MRDRHAWK Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 “Woah, fuck, okay!” Nyx yelped out, watching Alriana suddenly get a lot more… feral. Idly, she wondered if she’d seen anything like that before… probably not, though. She couldn’t quite reach anybody with her normal, trusty bow… but maybe that new one she’d picked up a while back would do the trick. She took aim, cocked her head back, and… fired. Nyx moves to (17,15) and uses her fancy new Longbow to shoot Soldier 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRDRHAWK Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Nyx watches as Siorel falls over in the middle of her dance, and raises an eyebrow before helping her up. “Y’good there, lass? Try an’ keep yerself upright - yer man needs ye decent.” Rejuvenated, Nyx decides that the archer nearby is gonna be… a bit of a problem. Maybe she can rectify this. Nyx moves to (18,14) and fires her Longbow at the archer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursali Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 As she noticed the rider charging her Alriana coiled her tail and took a low stance. As soon as his lance swung at her she was airborn, leaping up and crashing into the rider, knocking him off his horse as she drove her dagger into his neck. The situation with Iris really had her riled, Alriana venting some stress with the violence she committed against the mercenary. Why is Iris doubling down on this, she should just listen to me-- She hadn't noticed there was a second horseman, twisting her body out of the way to avoid being completely killed, but not enough to dodge the swing completely. "HrgHkK!" She stumbled back, coughing up blood as she felt her armor break and imbed itself into her skin along the arc of the swing. But she was alive, and it was about to be everyone and everything's problem. "GRARHHRR!" On the verge of death, in an attempt to survive, the Creation's instincts of survival flared; however, baked into her very being was the directive to kill her enemies, more so even than to survive. With another ferocious growl she leapt at the man and tackled him off his horse, dagger piercing his neck, throat, heart over and over again. Threat neutralized she stood, seeing more of her enemies approaching and dashed at them, no thought in her mind other than absolute murder.

Mercenary on the Winds Posted February 22, 2023 Author Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) "I think it may be in our best interest to move after the tigers now. They're changing their vector of attack, and more reinforcements could be on their way." Tio fixed her dress and hair, before signaling to the others. "Covering their rear is what we can do right now." ENEMY PHASE TURN 6! Once he'd gotten closer, Zeit saw the rather ferocious battle in the mountain clearing. And the battle was not going as he expected it would have. Even bolstered by a coalition of mercenary groups from all over... this new threat was breaking through them. Then, Zeit saw something. A suit of golden armor. He'd been watching back in the arena; a young woman donning golden armor. He'd itched for that fight, but Lumina was a tenacious one, and turned that entire fight on its head. But it was clear that she wasn't the only one that he recognized; further away was the tall dragon that he'd bested in their bout, and, amidst the shouting and scrambling, was the white lizard that had taken him in a single stroke. "What the fuck? What are... Agh! To hell with it! Deal with them! I'll catch up with that group down there, you two help deal with them!" Zeit sprinted ahead, hand tightening on his trusted weapon. A growing desire to rematch the the white lizard had to be quashed; the target was so much more important than any grudge. With that sword, they could change the entire fabric of Hecatia forever. Still... you better not die before I get back... Get in my way, will you? Well, I don't have to hold back anymore. "You four! You're with me, continue pressing the target! Ignore the newcomers, just get the sword!" Merc 7 charges Aly? [92, 61] The attack misses... Aly? counters! [49, 99], [40, 65] Aly tears Merc 7 limb from limb... Aly gains 22 EXP, and +3 Hidden Merc 8 hesitates slightly, noticing the ferocity with which his target was behaving... but Shaman 2 engages anyway! [11, 70] Dark magic swirls around Aly, pulling her to the ground, and crushing her... until she was unconscious. Aly has gone down! The Shaman turned to the Merc, "Monster or no, they all die the same. No hesitation, just bring them down!" The man nodded, as he moves to engage Miria with his Levin Sword! [17, 44] The bolt of lightning connects for 16 damage! Miria counters! [74, 21], [41, 23] Both connect to leave Merc 8 on death's door! 26 damage! Miria gains 10 EXP, and +4 Sword EXP Cav 3 rushes in to finish the job! [78, 88] The lance goes in but Miria gets her sword up just in time to parry it wide! Miss! She counters! [61, 11], [22, 57] Both connect for 18 damage! Miria gains 10 EXP, and +4 Sword EXP Cav 8 engages Miria with the Wind Edge! [79, 11] The blade of wind is tossed... but Miria refuses to go down, and dodge yet another fatal strike! Miss! Miria counters! [91, 57], [79, 86] Miria deals 24 damage! Miria gains 10 EXP, and +4 Sword EXP! Fighter 4 charges in on Merchant Guard 1 [56, 70] Fighter 4 crunches the guard's armor with his Warhammer... but Merchant Guard 1 hasn't fallen! 35 damage! Merchant Guard 1 counters! [50, 99] With a heavy breath, the javelin is thrust for 16 damage! Wyvern 3 sees and opening and flies in! [55, 6] The Javelin connects, and Merchant Guard 1 falls! Merchant Guard 1 felled! Merc 3 charges in, aiming for the woman with the shimmering hilt! [69, 5] His blade is evaded, opening him up for the counter! Lucille counters for 12 damage! Exhaustion keeps her from doubling! Wyvern 4 attacks Vidar! [41, 76] The javelin connects, dealing 14 damage! Perfectionist fades! Vidar counters! [11, 16], [81, 60] Two bolts, and one toasted Wyvern! Wyvern 4 felled! OTHER PHASE TURN 6! The sickening crunch of the warhammer, and then the javelin saw the guard in front of Lucille felled. The follow up attack was easy enough to dodge, but Lucille's counter was far slower than she would have liked. Casting from a tome wasn't any more difficult than just casting, but it was slower, exacerbated by her exhaustion. No time to complain, or rest, the hilt of the Escaflowne was still shimmering, and oddly, so was her ring. Something was approaching, and she wasn't going to be here when it got closer. "Vidar, target the axe man, and you take the one who attacked me. I'll get the rider!" Vidar didn't say anything after dislodging the Javelin, and simply did as he was asked to do! Vidar attacks Fighter 4! [21, 33] A bolt of lightning strikes the man down! Fighter 4 felled! Merchant Guard targets Merc 5! [48, 96] The javelin is enough! Merc 5 felled! Lucille steps forward, and engage Wyvern 4! Light of the Midnight Sky activates! [44, 3], [61, 21] Wyvern 4 is downed before he can even get an attack off! Wyvern 4 felled! Merchant Guard 5 hurries to Vidar's side to heal him to full! "...The way... is open..." PLAYER PHASE TURN 7!

MRDRHAWK Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 (edited) Nyx was surprised when the archer had essentially tossed the bow at her - that damn Pure weapon, that Nyx looked at like it had burned her. Something told her she’d never be using that thing unless she absolutely had to. “Oi, assholes! Sod off, n’leave m’kids alone!” One more arrow notched, and one more to fire, for the road. Two of these horsemen were targeting Miria, and Nyx wasn’t about to let the little cub get ganged up on anymore. Nyx moves to (18,12) and shoots Cav 3 with the Iron Bow.

Xinnidy Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 His wounds were still mounting despite the healing magic's effect. Taking a deep breath, Üllr started applying ointment on his wounds, looking further at the potential foes... and there was a curious sight. He was pretty sure that was the man he lost to in the arena. "Grr..." Glaring straight at him, Üllr almost jumped straight to action, but he couldn't minister his wounds and do that all at once. "Ugh." "S-Siorel, can I...?" Whatever she did last time, it helped him go the distance, even if he didn't feel, uh, correct, asking for it. Üllr to 18-11, vuln up.

TheRoon Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 The action was really heating up, it was very similar to their previous battle. Though this time Renais made sure not to lose herself at the sight of her comrades suffering grievous wounds, even with Miria quite injured before her. "...mm."

GoldsbroTSG Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 It was hard. Aly had been felled, so it was Miria's duty to hold the line. But she was there vanguard. Their shield! She wasn't gonna be stopped! Getting blasted by a Levin Sword, but it didn't keep her from firing back. She was starting to like the wooshy sword. It felt good to fling back wind when she needed. Then one of the horseman came in to deal a finishing shot to take her down. There is only one thing we say to Death: Not today. Miria felt like she was channeling this quote from some novel she read as she easily parried the lance and swung back. Next was another swordsman, with a very familiar wind sword at this point. When he swung Miria was quick to dive and roll to the side, swing back at him. That... seemed to be the end of it. She could feel the sweat on her face from under her helmet. "Not today," she said with a bout of confidence behind the panting. She was ready to almost-carelessly continue her advance before being healed by... someone she didn’t recognize, but they gave some encouraging words. Miria gave them a thumbs-up, "Thank you, I'll be sure to." And another feeling of relief, as Miria looked to see Renais also giving her some healing. The cub gave the pinkette a thumbs up as well. Miria armed herself and went back into the fray! Miria to 22,14, Wind Words the Sword Armor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakezuGD Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Tasha wasn't counting on hitting a gap in the knight's armor, but her shot was more accurate than she'd hoped for, freeing up the rear from threat for the time being. No time to think about it for too long, she'd have to get back out front to support the main thrust. As dumb as one of their enemies had been to tell them there were more reinforcements coming, they couldn't stop and wait for them to clear them out, not with what was going on up ahead. Natalya moves to 14-16. "Right. They won't have the luxury of being able to look behind them all the time, and we can limit our involvement if we hang far back enough. Let's do what we can." Elisa followed along with her wife, keeping half of her attention on the Princess's supposed signature. She hadn't been moving around too much all this time, meaning she was likely pinned down to some extent... Hopefully the Tigers could reach her before her support collapsed and before she could get away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Displaced Front, and all of their support had seemingly been subdued. She couldn't figure out where Zeit had gone. This force was now in complete control of the clearing, and their numbers dwarfed what they had at the moment. Defeating this force didn't seem like an option... "Shit, break to the south! We'll retreat! We can--" "To hell with that commander!" Velura looked up stunned as one of her men shouted back at her. "What are you...?" "These men were our brothers, and we're fighting for a chance to right this cursed rule! Either we succeed, or we die trying! That's what we're after, isn't it? A chance at revolution is in front of us, and we're being asked to throw away our chance, clouded people's chance for a better Hecatia? Never! I did not become a mercenary to give up a chance at a life better than this one!" Velura looked at the man hard, and then hung her head. "Infected by Tristan's optimism, his hope, his desire..."

The sounds of fighting seemed to die down from the clearing ahead, right as it seemed like they'd carved their way through. That could either be a good sign, or an incredibly bad one... Vidar looked at his remaining fighter, and nodded, "You stay with the princess, and tend to her and her mount. He and I are going--" "Not a... fucking... chance." Lucille trudged forward. "I've... watched enough people... throw their lives away in the past two weeks. They... are on their way. I... know them... they're coming... but that, doesn't mean... that I'm going to sit and hide... while others... do what I can do. If there's another... force out there, fine. I... we'll... go right through them." Vidar just stared at Lucille, before bursting out into laughter. "...My god. Are you sure that you're royalty? Most people of your station would have just given in by now, figured some way to throw their people under the bus so that they, the royal blood line could continue. Yet, here you are right alongside of us, risking your wellbeing by fighting well beyond the point of exhaustion... and for what? This blade? No, no... you're guided by something else entirely, and it is something I wish my own country had more of. Well then, let us be off. Hopefully we won't have to continue our flight, but I doubt we'll be fortunate enough." "Even if we have to... I can't let them capture me... or this blade... Lufiria is in so much danger, and I... I can't.... let it." Vidar peered out into the clearing, catching sight of the tigers. "Shoot... that's a large force, but... if we break to the east quickly, they might not be able to keep up. Strange... I can't figure out their allegiance. Nothing immediately distinguishable, and they've clouded among them as well... troubling, that's similar to what happened back at the compound and on the way..."

GoldsbroTSG Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Miria did her best to hide her exhaustion from the fight. There had been a whole lot of fighting, especially for the Golden Cub. However, she still gave a silent threat to the surviving Shaman with her sword, and the Shaman dipped. Good. There was a moment where she could breath. She was... She looked to see someone else approaching from her north. She got ready to fight, but then heard the motion of a larger squad coming from the south. A small sigh, but she wasn’t going to complain. She was getting stronger. So she'd keep the fighting up until it was over. Miria moved south. Miria to 20,11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Sari glanced towards Alriana and then down towards the group that was starting to come into view. His duties as a member of Lufiria's Intelligence-- rather, his respect for Jeremiah, was clashing with the care he felt for the woman he loved, and he froze with indecision. "Khh...!" You have to try. You have to! If you don't, no one else will... There's no way Gean is getting through to her with all those years between them. Not with what's happened to the Princess... I don't even think she knows who I am, but she'll know my family name, Jeremiah, so I just... I'm sorry, Alriana. I'll be back, I promise. He bit his lip to shake himself back to the situation. "Don't attack with intent to kill!" he called out towards the rest of the Tigers, motioning towards the group down south. "I'd like the Princess to work with us, if possible, so the less blood shed between us, the better! Siorel!" Versaris dashes to 16,12 "Huh, wha?" The lizard was breathing heavy, surprised by the sudden callout. "Give me a boost!" "Uh? Ri-Right!" Siorel tried her best, but between her exhaustion and the sudden request... "Oof..." The lizard flopped on her tail with a huff. It'd be enough to get him moving, at least... Siorel to 17,12, SPD dance Sari SPD fails! "That'll do... Thank you." Versaris dashes to 16,8 and attempts to talk to the Princess! With the priest pulverized and nothing else in range, Iris calmed down considerably, eyes scanning for-- "Aly! Aly, sister, pl-please!" The lizard scurried to Alriana's side, clutching a hand tight, looking her over. "Y-You'll be okay! You have to be okay! Help! Anyone!? Please!" Ren was right there, already moving to heal her. "Hold on, hold on! This looks rather delicate... Miss! Miss pink hair? I apologize, I didn't have time to learn names; help me with her, please!" Ren to 20,15, heal Alriana "Sister, you have to wake up...! Please... I can't, l-lose you too. You're all... I have left...!" Alriana's wounds were closing, but this scene was far too familiar for the little lizard to not let it get to her, all her frustrations towards Aly moments ago washing away very quickly. Iris idles! "You keep my opal alive, you hear me!?" Alvira was too pissed to care about revealing her private feelings, growling back at the healer that had started working before flapping her wings and dashing towards the armored merc that was dumb enough to keep this fight going! "Hey! You wanna know the biggest mistake you made today!?" Alvira to 25,14... "You hurt my friends for nothing!" ... Blizzard on Velura!
