WHO || Lanston Wellington, Drax the Destroyer, Wolverine, Nathan Young, Faith Lehane, Maxwell Briggard, Sam Winchester, Rocket, Eric Carpenter, Cora Hale, Dimitri Belikov, Alanna, Jaime Lannister, Klaus Mikaelson, Gus Harrison
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked to assault the site of Shadowkind experimentation on Andres, free the Shadowkind within, and recover Sir Bancroft, if he's being held there.
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ Having spent months scrying on areas of the Island scouted out by Sir Bancroft and Sir Chessing, Hasmed is able to send a few groups to the Island via greater teleport spells, with a fairly small margin for error, as to where they're going to land. The Shadowkind prison teams land flawlessly, and the very big group appears in a clearing in the middle of the woods, abruptly finding themselves surrounded by trees and mostly darkness. The moon is in its last quarter, and with the trees so thick above them, there are only patches of light that filter down here and there. Those with darkvision or lowlight vision can see perfectly, but anyone with normal vision may find themselves squinting to see much of anything.

The teleport spell only works if the entire group is physically connected, so when they arrive, Wolverine yanks his hand off Nathan's shoulder, and gives Drax a Look like stop touching me if you value your hand. Eric runs his Drakenet app to determine their location, then announces: "Dead on." In other words, no spell mishap sending them miles off target. Beside them all, Lan's mount, Daisy, stamps her feet slightly, obviously unnerved by the magic. He whispers "Whoa, there" and reins her in, causing her to settle. ]

[ despite it being flatfooted,

none of drax's attacks

pierce the thing's exterior.

it appears entirely unaffected, even by his critical. it does however, open its maw - and pour what looks like magma out at all of them. a reflex save dc 24 halves the damage, otherwise they take 29 fire damage. whether they make the save or not, they're all affected by the slow spell from contact with the magical lava, for 4 rounds.

logan's reflex save of 5 isn't doing him any favors, and he takes all that damage, his skin burning and bubbling as he grimaces against the pain. slowed, he can only move forward to drax's side, and doesn't have time to even attack it. everything is horrible. ]

[Yeah... this is not good. Why did Faith go this way again??

Either way, let's get this going. Her opponent is definitely Rocky here and her reflex save (thankfully) is a 26, but hey at least that's dropping her HP back to full numbers and gets rid of that half point. Not that she's excited to get injured and she's really concerned that the big guy didn't even put a dent in the thing. Which isn't comforting at all.

Faith isn't sure what to do, but she figures she has to at least try something. She retrieves the gun she picked up off of Black and aims at the mouth. She fires, hoping to hit the thing. (atk 21, dmg 6+4 penetration 5 = 15 total)]

[Rocket makes his reflex save (31), but he still gets more than just a little singed fur. The slow spell takes away one of his greatest assets- his speed, so he's left awkwardly taking five steps back, glancing down at the remote in his pocket to avoid facing the fact that Drax DID NOTHING TO IT. DRAX. THE DESTROYER. DID NO DESTROYING.

And then he remembers something and he starts to get the bare minimum of a plan.] This thing won't stop tryin' to kill us until its orders change. I think I can do that.

[Unfortunately... that's all the time he has. Until next round. #suspense]

[autorevive]

[nathan narrowly misses the ref save dc (22), so he feels the magma. all in his face. so unsexy so awful. at least he made his massive dmg check too (18), so he won't die today. again. for now. he decides to put all his energy into lighting his molotov cocktail. y e p.]

You do that, mate, I'm going to fight fire with fire!

[spinerip]

[Drax growls at the inconvenient magma though he made his reflex save. He doesn't seem too put off by his failure. He drops one of his knives, too impatient to sheathe it nicely, and winds up for one mighty punch that... probably doesn't do much (atk 20, dmg 9 JUST IN CASE HIS MAGIC FIST THING WORKS. I CAN DREAM.)]

[adamantiumed]

[ both faith's shot and drax's fist do nothing :( striking off the side of the thing like it's made of adamantium itself.

now that you're here drax, it's going to slam into you with a massive heated fist. (atk 28, dmg 16+14 fire damage ow.) its other fist will go for logan but an attack of 26 WON'T HURT HIM AHAHAHA ]

[msattentionspan]

[Ha ha. She is gonna use this turn to just move the hell away from the thing. The further away, the better. Sorry guys, but she isn't gonna try to punch the rock thing that pukes lava right now.]

[adamantiumed]

[ logan's skin slowly heals over the burns (+5 hp) and then he does his one attack and makes it count (atk 40, dmg 19). sorta. it really only leaves a tiny scratch on it 8( whooo damage reduction. ] You gotta be kiddin' me.

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket has whipped out the remote and is frantically trying to figure out how to access the option for THIS FUCKING BEHEMOTH when he sees Drax take that hit.. and man he don't look so good. Growling, he keeps working. (computer use 12 13 ACTION POINTS SAY 28!!!]

[autorevive]

[nathan throws his now lit molotov cocktail at the giant crazy thing for a whole ... atk 10. i'm guessing it just bounces off him and rolls into magma or smth. where it will detonate 1 round from now i guess. or now bcuz magma.]

[spinerip]

[Drax is pretty dumb so he's just gonna punch the thing again (atk 24) and I'm not gonna bother rolling damage again just gonna cry and hope Rocket's thing worked.]

[adamantiumed]

[ the ember guard looks down at drax's ineffective fist smashing into its leg, as nathan's molotov cocktail explodes away from everyone, in a puddle of magma. it raises a fist again, bringing it down towards the destroyer's head--

and stops, just a foot short. the fist hovers there for a moment, and then the creature slowly straightens up again.

and just stands there. ]

[msattentionspan]

[That... seems to be a good thing. She's still not gonna move too far away.]

So did the raccoon just get a brand new toy?

[adamantiumed]

[ well. shit damn. ] You can control this thing?

[beatupgrass]

[Rocket doesn't even seem to care about his victory or the fact that he was just called a raccoon again. Being only able to run at half speed makes getting to Drax difficult, but he makes it, and that's pretty much all he can do right now. The danger has passed though, so the only worry on his face is for his friend..

Worry that promptly turns to anger.]

You idiot! Are you tryin' to give me a heart attack?!

[autorevive]

Well, that was anticlimactic.

[his face scrunches up in a frown. HE MEANS HIS COCKTAIL. not ... drax almost getting pummeled to death. he's not a sociopath. just really fucking stupid.]

[spinerip]

[Drax is... not looking very good. He's still standing very straight and strong and looks ready to punch everything, but he also looks like... doing that might make him fall down. He picks up his knives and sheathes them in his boots again and looks at Rocket.]

No. I would probably use some sort of electric attack if I wanted to induce cardiac arrest, and besides, I would do no such thing to you. You are my friend.

[A big smile, then he turns and looks up at the big robot monster thing.]

Can you turn it against our enemies?

[Things on his mind: MORE DESTROYING. Things not on his mind: Getting healed.]

[beatupgrass]

[Oh right. People were talking to him about the remote. He gives Drax an agitated look and then looks up at the ember guard.] Probably. It'll be good to have when we're ready to trash the joint. Or if they've got somethin' bigger.

[And back to Drax.] You need to get back to the courtyard and get healed up. If you die in here, I'm gonna be pissed.

[spinerip]

[Drax scoffs.]

Retreat? [He tries to stride confidently to show how fine he is and... stumbles.] ...perhaps a temporary necessity. I dislike leaving you undefended, though.

[THE OTHER KNIGHTS HERE DON'T COUNT....]

[beatupgrass]

Undefended?! [EXCUSE YOU. JUST BECAUSE HE GOT CAUGHT AND TORTURED IN THIS PLACE ONCE DOES NOT MEAN IT IS GOING TO BE AN EVERY DAY THING.]

Who just saved whose ass from gettin' smashed to death?

[Yeah, they have... forgotten the rest of you are even there. It's Marvel's new movie "Marvel Characters Don't Care If You're In The Room: Part 2."]

[spinerip]

I distracted it so that you would survive to save me. [His destroying did little enough else.....]

[beatupgrass]

[r u srs...]

That is not even a little bit what just happened!

[Well maybe a little bit.]

[autorevive]

You're both mental, you know that?

[beatupgrass]

[Oh there are other people here. Rocket glances over at the other three to acknowledge that he sees them there and then turns back to Drax.] I'll be fine. You won't be if you stick around here. Go on.

[He manages to sound annoyed and slightly dejected. Maybe he was counting on having Drax around when he heads into the breach, but having him alive is better than having the moral support.

Once he's done shooing Drax, he turns to the Ember Guard.] And as for you, you just wait right here until I come back.

[Let's just take a moment to appreciate this under three foot tall raccoon giving orders to a fucking magma monster. Let's all just... fucking appreciate this.]

[adamantiumed]

You sure that thing's gonna stick? [ logan sounds skeptical, but w/e. he would love a cigar rn tbh ]
