andres ♔ are we wrapped in black paranoia

[koraith]

♬ wood - second person

WHO || Koraith, Tia Ellison, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Jackson Whittemore, Gold, Belle, Grimrot, Dovan Ironsides, Miles Cuivre, Jaina Solo, Penelope Sariel, David Levin, Davin, Derek Hale, Richard Riddick
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked to contact the residents of the Shadow Village on Andres Isle, recruit those who are willing to aid them, and protect the others from harm
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups tasked to deal with the denizens of the Shadow Village arrive on the bank of the river that bisects the capitol city of Andres in half.  The river slopes down from the woods and city around it, meaning that they're afforded a bit of concealment here, unless anyone stood at the top and looked down.  At this hour of the night, however, there's no one around.   Dovan grumbles a bit about 'blasted magic' as they shake off the disorienting sense of vertigo, while Koraith waits for Belle to confirm they've arrived in the right place.  She pats Gold on the arm as she pulls out her phone, and moments later, she nods to the others in confirmation.

The water laps gently nearby against the rocks, and in the distance, a bridge is visible that links the segregated Shadow village with its thatched roof houses, to the city proper, which seems lined with wealthy manor homes.  ]

[ once their nimblewright goes down, kali cranes her head to look around and rushes off toward the next group. that doesn't seem to be doing not incredibly well. davin, you're all impaled and stuff.

since davin is actually impaled she ignores that one because she imagines her form of melee won't do any favors with that wound and david can just chop it's head off with his sword! so she heads for dovan and kicks one of the nimblewrights attacking him in the face. (atk 32, dmg 15) ]

[generaldavideus]

[This is very true, David can do that. In fact, he's going to follow right after her but since Nyna has got that covered he's going to head over and help out with Matt's, slicing at it quickly to get it's attention (attack 24, damage 10). He glances over briefly to where Indra is lying before tipping his head towards her while addressing Matt.]

I'll cover you. See if you can get her back to one of the clerics.

[byrned]

[ Matt's kind of not so great at this whole swording thing, so he's more than okay with doing something with less swording. He moves to Indira and wraps an arm around her, lifting her with ease and then some (srs nat 20 on this lifting thing, he is man hear him roar) ]

Hey come on, I've got you. Let's get you somewhere.

[undealt]

[Gold's spot check was absolute BULLSHIT, so he's so focused on murdering the remaining nimblewrights, he can't focus on anything else. Not the people dying down below, not Belle beside him. Nothing but getting this over with as soon as possible. He's put the guilt out of his mind so efficiently that all he cares about is the power and the magic
So he throws three more burning arcs at his three stunned targets. (dmg 27, 13, and 7- Same reflex saves as before.]

[ gold's spell burns two of the nimblewrights up entirely, and leaves the other one still stunned, and almost destroyed. belle, however, looks back and forth from the charred remains to the expression on gold's face with growing concern. ] Auric...

[ she's not certain what more to say, how to articulate what's bothering her or what she wishes of him. he's stopping the villains from killing more of their friends, isn't he? he's using his powers to save innocent lives. but as she watches him, she seems to see something else there, and it's enough to stop her from trying to shoot down into the fray anymore, but rather try to get through to him. (diplomacy 25) ] There are others coming now. It's too dangerous. [ as more of their own spill into the fray, she starts to be concerned, after all, about what a stray lightning bolt or fireball could do in terms of collateral damage. ]

[ dovan hacks into the one that kali just put a dent in (atk 45, dmg 24), dismantling it, moving onto the next (atk 26/21/16), missing as his arm tires (dmg ... 61 tho), taking that one down too. his axe swings around in a cleave (atk 31, dmg 19) to take down another, and then all that's left is the one gold has stunned and burning thirty feet away. ]

[ davin is done biting these robot fuckers. he just jumps that way to kick it in the chest, but even stunned, it's too fast for his foot :( ]

4/4

[silverguardian]

[ nyna charges it with her greatsword (atk 21, dmg 12) ... and that ends that.

the army lies broken around them. but so do... some of their teammates.

[undealt]

[Belle's words snap Gold out of some dark place and he finally comes back to reality, blinking at the sight of the charred remains of the soldiers and the bloody mess that's on the ground below them. He staggers back a bit, gripping his cane for support.]

I-I don't know what came over me.

[Well, it was probably POWER. ULTIMATE POWER. But thanks to Wheatley, he's not 100% bullshitting. It just felt natural, even with everything else. He breathes a sigh that's halfway between relieved and anxious.] I think it's over now.

[generaldavideus]

[David looks up once the last of them falls, sheathing his sword and glancing over the field to see where things lay. His eyes land on Riddick and he makes his way closer, examining the body, but it doesn't take much for him to determine that the man is dead (wisdom 14).

His fingers reach up, using two fingers to gently close his eyes, before reaching forward to pick him up and take him inside, though it takes him a moment to heft him properly (strength 13, 17).]

[godblessyou]

[Taradiddle comes trying hard to look more confident than she feels (bluff 14).]

Cleric is here! Who's closest to death?

[silverguardian]

They've all been taken inside. [ nyna wipes blood off her ancestral blade, and tosses hair out of her eyes, eyeing the halfling and nodding towards the doors. ] I think it may be too late, for some.

[untethered]

[ belle does a passable job of disguising the concern in her eyes (bluff... 13 ahaha), sort of. her fingers linger on his sleeve, turning him gently towards her, as she quietly urges: ] We should ... should go inside, with the others.

[godblessyou]

Well, too late doesn't mean as much as it used to, right? Right mix of super strength magic and you can zap 'em right back to life, easy as pie! [Not so helpful when Taradiddle is way too low level to do any of that. She shakes her head and keeps moving.] I'll just... go heal up the not dead ones for now.

[undealt]

[Gold nods at Belle, still stunned, and just barely seeing the concern (sense motive 14). He swallows hard and takes her hand] Indeed... We should hear from the rest of the knights soon.

[ironsides]

Ay, lass. There's one of these island folks who took a nasty fall at the start. [ dovan sadly pulls open the temple door for them to head on in, glancing back over his shoulder at the group. ]
