The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 10, 2013

David West
"...Eh?...How long as she hidde-...." David stopped dead when he saw the blood.
"....What?...Aw crap, ELENA!" He said to try and wake her up, afraid she was going to bleed to death.
It took some doing by Slindis to clam him down.
"Dammit, must have cut something when we were running...Christ, Give it to me straight, how bad is it?!" He pleaded, his joking demeanor all but gone now.

Rugal

Keep an eye out. Nature Calls" Rugal said to Puce as he backed off for a moment to take a pee.

Not!Rugal
As Teri tended to Kokoa, she could have sworn she heard something:
[sub]"-Yes, took some doing but they are right where I want them. Viscus, bring the Airship back to AIM, that accursed thing has brought me nothing but trouble. Wesker, bring some men for stage 2-"[/sub] said as voice that sounded extremely like Rugal's.
She wandered away from the group to a clearing and found the crimelord, decked out in a purple(?) suit suit was talking into his PDA.
"-Once I'm done on my end, They'll all be dead before they even know I betrayed them....Good, I'll call you back, Rugal out." He finished as he turned around with a set of eyes in his head.
A set that was now looking at her.
"Oh......well.....how long have you been standing there?..." he asked in a causal voice.

bluerocker · Jan 10, 2013

Rugal

After the crimelord wandered off and did his business, he thought he heard a sound of snapping twigs and leaves and readied a stance. There was a pause, and then a cry;

Code:

"Mr Bernstein, Thank God!"

Rugal felt a force crash into him, and a pair of arms wrap around his torso in a vice like grip, the girl shaking in sobs,

Code:

"We were attacked! My group was scattered by a hoard of terrible things and I- I-"

She shook a little more, no doubt out of sheer terror, and Rugal had realized that it was only Teri, if a bit shaken. With an awkward movement, the King of Fighters pushed the girl away, and... Didn't detect anything? Well, he could hear the girl's sobs clearly shaking her.

"Teri, er... Speak clearly. Tell me what happened? Where is your group?"

The girl shook her head again, her sobs still filling the air,

Code:

"UWAAAAHHH! I'm so scared! I saw Caim go down from a giant cockroach! [u]CAIM[/u] of all people! Please don't leave me alone..."

Not!Rugal

A laugh (that sounded far more like a gasp) escaped the tablet as Teri looked at Rugal in shock.

Code:

"Mr.. Bernstein?"

She tried to change the conversation to a far more sane topic; hoping she could stall for time as she tried to make sense of the scenario,

Code:

"Er... I just got here. I heard your voice and I... Well, when did you get here? I thought you were with another group. At least, that's what Angelus told Caim. Where did you get your eyes?!"

Unfortunately, her mind being synched with a Tablet did not bode well for hiding her quickly racing heart, or for the threads of doubt forming in her mind;

[sub]"He wants to kill us all. I shouldn't have trusted him. God, why? Why?!"[/sub]

The Cartel Lord began to walk towards the girl, his eyes still fixed upon her, even when she was slowly stepping back, and slowly removing a bottle of water from her satchel...

Aftan | Alashi (Ella) | Altea | Akane | Cadolbolg | Devon | Ton Ton: Group #5

[color=15650D]"Let's do this!"[/color]

As the duo speed towards the cockroaches with vigor; they did not notice a shadow passing over them.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 10, 2013

Rugal
....Something's wrong with this picture.... Rugal thought, but Teri sounds like she was in a bad state.
"Alright...Now listen to me: Caim is a lot harder then you think. It'll take a lot more then a mere cockroach to take him down. So here's what we are going to do, We are going to get Puce and Kurumu, They are going to help us and we'll get rid of the cockroach. Understand?" He said, the writer nodding as she sniffed.

Code:

"I understand. Thank you Mr. Bernstein"

Rugal smiled and lead the way the way towards the others, holding her hand as he did.

Not!Rugal
"...I'm guessing....Too long..." The self proclaimed Lord God said as he advanced on Teri.
"I was hoping we'd settle Later, Was going to be a wonderful party, Wesker, Bison, Viscus, Bruiser. Oh the fun we could have had..." He smiled as he advanced closer, his massive frame becoming more and more apparent.
Teri soon found herself backed up to a tree as the man in Purple knelled down to come face to face.
"Don't be like this, You know full well what kind of a man I am. Mmmm....Bruiser went into great detail about what he did to you, what he would've done to you. And I have to admit..."
An unsettling grin appeared on his face.
"...Some of them sounded rather fun..." He finished as his hands glowed a blood red as he brought up his slashing aura.
"Try not to bleed too much....Mm?"
As Rugal was talking, Teri poured the bottle, giving her a moment to escape.

NotYetForsaken · Jan 10, 2013

Kyre

The Anti-Mage smiled happily and threw her arms around Kurumu, "I did... I missed you. I never should have left alone." Her hands snaked along Kurumu's skin until she reached Fang's cold hard hilt. Kyre was crying now, this girl had been like a mother to her, seen the depths of darkness with her. Yet, at the same time Kyre couldn't recall how she knew, but she did.

"I love you friend Kurumu," she pressed deeply into the Succubus' chest, "I won't leave you again."

The strike was fast and hard. Kyre was a good meter away, and Talon was in her right hand, leaves rained down upon the two as crimson droplets filled the air around them, the Anti-Mage's eyes were crazed, and her toothy smile shone in the blue moonlight, "I'll make sure you'll never be able to leave me either!"

Kyre had cut off Kurumu's wings, and covered herself in the Succubus's blood. She gripped Talon with both hands and charged forward, intent on severing all of Kurumu's limbs.

BlackHarte

"Coffee with lots of caramel and sugar is really the best," he sighed to himself, slinking back into his chair, "I wonder how the young master is doing..."

bluecrimson · Jan 10, 2013

Sadei yelled in Teri's mind. Teri, it doesn't matter what he tries, I won't allow it! The silver staff seemed to give itself just enough weight for the author to defend herself, and a light steam began issuing from it.

[hr]

Kyre | Mark | Tajuh: Drop Group #2

Tajuh laughed dryly. "That could have worked were it not for the main group that was to be defending the planet wanting the destruction. But you think Devon is my author? You really do? You're sadly mistaken, as he only penned the Eberron children. From what I've done, I'm certain we'll be seeing plenty of each other in the afterlife. And you know what? Considering the fact that it's all held up as well as it has, I'd do it all again. I'll gladly be the man that does what needs to be done if it will ensure the safety of the whole."

The man had shifted off of his ranting to a tired tone, not wanting to deal with the man that had such corrosive ideas.

[hr]

Slindis turned to the succubi with what could only be her author after casting a few Cure Light Wounds on the cuts, glaring at the two after Elena's cuts were mended. [color=c20000]"It's not enough that you have to destroy my home with your writing, but you also have to consort with succubi that are as horrid as you are? You sicken me."[/color]

The young man held his hands up in a non-threatening manner "Now hold on here, Slindis. You were reunited with your daughter, weren't you? Sure, I had to work with Lucifer to do it and spend some time at his to do so, But I'm looking out for you. C'mon, David, back me up here."

Code:

Not!Devon is casting Charm Person on David! He has to roll a 10 or higher to avoid the spell.

-Charm Person
Enchantment (Charm) [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Brd 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One humanoid creature
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

This charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target's attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.

The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.

[hr]

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia | Rugal: Drop Group #4
vs.
Not!Slindis | Not!Teri

The Paladin nodded. [color=c20000]"I was aiming at rounding up the groups that were split up by the fall. I've already reunited with Teri, and the two of us have set up a small campsite. Would you mind following me?"[/color] Melethia ran off to her mom, waving the group on. "C'mon, guys! My mom's been out lotsa times. I'm sure she's already got something really awesome set up!"

The Paladin smiled to herself mentally. Even if she couldn't get them all, she could take them apart one by one into the ambush Teri had set up.

[hr]

Devon shook his head. "Hey now, all of this without knowing each other's names? Plus, I'd kinda like to stick with you and see why you weren't supposed to be in hell. Is that so much to ask for?" He went over to her, hoping that she'd stick around for longer.

bluerocker · Jan 10, 2013

Rugal

The False Teri leaned happily against Rugal's arm as she was being escorted back to the group, her sniffles lightening up as they walked,

Code:

"I'm glad I found you, Mr. Bernstein. I don't know what I would have survived if it wasn't you I found. You're super strong and everything... Hee hee!"

Were Rugal able to see, the girl's face was a bit red,

Code:

"Er... Forget I said that! Hee hee. You've even done well, despite the ponies. Hmn, makes me wonder... Did it change [u]Everything[/u] when you were sent to that hellhole? Was it good penance for some of things you've done? I'm sure Tomoya isn't too happy about that power drain you did to him a while back. Maybe he got some of your crazy."

Rugal looked (HA) towards the girl in confusion, "What did you just say?"

Teri smiled again,

Code:

"You heard me Mr. Bernstein. Maybe Tomoya got some of your crazy. Maybe that's why I like being around you; I've been told I got my own brand of crazy... A shame though. If you were a bit younger and I was a little older, things would work a little better between us."

That was when Rugal Bernstein felt something literally and metaphorically hit him in the gut; as a sharp piece of metal was jabbed in his stomach.

There was a distinctly cruel cackle, and "Teri" said,

Code:

"I suppose like your ponies, you're all whinny and no bite! Hee hee hee! Get it?! Ah, such a shame... The good ones always die young.. You're like wine, you know? Perfectly aged~!"

That was when the metal was jerked from his stomach; and the sound of it coming was quickly upon the Fighter.

Not!Rugal

The Water Elemental appeared quickly to it's shaken Mistress, and caught the impact of Rugal's strike in it's hands. The Fake!Rugal was stunned at this development, to the point that Teri was able to break away and open another water bottle on the ground, causing another Water Elemental to raise from the ground. As Rugal fussed with the first Water Elemental, the second slammed into the Fighter from behind.

Teri would have ran for it, but sheer shock and terror rooted her feet to the ground. Bruiser. The bastard was involved with Bruiser. The girl couldn't take this. The betrayal was bad enough, but the mere mention of that monster, as well as ALL that Rugal implied was too much.

"Sadei, I think I'm going to be sick."

"Don't just sit there, use magic! Or did you forget that?!"

Teri shakily held her hands up at the command by her staff, and moved them in a practiced motion,

"Of course...

Code:

My Lord, My God, Calamity befalls me. Please, send your [u][b]Divine Justice[/b][/u] upon the one who brings me ill."

At the end of those words, a ghostly Longsword appeared, and began to attack the Fake Rugal as well.

A.I. Vermilion | Dmitri: Dmitri's Home

Alarms ran off the charts as Teri's vitals appeared in the book in Dimitri's hands. With a deep frown, The AI's eyes flashed as different protocols of emergency were activated.

[color=3897E0]

Code:

"This will have to wait, Vermilion. Teri is in extreme danger! ALL MESSAGING HANDS, TO ME!"

[/color]

Several books appeared around the butler as they floated around Dimitri; messages of SOS being sent out to various PDA holders. Ironically, Rugal Bernstein's absent PDA was on that list.

Angelus bowed her head, and said, "They were captured by natives. We came looking for any who could come with us to help them. I even heard the both of them were going to be sold as breeding stock if we didn't hurry..."

Caim only remained mute; his eyes piercing the group even moreso than usual.

As Cadolbolg cavorted about his "Parents", Ton Ton looked at Caim in confusion; a familiar feeling of anxiousness filling him, and he whispered to Cadolbolg, [color=15650D]"I don't like this... Something's wrong."[/color]

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Jan 10, 2013

Angelus | Caim | Jake | Kalastryn | Kokoa | Teri: Drop Group #1
vs.
Not!Rugal
Spotting Teri wandering off, Jake followed. He could only watch in horror as Rugal showed his true colours, attacking the young girl. But she came back, managing to summon two water elementals. Tough, but they would not be enough. Jake tapped Caim on the shoulder and ran off towards Teri, sword drawn and ready for the charge.

"Teri! We're coming!" he shouted as he ran in.

Teri held her staff up and spoke words that Jake ignored, as he saw an opening from Rugal knocking back the first elemental and then being hit from behind by the second. Jake's sword glittered light blue in the twilight as he swung it from low to high in a massive gutting swing.

Rugal blocked it by grabbing the blade. A trickle of blood ran down it. Jake grinned and followed through, impacting against the King of Fighters and simply stopping.
"Oh shit."

Akane breathed a sigh of relief at their save by the Pact duo, immediately sheathing her sword and running over to Aftan. She waited fretfully for Aftan's Phoenix to heal the Knight. It had someone else to heal as well.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 10, 2013

Rugal
Rugal stopped instantly at the mention of his time spent...in that place.
But things quickly took a turn for the weird as she kept talking.
...What the hell did Bruiser do to this ch-UGH!!?
His train of thought was derailed by the blade that dug itself into his gut.
This combined with the other wounds was a fatal combination.
Blood starting pouring from the stab wound as he dropped his staff and fell onto the ground as the imposter stabbed him again, this time in the spine.
"YOU.......SPINELe[sub]ss[/sub]....WHORE!" He shouted in pain and anger before Fake Teri pulled the blade out again.

Code:

"Tee-hee-hee..."Spineless" HAHAHAHAHAAH!

A small blot of rage fuelled his next move, grabbing the Fake's leg and pulling her to the ground.
He was able to get her in a Ankle Lock hold and began twisting her foreleg, hearing a good Snap as he rotated it 360 degrees.
Something told him to ease off the leg, he didn't listen.

Not!Rugal
"Indeed." The Lord of Fighters said before grabbing Jake by the neck and lifting him several feet off the ground.
A quick smirk later and Jake found himself flying towards a tree, impacting with enough force to cause it to uproot.
Turning back to the Water Elementals, he merely said "Kids, eh?" before casually blocking and dodging their swings and attacks.
"Come on, REALLY sock it too me this time!" He taunted as he allowed one of the guardians to land a hit, right in the face no doubt.
"...That all?" He remarked before he returned the favour, hitting with enough force to cause to revert back at a puddle for a moment.
He was merely counting down until they disappeared.

David West
David was more concerned for Elena, but when Devon spoke....
"....He kinda has a point, Slin...I mean...A lot of us have questionable pasts..." He said as he walked beside his new friend.
"But the Past is the past...Right? Come on, He's sorry, right?"
It was rather clear that something was done to David, Elena was still out and yet his mood changed completely.

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Jan 10, 2013

Jake groaned as his vision swam. "Oh fuck that hurt. Shit, Teri!" Jake struggled back to his feet, glad to not have anything broken, though his ribs hurt from their earlier break in the Rising Dawn. Making his way over to Teri, he took a defensive stance in front of her and looked back at her. "You've got some offensive magic right? Anything I can do to help, or is keeping Rugal away from you best?" he said, keeping an eye on the King of Fighters ahead.

"AFTAN!" Akane cried, falling to her knees before the White Knight. "I thought we'd lost you, then you attacked us, then I killed the fake you, but I burnt Kokoa, oh Gods we have to get back you have to help Teri heal her oh Gods I burnt her so badly in my rage oh Gods how can I be forgiven!" The distraught Kitsune babbled with tears flowing fast down her face. She jumped to her feet and grabbed Aftan, dragging her back towards Kokoa.

OOC~Ladies, first - I think not Captcha, bitches be trippin'! Get back in the office and make me money *****!

bluerocker · Jan 10, 2013

Teri gasped as Jake was thrown against the tree, but gave an inward sigh of relief as he stood back up and asked a question.

Code:

"Give me a water bottle! DIVINE JUSTICE, HAVE AT IT! Elementals, Rise!"

As the blade jabbed at the fighter and the elementals rose to attack again, tears ran down the girl's face as she began to chant in a language not known to any but the Divine (Celestial) and a dog appeared by her side. The creature was beautiful, and looked similar to a golden retriever; but it's fur was more of a glowing medium brown. It growled at the being before it, and Teri said through her sorrow;

Code:

"Caramel, SIC EM!"

The dog growled, and it's teeth began to glow before bounding between the Water Elementals and jumping towards the King of Fighters with it's teeth bared.

Teri too, had her teeth bared in the assault, and choked out of the tablet,

Code:

"I fixed you when you were as broken as I was! I didn't mock you for your infirmities! You promised me my safety! I WAS YOUR EQUAL! I [u]TRUSTED[/u] YOU! WHY?! What is possessing you to do this?!"

Angry static erupted as a scream of ferocity tore from it; and the dog's teeth dug into the Fighter's Leg.

Thankfully, the sound of footsteps heralded the oncoming arrival of Caim and the others...

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia | Rugal: Drop Group #4
vs.
Not!Slindis | Not!Teri

The mad laughter of the girl did not cease, even with her leg broken, but she frowned for a moment when she remembered what Berstein said to her,

Code:

"Aw, I'm not your type, huh? But "Whore"..? Now that's just cruel! You shouldn't talk that way to a lady! I WAS NEVER A WHORE! THAT BASTARD WANTED ME TO BE! BUT I SURVIVED! Not like you did, Mr. I-Have-Backup-Bodies! When I'm through with you, you'll wish you [u]could[/u] go back to one!"

And with her shaking arms, she moved to plunge the blade again.

Caim frowned at Ton Ton, and said,

Code:

"Awfully presumptious for one so small. Do you not care about the Author? Do you want her to be taken away and never seen again? Then come with us, for we shall save them!"

The dragon laughed, and said, "I'll even let the rest of the humans rest in my claws for protection..."

A.I. Vermilion | Dmitri: Dmitri's Home

Lights flashed on and off as the girl outside waged magical war with a Fake; her storming emotions threatening to blow the place sky high if Dimitri wasn't watching over everything so carefully.

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Jan 10, 2013

"Water bottles in me webbing belt right in front of ya!" Jake said as his attention returned to the fight. He felt weak just standing there, letting the Elementals do all the work, but he was way outmatched against Rugal. But if he could even delay the King of Fighters for but a moment against Teri and give her time to flee, he was doing something worthwhile.

"Gods give me the strength to protect her..." he muttered aloud.

bluecrimson · Jan 10, 2013

Kyre | Mark | Tajuh: Drop Group #2

He nodded. "How about we agree on the goal, even if the finer details are areas we may disagree. If you'll excuse me, I'd say that checking up on Kyre would be a good idea. I don't trust this forest one bit, and there's already been attacks by clones. There's nothing stopping attacks from others."

As he walked outside, he saw Kyre and Kurumu embracing. "Mark, head outside. Either option for what's happening out there isn't good."

[hr]

Devon grinned as he talked on. "No, she wouldn't. After all, she's to scared of what would happen if her daughter saw her mark. Oh wait, You didn't tell them yet, did you? David, are you comfortable with allowing a person who's attached to cutthroat mercenaries tend to the woman you made a deal with Death for to reclaim? If it would bring her home back, she'd make a deal with anyone to do that. Maybe even the Hammer Empire. Did you do so much to have a self-righteous ***** sell the woman you love for her own selfish desires?" The small smirk grew as he looked to David for his response.

Slindis began drawing her blade, slowly growing angry at the man. [color=c20000]"Who in Khyber are you to say that, you callous bastard?! You're the one that caused the destruction of our home!"[/color]

He laughed at the indignant response. "Oh, did I? I was just sitting comfortably at home when it was destroyed because of your inaction. But wait, you're the knight. Clearly you can do no wrong...Besides that time you let your brothers and sisters in the temple die. Or how about that time that you ransacked the holy place of your religion? Or maybe it was heading back to that same area you lost your brothers and sisters and throwing the events into motion that caused your planet's destruction?"

[hr]

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia | Rugal: Drop Group #4
vs.
Not!Slindis | Not!Teri

As they made it deeper into the forest, Slindis touched her left arm, causing a dense fog to coat the area which made it difficult for Kurumu to see. [color=c20000]"I'm sorry, Melethia."[/color]

Melethia was confused by this and tugged her mother's leg. "For what?"

Before the girl had a chance to react, Slindis horribly skewered her with both rapiers. [color=c20000]"This."[/color]

The young girl let out a sharp cry of pain as the drow twisted the rapiers around, making sure that the acid and frost got into as much area as possible before she ripped the blades out. The stench of blood couldn't be smelled by Puce from this far, but Kurumu could easily smell it.
[hr]

He gave a genuine smile. "It's a great name, and I really do appreciate you helping me so much, even if I did guilt trip you. How about we check up on the two that just landed?" Devon made his way back to the group, playing a small melody on his guitar as he did so.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 10, 2013

Rugal
Rugal felt the blade cut his shoulder and the cries of pain reached Puce as he made his way over.
"....Go....to...[sub]helllll....[/sub]" He managed to say before he passed out, a bloody wreak on the ground.
It was around this time that Puce found Teri trying to free her broken leg from Rugal's hold.

Sgt_Jakeman214 · Jan 10, 2013

"Wait what? Aftaaaaaaaaan!" Akane shouted as she ran after her partner. Something did definitely feel wrong about the Dragon and her Rider's spirits...

"Angelus and Caim are fakes! Evil spirits of the forest! GET CLEAR!" the Kitsune shouted to everyone as the realization hit her.

bluecrimson · Jan 10, 2013

Kyre | Mark | Tajuh: Drop Group #2

Tajuh looked again at the situation, quickly trying to break down what was happening. "Mark, split them apart. Either Kyre's lost her mind or something else that's very wrong is happening here." Mark saw that the man was stretching, getting ready for combat again.

[hr]

Slindis was drawing her blades more, aiming at attacking the succubus. [color=c20000]"Who the hell are you two to say those things?"[/color]

Devon laughed as he continued. "Oh, she'd try apologizing, but it wouldn't do a bit of good. After all, she is a freak. And you know the best part of this? She can't kill me, because she'd be killing herself and her daughter by doing so! Goddamn, I love it when a plan comes together. Don't you, my dear?" He whistled a small little ditty as Slindis tried her best to contain her fury.

[color=c20000]"Devon, We're done here. If you escape here, I will hunt you down. And although I may not kill you, there are an incredible amount of ways that I can make your life completely miserable. I think I'll start by getting rid of that succubus there."[/color] Slindis charged Alashi and stabbed in the same motion with the speed of someone that's fought for years.

[hr]

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia | Rugal: Drop Group #4
vs.
Not!Slindis | Not!Teri

Melethia was nearly lifeless as Kurumu rushed her back to where Puce should have been with a nearly blank face of shock. The wounds that Slindis had delivered were grave, and Kurumu knew she couldn't hold on for a good deal of time without immediate medical aid. [sub][sub]"...why?..."[/sub][/sub] The young girl's feeble plea was crushing, and it was filled with a mixture of disbelief and despair.

Meanwhile, the Drow flicked her wrist to stab the two holding her arms in the faces, and they loosened their grip for long enough for the well-trained paladin to break the grip and jam a rapiers through the eye socket of Mu, flicking the wrist a few times to thoroughly destroy the brain. [color=c20000]"Succubi, you feeble tricks will not work on a knight that's lived their entire one hundred plus years on the battlefield."[/color]

Slindis was outnumbered two to one, and from how easily she killed one of the illusions, it was clear that this made the fight almost fair.

[hr]

Devon nodded. "I'd say more of close friends, although I've never been good with picking up on this sort of thing." He made his way to the rest of the group when Akane called out her warning.

"Fakes, then? I'll take a look and see to make sure about that." he focused on the two, detecting a strong aura of magic around the two.

Code:

Devon casted Detect Magic.

-Detect Magic
Divination
Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped emanation
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.

1st Round
Presence or absence of magical auras.

2nd Round
Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.

3rd Round
The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)

Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras.

Aura Strength
An aura's power depends on a spell's functioning spell level or an item's caster level. If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two.

Spell or Object Aura Power
Faint Moderate Strong Overwhelming
Functioning spell (spell level) 3rd or lower 4th-6th 7th-9th 10th+ (deity-level)
Magic item (caster level) 5th or lower 6th-11th 12th-20th 21st+ (artifact)
Lingering Aura
A magical aura lingers after its original source dissipates (in the case of a spell) or is destroyed (in the case of a magic item). If detect magic is cast and directed at such a location, the spell indicates an aura strength of dim (even weaker than a faint aura). How long the aura lingers at this dim level depends on its original power:

Original Strength Duration of Lingering Aura
Faint 1d6 rounds
Moderate 1d6 minutes
Strong 1d6ױ0 minutes
Overwhelming 1d6 days
Outsiders and elementals are not magical in themselves, but if they are summoned, the conjuration spell registers.

bluerocker · Jan 10, 2013

Teri did as she was directed, and grabbed a bottle of the stuff from Jake, and dumped it out on the ground; causing another Elemental to be born. Sending after it's siblings, the dog and the Divine Sword, As well as Kokoa and Caim coming in for the charge; Teri could safely say that things were about to get messy. That didn't stop her face from being any less messy than the situation. Tears were flowing heavily down a red face contorted in anger and grief as she concentrated on keeping her spells up and running.

Kurumu | Puce | Melethia | Rugal: Drop Group #4
vs.
Not!Slindis | Not!Teri

Before Puce arrived

As the False Teri twisted the knife and pulled it out the man's shoulder, and whispered to the fading man,

Code:

"[sub]that's where [u]you'll[/u] be going, asshole. Don't worry; your little friend will join you soon. It'll be fun hearing her curse your name as she falls from grace.[/sub]"

When Puce approached, the facade of the weak and helpless Author kicked in again, and she gave a gasp of relief,

Code:

"Puce! Thank God! AH~!"

She weakly tried to get out of Rugal's grasp, but the "dead man's" grip held strong. Another sharp cry echoed from the fake's mouth as she twisted around,

Code:

"Help me, Puce! He won't let go, even when he's passed out!"

As Puce moved to help Fake!Teri, he asked again, "What happened here?!"

Fake!Teri let out another sob of pain as Puce moved to free her leg, and said [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"I was separated from my group during an attack. I even saw Caim get downed by a giant cockroach! Anyway, I was able to escape; and I ran into Mr. Bernstein. Naturally, I was relieved, but then he attacked me! I've no idea what prompted him, maybe he something funny, I dunno; but I got a lucky shot in, and he fell. So... Well.. I... I..."

[/color]

The girl broke into sobs again, [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"I didn't [u]want[/u] to do it, but I was scared of what could happen if he got back up! I... I killed him! God forgive me, I did; most likely..."

[/color]

The False Angelus frowned at the interlopers seeing through their guise so quickly, but did not fret. Instead, the red dragon spread her wings and took in a deep breath...

The False Caim, on the other hand, lightly patted his son, and took Ton Ton from his back,

Code:

"You're a bore and an interloper. I hope you get roasted."

With a simple throw, the Tonberry began to fly through the air at uncomfortable speeds.

Rugal Bernstein
This was it.
This was how it was going to end.
Back in his prime, he could take a few deep stabs, but his blindness and his wounds from earlier, it all added up.
He was fading in and out of consciousness, There was only so many times he could escape death.
So as Teri escaped from his grasp, it seemed that he man he met when he was 18 was finally righ-
....The bag! He thought as he fought back from death's embrace and reached into his pocket for the bag.
He undid the string on it, then for once, the empty bag had something in it.
His bloody hands reached in and felt what appeared to be a glass eye.
....No....th-this is.... He thought in disbelief as he examined it in his hands.
The Groves, the weight, the shape, It was what it was.
"....Feng....Shui...Engine!?...." He gasped in surprise.
Tears of joy and blood were shed as he stuck it in his right socket.
It rebooted and soon he began to make out the sky above, all though a red tint, but still, He had vision again.
He felt it power up, enhancing his power level, the pain fading away.
He sat up and gasped, his wounds hurt, sure, but he was now able to get back in the fight.
He picked himself up off the ground, looking at the bag still in his hand.

"...Like Magic....Heh...." He said as he stared at Puce.
"Puce, Listen to me, That...Is not Ter-...Melethia?....What happened?..."

So back in the day, Rugal was a OP bastard and I was a shitty RPer back then.
So to depower him, I took away his Feng Shui Engine (AKA His Red Eye)

If you look up the link, It's a Eye that increases ones power level, He fired it up and now has the strength to get a second wind from his stabbing.
So now you know...

Not!Rugal
Despite all his power and his skill, at the end of the day, the efforts of the team working in union with a combined goal soon acting against
By the time he got the dog off, Caim was in the air with his sword drawn and ready to take Not!Rugal's head off.
Despite bring his arm up to block, He soon found his arm cut clean off at the elbow.
This followed by a series of attacks from everyone else soon pacified him:

"...Damm..it....I didn't...even want to be this one......I wanted to be the dragon...." the imposter said to himself as he wobbled a little.

David West
David Nodded as Not!Devon gave his commands.
"Slin, Saya, Don't want to do this. Just Stand down before you force me to do something I don't want to do..." He warned as he pulled his Revolver out and took aim at the Drow and Siren.
For a moment, it seemed like his arm shook a little but he could regained his deadly aim and opened fire, 2 shots towards Slindis's leg and 1 for Saya's shoulder.

Before the whole group was confronted why the clones, the couple RIki & Kud were resting in an area separate from the group. They had thought it was a good idea to set up a tent near a scenic spot overlooking the area, though the clones were not the only problem that were around.

"Riki, is this the tent?" She asked, the two had obviously not had gone camping before in the wild, but they had set up a tent on a hill behind their school so they could test the water rocket they had made for a competition. "Ah yeah, that is it. Doesn't this remind you of that summer?" Riki asked a question back to her, Kud thought for a while but a energetic smile had appeared on her face.

"Ehehe, it does." She lightly chuckled. Riki was making a small fire to cook their food on, but a group of locals were spying upon the younger girl and eventually took action. They slowly crawled out from the foliage near them and gagged Kud, she couldn't say anything as she was scared for her life. The corrupted dark warriors of a nearby collected her in a bag before they jumped off the cliff and into a lake below it. The splash was the only thing Riki could hear.

Rushing towards the cliff the only thing he could see was a group of people running off with a bag. He came to the only conclusion, "Kud!" He yelled after the group. A angry scowl appeared on his face as he pulled out the gun but did not open fire due to the hostage. Riki did the only thing he could, he jumped off the cliff and fell into the lake hoping for the best. The only remains of them were an unopened tent and a small fire.

Riki crawled out of the lake and began to follow the kidnappers which were almost far away, but not too far. The anger from within Riki fueled his goal to get her back, but the tribes goal is the temple itself.

Tomoya stood in the center of the town by a large bonfire, he hugged himself due to the cold as he ate some stew he found in one of the houses. The scythe he had used was good but broke after the last time he used it, yawning Tomoya threw the empty bowl into the bonfire. "This fire smells like chicken!" He yelled out loud. Surprisingly no villagers heard him or came out. Turning around Tomoya could only see the large bonfire made out of all the villagers as they were crackling like burnt chicken.

"Oh... that's right." He chuckled as he looked around at his handicraft. The houses were filled with the blood of their owners and even Tomoya was covered in the red liquid. "Time to move on... maybe a diner?" He laughed as he grabbed the sherif's car keys in his post and left the town quickly because the bonfire was spreading and eventually burning the whole village, leaving no evidence of the slaughter.

The car head south towards the center of America. Rock music started to play as Tomoya equipped a nice pair of sunglasses. "Nice..." He simply said before he sped off on the nearest highway.

"How perfect~"
