Return of the Emblem Chapter Eleven: Unleash

[Phoenix]

War

Samael and Cassandra quickly made their way along the wall until they were near the gate. Quite a few archers had gathered there, but the two quickly shoved them aside until they were close enough to see their target. "There," Cassandra called out as she came to a hurried stop.

"Well then ... I'll cover you. Wait for an opening, and then take the emblem from her," Samael replied to her. "The lot of you can also provide a little suppressing fire if need be," he told the archers closest to them with a smile. He seemed happy to include them in his plan.

Cassandra nodded and lowered her stance to take advantage of some of the walkway's cover.

"I'm glad I get a front row seat to this, hmhm."

By the main building, tensions were high and climbing. "First to die," Hayato said as he took a step toward Faatina with his sword at his side. Colin put his arm out to stop the swordsman, however. "What, you seriously want to talk ... now?"

"This wasn't how it was supposed to turn out; I'll do whatever it takes to keep anyone else from getting killed because of that dragon," Colin shot back angrily. "Faatina, the negotiations got crashed by Raquel's dream dragon. He possessed one of our own men and forced him to kill himself. We didn't touch Raquel or Luka."

Hayato had no intention of holding back, at least not verbally. "That's right, you people did this! You drew first blood, not us! Now you're going to pay for it. You're going to pay for Owen's death!"

"Calm down. I don't want this to get any worse, but if you don't surrender, we'll have to fight you."

Sardis was silent at first but then chimed in as well. "I wanted you to join with us, but Raquel is clearly aligned with a self proclaimed enemy of ours and until this is resolved, we have no choice but to put an end to all of you as a threat and take the fire emblem piece by force. Surrender, or risk death. This is the last bit of mercy I can offer. After today, you'll know nothing but pain and sorrow."

"Just take her down already! You know they'd rather fight us then join us," Hayato argued.

"No, that's just what it'd take to ruin any chance of resolving this peacefully," Colin scolded, swinging his hand at Hayato to make sure he stayed back. "Faatina, tell them. Tell them to stop fighting ... please." Before Colin knew it, Hayato had slammed the hilt of his sword into his side so he could slip past him without any interference and rushed toward Faatina as flames began to engulf his blade. "Hayato! Stop!"

Half way to his target, Hayato ran into something and was forced onto the ground. The Hidden had matched his pace and shoulder tackled him. She became visible just as Hayato's short slide came to a stop, allowing him to get a good look at her as he picked himself up. She had a souless gaze and he couldn't read her at all. "Who the hell are you and where did you come from?! Are you with them?!"

Ignoring Hayato for the moment, she turned half way around to speak to Faatina instead. "Get back to your allies. The only thing that matters now is survival ..."

"Faatina ... tell them!" Colin made one last plea as he held his aching side.

"Hayato! Colin! Ready yourselves!" Sardis gave out the order to prepare to fight.

"... wrathdammit ..."

(Fissure: A highly advanced inbued weapon design. Fissure is not capable of launching counters, but while equipped, it targets hp directly. The target's raw resistance is deducted from the wielder's hp after each combat round.)
(Dark Burst: Dark Burst is a disruptive technique that shatters barriers. When the attack lands, it does normal damage, but an enemy's resistance is lowered by half of the attack's MT. This effect stacks but each individual debuff only lasts two turns starting with the following one.)
Traits: Can swap two entire stat categories or stack the total values of two separate stat categories onto a single one at the beginning of his turn, but this costs him his action. If total hp is changed, damage dealt is always counted against the new total. If two category values are combined into another, the effect wears off immediately after the first attack. [Fallen]-Cannot be crit'd or lethal'd by dark magic. Is stunned for one turn on crits or lethals by anima or light magic attacks.

(Ayano's Shield: Increases def/res by 6 and decreases mt by half. Ayano is immune to all status ailments and debuffs while it is equipped.)

(Ayano's Blade: A blade that utilizes wind magic to create a monomolecular edge during each swing. Functions as a Synthetic-Combat Knife(has neither a synthetic weapon's 25% mt bonus nor a combat knife's 25% mt penalty.)

Traits: [Hidden]-Ayano can render herself completely untargetable. This is a free action that can be done at any instant during her turn, including the middle of a combat round, but can only be activated(turned on) once during that turn. Once activated, impending damage from all sources excluding poison are negated. Defending attacks while hidden turns off the ability on her counter or at the end of the combat round.

PLAYER PHASE (#1)

Edited April 20, 2013 by Phoenix

[Eail]

Things were not good, the enemy was out in full force and Raquel was down. There seemed to be a new woman that was on their side for this, but even then it wouldn't be enough.

'We can't win here... we've gotta leave. I won't let them die, everyone else has someone, I'll stay if I have to so they can live! That one guy... he could end us with one spell if he wanted. What the hell is he?!?'

"We can't fight them all, stay away from the leader! Don't let him hit you or it's all over! Work on those archers if you can, the others help me hold them back!"

Targeting one of the lancemen, Zach poured energy into his attack, hoping that just maybe it would scare a few of the lesser foes of what the group could do.

*crack*

*BANG*

And the sage had his first kill of the day as his target fell to the ground in a smoking heap.

Not really knowing what to say in response to that, Faatina began to fall back to the rest of the group, where it seemed it was already too late for her to attempt to appease them.

'Why... why always violence? Why is there nothing but violence...?'

***

And so the gate went down to one last push by the mages. Arietta let out a disdainful groan at this event, having any sort of thunder stolen out from beneath her.

"How in the bloody hell 'm I supposed to show what I've got if ya keep shovin' jobs off on all the others?" The brawler grumbled, mostly to herself, as the enemies began to flood in. Rushing one of the front line defenders who appeared fairly sturdy, Arietta made her decision.

"Heh... y'll do fine." She taunted, before taking a low sweep with her maul, knocking the man clean from his feet, and his lance far from landing a blow on her. With the heavily armoured man now essentially turtle shelled on his back, Arietta brought her maul down with what could only be called excessive force, as any structural points the suit might have had collapsed under the pressure, buckling and shearing beneath the weight of Arietta's swing, causing the man inside to resemble a too-ripe tomato being but under the hammer. As she pulled back the maul, for several seconds the steel of the fallen's armour clung to the weapon, before falling to gravity, leaving his killer's mark behind, indented forever into the solid steel.

"That's... more like it." Arietta noted with a smirk, slinging her now-sufficiently bloodied maul over her shoulder.

Rook nocked another arrow. "Come on, then, you slags! Let's see what you're fucking made of!" His shot takes a priestess through the belly, dealing 13 damage. Rook's arrows do not respect the clergy.

'Well... this is the path we chose, isn't it? That dragon, it said... that Raquel chose force, in that dream. Could that be why...?'

In the end, it didn't really matter, did it? What was done was done, and the fight was already underway. Muttering under her breath, Faatina began to make her way back to the warzone.

"Sorry... Colin... this is all I can do..." The Rexian chided herself... she really was powerless, wasn't she? This plea was all she could do.

"Please, everyone... try not to kill them. I think... I think that after everything, don't we owe that much? It would seem, we have taken a lot of lives from these people... is that not something we should try to limit... if we can?" She pleaded, knowing that in all likelyhood, no one would heed her.

Seeing a cleric take a heavy blow from an arrow, Faatina rushed towards the man, hoping to incapacitate him.before someone else finished the job.

'At the least, I can do what I can not to kill them...'

Giving the man a passing bonk to the head with her shield, she saw him fall harmlessly to the ground, out like a light. Close nearby was an archer, who had already drawn his bow, lethal intent obvious. At this range, there was no way to dodge the blow, so bracing herself, Faatina braced, mostly nullifying the shot with her armour, taking only a slight nick for her efforts, her riposte thwacking the man across the stomach, hoping to wind him.

A Man Called Gar

The sham that was peace finally broke as some semblance of order came over everyone and battle was met. Gar was much more valuable than the wall archers, so sitting here playing check with them was a disadvantage his allies couldn't afford.

Gar slipped around like he was capable of and came up behind a holy man. Which soon became a HOLY THAT MAN IS DEAD.

One.

Gar cleaned his knife and melded back into a counter position against the overwatch.

Gar attacks Bishop A, Gar autohits Gar vantages, Gar doubles, Gar does 9 damage a hit. Bishop A has 18 HP.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4021351/

Bishop A is dead.

Aneda/Chelsea/Gar gain +5 points.

[Snike]

What problems a hammer couldn't solve, magic evidently could. After Arietta's failed attempts at bashing the gate down, Shadrak and a bunch of mages Axel didn't recognize went and finished the job, a female earth mage in particular being responsible for the final push. Though, the grenades didn't hurt. Anyways, the enemy was evidently approaching from behind, so the lancer followed his partner's lead and ran back into the courtyard. Now, who to spear...

***

The gate finally fell shortly after Blake arrived, which was nice. What was less nice was the fact that there were still probably archers on the wall above him. Given the fact that the Dauntless was barreling towards them, the man didn't particularly feel like taking the risk just yet, especially with more violence erupting from inside the courtyard. He did, however, adjusted how he carried Raquel enough so that he could draw his sword, however helpful that would be in the long run.

***

Once the hinge was frozen and popped with a bolt, there was some blasting, some smashing, and some bashing, and then a flat gate. Wonderful. What was less wonderful, of course, was the fact that a tremendous aura was among the enemies, which were in the process of pursuing them. Grant immediately began to prepare an ice spell or two. More bolts were also brandished, incidentally enough.

[scorri]

Marella groaned slightly as Zach and Rook both immediately started attacking the enemies. Gripping her sword tightly, she ran over to where the two of them where and placed herself in front of them. "What have I told you two about attacking without me? Let me defend you. It will end up better for all of us."

Marella activates Bulwark and defends Zach and Rook.

[Mercakete]

The Dauntless took off and as she drove, Gytha couldn't help but loose a loud, booming laugh that could have served as a battle cry. The explosives and some help from the inside toppled the fortress door open. Sinbad could enter the apparent fray if he so wished now and now there was enough space for the Dauntless to enter the courtyard. It did, too, at rather high speeds. For a moment, Gytha couldn't quite remember how to stop a speeding wagon. The last time she'd tried steering, the horses stopped when they were about to go off of a pier, but there were no piers around so far as she could tell. There was also pulling back on the reins... That seemed to be the more standard method. So, Gytha yanked the reins back, causing the horses and wagon to slide to an urgent halt.

That done, Gytha stood up and looked around for Veronika. Once she spied her, the mariner grinned widely and waved, calling, "Land ship secure! Need ana help o'er here?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Those weren't the main assault?! Well... Merz. I think we'll just fight from the ground. Norbert thought as Sardis' main forces came out to join the fray. The door was down now, though. Everyone should just get out of here while those of us with mounts hold them off.

Of course, that opinion changed as soon as the Dauntless blasted into the courtyard. Norbert was as distressed at that as he was startled. "Sweet Mother Mercy what in Wrath's name do you think you're doing?!" he half exclaimed half fumed at Gytha. Though now those on foot could just head inside the Dauntless while they beat a hasty retreat, they could also be completely blocked off by the enemy. It was a lot harder to get that weagon out of there than people running around on foot.

[-Cynthia-]

Veronika

The door was down and...the Dauntless was here? Veronika supposed that made it easier to 'fight at the Dauntless' and the organization members at the fort didn't seem to be giving them much choice.

"Yes, please fight with us!" she said to Gytha, surveying the situation. Not good...but not impossible. she resolved to herself.

Nadya

As soon as the door was open, Nadya considered having Luca sprint across the plains and leaving this mess, but the Dauntless appeared to be in the way. Way to cut off our escape. she grumbled to herself. She realized she could get around it, but supposed she could stick around for at least some of the battle. I don't get paid enough for this...

[Snike]

The Dauntless finally arrived... and barreled right past the gate, stopping a ways away, further into the courtyard. Right, well, unless that had ran over any enemies, that just cut the odds of an escape drastically. At least they could probably access some explosives, worst case scenario. Blake turned around and began to make his way to the Dauntless. If he could just get Raquel to safety, then he could help the others.

[Snowy_One]

Tia coughed as the explosives blew the door down! Now their job of protecting the Dauntless could actually begin! After all, if there is no threat, you can't really 'guard' something, right? Regardless, Tia was on the job!

"Yes! We need help!" shouted out Robin as she lined up a shot on some poor sops neck, only to end up missing rather horribly and nailing her target in the leg. "Get down here and do something Gytha!"

From the Dauntless door, Tia pulled out a small flask from her dress and uncorked the top before drawing the liquid inside out and dispersing it into a fine mist. "Time to get messy!" she exclaimed before shooting the mist out, focusing on it as best she could to bolster her teammates

Then she opened her tome up and sent a quick blast of water towards one of the mercs, aiming to sweep him off his feet with the sheer force of her current and, before he could get up, bash him hard against a wall with the rest of the force. It worked perfectly! She didn't know if he was dead or not, but he was certainly out of the fight!

There was an archer that appeared to be in pain, right near Arietta's crumpled knight. Axel decided to temporarily relieve him of that pain, with a spearhead to the side of the head. If he wasn't dead outright, the poor fellow would have a killer headache when he woke up. Sucks to be him.

Grant quickly made his way over to Synthia, who was carrying Luka for the time being.

"I'll cover you," he said, as he moved in between the mage and the organization members. "Go move him out of danger."

Grant defends Synthia (and Sinbad)!

"Well well, what have we here?" Came the playful voice, as the nine-tailed Avian appeared from her warp, in-between the pair of Cassandra and Samael, and Raquel. The things she immediately noticed were that this girl had another piece of the emblem, and that she bore a striking resemblance to Raquel.

"Raquel 2.0, with a second emblem piece to boot? How delightfully convenient... that girl and everything about her just gets more interesting by the day." The woman continued, as she began to float somewhat wistfully atop a dark sphere. Crossing her legs as she looked this new Raquel over, Kit couldn't help but let out a chuckle, before her eyes hovered over the menacing looking man beside her, who appeared to hold some sort of blade she couldn't see, and radiated Mercy's magic.

"And you don't seem to be a slouch yourself, either? Every day finding that girl gets better and better~"

***

"Nice work, Axel. Let's give 'em more grief." Arietta announced with a boisterous guffaw.

"Aaah, not again~"- Chelsea said as she took up position behind Aneda and Gar, rubbing her eyes in the meanwhile. Apparently with everything that was going on, Chelsea was dozing off to sleep and only vaguely understood what happened. The bad guy apparently wanted tea with Raquel but not with everyone else and Raquel and the others were being extremely un-cooperative, even though the merchant's father was there but she was too busy getting rid of the sleep in her eyes to complain about that.

After much bickering and Gytha nearly screwing things over, that caused the troubadour to wake up and stay alert, they made their way into the fortress to wait for Raquel to finish negotiations with the head honcho and meanwhile Chelsea was not happy. These louts had not even prepared any sweets for everyone to gorge themselves upon while Raquel probably got to have all of the tea.

As such, she was in a very sour mood during the entire time they were in there.

And then things went to hell and back, with Raquel and her escort group teleporting near the rest of the group to tell them that negotiations had backfired. Chelsea made a mental note to ask Raquel what she did to screw the pooch on this one, and just loitered about while the mages and some of the heavy hitters of the group began bashing on the gate. Then after the gate was destroyed, the passage to the Dauntless was opened and Raquel's mercenaries skedaddled all the way to the Dauntless.

And now they were in a fight to survive, and Chelsea vaguely saw... no she actually saw Colin. To be more specific, Colin had another sword, vaguely familiar as the last one she had a date with, and Colin was armed with it. Chelsea yelped in surprise and made tried her best to watch Colin like a hawk.

"Please don't stab me again, please don't stab me again."- she prayed to the goddess Mercy for... well mercy from Colin.

[Balcerzak]

Sinbad had rode up to the Dauntless after the grenades had done their trick, presuming to rendevous and wait for the others to come pouring out. Much to his surprise, the wagon just lumbered right on past him, into the breech. "Awww, hell..." he muttered and swung back around. 「Looks like things just got more 'n more interesting, didn't they girl,」 he spoke and patted his mare on the flank. She nickered a soft reply, and following his directions started picking her way through the scattered debris from the grenades and stepping over the fallen door.

The situation inside was quite chaotic, and simply telling friend from foe was a bit of a feat. While he thought he recognized some of the people near where the gate had been, it seemed enemy troops had also rushed in to engage, so the cowboy's first order of business was finding a friendly face and figuring out just what was what. Still, it couldn't hurt to be able to defend himself if needed, so he rested his dominant hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw at a moment's notice.

Hold the Line

Violence, violence had broken out almost everywhere now and to make things even more exciting, the Dauntless came speeding into the fortress before making a long stop. Reign had very mixed feeling about this. On the one hand, the wagon was decent cover from the archers in and of itself, at least from one side, and the dirt ground filling the courtyard would get kicked up easily by the deflectors, ruining any shots the archers might have had on anyone nearby. On the other hand, if those archers managed to shoot either Sandrock or Riley, there would be no escape possible for the Dauntless. "Gytha! Turn the Dauntless around! Get the horses facing the exit, THE EXIT!" Now he could only hope that Blake could get Raquel inside in time. Having so many enemies to deal with, Reign thought it best to bide his time a little longer and build up power for a large attack spell. No telling on when it was needed, but if another group came at them, he could probably unleash it on them.

Shadrak meanwhile decided to attack with the others and went after a slightly weakened shaman among the enemy. During his attack though, what Faatina brought up came to mind. He wasn't sure why she would suggest not killing them, but no one else appeared to be listening, so he wasn't sure how to handle this next spell. Should he listen to her, or just try to utterly destroy his opponent? "Grrrr ... sorry, but I can't risk him getting back up and attacking us again." That wasn't Shadrak not making a concession and deciding to outright kill the shaman, but perhaps the man would wish he had died after this. Shadrak launched a death sphere spell that collided with the shaman's shoulder and sent him to the ground writhing in agony until his arm had been loosened. If the Shaman dared get up, his arm would fall off. He was alive, but definitely out of this and perhaps many future fights. Shadrak sighed heavily at it all.

Meanwhile, Cassandra prepared to ambush Raquel and Blake on their way to the Dauntless, but something incredibly strange happened. Kit's arrival didn't bother Samael one bit, though. With a smile he said, "Greetings." Cassandra was weirded out to say the least, but she had to focus on her target, the fire emblem. Hitting it from where she was would be anything but easy. The archers meanwhile backed away while Samael continued. "If you think that's interesting, watch this ... Cassandra ... now!"

"HYAAAAAGH!!!" Cassandra swung her snake sword out like a fishing line and the blades separated while knew ones spawned from the hilt. Before the shear head had even left her vicinity the sword had stretched to over a twenty feet in length. Once the shear shot out to intercept Blake, the sword stretched to over fifty feet in length, and it kept growing as it sped toward them. The shear slammed into the ground a short ways between Blake and the Dauntless before violently freeing itself and turning to face them like a floating serpent. Cassandra stayed put and kept her eyes closed to guide and control the entire process, and Samael grinned approvingly.

PLAYER PHASE (#2)

"Not in it for grief," Axel said, just before getting walloped by a fireball. He wasn't sure what hurt worse, the fire, or the landing. The lancer struggled to get to his feet. This was going to be a loooong day.

Blake was almost to the Dauntless when a golden... thing slammed into the ground just ahead of him, violently ripping itself out of the ground before turning its' head to face the swordsman. Upon further inspection, it looked like an extremely long chain, but then, it was moving like a snake... Magic, evidently. Regardless, it was in the way. The Ursian took a swing at the creature as he tried to rush towards the wagon proper. Hopefully it would dodge and as a result give him a window to get Raquel into the wagon.

Gytha was about to comply with Veronika's newest set of orders which Robin had expressed her agreement to when a pegasus swooped overhead. Gytha fell back into the driver's seat and could only watch as Reign, who had just emphatically asked her to turn the Dauntless around, was lanced. The enemy was hitting them back rather hard. A few of their own seemed unable to continue fighting after that rush. So, Gytha decided to follow Rein's suggestion as quickly as possible before following Veronika's orders to join the fight. So, she flicked the reins as she had before, though it was less gusto this time. Then she pulled on the reins to turn the horses to face the exit. This was taking a bit of time, but she fully intended on stopping the horses as soon as they were facing the fallen gate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Their side was being struck quite hard this time. It was a grim but not unfamiliar scene for the pegasus rider. He'd faced odds comparative to this before: outnumbered and quite likely less than a match for even one of the many opponents. This time it struck him differently, though, as he saw his allies begin to fall. It's not just me. As well as they fought to fend off their attackers, some of them still sustained considerable injury. All of them are in the sort of danger I used to go through. People I don't want to die.

One particularly powerful-looking enemy struck Robin with a unique-looking sword. Robin didn't seem like she'd be getting up from that any time soon and that enemy was still relatively close by. She's in danger! Without another thought, Norbert and Rizen charged at Robin and her attacker. Then, having Rizen kick up as much dust as possible, Norbert scooped up Robin as quickly as he was able before riding away behind friendly lines to try to get the huntress to a relatively safe location. Should I just ferry the injured? I don't plan on it, but that was close...and this looks like our toughest fight yet. I'd rather be bashing heads in, but...it's more than just my neck that's in real danger right now. Hopefully we won't have many more people getting this hurt this fast...

[scorri]

Marella grimaced, but before either Rook or Zach could react, she called out "I'm fine. Keep on fighting and don't worry about me." Wincing, she settled into her defensive stance once more with her sword ready. She glanced at her side and quickly looked back up. Well... I hope I'm fine...

Veronika watched the battlefield carefully- some of their allies were already hurt quite badly. I need to make a decisive strike... she thought to herself, carving up a mage who was guarding several others.

(2,1,1)= 5-2= 3x2= 6 damage

(6,6,5)= 10-2= 8 damage

(3,6,1)= 10-2= 8 damage

(3,2,3)= 7-2= 5 damage

(2,4,3)= 8-2= 6 damage

Adept A 0/21 +5 Veronika, Reign, Faatina

Nadya decided to enter the fight briefly and heal Marella, who seemed to have taken an axe. Every axe she takes is one I don't. she thought to herself, before scampering back to the outskirts of the fight.

Marella +14 24/24 +2 Gytha, Robin. Nadya

Mm. Looks like it had come to battle after all. It was time for some target practice! She quickly scanned the battlefield and came upon a figher, armed with a slightly intimidating axe. Water was already barreling towards the man, so she notched an arrow onto her bow and fired. "Have at thee! Operation PEW!"

Her arrow zipped across the sky and lodged itself in the fighter's arm. Mao frowned at what she considered a less-than-optimal shot. With the distance closed, the fighter swung his axe, but Mao and her wonderful horse Water were better than that. He missed by a long shot.

"Again!"

Mao fired again, and this time she made a square shot into his chest. The man staggered back. 'Twas a good shot, but he wasn't dead.

Well, things had quickly gone to hell. A large magical presence had entered the courtyard, Valter assumed that to be Sardis, and that suspicion was confirmed when he was seen along with Colin and the other swordmasters. The horseman had spent the next several moments hightailing it back towards his combat team before his negligence got someone killed, most likely himself. Not the best possible event, really.

Faatina’s request to not kill was amusing at best, considering their enemies weren’t going to give them the same luxury. If he could take someone out of the fight with a non-lethal method though, he supposed there wasn’t any reason not to. Grunts were just following orders, after all. The wagon rolling in was a surprise, and Valter’s reaction pretty much mirrored Bert’s, if nonverbally. Bringing the thing inside was not really conducive to keeping its occupants safe or getting it back out again. Great.

Several of the group went down or were injured in quick succession, and while Bert started ferrying the fallen Valter took aim at one of the more powerful spellcasters on the field. They really needed to get out of here…

Valter attacks Druid A!

Roll: 3, 1, 2

Druid A HP: 4/21

How's that feel now, huh? Take that dark magic jerk ((ok maybe I won't edit out these things))

Once shit had started going down, Katrina had descended, landing Volga hard between a fighter and one of the magicians. “Hey, over here, meathead!” Distractions distractions.

Zach was worried when Marella took a hit that seemed to have been aimed at him. But before he could do anything about it there was another lanceman that needed taking down. Dropping the soldier with one solid strike of his magic.

There was fighting, Luka could tell even through his pain. Bracing himself with his staff the healer boy stood, still clutching his head in pain as he tried to use more of his power to heal his fellow Weyland employee Arietta.

'It hurts....'
