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. ]

[ 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.]

[ despite the fact that he has been badly shot by orange, derek doesn't waver. his focus stays on the struggling purple even as he can feel blood trickling down his side. he pulls in a deep, painful breath, and punches her in the face (atk 24, dmg 7). ]

[ dovan lets out a roar and bends at the knees, before leaping up onto the tank (jump 21) to bring his axe down at pink's head (atk 45, dmg 32). the soldier fails their fort save and slumps off from the tank, bleeding massively.

lavender, having failed her will save vs penelope's sanctuary spell earlier, readies another shot at whoever might emerge from around the corner of the bridge. mint decides to run the fuck away from davin and make for the cannon on three, clambering up the tank. ]

[ davin tightens a crushing grip around green (12 dmg), while ripping furiously at his neck (10 dmg). the soldier goes pale as shit as well, horror welling up in his eyes as he senses his final moments likely approaching. he struggles even more weakly against the vampire (grapple 10 vs. 29), beating back helplessly against him. ]

[Riddick growls at black, pissed that he just won't seem to die. With a Nat 20 attack (dmg 16 total for penetration) he brings his ulak blade up and around towards the guy's shoulder in an arc.]

[ riddick's blade takes down black finally, and orange shifts his fire from derek to the terrifying dwarf on top of the tank, but his shot clangs off dovan's armor easily. yellow decides living sounds better than getting his throat ripped out by a vampire, and starts to crawl out of the tank on the other side. ]

[NEVER FEAR, THE SORCERER IS HERE... and oh that's a lot of carnage.

Gold and Belle arrive to the sounds of the battle still going strong. Instinctively, Gold raises a hand to use a spell, but the guilt he associates with using magic hits him and he becomes crippled with indecision on how to proceed.

Maybe if he doesn't hurt anyone...

He casts Ventriloquism on the other side of the bridge where the tanks came from (assuming that's within fifty feet), his accent softened into a flatter, but panicked version of his own:] Fall back! [(bluff 29 for the... bullshit, even if it's not necessary for the spell)]

[ good work bb. belle stays a step behind him, with her gun drawn but lowered, keeping an eye on the soldier fighting derek. if he doesn't retreat when it comes time for him to act, she'll try to stop him with a readied action to shoot -- but if they can scare the soldiers off with gold's trick, that sounds better to her than a bloodbath. ]

[Miles is just going to hold/skip his action because he's still...injured as fuck. He sure hears all that going on above them, though (listen 18).]

Sounds like maybe back-up is already here.

[ jaina's eyes darken as she hears the call for a retreat ] If they run now, they'll only come back in force. [ jaina hisses as she pulls herself away from the tree, testing her limbs to make sure she's feeling good enough to do this - and then turning all business, steeling herself against the urge to stay and hover, as she glances at penelope. ] I'm leaving him in good hands. [ with that, she turns and dashes back out to the bridge. she stops dead in her tracks, staring at lavender with her gun down at her side, feet planted firmly apart, anger burning in her eyes. as lavender turns towards her, fully ready to run for it, jaina raises one hand, palm up (force strike 25), and lavender fails their save hilariously (ref 3 vs... 20), and goes slamming back into the tank (7 dmg).

"What the--?!"

cerulean goes running through the space between tanks, taking the order to heart to retreat, making it to yellow's side. ]

[ derek is basically going to continue to punch purple until she leaves or passes out ~~or belle interferes~~. he barely acknowledges the order to retreat (one that he hasn't realized has come from his own side) and instead hits his foe again (atk 21 dmg 6). ]

[ dovan's going to take a flying leap off the tank at orange, hello. ahahaha nat 20 for a... 49.

68 dmg.

off with his head!!!!

lavender and mint both fucking run for it, moving south off the bridge. mint has to clamber off the tank to do it but they are both keeping their guns up as they go. ]

[ davin finishes draining the life out of green, and drops him, his lifeless body slumping against the tank. he glances around, and then starts moving between the tanks after cerulean. ]

[Oh no they don't!! Once Riddick finally finishes off black, he notices mint and lavender booking it for the other side of the bridge. Rather than trying to run them down because haha why do that when there are machine guns?? he instead attempts to climb the side of the tank he is practically already standing on (climb:20 total). Once up there he takes aim at mint and lavendar, spraying a hail of bullets in their direction (atk:23 dmg 10+9+12(penetration)+12(penetration)+2 = 45 dmg total.) Take that for trying to run away.]

[ it's actually reflex save based but ahahahah they both failed like what. ow.

THAT GUNS BOTH OF THEM DOWN. WOW RIDDICK.

also somehow i totally forgot to even do purple's turn last time, so... he's doing a full retreat as well, booking it to the left side of the bridge, to try to get around the tree over there. belle keeps her weapon on him, but doesn't fire :( ]

[ penelope doesn't spare a glance in jaina's direction as she takes off. all this is pretty normal fare for a battle cleric: heal 'em up and send 'em back in.

instead, she moves over to miles, kneeling next to him and placing her free hand against his most injured part, her other hand still holding her shield to grant them some cover from anyone making their way toward them from the bridge.

a soft, white light grows from her palm as she mutters an almost silent word of comfort, and then expands to cover each of miles' wounds, simultaneously (cure light wounds for 20 hp). the wounds begin to knit themselves together within moments, the pain also retreating, and the remaining bloodstains on his clothing serve as the only reminder of his earlier injuries. ]

[Gold is just staring at the carnage like... ykw I tried to be a decent person and this is what happens, but as he can't just make everyone STOP MURDERING EVERYONE and he already put the guards in retreat, he's just gonna stand there with Belle, all dreary sigh.]

[ yellow paces out away from the vampire and the psycho on the tank, firing at jaina and her freaky mind powers (atk 19), but missing as the jedi side steps the shot with ease. ]

Thanks.

[To Penelope before he starts to move again, because he sure feels a hell of a lot better, and Jaina's back out there.

He moves up to where the bridge meets the road, sees where yellow is shooting at her, and says fuck no to that, firing a shot at him (atk 19, dmg 9 if that hits)]

[ purple takes off down the bank of the river to the northwest, while jaina glances over at miles, relieved to see him in one piece, but clearly worried immediately about him being back in the line of fire. miles' shot strikes yellow, but they don't go down, and a frustrated jaina's hand twists abruptly. one hand flies to the soldier's throat at he grapples against some unseen grip (10 dmg). cerulean moves straight back, muttering a litany of curses as he fires at davin (atk 14), the shot bouncing off the tank's bumper. ]

[ belle might not want to take the shot, but derek is bleeding and pissed. he pulls up his excalibur pistol and fires with deadly accuracy at purple's retreating back (atk nat 20, dmg 15). ]

[ the shot strikes purple in the back of the shoulder, blood spraying out - but doesn't down them entirely. dovan heads for cerulean, who finds that the vampire is the least of his worries, as the keen greataxe comes swinging at him (atk 46, dmg 19). ]
