 Louise Septienne Louise looks at Exclairmonde trying to peer past her façade, she seemed so unfazed by the taunting but that wasn't what she was really feeling was it? No, she probably wants to hurt this guy more than I do. Well, let's get the party started. She slowly walks towards Lestrade. "How about we make things interesting? If we win, we swap carriages. If we lose..." She gets up close to him, looks him in the eyes, smiles and softly touches his cheek with her gauntleted hand. Her smile turns into a vicious grin as she then grips his jaw like a vice and headbutts him as hard as she can. "If we lose we'll walk all the way to our destination, but there's no way in hell we're losing to trash like you."

 Evelyn Winter Evelyn made a rude gesture, and the energy whirling around her pulsed and expanded, surrounding their impromptu sparring with an odd spatial barrier. She'd done this once or twice before - it was a handy trick for blocking arrow barrages on the battlefield, it just tended to gently caress up time and space a little near the edges. Temporarily. Probably temporarily. Initiative: 2#1d20 17 Spell Determination: 1d6 6 - Iconic Iconic Warp: 1d6 1 - Roll two icons and pick the one you want.

Evelyn Winter The magic surrounding them made it difficult for Evelyn to get a bead on any of her foes. Fortunately, she'd had enough experience to know that these spatial distortions had a trick to them; to get closer, you had to move away. She backed off and found a clear shot against one of the Orb Casters; unfortunately, she merely struck a glancing blow. Holy Spark (Attack vs. PD): Orb Caster: 1d20+6 11 2 miss damage.

 Exclairmonde Okay, Exclairmonde thought to herself, don't kill him. Do NOT kill a higher ranking crusader on your first day. This is why people talk about you. Pulling her claymore from its sheathe, she charged directly for Lestrade. He was off-balance from Louise's surprise head assault, leaving him open for a first strike.

Captain Lestrade doesn't get his shield up in time, and Exclairmonde's great sword leaves a dent on his armor and likely a stinging bruise. He hisses through his teeth. "You're pulling your punches, dear. Use that anger! You throw in with the Crusader, you bloody well act like it!" The casters begin to channel power into their implements, unleashing blasts of light that assault your psyche! But the one that Evelyn struck with a spell, it seems to become more powerful with every strike. Exclairmonde suffers a barrage of attacks, but thus far they don't do much but give her a mild headache. Blue Orb Caster uses Orb of Pain, Targets Exclairmonde 14 vs MD hits!

Zyanya Zyanya seizes the moment, dashing to her right to press their advantage. She sees a burst of energy surge towards her, but she is quick enough to repel it as she swings her blade at the trooper in front of her. The swing does not quite make the mark, but it serves as enough of a distraction that the gnoll is able to point her open right hand at the soldier's armor, wilting a small portion of it like a dying flower and leaving an opening for further attacks. Attacking Green Trooper: 1d20+6 13 Attack Green Trooper, then use Fracture on Green Trooper for -2 AC. pre:Zyanya Stats HP 36/36 AC 17 PD 14 MD 14 Rec 8/8 2d8+2 Initiative: +4 Shotel+6 vs. AC — 2d8+4 Damage

Louise Septienne Louise draws her scimitar and shield and charges at the rear line, fully expecting to be stopped by one of the armored soldiers. Halfway into the charge she raises her blade and it crackles alight with red lightning as she lets her demonic powers flow through it. When the trooper doesn't step in to block her she has to awkwardly shift her momentum slightly to score a strike on the robed figure. Not the cleanest of hits but as the blunt side of the sword smacks into the combatant it unleashes the painful energies straight into the robed figure. She assumes a defensive posture and tries to corner both of her enemies. "Come on, strike at me if you dare!" Move to engage Red Orb Caster and if possible — since they look to be next to each other — Yellow Trooper. Smite Orb Caster (Red): 1d20+5+4 23 vs AC, hit! 2d8+1d12+3 11 Damage.

As Loise move forward, past the guardsman, striking towards one of the robed figures, Annabelle quickly follows in in her shadow, also attacking the arcane opponent. As the big woman strikes, Annabelle makes her own move, hoping to catch the man off-guard. But her blade doesn't really find it's target, only slightly scratching the man's leg before hitting his armor with a metallic sound. With a quick step, Annabelle then moves behind her large, horned comrade's back, hoping that will put her out of the man's range.

Don't forget to note miss damage LaSalsaVerde. e X, I trust you, no need to copy the mechanics of your attacks in your posts. And yeah, I knew the combo of goblin/rogue gave you auto disengages. Lestrade lets the head of his heavy flail drop to the ground. "This is no simple sparring session. This is war! And the Crusader knows war!" He brings the weapon up and a wide swing! Exclairmonde deftly avoids it, but the long chain whips around and strikes Zyanya hard! "Protect your allies, commander! Or maybe we'll see you stab them in the back!" Warded by his shield, he backs off and moves to flank Louise. One of the troops looks around, and sees Annabelle looking particularly vulnerable. He runs over and kicks the small goblin hard in the gut. The other parries Zyanya's strike and punches her in the jaw in a single movement. Combat roils around you, as many of you engage in single combat against each other. Can you give as well as you have been getting hit? Lestrade attacks Exclairmonde 11 vs AC misses. Miss effect! Zyanya takes 10 damage! Lestrade gains Focus on Me for the rest of the battle! When an enemy engaged with Lestrade attacks him, that enemy can't target other creatures with that attack. ...

Evelyn Winter Evelyn moved forward to support her slightly buffeted teammates - she reared back and swung her fist at the Red Orb Caster, and it staggered back from the blow. Which was odd, because the two of them were a dozen yards apart from one another. But then abruptly distance ceased to matter, as mere Cartesian distance became simultaneously one with all things and infinitely isolated.

Exclairmonde "You are espèce de sale con, Lestrade!" drat mages. Exclairmonde's head felt like it was going to split in half. She couldn't let Lestrade slip away from her, but his friends were equally problematic to the rest of her group. The mages needed to be removed from the fight as quickly as possible. Louise already scoured one of them, and where there is weakness, it must be exploited. Exclairmonde charged past Lestrade, striking the mage behind Louise.

Zyanya Zyanya winces from the pain of the flail and the fist both. She dashes away from the soldier, growling lowly. Recognizing the spacial anomaly, the enemy engaged with Annabelle gets closer as Zyanya weaves in and out of the fluctuating distances, her movements impossible to track. Her wince contorts into a hellish grin, and the raging warrior lets out a hyena-like cackle that echoes through the area. The shotel swings high - very high - but Zyanya only gets louder, baring her teeth at the soldier in front of her. Attacking the Yellow Trooper: 1d20+6+2 9 Well. No miss damage, and I believe this means the flexible attack is null as well. Zyanya moves to the yellow trooper, casts Heart of the Blade to double the escalation die bonus for a total +8, then... blows it. At least now Annabelle will get the sneak attack bonus, and next turn I'll spout off color spray. pre:Zyanya Stats HP 20/36 AC 17 PD 14 MD 14 Rec 8/8 2d8+2 Initiative: +4 Shotel+6 vs. AC — 2d8+4 Damage

She goes in low and tries to tackle the captain in the gut but passes right through his blurry image. Chaos magic! Instead of trying to turn back to him and losing her momentum in the process she keeps going towards the soldier straight ahead of her.

Annabelle feels miserable. That kick probably cracked a rib and her head hurts, too. Exclairmonde posted:"Annabelle, do not despair! It may hurt now, but that will only make the victory taste sweeter!" She smiles grimly. It's not like this is her first time on the robes, having steel clad human thugs beating down on her. Still, it is nice to not be on your own for once. So much more important is it now to not let anybody down. She struggles on her feet and faces the man with the heavy boots, ready to take him on! Free Rally Action: 2d8 9 +3 from Feat Zyanya has moved past the first soldier and attacked the one who kicked her.

Lestrade watches the warps in space around him, but its a credit to his training that he doesn't get lost in the chaotic weave of space. Instead, he grins and points at Evelyn. "Two can play at this game. Men! Bring the mage down!" He and the troopers break for Evelyn! You can hardly hope to stop them, thanks to the twists in space that were helping you just moments before. Lestrade approaches, flail held high. "Witch, feel the wrath of the Crusader!" But he swings too wide! And Louise sees a chance to use her devilish heritage. The other troops follow up, but fare little better. The strategy was well made, but the execution leaves much to be desired.

With a mischievous grin she reaches out towards him with her hand and a red pentagram appears at his feet. As he goes in for the attack with his flail he is struck by terrible luck, the chain gets stuck in his armor and begins to wrap itself around his legs! "Whoops, having problems there?"

Evelyn Winter Evelyn is clearly better at navigating bizarre space than the soldiers, using it to evade most of the attacks coming her way. Sensing that the magic is weakening, she seeks cover behind her allies once more, firing off random arrows of force as she retreated.

Zyanya The cackle crescendos, the gnoll turning to face the troopers as they fail to outmaneuver Evelyn. Now that they're vulnerable, Zyanya seizes a pouch from within her overcoat, tossing the powdery contents into the air. To her allies, that was the end of it. However, a powerful illusion surrounds the dust as it descends over Lestrade and one of his soldiers, causing the substance to seemingly ignite into flames of shifting colors, dancing in various patterns and searing their eyes with sharp light. As false as the images might be, the pain is very real. Zyanya's risible warcry spikes, and for a moment, it sounds as if a deeper, more alien voice was laughing along with her. In the confusion, Zyanya sprints towards the mage, pointing her blade straight forward in a charge. She can't attack him just yet, but she can lock him down.

Still reeling from the previous blow, the trooper has no chance to defend himself as she comes in with a heavy strike to the side of his head with her gauntleted fist, using the hilt of her sword like a knuckleduster. She maneuvers into the spot Evelyn occupied a moment before and stares down the two nearby soldiers. "I appreciate that you've been avoiding making scratches on my shiny armor so far, but I'm almost starting to feel neglected. Face me and fight with me you craven bastards!" Move to engage Green and Yellow Troopers. Attack Green Trooper: 1d20+5+2 15 vs AC, hit! 2d8+3 17 Damage. Finally some good damage! Green Trooper is still weakened at this point so his AC is 14, but after my turn he's back to normal. pre:Louise Septienne Stats Techinques (Resolve) Powers HP 40/40 Crippling Strike (1) {X}[ ][ ][ ] Infernal Smite AC 22(+1 M) Riposte (1) { } Bastion PD 14 { }{ } Defiance (1) {X} Curse of Chaos MD 16 Rec 8/8 2d10+2 Resolve 3/4 Scimitar +5 vs. AC — 2d8+3 Damage Sockerbagarn fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Sep 29, 2015 |

Annabelle's headache is getting worse. She can almost hear her head puckering. She quickly looks over the battlefield. Thanks to her magic, Evelyn easily slipped away from the soldiers, she seems save for the moment. The armored warriors are all locked in melee combat and Zyanya has unleashed her own arcane power and was now cornering the last mage. Annabelle looks around, searching and spots the rear end that just kicked her in the ribs, now fighting with Louise. She takes measurements for second, then she starts running. She builds speed, runs past the big, horned woman's' feet, up to the soldier and kicks him square in between the legs. Then, as he keels over, she turns the rest of her momentum into a spinning kick, hitting the man in the head and throwing herself back towards Louise. She lands on her hands and tumbles over into a forward roll, easily coming to a halt, now safely behind Louise's big, steel clad back. Now that's how it was done. Her head felt noticeably lighter after this little piece of action. Moving to engage the Yellow Trooper, attacking with Tumbling Strike and using the second movement to move behind Louise, respective to the two Troopers.

Captain Lestrade untangles himself and crawls to his feet. He is past anger, he has entered the cold embrace of fury on the other side. "I'm not done here. And I won't be defeated. FALL." He swings his flail around in a blinding arc, headed straight for Exclairmonde's head! Time slows as she watches the head approach... But Louise looks her way, and her eyes briefly flash yellow. The hit strikes hard, too hard, but Exclairmonde remains standing! The troopers regard Louise with considerable fear. One isn't quite able to edge away, and tries to attack Louise, but she quickly rebuffs the strike, putting her mailed fist into the troopers face and bringing him down. The other uses the brief distraction, throwing his ally to the wolves and tries to get to Evelyn. But Annabelle stops him in his tracks. She pays for it in a stinging welt across the arm, but Evelyn needs the space to cast her magic. Lestrade stands up, attacks Exclairmonde! C-c-c-crit! Exclairmonde takes... Bastion! Louise absorbs half the damage, 20 damage to Louise and Exclairmonde! Yellow Trooper attempts to disengage, 13-5 fails! Attacks Louise, 14 misses badly. Louise Ripostes! Since a miss does half damage, he's done. Green Trooper attempts to disengage, 17-5 succeeds! Goes for Evelyn, Annabelle intercepts 18 vs AC hits, 6 damage! Lestrade is using Focus on Me! Enemies engaged with him that target him with an attack can't target other creatures with that attack. Evelyn and Exclairmonde are up! Escalation is at 3!  pre:Lestrade AC18 PD16 MD14 61/100 HP Blue Orb Caster AC17 PD13 MD13 46/46 HP GreenTrooper AC18 PD16 MD12 3/36 HP

Annabelle sees the last trooper leaving his comrade behind, heading for Evelyn. She immediately dart out from behind Louise's back and into his path. As she steps in his way and, as he lunges an attack towards her arm, but she swiftly catches it with her leather arm bracers, managing to avoid most of the force, so that it only grazes her.

Exclairmonde Blood trickled from Exclairmonde's ear, her head felt like it would cave in at any moment, her legs felt like frozen gelatin keeping her upright but shaking. Still, she wouldn't give Lestrade the pleasure of watching her fall. This is not a spar, and to Lestrade, it probably never was. He's out for blood, but he will not take it easily. "Is that your best, salopard?" Attack vs. AC (Lestrade): 1d20+6+3 15 2 damage on a miss. Disengage vs. Lestrade: 1d20 18 Her strike was sloppy, as could be expected, but she managed to unseize her legs long enough to evade away from Lestrade, avoiding a counter-attack. pre:Exclairmonde Stats Commands and Tactics HP 9/36 Rally Now AC 17 You Set Them Up, I Finish PD 14 Basic Tactical Strike [x] MD 14 Try Again Rec 8/8 2d8+2 Outmaneuver [ ] Command Points: 2 Claymore 2d10+4, +6 vs. AC, 2 damage on miss.

Evelyn Winter Seeing that their foes were making them pay for every bit of ground, Evelyn cracked her knuckles and tried to get serious. She gestured towards the Blue Orb Caster, and the ground beneath him erupted in a burst of stones and dirt. Then she made a rather more complicated gesture (one you shouldn't really be able to make with only ten fingers), and the lingering arcane energy from Zyanya's Colour Spray spell swirled and reversed its course, retreating back to Zyanya, where it clung to her, wreathing the gnoll in shifting rainbow patterns of light that strengthened her arcane connections. Target Determination (Force Tentacles): 1d3 2 - Blue Orb Caster Force Tentacles (Attack Roll vs. Blue Orb Caster): 1d20+6+3 26 Force Tentacles (Damage): 1d10+4 9 Spell Determination can be skipped, as a defensive spell is automatically drawn.

Sorry for the early post but I may not be available later today, so I wanted to make sure I had an action prepared. Zyanya Feeling the surge of magic come towards her, Zyanya swung her shotel in a downward arc through the rainbow, reflecting the light into the mage's eyes using the sword as a makeshift prism. The runes marked into the blade begin to glow as it absorbs the energy. With a pivot, Zyanya slashes down with all her might, only using the barest minimum of restraint to avoid cleaving his head into a bloody canyon. The blade scratches down the length of the mage's torso, searing him as the blade slices into his flesh. She even manages to redirect one of the loose rays of light to scorch a segment of that arrogant bastard Lestrade's armor. Flexible Attack on Blue Orb Mage: 1d20+6+3 21 Damage on Blue Orb Mage (Buffed with Heart of the Blade): 2d8+4+3+2 24 Dilettante Spells Adventurer Feat to Fracture Lestrade's armor for -2 AC. Heart of the Blade is an arcane spell, and therefore is influenced by Evelyn's High Weirdness. Fracture, as a Power Word, is one too I suppose. I'll also interrupt any spells cast with Spell Absorption: 1d6 1. Managed to beat the Escalation die so I get an invocation use back if a spell is cast. pre:Zyanya Stats HP 20/36 AC 17 PD 14 MD 14 Rec 8/8 2d8+2 Initiative: +4 LaSalsaVerde fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Sep 29, 2015 |

No! You'll create a time paradox! Nah, in fact I'll go ahead and resolve your turn with the special warp effects. The eruption of stone hurts the mage, but he seems to be invigorated by it. He risks Zyanya's shotel as he prepares another spell, paying for it in a vicious headbutt from the gnoll. But the pain seems to feed into his magic, causing it to grow stronger! Tendrils reach out to more of you, threatening to pressure you further... Except Zyanya grins, opens her maw, and sucks in the magic with a great breath, leaving the orb caster with no magic and looking very confused. As Zyanya revels in the surfeit of arcane power, her attack hits just a little harder, leaving the orb caster even closer to the edge of consciousness. The refracting rays not only put gaps into Lestrade's armor, but strike him in the eyes, leaving him blinking and dazed. Blue Mage casts his spell, drawing an OA from Zyanya 18 hits, 8 damage. Hits against the caster power up his magic! He casts a spell... Spell absorption! Zyanya eats the spell and regains the use of an invocation. (Though I think that's just Song of Steel, as this happens before your posted turn.) Blue Mage looks very sad. Zyanya's warp effects: Heart of the Blade does a bit of extra damage, leaving the Blue Caster at 2 hp. The light from fracture also reduces Lestrades attack bonus by 2. Lestrade is using Focus on Me! Enemies engaged with him that target him with an attack can't target other creatures with that attack. Louise and Annabelle are up! Escalation is at 3! Imgur isn't working for me at the moment, so this is a reminder that I'm working off a google doc Here if you want to check on the state of the fight. pre:Lestrade AC(16) PD16 MD14 59/100 HP Blue Orb Caster AC17 PD13 MD13 2/46 HP GreenTrooper AC18 PD16 MD12 3/36 HP

Louise Septienne Louise's head is ringing, she's seeing double and has a splitting headache after sharing an equal part of the pain Exclairmonde took from the ruthless blow. Lestrade has gone too far, that could've easily been a lethal blow. She grits her teeth and charges at him. "It's hurt o' clock for you, rear end in a top hat!" She angles her shield horizontal and tries to slam it into his throat but she's still feeling dizzy and her aim is off. The strike glances harmlessly off his armor. She brings her shield back and locks eyes with the captain. "Fine then, let's dance." Move to engage Lestrade. Crippling Strike (Lestrade): 1d20+5+3 13 vs AC, miss! 2d8+3 Welp, what a great time to roll maximum damage. One point of resolve refunded from missing with an augmented attack. pre:Louise Septienne Stats Techinques (Resolve) Powers HP 20/40 Crippling Strike (1) {X}[ ][ ][ ] Infernal Smite AC 22(+1 M) Riposte (1) {X} Bastion PD 14 { }{ } Defiance (1) {X} Curse of Chaos MD 16 Re 8/8 2d10+2 Resolve 2/4 Scimitar +5 vs. AC — 2d8+3 Damage

Annabelle tries to stun the visibly hurt trooper with the hilt of her dagger, but the man is still surprisingly nimble and manages to avoid her, only getting a small hit on his helmet. Still, he looks so miserable that she almost feels sorry for him. "Come on man, is all this hurt really worth the satisfaction of hazing a few recruits?"

sorry for the delay, internet wigged out on me. But more annoying is the fact that I can't seem to get on Google Docs at all. Anyway, e X, that rolls so good, I'm gonna reduce the pointless busywork and say the orb mage gives up too. The Trooper rubs his head, looks at the mean looking goblin that still hasn't gone down yet despite the working over she's gotten, and drops his sword. The Mage, staring a spell eating gnoll in the face, evidently decides similarly, fainting dead away. The Captain though, hasn't given up yet. "Bah, and so close to victory. I'll finish this myself!" His flail swings wide again, and even though Louise is able to deflect the blow with her shield, it flies past and strikes Evelyn instead! "Come then! At least I shall go down fighting!" Lestrade attacks Louise, 19 vs AC, miss! (geez) miss effect, 10 damage to Evelyn! Lestrade is using Focus on Me! Enemies engaged with him that target him with an attack can't target other creatures with that attack. Edit: Everyone is up! Escalation is at 4! Anyway, yeah, can't get on Google Docs. Louise is the only one engaged with Lestrade, everyone else is un-engaged. pre:Lestrade AC(16) PD16 MD14 59/100 HP M.c.P fucked around with this message at 10:06 on Oct 1, 2015 |
