"Aww Sug, that's cute and all, but do you really want to hurt little old me?" she chews on her thumbnail adorably, and around her a wailing wall of desperate souls fades into existence. Some of them flit past Zefir's ears and rest on his shoulders, murmuring and moaning at him.
"Please don't kill us. Protect us. Don't kill me. Bring no harm. Please, please please." on and on in an endless sanity smothering loop. They seem to be appealing to his very soul, and he should begin to feel pity for the creature before him.

Prometheus is grabbed, releasing the longsword, and steel claws spring from his fingers. Snarling, he tries to tear open Jakob's chest, his claws every bit as sharp as the longsword, and rip out the thug's heart.

For a moment it seems like he holds down this weapon, but then the vampire thing starts ti com closer.
"Screw the rules."
He holds up aim fast and shoots. the rocket flying over to the succubus. (Don't worry this is not a lethal rocket and never was)
After the shot he throws the rocket launcher against Karyana and makes some steps back.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

The launcher doesn't really impede Karyana; she's moving superhumanly fast, so she has a good amount of momentum on her side, and it's not really harmful through the scales.

The succubus will attempt to wrap her arms around Stu and dive off the couch, dragging him with her unless he gets free of her grasp. Then she'll release him and draw her fencing foil. "Now I'm sure you didn't mean that Sug, why can't we all play nice and talk about this huh? I'll be sure to make it worth your while..."
(Jakob)
Jakob yells out gleefully and fling his other arm to the side, hurling the sword out of his wound and to a far corner of the room, before wrapping it over his other arm to apply more pressure to the hold. He's trying to pin Prometheus' arms and crush his ribs. The claws do a respectable amount of superficial damage, quickly pulling away the charred flesh before meeting a wall of muscle that slows their progress significantly. It may take awhile to reach the heart at this rate.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

There's a crunching sound like bones dislocating, and Prometheus grimaces, using his smaller size to his advantage in order to twist out of the bear hug, landing on his feet and dodging back. Kay, attacking Jakob appears to be pointless, but his armor is apparently some sort sort of weak spot.
Prometheus draws and unpins a flash grenade, and waits.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
I'm not certain how Prometheus figured that out, but I'm willing to handwave since Jakob gave him a fairly big clue.
Jakob seems very pleased with this fight, the wounds on his chest and arm bleeding heavily. "Girly Man is not quite so girly, if he is willing to get his hands dirty now and then." Jakob plants a massive hand to either side of himself and slams them into the floor, grabbing great fistfuls of carpet and stone before stepping back a few paces into a crouch. Then he slings himself forward like a cannonball shot from a great russian bombard, flying feet first at his opponent.

When the shrapnel flies past Cyrus' head, he makes his move. To all appearances, a piece of shrapnel flies right into the soul jars, shattering them both and disrupting Cyrus spell, resulting in a blast of Hellfire directly to his own face.
In reality, Cyrus attempts to teleport both Soul Jars to the Ebon Citadel (Cyrus' Fortress in Outside), leaving the illusions behind to be shattered and fade away, scattered to fine dust by the burst of hellfire (which really did backfire) and the Shrapnel Blast.

Yeah, Jakob did kind of give the game away. Plus, Prometheus is used to fighting people who's powers come from artifacts.:smalltongue:

Jakob, in an amazing feat of dexterity, crashes into a wall. The grenade is snatched out of the air, crushed, and detonates in his fist. The burst of light doesn't appear to do anything, but the ringing sound (standard flash grenades are usually flashbangs, which are more effective so I'm assuming this is what he threw) appears to disorient him temporarily. As such, he doesn't approach at his normal insane speeds, but rather lurches towards the prone Prometheus, wobbling slightly. He raises a mighty fist.

The laser tags Jakob in the side of the head, and a faint smell of bacon sizzles up as it scores a shallow dime sized hole above his ear. He twitches his head to the side to let it pass him, and it draws a line back across his bald head.
Then he grins down at Cyrus, puffing out his chest in a way that sends blood spurting out of the ruined hole above his heart.
"World Ender is forgetting that it was Girly Man who is losing your barganing chips. But no matter, Jakob will play with World Ender later, I am wanting to hear Girly Man's answer. Then we shall see if you can dance with a bull."

Prometheus is already back on his feet by the time Jakob hits the wall. "I have no intention of backing down, and I certainly won't be losing to you. You can surrender though, and you will if you're a wise man. Which I doubt." He says, at the same time taking advantage of Jakob's distraction and disorientation to lunge at the unbodied, attempting to tear the chains on Jakob's chest to shreds with a swipe of his razor sharp claws.

Jakob loses five links of chain, but this doesn't seem to slow him down noticably. The pain of it knocks him out of of funk, and he reaches up and tries to grab Prometheus by the wrists as they pass across his chest. If he gets him, he'll try to break Prometheus' arms like twigs
"You have much to learn friend. We Fiske have a saying. Whenever you're in trouble, Mama Rita will be there."
What's this? An unexepected power boost! Jakob's muscles bulge and knot, veins sticking out around his neck and his forehead breaking out into sweat. Ladies and gentleman, I think you got him angry.

The rocket is indeed a glue roket and it should cover the succubus in it's glue, what would cause her to be immobolized. It's up to reinhold if Stu may also got hit. Oh and you smell that? Smells like oil or something.
So Zefir has no chance to escape the vampire, but befor he got graped by him he was able to grab into his back. He picked up a holy grenade and the vampite should feel that this yellow ball with white strings may cause a real thread to him.. and I don't talk about the explosion here.

World Ender?
Cyrus gawks at the sheer audacity.
I take offense to that. World Ender implies that I've actually, you know, abused my power to actually destroy a world. That is false.
Cyrus allows the Blightning to arc out at Jakob, with ferocious intensity. It likely gives him a nasty shock, which while it probably won't do serious damage to someone as tough as Jakob, should at least distract him. It's more dangerous effect might be the fact that it inflicts grievous injury to the psyche of those it affects, through a method that can only adequately be described as mindrape.
I've destroyed nations, people, and everything in between. But I have SOME standards.

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Prometheus's left arm is grabbed.. His gauntleted left arm. Not only will this make it damn hard to break his wrist, his gauntlet also happens to have several inbuilt defenses. Several thousand kilo amperes are promptly discharged into Jakob's hand, and Prometheus attempts to rake his claws across the forearm holding him, likely flaying a few of those muscles and tearing most of the chains on the arm to shreds. "I can handle this. Although, if you can neutralize these chains, it would be appreciated."
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
Well seeing that he's doing no damage to Prometheus, and trying to save his remaining chains, he drops the man's arm. He clearly wasn't expecting that attack from Cyrus. The blightning strikes him directly in the middle of the forehead, doing about the same amount of damage as Prometheus' plasma gauntlet. The new laser from the fish is ignored in favor of this pain. Shockingly, the mindrape that should have followed is extremely uneffective, judging by the way he snarls and glares at Cyrus following this shot.
"Honorless wastes of flesh. Your kind has nothing but your foolish ambition to drive you. Where is your duty? Where is your family? WHERE IS YOUR GOD!?" with each question, the effects of his last bulk up increase, Ceres falls silent in the dancing fox inn. Rocid drops to the ground outside. Julie suddenly collapses on top of Stu.
Jakob now stands more than fifty feet tall, and is so grotesquely muscular that the pressure has sealed most of his wounds shut except the recent gashes in his right arm. The chains that before were biting into his flesh are now buried into deep weeping rents in his flesh that even now are sealing over behind them, leaving his skin seemingly tatooed with spiraling red lines. His eyes gleam bright and unholy as the air begins to feel dark and heavy in his presence.
"Come little World Ender, ply your trade. Let us dance the Dance of the Ancients."
He may have made a mistake completely disregarding Prometheus, but he is too enraged to care.

Cyrus grins! Not exactly the most socially correct response, but he does it.
Ah, an actual opponent! Now I can finally take the kiddie gloves off!
To the fish, he merely replies:
"Go ahead. See if you can remove the chains."
Cyrus, of all things, begins to hover off the ground! And discharges a much larger amount of Blightning, mixed with Hellfire!

Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury

Jakob dodges, of all things, the blightning and lets the hellfire splash against his shredded right arm. Then he responds, attempting to disengage from Prometheus so he can cross the distance between them in a blink and throwing a fist the size of a dump truck at the planeswalker. The right fist. The one that's currently on fire. :smalleek:

Prometheus steps back when his arm is released, and takes advantage of Jakob looking the other way to turn up the voltage on Mjolnir, his lightning gauntlet. Lightning explodes from his palm, the gauntlet venting all of it's remaining energy to send a barrage of thunderbolt after thunderbolt at Jakob, each arc of electricity naturally drawn towards the chains on his back, and each well capable of melting metal. Lets see the soul-chains stand up to that.
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
[Main Room]
Cyrus deftly dodges to the left, though he does take a glancing blow that sends him spinning through the air, as well as suffer a burn from his own Hellfire. On the other hand, Jakob touched his armor. Which means that Jakob will likely suffer another bolt of Blightning from the enchantment on the armor, and Cyrus doesn't even have to focus on it!
Still, he decides to take advantage of Prometheus' information: He attempts to shatter some of these chains. WHILE STILL UNDER THE SKIN. :smalleek:
-
Re: [Nexus] AMEN XLI: eXtra Large Injury
Main Room
The thunderbolts are very effective, and take out links in bursts of five, causing rivulets of molten metal to start oozing out of his back. The shatter spell however, causes a single place above Jakob's left shoulder to burst open in a shower of gore and shrapnel.
He takes the blightning with somewhat less success than the first, and it sends his arm into spasms. Then he reaches out at the planeswalker with his unharmed left arm and attempts to grab and crush his tiny little head.
Also, with regards to the butter sauce, Jakob is indifferent. Back at the couch, Julie mumbles in her sleep, "Hun, why are we always getting into sticky situations together..."

And once more, Jakob turns his back to Prometheus. Bad choice. Drawing Strength, Prometheus rushes forward and attempts to jam the diamond spear into Jakob's left shoulder, aiming, with perfect accuracy, for the bone. Strength is literally an apocalyptic weapon, part of a collection of artifacts capable of ending the world, and is both impossibly sharp and nigh indestructible.
In the corner of the room, the four mages, all but forgotten in the chaos, chant away, weaving a spell to boost Prometheus's already ridiculous strength, doubling and tripling it for a fraction of a minute, a sparse few seconds.
Yeah. Jakob is probably going to lose the arm. "Weren't you just complaining we had no honor? Well, we do. Of a sort. And we do not let thugs like yourself kill others of our organization."
