Leo was following the group silently, his ears still ringing from the werepires screech. Vixens use of fire was perplexing him, how could she use that without magic? It was bugging him, his curiosity got the better of him as he caught up to vixen "Excuse me miss, how is it you were using fire without magic before? I'm just curious and I've never see anything like it".

just so you know, Aigis's group is heading towards the center of the town while Vixen is going to the west.

 

I'm wondering what's happening to G and Pruria though...


|Vixen|

Vixen rushes towards the west wall, her leg already aches when she ran to deal with the arson earlier today. She couldn't believe she had to run to the same place twice. Vixen noticed the mage in the tavern rushing to caught up with her, and the question he shot at her doesn't make her any more comfortable.

 

"Excuse me miss, how is it you were using fire without magic before? I'm just curious and I've never see anything like it."

 

"It's because... uh..."

 

Vixen was never keen with mages or wizard. Reading the flow of magic in the air is like breathing to them. Knowing full-well that lying would only further the curiosity and would be meaningless, she opted to delay her answer instead.

 

"I'll tell you after this. Let's just say I've been... cursed. In a way."


|Aigis|Chloe|

Meanwhile, Aigis is and the others are running towards the generator. Aigis hoped that the damage is not too serious this time. The night is still young, there's plenty of time left for 4 or 5 more wave of monsters to assist the already problematic horde. The faster this get fixed, the sooner he gets to go back and drink again.

 

Thinking back to the tavern, the engineer remembered his HUD managed to register something during the Werepire attack. The HUD identified that an arrow flew into the Werepire's neck and it traced the arrow's trajectory back to it's source, one of the rooftop. The hud detected a residue heat signature from that position, but the video recorded reveals nothing but darkness.

 

"Chloe, Adam, you saw anything back there?"

 

"Back where?" asked Adam

 

"At the tavern, the Werepire acted strangely don't you think?"

 

"Didn't auntie dodged it?"

 

"No, the thing jerked to the side violently. Something must have collide with it."

 

"Ain' ya goggles comes with night vision?"

 

"It didn't see anything."

 

Aigis tilted his head, and said "never mind". Maybe there's no arrow and Vixen just thought of a new trick up her sleeves. That women always have a secret trick at the ready.


I suppose it'll take another turn for the walls before Vixen and Leo could start helping.

Aigis - The male cyborg that looks like raiden in MGR.

Vixen - Half dragon female who looks like Mary in DMC3 when in human form.

Cruse do you not think your characters are getting a little bit OP? Anyway I think if we include anymore waves it will kill the RP, they had one rush and that's that. (seriously we can't do another 5 waves)

/bitchfit

F- five... five waves... five waves?... Who do you think I am? R.O.B? [He's being retarded, I'd say nine hundred waves! Or more; popcorn, anyone?]

And please, call me G.

It just occurred to me that I might sound angry or bitchy, I assure you I don't mean to be.

No, not at all. Bitchy would be more like, ''OMFG CURSE YOU'RE BEING TOTALLY UNFAIR IHATE THIS I'M HATE YOU GUYS I'M LEAVING YOU RUINED MY THREAD OMFG.''

 

I, for one, was a little bitchy in that last post of mine; italics can put emphasis on anything, even bad things.

 

Oh, and I'm slowly making my way through this. Now that the monsters are on the walls the numbers are getting even more confusing. I might have to shorten it to two turn for the north and west wall. Sorry, once again, if that puts across the impression I'm being lazy or anything; also if it's slowing the game down. I don't really have an excuse other than the volume, which—looking at some of Curse's posts—isn't much of an excuse at all.

 

D:


((Okay, finally got that done, only took about an hour! I didn't brake my promise, but I'll do a bit long post in the morning for the east wall.))

 

[align=center]North wall:

6 knights remaining (including the commander), one heavily injured but escaped (due to pure bad-assery on behalf of the other knights.) 12 endurance, 12 strength, 21 agility, 19 accuracy.

2 Werepires, one still on the ground. 20 endurance, 13 strength, 9 agility, 12 accuracy

7 Wargs. 22 endurance, 12 agility, 11 strength, 15 accuracy.

 

West wall:

2 knights, 3 dead. 13 endurance, 22 agility, 12 strength, 21 accuracy.

2 Wargs. 18 endurance, 15 accuracy, 10 strength, 10 agility.[/align]

 

((The wargs for the west wall got stupidly lucky rolls, two roll 1's and a critical failure one of those times for the knights; hence three of them being dead and all.))

Yeah well, I might find someway to balance my character a bit.

Or on the flip side, you guys can make your character OP too XD

That means the monster would also be op...

 

Also, what Aigis Meant was that 5 more wave will come if he never got the generator fixed at all.

Once the things up, all monster would flee from the light.

Jesus Christ, they're all dead.... Also thank you cruse, but I think I'll have my character be hopelessly outmatched (and therefore likely to become horribly injured).

Aigis shall get it fixed ASAP in my next post...

Wrath, the east wall is bugged to get consistently shitty rolls for friendly NCPs and characters. Could have have a look into that? I think it may be a miss placed decimal point in the number part of the code or something...

 


 

((I'm writing 'de-buff active' at the start of every action block to avoid stupid amounts of brackets. I think I got everything, I'll be damned if I didn't. I have turn two all rolled out but this just took so long; I'll post it tomorrow at some stage.))

 

It seemed bleak, the wargs found their way over the walls and the werepires were going for another attack. The knights bashed their shields again to show their strength. The werepires responded by swooping down once more.

 

[align=center]Werepires attack; d11: 9

Knights block; d7: 2

Daze; d7: 4

All werepires on ground and dazed until next turn.[/align]

 

The knight commander called to his men, ''Circle formation, ready your shields!'' The knights huddled with their commander, each facing one of the diving werepires. When the beasts made contact the men used each others back to hold strong, bash the giant bats and drag them to the ground.

 

The knights fanned out again, just as the wargs jumped over the riflemen to attack the platoon. Two wargs went to each knight, the last two acted completely atypical; a voice called to the two wargs, echoing as if whispering from across a giant hall. To one it cooed, ''Go... into the town... seek the man of... Aigisss...'' And to the other it croned ''The man... in white... kill him! Kill him... and the white pony will flee...''

 

The first warg huffed and peered off the wall, he seen one roof which was not a too far a jumps away—for the warg, at least—and which came almost level with the wall; his mark. The rifleman commander took notice to the dog and aimed up his shot,

''Oh no you don't!''

 

[align=center]Warg escape into town, agility; d7: 2

RMcommander, +4 accuracy; d13: 3[/align]

 

The ringing in his ears blurred his vision and—even with his mastery—caused him to miss by just a hair. The commander picked up his walkie talkie, and flicked it on, only to remember that it was useless. He changed to the talkie's local frequency—the east wall's Knight commander—and proceeded to hurl the talkie into the town—after he heard the familiar click of a receiver, not ten metres from him.

 

The second warg sniffed and looked over to the man in white, who was too occupied firing and missing at the werepires, and started his run towards him. Sure enough, the pegasus took notice, and moved between G and his attacker, [We've got doggies!] Her instinct told her to protect the other, as opposed to herself,

 

Melody, roll intelligence (target, 6); d10: 7

 

Her hymn flickered and died, and the warg was approaching rapidly. She gruffed and instead held out her weapon infront of her and spread her posture,

 

[align=center]De-buff active.

Warg attack, roll accuracy; d14: 7

Pruria block, strength; d10: 3

Counter attack, accuracy; d16: 4

Warg block; 8d: 2, sucess

G aim and fire; d20: 12

Warg dodge: no need.[/align]

 

The beast smashed into the wooden shield, but the pony—in her element of strength—easily parried him. With the beast recoiled, she took the chance to attack while it couldn't attempt a dodge. The beast crossed his arm infront of his face and easily took the brunt of Joal's attack. G pinpointed the reason for Pruria's shielding of him and took aim at the foe, but failed to make target.

 

Meanwhile, the rest of the wargs relentlessly made attack on the knights,

 

[align=center]De-buff active

Warg attack knights, numbers bonus -1; d14: 6 (7)

Knights cannot block two attack simultaneously, knights dodge; d18: 4

Knights counter attack; d23: 1

Wargs dodge; d7: 1

Struggle. Re-roll,

Knights: 12

Wargs: 5[/align]

 

Miraculously, though, the knights managed to evade the onslaught of claws and teeth. Still quick to think after lucky dips with death, the knights counter attack the dogs with startling precision. Their swords came close to slicing the heads of a few of the beasts—clean off—but the steel was matched with equally startling speed. The swords were re-drawn and brought down, but to no avail.

 

The knight commander, though trusting of his men, seen the warepire as a more important target; also took note that the beast was dazed.

 

[align=center]De-buff active

Kcomander attack; d24: 17

Werepire dodge: Dazed

Endure; d11: 3, small skill loss to Kcommander's werepire[/align]

 

The commander slashed at the werepire but, despite his daze, resisted the pain very well. The riflemen kept their appointed targets and aimed half their numbers at their respective enemy,

 

[align=center]De-buff active

Riflemen fire at werepires, numbers buff (-1); d17: 11 (12)

Dodge: dazed

Endure; d10: 7, skill loss to all werepires

Riflemen fire at wargs, no numbers; d17: 5

Dodge; d7: 3[/align]

 

The evens fired at the dazed bat-things, land hits on all of them. The odd numbered men's luck with the wargs didn't stretch as far though. Even though the beasts were occupied with the knight, they dived out of the ways of the bullets just in time.

 

An infinite sense of dread fell over the men on the east wall; they just prayed that, in their valour, they could at least thin the beast's numbers; and that the other walls were having better luck.

 

[align=center]Final stats:

 

G: no change

Pruria: No change

G/PJ warg: no change

Riflemen: nochange

Knights: no change

Kcommander: no change

Wargs: no change

Knight's werepires: 13 end, 6 agi

Kcommmander's werepire: 14 end, 10 str, 6 agi

De-buff finished.[/align]

 


 

I got a little lazy at the end, but there isn't much I can write other than shit like 'they cocked and loaded their barrels/ they're scared'' blah blah. By the way, what do mean by 'they're all dead'? Wrath.
