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

[Orinon]

Dillon was forced to his knees from the Dark Blade cutting at his side he placed his hand over the wound; the negative energy in the blade was like an electrical shock to his body. He gritted his teeth trying to suppress a scream.
He then noticed something was wrong he looked at his hand and the wound.
"Blood?"
His blood was spilling from the gash, normally this wouldn?t be a shock but it was to Dillon, Excalibur had many properties and one of them was in the scabbard as long as one had the scabbard, which he did, the legend stated you would ever bleed.
Dillon had learned small cuts would bleed a bit like the one on his forehead, however such a large Gash shouldn?t be bleeding so rapidly, that's when he realized how dangerous the negative energy in the blade was it somehow was overpowering the magic of the Scabbard, he clutched at his side and tried to move away. he slumped intpo a corner, his winmgs forming a protective barrier around him. he couldn;t fight, not with that gash, he groaned in pain.
A small irony was he caught the blade in the supposedly missing rib, the one that (as he had been told a long time ago) all human males lost during the creation of eve.

[HEADING=3]If you have any questions, please ask! The system my characters were pulled from has a decent amount of documentation involved, but I can explain it fairly easily.[/HEADING]

Melethia's character sheet.

Spoiler: Appearance

This slim twelve-year old elven girl stands about 4'3" and has shoulder-length green hair, purple eyes, multiple pouches tied to a belt around her hip. Long green tunic concealing a breastplate underneath as well.

Spoiler: Personality

Melethia's fairly cheerful, but her time around pirates and mercenaries has given her an unusual amount of cheer when she's in combat or setting up an ambush. Loves seeing new types of metal, and two of her pouches are dedicated to various types of scrap metals. However, she can be unusually stubborn, and attacking those close to her is the last mistake one can make.

Spoiler: Talents and abilities

Excellent mechanic and craftsman, clever mind, experienced sailor, good tracker, capable combatant and marksman, can tend to other's injuries in a pinch.

Spoiler: Weaknesses

Will drop whatever she's doing to help someone close to her, even at her own peril. Somewhat naive, and can be overwhelmed like any other person. Due to her Deathmark, she is also highly uncomfortable around Positive Energy fields.

Improved Wild Emphathy: 3 per day, save of 15 (10 Ranger levels + 5 from Charisma)

Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6+3 (Applies whenever she's flanking something or is attacking something not focusing on her. Due to Precision, anything normally immune to sneak attacks through being immune to critical hits has a 25% chance to suffer Sneak Attack Damage)

Spoiler: Feats and Dragonmark info (One Feat every three levels, 1 from fighter levels, TWF Feats and Bow Feats autogranted through Ranger levels.)

Basic/Improved Two Weapon Fighting: 70% chance to produce an offhand attack with every normal attack.

Dragonmark of Death: Every 4 rounds, Melethia can drain health from either one person or a group of enemies and transfer it over to allies as added health.

Dodge/Mobility/Spring Attack: 7% Dodge, loses no accuracy when attacking someone on while she's moving.

Force of Personality: You have cultivated an unshakable belief in your self-worth. You add your Charisma modifier (instead of your Wisdom modifier) to Will saves.

Favored Enemy: Gained at Ranger level 1, 5, 10. Melethia can choose to specialize in attacking a few subsets of enemies granting bonuses on fighting them. Her Favored Enemies are Undead, Elves, and Lawful Outsiders, and the damage bonus on all of them is +6 before enhancements.

Evasion: Autogained at Rogue Level 2, saving against a Reflex based save means she completely ignores the effect.

Improved Critical: Slashing - Melethia is skilled in the use of slashing weapons and has a better chance of delivering blows to vital areas.

Diehard: Granted by taking three levels in Ranger, Melethia will automatically stabilize when incapicated.

Rapid Shot: Gained through Ranger level 2, it allows Melethia to fire ranged attacks faster.

Bow Strength: Melethia adds her Strength modifier to bow damage. Granted from taking one level in Ranger.

Precise Shot: Melethia's targeted ranged attacks pass through friend and foe alike to strike her target (no damage will be done other than to your target). This feat also grants her the Offensive Ranged Stance Archer's Focus, which lets her deal progressively more damage with ranged attacks while standing still.

-Archer's Focus: While stationary, you gain Archer's Focus: Up to once every 6 seconds, you gain +6% competence bonus to missile damage. This effect can stack up to 5 times (for a total of +30% damage). Moving or using the Manyshot ability clears the stack. The stacks decay at a rate of one per 5 seconds while not attacking.

Improved Wild Empathy: Granted from one level in Ranger, Melethia can charm an animal's or beast. The ranger's wild empathy check result is equal to 1d20 + ranger level + Charisma bonus. A successful Will save (DC equal to wild empathy check result) negates. To use improved wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. She can also use this ability to influence a Magical Beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a ?4 penalty on the check.

Manyshot: Granted by taking 6 levels in Ranger, this feat allows Melethia to fire multiple arrows with every bow attack he makes for the next 20 seconds. The number of arrows depend on the character's base attack bonus: +12 means three arrows per attack. 2 minute cooldown in between uses.

Sneak Attack: Gained at Rogue level 1, Melethia can deal additional damage to targets whose attention is focused elsewhere or those that can't see her. For ranged attacks, Melethia has to be within 15 meters to deal sneak attack damage. The amount of damage increases with the amount of Rogue Levels she has or anything else increasing Sneak attack damage.

Immunity to sleep: All elves are naturally immune to all magical sleep effects.

"Dillon! Teri, get over to him, I'll cover you!"

With that, Angelus' flames burned brighter, and with the grit of her teeth; she made a wall of flame between their enemy and the Cleric's mount. Garm quickly wandered to Dillon's side, and stood guard as Teri began to prepare her treatment, the healing aura making the presence of the Dark Excalibur duller by comparison.

Teri casts Cure Serious Wounds on Dillon, healing for 30 points of damage! 12 seconds before the next 3rd level spell can be cast...

After Teri cast the spell, she shimmied up the wolf's side again, and yelled to Angelus, [color=0E59E4]

"He's good! You can drop it, Angie!"

[/color]

An audible sigh of relief escaped from the dragon as the fire wall was dropped, but it didn't look like the forces were terribly affected by it. However, the wall was intended to repel more than harm; so that was fine in the dragon's eyes. However, it still took quite a bit of effort to keep that up, something the dragon would make certain to note if asked. Following the drop in the wall, she backed up a little to gather herself, and Garm readied his fangs for another assault, his pup already chanting up another spell....

Teri makes a concentration check at a DC 12 to cast Spiritual Weapon! She rolls a 24! DAYUM GIRL! It will be 24 seconds before Teri can cast another 2nd Level Spell.

Team Dark Tomoya

Caim gave a nod of thanks to Tajuh for his support, and continued ducking and weaving around the various chunks of ceiling who didn't appreciate him being three dimensional. As he did so, he 'sent' his congratulation and support to the Cuties who were managing to harm Tomoya, given that most were being detained by tentacles or falling ceiling blocks.

Speaking of said Cuties; Ton Ton had shimmied up Tomoya's leg in all the fuss, and noticed that the glowing spots on Tomoya were probably a good indicator of where to hit. Thus, upon coming to one such spot, he made it his personal business to begin stabbing the Angel's glowing leg spot as many times as he could before being thrown off.

Cadolbolg, on the other hand, tried to latch himself to Tomoya's face, in an attempt to rob those glowing eyes of their visibility. Whether that'd work out, was up in the air.

"WHAT PART OF DIE DID YOU NOT ALL UNDERSTAND!? IS THE PART WHERE YOU STOP LIVING?! IS THAT IT!? THAT'S THE EASY PART! LET ME SHOW YOU!"

Fionn began to dodge the slabs of nutritious ship bridge as they each fell, hopping around in random directions. He kept loading Sandy while avoiding one of the more humiliating deaths you can have, noting The Fallen Angel's attack patterns. While extremely erratic, he was repeating himself, or Fionn hoped. This trick hinged on a shot in the dark.



He leaped back and cocked Sandy, now fully loaded. "Sorry, my German is rusty, I don't fully know how to 'The' something", he quipped as he raised the shotgun to his shoulder. Tomoya reacted to this taunt in the usual fashion, bringing down a large area of the roof to flatten Fionn. As I hoped. He sprinted forward at the Angel, a white glow running down the barrels of his gun. Tomoya attempted to swat him aside with a pair of tentacles, thinking Fionn was an idiot for trying to charge him. Fionn then proved the contrary by sliding below the angel, unloading Sandy (now enchanted with Blizarra) into him.

Dillon gave a weak smile. he was pale, his hair had returned to being Dirty blonde, his face was even patched up from the healinbg spell.
he stood up ut stumbled a bit before steadying himself.
he picked up his blades
"Allright I'm not fooling around anymore." he said he took a deep breath and let out a feral scream
the others could see his soul a glowing blue ball of light near his heart a golden ball was inside Excalibur, but the blue soul was expanding
the golden soul was along the surface reinforcing it.
The glow on his wings and Excalibur became harsh to look at though oddly while the Elites (who were aligned to evil) found it nearly blinding, but charcters liek Teri and Slindis (who weren't good but were close) found the light was very harsh to their unworthy eyes. Dillon looked for the closest target, he found another Elite he moved swiflty to swift to be seen, and thrust his blades into the elites shoulder, he found the right spot where there was an opening in the armour. the Elite wqas about to scream in pain when dillon Swung red fear and decapitated teh ELite, another Elite made to attack him from behind but dillon perfomred a backflip and kicked the Elite from behind knocking him over. he sheathed red Fear holding the glowing excalibur in both hands he got ready to plunge it into the elties heart.
"To hell with you." he screamed and plunged it deep into the Knights armour. The blade was hot burning the through the armour and scorching the flesh the Elite was fortunate to die quickly.
Dillon looked around he imagined eyes of the other heroes were gazing at him judging him.

Team Shaun Demon Shaun

Lupito dragged the badly bleeding Shaun over to where Devon was, and the Bard looked the man over while the fight raged. This Author had been the main reason that Tomoya was created and therefore an indirect cause of all that had happened. It would be easy to just let him die from him bleeding out, and it might also get rid of Tomoya in the same sweep, saving everyone a lot of trouble.

Still, that would be the easy way out, and a look down at the haggard Author reminded Devon that at any point, he could have turned up just like him. Besides, he hadn't had the cleanest past when it involved what had eventually come from what happened with Eberron, and yet the people that he had created had forgiven him mostly when they had no right to. Keeping that in mind, he tried straining to access some of his magic... only to find that he couldn't quite access it. Apparently summoning up a large amount of magical equipment wore someone out.

Well, nuts.

Meanwhile, as Melethia fought, she radiated a large amount of negative energy which was focused on one of Dark Shaun's guards, sapping the man's energy quickly and spreading to rejuvenate the group. It could possibly make those attuned to positive energy immediately curious, but the transfer of energy has an odd synergy with the Magical Healing Teri was using.

Team Dark Tomoya

Slindis went and rolled to the side of a few of the dropped slabs then looked around at the electronics in the room as an idea formed in her head. Immediately acting on it, she moved over to one of the computers filled with electronics and waited there just long enough for Tomoya to drop a slab from above her. A quick dodge was enough for her to get out of the way as Tomoya pulverized one of the computers.

Closer to Caim, Tajuh dodged another one of the slams and sliced the block as it went back up, then responded to Tomoya's threat. "Fionn, most Archangels are supposed to be smarter. At least they're supposed to be fluent in all languages, but there are exceptions to every group. Then again, it could be Affirmative Action at work."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Team Shaun Demon Shaun

The Elites were warded off by the Fire Wall set up by Angelus, This ensured that they were all in close quarters when Dillon attacked, ensuring max damage.
As Dillon glanced back, Devon saw the last standing Elite raise his sword to kill Dillon.
Until Melethia used her Deathmark to drain his life energy, causing him to go from killer to killed, slowly resulting in him becoming light headed to fainted to dead.

Watching his men all fall like flies, the Demon Author rushed in to attack, allowing Teri's Spiritual Weapon to get stuck his shoulder.
"GAH!...SCREW! YOU! PEOPLE!" He shouted as tried to get the weapon out with no success.

Panting from the pain of getting stabbed, he pulled out a cell phone and began to text in:

And then, the turrets came on...

"Lets see you dodge this!"
On Cue, 5 gun turrets spawned on the roof and opened fire at the group below to the tune of Demonic Laughter as he worked on dislodging the weapon.

Team Dark Tomoya

As Tomoya focused on trying to smash the group, Huge bolts of pain shot up his leg as Ton Ton used his EXTREMELY sharp knife on one of his weak spots as Cadolbolg made like a Facehugger and...Hugged his Face(???).
Either way, the crushers were silenced as Tomoya let go of the ceiling.
However, large chunks of the ceiling began to fall, namely over Riki and Kud.
Hugging each other as their fate was sealed, Storm stepped in and shouted "ALPHA! ARMOR LOCK!"
He covered the children as his armor froze into place before the roof fell.
A few moments later, Storm lifted off the rumble before adding "GET OUT OF HERE! IT'S NOT SAFE!" to the un-harmed, though slightly dirtied children before returning to the fight.

Back with Tomoya, he managed to pull Cadolbolg off his face, resulting in him biting his fingers.
"I HATE TURTLES!" He shouted before sending millions of volts though his body, blasting him back and causing Ton Ton's grip to loosen from his partners pain, allowing Tomoya to dislodge him and bicycle kick him away.
"HE SHOOTS! AND HE S-"
"And he scores!" Fionn finished as he unloaded freeze shots into Tomoya's face from below, causing his surprised expression to be frozen on his face for a moment until he broke off the ice.
"ackkkk...HEY! WHERE YOU GOING!?" Tomoya shouted as he emitted a Charge into the metal floor he was sliding on, turning it into a massive electromagnet, sticking the Gunner in place.

He laughed then touched his ear like a News Reporter "HAHAHA! OH Wait! This just in! LIGHTING STORMS HEADING YOUR WAY!"
He funneled lighting into the Lighting Fixtures in the roof, blowing the bulbs all over the bridge and setting up countless points for him to shock everyone, if they were under a light, there was a chance to get shocked.
While there wasn't that many lift thanks to his Whack a Mole Games, It did limit movement and made reaching him even harder.

Rugal meanwhile had climbed out of the computer he was sl-
"AH AH AH!" the Dark Angel shouted before striking him down with a bolt lighting, keeping him down.
"You sit there in the corner and think about what you did while the Adults are killing each other, Okay?...Awesome."

 

[bluerocker]

Team Shaun Demon Shaun

As the group began hiding behind various bits of debris to avoid the turrets; Angelus began shooting concentrated shots of fire at the turrets in an attempt to dismantle them; already feeling the magical energies within her preparing themselves. If she could hold out for a little longer; she could dismantle all the irritants in one feel swoop.

In the meantime, Teri told her Spiritual Weapon to keep doing it's thing against the demonic Shaun; sweat shining faintly on her brow. Things were beginning to take their toll after such a long night of emotional turmoil, spell casting and Authoring. But she could not quit now! Teri gritted her teeth as fingers began flying over tablet keys, calling up a small well of her energy (much more manageable than that incident with the darts) to enact her Author powers in the world:

[color=0E59E4]4 light healing potions appeared, one to each of the Cleric's conscious, humanoid, allies. Drink up! They'll make you feel a bit better.[/color]

and was able to deposit 4 small potions into the hands of Devon, Angelus, Melethia, and Dillon; each of the bottles having a small label entailing what the potion could do.

Team Dark Tomoya

"NNNNGGGGAAAAAAAHHH!!!"
[color=15650D]"Ooof!"[/color]

The Cuties were flung far from Tomoya's grasp; and both hit the floor with a hard THUMP! elicting another groan of pain from both pact partners. Tomoya's concentrated shock on Cadolbolg, which would have normally been deadly, had instead drained him of what magical protection he had from lightning. That didn't make the rest of the attack hurt less for the both of them, nor the fall any easier.

As Ton Ton wobbled, and collected his Knife and his Lantern; he called out to his partner, [color=15650D]"You hanging in there, buddy?"[/color]

Cadolbolg nodded and shakily pulled himself off the floor, "Yeah, just got smarted a little..."

That was when he noticed his pact partner was poised in a strange stance, black shadows beginning to lick from his lantern and being absorbed into the knife; making the blade look crueler and more sinister than normal. Before Cadolbolg could ask properly what his friend was doing, he felt Ton Ton's 'voice' tug at his mind; and a quick explanation of the Chef's Knife was dropped in, as well as it's limitations,

[color=15650D]"It'll be potent, but I'll only be able to sit here while it charges. Can you make sure Tomoya doesn't hit me in the meantime; and after that, give me a lift?"[/color]

Cadolbolg gave a determined nod, and helped Ton Ton back onto his back. Following that, he waited for the Tonberry's signal to move.

---

Now Caim, in seeing his 'son' and his pact partner thrown across the battlefield, forgot completely that magical enchantments were involved to protect them. He forgot that he would have a general awareness of what was going on in their minds. He forgot that pact partners could communicate with one another mentally. All he did remember in that one moment, was the pure unadulterated rage of a father when his brood was struck down.

Swapping to the Angel Killer once again; Caim charged towards Tomoya; the aforementioned (and forgotten) enchantments absorbing what lightning damage would have come from the array that Tomoya set up; a bloodcurdling sound pouring out from his mouth as the blade impaled the Former Lightning Archangel in the gut; a sonic blast going forwards in his wake and knocking Tomoya off the blade after it had it's way with his insides.

Melethia noted the ceiling-mounted turrets and switched over to her longbow [http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee403/TajuhDDO/ScreenShot00024_zpsd7023695.jpg], firing volleys of three arrows at the Turrets while moving around and punched through the armoring of one, dealing quite a bit of damage to the internal components.

Melethia activated Manyshot! For the next 20 seconds, she can fire 3 arrows per shot.

Meanwhile, Devon gave some of his potion to Shaun, hoping that it would help stabilize the man. After all, Teri had created it, so it had to help somewhat!

Team Dark Tomoya

Slindis took the opportunity to brush her left arm with her right hand and focused her Ki, condensing it into a single orb as she fired it off at Tomoya. Even if it missed him, it would set him up for Fionn to get some more solid shots in.

Slindis expended 10 Ki to use Lily Petal, projecting a bolt dealing 80-120 + 8-12 dmg per character level to one target. Costs 10 Ki.

Ki left: 88

Tajuh noted that the Cutie Bruisers were up to something, so he did his part to ensure that the attention was kept off them by leaping up and slashing at Tomoya where he could, scoring the legs of the Dark Angel.

Team Shaun Demon Shaun

While they were busy fighting his Turrets, Demon Shaun took the chance to regain his focus a little, between the weapon and summoning the guns, he was starting to get a little weak.
Still, he had enough fight in him to last him another good while and he proved this by texting in:

A Uzi appeared in his hand...

And it was so and he began to unload it at Angelus, spraying and praying from the recoil, but which the amount of lead he was putting out, one of them was BOUND to hit, right?

Melethia meanwhile was able to take down one of the turrets as Angelus took out another, however, this brought her into the cross hairs of the others while Shaun fired at Angelus.

 

[bluerocker]

Team Shaun Demon Shaun

Angelus cried out as her shoulder was grazed by some fire, and she ducked back behind her cover; but not without lobbing a fire ball at the turrets again. With a hiss, Angelus picked a little at her wound to try and get one of the bullets out; only to be rewarded shrapnel for her efforts. She knew for a fact that bullets left in human bodies never ended well; and if Teri's potions were as good as they appeared, then perhaps she could use that to fix some of the ill...

Speaking of the Cleric, she knew things were looking grim; and began typing on her tablet,

[color=0E59E4]And then Dark Shaun's Uzi was promptly corked, rather like a wine bottle; ruining the gun and causing an explosion of confetti the moment the gun jammed! How embarrassing![/color]

When she hit enter, she silently prayed that things would work... Of course, the scream of:

"FUCK!" and seeing confetti fly everywhere was a good sign.

Ton Ton continued concentrating on charging the Chef's Knife; but let his partner know that he could begin taking to the air. Breathing a little heavily, Ton Ton could feel the influx of Karma and Adoration from the Mistress flow into his Knife; after all, the thought of Her was what kept the little creature going.

Dillon looked at Dark Shaun misusing his author powers,
Far off in Canada a young boy read this and had his own ideas forming clever intricate ideas.
However Dillon did get an idea, he ripped out a turret and started to use his iPod to hack into its computer. It took a while he had to shield himself from bullets using his wings but the payoff was worth it.
"ha-ha THIS IS SASHA" he shouted as he aimed the turret at the other turrets he rounds pulverised the others, Dillon had made the Turret fire it's rounds faster and with more force the one danger to this is it would damage the turret, however this weapon was one use only.
"Angelus are you ok?" he asked the Dragoness, he glared up at Dark Shaun.
"Are we sure we shouldn?t destroy him?" he asked not exactly to thrill with this new development.

Warnign this post has NO AFFECT on the plot, and exist for a hypothetical amusment

Spoiler: completely irrelevant

Dillon suddenly found a bright red button it was the Deus Ex Machina button he pushed it and suddenly he was given his Nerf Gun but like his toy katana AA had morphed it into a slightly more appropriate weapon

Spoiler: the gun

Dillon looked at one side of the gun and saw there was something etched onto the gun
"Klatu, berada, Nikto.... wait a second those were the words I chose to summon the-"
Suddenly a strange energy orb appeared and the Termi-dillon made his appearance
"What the hell am I doing here?"
Dillon tackled the robot and another energy orb appeared as they time traveled.
When they reappeared they were in the room where Dillon attacked Rugal.
Dillon had a different idea; the ghost of Samuel L Jackson possessed him.
He dropped down, gun in his hand casually carrying it around hip level.
"Oh umm Dillon, look I just want to explain I know things have been fucked up but I have the best intentions."
Dillon fired his new gun, just as a test, and found it fired a high powered laser.
"Oh I?m sorry did I break your concentration? I didn;t mean to do that,Please continue you were talking about best intentions."
Rugal was unable to respond he wasn?t certain If Dillon had reverted to his insane side.
"Oh you were finished, then allow me to retort.
Describe what I look like"
"What?"
Dillon flew right up into Rugal?s face
"What country you from??"
"What?"
"What ain?t no country I ever heard of do they speak English in what?"
"What?"
"English ************, DO you speak it?"
"YEs"
"SO you know what I'm saying, describe what I look like."
"What?"
"Say what again," he said while aiming his Gun at Rugal?s face
"Say what again I dare you, I double dare you mother fucker, say what one more goddamn time!"
"You?re skinny,"
"Go on!"
"You?re pale"
"DO I look like a *****?"
"......what?"
He fired his gun
"DO.I.LOOK.LIKE. A *****"
"NO"
"Then why?d you try to fuck me like a ***** Rugal?"
"I didn?t-"
"Yes you did, YES YOU DID, You tried to fuck me, and I don?t like to e fucked by anyone except by the Mrs."

The Demon Author was swearing as he landed and showed of his fake but impressive angelic/demonic form. "Are you kidding me!" Dark Shaun said as he looked towards the authors and smiled. "Don't you people have a bad side of your own. Don't you wanna just tear someone's head off and tell them to get out of your life. I do know THAT person lurks in every single one of you!" The evil smirk appeared on his face as he talked hoping to appeal to their dark side.

Hoping to get them thinking, Dark Shaun summoned yet another sword.
A katana which had lightning coiling around it. If anyone could recognize it, it was Tomoya's original sword called "Lightning Cutter" which Riki had on his back at the moment.

Meanwhile for the actual Shaun whom was lying on the ground, the wounds were healing quickly thanks to the other authors and everyone. Though if he moved too much he would bleed once more and the wounds were weird already, glowing bright green and blue. More importantly the mental state of Shaun was much worse.

The infinite blackness in his mind was wiped out by a almost blinding white room appeared in front of him.
A table held four people around it.

A slightly younger version of himself with red eyes. (Dark Shaun)
Tomoya whom was his normal self.
A man similar to Tomoya except a bit older and had wings wrapped with lightning.
A shadow, a thing made out of complete darkness.
And himself.

These were the five kings of the moment.

"What the hell IS this place!" He yelled out and a dark chuckle only responded.
"I know who you are child." rumbled the shadow on the end of the table, who held no shape.
"Tell me ... WHO ARE YOU!"
"I am darkness, a thing made in the eternal void known as Hell."
As the Shadow spoke a angry frown came to Shaun, he had finally known was had taken hold of Tomoya.


Team Tomoya


The former Archangel was getting hit and missed from all sides, though he felt no pain ... only the feeling known as pain. "Why do you resist ... WHY WON'T YOU FEED ME!" The dark version of Tomoya yelled out but to only be attacked by Ton Ton once more. The attack pretty much stabbed him in the hole in his chest, but it had no other effect from the pain and stunning the Dark Demon Prince, allowing him to freeze for a short time.

In the middle of the group was Riki & Kud whom was preparing the last of the spell. Everyone was thankfully protecting them from the incoming attacks of Dark Tomoya, but thanks to Ton Ton the two managed to finish
Suddenly the stone of light had become a bullet
and Riki loaded it into Tomoya's previous magnum (Which they picked up in the Temple) called "Light Seeker".

Spoiler: Light Seeker

(Hopefully that picture got posted, cause I can't see if it worked)

The two were not accustomed to a battle situation still and had sweat on their brow and were rushing.

Angelus gave a weary smile to Dillon as she made another attempt to get the bullets out of her arm, "Thank you Dillon, but I'm alright... As for that mockery of the Author, it seems similar to any enemy we fought in a temple a while ago. That being will only be able to be properly dissipated when it's source, the passed out 'Shaun' over there, comes to grips with it. Until then, all we CAN do is provide cover fire. An annoying process, certainly; but it is what we must do..."

With that, the dragon began throwing more fire at Dark Shaun with her unharmed arm; the rate of fire greatly decreased as a result.

Teri glanced over her covering and directed the Spiritual Weapon to attack once more before it dissipated. Following that, she summoned her Ice Hippogriff once more; hoping that lightning didn't really do anything to ice creatures. As she sent the beast after the Demonic Shaun as a distraction, the Cleric began a hasty move to Angelus' location, Garm covering her from sight as she made her way to the Dragon's side; and began the delicate operation of cleaning out the wound. As she did so, she gave a light shooing motion to Dillon and pointed at Dark Shaun,

[color=0E59E4]

"Keep him distracted while I fix up Angie! The last thing we need is an assault on the wounded. Garm, go with him. You'll be more help with him than me."

The large wolf gave a nod; and looked to Dillon to begin their coordinated attack.

Team Tomoya

After stabbing Tomoya with the Chef's Knife (and stunning the Demon Prince) Ton Ton gave a little laugh [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-2TOPDx8WM&t=0m16s] before letting go of his spot on Tomoya's chest, knowing full well there would be others who would attempt to attack that spot... Like Caim, for example. As he did so, he went back to the leg that he found had the most effectiveness and sent to the mute warrior, [color=15650D]"We're still okay, Mr. Caim. Promise!"[/color]

The mute warrior in question was surprised in seeing the Angel Killer had no better effect than any other blade in his arsenal, and swapped back to his family blade. Following that, he resumed his normal method of dealing with enemies; mainly, ripping and tearing, and had at it with the blade, taking care not to nick the leg Ton Ton had made his perch.

Melethia felt that the battle was shifting and rapidly swapped her Longbow for her acidic kukri and her acidic handaxe after dodging the majority of the rounds, gritting her teeth and ignoring the few rounds that hit even though it was clear that she was bleeding. "Look, if Teri says we have to make them accept each other, then that's what we're going to do. Even if we have to bash their heads in first!" She rolled and slashed at Dark Shaun's legs, getting a notable deep gash in with the handaxe which burned with acid and the sheer power of good.

Devon shook as the energy that Melethia had drained went to revitalize him somewhat. It was still nowhere near what was needed to do any real fighting, but if it came down to it, he could at least defend himself. So, as he regained his energy, he spoke out with a bit more energy even though he was still drained. "It's just like in the Temple... Hopefully we can talk some sense into it, because it won't be going away any other way. Just like Angelus said, you know?"

The rather large wolf that Slindis had sent to keep an eye on them noticed the fatigue that Devon and Teri was experiencing, and he knew that Garm's aid wouldn't be enough. This Dillon might be a bit more trustworthy, but the man had opened hostilities to his pack earlier. A few good actions did not correct a flawed Alpha.

Thus, Lupito let loose with a loud howl for assistance, one that any wolf would recognize immediately as one indicating the pups of the pack were in danger. He knew that unless they could get some reliable aid soon, the group would be worn down through attrition.



Team Tomoya


Tajuh glimpsed out of the corner of his eye and made sure that his feinted slashes along with whatever Caim was planning on doing to give the children the opening they needed, while Slindis stayed close enough to let the young couple get the full benefits of her Aura of Good. At this point, they had the feeling that the tide of this fight was shifting in their favor.

Hadrian ground his teeth as he stared across the seemingly endless field. He tried remembering when and how he got there, but was unable to do so. The least he could remember was helping his comrades fight those wizard truckers, or whatever they were, along with their summoned creatures. After that was just a haze of white. Now, he's standing in the middle of nowhere, with all of his weapons still on him.

"Damn it," He growled. "Where the hell is this place?" He ground his foot on the grass in irritation before coming to a pause. He looked up to the sky, as he heard something. Something akin to a cry for help. But the sound was incredibly faint. He couldn't tell for sure, but it seemed to be coming from above him, and some distance away. Bewildered, he stepped forward, only to find himself tumbling once more through an inky-black abyss.


Team Shaun Demon Shaun
Hadrian managed to right himself the moment he shot out of the portal. He landed on the ground with a loud clang resounding all around the room, signalling everyone to his arrival.

Hadrian raised his head and stared at the occupants of the room, a frown slowly appearing on his face.

"...This again?" He said, sounding mildly annoyed.

Lupito took a deep whiff of the newcomer and smelled the strong scent of a wolf on him as he let began speaking in Lupan. "You're not an ordinary man, even for this group... You've the scent of an Alpha on you. You were the one to respond to the call? Out with it, then. Who are you?" The Dire Wolf, which was larger than any normal hound many in the room had ever seen, moved to put himself in between the newcomer and the exhausted bard still trying to tend to Shaun's injuries the best he could.

To anyone else that had no understandings of how wolves spoke, all that could be heard was a series of intermixed howls, yips, and growls. However, to any that understood the language, the wolf spoke quite well even if his tone was more than a bit stubborn and cautious.

Spoiler: Lupito's appearance

When Hadrian was unceremoniously deposited by the portal to their side, Angelus took a good hard look at Hadrian and sniffed the air, *sniff sniff* "... A werewolf? I know that scent... I have seen you before..."

Teri rolled a 16 on her heal check! While it's not the best job she's done, the bullets will be extracted from Angelus' arm.

Teri looked up from her work with surprise, especially after what Angelus had said about a werewolf. Thinking silently to herself, she sent a silenced command to Dimitri to scan the AA database for any friendly werewolves to the Rising Dawn. When she looked to her Tablet in a mock gesture of checking a medical chart, she saw that Hadrian's name came up; and dismissed the search. As she did so; her 'voice' came through the Tablet, [color=0E59E4]

"A friend of yours, Angie?"

[/color]
"I'm not certain... But he is familiar somehow..."

It was strange to hear a girl's voice come from a machine at her hip rather than her lips, but Hadrian found the little group was guarded by two large wolves, the grey Alpha being flanked by a smaller blackish wolf. The aforementioned black wolf, Garm, gave Hadrian a hard glare instead of going out to fight with Dillon; the scent of a foreign alpha, especially one near his Pup, taking priority over Dark Shaun.

Spoiler: Garm's appearance
