Zero

Zero holds out his hand and causes his spear to appear again. He then starts to walk slowly in a circle around the suit of armor, trying to find a weakness. He will continue to circle the armor until it attacks.

Sophie

Sophie doesn't look away from the hideous being - after all, it would interfere with her actual intention, which is to try and and place three bullets in its face. Which she promptly does.

Friend

Friend looks slowly around at the blue fire, dodging the first fireball barely.

"Seems a sorcerer or priest of the gods old hath joint this fray"

adapting a battle stance, the Ex-Fae fires his armour's lasers yet again. Albeit from only one hand this time. Dodging the fireballs through his own reflexes and the armour's enhanced strength.

If the flames are magical, some of their power may be drained away from the Nexus when they graze the armoured fighter. Although, it Will be a small effect should they only be created by magic and not made or sustained by it.

Zero may find that the suit of armor doesn't seem to have a major structural weakness. A thin layer of chainmail holds the animated armor plates together. This layer also allows the armor to bend at its joints so as to allow the wearer to move normally.

The armor does have a flaw, though it is not a structural one.

The animated armor moves about in a slow, cumbersome way. Massive amounts of power are behind its every movement. It sacrifices agility and speed for sheer strength.

The armor suddenly lunges at Zero, attempting to impale him on its black, wicked blade.

As Sophie blasts her creature with a spray of metal, its "face" breaks away like shattering glass. Underneath its "face" is a swirling vortex of tentacled madness. Ten tiny livid heads piked on the end of ten green tentacles that smell of iron burst out of the thing's face and scream at Sophie in unison while the creature's left arm attempts to swat Sophie to the side in a wide, horizontal, sweeping movement.

Friend shall discover that the fireballs are indeed products of magic (though not sustained by it). His armor affects them as such.

Friend's laser doesn't hit the beetle demon this time, namely because the creature has withdrawn. If he fired at the child on the log, he will find that the child is hit and struck dead by the laser.

The flames stop shooting fireballs at Friend. Still, they remain.

What did Friend just smite, then (if he was shooting at the child)?

A sharp howl vibrates the air around the circle of fire. This lone howl is soon joined by several others, all hidden in the fog.

A demonic Timberwolf attempts to charge Friend from behind. It bears remarkable similarities to a normal Timberwolf, apart from the fact that its fur is composed of the embers of the fires of hell and its red eyes are devoid of compassion.

Meanwhile, the spidermen surround the vitrified Valaira and let out an unearthly screech.

They are ripping another gate through spacetime.

[Through the Portal -- Mayor's Mansion]

Reinholdt can't imagine these people volunteering. He thinks it's the ritual and the drums and the magic and how dare they do this to these people!

Reinholdt gives up on the flute and puts it away, turning pink to fly up and over those people, towards the pillar of gold where the altar is. He fully intends to plant C4 on it and blow it sky high (not immediately of course). Accursed evil aggression causing altar!

The closer Rein comes to the ceiling, the more likely he is of noticing that the chamber doesn't just seem like it is breathing.

It is breathing.

The cultists continue their rituals, tearing the entrails out of a living man and hacking them open without pause, without question.

One of the children stares up at Rein. She shouts and points at him.

Uh-oh.

This isn't good.
