Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
Which works just fine until the critter turns into a loooooooonnnnggg thread that snakes out of the bag and starts slithering to the ground. This is seven pounds of thread. All snaking along, out of the bag and onto the ground, with shocking speed.
Forcing this critter to do anything is looking like more and more of a chore.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
Dipple's Hamlet
Actually, Dam'Bul can force the body to work when it shouldn't, but only by foisting the pain off to somebody else. It still needs air, and though Dam'Bul can't be killed or exorcised by suffocation, his body can be killed and that will effectively exorcise him. So Dam'Bul struggles to save his host, gripping the Cylon's arm and squeezing as tightly as he can to crush the limb's servo motors or otherwise render it useless. The sabre is dropped at this point. Dam'Bul is good at fancy sword work, but he's next to useless at remembering the weaknesses of a mortal body. His real body cannot be choked.
Meanwhile, Nephrim has armed the workers and they are running across the gap between where they were and the Cylon and Dam'Bul. The fastest are at the front, a group consisting of eight males aged between sixteen and thirty. Nephrim is flying along in front, not too fast though, and has a semi-automatic pistol in each hand. She fires two rounds from each, though her accuracy whilst flying is not very good.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

[Dipple's Hamlet]
The Centurion notices the approaching crowd, and removes its blade from Dam'Bul's body so that it can use that hand to reach for the submachine gun. Dam'Bul's attempts to break the servos will probably end in failure due to the chrome armor plating, though it encourages the Centurion to try to squeeze harder. Like Dam'Bul, the Centurion is stronger than a normal human could possibly be.
The first bullet misses completely, though the next two hit the head, damaging its programmed silicon wafers. The last one entrenches itself into the body's chrome armor, though not enough to penetrate the inner workings.Thanks to Ceika for the Jurga the Hutt avatar!

Dipple's Hamlet
If the Cylon looks, it will note that Dam'Bul's hair just faded to a dusty blond, and his eyes also reverted to more human ones, with greenish-blue irises. Finally, it should notice that the grip is significantly weaker, and then it should notice the rings of chainmail, gobbets of flesh, shards of bone and droplets of blood spattering from Dam'Bul's chest as a red-skinned clawed hand erupts from his chest. It is joined by another shortly afterwards, and the hands then push outwards, causing more damage to the dead host's chest cavity. It doesn't take long for Dam'Bul to push his way out through the portal it conjured within the man's chest and into the light of the universe. It's taller than the human was, just over six feet tall. Its skin is red, smooth, and hairless; the body is sexless, and apart from a gash for a mouth and two eyes the body has no other holes. The claws aren't true claws; rather, the fingers end in razor-sharp spikes. Although the Cylon may have difficulty determining this; Dam'Bul's true form projects an aura that causes static on most non-organic viewing equipment, although if it is advanced enough the Cylon may not have this problem.
Dam'Bul's first action in this world is to try and grab the Cylon by the throat and lift him- he's even stronger in this form than he is when he's in a host. "I need a new host now. That wasn't a very nice thing you did." The reason why Dam'Bul needs a new host is quite clear, to those that can see it- he's giving off a very small amount of smoke as his body tries to return to the Abyss whilst his mind wishes him to stay here.
Nephrim ceases fire and stops the villagers a distance away; she wants to see how this turns out. However, the villagers are ordered to put on some leather armour and grab shields; Nephrim herself puts on a leather helmet and breatplate.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
Love Is ABattlefield
Magtok sighs. A part of him actually hoped that would work, as ridiculous as it might've been. Cruel, but fair. That's how AMEN would remember his offer to Prometheus, had Prommy been bright enough to realize what direction this battle would be heading in, and accept his offer accordingly. Instead, it's just going to be forgotten, or regarded as a cheap form of gloating and vainglorious nonsense.
"Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince-"
Wires tear right out of the Mechalomania wrist, pulled and stretched by Magtok's anti-gravity abilities. They're still crackling with electricity at their frayed ends before he shoves them into the generator, to reactivate Gordon's machine and trigger its absurdly powerful magnetic forces once more.
After being told about the incident when this device was first used by Ilpholin, it wasn't hard for Maggy to figure out why things happened the way they did. The generator accidentally doubled as a magnet, Gordon was wearing something that was attracted to the device, and then everything went downhill from there. The interesting thing to remember about magnetism, however, is that it works both ways. It pulls, but more importantly, as anyone who's used a railgun before can attest, it can also push.
Magtok's adjusted his own polarity to match the generator, so that instead of pulling him towards it, it pushes him away. Away, headfirst, and at Prometheus. Yes, the cyborg has, believe it or not, made an impromptu rail gun, with Prometheus's center of mass as the target, Gordon's generator as the gun, and Mag himself acting as live ammunition, rocketing violently through the air at ludicrous speeds to headbutt Prometheus to death.
"-and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
Field of Battle
Gordon moves his claws to try to block Prometheus' shots at Ilpholin. He doesn't want to have to deal with her angry father later, so its in his interest to keep her among the living for now. Moving much more than that is nearly more than Gordon can do right now, the poisons are taking their heavy toil on him.
However, it appears Magtok just made a mistake. You see, the generator Gordon designed has a problem, it needs a large energy sink when it is used, or else the power very quickly builds up too high and it explodes. Now, from what I understand of what he just did, he connected it to the remains of Mechalomania, I belive is still powered. Therefore, the odds are that the generator lacks the required energy sink, in which case, isn't a good thing.
Should the energy sink be lacking, the generator explodes, creating a giant electric fireball, which will quickly spreads to cover the area in the forcefields. This could be very bad. However, in any case, Gordon lows his head and focuses, marshalling his resources to ready a final attack on Magtok.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
Outside of Trog's
One of the guards trying to rush Chez will likely find their day positively ruined by the rather heavy, painfully dull pickaxe being swung towards the skull, Kale leaping into the fray with his own particular brand of brute force. Sure, he's none to happy about Chez just attacking the messenger without provocation, but, well... It's not like she wasn't going to die anyway, not like things could really have gone any different but this, not without leaving a band of heartless slavers alive to ruin more and more lives.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

The Glory Fields
Gordon doesn't have to move far, what with just covering Ilpholin's head. Still, it feels somewhat hard to believe that Gordon expected Prom to up and disobey orders in favor of ignoring the currently active combatant who is messing around with a generator that's already been proven to be quite dangerous for Prom, so he can... make a point I guess. Or try to anyways. I thoroughly suspect his little monologue loses drama points by being made at a horrible time of exploding and ignoring his teammate's good advice. All the same, the point being that one would imagine it makes it more difficult for Gordon to guard Ilph against an attack from Prom.
Anyways, the end result is the first bullet narrowly makes it through before Ilph is covered completely, going through Ilpholin's skull and out the other side making a rather large hole. The rest of the bullets will hit Gordon instead, though I suspect that's not really an issue for him. Regardless, where Ilpholin had stopped bleeding all over Gordon's claws, now she's dribbling brain bits on him instead. Eww.
Her necklace briefly tries to fly off, but is stopped.
Whatever remains in Gordon's claws is highly protected from resulting explosion using her dragon shield! There is that at least. Incredibly lucky there. I guess.
Fortunately, Ilpholin getting shot through the head was covered up rather quickly by Gordon and the massive, field enveloping explosion. So the audience would probably have a particularly difficult time seeing exactly what just happened. Shock, rage, or cheers should probably wait until the smoke clears.
Speaking of smoke, the explosion definitely catches all that webbing Ilpholin was stringing up for her long term plan that never panned out. It gets knocked down and most are just up and vaporized, but enough bits fall to the ground, flaming webs that creates thick, rancid smoke. Enough to give a dramatic pause for the audience as they literally wait for the smoke to clear. It won't last horribly long. These webs burn quick.

Javert observes the smoke. He waits to see if Magtok won or lose. He doesn't see much due to the smoke.

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXIX
[Outside of Trog's]
Coming towards the battle is a steam powered (humanoid) robot, torso and head covered in armored plates, and elaborate patterns of blades on her legs and arms, though there aren't as many on the shield (with, oddly, what appears to be the barrel of a gun in the center of it) replacing her left hand, or the round cylinder she has in place of her right.
What can be seen of her face is rather scary, to say the least. It's been a very long time since she was able to fight, and, while she likes her life with Kara, she's missed it, and she has a rather wide, and nasty, grin.
The other rather creepy thing about her is that a ghost of her human features - which are, from what can be told with the armor, are actually quite similar to her robotic ones - is overlayed on her.
Primary targets locked. Acquiring secondary targets.
Warning: 78.92% chance of secondary targets being struck if primary targets are fired on.

Warning: 92.57% chance of harm to primary targets if secondary targets are fired on.
[Gory Fields]
Karyana and Selka are... Less than pleased about all of this. Especially the battlemages that teleported outside of the forcefield. She also counts those as backup for Prometheus.
As such, there are, rather quickly, a pair of swords in the water bubble with them, and Karyana is shifting to have quills.Last edited by Lady Serpentine; 2012-02-01 at 05:42 PM.
