slovechnia ♔ hey little sister what have you done

[postergirl]

♬ White Wedding - Billy Idol

WHO || Failboat, Dimitris Sarandis, Amanda Moulet, invited wedding guests, and more [closed]
WHAT || The Knights head to Slovechnia to interrupt Dimitris' wedding to Dumage's sister
WHERE || Flight from London to Slovechnia; Slovechnia
WHEN || Sometime in February
HOW || Actionspam or prose

The morning after, the Knights board a plane at their private airfield, and begin the couple hour flight to the country of Slovechnia.  Wynn has laid out a plan for them as such, leaving Sir Gar in charge of seeing it executed:  they are to send in a few Knights to infiltrate the wedding, while others steal an ambulance from a local hospital.  Using magic to make Sarandis think he's having a heart attack during the ceremony, they will intercept the outgoing call to the paramedics, and pose as them to take him out of there and straight to a private airfield to meet with Wynn.  They're all aware, however, of just how smoothly their plans tend to go where these villains are involved - especially if the Mind Master shows up.  

Either way, it promises to be an interesting day...

[ Buffy comes charging out and slides between the two cop cars to skid behind J. From there, she drops Decker's gun and puts the nonlethal hurt on J (atk 38/36 second hand/27/39 (Crit)/22). The last one whiffs past his face, but the others are altogether pretty brutal (damage 19/14/19/32 crit). If any of that goes overboard for K.O.ing J, she can take a five foot step with cleave and step to Steve's side and lay the rest of it on H. ]

Let us know when Dimitris is off site, so we can get out of here! [ that's said into the comm at least. ]

[recruited]

[ Those were some very sad shots and grapple (strength 20) attempts because Steve comes out of it unscathed. With Buffy laying the smackdown on J and potentially H Steve takes it upon himself to deal with I who has stepped away from him. With his shield on him he throws his shield (atk 33, dmg 14) directly at I. ]

[graveflowers]

[ still running, vi's bow shimmers as she draws it and the invisibility spell is broken. she skids to a stop and lets loose an arrow directly at d, aiming for his hand so he will stop shooting at kat. (heroic surge 3/4; atk 35; dmg 11) ]

1/2

[shootfirst]

[ the arrow goes singing through the air, hitting him in the chest, and kat looks back to see vi - and also steve and buffy kicking ass. she looks over at spike, tackling kitty, hesitates and then says over the comm with audible frustration: ] Sorry about this, Spike! Just get your ass to Myri! [ and she throws both hands up and create a giant wall of flames cutting in front of her, cutting off orange, A, B, C, D, E, Spike, and Kitty from the others. it throws off heat waves that scorch D and gray a bit and then she starts booking it around the front of F's vehicle. ]

[ ♬ kick the chair - megadeth

orange takes a step back up onto the steps, eyes widening in shock at the huge wall of flame now separating him from his buddy. he yanks up a gun and turns to fire after kat as she runs (atk 28, dmg 8 & atk 12), getting her once in the leg. F pushes open his door, staying behind it for some cover as he too fires on the mage (atk 13).

Officer G guns the car forwards abruptly in an attempt to run it into Buffy (drive 16), but she manages to jerk aside to avoid the brunt of the damage and therefore only takes 3. H steps back away from steve, watching him hurtle that shield like shiiiit and then fires at him twice (atk 29/18), one of which pierces through his suit for 14 dmg, catching him in the side. I reels from that shield hit, moving back towards the police car and ripping a grenade off his belt, pulling the pin with his teeth and lobbing it behind buffy (atk 22). it immediately begins emitting a cloud of irritant that fills the eyes with tears, but buffy and steve both manage to resist being blinded (fort saves 28 & 35).

on the other side of the fire wall, C finally gets his door open and tumbles out of his vehicle after D who burst forward, lifting his gun and pointing it at Spike. A, B, and E do the same, rooted in place by the plants, but nevertheless all training their weapons that-a-away.

hearing spike speak in english, officer D speaks in the same language, none of them willing to fire while spike has a 'hostage' gripped in front of him. "We've got more squad cars arriving any moment. The entire block will be locked down. Let the girl go, put your hands up, and turn yourself in, and we will not use further force." (intimidate 21)

kitty grips spike's arm in front of her, but doesn't try to break away, seeming to realize that's a bad idea. she hisses quietly where only spike can hear: ] You know what? Do it. Kill me right here in front of all these people. Let the world see you for the monsters we know you are.

You're only going to make what happens next easier.

[isisagent]

[Archer finally reaches the action, heroic surging to charge up to cop #I and deliver a flaming suckerpunch ATK: 29 / DMG: 21]

[Then he takes a moment to look at the fire wall, hailstorm, viney vines, and tear gas.]

[bigbad]

You wankers haven't landed a single shot!

[Spike's 27 will save just isn't that impressed tbh. But Kitty's words are... annoying. He can't just kill someone who's given up. It seems... cruel. Besides, that what happens next part's a bit alarming.

Not to mention that Kat just made a giant bloody wall of fire. That's convenient for the vampire.]

Bloody hell. [Into his comm he says:] Myri, I'm coming your way. Also I've got a second prisoner, I guess.

[And with that, he'll start dragging Kitty back towards the church, sparing a middle finger for the cops. He'll even use his first heroic surge of the evening to go a little further.]

[slay]

[ Buffy five-foot steps around Steve to get at H. ]

Sorry about this.

[ But not too sorry to ... put him on his ass (atk 33/nat 20, 49 total/38/33/24, nonlethal damage 19/38 crit/15/16/15). ]

[recruited]

[ The bullet puncturing his side really sucks, but it's already being handled. Handle H, Buffy, he's not about to stop you. Once his shield returns Steve is going to vault (tumble 27) over G's squad car to get to F. Because Kat's drawing closer and the last thing they need is for her to get shot anymore. Once he's on his feet Steve hurls his shield once more at F (atk nat 20 with 38 total, 38 penetration dmg). ]

[graveflowers]

[ MORE RUNNING. she's straight up going to the olympics, tbh. sprinting over to kat, she uses her last heroic surge to reach out and grab her arm, the cool, soothing energy flowing forth from her palm healing the wounds kat's been peppered with. (transfer wounds, greater +39 hp) the resulting pain that hits vi makes her wince (20 subdual dmg), but she doesn't falter, raising her bow again. ] You heard Gar, get out of here, I'll cover you! All of you!

1/2

[shootfirst]

Thanks. [ that heals up all of kat's wounds tbh so she looks much better. ] What about you?? [ still, she glances back the way the ambulance chase went and then says: ] Get in the car! [ to anyone who will listen, moving to get inside the open door and start that vehicle up ]

[bonquas]

[ the reason she could do that is that steve's shield? knocked F's head against the side of his car and he passed out from massive dmg, slumping to the ground.

G starts backing up his car up abruptly away from the smoke and fire and scary people... as the tear gas begins to spread. I takes a flaming foot to the head and turns, pulling his tonfa to fight archer, but does it so fast that it goes flying out of his hand (crit fail). he decides to just... swing at him (atk 20) but he's too fast too furious for that.

orange backs further up the steps, firing at vi this time (atk 27, dmg 9; atk 22, dmg 7).

A, B, and E start slowly slogging out of the entangled zone, while C & D go running after Spike at full speed. five more police cars come screaming up the street on this side of the fire, some of them driving straight onto the grass behind him.

gray pops a couple shots at him as he runs, one even hitting (atk 31, dmg 5).

meanwhile, kitty says as spike drags her along: ] You know, that chip we pulled out of you was the missing link we needed all along. That's the way Sarandis finally delivered on what he promised. All those chipped soldiers of his - we have you to thank.

How many of them did you lot kill?

[isisagent]

I don't know what I expected from... Slov-whatever police.

[Archer unloads a fiery full attack into the soon-to-be-ash cop I:]

[Atks: 28/23/19/21/9/20]
[DMG: 23/21/23/15/24/15]

I guess I expected like... Something like this, only maybe a little better? Not like way better, though.

[slay]

Archer! [ He's near enough now that Buffy doesn't feel like Kat and them should ... not include him in their car ride of dreams. So she'll wave him over. ] Get in the damn car! [ And then run over, snatching up Decker's gun on the way with a heroic surge 2/5 if she needs to use an extra move for picking up a gun along the way. She'll climb into the backseat because she just ... knows she belongs in the backseat of police cars tbh. Something about it ~feels right.~ ]

[recruited]

[ Steve isn't about to let Vi go down to cover them. Especially with the only real threat now on their side being Orange. He does head for the car and moves into the passenger seat up front. ] Vi, come on! [ Because Buffy is already yelling for Archer. He climbs into the front seat and pulls his door shut. ]

[graveflowers]

[ crying out as both bullets sink into her, vi shakes her head with a grimace, waving kat on. ] Hello, I'm literally the only one capable of cover fire. Get out of here, I'll catch up!

[ all y'all and your melee specialties. as she rounds on orange, she fires a dangerous volley of hot pink arrows at him, lightning fast. (rapid shot attack 35, 31 crit on 19, 35, + rapid strike attack 23; dmg 6, 33, 11, 9) ]

[shootfirst]

VI, FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK! [ those shots down orange, knocking him right off his feet, and so kat stalls waiting for archer and vi by casting a spell on the car around them that... makes the backseat expand. welcome to the tardis-mobile.

meanwhile, archer just straight up murdered a dude. annnnd here come more sirens screaming up the street on this side. ]

[isisagent]

Damnit, Sloan, don't be a hero!

[Since those shots drop Orange-kun, Archer will sprint to the car, scoop Vi up in his arms, and dive into the back seat. (Blowing a heroic surge if need be).

[slay]

Lay cover fire from inside the car!

[ Gosh, Vi.

Which brings Buffy to rolling down the window and laying down some cover fire at the wheels of the cop cars blocking their way to the east. That shot pretty much involves her sitting up on the window sill of the car because it's on the side of the car opposite her, so. You know. There's that. (atk 27/33/26/10, dmg 8/9/13/4). ]

[recruited]

[ He's happy that Archer comes diving into the car with Vi. He wasn't going to passively sit with her ass hanging out there. Steve takes a moment to look down at the bullet hole in his side. He rests his shield at his feet and fans open the torn EMT shirt to see it better. ]

I hope they're still at the garden. [ He remembers that form over the comms, but he was busy being attacked. ]

[graveflowers]

[ regrettably, vi can't shoot her bow from inside the car, she can't even hold the five foot bow straight and has to leave it resting across the seat as she straightens up from where archer effectively threw her into the car. ] Thanks, Rick Steel.

[ since neither steve nor buffy look that bad, she hesitates on offering a respite from the pain (suck it up, y'all) and draws her excalibur from inside her coveralls, rolling down her own window to follow suit in shooting at the oncoming cars. (rapid shot attack 30, 23, nat 20, 33 total; dmg 10, 10, 22) ]

[shootfirst]

Hold onto your butts. [ meanwhile, kat is gonna floor it... accidentally in reverse (drive 2). straight into that giant wall of fire. oops. this is fine.

anybody with their windows down to fire at shit ... is gonna take 3 fire damage. buffy is going to take 6. ] Oh FUCK! SHIT, SORRY. [ at least vi just slowed down a lot of those approaching cops jesus ]

[isisagent]

Yeah, fire, whatever. [Archer is pretty much immune to fire damage now, he will lean out fully into the wall of flames, summon a Lance of flame, and hurl it towards one of the cop cars (Touch Atk 24/ Dmg 15)]

Fuck tha po-lice!

[behindcloseddoors]

[ well... fuck. that car actually STARTS ON FIRE, so that's amazing. also now that they're poking through the firewall, officers A, B, and D back here raise their weapons at their car. cool. ]

[slay]

[ Buffy weathers the damage because it's ... pretty negligible for her really. She's more irritated about her singed hair than anything else, all fast healing considered. She leans against the car to guard herself from further burns, but raises her gun and tries to lay suppressive fire in the direction of A, B, D, aiming at the spot right in front of B (i'm not even adding her attack mods to these rolls because it was 16/16/18/11 where were these rolls when we were actually trying to knock people unconscious, hMMM M ? ? ]

Kat, you are so paying for my haircut when we make it out of this!
