Fur vs. Fang: A werewolf/vampire RP (begun) (closed, co-GMed by The_Heretic)

[ToxicPiranah]

Tim winced as the crack of pistol shots wizzed over head. He climbed back to his feet. Wielding his branch he approached the dying werewolf. Swinging the branch up like a sledge hammer he brought it down on the wolf's head. He did it again and again and again, until the beast lay dead. Tim finally took stock of the others. They all looked to be using weapons made of silver. Silver weapons! I need to learn and fast it seems Tim swallowed his throat dry. He was starting to get hungry.

Having jumped off the wolf, Vincent watched Catherine severing its jaws with her twin blades, and nimbly dodging a counter. Tim had just about clubbed his own opponent's brains out (literally - they now covered several trees), but the wolf continued to blindly claw in Tim's direction. Damned lycans, thought Vincent - damned hard to kill! He ran to Tim and severed the wolf's head with his own blade, before yelling "Tim! You need to get yourself a silver weapon!", and hurling himself back towards the main fray - the battle now strongly in the Vampire's favour. Vincent looked around, knowing that Catherine and Ernst could each handle their respective heavily wounded opponents.
Vincent sniffed the cool night air warily - he knew there was a wolf's lair nearby, and the now-dead-or-dying wolves hadn't been quiet - Vincent suspected more may arrive. Thinking to himself, it occured to Vincent that Tim didn't know lycanthropes were susceptible to silver - how much more didn't he know about his obviously-new unlife? Vincent made a mental note to give him a few lessons once they had some downtime. Interrupting his thoughts, Vincent was caught unawares by another Werewolf - seemingly much older than the others - barreling out of the forest behind him, and knocking him flat. As the wolf caught Vincent, his blade flew out of his hand, landing only metres from Tim.
"Tim! Grab that blade and give me a han-" yelled Vincent, getting cut off mid-cry by the wolf attempting to bite off his head. Vincent had to use all of his now-very-limited mobility to dodge each attack - he was very glad that the wolf's paws were engaged in keeping him pinned! "Sometime soon would be go-", Vincent managed to scream, dodging another bite from the huge beast.

Spoiler: OOC

An elder wolf- 6 others couldn't beat us, and i figured tim could do with some wolf-fighting practice...

Tim snatched the blade up from the floor, he had been a part of a medieval society at university, learning to handle a blade properly for LARPing. Swinging the blade effectivly in an arc he heade in Vincent's direction. Rather than slicing which might have only caused minimal damage to the werewolves tough hide, even if it was silver, Tim slammed the blade in a hard thrust into the base of the wolves head severeing the spine completely. He kicked the wolf off of Vincent and for good measure slammed the weapon into the ribs of the beast, pushing with all his might he ruptured the creatures heart. He wiped the blade on the wolfs fur and offered Vincent a hand.

Just keep chewing on your target (if you want), I'm going to finish this one off in next post. I just can't think anymore right now

Spoiler: Eh

While my opponent is very tasty, (Lemon flavored with hints of parsley, who knew?), i think i'lll stick with the original plan and rip this guys throat out.

Alexander felt the vampire start to overpower, dispite his best efforts. He tried shaking him some more to stun him but it would seem that the abomination had gotten used to it now. He had to end this soon before turned out of his favor so he jerked his head and ripped out a chunk of the vampire's neck. He didn't stop there though, he bit down and ripped out another chunk of it, before letting go of the Vampire's arms and ripping at his face and neck with his claws. He could feel the vampire weakening as he tried to defend his face from alex but alex didn't let up, making sure as to keep him preoccupied and not able to reach for his weapons.

He got up a few minutes later, having looked down at his work. He had completely seperated his head from his body and caused sufficent damage to his head as well. Sure, it wasn't the most exciting way to kill a vampire but it was effective, something that he valued over anything else. He knew that if you got cocky and toyed with your opponent, he could easily gain the upper hand and since he now recognised this as a elder vampire now, alex knew he would have if alex had missed a beat.

Seeing that there were no other wolves to interrupt her, Catherine focused on the single wolf in front of her. Its jaws and claws were useless, but it could still run, something it was considering at the moment. "What do you think, Vincent, Ernst, Tim? Should we let one live out the rest of its life in pain and humiliation?" It would die a slow death from starvation, and would be forever shunned because he couldn't defend the other five, not even managing to kill one of their assailants, and because he did not take the warrior's death.

 

[c_westerman13]

Taking Tim's extended hand, Vincent stood up and reclaimed his blade. "Thank you, Tim", He said heartily, "I owe you one - seriously". Looking around, Vincent looked around, seeing Ernst still fighting his opponent, and Catherine slowly torturing hers. "What do you think, Vincent, Ernst, Tim?, she questioned, regarding her lycan's fate. Considering for a moment the most cruel end for the creature, Vincent replied, his voice taking on a tinge of venom.
"Sever its feet and leave it to starve here, unless you have any silver chains handy", He said enthusiastically, thinking back to the 'pet' he'd left in his basement at home. Vincent wondered once again how long the beast would last...

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

As Ernst held onto the head he was quickly filling with holes while the werewolf tried to rip the vampire off itself, the sound of gunfire once again filled the air. After several shots, the wolf Ernst was "riding" slump to the ground and it's movements began to slow and weaken. Knowing that this was a good chance, Ernst took his blade and shoved it into the part of the skull where the head meets the neck. He jumbled the knife around, making sure to destroy all the vital brain tissue as he felt the werewolf finally hit the earth in death. Still excited by the rush of the fight, Ernst began to cut through the neck even more to the point where it was just barely hanging on. Now grabbing the head with both hands, Ernst pulled and tore the head off the beast before bringing it up to his eyes and grinning into it's now still face.

Beginning to come down off his combat high, Ernst threw the head away. He turned to the rest of the group to see how they were doing and by the looks of it, they had everything under control. It looked like a new werewolf had entered the fight, but Tim had shown his worth and managed to impale it to a tree. Catherine was still "playing" with hers, torturing the beast. "What do you think, Vincent, Ernst, Tim? Should we let one live out the rest of its life in pain and humiliation?"

"Eh, do what you want with it. I'd rather kill the beast in combat, but if you want to let it go, go ahead and do that." Despite his brutality during a fight, Ernst generally wasn't too interested in helpless foes. He'd rather they at least try to fight him, at least then he can kill them with one dramatic blow.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Silver chains? I don't carry that kind of stuff around~" she teased, walking over to the wolf. When it tried to run she threw a blade, impaling it right in the back of his ankle. It fell down, howling in pain and anger. Without another word she grabbed the hilt and twisted, snapping the bone. With another stab she tore the foot off, and worked on the other, taking her time. When she was done she walked back over to the others. "What should we do with the bodies? Leave them here or add to the Queen's tasteful decor?"

 

[c_westerman13]

"Don't you?", Replied Vincent suggestively to Catherine, "I might have some in my suitcase at the fortress, if you're interested..." Vincent watched happily as Catherine threw an accurate blade into the fleeing beast's ankle, stopping it dead. Enjoying the beast's howls of pain, Vincent almost missed Catherine's question. Catching the end of it, he got the gist, and grinned at the idea.
"If we leave all the corpse's we create whilst we're here as decoration, we soon won't be able to enter the damn place!", he replied, slightly sarcastically, "Recon we'll get many more before dawn?"

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Hmm... Seeing as they've gotten no more reinforcements, I can only assume that the Alpha in the area has warned them to stay the hell out of our territory. Any more wolves we get now will be the ones to dumb to stay away." Catherine picked up her blades and wiped them on the grass. "Why don't we head into town and see if we can't get something better to eat than -werewolf-" she spat out the last part of her sentence.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

"What should we do with the bodies? Leave them here or add to the Queen's tasteful decor?"

"I say we hang them to show any others that we mean business. Nothing like the corpse of your allies to tell you you aren't welcome." Ernst replied to Catherine's question with his ever present grin. Ernst flipped the werewolf he had just killed over and removed his blades, wiping the blood of them onto the body it once belonged to. "Either way, I'm up for a meal tonight. Not familiar with the area, but I'm sure there are some people who decided to take a night stroll on their own."

 

[Athol]

"Is that so, you sparkly little prick?" Curtis snarled as he wrapped his uninjured hand around the vampire's free arm. The pain was blinding as the sliver blade ground against his thighbone, but Curtis just used it to fuel his rage. Letting out a roar that boomed through the alley, he sunk his teeth into the vampire's exposed throat. The large vamp tried to break free, but to little avail, as he was held to securely in place.

The two of them struggled back and forth, the vampire and lycan blood mixing on the pavement. After a moment Curtis managed to get his injured leg planted, while placing the foot of his good leg on the vamps chest. With a mighty push from Curtis, the vamp ended up across the alley, leaving both arms and a good chunk of his throat with the werewolf.

After spitting out the lump of nightwalker flesh, and extracting the blades from his limbs, Curtis groaned. The wound in his hand didn't really hurt, and was in fact almost healed, but the gash in his leg from the sliver knife was taking much longer to heal, and still hurt like a *****.

Retrieving the two blades form the ground, he went over to the still moving vampire, and thrust a blade into each eye, before grabbing him by the hair and ripping his head off. Limping over to Alexander, Curtis grinned when he saw the mess that had been made of the other one. "Well done brother, you fucked that fang up real good." Then bending over and grasping the other severed head, he said "I think it's best I do this next bit alone brother, no offence. I just don't wish any repercussions to affect anyone but myself."

 

[ToxicPiranah]

Tim came to stand with the others, His stomach rumbled in hunger. "I swear I'm thirsty all the time." he said in agreement to finding a bite to eat. Surveying the destruction the four of them had wrought on the beast's Tim was astonished that he had plunged into violence so easily. A long feuding hatred of the werewolves ran through his body, forcing him to want to destroy such creatures.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"How about we string them up here instead? 'Mark our territory' so to say?" She kicked the wounded wolf on her way to one of the bodies. With a heave and a few creative ideas, she succeeded in placing the dead body in the tree. She stuck the head on the end of one of the broken branches. Slowly she repeated the same with the rest of the bodies, getting faster as they turned back to human form. "There we go~" she paused a moment to admire the morbid scene, then started walking again, this time deeper into vampire territory. "I swear I'm thirsty all the time." "It gets better with age. Well, there's a nice little town full off people who won't be missed less than a mile away. Shall we go?"

 

[figment of mind]

Alexander looked at Curtis, wondering what this next bit was, before shruging and walking out of the alley, transforming as he did and saying, "Take you time brother, i'll wait."

He then proped himself up against the corner of the building, right next to the alley way, looking out into the street with a bored look upon his face.

 

[c_westerman13]

"Are you sure that's a good idea?", interjected Vincent, "It's only an hour or so until dawn - surely the good Queen has some cattle?" Vincent stepped back and admired Catherine's handiwork, the wolves displayed proudly on various trees. Happy with the display, he leant back against the nearest tree, waiting for the group to make their minds up.

 

[Athol]

Thank you brother. Curtis thought as he watched Alex walk to the end of the alley. Waiting until Alex had looked away, he sprung quickly back onto the rooftops, both severed heads firmly in his grasp. Taking a moment to orient himself, he took off at top speed towards the vampire's fortress.

Moving swiftly, he quickly reached the border between the two powers, and stopped. I shouldn't do this he thought, his mind racing. I was the one calling against actions like this...ah fuck it! With that he continued on his way. After several minutes of running he found himself with in meters of the fortress' front gate.

Before common sense could take over, he put his plan into action. One after the other he hurled the two severed heads at the front door, the badly mangled on from Alex's kill actually splattering when it hit. As Curtis threw the heads, he dashed forwards and grabbed the body of his fallen brother from where he'd been left. Hoisting the body to his shoulder, he let out a defiant howl, and took off back towards the now abandoned nearby den.

 

[SkyeNeko]

"Surely you can taste the difference between free roaming humans and... cattle." She turned her nose up. "At the very least I'm going to go catch one and drag it back to the castle. If you want to dine on cattle, you are welcome to. Now if you'll excuse me... the sun is on its way." She sped off in the direction of the town as quickly as she could, which was rather fast because of her lithe form.

 

[c_westerman13]

Not having a chance to reply as Catherine sped off towards the village, he silently acknowledged to himself that yes, he was sinking low to dine off cattle, but truth be told, at his age, eating even every three days was enough to keep the thirst staved off, and he had eaten yesterday... With this in mind, he set off up to the castle, calling back "See you all tomorrow sometime, assuming you're both eating" to Tim and Ernst.

 

[ToxicPiranah]

Tim was uncertain of what to do. He was hungry but couldn't trust himself in the village not to go on a feeding frenzy and get caught out. Sighing he decided that he would return to the castle and find a menial member of the household staff. "Vincent! wait up!" he called as he jogged up to walk with the other vampire.
