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

[Lunar Templar]

Rias

Rias pulled the spike out of her shoulder before to much venom got into her system, she still became light headed, and her powers started acting erratically, she could convert energy just fine but forming anything was proving to be an issue.

"the incarnation of your race?!" Rias laughed "you can not 'embody' what your so eager to enslave, so eager to slaughter like you have been. your little better then the leader of a ring of bandits at the end of the day!" she shouted while trying to focus enough to get form something she can use

Karen
Karen kicked one ape into the path of the trolls swing, then slashed the other two with her back spikes, before sliding under the trolls second swing, this would put her behind it, where she then jumped up onto the troll to climb up and cut its head off, as she climbed she would be stabbing the troll with her arm blades and shoulder spikes, in an effort to keep it from doing to much to shake it off

Spoiler: Important OOC

I will be putting what she percieves in the main text block, with actual people in parenthesis. As an example: "Claire attacked the Raptor Monkey (read:Fromanzio)" = Claire attacked Fromanzio, who she perceived as a Raptor Monkey.

After attacking the shaman (read: William) with her powers, she was going to repeat the attack; but this time strike with her sword until she heard her commander (read: the shaman) shout an order. "Get her!" he called out, indicating a particularly deadly Troll Drider-Troll (read: Rias). Reacting on instinct, Claire changed her target; opening a portal and attacking through it with her longsword with a flurry of stabs and slashes.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias

Rias saw the portal open beside her "oh for fuck sake" she muttered as Claire started attacking her, and hopped back to narrowly avoid getting sliced up, Claire had been compromised, and Rias didn't enjoy what she was going to have to do

 

[Floris2123]

William used his shield to block most of the pebbles. Still some of them hit his armor and he felt the collision. He looked at Claire from behind his shield, she had started attacking Rias. William focused and brought ash to him reading himself. The ash quickly gathered around William as he released it. It transformed into a cloud of ash and he shot the cloud aiming at Claire. It would hopefully blind her. William meanwhile charged at her, aiming to knock her over by ramming her with his shield. He hoped to knock her out, and try to avoid doing too much damage.

The troll with out a second tough swung the branch to hit karen and subsequently his back, with her claws dug into his back she was unable to move quickly enough to dodge the attack, tough due to the difficult angle of the swing it only had a fraction of the force of his normal swings. Karen felt like someone just kneed her in the gut and knocked all the air out of her lungs. Her claws were dug deeper in the troll and his wound started healing up with karen's claws still inside of them.

The raptor monkeys killed by karen rose again and made a mad dash for the shaman, the shield smashed ones head open as he approached, and severed another spine, tough the other 6 (2 of the corpses splattered by the troll were unable to be re animated). As they jumped on the shaman and started clawing at him he only proceeded to heal the wounds they were causing and seemed very unwilling to re-kill any of them. Instead he called spiders (4)-(7) form their fight with the sophronius to deal with them, tough it would take a moment for them to approach.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Karen

Karen took a a moment to catch her breath, then tore her self free and climbed up the Trolls back to its shoulders quick as she could, ready to slash at the fingers off any hands that tried to grab her or brace for another hit at the first hit of what it was doing. when Karen reached it's shoulders, she struck at its neck with an arm blade with the full of her strength her intent simply to cleave its head from it's shoulders.

Rias

Rias left Claire to William while she, not being able to focus enough with the 'fog' the creatures venom had left over her mind for form a solid object, decided to instead compress all the energy she could control at one time into an unstable, potentially explosive ball, no bigger then a soft ball. she was basically breaking her own rules on 'safe handling of energy' at this point, but she was also pissed off at this shaman for what he'd done to Claire, let alone his own people, not to mention the 'haze' clouding her judgement. "i'd move if i where you Bom" Rias shouted before throwing the ball at the shaman's shield.

she wasn't sure what this was going to do but didn't really want Bom around it if it exploded

 

[hiei82]

Claire continued to attack Rias until, quiet suddenly, she found her eyesight gone and in its place a burning pain. With the advent of the pain, her portal to Rias vanished, as though it had never been, in a frantic attempt to clear the pain. She swung her sword wildly, trying to fend off the unseen attacker, until she felt something hard and metallic smash into her side, knocking her into a nearby tree.

Fearing for her life, she slammed her hands on the tree; and opened a rift to remove a piece of its cross section, letting it fall toward what she believed to be her attacker's direction.

 

[maninahat]

Bom saw the raptor monkeys claw away at the Shaman. He smiled at the results, but knew it wouldn't take much time for the raptor monkeys to end up dead again.

Seeing the spiders rushing to aid the Shaman, Bom stood in the way. He raised his axe to strike any that tried to help their master.

It was then that Rias told him to move. He took one look at the energy ball in Rias' hand and dived forward.

"Throw it!"

 

[nuba km]

While karen was able to hurt the troll faster then it could heal, its thick skin and layers of fat made it hard work, tough the troll tried to hit karen again, tough this time, due to the cut neck he ended up knocking his own head off, with karen attached. Landing on the trolls severed head thankfully absorbed a lot of the fall, tough karens back had gotten a bruise from the two heavy blows.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Karen

Karen pushed her self off the trolls severed head, and started laughing "is that it? have you anything else 'fun' for me to 'play with'?" she shout as she turned to the shaman "or is that stupid spider monster all that's left that can actually put up a fight" she was taunting him now "come on now, lets see something worth my time or are you TO WEAK to summon something that's actually DANGEROUS, or are you to cowardly to face me with out your puppets, which is it!?" she roared, openly challenging him now.

Rias

Rias threw the unstable mass of energy at the shamans shield while Karen ranted at him, she had no idea what it would do but it was worth a shot at least

 

[nuba km]

The shield blocked and absorb the explosion like with fromanzio's bomb, it then used the energy to shatter the tree that clair had cut down to stop it from hitting the shaman. The undead raptor monkeys and spiders had killed each other. The shaman looked at the fight going down hill, nothing going his way, and now being mocked by a enhanced human, he was going to have to attempt his final resource 'How dare you, YOU WANT TO SEE BIGGER! This forest is the birth place of the first tree, everyhting living here has spread from this greatest of nations. You think those trolls were big, they are NOTHING to what this forest has brought to live.' The shaman lifted his staff into the air, the leafs on it began to shake violently revealing an eye on top of the staff, a surge went trough the mind of everything he had controlled, while they got their own will back their heads thumbed as if the earth of beating against it. A bracelet on the shamans hand started glowing.


The road the group had gone down to reach the village started rising out of the ground, along with a huge segment of the forest with it, the earth shook and animals ran past in fear, the forest came to live with the sound of every animal in it, a cavalcade of noise, screeches, howls, roars, and shrill cries. The lump of land was raised over 100m into the air, cracks formed on it, ripping open to reveal a cluster of eyes at the top of this pile, some were the size of a person while others were 10m wide. The trees on this behemoth flatten down to form a shell, flock, after flock of birds flew out of their nests, the vulture griffins landed on the behemoth to feed on those crushed within the trees. The fire around the battle, stopped existing, the leafs shrunk back into the trees. The branches fused together to turn the trees into hands. The rubble from the eyes cracking open came barrelling down like a rock slide. This was a behemoth, a creature of legend, a embodiment of all the magic residue ever absorbed by the land , A creature with no will or drive content to do nothing, thought by many to be a myth.

The shamans face was contorted, twitching and veins throbbing, a expression of pain, his mind seemed to be at the very breaking point attempting to control this force of nature.

[maninahat]

The vibrations caused Bom to fall to the ground. He stared up at the behemoth. Many terrible eyes were staring back. As far as he could understand, there was one thing left to do:

Spoiler: OOC

What happened to the Black Shaman? Is he dead or simply unconcious? Depending on the answer, Bom will take one of two actions:

Spoiler: if the Black Shaman is alive but unconcious

Bom immediately ran over to the unconcious Shaman, and started trying to shake him awake. If anyone could take down the shield, it would be him.

Spoiler: if the Black Shaman is dead

Bom shouted to anyone who would listen.

"Surround that shaman and hit him with everything you've got! That shield can't stop everything!"

He sprang to his feet and ran around to the side of the Shaman. He started swinging his axe towards the Shaman, to force the shield into blocking his strikes.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Karen

Karen watched the beast raise from its resting place, reverting to her human from to conserve the time she had left, the expression on Karen's face during all this was not fear, or even concern, she was actually sizing it up, scanning what she could see for a weak spot she could rip wide open "well, that's new" she said off offhandedly, impressed by the beast, but wholly lacking any fear for it "nice monster, about time SOMEBODY thought enough of me to bring something worth while to the table" she said with a grin, as she started toward it

Rias

Rias was disappointed the energy ball didn't get threw, or even leave a burn mark, then she heard the shamans reply to Karen's taunts, and the ground started shaking, then the Behemoth began to form it self and was at a total loss of words for it.

"nice monster, about time SOMEBODY thought enough of me to bring something worth while to the table"

Karen's comment on the Behemoth snapped her back "are you fucking insane?! we need to stop this shaman NOW! before that thing kill us all"

"Surround that shaman and hit him with everything you've got! That shield can't stop everything!"
Rias ran over to the shaman, and pulled out her long sword and took a swing at the shaman, on the side opposite to Mr Bom "great, we have another god damned 'Fromanzio'" she grumbled as she started hacking away at the shaman or shield

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio had sat back for a moment, deciding to wait for his opportunity to strike. That shield was insane, but if they killed it, that shaman would probably be out of tricks. Fromanzio noticed however, that the creature was very slow. He figured that if he could piss off an ent, he could piss off another tree monster.

Fromanzio's only reply however, was laughter. He jumped back a ways and threw knives at what he could see were the creature's eyes. His goal being to catch its attention and keep a good distance.

"Hey! Fromanzio set fire to you. Did it hurt? He hopes it did! Come at Fromanzio!"

He figured if he could run from a horde of monkeys, he could avoid a slow giant tree monster.

 

[hiei82]

As Claire let the tree drop, she suddenly felt a horrible pounding in her head. It was as though her brain was in open rebellion against her. She dropped to the ground, clutching her head for a few seconds, before the pain passed. When she opened her eyes, the world beneath her seemed to be moving.

A few blinks later, she could confirm that was in fact the case. The trees around her were falling inward, crushing the creatures on the land. The fact she was one such creature did not escape her. Looking around, she could see William in a similar state; looking around at the moving world.

Acting on instinct, she ran to William, then began teleporting the ground beneath them away until they had a sizable hole in which to regain their footing. This left Claire more then a little tired and confused as to why the world seemed to be moving.

 

[nuba km]

As karen started approaching the base of the behemoth, wooden copies of her demon from started to grow out of it, at least a dozen of them, only half grown already started clawing at her general direction.

The knives bounced of the creatures eyes like they were nothing, the eyes hit didn't even look at fromanzio.

The tree hands around the group started grabbing an absorbing the corpses of the creatures that died in the fight, slowly each tree that did so started forming into a giant wooden version of the creature they had absorbed. On top of that wodden copies of the group started growing out of the bases of other trees. It seemed that what they had seen so far is the tip of a very large iceberg.

The sophonrius were too badly beaten and were too busy making sure non of them had any major wounds, in order to help.

As bom went to swing his axe, the shield decked him in the side of the head, BOOM, a white flash of light happened as bom was sent flying backwards. He was left uninjured, and feeling strange. A third of the shield had gone missing.

As rias went to swing her sword a bright flash temporarily blinded her, the sword cut part of the shamans chest. BOOM, she felt the shield smash into her sword wielding hand causing her to drop it shortly before being flung backwards into a tree. She was left uninjured and feeling strange. Another third of the shield had gone missing.

Spoiler: secondary powers

Bom has gained the secondary power of being able to near perfectly able to predict the flight path of a projectile, a projectile being any mid air body that can't effect its own flight path at random. He is only able to predict its flight path once in the air so it won't aid him in throwing, and he is only able to predict the flight path until the objects first collision, the flight path between the first and second collision is only able to be told after the first collision. Also his reaction time isn't increased, so just because he knows were an arrow is flying doesn't mean he can react to the arrow.

Rias has gained the power to absorb explosions, she doesn't gain any energy form the absorb explosion and must be within contact range of the explosion in order to absorb it, any explosion absorbed doesn't hurt her. Any explosion that makes contact with her, even if she was not aware of it is able to be absorbed. Any product of the explosion such as fire and shrapnel will also be absorbed.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias

Rias bounced off the tree, and fell to her knees, not cause she was hurt, she was startled to find the sudden blast left her no more injured then she was before, she sat there for a moment, a weird sensation rippling through her body. Rias got up as a tree shaped like a troll took a swing at her, she avoided it but it made her hurry back to her sword. once her sword was back in hand she resumed her attack on the shaman, part of her wanted to know why he was doing this, but it was to late for that now.

Karen

Karen scoffed at her 'clones', it was a lame, unimaginative trick to her. normal she'd just go around them, but they where in her way to her true target, so she set about clearing a direct path through them, only striking at the ones that directly impeded her path to the Behemoth

 

[maninahat]

Bom felt odd. As he lay on the ground, he patted himself down to make sure he was still all there. He was, and what's more, he wasn't hurt. He looked around to see the others, trying to take on whatever the hell that thing was. Karen passed by, charging back towards the Shaman.

He slowly got to his feet.

"William? Ms. claire? Anyone?!"

He pointed towards the Shaman

"Quick, murder him!"

 

[Floris2123]

Claire was swinging her sword wildly. William took a few steps back, trying to think what to do next. The ground suddenly started shaking. William looked up to see a giant creature: a behemoth. His eyes widened. He had heard of this creature before, one of his teachers had once told him that such an beast could easily destroy a city. William's jaw dropped as all he could do was stare. How were they ever going to be able to defeat that thing?!

Suddenly something grabbed William. He turned around to see that is was Claire, the crazy look in her eyes gone. She began to teleport the ground underneath them, making a hole on which they could stand. "I am glad to see that you are back." He smiled at her as he looked back at the shaman. He was the one controlling the thing, he had to die. William grabbed his sword and started running. The ground was shaking but he kept running toward the shaman. William attacked the shaman with his sword, aiming to stab him through the heart.

 

[hiei82]

Claire didn't much follow what William had said; what did he mean by "back"? Before she could give voice to the confusion however, William bolted from the hole, and moved toward the shaman who had apparently decided to attack them with a jungle. Using William's bull rush as a distraction, Claire opened a portal behind the enemy shaman, reached though, and attacked him with her long sword - hoping the shield effect was ether broken or not passive.
