    Thessaloniki - Outside the Walls

    A VTOL hovers down some distance away from the city, and a bunch of soldiers rope down. Once they're down and de-attached, a few crates are dropped from the craft that they catch, and then it flies off again.

    The squad of eight soldiers start walking towards the command post at a brisk pace.

    "Right. From what intel I've got, we're waiting for a new breach to get in among the main assault. Then we're taking two APCs into the city and follow what path seems best towards our target. We're authorized to take advantage of ground support as we find it but not to rely on or be slowed down by the advancing grunts. Personally, I'd say we have to blast past the front, wherever it may be at the time, and then we should ditch the APCs if we intend to actually get anywhere, but don't tell the brass that, it's supposedly 'valuable equipment'."

    "Got it. Basically, once we get in, we'll work as we see fit."

    "Might be a nasty brawl in there."

    And so they move in to the HQ to report to the commander that the Combat Specialist Assault Squad Gamma has arrived, Lieutenant Garren Russell in command, and are awaiting for the order to charge in. As well as the vehicles to do it with.

    Thessaloniki - Near the Palace

    "How's the charges, Davis?" A man clothed in urban camo, standing on one of the larger streets heading for the palace shouts this up at a building overlooking a small plaza. A head peeks out an opened window.

    "All set, Captain."

    Another soldier walks to the Captain on the plaza from a different building. "I've set up the position, but are you sure about this? We were told to avoid collateral."

    "Avoiding collateral is not an option in an urban battle. My way, we're avoiding the deaths of us all defending the city, Waen. That's the priority."

    "All right sir." Waen salutes. "I'll go help with the side streets."

    "Davis! No time for a break now, I need you to mine this building!"

    "Coming..."

    Soon enough, they were ready to collapse a few buildings on any hapless enemy troops coming through, with the added benefit of creating barricades and cover for themselves. And there was a sniper on the seventh-floor window of the building overlooking the entrance to the plaza, with the other ambushing troops hidden in nearby buildings.

    Now just to wait for the enemy...

    Above the Sea

    "Any special needs you have while you're on my vessel, and all you have to do is ask me."
    The kind Captain tells the mermaid. "And if you wish, we have a few spare hammocks if you don't want to swim there."

    Thessaloniki - The Walls

    Rugal and Charlotte take the lead, running and flying right next to each other as Razorfang carries Pet in her arms. "Thirteen, move to the side." The psyker orders before winking to Charlotte. The Archon gives a burst of cheerful laughter before spiraling in the air to land on her toes a short distance from the walls. The V'traani is shortly with her, and they wrap an arm around each other, pointing fingers like guns at The Wall as they Stack and Synergize their bonuses and modifiers.

    "OH YEEEEEEAH!!!!"
    They shout as they fire a twisting ray of red beams at the wall, attempting to either break through or at least burrow through a section of the wall if they can't instantly break through.

    Pet reaches up slowly to cover his ears, awakened from the loud noise. "I'm glad the two finally peaked together, but mind telling them to be quiet, Love?" Razorfang nearly stumbles at the words, but can't help but burst out laughing in joy at the words and the fact that he's awake.

    Daemonbunny of Caerbannog

    The Daemonhost's supernaturally increased speed will just improve upon what the Bloodthief used to have, but when it's "sister" tries to attack, it's goal switches from her throat to her hand, intent on biting it off. If the attack works, it'll give a powerful leap into the air, lunging at one of the Drakes' necks with supernatural speed.

    Narahar, after getting his breath back, starts chanting in Abyssal, praying for help from Dalachrech. As he does so, four large dragonfly wings made of dark grey light fade into existence behind him- his individual magical effect. It doesn't do anything; just looks pretty.
    Knowing that picking up someone else's magical weapon always spells certain doom, Teq 'draws' his own. An ornate short-sword - glowing hot from the battery in its hilt - materializes in his hand. Rather than one double edged blade, it has two separate blades, each with a cutting edge facing outward. Apparently for the sake of a lighter weapon. One blade is longer than the other, while both are inscribed with a line of words in Common.

    Without a whisper, Teq lunges toward Narahar so that he might plunge it into the priest's chest.

    Maps? Pffft, she scoffs at the thing. They're for beings who can't locate a creature by listening to the whispering of the wind. Which is probably everyone other than her, but still, it means she doesn't need it.

    Still, she takes it to be polite. The moment he's out of view she drops it and switches to more important tasks. Such as calling up her master via mental link, apologizing profusely for somehow teleporting herself onto another planet, begging shamelessly for extra time there, and finally agreeing to bring him some venison as a gift for his patience when she returns.

    Only after that complete loss of dignity does she spread her wings to follow Pyrus. Her original plan had been to find Shade first, but the longer she stays away from her human, the more worried she becomes about him.

    What if he crashed the machine? What if it was intercepted? What if he's discovered by someone less than friendly at the ruins?

    What if? What if?

    It grows so insistent and so annoying that she has to follow. SHe'll turn up at the site only a half hour or so after he does.

    Beyond the Shore

    Pyrus made it to the small island without any issues. He's landed his contraption in a small grove. He's set up a large tent and a campfire. The island is a vast jungle, and on the East side of the island is a barren area made of rock. A large cave sticks out of the surface/ She'' land to find him eating some breakfast. Oh, hello. That was fast.

    Beyond the shore of - somewhere. (Where ARE they?)

    She lands in a much more graceful manner than she had in the tavern before. Out here where there's enough room for those spectacular silver-feathered wings, they can stretch to their full length, many times what they fold into, and stir up clouds of dust from the ground as she touches down.

    "Yes, it's much quicker to talk to people mentally than to seek them out. Especially when one is on a different planet." Ah, completely obvious words of wisdom. If it was said with a more sarcastic tone than that, it could have been Skel'iim speaking.

    <...wow... what have you gotten yourself into? Can- please tell me you see his error, Kes?>

    "Pyrus, my micaloz," his name and the enochian word is said in as sweet and cajoling a tone as she can muster, "how many people are you trying to alert to our presence? That fire is a beacon to anyone within miles of this site."

    Seeing as he hasn't done anything about it yet, she calmly walks over and beats the fire out with her wings before folding them back against her body, completely un-singed.

    "If you insist on commenting on everything, we will be here all day. Yet I shall try and answer nevertheless." She sits cross-legged on the ground, and watches him with judging eyes. "First of all, you should be aware that I'll be evaluating everything you do this trip to see what additional use you are to me."

    "As to your first question, I believe I've already demonstrated how I feed, so unless your offering more energy, you ought to withdraw the query. As to your last, I am no telepath, however I have very strong mental ties with about half of my siblings, and with my master."

    She hesitates a moment, prodding the ashes of the fire with a fur boot, and watching darkening embers fly in all directions. "Micaloz is from the Enochian language. It is no insult."

    You did agree. Several times. Or did you forget your most recent promise that I can do as I like?

    And no, my siblings are cruel, sly, and deadly. All of them. And one day I will teach you how to recognize them so you can steer clear and be safe. I will not let them hurt you.


    Rather than become sentimental at all, she simply shrugs as though his death would be nothing more than a passing inconvenience, and gestures to the cave. We going in?

    Pyrus looks up at her. I...I remember... Your siblings can't be that bad...alright. If you're ready, just follow me. It's pretty boring work though, at least when we're done exploring. Follow me. He starts walking off into the jungle. It's a long walk. Tell me about yourself. Please.

    Kestrel follows him. Quietly.

    The pause is a long one, as she considers just how much information she's willing to share. And just when it seems as though an answer is never going to come, one does, as short as it is.

    That... is a broad topic. What exactly did you want to know?

    Legion Transport

    The triplets drop back down from the hatches into the hold, opening fire on Narahar once more. Of course, they've got to be more careful now that the enemy is actually within the APC. Bullets could rebound off the armor, or they could end up shooting a comrade if they're not. So each only manages to fire at the priest once or twice before Teq closes the distance to Narahar and it becomes too risky to fire into the melee.

    Fields

    Already reeling, the battlemage doesn't have a chance. He's summarily beaten unconscious, the constant barrage of punches keeping him from regaining enough composure to cast or even wage more mundane counter-attack.

    And now Zefir's after the Objects. They aren't hard to sense. No less than four of them, four precious, precious objects, lying just out of view behind the stands. And the two battlemages nearby are already too occupied dealing with his spider-mine to stand in his way.

    Fields- By the Stands

    This time the one battlemage still capable of walking doesn't make the same mistake by moving, confident that he's well out of the blast radius. Instead, he closes his eyes and begins to cast, not moving a muscle, just whispering arcane words behind the quieting confines of his mask.

    But he will have to move soon enough. Meaning that the spidermine must be removed by some means, and that he must call in one last favor from his dying companion.

    The battlemage with the earth dagger run through his chest, already on the very edge of death and fast fading, just manages to raise his hand and wave at the spidermine. Not a fast movement nor a strong one, but it should be enough to draw the automated explosives attention. At least it's a quicker death than bleeding out.

    Kestrel breathes a small sigh of relief. That's all he wanted to know? She could answer without giving much of anything away!

    My home planet is called Laira, after a very powerful dragoness who vanished thousands of years ago. We dragons are unsurprisingly influential. It's a Closed world, meaning creatures from outside are cannot set foot on it, and people inside are threatened violently if they wish to visit the Nexus.

    I've seen four centuries there, and never once even thought about leaving. It's... odd to find myself here. Is that all you wanted to know?

    Now there's a question that requires much more thought. On Laira- how to phrase this? There is a woman who claims to be a Higher Power. She- resist urge to insult said woman, lest she's watching right now. Andaress was not someone to insult, and not someone to trust.

    She has banned inter-species relationships to prevent half-breed children. It's the most controversial of her policies, but she... uh.. it's hard to speak when there were so many words you must avoid. 'Murders' is always a good word to avoid in these situations. Well, many of those who stand up to her, or ignore her decrees, have a habit of vanishing.

    So surely you'd understand if I was to say that an answer to that question would not end well for me. It's a hint that she has, but she really can't reveal anything further.

    I suppose I could ask you the same question, however. You probably don't have any, er, restrictions.

It's better this way...I feel sorry for her though. She didn't deserve any of that nonsense. So, yes is the answer to your question.

    Kestrel frowns. You left an innocent woman who you were engaged to, to come here and dig in dusty, lonely old ruins which may or may not be crawling with bandits looking to kill people doing just that?

    Speaking of which, where are they going?

    Blackdust Jungle => The Cave

    Pyrus frowns. Iyt...wasn't my choice. I was forced to. We didn't love eachother. But I was rich, and she was richer. My father, being the greedy man he is, wanted us to marry so he'd have access to her family's bank accounts too. I had to leave her. Or I wouldn't be happy. Yes, I dig through old and dusty ruins. You find nice things there. Pyrus eventually reaches a clearing where the ground is suddenly rock! There's a large cave sticking out of the rock on this little island. Pyrus tells her, Ah. Here we are!

    Well, there's little Kestrel can say to that. Wealth was never her problem, as large amounts of gold were handed to her master on a regular basis to keep him from destroying settlements. And she can't really comment on the marriage part of his speech either, for reasons already mentioned.

    So instead she walks straight into the cave without any caution or fear. Well, you're with me now. Gold will no longer be an issue for you. You may delve as deeply into these horribly dark caves as much as you want. I will give you whatever you need, or even desire... so long as you fulfill your end of the deal.

    She waits for a few moments for her elf eyes to adjust to the gloom, and looks around the cave carefully for anything that may pose a threat to Pyrus.

    Pyrus smiles. He moves a little closer to Kestrel before trying to embrace her for a minute. ...Thanks...For taking care of me...I guess... The cavern is dark...(No duh!) Stalactites and stalagmites are prominent. A large pool of water lies frozen in the middle of the cave. This is what Pyrus was after! Frozen in the lake is a massive corpse, frozen for thousands of years it seems. It's a massive octopus or squid, the size of thelarge whale it seems! Only a massive frozen eye is visible through the lake. The rest of the body lies in the pool. What an odd island! What a great chance of luck for Pyrus to have discovered it before too! There it is...I call him "Squid on steroids" or Sos1. We need to somehow get it out...or at least retrieve a piece of it's flesh.

    "Go on, then." Suddenly it becomes clear that digging squid-creatures out of frozen ponds in the middle of nowhere to take cultures of flesh from them, is not something Kestrel is interested in.

    She finds a rock that is flat enough to be a chair, takes a seat, and offers no help unless it is asked of her.

    Thanks a bunch, Kes.

    "...Let me get this straight. You knew what we were going to find, so you knew that you would need something to cut through the ice. But you don't actually have it? That-"

    She sighs. She could help, but just can't believe he'd use such odd logic. What if she hadn't been able to give assistance? "Stand back."

    Only when he's safely out of the way does she face the ice. She takes a deep breath, there's a small Click! and a bolt of lightening flies from her mouth to strike the top layers of ice, stopping short of the creature.

    Pyrus growls, I'm sorry. I was too tired thanks to you. The ice cracks! The large eye shows on the surface. It's dead it seems. The eye does not blink, it does not move. Pyrus moves over to it and takes out a knife. If you're squeamish look away. He'll then start cutting a part of the beasts eye out, for SCIENCE! later to study.

    The Wyvern retorts to the lunge by taking advantage of his supperior reach! With surprising agility the creature takes a step back and whips around, dodging the sword-stroke and aiming to clobber Wendy with his tail. Getting hit with that armored limb would probably hurt quite a bit and avoiding it is highly suggested. "You fight well, warrior," the monster comments in wholly sincere sounding tone.

    As for the pistol round, it thunks into the Wyvern's rump just above the tail, lodging between a pair of joints in his armor. That'll probably make it a little harder for him to move until he manages to get it out. Assuming he doesn't get killed first.

    "Oh..." Eighty replies in what probably isn't the most reassuring voice ever. "I haven't either. They told me that my mind was made so I wouldn't feel bad about killing people. But... I'll admit that I'm still nervous about it."

    Those pre-battle bugs that still need to be worked out of her neural net no doubt.

    "But hopefully we won't have to shoot at anyone. Hopefully they'll just leave the artifacts here and go away peacefully."

    Riiiiiight...

    [Allen is Winging it!]

    "Alright men!" thunders the Centurion as the APC comes to a halt. "You know your orders! Everyone MOVE!"

    Open goes the hatch on the back of the APC as the troops file out, taking up cover around the armored vehicle! Their target appears to be a relatively small looking squat building. Aaaand... it doesn't look like anyone is guarding it?

    That can't possibly be right...

    [Slaanesh]

    Nothing like a Koolaid Man beam to blast a hole through a barrier.

    The rays of energy quickly burrow through before melting a hole out the other side and frying a random trooper in the process!

    Sixteen just quirks her head at the display. "I was going to suggest climbing the wall, but I suppose that works too."

    That said she stealths and goes bounding through the breach! Several more militia are already running to take up position around the hole! Seems our friends were unfortunate enough blast the wrong place at the wrong time.

    "Enemy forces! Call for backup!"
    "Something's jamming the radios, sir! I-guk!"

    'Guk' would be the sound of some poor guy finding himself decapitated by apparently nothing. Another militia-man is impaled and hurled into the air before the remaining six begin to scatter and fire their weapons blindly at the invisible foe!

    [Near the Legion Camp]

    Dippy's ride touches down and those within begin sneaking out! The wizardly fellow tosses out his stealth magic to improve their chances of avoiding detection. Because being detected would sort of ruin the whole plan. Cloak guy will gesture toward a seemingly inconspicuous looking tent full of ammunition crates nearby.

    Apparently that's what they're looking for?

    [The Palace]

    Explosives and stuff being set up? That might be helpful. And what's more! People showing up to help defend the place! Nifty! The palace still has its own much smaller barrier in place. One redundant with the rest of the city. And much weaker, too. It wouldn't be that hard for a well coordinated force to take it down.

    "I see..." the militia guy replies. "Then stand your ground here with us. We can't let those Legion dogs get near the Governor."

    Yeah! Show them what for!

    Meanwhile, inside the palace.

    The Governor is none too pleased. He gives a deep sigh, running one hand across his balding head. "I've dispatched a team of special forces to the Legion camp itself. They're going to attempt to hit the command bunker. If it falls it will throw the Legion forces into chaos."

    He turns and offers a smile to his niece. "If Vulcan wills it that will be the time we make our escape. But I only wish it hadn't come to this..."

    The back of the transport clomps open and more soliders disembark, training their weapons on this really fast guy! Pew pew, bullets!

    The tank, meanwhile, shoots a chunk out of the wall. The wall of the city is absurdly thick and takes the shell like a boss. A guy on a nearby roof, meanwhile, fires an anti-take RPG at the tank. And we're not talking role playing games here.

    With their entry way blocked several transports stop outside the wall and send soldiers to press forward! It'll be a bloody uphill battle.
    The shield is very strong and doesn't even seems to be affected! Marciano is laughing now at the failed attempt. He made his tank to be invincible, and it was working. The RPG smashes the force-field and just kinda disintegrates there. The shield couldn't take too much more though. The wall is attacked once again, the giant top cannon switches to laser mode and fires a Laser Cat! large laser beam that should melt the very wall, causing the structure to fall.

As Moon Called gets close she twists so that she's running side-ways. She rams into the front-right Roosevelt's makeshift shield, ploughing into it with the not unimpressive combined weight of her armour and sword.
    Regardless of how this effects the two MagClones, Sevran is there on the other side at almost the exact same time. He raises his longsword high, slashing out at HazMag. The gold that runs through the blade like rivers flares, blazing with the light of a star.

    Meanwhile, while the tank focuses its efforts on taking down the walls, a third ice elf is being sneaky. Well, as sneaky as someone in plate armour can be. Which is still much sneakier than a tank. Keval slips into the shadows, darting around until he's standing behind the tank. The armour should be much thinner there. Once he's in position, Keval slams a new bolt into his crossbow and pulls the cord back until it clicks into the notch. He drops to one knee, brings the crossbow up to eye level and fires the bolt at the tank.
    The bolt behaves just the same as the last one he fired. It streaks through the air, it's normal whistle masked by the fury of combat. It hits the tank - or it's force-field, whatever solid force it comes against - with the force of a car, and shatters. The liquid inside it is exposed to the air and blooms into a massive flower of smoke and fire.
    Marciano's laugh is quieted as the shield goes red. That's bad, it's heavily damaged. Marciano presses a lovely button that activates the giant claw crane thing. The crane flies out and swings to bite the ice elf clean in half with it's powerful mechanical jaw.

    Then Zefir's grenade hits the tank. Marciano sighs. Perhaps he should have thought of a better idea? He didn't have many tanks. Only three. He had brought all of them though, still...those things took ages to make. The forcefield fades.. Zefir will find a few heat seeking missiles blasted towards him.

    Kestrel winces slightly as he growls at her. I- sorry. I didn't mean to be too harsh. I just- I don't have a lot of experience dealing with humanoids who aren't part dragon. Especially not intelligent and handsome young men.

    Which is why, when he asks her about squeamishness, she holds herself there firmly and watches. Really, all she wants to do is help the poor thing, regardless of the fact that it's dead. But as she'd never let anyone see any form of weakness in her, she sits still throughout, keeping very, very quiet.
    Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

    Pyrus softens his tone. I'm...sorry I snapped. HE shivers. The water was freezing! Yet he went about his work before placing the chunk of carefully cut eye in a plastic baggie. There...now I can head to my brothers laboratory tomorrow and analyze it tomorrow. Er...you wouldn't happen to know some magic would you? To freeze the pool a bit thicker?
