shopping, and he bought these banana-chocolate popsicles that are called Space Monkey Pops))
Micah Nanogurke:((I've got too much going on to archive today..can someone else do that?))
Wairs Dani:((I can *heads out to open Word*))
Micah Nanogurke:*chaz can hear, in his mind, the voice of Micah. she speaks words of reassurance to Malcolm with a wisdom she should not possess for her age.*
Dana Mackintosh:*giving directions and enjoying the ride, having never been in the umbra or pattern web before*
Dana Mackintosh:*can feel Micah, strangely, through the key*
Chaz/Nikita:*Has given up on Uncle and Marcus, bleeding from the wound Malcolm gave Chaz's body...*
Singha:((Important stuff on the link is prophecy #4, last 2-3 paragraphs. ))
Chaz/Nikita:*Is laying silent now on the table, eyes closed, concentrating and focusing on Malcolm, soothing words to him in his time of pain.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue: *Looks at Stoney still feeling the Transdent Love he felt earlier. He speeks to him in Cherokee.*
Singha:((actually last 4 paragraphs))
Wairs Dani:*after a few moments more she brings her hand up to wipe her eyes before looking up again, how can she tell those she loves of that secret fear that is starting to well up inside her...truth be told she cannot*
Ningyo:~a small figure appears in the doorway and begins to move towards the table~
Ningyo:((That should have been red, sorry for any confusion))
:*and she is focused as she is. Her only concern right now is Malcolm and the torrent of love and reassurance she and Chaz-that-is-notChaz provide him with. she can however, gratefully open her eyes scince Fairlight has moves away from her and she does so to look at the father and son again.*
Zus/Lucinda:~Zusanna is dressed for the occasion, in absolutely nothing but her tattoos. Usually hidden, they seem to move over her, gray and shadowy, red and black and solid, twisting together. Runes of death, all~
Micah Nanogurke:((that would be, me))
Dana Mackintosh:*in the car, Dana's mouth drops open* Bitch!
Chaz/Nikita:*Keeps her eyes closed, it's eaiser that way. Face void of any emotions as the pain begins to subside from the gut shot, and her breath returns to her.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Respond in Cherokee to Blue. And puts a hand on Waris' shoulder.* I am here to help you. / Blue:*Tears well up in his eyes. Knowing what Stoney is true.*
Zus/Lucinda:~she walks barefooted over the runes and blood on the floor. She walks to the altar, and begins to circle it, running a finger up and down Chaz's side and through his hair~
Wairs Dani:Stoney> Am I the Princess, am I going into the mouth of the abyss?
Dana Mackintosh:*still clutching the key, Dana turns to Rocky (the driver?)* Hurry up!! *fear making her voice high and sharp*
Chaz/Nikita:*She opens her eyes, looking to the woman for a moment, then closing them agian, taking a deep steadying breath.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:I know. We have known for some time. You were told the day you returned. I will do all I can to prevent the rite being played out on you.
Zus/Lucinda:~she circles him three times, her fingers light against the sensitive places on his body, giving rise to lust inside him~
Singha:*the ride in the car is a wonderful, crackling rollercoaster ride of scintillating color and intricat patterns of light, an instant that seems to last for eternity...quite breath taking.*
Wairs Dani:Stonewall> What then if it is the mothers will that I do this, who are we to defy the mother. Perhaps it was my own mistake and when I chose to let you both live I should have killed him there and this is my payment.
Zus/Lucinda:~From the end of the table, she raises herself gracefully to kneel across his legs~
Malcolm:*still writhing in utter and complete agony, with Uncle standing over him, gloating for a moment, drinking in his pain and delivering it to his Master. Angu, the Urge Wyrm of Cruelty....*
Chaz/Nikita:9,1,8,9,5,1,5,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:No, Waris. Love is inclusive not exclusive. You love us both and we love you. You did the right thing.
Dana Mackintosh:*becoming increasingly anxious as they still have not arrived*
Zus/Lucinda:~smiles down at Chaz to see him rise in response to her touch. She slides her hands up and down his side, palms pressing sharply against his ribs and hip bones~
Waris Dani:I should have never tried to heal the other, then he would have had no need to heal me and would have been safe within the Park.
Micah Nanogurke:*she watches the other woman drape herself across Chaz *
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:Waris, love is from the Mother. Have faith in it.
Chaz/Nikita:*Growls in PAIN , he's been beaten and he's sore, he's bleeding from a slash wound somewhere... Resisting, asking Malcolm and Micah for help.... in their connected minds*
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:Waris, have faith the Love of your Fathers will be here to help you. I still carry your gift with me.
Dana Mackintosh:*She pulls her asp out of her belt and holds it in her left hand*
Micah Nanogurke:*she gently speeaks to Malcolm with understanding and comfort* (mindspeak) I know it hurts...*soothingly* it will end. This too shall pass.
Waris Dani:Play it then, the song you said you sang to me, we all need comfort if only for this breif moment.
Singha:*the energy in the cavern gets electric for an instant, the smell of ozone crackling through over the putrid scent of teh ritual candles....and a black Lincoln Towncar with a giant quasi cockroach clinging to the roof erupts out of the brand on Chaz's chest, slamming into Zus and knocking her back and away from Chaz.*
Dana Mackintosh:*sees Zus against the windshield like a bug* YES!
Malcolm:8,2,2,3,
Malcolm:*adds his resolve to Nikita's*
Zus/Lucinda:~is just leaning over Chaz when...~ Ooof! ~slam, bang, crack~
Chaz/Nikita:*Opens her eyes, reverting to German in her shock* ~German~ What the fuck?!?!
Micah Nanogurke:*she fgeels compassion for the poor girl who was slammed by the car. Unfourtunate soul. still, the path she walks is dark. though the headlights may have alliveiated that for a second.*
Singha:*there is...for an instant...utter and complete shock from all those ritualists assembled as the Towncar flies through the air and lands with a resounding WHAAAAAMPP! on the dais, barreling into the line of corrupted shifters at teh perimeter of the platform, knocking a few of them over. BRighton Leigh, the Dodo-Headed leader of this Rite, scowls from his vantage from the balcolny over looking the proceedings and shouts a command in Pictish.*
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:Both *Ready to leap out of the car.*
Zus/Lucinda:(feel no pity for this bitch!) ~whacks the shifter nearest to her with an angry half-scream~
Dana Mackintosh:*Jumps out of the car!*
Singha:*the corrupted shifters all move into action...but instead of attacking the new arrivals, they attack each other, it seems...no....wait...they're not attacking each other....they're sodomizing each other....Ewwwww!*
Waris Dani:*moves out of the car as her face elongates, shifting to Chrinos*
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:*Raya's eyes go wide* Bloody hell!!! That's the biggest bloody bug I've ever seen. *Eyes wide in amazement*
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:*RAYA/Nikita scrambling to get out of the car* NIKI!!! We're here!!! I told you!!! *Rushing over to Chaz/Nikita*
Micah Nanogurke:*she smiles. it's the only thing she can do right now. she looks at Malcolm's form though* (mindspeak) see how they come to help you Malcolm. This man is not the only one you've ever had with you.
Waris Dani:*from her mouth errupts a Roar of outrage, announcing her presence to all*
Dana Mackintosh:*goes straight for Malcolm*
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:(Meaning Zus, the bug they hit with the car. Not Eyes.)
Micah Nanogurke:*it's a really weird sight. bound nakid to a rack, brusied and abused, inner thighs smeared with blood..and smiling somehow..triumphantly*
Zus/Lucinda:~Ah, the biggest failure of her life, that she was not born a shifter. She moans, clutching broken ribs~
Malcolm:*Is writhing still, his bones actually starting to poke through his skin in places, his ligaments snapping from teh spams. Whatever magic Uncle has used on him, was powerful indeed....*
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:Stoney :*Leaps out and moves to Malcolm.*/ Blue : *Leaps out and
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:*Chaz is also wounded, bleeding slowly from the minor wound Malcolm gave him, bruised from the beating and well, he has a hard on.* *Raya attempts to hug Chaz/Nikita*
Zus/Lucinda:*She lays her hands on and starts countering*
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:...looks grossed out and confused waiting for Jimmy instruction.*
Zus/Lucinda:((Shit, wrong window))
Waris Dani:*she turns moving after Raya/Nikita to free her father*
Dana Mackintosh:*lays her hands on Malcolm and starts countering*
Singha:*as the corrupted shifters....do their perverted thing....The walls of the cavern around them start to move....down below in the broad area cut with runes, BSD's are raping and cutting open kidnapped chldren, allowing teh blood to pool in the runes.*
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:*whispers* Raya... Can you get me free? *Nikita looking to Malcolm, sending him the love, the compassion.*
Dana Mackintosh:*yells at other Gaians* Them!! Them!! *she points at the two on the altar, the dodo bird and the redhead*
Dana Mackintosh:2,5,8,
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:*Gives Waris a greatful look as Raya helps her with the bindings* Her too, hurry... we're running out of time....*Nodding towards Micah*
Dana Mackintosh:((1 suxx against Uncle's magick))
Waris Dani:*she carefully draws her claws across the bindings holding Chaz and then turns to Micah*
Singha:((Okay... *hits pause* Dana roll for your counter, Raya, roll 10d10 for your hug, Micah, Malcolm, Waris, Blue roll your GN, and Nikita/Chaz roll your WP))
Waris Dani:2,5,6,7,
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:1,5,6,5,6,6,10,9,8,3,
Nikita/Raya/Chaz:7,4,7,5,5,2,3,
Malcolm:5,10,8,9,
Micah Nanogurke:10,6,4,6,
Singha:((Dana, do you still have your corr opening the Key?))
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:8,2,9,3,7,10,9,8,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*And somewhere below within the twisted ground.. a Knight rises and begins his rise to the surface through the caverns of this place.*
Dana Mackintosh:((yeah))
Stonewall & BLueJay-Flies:Stonewall: *Will attack to get to Malcolm and free Malcolm. He will instantly shift to crinos to attack.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*Adorned in the mail of House and station.. a truely glistening reflection of raw and purest beauty... that marks his birthright and heritage..*
Malcolm:*Dana's touch chases the Hedge Magic away...somehow, she's far more powerful than she expected. He begins to heal...and suddenly, his skin begins to darken...his hair going from red to silver....and he starts to grow.*
Dana Mackintosh:*steps back a little in surprise*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*Around and around the wicked tunnels of the cavern he ascends... to the throne and seat of the fire that now rages above...*
Singha:((We're still paused for a few secs...Just pretend Marcus came in right before the car arrived...))
Micah Nanogurke:*watches the proceeedings with both the unquellable cuiosity she was born with and a sense forknowledge.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:(( he's coming up during the initial combat.. consider this flavor / atmosphere text.. he's not taken the field yet..))
Singha:((hang on, let me roll for Eyes' Key, and let me tell you guys what happened with your rolls...))
Singha:2,
Chaz/Nikita/Raya:(maybe it'll let me keep the nick if it's this way)
Singha:*Eyes skitters off the hood of the car, moving to an open space to begin engaging in combat. She tries desperately to open her Key, but it doesn't work. *
:The nick loss is a glitch *G*
Chaz/Nikita/Raya:(I know. *g*)
:*nods and toddles back off to lurkerdom*
Singha:*Blue, Micah, and Raya feel a burning in their chests, Dana feels the powers surge through her link to the Buddha presence in Micah and out across the web of love that is between those who bear the Rose. Although she didn't feel the initial surge, Waris feels her chest start to burn as well as a warm, compassionate peace emanates throught the keys, and through the Web. Zus cries out in anguish and rage as the Key she holds in her hand literally burns a hole in her flesh...*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*Following the fomorian trails through this place, calling upon the deep root of glamour within these walls and its twisted designs within him he lets it consume him and then flow freely from his form, his rage at these uninvited guests growing into a cold smoldering inferno..his presence wyrded revealing the depths of raw , purity and majestic grandeur about the ground he walks upon and field he commands.*
Chaz/Nikita/Raya:*Raya being the child he is, begins to cry, clutching at his/her chest. Nikita gasps and closes her eyes again, *
Waris Dani:*she turns back to her father lips parting in the only thing she can say* ~kh~ I never stopped loving you. *her massive paws reaching up to cover the place on her chest where the rose burns*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue: *Stands feeling the love and sharing it. As he accepts the pain.*
Singha:*Nikita feels the link between her and Raya pulse with a flood of spiritual strength she's never known before...it flows through the web in the room....filling all those connected with a deep senese of Oneness.*
Malcolm:*Malcolm continues to grow...those who have been in the presence of Judgement before...Now realize they have only seen the merest glimpse of what this Spirit really is...What Malcolm is...what he has become...is a night black Crinos werelion with a short silver mane, Silver claws, and golden, piercing eyes filled with the compassion Micah seems to radiate.*
Singha:*Brighton scowls at all this, and snaps his fingers, calling out to Wim to control his whelp...commanding Chaz as if he is the man's Lord. And Chaz--the corrupted part of Chaz.--responds.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Waiting for what it is Stoney and Blue do next?)
Singha:(*unpausing*)
Nikita/Raya/Chaz/Nikita:*Isn't about to let Corrupted Chaz do ANYTHING, she keeps thinking loving thoughts* I love you... *She looks at Raya, knowing they need to switch back...*
Micah Nanogurke:*she stays, as she is still and silent. at least to vocal ears. She does feel the bruning in her chest,somehow amidst all the other pain. She accept this and watches carefully the scene before her.*
Waris Dani:*she turns again to Micah and reaches out with her claws, carefully cutting her free*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Moves to Malcolm to free and heal him.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*Blazing with a firey rage, perhaps only posssesable by the hearts and alien fae souls of the Sidhe, The Balor Lord takes the field, a Blazing firey blade in hand as his eyes turn to the purity of emotion upon the field in which he truely revels.. hatred, love.. both like daggers, arrows merely for the twisting.. and love denied.. like so much in this world.. let it flow , and find its self coiled into the belly of this place.. *
Singha:*there is a ear-shattering, collective howl from the corrupted
shifters at the perimeter of the circle as they all orgasm at once, and
then begin to tear each other to shreds, they're blood spilling out across
the floor, filling the runes carved there... The platform shudders violently
as the walls slide past in a downward spiral, the maze compressing, the
coils of the Serpent collecting itself...readying for action..*
Singha:((Waris, roll your damage to cut the bonds...you need a 10 sux,
you can roll extended.))
Waris Dani:10,3,4,5,3,6,4,7,
Nikita:*Raya is helping the cut free(?) Chaz stand....* HURRY UP!! WE GOTTA SAVE THEM!!!
Micah Nanogurke:*she starrts to slide down the rack (uassuming Waris supports her) as she was bound and lying nearly uside down, with her legs pointted toward the cavern celing. She's obviuosly in no condition to physicly support herself*
Singha:*Uncle looks up to Malcolm, and then to the wounded Zus, who's hand is bubbling and hissing as if the key which has now fallen to the floor through the hole in her hand was pure acid.*
Micah Nanogurke:(hold my post then. *G*)
Waris Dani:3,10,7,3,7,4,6,8,
Waris Dani:4,4,3,8,2,5,8,2,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *When he realizes her can not cut Malcom free he shifts to Crinos to cut him free.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*He lets the love in the room drive him giddy, fueling the cold fury within as his derranged mind perverts it twisting it into desires.....but for now, it is enough that it is there to ride upon.. *
Waris Dani:7,10,8,4,3,7,4,3,
Waris Dani:((the dice roller loves me))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:1,5,8,4,9,3,6,9,8,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue: *Shifts to Crinos and readies himself to battle the knight. Watches the others with love in his eyes.*
Singha:*Rocky rolls down the window of the towncar and tosses a cell phone out into the air over the large open area below the platform. As the phone arcs out, a Dragon erupts from it, with Jimmy, and Rome riding on it's back.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*as he takes the field he begins cutting a swath of destruction through the ranks of those he passes.. eventually throwing a handful of sand at stonewall.. enchanting him with the dark glamour that seethes within his corrupt soul..*
Singha:((Stoney, Malc was never bound...he was just writhing on the floor in pain. Then Dana healed him, and he began to grow and transform into Judgement.))
Micah Nanogurke:*now she's free, but obviuosly not in any condition to support herself. yet*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Ok) Stoney: Help Malcolm up and tries to walk him back to the car.*
Nikita:Nikita- We need to get them back together.... *She looks at Micah* All three of them... *She looks back to Raya, putting her hand on the Rose. Looking into Raya's eyes.*
Waris Dani:*she reaches out and picks up Micah eaisly, holding her close as she turns to see if her help is needed with any of the others*
Malcolm:*as Dana continues to hold the Key open, Silkie runs out of the Towncar and runs to scoop up the fallen Key .*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:2,3,1,2,10,3,2,4,6,
Singha:*Uncle scowls at Zus' failure and picks her up, tossing her aside as if she was rubbish. He turns to pick up the Key, and finds Silkie has snatched it.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*with a glare of twisted love for the battle at hand, its chaos surrounding him, he curses at stonewall* IGNITE !.. *and a swathe of wyrded fire engulfs him..*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:4,
Singha:*Nikita can tell that the one thing keeping Chaz from being complete is his own self-hatred and self loathing...it is this that the Dodo-headed guy seems to be commanding, and this that Chaz himself seems to feel is the defining core of his existence.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor:*the fire burns and singes stoney, yet for the most part does perhaps no more than send fear into his heart, and singe his body and fur*
Nikita:*She looks at the Marlon Brando economy size freak of nature and growls* Him!!! We need to get rid of him.... NOW!!! *She wishes she could do more to help, looking around for something to use, anything*
Micah Nanogurke:*as she feels the presence leaving her slowly, she summons the long-queeled Rage within her and shifts into Crinos...No doubt the strangest Crinos of her kind Waris has ever seen..a 6 1/2 foot tall Cat, with tufts of fur along her jawline and between her ears, almost like she tried to grow a mane and couldn't quite, or something. She staggers for a second while her body re-sets and her wounds slowly begin to heal*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Does not respond to the flame. Tries to Help Malcolm/ Judgement.*
Waris Dani:*she lets Micah go, reguarding her in curiousity for a moment before turning towards where Nikita pointed, left ear twitching now as her lips part reveling huge teeth*
Malcolm:*does not appear to need help at this juncture...is just continuing to grow....now about 20 feet tall...an ebony furred, silver mane ~being~ that seems to be locked in a battle of wills with Uncle.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):7,9,4,1,8,8,7,5,2,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue : *Moves to Dodo Head guy.*
Singha:*Brighton, the Dodo-headed guy, is standing on a Balcony overlooking the ritual area. As the Serpent forms in the air above them all, the Dragon, Krulldaga, begins to battle it.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Looks at Uncle.* Let him go. He is not yours any more.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*his eyes glare at nikita and with an adeptly unfurled fist whose fingers dance like the masters of little marionettes he unleashes a vicious blast of firey heat at her.. her body catching fire, flesh singing like a chocolate bar left on the street at high noon in the summer of some long forgotten sahara plain*
Nikita:*The link is still there, she sends some of her resolution and her strength to JUDGEMENT*
Nikita:(uh DLP Then... Nikita's body right? )
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):(yes, her body)
Waris Dani:*she starts moving as quickly as she can towards Brighton, ready to rip him a new one*
Nikita:*RAYA SCREAMS, a bloodcurdling scream as he's set on fire. He begins dancing around, trying to put it out as her flaxen hair and tan flesh can be smelt as they burn....*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue: *Gets to the wall near the Balcony and tries to climb up to Dodo Head.*
Singha:*Uncle snarls at Stonewall, waving his hand*
Nikita:*Nikita/Chaz* NO!!!!!!!!!! *watching in horror, attempting to help in some way.*
Nikita:(How much burn damage each round? It's non soakable right? )
The Black Sword:The gigantic cockaroach with the scythe-like appendages focuses over the Key she possesses, her exoskeleton opening slightly to reveal her underside as she brings it out with her human hands. In the distance the curious sound of machine gun fire can be heard echoing through the tunnels leading to the cavern.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Moves to Raya.* Raya, calm down. *Tries to hold him to calm him.*
Waris Dani:*sees Blue up against the wall and gets an idea, she sheathes her claws and moves quickly towards his back to climb up him to the balcony*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*eyes deftly dart across the field taking it all in as his cold fury rages unabatted, nikita's fire only scraping the surface of his cold hatred..*
Singha:*Snarls suddenly, his massive paw slamming down on Fairlight,*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):allows the caster to engulf a chosen target in searing fire, generally consuming it within minutes or even seconds. The flame acts like normal fire once released, and successes indicate how many Health levels of damage are inflicted
Nikita:*RAYA sobs as Nikita's body burns, unable to quite calm down but drops to the ground.*
Singha:*up above them Dragon battles Serpent in a clash that is utterly awe inspiring, if those around had an opportunity to look.*
Micah Nanogurke:*feeling a bit better now, she goes in the direction of the burning..person. *
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):5,7,8,5,7,8,8,10,8,
Singha:*as the flame twists around Nikita/Raya, a rage seems to spill out of her, hot, and pure....transforming that twisted love which fueled Fairlight's flame into a righteous fury....after the intial damage the fire takes on a holy light...and does not seem to damage her body anymore...but actually heals it.*
Singha:1,7,7,9,7,2,3,
Waris Dani:*she starts up Blue's back her paws on his shoulders pushing herself upwards, as she lets go of him she pops her claws out reaching for the edge of the balcony*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Is trying to put the flames out.*
Singha:((that was too hit Marcus))
Waris Dani:7,4,3,8,2,5,7,
Waris Dani:((that is Dex+Athletics to get up to the balcony))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*with in an instant of the paw's touching him he vanishes in a flicker of dark desheveled glamour.. appearing atop the balcony over looking the carnage..below*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(DLP)
The Black Sword:The cockaroach is concentrating completely upon the Key in her hands -- almost seeming oblivious of the battle going on around her, though her antenae flicker back and forth so quickly they only seem a blur above her head. She begins to move her lips slowly in an incantation. The stones beneath her begin to crack.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):(last roll was flickerflash to avoid)
Singha:*Waris reaches the balcony, coming face to face with Brighton, who cackles at her, his body twisting...melting into a horrible demonic shape...a glutinous mass covered with mouths and long, penis like tentacles which whip out toward her, capturing her in their grasp if she doesn't manage to leap away.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: (Activates Coils of the Serpent to Grab the Knight and Dodo man on the Balcony. Unless that is drawing on the Serpent over head.)
Waris Dani:1,8,9,9,5,5,9,9,
The Black Sword:Without warning the entire cavern shakes drastically, and an overpowering muffled boom sounds from somewhere nearby. Gravel and dirt sprinkles down upon the combatants as a few cracks appear in the ceiling. Moments later the distant gunfire sounds again.
Singha:*Nikita can feel Chaz recoil at the appearance of the demonic presence on the balcony. He fears it like no other...he knows he belongs to it...*
Waris Dani:((that was Dex+Dodgr to avoid being grappled))
Singha:((Yes, Stoney, in this Realm, that would be drawing on the Serpent over head.))
Nikita:No! NO YOU DON'T *Struggling with Chaz's fear* You don't belong to that fucker!!! You don't belong here at all!!! You're not like them Chaz... Everyone here knows it but you!!!
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*Atop the Balcony Marcus takes the side of his compatriot and smiles blowing a kiss at Waris..his breath the icy love of the damned and the loving it *
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Then he does not.)
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):8,9,3,3,6,7,8,9,3,
Singha:*seems to have stopped growing, and is growling under his breath...glaring at the demon on the balcony. His words ring out across the platform in a language which is incredibly ancient, and yet somehow intelligible to all.* You have kept Luvah from me....
Singha:((erk, swaps nicks back--you guys get the color, right?))
Nikita:(Right, it's cool, don't worry about it. Chaz/Nikita is able to move right?)
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):(( warris, give me intelligence + alertness ? ))
Singha:((I belive Waris freed both Micah and Chaz?))
Waris Dani:*she senses the Lord there, sees his appearance, her eyes drawn to him as he blows her a kiss but then she looks back to the deamon and reaches a large paw back trying to thrust it into this monstrusity*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(How much higher is the Balcony the Blue?)
Waris Dani:((yep freeded them both DLP))
Waris Dani:8,8,8,4,
Nikita:*She looks to Dana* I need that glock, something, anything!!!! *Raya is doing his holy glowing thing, Nikita now completely naked, since it's doubtful that it returned her clothing. And yes, she's a natural blonde.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Waris is still on the Balcony?)
Singha:((Balcony is 40 feet above the platform))
Waris Dani:((yep she's up there still))
Singha:*Dana nods and hands Nikta her weapon, keeping most of her concentration on the Key. She looks to Silkie and Eyes who each have their Keys...Silkie is trying to attune hers, and Eyes to open hers*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*the glamour inherant in his breath and the kiss upon warris enchanting her ferocious figure, marcus simply tilts his head and soothingly smiles and whispers to her.. * Good night my love.. i will remember you fondly in my dreams for all time.. *and he winks as her actions slow down by half her body simply out of time and place.*
Singha:((Waris would have to jump completely off the balcony area to avoid the tentacles...sorrry I didn't make that clear..))
Micah Nanogurke:*she speaks to Chaz as well, chiming in with Nikki's words*, but not in his ears, rather, in his mind* (mindspeak) listen to me Chaz..not them. think about what they did to your son, the illusions they used on him. They use the same ones on you now. it is the bondds of your mind which keep you here..not anything they have of you.
Nikita:*She moves back over to Raya* Raya... We need to switch. I need to be able to use the key... Can you do this?! *Gun in hand, she's going ot pop the next thing that even looks funny at her.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Charges up Blue to the Balcony.* Not my daughter, you fiend.
Waris Dani:((okay she didn't try to avoid the tenitcals because she doesn't want to go back down now that she's up here so she got caught then Chronosed))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):(Waris at half rate for 4 turns)
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:7,9,6,7,5,8,6,
Singha:((Since Waris-p chose not to have her jump clear...)) *The tentacles wrap they're way around Waris, holding her fast...so many...so active....the mouths bite into her....the tentacles moving to invade her orifices....*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(If Waris is not on the Balcony DLP.)
The Black Sword:One of the tunnles leadin into the lare cavern erupts in a stream of flashy, but quickly dissipatin bluish white flames.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*with that Marcus turns and re-enters the massive holding cavern beyond the balcony.. enmeshing himself once again in its recesses.. *
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:*Stoney leap at the Demon. Claws out to rake.*
Waris Dani:*she tries to struggle against them spending Rage to offset the effects of the strange magic, her jaws snapping at any tentical that dares get close to them*
Silkie:She channels personal quint through her key, trying to purge it's patterns.
Silkie:2,2,5,9,9,
Singha:*Raya shakes his head to Nikita/chaz* Chaz won't let me use the body...
Nikita:*She sighs, frustrated* Dammit Raya!!! This isn't the time for that. WE HAVE TO DO IT AND VERY SOON!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!
The Black Sword:From the tunnel that just erupted comes a pair of men wearing futuristic body armor, faces hidden behind mirrored spherical helmets. Embossed on their right shoulders are flaming black swords. One of them has what looks to be the barrel of a gattling un for his left forearm. The other carries another firearm in his right -- something that doesn't look like it should be made for another 200 years or so. They both enter with guns pointed before them, ready to blast anything which acts in offesniveness towards them.
Singha:*the corrupted shifters have all shredded themsselves, and lie in twisted, bloody heaps, their blood pooling in the runes....filling out the designs...*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*he runs along the corridors within, cutting down any intruders and taking several stores of glamour infused nourishment and dashes back down and through the complex.. engaging and cutting down those that would dare intrude.. his awe and raw purity terrifying in its forcefullness as his flaming sword cuts through all who would oppose him..*
Eyes:She centers herself and focuses... letting her mind move through the key. Fear. Fear of failure. Fear of the end of all things. She finds her center. (wp)
Singha:*Raya frowns, pouting.* Everybody's always yelling at me....
Eyes:10,
Malcolm:*Malcolm is still seeming to battle wills with Uncle, the two of them with locked gazes, Malcolm growllign softly.*
Nikita:*She grabs Raya, kissing him fiercely and then whispering* If you love me Raya, you'll do this for me... Please.. I need to be in there... Let me in... *Desparation filling her again, mixing with Chaz's fear*
Silkie:6,9,3,3,10,
The Black Sword:The ground beneath Eyes continues to crumble and crack as she focuses. The two soldiers point their weapons at eveyone in turn, trying to decide which Deviants need to die first. They notice the gigantic image before them. But their responses are difficult to judge as their features cannot be seen. Gunfure continues to sound from the caverns, as well as the shredding of steel. Another gigantic boom sets up, shaking the entire cavern again.
Singha:*Raya blinks in surprise and kisses her back...throwing his arms around her and hugging her fiercely.* (Micah, Blue, Waris, and Malcolm roll GN)
Waris Dani:5,4,4,3,
Silkie:(5 sux, prime2) She channels her own wylde quintessence through the key, into it's pattern, impressing herself on it, demanding it remember her in the spirit tongue.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:One of the men reaches into his leg armor, a panel opening to allow him to do so. He removes a small silver rectangle and sets it about six feet ahead of him, tapping some unseen controls on it as he steps back. His orbed helm turns towards his partner and the two of them skirt the edges of the cavern -- away from the box.
Singha:*as Stoney swings his claws at the demon, it's tentacles lash out and take him prisoner as well...his claws cleave into the demon, and puss-filled, foul smelling blood wells up, burning Stoney's paw*
Micah Nanogurke:1,8,5,4,
Eyes:Her carapace flares at the threats, instincts moving her, wings spreading lest the ground fail beneath her.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue : *Hops up to the base of the balcony. Braces his legs against the wall.*
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):9,6,9,5,9,9,2,9,7,
Singha:*And Waris feels her mind being twisted....her will being stripped away...no matter how she struggles, she's caught by this monsterous thing* ((Loses 1 WP per turn, Waris...when you're out of temp, you start to lose permanent.))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):( oh my.. *shudder* )
Waris Dani:*she cries out, in desperation and anguish, still trying to fight against the deamon, not yet willing to give up*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:From the four directions encircling Eyes in the Dark the ground erupts in an explosion of gravel and dirt. Four Lingas shoot up from the earth, softly glowing blue. The Key flashes in her hands and she can feel the pull of it's self-sustained energy as it begins to open.
Silkie:She can feel the talisman responding and grins wildly, looking up at the others. Her book is beginning to glow, the runes flashing
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:A soft red light begins blinking on the silver box. The two soldiers back armor opens up, revealing what looks to be jet rockets on their backs. Blue flame shoots from them and both rise into the air. The distant sound of gunfire continues to sound -- but ever closer.
Malcolm:4,4,4,5,4,5,7,6,9,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue pulls rage and tries to pulls the Balcony down.
Malcolm:*and with Eye's Key open, Dana feels the current of Raya's pure innocence, his swirling Wyld energies crackling through the link, feeding Malcolm, Joining Creation with Judgement. and Redemption.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*out of the Cavern Marcus takes the field again covered in blood and bristling with that unassailable raw presence that is the sidhe gift of terrifing rageful beauty.. unnatural and alien in all his passions.. a flaming sword burning bright..in front of his person.*
Eyes:Razor appendages lash out at the lingas. She's a monster, built for battle and mantid limbs scissor forward as she drops to her scurries.
Eyes:4,5,8,2,2,5,
Singha:*At the embrace Nikita feels that sense of fusion...she feels all the energies swirling around inside her, through her...and then she finds herself back in her body.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:Her appendages never strike the holy images, the blue light surrounding them acting as a buffer. Though it begins to fade quickly in this corrupted Realm. When her appendages are close enough though, she feels as if she's just carresed the phallic of Brahman himself.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue also pushes his str.
Krulldaga:Overhead flames scorch the air, and roars fill the cavern as Krull battles the evil serpent.
Nikita:*She's stunned for a second, shaking her head to clear it as she snatches gun away from Raya... All she needs now is a target.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:9,3,6,8,9,2,4,5,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*he raises his sword to the air with his right arm and with his left holds a shield of abyssal black.. and then in one dramatic motion levels the sword at Malcom.. as a torrent wyrded flame shoots through the sword and engulfs Malcom's body like a raging inferno burning him to the very fibers of his skeletal frame.. *
Silkie:She looks towards Eyes feeling the third key open, and blinks at the lingas.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The two men decide upon their first target -- tentacle man. The on lifts his gattling arm, the other lifts the practically cannon over his shoulder. Blue whisps of light shoot from the gattling arm towards the -- thing, making a thoomp, thoomp, thoomp sound. The other soldier's gun only whirs softly.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Blue as a total of 15 Str in For the Pull on the Balcony.
Singha:*the brand on Chaz's chest flares to life...dark Shadows battling the scintillating rainbows inside the Eagle. He snarls, shifting to Crinos, heading straight for Malcolm.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The red light on the silver box on the ground begins to blink rapdily.
Eyes:((Maybe I should have asked what a lingas was. *L*))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):((9,6,9,5,9,9,2,9,7) =5 levels of fire and 2 more of what could possibly only be fear incarnate)
Nikita:Shit!!! CHAZ NO!!!!!! *She growlstwo people attacking Malcolm, she's gotta help him. She turns, raising the gun at Uncle and fires.*
Nikita:8,7,10,3,6,5,2,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):((prolly not the kinda lingas Marcus likes with little girls and boys ))
Singha:((Okay... *hits pause again* ))
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: Activates Exorcism on the Demon.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: Activates Exorcism on the Demon.
Silkie:Then she looks down at Lord Marcus with a hint of excitement in her, and reaches for 'The Bomb'. She aims with exaggerated care at the breath-taking image below, winding for the pitch.
Singha:((Gimme a sec to catch up and put everyone on the same turn...))
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:9,10,8,6,3,2,10,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:6,8,3,8,9,5,7,6,3,10,6,8,7,9,1,2,
Singha:((Waris, you are out 3 WP, temp...you are being bitten by mouths and have taken 2 unsoakable levels of damage. Blue has succeeeded in pulling down the balcony at the same time the Amalgam shoots at the demon...Stoney is caught in the tentacles and has lost 2 WP already. (temp) Nikita is shooting Uncle....Chaz is moving toward Malcolm...Marcus has just Flamed Malcolm...))
Singha:((Stoney is trying his excorcism gift on the demon...your diff is 9, Stoney you need 5 sux))
Nikita:3,7,1,8,6,7,3,3,5,
Singha:((Did I forget anyone? Krull and the Serpent battle is happening in the background.))
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: Raya, your holy flame here please.
Silkie:Prepares to let loose the BUTTERFLIES OF WAR!
Waris Dani:*cries out feeling her will failing* ~kh~ Father, please...help me.
Silkie:She turns a little entropy on to help her aim.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*That done he quickly takes a moment to look over the field of battle...*
Silkie:7,9,1,2,1,
Silkie:And fizzles on that one, after biting her tongue. Shit. She throws anyway. *FWOOMP
Malcolm:*Malcolm incinerates into an odd looking skeleton and a pile of blue ash. The ash begins to swirl around...surprisingly, the silver mane and the golden eyes remain on the skeleton. Quite a disturbing effect...*
Silkie:9,2,1,2,3,
Singha:*the Amalgam opens fire, shooting at the demon holding the two shifters.*
Silkie:She fumbles the bomb and it rolls down the incline and lands harmlessly at Marcus' feet. It's a pretty stone inlaid with a butterfly pattern.
Silkie:"Ooops."
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):9,1,9,2,5,4,9,5,
Singha:*Nikita's bullet hits Uncle drawing his attention away from the skeleal Malcolm.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The very air around the soldier's firarm seems to suck into it as it's hum grows louder and louder. A strange yellow light begins to flicker at the tip of it. His partner continues to unleash trajectory into the tentacle demon. The light on the box on the ground emits a soft red laser straight towards the celing, where it stops and begins to tilt downwards along the south wall, leaving a strange intangable red wall of light.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Activates the Black Ribbon and gives it to Waris to put on her wrist.*
Eyes:Trapped in her protective barrier, she moves her mind through the key, searching for a way to turn it into a weapon
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*with slashing motion of his hand sword hand he tosses the stone at his feet back at Silkie.. as he nottices her on the field.. in his mind the clarion calls of battle thrumbing in his ears.. like a symphony of madness..*
Nikita:*Well at least he's not going to kill... blink. Malcolm. She groans, running naked for Chaz* STOP!!! What are you doing?!?
Singha:*Chaz has reached the foot of the giant skeleton, he looks up, throwing his arms wide, turning his head up to expose his throat to it.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:In fact as falling rubble heads towards Eyes it is deflected by the invisable barrier. The pages of the Key turn rapidly as she searches.
Waris Dani:*she fighs to get loose still, trying to get her wrist to Blue so he can put the ribbon on*
Malcolm:*the ash swirls up to form a blue sword, crackling with electric energy...Malcolm raises the blade...*
Silkie:She grins as he picks up the stone, and the love of more than a dozen people flows through his mind, eating with mind numbing power at his anger... at his dark side... at the evil. Filling him with a desire for peace, love, tranquility. Silkie jumps to catch her stone.
Malcolm:*and slashes down, cutting off Chaz's head.*
Nikita:NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *She stumbles, to the ground. Eyes going wide as she stares at what Malcolm just did....gun dropping to the floor.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The soldier's firearm erupts in a huge yellowish light that quickly gathers in gigantic ball of swirling energy. The muffled booms from earlier is heard clearly as it shoots from the barrel towards the Demon, gathering more enrgy seemingly, during it's flight. Several more soldiers, three or four, begin coming in through the tunnels, not in as good shape as the first two. The red wall, now having encircled the entire cavern flashes brightly. "Procedure Ready." Can be heard in a femine voice from the silver box on the ground.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*the purity of the love in his soul and mind caresses his passions.. its utter purity keeping alive feeding his desires... calming his battle rage, allowing him to think clearly.. desiring the peace he knew before being so rudely awoken from this afternoon's nap..*
Eyes:Yesss! She nicks a finger, a spot of yellow ichor oozing forth and touches her finger to her brow, creating a bindu, and lets entropy guide her as she stops the pages with a finger and reads.
Singha:*the Demon pauses to resist what the Amalgam is doing to it, giving Waris an opportunity to get her arm out. Uncle starts moving toward Nikita, an evil sadistic grin on his face.*
Eyes:(wp)
Eyes:1,
Nikita:*doesn't notice Uncle's approach, tears flowing down her cheeks as she looks in horror at what just happened to Chaz.*
Waris Dani:*she breaks one hand free reaching it towards Blue, straining to see what Nikita is screaming at*
Silkie:Alright, she needs to get it right this time, and aims at the Malcolm sword thing.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*then he nottices the red and the box and the ensuing closure of the tide.. *
Silkie:7,5,5,7,4,
Malcolm:*Chaz's body slumps, headless....his blood oozing out...gold and silver....spreading arcross the blood filled runes on the floor...His head rolls across the floor, stopping up against Micah's feet.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:( Stoney is giving her the ribbon. Blue is crawling out from under the balcony.)
Silkie:Entropy will guide her hand this time.
Silkie:3,8,2,3,6,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):2,5,5,3,8,1,4,10,8,
Waris Dani:((then she holds her hand out to Stoney))
Silkie:Like a pitcher on the mound, the stone flies at the Malcolm sword. *FOOOOOOSH!*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:At the flash, it seems that the flickering mirage of a large steel lined storage room mirrors the cavern. The rom is not important. It is the mass of like armored soldiers that step from it that is, joining their Amalgam -- along with towering metal horrors weilding firepower up the ass and one small house sized hovering tank. Somebody's pissed.
Singha:*Uncle grabs Nikita, his fangs flashing as he sinks them into her, the Kiss overwhelming her as she succumbs to it's ecstasy.*
Eyes:((glad she burned wp, she burns another and tries again))
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*his motions become a blur for a moment.. as glamour begins to swirl wyrdly about his person.. rising and writhing like whispy tendrils of dark twisted light, yet pure in their own right..*
Eyes:2,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):5,3,7,5,5,8,2,5,8,
Nikita:*Goes limp in his grasp, her head lolling backwards, eyes closing.*
Krulldaga:The black dragon, rent and bleeding, wings ragged, still roars a challenge to the hovercraft.
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):2,9,1,8,10,5,5,3,6,
Malcolm:*the Sword does indeed strike the Bomb.*
Eyes:*Focus, focus. She works at it. She's going to need the luck. and burns yet another will.
The Blue Dragon:Riding the wave of the huge Correspondence Spirit Procedure, with a bursting scream and an explosion of whirling black sand from the ceiling a woman in a deep blue dress descends from the ceiling, each foot setting on a pair of gigantic Crows, held in check by a leash attached to the neck's of each in her hand. Some will recognize Ch'en Salome, but will know she is not exactly the same. Madness in her dark eyes and anger in her scream as she swoops towards Marcus. Following her are an army of small spirits, any coming into contact with them feeling terrible pain, as well as several large men wearing loose pants and turbans. All different colors from green to purple to orange.
Singha:*Uncle drains blood from Nikita. Waris gets the ribbon tied around her (roll GN Waris) and Stoney feels a strange burning in his chest right before the Amalgams cannons hit.*
Silkie:Silkie jumps up with both hands in the air, signalling a touchdown as the sword hits the stone, and sparks fly, fire flies, that erupt into a cloud of brightly colored butterflies that spread like a plague of joy, alighting here, touching there exploding in small bursts of light and imbueing all they touch with a pure and joyous love.
Nikita:*She pales, actually enjoying it, so she doesn't fight it. Her blood tasting of despair, pain and sadness, made sweet by the pleasure....*
Waris Dani:8,4,3,3,
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The soldiers rush to strike against any they consider adversaries. Unusual for their usual role, they do not attack the heroes, but only the enemies. None attack Malcolm, though a group of them begin to surround him at his feet. Some shoot at the screaming crow riding woman, but their bullets never reach. The towering metal terrors join the tank against the attack they recieve upon entrance.
Eyes:1,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:Stoney: *Struggles to stay fighting.*/Blue: *Runs over to attack Uncle.*
Malcolm:*the butterfiles swirl around the skeletal figure, eveloping it completely...consuming it...it breaks clattering to the ground...the butterfiles consuming the bones.*
Silkie:Her eyes narrow on Uncle, and she points at him. "GET HIM! GET HIM!" A whisp of butterflies flutter towards Uncle.
Eyes:She's draining herself and gettin nowhere. She snatches the book open and reads it aloud, her voice rising in the true pictish tongue, ancient and old, before the wyrm's fall.
Singha:*the gold and silver blood continues to pour out of Chaz's headless body, seeming to cleanse whatever it touches. Uncle senses Blue's approach and steps away from Nikita, having only taken 2 blood points from her.*
Nikita:*Just kinda falls to the ground in a heap as he lets go of her. Unable to keep the tears from flowing silently down her cheeks. Eyes closed she sees nothing, having naught the will do anything more. Her spirit crushed.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:A pair of the soldiers quickly move in an attempt to rescue the woman registering as a mundane on their meters, checking Nikita for injury.
Singha:((Did I miss the post on what the cannon does to the demon and Waris and Stoney?))
Waris Dani:*she brings the arm she got free around claws aiming for the other tenticals holding her* ~kh~ I will not fall here.
Nikita:*The only visible injury she'd have would be the one left by Uncle.*
Silkie:She looks down at the blood pouring from Chaz, and drops down, darting across the battle ground to dip her hands in Chaz's blood. Malcolm's gone. He was her best friend. But Uncle... maybe Uncle can still be saved.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:(It might not have gone through) In a firey explosion of yellow and orange light as the energy blast from the cannon strikes the demon, and unfortunately it's captives as well. The entire room shakes with it's explosion, large rocks splintering from the ceiling and falling dangerously towards those below.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(Yes, Because I didn't get it.)
Silkie:She gets another 'silkie' idea. And calls forth the odyllic forces, weaving a new pattern in the air.
Silkie:1,3,3,7,9,
Lord Marcus Fairlight Ap Balor (*Grandeur*):*Marcus then jumps up a solid 5 feet back.. and digs a vicious circle in the ground.. which he then slips into and vanishes*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:One of the soldiers removes a medical kit from his forarm armor and begins patching up the small wounds that she recieved. As he does this, two moe begin carrying her towards a wall in the Cavern, but a door in the softly mirroring image of the steel room.
Singha:*Uncle takes whatever hit Blue gives to him as a Moonbridge crackles darkly behind him. he steps into it and disappears.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(I have to go in 4 minutes. What do I roll to soak?)
Silkie:It's not enough.. and she mumbles a prayer as she dodges falling rocks and continues her weave.
The Blue Dragon:7,4,8,9,9,8,10
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:*Blues Hit does 13 dice of Damage.*
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:10,3,1,10,3,1,1,3,4,4,9,6,8,
Singha:*the demon howls at the damage offered it by the cannon, releasing both it's victims and drawing back inside the cave behind it.*
Nikita:*She is carried off, weeping silently, not protesting anymore, the fight in her gone. The emotional strain of the past 48 hours having been too much to bear along with seeing Chaz's death.*
The Blue Dragon:Ch'en/Salome and her crows as well as the host of spirits and brightly colored men plow into the ground where Marcus vanished, rocks flying up as they do.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:2,10
Eyes:The pages of her book begin to glow, as the talisman is activated again... the weaver's magic, a web of light, one beam at a time beginning to shoot like needle-thin beams, towards the demon as the binding powers of the talisman are called forth.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:7,
Singha:((Stoney, lets just say you're unconscious, cause I need to go, too... Have a plane to catch))
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:(Stonewall and Wari will take 7 Unsoakable agg, but it will deplete their Gnosis before their health levels. Both roll Gnosis)
Waris Dani:8,3,2,4,8,6,6,2,8,
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:(7 Health Levels of Damage to Uncle.)
Waris Dani:((DLP))
Silkie:2,2,1,4,7,
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The soldier's carrying Nikita step ~into~ the wall and disappear.
Silkie:A few curses get inside her prayer, and she shakes her head and starts over, focusing more sharply, her prayer in latin.
Stonewall & BlueJay-Flies:5,7,4,1,8,8,2,8,
Silkie:2,5,4,6,7,
Waris Dani:4,4,1,2,6,
Silkie:Yes! A super soaker appears in her hands, and she starts scooping Chaz's blood into it.
Singha:7,9,4,
Silkie:((Are we pausing here and picking up tomorrow?))
Singha:((Soaked 2 and has 2 fortitude, Uncle's still up, but gone now...))
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The gattling soldier continues firing white/blue beams of light at the demon as the second begins to charge his cannon once more.
Waris Dani:*and then, just like that, she growls trying to stave up the will to keep going thru the massive wound she recieved but it is not enough she takes in her last breath and slups over in the arms of the deamon*
Singha:((Uhm...I'm going to be gone until after the 5th. And there's one more thing that's going to happen...))
:*somewhere in the distance a black BMW sedan that had been sitting a good ways away roars off*
Singha:((Did Silkie ever open her Key?))
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:(If they live Stonewall loses one Perm Gnosis, and Waris loses 2)
Silkie:((Yes, she did.))
Waris Dani:((she didn't make it *sniffs*)) *her body shifts back to her homid form now that her spirit is going to meet with her father's*
Singha:*Somehow in all this, nobody's been paying much attention to the Town Car....*
Singha:((Well, wait a minute...WAris has the Rose tattoo...she's part of the Keys...))
Nikita:(afk for a moment)
Silkie:((Thought I posted it when she attuned the key. If she forgot that little detail of why she's here, she'll remember now. Oh yeah. And open it. *L* I thought we were waiting for the Rose key to work.))
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:(Waris has the Rose tattoo? She won't die if she does. She'll be living purely on the energy t lends her)
Waris Dani:((oh...okay...damn there good that noble death thingie))
Malcolm:*a mound of butterflies...slowly melting into the naked, unconscious body of Malcolm. As Chaz's blood cleanses all the blood from the runes, the channels for the Key energies are finally and completely clear.....And the Amalgam is knocked on it's ass by the explosion of pure....unadulterated...Albion.*
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:And even the unending strength of the Black Sword can falter.
Krulldaga:Dives down to a ledge, spreading his wings in triumph and ROARS a welcome to his long sleeping Lord.
Waris Dani:((*adds back in the noble death thingie*))
Silkie:"Uh oh." Glances around and up, hoping that was supposed to happen. She snatches up her talisman and stuffs it in a pocket.
Malcolm:*it's a flicker of his attention....the merest instant of wakefulness....his eyes looking out from his palace....his energy healing...redeeming...joing all the entropic and dynamic in proper balance....reweaving it with static....there is a smile...and then the crushing weight of the severed Triat presses down upon him, and he fades...*
Silkie:Caps her supersoaker and pumps it up... just in case.
Malcolm:*when the light clears...Malcolm is breathing...Chaz has been remade, and lies atop the table, which is nolonger twisted corrupt metal, but a mound of living earth. And Waris lies still, dead....a smile on her lips as she's carried off by the Sun.*
Malcolm:((Hands it over to James for clean up, cause I ~have~ to catch a plane....))
Singha:(((*waves* Bye all...thanks for the wonderful RP. You are all great players and it's an honor and privelege RPing with you. ))
:(( is warris dead ? or half way there ? or not ? *curious*))
Silkie:((bye Singha! Have fun!))
Nikita:((See ya Singha. Have a nice trip.))
Waris Dani:((she's dead *waves to Singha* have fun))
:have fun singha !!
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:With the apparent battle over the Black Sword itself seems temporarily stunned with the result, though they quickly begin to regroup. Damaged units fade into the walls. There are many broken shells of the war machines lying about. The hovertank is smoking. Some dead soldiers lye about, but not as many as one would guess would die due to this.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The cavern, already crumbling begins to rumble loudly. More rocks from overhead falling, crushing one group of soldiers.
Silkie:"Malcolm? Albion? Uh, I think running would be good now." Glances at the ceiling then looks around. "Does anyone remember where we parked the car?"
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:The pair of hoverpack soldiers flaot down towards Malcolm while Cricket's Pack goes to rescue Chaz' remade body. Some soldiers move to cut them off but a large peice of the ceiling blocks their path. Another stone falls, crushing Eyes in the Dark where she was setting in her protective sphere.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:Rocky runs to grab Silkie while the rest of the Pack takes Chaz to the towncar, which amazingly has not yet been crushed. The last of the Amalgam makes their way off, save for the two soldiers with Malcolm. The original scouts.
Eyes:She drops down low to shield herself from falling rubble, still surrounded by the protective linga.
Silkie:"Rocky! What about Malcolm?!"
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:Stuffing Silkie into the town car, Rocky looks around desperatly as rubble continues to fall. Not seeing any sign of what may have happened to Malcolm, Rocky doesn't waste any lives, getting into the car as well.
Silkie:"EYES!" They're leaving behind all her friends!
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:Micah and Quiz appear, Micah having helped
with hauling Chaz. They get into the car as well. The engine revs as a
large boulder breaks from the ceiling, falling towards the car.
Silkie:She climbs over the seat to give the others room, and save them
the time of running around to get in front.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:Silkie will catch a glimpse of the two soldiers hovering overhead wich Malcolm in tow. The reflective surface of their helms is gone now, and if she looks closely, she will be able to see the faces of Teddy Harrison and Kluer Kegarice, Kleur with the gat, Teddy with the canon (though I'm not sure if she knows who they are, I thought it might be important to point out in case she does)
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:As the car starts it moves from the Realm just in time to be saved from the falling rock.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:A stone falls, crushing the silver box and the red fades instantly, as well as the last bits of broken machinery, armor, Kleur, Teddy and Malcolm.
Silkie:She doesn't know who they are, and has never encountered the technocracy before. But these guys fought on their side, so she's relieved. She'll know them if she meets them again.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:With a resounding shattering explosion the cavern collapses unto itself.
Amalgam 71, The Black Sword:~fin~
