Space Hulk

[LordVader]

A massive spaceships hangs in space. It is clearly a derelict. It gives off a massive aura of evil, even from a distance. There are no signs of life.

[Vhaidara]

Draklor approaches, and Cyrus scans it for any forms of life.

[blackout]

Nukular's Phantoms lead the way, Nukular's personal transport in front of them.

Alright, Raiders, let's kick some ass!

[LordVader]

((He will not detect anything.))
There appears to be no sign of life. The stormtrooper captain knows better.
Daemons. They're there.
Thirty Valkyries approach.

[Artemis97]

Raril rides along in one of the other phantoms. "I wonder If I'm going to be able to breathe in there."

[thehothead]

20 more valkeries approach

Whoever's in charge get's a radio message. "Alright <appropriate term for commander> where do we put them?"

[LordVader]

There will be oxygen, but it's not guaranteed. All forces, either cast some kind of breathing spell or put on a helmet with built-in oxygen.

Follow us in.
((I have to leave relatively soon.))

[Vhaidara]

(Shadowbow isn't dead, you know. I'm fairly sure he'd qualify as "life".)

Cyrus turns to the ship
Are there any immunities or weaknesses that I should know about?

[Osnagard]

"Why should there be any trouble breathing? It's not full of water is it?"

((Osnagard knows nothing of space and the lack of oxygen therein))

[LordVader]

No weaknesses. Plenty of immunities. There's no oxygen in space, Osganard.
((The ship really ****s with any scans. It's got warp energy everywhere.))

[blackout]

Nukular takes off the helmet of the rookie, and tosses him out the airlock. You can clearly see him die.

That's what happens when you don't wear an air helmet, or have oxygen magic.

[Artemis97]

Raril starts digging throught he ship for a spare helmet or two. "Well, you know how the air is really thin at the top of a mountain? it's REALLY thin all the way up here, or so I've read. But I'm not taking any chances." He finds two helmets and tosses one to Osnagard, then stares at his own, while nervously touching his hat.

((Who was it that bet the rookie wouldn't live? I think they just won some coin))

[Osnagard]

"Interesting..."
As a test he re-animates the body into a zombie, which the outerspace apparently has no effect on.
"This is good to know"

Edit:

Osnagard catches the helmet, he know what it is, and what it's for now... but looks at the strange see through metal of the face pannel curiously. It seems hard enough, so he puts it on.

[thehothead]

The valkeies follow

Illusion Haydn appears in Nukulars ship.

I feel like I'm about to deadtime I'm transfering command of my forces to you.

[Draken]

Draken's swarm of constructs aproach the vessel, staying near their comrades.

(deadtime for about 15~20 minutes, if the battle starts, the army will begin to shoot. whatever you do, don't stay in the path of the Annihilators.
Don't.

Edit: Back.)

[blackout]

Understood.

[Vhaidara]

(Is no one curious about how Cyrus is sitting out there without magic or a helmet?)

[LordVader]

@Draken
((You don't understand. We'll be in cramped hallways, not wide-open areas.))

[thehothead]

(I'm pretty sure that those things could just MAKE wide open areas.)

The illusion of haydn deadtimes.

(Dinner)

[Artemis97]

(Bahamut's blessing? And my original thought was plain old magic)

Raril watches the poor rookie be reanimated and quickly throws off his hat and sticks the helmet on his head. He then takes the feathered hat and carefully places it into his bag.

Edit:((I just remembered another thing about space: Massive Decompression. The poor rookie should have exploded or something by now, but we'll ignore that, because it's no fun :smalltongue: ))

[Vhaidara]

(You know far too much. And if all else fail, Draklor can get even bigger. In fact, why wait?)

Draklor begins to grow, until he is much bigger than the Space Hulk.

[Osnagard]

Osnagard catches the helmet, he know what it is, and what it's for now... but looks at the strange see through metal of the face pannel curiously. It seems hard enough, so he puts it on.

"And comunication is still possible correct?", he asks, noticing that there are no holes to the outside.

[LordVader]

@Bookboy
((So he's now eight miles by five miles? I call godmodding. No.:smallannoyed:))

[Artemis97]

"Well I can hear you, can you hear me?"

[Vhaidara]

(Hey, he's got the blessing of the Dragon god. It's in the character page that he can grow to whatever size he wants.)

[LordVader]

((That's still ridiculous.))

[Artemis97]

((Dude, even for a Dragon, 5 miles is waaay too big. I don't think Bahamut himself is that size))

[Vhaidara]

(But legal.:smalltongue: Talk to the character page. )

[LordVader]

((The space hulk is eight miles long, four wide, five tall. Please don't godmod like that.))

[blackout]

((No, bookboy.))

[Vhaidara]

(Fine. He's only as big as he would need to be to rip a very large gash in it.)

[Artemis97]

((it's not technically godmodding, as he's not controlling anyone else's character in anyway. It's just being silly, and as for Shadowbow's armor, I'd have called it plot protected, not godmoded, but I think that debate's over *shrugs*))

[LordVader]

((Still no. That's miles long, and he's not strong enough.))

[Osnagard]

"Yes, perfectly"

Osnagard suddenly decides that he doesn't want to risk extinguishing the fire golem, and so it stays on board

"Care to stick together? This One thinks that two mele fighters will have a better chance than one against those things."

He points to a gun being held by a nearby soldier.

[Vhaidara]

(Hey, if he can't rip a large gash in it, what's he supposed to do? If Shadowbow and Baron Law had godmod armor, then you've been godmodding these daemon thing and everything related to them.:smallmad:. And deadtime for an hour and a half. )

[Artemis97]

Raril sounds nervous. "You think they'll have guns? I can't dodge bullets!" Raril somehow manages to walk into the ship's bulkhead. SMACK. "Ow"
"Get a hold of yourself, you'll be fine. You're a military genious remember? And, Osnagard, We'd love to stick with you."

[blackout]

((These things have docking bays, right?))

[Osnagard]

((They're the enemy, they're supposed to be absurdly stronger than us, that way a single character can't take it out... normally. I realize that those two characters were also bad guys, but they took no effect what-so-ever, I assume that the ship is big, but still damagable, the guys a strong, but killable))

[LordVader]

((Bookboy, then I have to deadtime for the night. Sadly, we'll have to finish this tomorrow. And we're boarding it. And I am not godmodding these daemons, I am taking them straight from the 40k rules.))

((There's bays. And they are killable. But a dragon's not going to be able to rip a hole in a massive ship designed to withstand shells the size of buildings.))

[Osnagard]

"Well they have a ship like this right? Only makes sense they'd use similar weaponry."

Osnagard tries to stifle a chuckle at the accitential collision.

[blackout]

All units circle the ship, find the docking bays.

[Draken]

(I'm back, and Haydn is right, annihilators took the name of the item that inspired it, the Orb of Annihilation, they can make wide open areas if needed, not very different of blasting a place up, just faster and less noisy.

Also: Like Artemis said, godmoding is when you take control over someone else, with no permition, if you are DMing a plot, it can be called "plot armour" or just "you can't beat it now, wait the proper time." Right now, a Dragon with the size of a mountain is silly, but not godmoding.)

Draken sends forth a magic sensor, to scout the vessel.

[LordVader]

Moving in.
The sensor may detect something, but it's not clear what it is.

[Artemis97]

((ookay, so of those who aren't deadtimed, who's up for a random trip to Trog's? until tomorrow I guess.... or not, It seem's we're moving))

Raril shakes his head to clear it. "Well they're demons. When I think Demons I don't think guns, but these ones are different, so I have no idea." He shrugs, kind of helplessly.

[Osnagard]

((I'm in, er.. out... at Trog's))

((nevermind))

[Artemis97]

Raril tests out the breathing in his helmet.
"Luke...I am your Father."
"What?"
"I don't know. It just felt right"

[blackout]

((Ack. Gotta go.))

Nukular's soldiers all fall under the commanding officer of the IG's control, and Nukular himself falls into deadtime.

[LordVader]

((Unfortuantely, he is deadtimed as well.))
This thread is now deadtimed, feel free to go to Trogs or back to Town, my ships will take you there. But don't take the Hulk in my absence, as you don't know what the opposition is.

[Artemis97]

Raril suddenly wonders why the ship isn't moving and taps on the controls. "It looks like they're all deadtimed. Let's go to Trog's until they all wake up." He opens a container and pulls out a few teleport scrolls, tosses one to Osnagard, then dissappears with a slight 'pop'

[Osnagard]

Osnagard also dissapears with a *pop* leaving the helmet precisely where it was, floating in the ship.

[Vhaidara]

I've waited long enough! Anyone in there could have died by now! I'm attacking!
CHARGE!
Draklor begins an attack on the spave hulk, and Cyrus jumps off his back, landing on the ship.

[LordVader]

The IG ships move in.
((Landing on the ship? And how big is Draklor?))

[Vhaidara]

(Draklor is about twice as big as a great wyrm gold dragon, aka his standard open space combat size. And Cyrus jumped off Draklor and onto the Space Hulk.)

[LordVader]

((He's not going to be able to get in from the outside. And that would put Draklor like ~half-mile, right?))

[Vhaidara]

(I don't know, but he goes to that size a lot. And Cyrus has Spider Climb, so he can just walk around on the ship until he finds an entrance.)

[Draken]

Draken and Sliver reapear in fornt of their army.

Is it going to begin now?

[LordVader]

Cyrus will find that all of the airlocks, etc, are shut. The Guard move in to blow the entrance to the landing bay. ((Draken is still on the transports with his army, right?))

[Vhaidara]

Cyrus backs away so that they can make the enterance.

[LordVader]

Several shells blow open the airlock, you can see a rush of air out of the bay.
Go, go, go!
((Draklor can be about gargantuan size in the bay, but will have to shrink to Large once we move further in.))

[Vhaidara]

Cyrus leaps in, pulling Shimmer and readying himself to cast spells. Draklor shrinks to just small enough to fit inside, then grows to as big as the inside will let him.

[Draken]

(No, my army is standing in open space, like a swarm of angry wasps)

Draken speaks to Raneus.

One of the Anihilators could make the entrance pretty silently, so we could keep whatever surprise advantage we might still have.

[blackout]

The Blackout Raider transports move in, landing in the open bays. The soldiers seal their suits and jump out of the transports.

[LordVader]

Dozens of Stormtroopers leap out into the bay. Their leader, a stormtrooper major, follows.
He notes the eerie silence and the feeling of...wrongness.
He turns.
Stay on your guard. We're in the belly of the beast.

[Vhaidara]

Cyrus moves forward, while Draklor follows about 50 feet behind him. Despite his size, Draklor is incredibly hard to see and hear. His armor makes him appear almost like glass.

(Tons of special abilities, but not invincible.)

[blackout]

Nukular steps out of one Phantom, arming all of his weapons. Alright, standard sweep formation, full-spread, and be on your guard. We don't want a repeat of the taco incident.

[Vhaidara]

Why do I not want to know...

[blackout]

Trust me, it's best if you don't know. Let's just say that it was one UGLY taco.

[LordVader]

((The daemons will still be able to sense him. I repeat, these are nothing like D&D daemons.))
Most of the stormtroopers are now in the bay, along with several psykers.

[blackout]

Major, I'd like a few psykers to come with my men, to keep casualties low. Just because Crimson is a shade of red doesn't make my soldiers redshirts.

[Vhaidara]

(What would they sense? Life essence? Soul?)

[LordVader]

((Pretty much.))
This is going to be very dangerous for the psykers.
All stormtroopers are now in.

[Vhaidara]

(Which one? If it's soul, the armor blocks out such power. They wouldnt be able to sense him. Life essence, they would sense Draklor, but not Cyrus. And it would give only a faint hint of his power.)

[LordVader]

((It's kind of hard to explain, even I'm not really sure. They'll be able to sense him faintly, then. And please don't make them too uber, or I'll be forced to pull out the really big daemons, and I really, really don't want to.:smallsmile:))
A stormtrooper squad begins to wire all exits from the bay for demolition.

[blackout]

The Blackout Raiders drag what looks like a Nuclear Tactical Bomb from the cargo bay of Nukular's Phantom.

[Vhaidara]

(Don't worry, the armor is only +5 equivilent for armor purposes, but gives them a ton of special abilities to fill in for things they lack. Example: Draklor's makes him like a giant chameleon, because big dragons are very easy to see. Cyrus' let's him change into a human, because white half-dragons tend to attract attention.)

An explosion rocks the ship.

[LordVader]

((That's fine. I just want this to reflect how difficult it actually is.))
The stormtroopers finsih putting krak charges on the doors.
Get clear! We're moving right after they blow!
@ Nukular
No nukes, please. Too close quarters.

[blackout]

The soldiers carrying the bomb freeze, along with everyone else.


((Deadtime for now))

[Vhaidara]

(See my edit.)

Cyrus and Draklor ready themselves fo another explosion.

[Draken]

(btw, Raneus, remember the Magic sensor I sent before? It wasen't supposed to "sense" magic or the presence of life forms, it was actually like a flying camera.)

The Annihilators move into the hull of the Hulk [lol?] and use their weapons to make [rellatively] small holes for the rest of the army to go into. They do so in spaces that the previous magic sensor affirmed there are no enemies near.

Draken, Sliver and the Annihilators stay in orbit. Only the Missile Golems enter.

[LordVader]

((Should we wait for the Blackout Raiders? Your call.))

[Vhaidara]

(No, we already waited. And see my edit.)

[LordVader]

((I saw it. Are you referring to my bombs, or something else?))

[Vhaidara]

(Something else. Something very different. This rocked the entire ship.)

[LordVader]

The stormtroopers look around, wondering what could've caused it.
((It is an eight-mile-long ship, you'd better be sure whatever this is can rock it.))

[Vhaidara]

(I'm sure. That was Shadowbow. He's changed a lot. Got a few psyker levels. Combined them with his bow. Ever heard of the Big Bang? This was basicly about half as strong, and very localized.)

[LordVader]

((:smallannoyed: Of course, by using something that strong, he now atttacts an incredible amount of daemons to his mind in the Warp.))
If it is indeed Shadowbow who used that psychic power, all sorts of powerful daemons are now attacking his mind and soul itself, due to his lack of training and the sheer power of the ability used.

[Vhaidara]

(It was mostly the bow. He just used a minor bit of psyker power to amplify localize it.)

[LordVader]

((Still though, with his untrained mind, he has just made a terrible mistake. I'm dead serious, untrained psykers are like beacons in the Warp, and draw all sorts of daemons. Also, it's impossible to "gain levels" in Psyker, you have to be born with it.))
The stormtroopers now look slightly puzzled.

[Vhaidara]

(With psionic powers? Because he had some minor psionic abilities.)
Cyrus charges toward the source of the explosion, as does Draklor.

[LordVader]

They are immediately ambushed by daemons. Dozens of them appear out of nowhere, and begin to attack. The stormtroopers open fire at them.
((In Town, there's no danger, but this close to the Warp, for an untrained mind to be using them, is not good. Jarus can later train him to shield his mind if you want.))
((Deadtime, please wait for me to come back before continuing.:smallsmile:))

[Vhaidara]

(Shadowbow knows how to protect his mind.)

Cyrus releases the power of his missle storm, while Draklor lashes out with all his might.

(Missle Storm is a spell a made. It's a combo of Chain Missle fromt the Spell Compendium and Issac's Greater Missle Storm from Neverwinter Nights. In short, around 50 magic missles.)

[blackout]

The Blackout Raiders come out of deadtime and open fire on the things.

[LordVader]

Many of them die. More appear behind the BRs, holding giant axes. The Stormtroopers advance and begin firing. About ten demons make it to Cyrus and Draklor, though. They begin to hack away with their giant axes (which ignore convential, non-magical armor.)

[Vhaidara]

(I never said this stuff wasn't magic. I just said it wasn't inpenetrable.)

Most of the attacks bounce off the armor, and those that don't just cause bruising through the armor. Cyrus lashes out with Shimmer, shouting a word that makes the blade refract all light, and release it in a concentrated blast at the daemons. Draklor does what big dragons do best: hit stuff hard.

[LordVader]

(I know their armor was magical, I was just noting that they do that for future reference.)
Draklor crushes three daemons. Cyrus kills four more.
Many more daemons keep materializing out of nowhere and charging. Some of them look much different from the first ones. They begin to throw balls of fire from their hands.

[Vhaidara]

A roar eminates from deep in the ship. The distraction allows one blow to land solidly on Cyrus. Draklor, however, is lost in the battle. He releases his deadliest weapon against swarming foes: His icy breath. Cyrus continues slashing.

[LordVader]

The ice breath consumes many of the original daemons. However, the new, pinkish-bluish ones hurl fire, burning away the attacks on them. They run for Draklor. The stormtroopers engage some of the Bloodletters(ones with axes) behind the BR soldiers, blowing a few away. An answering roar comes from within the ship as well.

[Vhaidara]

(That wasn't Draklor. Let's just say Shadowbow hasn't got long.)

Draklor realizes from his link with Cyrus that the first roar was that of a wounded dragon. Cyrus vaults onto Draklor, slashing at daemons below him while he does, and Draklor begins to rush towards the first roar.

[LordVader]

(I know it wasn't Draklor.)
The Horrors (pink ones) hurl fire at him as he rushes overhead. The stormtroopers rush forwards, engaging the Horrors. Many on both sides go down.
((PM me and tell me what, exactly, you want Shadowbow to be fighting.))
(Also, there's a little suprise for Draklor and Cyrus a bit down the corridor.:smallamused:)

[blackout]

The BR soldiers seem to be completely at ease fighting these things, firing into the swarms of daemons, some grinning with pure, unrestrained glee.

[Vhaidara]

Draklor keeps moving towards the sound. Cyrus readies another blast of magic.

(Same spell, but all the missles will hit one target.)

[LordVader]

Unfortunately, they are beginning to die under the Bloodletters's massive axes. More Bloodletters and Horrors appear. Dozens of stormtroopers are dead on the floor by now, either burned or with massive rents in their armor.
(Shields will not work due to the nature of a space hulk.)
A massive Bloodthirster of Khorne bursts through a wall, slamming into Draklor and swinging it's axe.

[blackout]

Nukular joins the fight personally. His weapons array activates, and he opens fire on the daemons, wielding a pair of railguns, a fusion blaster, two rocket launchers, a pulse-chaingun, a twin-linked lascannon(ripped off of a Predator tank his people stole from some Space Marines), and a really big gun designated the Hypercannon. With all this, he's bound to hurt something.

Meanwhile, a BR soldier grins at a stormtrooper. "This is WAY better than patrol duty!"

[Vhaidara]

Draklor avoids the axe and moves behind it in one deft motion. Cyrus releases the spell, and Draklor his claws, wings, tail, mouth and breath all at once.

[LordVader]

The spell slams into the Bloodthirster. It avoids some of the missiles, and catches some of the other ones on it's axe. It takes the damage from the remaining missiles, but it doesn't appear to be fazed. Draklor doesn't appear to be fazing it either. Several cuts open, but do not seem severe. It swings its axe with superhuman speed at the dragon, while attempting to slam into it again.

Nukular slaughters several dozen Bloodletters. Twenty Horrors begin hurling fireballs at him. A pair of Flamers appear, and begin to hose down the BR soldiers and stormtroopers with magical fire. There are still Bloodletters in the BR and IG lines, slaughtering soldiers.
((Deadtime, I have no choice. This'll have to wait until tomorrow, sorry.:smallfrown:))

[Vhaidara]

Draklor blinks away, and attacks again, as does Cyrus.

(Actually, all the missles hit. Magic Missle is an auto-hit, no save, no roll. Just Spell Resistence.)

[blackout]

Engaging Hypercannon, EVERYONE DOWN!A huge beam of red plasma fires from the hypercannon, and Nukular fires a massive stream of fire and just aims in the general direction of the daemons. He ducks the fireballs, and uses his more precise weapons to pick off anything outside the range of the Hypercannon.

The infantry, on the other hand, all just focus on killing daemons and staying alive.

[LordVader]

Most of the missiles impact but fail to hurt the bloodthirster at all. A few impact, but really don't do a lot of damage. If Draklor is attacking, the Bloodthirster swings its axe and it's huge whip at him. The whip is longer-ranged then Draklor's claws are. Nukular kills most of the surviving daemons- however, there are still a number of Bloodthirsters in the BR lines. They are all wounded, however.

[Vhaidara]

Draklor is struck the moment before he can blink away, making it a glancing blow from the axe, but is hit full on by the whip. He decides discretion is the better part of valor, and continues flying towards the first roar. He moves much faster this time.

(Sorry, I only just got up:smallbiggrin: .)

[Draken]

Staring at the battle with his magic sensors (that are effectively eyes, like the Greater Scrying or Clairvoyance) Draken gives orders to the Annihilator battalion to target the daemons inside the ship, the Golems fi thenselves on the outer hull, and fire the nullblasts at the enemys inside.

(Consider a Desintegrate Spell, but its area of effect is the same of a Lightning bolt and the range is the needed one)

Draken also direct the Missile Golems that probably are inside the ship to go look for Shadowbow, and kill any daemons they find.

Draken himself keeps flying outside of the ship, scrying the area, looking for weak spots to blast, that sort of thing.

[LordVader]

The Annihilators are having trouble breaking through the hull. They would do better to land inside. The Bloodthirster spreads its wings and sprints/flies after Draklor, swinging the whip.
((don't expect anything else for a while, sorry.:smallfrown:))

[Vhaidara]

Due to his speed, Draklor is able to avoid the whip. He turns a corner into the room that the roar had come from. There stands a man. His spiky hair is a bright orange, his armor appears to be made of red scales, his sword is a deep blue, and his spear is mild yellow. Only his bow shows that this is indeed Shadowbow. He is covered in blood.

[LordVader]

He is facing a massive Greater Daemon known as a Keeper of Secrets. Dead Horrors are strewn everywhere about him.
((deadtime, sorry.:smallfrown: ))

[Vhaidara]

The bow disappears, and Shadowbow lunges at it with spear, sword, and mind. His mind is protected, as always, by a rerouter into Xan's mind.

[LordVader]

Mind will avail him none, as the Greater Daemon is his equal, if not better, in psychic power. It bats away the spear and sword as well. It lashes out with it's own mind, and also with it's massive weapons. The Bloodthirster will sprint in as well.

[Vhaidara]

Draklor turns to strike the Bloodthirster the moment it enters, while Cyrus prepares to cast his most powerful spell, Meteor Storm.

(It's a fusion of Meteor Swarm and Missle Storm.)

Shadowbow shrugs off the mental attack and the weapons bounce off his armor. He redoubles the ferocity of his assault.

(He and Slishhtak made a bargain, and are now acting as one. add Slishhtak's stats to his, and he should be kicking some serious butt.)

[LordVader]

((You underestimate a Greater Daemon.))
Before Cyrus can cast the spell, the Bloodthirster lashes out at him with his axe and whip. Several Bloodletters appear behind Cyrus and attack him as well. The Keeper of Secrets, realizing Shadowbow's armor is too strong, attempts to pick him up and drag him back into a Warp portal that is opening up near them. It takes several wounds, but the weapons are just too small to faze it.

[Vhaidara]

From Shadowbow eminates a roar that should deafen some of the BR soldiers. He begins to change into the form of Slishhtak.

(Slishhtak IS the size of the ship, since dragons grow throughtout their life, and he was well over 5 million.)

Draklor shakes off any daemons that appear on him, while using his tail to swat away the axe. Cyrus continues the spell while slashing at the whip with Shimmer.

[LordVader]

((That's fine, but by doing that, he kills all of the allies on the ship, not the daemons. They'll be fine.))
If he hits the axe with his tail, it's going to hurt him.
The whip knocks Shimmer away and continues straight at Cyrus.
((It's not a normal whip.))
The Bloodthirster attempts to swing the axe again.
While he is beginning to change, the Keeper of Secrets attempts to hurl him into the portal.
Many more Horrors and Bloodletters appear, most of them rushing Cyrus and Draklor, since Shadowbow's armor is too strong for them.
((Ba'al's not going to be happy that that armor's back.))

[Vhaidara]

(Actually, Gnrlshrimp removed Ba'al from the Town. Read the Town's Grave thread. And it's gone as soon as hes away from the Warp.)
Shadowbow uses his wings to propel himself away from the portal, and his new hind claws to kick the Keeper of Secrets in.

Draklor's tail is unharmed by the axe (I never said it was going to be easy to pierce. Scales of Bahamut mixed with mithril and adamantine still ain't magic, but it is hard to pierce.). Shimmer, also not being a normal weapon, doesn't leave Cyrus hand (Godmod!), and continues through the whip. Cyrus releases his spell, and calls the command word from earlier. All light in the ship vanishes into Shimmer, and is magnified into the Bloodthirster.
(Shimmer is made of Celestia Crystal, one of the strongest substance in existence.)

(And Shadowbow is going into a very large half dragon form.)

[LordVader]

((Sorry 'bout the godmod.))
The whip, not being a normal weapon, is not cut through either.
The Bloodthirster puts all its force behind the axe, and swings. The axe is clearly not a normal weapon, and it crackles with massive amounts of daemonic energy.
The Keeper of Secrets dodges the kick.
Also, since there is no light in the ship, none goes into Shimmer.
Meteor Storm pounds the daemon. The first few fly out and slam into it, some wounding, some not, due to it's daemonic nature. The Keeper of Secrets then creates a forcefield in front of the Bloodthirster that takes up the whole corridor, directly in front of the oncoming meteors.

[Vhaidara]

(Yeah, I didn't think that was a normal axe. Things that big tend not to be normal:smalltongue: . And also, meteors tend to be on fire, which tends to create light. Note that he used Sgimmer's blast AFTER casting Meteor Storm.)

Shadowbow charges the Keeper of Secrets again, only now they are the same size. Draklor grows so that he is as big as the Bloodthirster, and strikes again.

[LordVader]

The blast of light also smashes into the forcefield. It sputters, but holds (A Keeper of Secrets is incredibly powerful.) Draklor is currently on the other side of it, and thus will have to batter it down before attacking the Bloodthirster.
Terror and malice begin to ooze from the warp portal, which begins to expand drastically. Something is coming.
((I would suggest leaving, fast. This'll give Shadowbow a run for his money.))
The Keeper of Secrets charges Shadowbow as well, creating a forcefield around itself.

[Vhaidara]

Shadowbow finishes the change into a dragon, and smashes his way through anything between himself and the exit, growing all along. Draklor and Cyrus follow in the carnage behind him.

[LordVader]

The warp portal expands to a massive size. The tip of a massive sword protrudes. The Keeper of Secrets raises a forcefield in front of the exit, and the Bloodthirster charges Draklor, and will attack with its axe and whip.

[Vhaidara]

(This is the full power of Slishhtak. I meant he smashes straight through any such forecfields. And Cyrus and Draklor are practically on his back.)

[LordVader]

((Deadtime))

[Vhaidara]

(Damnit! Filler.)

[LordVader]

A massive figure, cloaked in darkness, emerges from the portal. It sprints after the group attempting to escape. It gives off an aura of horror and malice, and should shake Draklor and Cyrus. It carries a sword that approaches thirty feet long. It is moving much faster then the group, and is leaving massive dents in the deck as it goes.
((This is a Daemon Prince.))
The Bloodthirster and Keeper of Secrets follow the Daemon Prince.
Seeing them fleeing, and the horror chasing them, the stormtroopers sprint for the spacecraft.
((It's safe to assume that Nukular and the BR do as well.))

[blackout]

Nukular runs for it, along with the rest of them.

Simmons, Mendoza, plant the bomb! Everyone else, run for it!

Two soldiers bring out the nuke that was there earlier, and plant it, setting it for five minutes.((Five posts))

LET'S GO!

The BRs are by now on the Phantoms and lift off.

[LordVader]

((Five posts doesn't seem to be enough time, as for Bookboy and I, they only cover a few seconds. Also, this one doesn't count. And a tactical nuke won't destroy the ship.))

[blackout]

((Not aiming to blow up the ship. Just to blow up the seriously dangerous stuff, like the Daemon Prince. Also, fine ten posts.))

[LordVader]

((Still, depending on how fast the action goes, probably not enough. A by-posts limit is bad, as posts usually aren't time-relative to one another.))

[blackout]

((Ah. Alright. It's just I've used this method once before, and it worked very, very well before.))

[LordVader]

((It may, but the thing is, since "fight" posts tend to cover a few seconds of action, it seems like it wouldn't accurately represent the time.))

[Vhaidara]

(Cyrus and Draklor are immune to fear auras. That's a benefit of having one.)

Shadowbow, Draklor, and Cyrus burst out of the ship.

[blackout]

The Phantoms lift off, as the nuke ticks down.

[LordVader]

The Daemon Prince follows, as do the Bloodthirster and Keeper of Secrets.
The Valkyries pull away from the bay, and the Imperial Guard warships open fire on the Space Hulk.

[thehothead]

((Sorry for the very VERY long deadtime. I would have helped otherwise.))

[blackout]

The nuke goes off, wiping out anything in the bay, and down a few corridors.

[Vhaidara]

Shadowbow, still badly wounded, begins to lose conciousness and change back.
He needs help! In his human form he wont be able to breathe!

[blackout]

A Phantom immediately moves in and picks him up.

[LordVader]

The Daemon Prince hurtles straight for Shadowbow and the transport carrying him. The Keeper of Secrets and Bloodthirster follow. The Keeper of Secrets attempts to rip apart it's engines with psychic powers. If that fails, the Bloodthirster hurls its axe at them, and it will home in.

[Vhaidara]

Cyrus calls upon Bahamut to hear his plea. A giant forcefield, far stronger than any generated by a daemon appears around the Space Hulk, shuting the Daemon Prince inside. Draklor uses the powers he learned while with the gem dragons to block any psionic attacks on the transport.

[blackout]

Transport Pilot: *sees the axe incoming in the rear view mirrors. Mirrors say 'objects in mirror are trying to kill you.'* Oh, son of a-*axe hits, transport explodes*

[LordVader]

But since they're already out of the Space Hulk, it doesn't affect them. If it's still closed around them, for whatever reason, they open a pair of warp portals, one next to the transport, and cross through, emerging right in front of it. The Daemon Prince swings his sword, the Bloodthirster and Keeper attack the engines.((so basically, what Blackout just said happened still happens.))

[Vhaidara]

Draklor speeds toward Shadowbow. Luckily, Shadowbow's change is rather slow, but Draklor catches him, and begins speeding towards the surface of the planet.

(When I say "around", that means an area around it.)

[LordVader]

((We're millions of miles away from Town. You need a spaceship to get back. Also ,see my edit about bypassing the force field.))
The daemons portal again, emerging in front of Draklor.

[Vhaidara]

Cyrus does likewise, teleporting into the Town.

(Draklor can move at over Mach10 when he needs to and Cyrus is using his magic.)

[LordVader]

((Mach Ten is like 50,000 miles an hour. That's nowhere near fast enough. We're millions of miles away, far out of the standard Teleport spell range.))

[Vhaidara]

(Three words: Epic Caster Level.)

[blackout]

((Face it, man. Space is a cruel mistress. Arrr.))

[Vhaidara]

(Hey, Cyrus and Draklor are beat, Shadowbow is so exhausted he's nearly dead, and LordVader brings in some uber god-slaying abomination. I think I'm allowed to bend o few rules to save three of my character's lives.)

[LordVader]

((Never mind))
The valkyries pull away.
The Daemons hang in space, trying to figure out where they went.
((He's still nothing compared to Shadowbow and that @!#%ing armor!!))

[blackout]

((****berries. Good going. :smallannoyed: Now the town has to deal with a trio of top-notch daemons from the depths of the Warp. Yep. Fun.))

((To quote LordVader, nevcer mind. :smallamused: ))

[Vhaidara]

(Teleport means any teleportation spell. I'm pretty sure some of them only require you to have been there. Also, never mind which part? And as I said, Shadowbow is unconcious! He can't do ****! How are we supposed to beat him?)

[LordVader]

((See my edit. It's pretty obvious the daemons aren't doing anything.))
The daemons note the Base-ship and fly towards it. :belkar:
((Don't worry, they're not going to make it there.))

[blackout]

So...ya want we should shoot them with the Base-ship?

((:smallamused: Oh, your evil.))

[Vhaidara]

(I asked for one, which would have been handled by Cyrus, Draklor, and Shadowbow. You give me three, one of which would take Shadowbow at full power to beat.)

[LordVader]

The daemons, suddenly seeing the rather large Ion Cannon, open a warp portal and disappear.
((Bookboy, you didn't read my edit, did you. Also, one would not have been a challenge, seeing as they were all epic level. I brought the third one out because the other two couldn't even hurt your characters, despite the daemons massive levels of power. What we just did doesn't even normally happen. Usually, they use Space Marines. Space Marine Terminators.))

[Vhaidara]

(I know. I was on a roll with that.)

[blackout]

((You mean rather large dual Ion Cannons. :smallbiggrin: ))

[LordVader]

((I'd just like to say again, I brought the third one, which didn''t even do anything, because somehow, Draklor and Cyrus beat a Greater Daemon and only got a few dents in their armor.:smallannoyed: Not exactly realistic. ANd this wasn't even a challenge for them. You don't understand exactly how hard this is supposed to be.))
The Valkyries head for the base-ship.

[Vhaidara]

(Hey, I let one of the little guys hit. Next time, give me any additional weapon effects. I have seen people that won't tell you about a certain weapon's uber effect until after you say it hit.)

[LordVader]

((Yeah, that happened to me with FE "cruise" missiles that turned out to have nukes, but it was legit, and masterfully done. I was impressed. There are no additional effects, besides the fact that it's a massive axe/whip crackling with daemonic energy. And somehow, it just bounces off a dragon's tail, which, even reinforced with mithril, should've taken some damage. Mithril's not strong enough to resist a weapon that powerful. Also, if one of the little guys managed to hit, the big guy should've, and more.))

[Vhaidara]

(And adamantine, the same stuff that's in Wolverine's bones, and the actual scale of a god! And I never said it didn't hurt, I just said it didn't phase him. It would take the removal of a leg to phase Draklor.)

[LordVader]

((Wolverine wouldn't stand a chance against this.:smallamused:))

[blackout]

((Wolverine would get vaporized. Trust me on that.))

[Vhaidara]

(I know, that was just a reference. By the way, adamantine is legally harder than mithril.)

[Draken]

(Ok, I'm back but quit elost track of action, what happened?

And how in the hells, the great blast of utter unexistance can't affect the hull of a ship? That thing should make holes in the very existance, it's a scar in the very tisuo of reality, and I'm just using it to make a hole, but I don't really care, just like to complain, ignore everything you read in this paragrapher.

Also, LV, why the bold text?

I will add some action when I know what is the scenary.)

[blackout]

((Fight's over. Everyone's gone.))

[LordVader]

((I was bolding something to emphasize it, that's what it's used for. And while they were doing some damage to the ship, these hulls are extremely strong, and it was amplified with the Warp, which messes with pretty much everything.))

[Draken]

(riiiiight...

curses, yet, another time I lost the action...)

Whatever... Everyone is gone, so.

The whole group teleport.
