Tajuh kept up the condescending tone when he responded to the Author. "And you think that any personal issues I may have would somehow compromise the mission? Unlike some people on the crew, I can set things aside for the larger picture. Now I think you should see your way out of that line of thinking, am I understood?" The man walked back to the majority of the crew before the asian had a chance to respond and began unpacking the equipment that had been dropped for them, setting up the field tents and placing sleeping bags in each one.

Melethia stayed unconscious on the ground as the young girl's mind proved incredibly difficult to access. It seemed she didn't want any contact from the outside world.

[hr]

The man leapt like a cat to avoid getting the water on him, but some of it ended up splashing him on the leg. Nothing big for most people, but Puce could see that the de facto leader of the Rising Dawn was biting his tongue to avoid saying anything. As a matter of fact, all of his muscles were tensed up and his face was a mix of anger and pain.

"Kokoa... What are you doing? I feel funny... Drink and gain your strength so you can fight. I'll support, I am not a fighter like the rest of you all..."

As Kokoa and Jake shared a moment, Akane looked at Aftan.
"The Shadow Realm? Do you think we would be best to ask now, get it over and buried again? I don't want to hurt her again..." She said as she grabbed Aftan's arm and held it tight to her chest, holding Aftan close to her by extension.

It seemed that Akane had a more physical attachment to loosing her Knights now...

Drop Group #2: Caim | Devon | Ella | Kalastryn | Kurumu | Kyre | Mark | Melethia | Puce | Rugal | Tajuh | Teri

As the program started booting up, Mark could hear Melethia's faint voice from the program. [sub][sub][sub][sub][sub]"goawaygoawaygoawaygoaway[/sub][/sub]goawaygoaway[/sub]goawaygoaway[/sub]goawaygoaway[/sub]goawaygoawaygoawaygoawayGOAWAY!"

Yup, she really didn't want someone in, but the fact that her voice could be heard meant that the program was working.

[hr]

Tajuh held his tongue as he slowly walked under his own power towards one of the tents. "...I'm fine, Puce, just had an old war flashback...." The man's voice was rough, and the reaction from just a half-cupful of water was more than odd.

Drop Group #2: Caim | Devon | Ella | Kalastryn | Kurumu | Kyre | Mark | Melethia | Puce | Rugal | Tajuh | Teri

It gets eerily silent as the program accesses the girl's mind, and it forms into a small, reasonably furnished hallway with doors all around. It seemed safe enough, but Mark knew from the RP that the girl was a master mechanic. It would be stupid to guess that this representation of her mind wouldn't have traps in it.

[hr]

Tajuh slowly sat down on the sleeping bag inside the tent. "Well, there's going to be pursuit. I can guarantee it. If possible, I was going to see if we could have multiple decoys set up amongst the whole group, two for each man besides the one holding the actual stone. To ensure that nobody could pick it out, perhaps have everyone think they have the real stone and a backup. Part of this plan relies on you, but it's a matter of you forming the stones. The thought is that everyone believes they have the real one. Only the two of us would know exactly who has it, but it wouldn't be one of us holding it." He pointed to the ground next to him, implying he wanted Puce to sit next to him.

"And we won't fail. It's not a matter of arrogance, it's that we can't afford to have that option lingering in our heads when we're in there. Your thoughts?"

Kokoa felt Jake sit up a bit and wrap his arms around her, seemingly cradling her as he shifted his position to make it comfortable for both of them as Kokoa finished injecting Jake and started sucking, quite greedily. She hadn't fed in some days, aside from the small snack Kala had given to her so she could heal up.

Jake whispered into her ear, "Oh wow holy crap that feels ...different... But I ain't gonna complain. heh, do you think we should have perhaps had a little chat about how close I do seem to be getting to your little threesome? Heh heh...regardless, you should at least speak to the pair about it, even if to say, 'not now.'"

The area shifted slightly to become much more aged with flaking paintings, frayed rugs, and rats scuttling around the area. As he tried to continue on, the silence was pierced with a young voice booming out with one word.

"leave."

Upon that one word, a multitude of elves brandishing scimitars poured out of the rooms and went to surround the author.

[hr]

Tajuh nodded. "Puce, they'll get here. Call me optimistic, but they've got what it takes. Rugal's a good point, but he's a prideful man. He won't want that power because it would mean admitting that he needs that to make his position secure, and bowing down to that again would be repulsive to him as a self-made man. I do realize this plan is still in the works, but no plan survives first contact with the enemy."

The author was panicked, causing the shots from his dominant hand to go astray, but his offhand shots got a good number of the elves which fell, some of them rising back up back up as undead. The large group continued to surround the author, almost getting close enough to attack him with the extremely keen blades.

"get out."

As the author backed up while firing on the elves, he felt the floor shift underneath him. But could he react in time to whatever was going to happen?

Code:

Mark has to roll against a 9 to avoid whatever he just set off

[hr]

Tajuh rubbed his chin, thinking for a second. "We should leave those who would work better in wide areas to guard the rear. Having them inside the tunnels would do more harm than good, and if they hold in the entrance, they could only have to focus on what was in front of them. You know more than I do about the team's combat styles, so which ones would work best for that scenario?"

He could understand Puce's distrust of Rugal, but a man that had built up a crime syndicate like he had, especially if he wasn't afraid to dirty his own hands, had to have immense pride in their skills. It may have been a hunch, but it felt pretty obvious to him that taking those powers for himself would mean that the so-called King of Fighters would have to swallow an immense amount of pride. Taking that into consideration, it was fairly clear to him.

[hr]

Devon sat underneath the tree with Teri and looked up at the sky. "You know, if it weren't for the stuff that was going on here, it would be pretty nice here. Don't you think?"

The shots from his dominant hand veered off-course, only managing to graze some of the undead. His offhand shots had a bit more accuracy though, killing some of the elves with some in their number rising as undead again. In addition, Mark's plan worked somewhat: some of the undead fell into the pit, but the undead that saw this made sure to move around the pit as the first of the elves went in and slashed at the author with their blades.

You see, there was one thing Melethia never really mentioned to people on the Rising Dawn about the undead in the Black Loch which was quickly becoming relevant here: they were intelligent.

"i don't want help. go away."

Code:

Mark has to beat a 11 to avoid the first attack.

[hr]

Tajuh nodded. "I'll keep that in mind, but we'll have to see what happens when we get there. We might need everyone in there for this operation, but I've got the feeling one of those illusions could help act as a watch when we're inside."

David West Vs. Tribals
David watched Elena's attempts to down one of the tribal.
"Oh goddammit, It's one of THOSE fights. GREY MATTER PEOPLE, JUST PRETEND THEY'RE ZOMBIES!" He shouted to the others as he began picking off several incoming warriors with keen shots to the face and "Though and though" shots.
He managed to keep the aggro on him for the most part, shouting insults to the tribe's finest before head-shooting them.
Despite his efforts though, he found himself being forced back by advancing tribals.
"Elena!....Little help?!" He asked as he reloaded while they got into striking distance.

Drop Group #3: David | Elena | Kud | Riki | Saya | Slindis
David quickly made a break for it as lead rained down on the tribals in front of him.
He used the opening to get some distance between him and the half naked killer locals before resuming his gunfire, killing and crippling a large number of the enemy.
See how they like this... He thought evilly as he switched to Blast rounds before taking aim.
He pulled the trigger and watched as his former targets ceased to exist thanks to the wonders of explodions.
He gave Elena a wave of thanks before making his way into the village, hoping to find Kud.

[hr]

Tajuh saw the wisdom in Puce's words and nodded. "I'll discuss the arrangements when we reunite so everyone's on the same page, but your insights into the group have been quite helpful. Bernstein's ability to heal people, even if it should prove to be temporary, could aid with the rearguard, so I will bring up that point with him."

His command style out on the battlefield was certainly unusual, but it seemed to be suited for a group like the Rising Dawn's: find your men's strengths, give them an eventual goal, and find a way to have them work at their best while ensuring the target's achieved. It was clear to Puce that Tajuh had worked with similar groups before.

[hr]

Drop Group #3: David | Elena | Kud | Riki | Saya | Slindis

As the main fight continued in the far side of the encampment, she saw something unusual for the area: shoeprints. [color=c20000]It could be one of the children, so I'd better follow this trail.[/color] The fighting did much to allow her to move through the camp unhindered.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 15, 2013

David West
As Slindis moved around the village, she ended up sneaking alongside the "Town Square" of sorts.
As a result, She managed to catch a glimpse of David cutting down the ranks of the locals, having picked up a spear to accompany his M500.
His aim was deadly and always on the mark, even seemingly random shots into the sky ended up embedded in the skulls of would be attackers.
While he was ensuring most of the attention was taken off her, there was still a larger population then any of them had predicted.
"WHADA TOOIE!" someone shouted behind her as a trio who had broken away from the main group discovered the Drow sneaking though the battlefield.

bluecrimson · Jan 15, 2013

Slindis
Slindis looked at the trio and unsheathed her rapiers, taking a moment to evaluate the three, trying to pick out which one in the group was the supporting member. Her experience had drilled into her that one always takes out the support first, and she had to find that out before launching any attacks.

Devon | Teri

Teri nodded, [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"Very true. I kind of like it here; aside from all the fierce fauna roaming about..."

[/color]

She continued writing for a moment, and then she looked to Devon, [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"I suggest standing back. I've a call to make, and the Ladies do not like to be interrupted..."

[/color]

Devon did as asked with confusion, and watched as three bowls of red liquid (probably wine), three red camellias, and three vials of a red powder appeared on the ground before her. Following that, Devon noticed that the smell of flowers filled the air with an unearthly perfume, and a small, warm breeze blew through the desolate forest. Another moment passed, and Three women appeared; A maiden, a middle aged woman and a crone. The three looked at the girl before them, and Teri gave a light bow, [color=0E59E4]

Code:

"Greetings, Ladies. I do hope this wasn't terribly inconvenient? If you recall, I had a request to make?"

[/color]

Rugal

As Rugal trudged through the woods, he noticed the smell of flowers fill the air... Flowers? In this place? Something wasn't quite right... Following the scent (it was a strong one), Rugal found the two Writers beseeching three women.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 15, 2013

Slindis
2 of the larger warriors charged forward with crude stone blades, slow and mostly blunted, but they tended to just end up hammering their target to death anyway.
The last one followed in tow running alongside his brothers in arms before breaking off to flank the Drow.
He was wielding a spear which gave him the distance advantage but not much else.
One of the blade holders stuck out first, aiming to bash her brains in.

Rugal
*Sniff*....Flowers?....but I though Tomoya...mmmmm... Rugal thought as he followed the scent and found the writers.
"Ah good, thought something happened. While you can handle yourselves, that only works so well against a experienced predator..." He said as he looked at the ensemble.
"....I take it these are those Water Elementals....The ones you used to kill my opposite..." He observed somewhat uneasily.
"...Why do I feel like I'm not going to enjoy this?..."

bluecrimson · Jan 15, 2013

Devon | Teri

Devon looked at the elementals, impressed with the magic. "Would the ladies like to hear a song? He had grabbed one of the sleeping bags from the nearby tent and sat on it while he watched his fellow Author at work.

Slindis

The Paladin sidestepped the attack and stabbed the warrior with one of the rapiers and parried the spear wielder's thrust with some redirection from her offhand rapier. [color=c20000]Where's their backup?[/color]

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 15, 2013

Slindis
As Slindis pondered the back-up question-
"Hey! Jaguar Paw! Your movie sucks and you're an asshole!" David shouted moments before another large Explosive round rendered a tribal to a bloody stump.
[color=c20000]...Oh...[/color] She quickly realised, these men weren't going to get any support.
Back to the fight, The wounded warrior doubled back as the Spear wielder and the other Blade user attempted to attack both at once to try and land a decent hit on the drown, but her armour could easily take it even if she was hit.

bluecrimson · Jan 15, 2013

Slindis
Realizing that there'd be no support, she quickly capitalized on it. [color=c20000]"In the name of Tira!"[/color] The drow's blades seemed to be guided by an outside influence as she lunged forward with both blades, maiming the blade user with her Smite. The spear wielder fund that his weapon was about as useful as a club for how much damage it failed to deal to the woman's armor, though.

Diablo1099_v1legacy · Jan 15, 2013

Slindis
The second blade runner (XD) went down rather easily thanks to Slin's Smite, trashing in pain before going still and dying.
The Spear user still found it hard to believe that his spear was doing next to no damage to the drow and rather stupidly kept trying to stab her in the back, breaking it in the process.
So he decided to just attempted to grapple her and hopefully the other blade user could hit her.
The Corruption that infected them all made them stronger then most humans as shown by Elena unloading a whole .45 clip into one before he went down.
