andres ♔ are we wrapped in black paranoia

♬ 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. ]

[ purple jumps down as well, moving towards the fallen tree with raised weapon.

jaina leaps from behind the trees, moving to the edge of the bridge and laying down some cover towards grey for miles' sake (atk 19, dmg 6).

cerulean jumps down to fire at davin (atk 24), but the vampire easily avoids the bullet. black fires down at riddick (atk 26; dmg 5). blue scrambles for his weapon and turns it on davin in a panic (atk 13), the bullet flying wildly off in his unease. pink stays stationed on the top of the tank, waiting for anyone else to appear, and red throws the door open and climbs out. ]

[ derek was apparently listening to the village too hard to hear the call to attack. by the time he notices the trucks, everyone else has sprung into action. ]

[ dovan is slow ok, so he's gonna take all this time to pop out the water and slowly start to trundle his way up towards the bridge. lavender jumps off and fires at jaina (atk 25, dmg 27), striking her right in the chest. blood blossoms across her chest and she looks down, gasping, cries out: ] Miles! [ and then slumps to the ground, unconscious. mint stays where he's perched and fires down at miles (atk 22, dmg 5) ]

[ davin reaches into the tank and grips blue, yanking him out of the truck with a successful grapple check (14 dmg). he succeeds in his melee touch attack and buries his fangs into the guards' throat (11 dmg). green is horrified and fires down at him but misses entirely. riddick moves over and attacks black (dmg 14) ]

[ Penelope's attention immediately snaps to Jaina as she goes down, but she's leery to leave herself so open by just running across the bridge. Instead, she holds her hand out toward Gray, her lips moving quickly as she casts a spell (Searing Light). An intensely bright ray of light springs forth from her palm, striking Gray squarely in the chest (att nat 20; dmg 30). The light arches between them for a second before she drops her hand, raising her shield in her left hand as she charges out behind the tank, twenty feet in Jaina's direction, and straight toward Gray. As she nears him, a strong, bright burst of holy energy explodes from her in a 50-foot-radius burst, giving minor healing to all within the vicinity (1 hp), and stabilizing Jaina (Stabilize; swift action). ]

[ orange takes a shot at miles (atk 22; dmg 10) while yellow aims out the window at riddick (atk 21; dmg 13). gray makes his fort save vs the searing light and fires at penelope as she approaches (atk 26; dmg 7) ]

Jaina!

[Yeah, Miles failed the fuck out of his will save (3) so he literally about-faces in the middle of the street and runs back where he came to crouch by her side. He'll spend his turn either just getting there or hopefully carrying/dragging her down and behind the edge of the bridge where he'd been hiding earlier (str 13).

He's looking pretty worse for the wear too, having taken two bullets already.]

[ he can start dragging her but not get super far. purple keeps a readied action up for anyone entering the bridge on her side, while jaina blinks her eyes open a bit, thanks to penelope's stabilization burst. she looks disoriented, looking around, eyes settling on miles' face, reading the concern there. ] What-- [ she can barely move but she'll try to help, getting to her feat and wincing, leaning on him heavily. cerulean aims at dovan (atk 25, dmg 3), while black tries to smack riddick with the butt of his gun, cracking him hard on the skull (nat 20, dmg 18). blue tries to break away from the nightmare that is GETTING EATEN BY A VAMPIRE but he crit failed his grapple check and winds up pinned to the side of the tank as davin latches on even harder, inflicting another 4 dmg to himself in the process, gj blue. pink goes to man the gun on top of the tank, getting it situated, while red also fires on the approaching dwarf, but misses (atk 11) ]

[ and derek.... finally notices the conflict? round of applause. ]

[ rather than walk around to the gap between the log and the end of the bridge, derek jumps (jump 16) the few feet up to the bridge itself, and pulls himself up (climb 18) over the side, still trying not to be noticed but kind of making a fair amount of noise with his gun and his chainmail (move silently 9, hide 10). ]

[ from there, he brings his gun up and fires on purple (atk 24, dmg 5). ]

[ derek's bullet strikes purple, who looks surprised at his sudden appearance but fires off her readied shot (atk 20; dmg 11 if it hits).

meanwhile, dovan charges at red, swinging his great-axe with a roar (atk 36, dmg 26). ow. lavender shoots after miles, striking him despite the partial cover, for 6 dmg. mint hops down and moves between the back two tanks, so that he can shoot out from behind cover at davin (atk 19, nope).]

[ davin keeps ripping at blue's throat for 12 damage, most of the color draining from the soldier's face as he nears unconsciousness. he also crushes him with his grip for 6 more dmg... which finally pushes blue over the brink. davin releases him, and he slumps to the ground, passed out, and bleeding out his neck. green keeps firing at the freaking vampire because he's probably next and not happy about it (atk 24... still nope). riddick attacks black again for 9 damage. ]

[ penelope has to attack gray on her way through, just... because she does, ok. she's hoping riddick is keeping black busy enough that he won't start shooting at her, too, but ouch, that looked like it hurt.

anyway, she runs forward, her sword slashing gray across his front, from shoulder to hip (atk 27, which is a critical, if it hits; dmg 22), blood spraying from the large gash that travels through his armor and into his flesh.

seriously, praise the everlight for that impressive sword-work. ]

[ orange moves closer to the tank again and fires at derek (atk 19, dmg 4 if it hits). yellow fires at davin and misses too, jfc. ]

[Miles grunts and winces painfully as another bullet strikes him, but he manages to keep both himself and Jaina hobbling down and hopefully underneath the bridge for better cover (str 12).]

[ purple pops off another one at derek too quickly to aim well (atk 11, which i'm sure misses). jaina stumbles down around the bridge with miles, leaning across a tree and pressing a hand against her injuries with a wince. ] Not lookin' too hot yourself there, Slick. [ cerulean glances back at the dwarf that is chopping his friend almost in half over there, and hesitates, wondering whether he or the vampire are the bigger threat here. he decides he has a better chance to hit dovan apparently and fires - landing a nat 20!! 14 dmg. black smacks at riddick again (atk 23; dmg 4), while blue finally stabilizes.

pink swings the tank cannon around at dovan and releases a deafening BOOM from it... missing and striking the edge of the bridge, knocking part of it out. red steps back from dovan, firing frantically (atk 18) but he's too close and it fires past him. ]

[ purple's first attack hits derek in the shoulder, but the second misses (defense 20 incl armor for the record!) and he decides he'd rather do this up close and personal. he's fast, and he jumps down off the side of the bridge (j13) and comes towards them with a grim determination, his eyes flashing an electric blue. ]

[ but before he even strikes, he immediately attempts to disarm her by grabbing her wrist and forcing her to drop the gun (atk 24). ]

[ purple tries to take a shot but his hand is already on her wrist, twisting it away as the bullet discharges (atk 12). he easily wrests the gun out of her hands and it drops to the ground.

meanwhile, dovan steps in and smashes into red again (atk 33; dmg 23) which knocks her onto the ground, bleeding and out for the count. he has cleave but he'd have to take another step and can't :( sob.

lavender moves forward to the middle of the 3rd tank, and readies an action to shoot if penelope emerges from behind it. mint tries to shoot at davin again, and finally seems to realize this shit is fruitless. ]

[ as expected, davin leaps for green next, yanking him down off the tank by easily winning that grapple check (6 dmg). with another successful melee touch attack, he bites that sucker too (12 dmg). om nom nom.

green tries to use escape artist to break away but nope, not going anywhere. riddick keeps wailing on black (dmg 7). ]

[ penelope, seeing gray fall over unconcious, grips her silver holy symbol in her hand, pressing it against her chest, and murmuring a short word or two to cast sanctuary on herself. a light spreads from her palm and quickly expands to cover her whole body for a moment before disappearing entirely. she's in healing mode now, and need not attack (hopefully) for the next minute or so; at least not until some of her allies are back on their feet.

spell cast, she takes off in the direction of miles and jaina, losing the cover of the tank, but holding faith that her spell will help deflect any attacks aimed in her direction. (sanctuary: any opponent attempting to strike or otherwise directly attack the warded creature, even with a targeted spell, must attempt a will save, DC 14. if the save succeeds, the opponent can attack normally and is unaffected by that casting of the spell. if the save fails, the opponent can’t follow through with the attack, that part of its action is lost, and it can’t directly attack the warded creature for the duration of the spell.) she can, unfortunately, only move 20 ft in their direction this round. ]

[ orange fires at derek again... dead on, with a nat 20. 20 dmg total. yellow keeps firing on davin (atk 25) but with a -4 to not shoot his buddy... so nope. ]

[He does the same as her nearby, leaning his head back for a moment, breathing hard.

Somehow, he cracks a smile at that.]

Good to know I look as good as I feel.

[Just casually joking about being near death while they wait for rescue nbd.]

[ disarmed, purple moves to strike derek in the face with her elbow (atk 23, dmg 3). jaina strains to look up at the bridge, where the gunfire is non-stop and the giant boom of the tank's cannon is more than a little unnerving. ] Should we call for back-up? [ cerulean sees dovan coming with his death dealing ax, and is like nope.jpeg, moving back between the tanks, firing one shot out without much control, clearly shaken by the sight of red going down (atk 10). black continues wrestling with riddick, whiffing as he tries to smack in the head. pink takes aim with the cannon again, but once more, it proves difficult to aim at such close range, blowing up one end of the tree in the road, instead. ]

[ penelope's still booking it across the bridge, sheathing her sword as she moves, but keeping her shield high to provide cover for her face. she makes it to miles and jaina after about ten seconds of running, diving behind the bridge next to them, her eyes quickly scanning the two of them (heal 20). she crouches down next to jaina, the more injured of the two, and lays her hands firmly against her bleeding wounds without hesitation. ] Forgive me for causing you further pain, but it will be but a memory in a moment.

[ the rigid crease in her brow grows more defined as she murmurs a soft, soothing word, and her hands begin to glow a pale, white light. beads of sweat fall from her face as the light moves from her hands to jaina's lacerations, the torn and bloody tissue instantly knitting itself back together, from the inside out (cure serious wounds for 24 hp).

the light fades as suddenly as it had arrived, and penelope lifts her hands from her now-healed ally, turning to next address jaina's hemorrhaging boyfriend beside her. ]

[ orange fires at derek again, but the bullet sails far to his left as they overcompensate to not strike their ally. yellow's bullet whizzes right by davin's ear as the vampire shifts the slightest bit to avoid the projectile. ]

The others seem to be keeping it together alright. We might want to see if any of the guys we sent into the village can make it back.

[He gives Penelope a pained smile.]

You're a lifesaver.

[Literally.]
