Zachariah let loose the rebar pipe, which would fly for the would-be knight. He then pulled grapeshot arrows and fired 2 at the incoming gems, the arrows would explode shotgun pellets once they reached 20 feet distance from their targets.
Edgar didn't have a shield on him and he couldn't move quite easily, but he did his best to have the shots hit at the thickest part of the chest-plate.
He whipped out his auto-crossbow and shot out 3 bolts at each of the gems.
"That...doesn't answer my questions. How are we impeding you in any way? Your beasts attacked us as I recall, we were doing nothing. And how is attacking perfectly innocent people in any way a war of self-liberation? I would very much like to speak with this King of yours and--" Rozlin was cut off from what she was saying when a laser struck her in the side, burning her quite badly and causing her to shriek in pain. "That was--nngh--uncalled for! I was simply--grr--trying to speak with you!" She shouted, groans of pain splitting up her speech. She drew her pistol and fired several times in retaliation at Pearl-Nail, doing so to off-set the fact that her aim was off due to the pain
Just an FYI, how I'm going to go about major battles will have a Primary and Battle Mastery Objectives. Primary is just what it is. You completed X. Battle Mastery Objectives will be tougher and the more that you guys complete them, the higher the reward, but the more difficult the battles will be.
Also, bosses will have a degree of common sense when getting hit by attacks as they do have AC modifier and defensive roll. Which means that this will be more large scale battles, and even raising the stakes with your own characters as well. Hope this works out correctly. ^_^
The Rebar arrow was partially blocked by Pearl-Nail's evasive movement but it did damage the armor a good amount.
Zachariah's arrows fared less than the rebar arrow as the gems continued their course, albeit scratched and slightly scattered. One of the gems smashed into Zach's stomach like a Heavy-Weight Boxer punching him in the gut before it boosted away.
[hr]
Edgar's arrow fared better as it shattered 3 of the gems.
[hr]
The pistol shots from Rozalin bounced off Pearl-Nail, doing nothing. (That was a 20)
[hr]
Pearl-Nail boosted towards the ground as it's side disks started glowing. Combining them, she flung the now 2 meter in diameter disk at Fenrich. The remaining 3 gems fired at Valvatorez, Royce and Balthier.
OoC: @Rosh, that's fine, I was assuming the burning of a laser would = fire, but it doesn't have to have an attribute
Also, the dice are being reasonably friendly so far
Valvatorez managed to jump out of the way of the lasers, but in doing so rolled onto his fractured shoulder, causing him to stumble in pain, but not enough pain to prevent him from drawing his spear and hurling it at one of the gems
As the huge disk few at Fenrich he reached inside his pocket and removed a handle, which extended into a large, twisted and demonic looking battleaxe, which he attempted to swing down on the disk as he barely managed to clear a jump over it
OoC @Slenn: What armour is Edgar wearing? Mythrill?
Balthier's was one horror when winced when Caesar made a small incision on his cheeck and aplied the musus. He was sure what the sentient virus was planning, but after hearing him speaking of assimilating humanity, Balthier wasn't keen on finding out. He let go of the turret and backed off. "Oh no! Don't you...!" He was interupted by another jabbing pain and slumped over. With his broken rib, standing up straigh alone was painful, let alone walking. Luckely for him, the pain started to recede when Royce started healing him. After being fully healed, Balthier thanked Royce and made a dash for his rifle.
Seeing the Pearl-Nail fire something at him, Balthier dived towards his rifle. By doing so, he largely evaded the beam, though it still grazed past his back. Cursing his luck, Balthier grabbed his rifle almost the moment he landed and fired at the Pearl-Nail.
@Nailik. I assume he's wearing some sort of armor. I guess we could say mythril since he's the king. But I could change it to steel to balance things out.
@Outis: Armor Class Modifier. Or "How hard it is to hit this character" 1's are critical hits. 20s are ineffective attack.
[color=greenyellow2]Hmm.. He didn't attack... How strange. But welcoming. This is my duty, as unfortunate as it is...[/color] Pearl-Nail thought as she saw Royce
[hr]
The gem that Valvatorez hit spun out and crashed into the ground as it flew back and rested on Pearl-Nail's 'wings' (For a lack of a better term)
Fenrich's slash bounced off the disk as it flew back into the air, curled around and smacked Fenrich in the head like a 45 mph 30 lb disk. (Roll of 20 hurts doesn't it?)
[hr]
Balthier's shot pierced into Pearl-Nail as she gripped the wounded area. [color=greenyellow2]"A fair hit!"[/color] she said, as she boosted towards Edgar as its hands manifested a broad sword as she swung a vertical slash at him.
Zachariah collapsed to the ground, muttering something about the last time Maria hit him like that as he passed out
Caesar hocked (spit) acid at the attacking gem, before trying to follow Balthier. "hold up, you shouldn't get your blood pumping-" he then caught his head on the AA gun and collapsed.
OoC Balthier has healing factor, but is feeling a burning in his bones. I'm out for the night, have a good one. Hopefully plot tomorrow
"How dare--nghhh--you continue to ignore me! I am--urgh--P-Princess Rozalin! And I demand answers...you uncouth ruffian!" Rozalin continued to speak with her groans of pain, even starting to stutter. She collapsed to a crouch, but raised her pistol and fired again at Pearl-Nail, mostly as an act of disdain as she had little hope for her shots to actually do anything different from the time before.
Pearl-Nail's sword was blasted out its hands, and took some electrical damage as well, as she spun with the extension wings bashing Edgar back.
[hr]
The gem that Caesar hit partially melted as it flew back to Pearl-Nail and rested as well.
[hr]
Surprisingly, Rozalin's shots pierced into the armor of Pearl-Nail as she boosted back into the air.
[color=greenyellow2]"Perhaps I should use..!"[/color]
[color=00FFF]"Enough Sister."[/color] rang a voice as it echoed able the group. Behind Pearl-Nail manifested a similar looking armor, but instead of the color white, it was black as obsidian.
[color=00FFF]"May I join in this here battle?"[/color]
[color=greenyellow2]"No, I was just about to leave."[/color] Pearl-Fang scoffed and gazed at the group. Spotting Royce she cooed. [color=00FFF]"OOooohhh my! How I would just love to take that one home with me. We could have some reeeaaallllyyy fun times together. Mmmmmhhhhmmmm."[/color]
[color=greenyellow2]"Keep your bizarre fantasies to yourself."[/color] Pearl-Fang ignored her sister and looked at Rozalin. [color=00FFF]"Or even her! OOohhh, I'd just love to tie her up to a bedpost and TORTURE THE HELL OUT OF HER! EHEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"[/color]
Pearl-Nail grabbed her sister and tossed her into the hole in the sky as she disappeared. She turned to the rest of the group. [color=greenyellow2]"You'll pay for getting in our way. Insaraum and the ArkSabre will prevail!"[/color] She yelled before boosting into the hole. [color=greenyellow2]There is hope of resistance... That is good.[/color]
With both Pearl units disappeared, the hole in the sky melded itself and disappeared.
OoC: Fights over, its late and Mission Objective complete (No Battle Mastery)
Valvatorez made his way over to Rozalin, careful not to aggravate his shoulder wound "I think we need some form of certified medical practitioner over here!" he yelled before turning to Rozalin "You're in bad shape lass, would you like a sardine to help the healing process while you wait for a healer?"
Fenrich rubbed the wound in the back of his head, which was bleeding profusely. Wicked claws grew out of his fingers and his eyes began to glow as he felt himself bleeding, he called out to Pearl-Nail "GET BACK HERE *****, I'M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU!"
Balthier groaned upon seeing a mech similar to the one the group had been fighting. He stood up and took aim, but was relieved to find they both retreated. He flung his rifle over his left shoulder and walked to the now onconscious Caesar. Balthier lifted Caesar up, onto his right shoulder and began carrying him towards the Warhammer. Although he wasn't fond of the idea of helping Caesar, but he was still concerned for Bryce. As he walked, Balthier stumbled when he felt as if his bones were burning and almost dropped Caeser.
