Tulpamancing Roleplay: An exercise in visualization.

[Wrath]

The young guard looked around with a sense of dread filling him. "Oh for fucks sake not again" he turned and began shaking the drunken man lying collapsed on the table. "Wake up ye lazy git, the generators out again!"

Leo walked over to the men, pocketing his book he said "alright keep calm, what we need to do is-"

"Keep calm!, Keep bloody calm! the lights are out you daft git, how're we meant to be calm!" Leo waited for Adam to finish his little rant, then cleared his throat.

"As you've no doubt been told multiple times, panicking will solve nothing."

"A ain't panicking, am just getting ready for the inevitable! And don't ye think I already know that you-"

Leo sighed "OK, OK, so what I suggest we do now is go get the local alchemist to sober up Aegis, so he can fix the generator"

"reet then, guess we better get a move on" The young guard began to make for the door.

"Actually I think I'll just stay here and make sure nothing happens to aegis, besides I'd just slow you down".

 

"whatever" and with that the young guard disappeared into the night.

[cruse]

I was saying that the guard on the south wall have southern accent, not Adam!

But whatever, Adam shall have southern accent then. It seems better.

Vixen and Chloe made their way towards the tavern where Vixen believes Aigis is sleeping currently. Vixen met Adam on the way. Adam saluted and told Vixen about Aigis.

 

"So he's still there..."

 

"We better ge' movin'!"

 

Vixen and adam kept their course and finally reached the the tavern. They found a mage in blue robe sitting besides Aigis. Vixen didn't gave much attention due to the situation at hand and quickly pulled out a syringe filled with [Anti-toxin]. She attempts to injects Aigis with it, however, Aigis grabbed Vixen's arm.

Vixen was thrown across the table, she didn't felt Aigis pulling her hand. It's as if her body simply flow over Aigis's body. Vixen made a loud *thump* on the wooden floor as she made contact with the ground.

Vixen wasn't sure if she broke any ribs, but it sure hurt as hell. She still held the syringe in her hand. Aigis stood up, and said;

 

"You bitch think you could stab me?"

 

"Ye drunk bastard!"

 

Adam ran straight at Aigis.

However, Aigis grabbed Adam's arm and neck, turns around, lowered himself and flings Adam over his hip using one of his legs to sweep the rookie guard up. The guard fell around a meter in front of Aigis. Adam wheezed on the ground as the impact blew the wind out of him.

Chloe, seeing how her beloved Aunt was thrown to the ground, engaged Aigis with a punch.

Aigis grabbed Chloe's arm. He raised his brow as he noticed that her arm is covered by a strange black entities. He didn't care though, he performed another similar throw on Chloe. Chloe landed on the ground, but the shadow absorbed impact. Chloe instantly got up and empower her Shadow twice.

Chloe blocked Aigis's first punch, then another. However, the man's kick was very well placed that it pierced the shadow. Thankfully, the shadow helped Chloe endures the attack. Suddenly, the man spun and his heels was swinging towards Chloe. She ducked in time and gave him an attack of her own. She punched, and her punch was yet again about to be reversed into another Judo throw. She was not going to fall for the same trick. Her shadow swept the mans leg as he was about to perform the Harai Goshi causing him to fall over. However, Aigis, despite being drunk, performed a flip and regained his balance.

 

Vixen walked up behind Aigis and tried to injects him with the [Anti-toxin]. However, the creak made from the wooden floor gave her away.

Aigis, heard the creak of the floor, spun around and saw the women trying to stab him with strange device. He parried it and punch her guts. The punch connects but somehow the women wasn't hurt, so he spun around and back hand her. The attack was so well-aimed that it made Vixen head swung to the side as his hand hits the right at the side of her chin. Vixen was dazed for a moment, but regained her sense quick enough to parry the kick that would have more or less knock her out. She swiped the kick sideway as she felt the force of the kick creating a shockwave behind her. She didn't wait and immediately attempt to stick the needles at Aigis's neck, she almost did it, but Aigis have swiped her hand away. Aigis took a step back, spread his hand and said;

 

"Come at me bitches!"

Well, that was intense

[Wrath]

That was closer to Scottish or geordie, it was in no way southern. No offense.

[G+3]

I got a peculiarly Northern Irish feel from it... and Wrath, are we ready to start the BATTLE?!

[Wrath]

Also that escalated quickly.

Correct G+2, also yes we are ready to commence battle.

[G+3]

>G+2

We're like twenty pages into the thread bro... how?

 

Anyway, I thought you were going to describe the first scene with all the wargs and shit, and introduce the werepires; did I get that right? If you don't want to I'm totally cool with doing so, test my dramatic writing skills.

[Wrath]

Sorry I'm not really in the mood to night. However you basically know whats going to happen via that last post detailing the dark entities game plan. I apologize for not getting a good nights sleep btw.

[cruse]

That was closer to Scottish or geordie, it was in no way southern. No offense.

 

Sorry, I'm bad at accent.

[G+3]

Right, I'm writing up the post now. I'm' going to make a paste bin later today and start compiling all these fucking stats we have going one; note pads suck balls for displaying information in every way, shape and form.

They waited... when the man's eyes adjusted well enough he was able to catch glimpses of shadows scuttering in the forest; Joal seemed visibly shaken; the man almost blessed his eyes.

 

After about half an hour there was a call, a screech, an ear piercing scream, from the forest. With it the wargs emerged from the forest in great gallops, staying in groups of twos and three. The pack split into three to attack the three exposed parts of the castle, and something followed them, [Aww fuck...]

 

The snipers from the towers called from their windows to prepare the other troops, something they didn't really want to hear, ''Warepires! Warepires!''

 

 

[align=center]Pre-battle numbers:

North: 24 Riflemen, 6 Knight, R Com, K Com ~ 11 wrags, 6 werepires

East: 18 Riflemen, 4 Knight, R Com, K Com ~ 12 wargs, 5 werepires

West: 18 Riflemen, 4 Knight, R Com, K Com ~ 7 wargs, 2 werepires

 

((Doing group rolls for most of it, I'll do more accurate rolls for the east wall,;god damnit that's a lot of stats to handle.[/align]

 

 

The Riflemen Commander screamed to the men and women, ''Right, barrel the wherepires. Odd numbers barrel the wargs at the half point!'' The wall responded like a true military core, ''Yes sir!''

 

 

[align=center]5 aim for 1 warepire, 3 and commander for the last. Rifle men aim, -6 to accuracy; roll 7.

Riflemen fire; 7(-2, number advantage): 4 (2)

Werepiers dodge; 5: 4

Werepires endure (target 12); 11: 2, endured very well (lessen silver weapon trait). +3 end.

 

New stats: Werepires endurance: 14

3 turns 'til wargs reach wall, 2 until warepires reach wall.[/align]

 

 

Nineteen rifles were cocked, aimed, and fired. The shots were well placed and badly dodged. The werepires were affected but continued strong. The men took aim once more, hoping to knock one of the things out of the air.

 

[align=center]Riflemen fire; 7 (2): 4

Werepires dodge; 5: 1. Critical success, some of them do barrel rolls.

 

2 turns for wargs (now at half way point,) 1 turn for warepires.[/align]

 

Another rally of explosions, but the warepires were too fast. They were aproaching fast. ''Right! Odd number barrels at the dogs!'' G took out the weapon Vixen had given him and aimed at the warepires.

 

[align=center]9 Aiming for the wargs (no numbers advantage), 11 aiming for the warepires (numbers advantage, -1 to accuracy)

 

Fire at werepires; 7(-1): 3

Warepires dodge; 5: 1. Loop-de-loops!

Fire at wargs; 7: 1. Yeah mother fuckers!

Wargs dodge; 7: 6.

Wargs endure (target 3); 10: 1. That couldn't have worked out any better.

 

New stats/numbers:

Wargs; 3 (9 riflemen critical sucess, 12-9. No other wargs hit, no stat loss.)

Werepires; zilch.

Wargs 1 turn from walls, Werepires aiming for the throat.[/align]

 

The DSC knight bashed their shields with their swords and roared at the beasts; their armour led the werepires right to them. Three of the werepires let out a deafening screech, slightly disabling the majority of the soldiers on the wall. (+4 accuracy, +1 agility de-buff, two turns.) But the men continued their objective. The other two werepires swooped down at the knights. ((Note: Splitting it into 1v1 for commander and 4v4 for regular rifle men,))

 

[align=center]Fire at wargs: 7 (+4 for de-buff, -2 for numbers); 9

Wargs dodge: 7; not a prob.

Fire at werepires: 7 (+4 de-buff, no numbers.); 7

Werepires dodge; 5: nope.

Werepires swoop at solders; 11: 5

Knights block; 11: 4. Auto counter.

Counter; 11: 11

 

Wargs climbing up wall, (roll agility: 3) 1 more turn till they can attack. 1 turn of de-buff left.[/align]

 

The remaining wargs dodged all the incoming projectiles, reached the wall and began clinging at the wall, clinging at any brick or craves their claws could find. The two werepires swooped at two of the nights, but the knights held strong, fending off the beast with their shields—though unable to bash and ground one of them for easier attacking.

Sorry I can't do more, I'm always fucking rushing somewhere; I didn't roll for the other walls, not enough time. I just damn hope that the lights get turned back on for the north wall.
