Cannon fodder (fantasy superpower rp) (closed, started)

[drmigit2]

Ow. Fromanzio rarely ever got hit and this guy hit hard. Granted the impact should have killed him, but his new power nullified most of the damage. Still this monkey was heavy and the only thing Fromanzio could think to do was stab the creature in the neck. At the spine. So he did.

The monkey had foolishly landed on Fromanzio's ribs and ignored his arms. Knocking the wind out of him sure, but Fromanzio's endurance allowed him to bring both of his knives out of the back of the monkey and right at the back of its neck.

After fromanzio stabbed the alpha in the throat the alpha started bleeding rabidly from the throat, put it began to pound away on fromanzios face and chest, By the time the alpha bleed out, fromanzios upper body was covered in more blood then his body had in him, his face heavily bruised, and on the fringe of conciousness. it took a momment for the other monkeys to realise, but once they saw the alpha dead, they stopped what they were doing, after a second passed, some decided to run for it, while others faught over the dead body of the alpha and the rest started fighting each other over being the next alpha. Except a few which looked at bom with a expression of pure fear, as they packed way slowly making sure not to make eye contact.

 

[drmigit2]

The beast was dead! Fromanzio did it! But ow. Everything hurt at this point, especially the face. Broken bones, and owwwwwwww.

"Ha! Take that! Damned monkeys..." Fromanzio weakly said. "Oh and while you guys are at it, something to...ow...okay yeah, healing stuff. Owwwwwwwwwwwwwww"

This would put a serious damper on killing that tree. Oh well, maybe he could lead a horde of monkeys at it. That would be fun...ow. Fromanzio pushed the leader's corpse off him and the blood mix was just a huge mess. Fromanzio was pretty sure he was going to make that creature's paw into a charm or something. Sell them.

as the apes backed away Rias sighed in relief "good" and feel to her knees, her scythe dissolving into mist, "every one ok?" she asked as she tried to shake off how ill she felt.

another traveler could be seen coming up the road, she was tall, silver braided hair. as she closed distance on the group she saw the mess in the road, she stopped, looked at the group for a second "looking for a William Phoenix, any a ya'all seen him?" she asked, totally unaffected by the mess around her

As the monkey's began to fall back, or descend into infighting, Bom had time to cast a glance over to the side. Someone was walking this way. A human? What?

Spoiler: OOC

WHAT?!

 

[hiei82]

Claire, seeing the alpha fall, began striking down the few of the underlings that maintained hostility toward the group. Their leader defeated, and their group in disarray, it was an easy task - one that left them broken and beaten. When she felt it was finally safe to stop, she hurried over to Fromanzio and Rias to check on their wounds and do what she could to ensure they lived another day, oblivious to the damage done to her by the rocks tossed back through her portals.

As she started treating Rias (the one who was in immediate danger of bleeding out), Claire heard someone call out from down the road. [b/]"looking for a William Phoenix, any a ya'all seen him?"[/b] Claire looked up at the woman, covered in scales and boney spikes. Wary from the fight, Claire didn't want to get into another fight so soon, so she responded, using her silver tongue to make the best of the situation.

"I know him" she spat out, trying to act as though she hated hearing the name. She found it remarkably easy to make such an act, though this hardly came a surprise to her. "Any particular reason you are looking for him?" she asked, hoping to extract a little information before she answered in earnest

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias
"thanks, again" Rias said as Claire checked her over a made sure she wasn't going to bleed to death. as Claire pathed her up she heard some one calling out from down the road a bit and turned toward the voices owner "oh please don't be hostile ..." she thought as she just lay down to rest her self a bit

Karen

the woman walked up to Claire "i gotta letter for him from General Stick-wedged-so-far-up-his-ass-he-can't-bendover" she said in a tone clearly stating her dislike of the person, while presenting a sealed scroll in her clawed hand "so he 'round or what?" she asked in a fairly blunt tone as she stuffed the scroll back in her bag

 

[hiei82]

Claire stared at the woman, trying to gauge her, until finally she shrugged her shoulders and pointed at William. "Ask him - he might be able to tell you." She didn't know if she could trust the strange person or not, but it was not her place to rat out her C.O. to a potential enemy - he could do that all by himself if he wanted.

Done with the conversation, Claire returned to Rias, patching up her wound again. "Rias... Please stay out of combat for a while; this wound takes time to heal and we have limited medical supplies." she said, feeling the need and knowing her advice would most likely be taken in, filed, and disregarded. She made sure to pull tight on the stitches to both seal them well, and give Rias a little "motivation" not to let anyone near her shoulder again.

She turned to move on to Fromanzio and sighed. "This will be fun." she thought in a sarcastic 'tone', getting ready to try and bandage up the group psychopath. "Okay Fromanzio, where are you injured." she asked, putting on her well-honed ambassadorial mask to hide her annoyance at the person who seemed intent on getting them all killed and starting fights with anyone who happened to come within half a mile of the group.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias

Rias winced as Claire gave her stitches a stiff tug "ahh ... yes ma'am" she felt far to crappy to argue with her even a little and instead just lay there.

Karen

Karen nodded and walked over to William "your William Pheonix right?" she said less then asked as she dug the scroll back out "here" and handed him the scroll, which was a formal order, that Karen was joining his team, as well summery of Karen, both in terms of her ability's and 'personality quirks', it would pretty much sound like she was getting dumped on him cause his superiors didn't want to deal with her

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio issued out a pain filled laugh. "Mostly my nose. Probably broken and maybe a few cracked ribs. Everything else is find and Fromanzio thinks he can walk but ow. Oh, but while you are at it, anything to clean this blood up would be lovely. Fromanzio is done with this forest and he does not want the river springing to life to send hundreds of pissed off lizard men to kill him too."

The most disappointing thing about this ordeal was that the monkeys did not accept Fromanzio as their alpha. An army of monkeys would have been the best thing ever.

 

[hiei82]

Claire raised an eyebrow at the response. It had been surprisingly straight answer from the most... sanity challenged member of their little group. Without missing a beat, she leaned in, looked carefully at his nose, then popped it back into place with undue force, then proceeded to wrap it up to facilitate its quick healing. Returning to the more important of the healing tasks, she spoke up, her voice cold, waiting for some 'witty' remark at what she was about to ask. "Please remove your shirt. I'll check out the ribs and wrap them if needed."

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio sighed. Undressing was something he rarely did but if it had to be done...

Fromanzio unbuttoned his once colorful green and black long sleeved shirt and put it to the side. It was all a dark maroon now from the blood. The stains would easily wash off but the clothes had taken a beating. He groaned at the prospect of not wearing his normal clothes.

Fromanzio's chest was mostly purple at this point, the bruising was pretty thorough and while he did not feel much pain, movement on his chest was difficult and his body wanted to just lay around for awhile. His legs might have something to say to that in a bit, but for now it would be satisfied.

 

[maninahat]

Bom squinted at the odd looking messenger.

"Who..." he paused for a moment to collect his thoughts.

It was then he noticed that he was still holding onto what was left of the monkey corpse. He tossed it to one side, wiped his bloody hands down the nearest tree, and tried again.

"Who are you?" he asked, eyeing the scales and claws. "What" might have been the more appropriate question.

 

[hiei82]

Claire winced at the bruising. It would be painful for Fromanzio soon; that dull kind of pain that left a person with the feeling that their body was in open rebellion against them. After a few seconds of checking the wounds; just to ensure that none of the bruising was in fact internal bleeding; she began to wrap the wounds, trying to keep the pressure on the wounds high, but with the minimum amount of pain.

When she had finished, she turned to the others, asking "Does anyone else need medical attention?"

 

[Floris2123]

William had been fighting with a few other apes when they all seemed to flee or fight each other. William had just began to clean his sword as he walked back to the group, when he saw a woman walk over to him. The woman appeared to be an warrior and she was tall very tall she was just a bit taller then William in fact. "your William Phoenix right?" she grabbed a scroll and gave it to William. "here" William looked at the woman and then at the scroll.

William looked at the scroll, it was an formal order that Karen which the woman was called apparently, would join his team. William began to read the scroll further, allot of information about Karen was wrote down. William looked over it when he realized something. He thought that the leaders did care and send help, but this woman was sent to them purely to die. She seemed like the kind of person nobody wanted under their command. William looked at the woman with an smile, she didn't need to know what he would think of her. "Welcome aboard Karen, we could use some help and you seem like the kind of person who can pull their weight around. Well follow me and I will introduce you to the rest of the group." William began to walk back to the rest of the group.

William looked around he saw that most of them were wounded, but none of them had died so that was something. "I am glad to see you all made it, well everyone this is Karen she will be joining us for the rest of the mission. Karen these people are mr.Bom, Claire, Rias and Fromanzio." William pointed to each of them." Well anyway I think it will be best to head out before they figure out who the new alpha is. So grab your supplies and lets go." William grabbed his supplies and quickly grabbed some bandages. He began to treat his wounds carefully, they weren't much more then cuts but still infection would be bad.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias

Rias waved from her position "you'll have to forgive me for not getting up, but your timing is perfect, i can get the rest i need now"

Karen

Karen waved back to Rias and the rest of the group as well "my full name is Karen Krieg, glad i finally caught up to you guys" she said taking a closer look at the group "from the looks a things, you could a used me sooner though"

"Who are you?"
Karen eyed the Yama a minute, following his eyes "don't you mean 'what are you?'" she said with a smirk "i get that a lot, most enchanted don't physical change when their powers awaken" transforming in the middle of her sentence "but you'll find, the things that make me different from every one else, are perfect for a suicide mission like this" her voice change to a deeper, more growl like sound as she spoke in her other form before reverting back to normal "so, i hope that answered your question"

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio got up. He used his water sac to clean the blood off himself, he had brought way more water than he would ever need so that was not a problem. The wounds hurt a tiny bit but Fromanzio was pretty good with pain and could dish out way more than others could bring. Though cracking his nose hurt the worst. Ouch. Oh and now there was a demon morph in the group. Yay.

"so, i hope that answered your question"

Fromanzio was already beginning to like the new girl, someone to take the hits since James got drunk and lost in the village would be nice. Seriously though, whatever happened to James had to be funny, it made Fromanzio laugh a little bit thinking of it. "Alright, perhaps you might share Fromanzio's penchant for destruction? How does killing a tree ent sound? Consider that our first objective beyond killing whatever the hell sent the monkeys at us. Fromanzio's guess is it was whoever the damned tree was talking about." He laughed a bit at how he was essentially planning to kill both sides for shits and giggles.

It still hurt a bit to laugh.

Fromanzio decided that if the monkey intended to do that to him, desecrating a corpse was not outside the boundaries. So he cut off the paws and head of the monkey, throwing it in the forest trees by the tail and screaming "And don't you dare think you can handle Fromanzio forest!" Now not only was he going to burn this forest to the ground, he was also going to dance on the ashes.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Karen

How does killing a tree ent sound?

Karen looked up, like she was thinking "whats a 'tree ent'? is it an enemy?"

Rias
Rias rolled her eyes and pushed her self up "good lord, we finally get some back up and your already trying to rope them into your petty revenge plot? she said taking a few deep breaths before turning to Karen

"the Trent are the true rulers of Ethsich, Fromanzio manage to piss one off and now wants to kill one cause it had the nerve to enforce its own rules" she said as she found a rock to sit on "so no, its not the enemy of the group on the whole, only an enemy of Fromanzio"

 

[maninahat]

As William introduced Bom to Karen, Bom made a bow. "Pleased to make your aquiantance, Ms. Kreig".

"so, i hope that answered your question"

Well it sort of did. Other questions cropped up, like how she managed to catch up with the group so easily, but that sort of thing could wait. There were wounded and dead apes all over, and the others were hardly in the best shape.

"its not the enemy of the group on the whole, only an enemy of Fromanzio"

"Speaking of which Fromanzio," Bom said, "how exactly did you make an enemy of all those raptor monkeys?"

 

[drmigit2]

"how exactly did you make an enemy of all those raptor monkeys?"

Fromanzio shrugged, "Honestly, one just saw Fromanzio and started screeching and soon forty or so were chasing him through the forest. Probably the ent is sending them after Fromanzio, that or he simply stepped on their territory."

"so no, its not the enemy of the group on the whole, only an enemy of Fromanzio"

Fromanzio laughed and shook his head. "You still don't see do you? This whole forest has turned against us and you helped attack the monkeys. You are just as far in this as Fromanzio! Now, killing that ent would end all of our problems here. So please, think clearly for once in your life Rias."
