Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
[Blackdust cave]
You want me to use magic?
<What? No, bad idea!>
I could try I suppose...
<No, I've seen your magic work before. Best just forget about it.>
Although, if you're sure, then you may want to stand back. As in, outside the cave.Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
[A Forest Clearing]
The elf huntress knelt by the pool, quickly pulling up handfuls of the pure, clean water, first to her lips, then to her wounds. As she did, her amber eyes flicked uneasily over the forest she had just emerged for, her pointed elven ears attentive for the sound of any sort of danger, especially the danger of that... abomination she had just encountered. By her side, a pair of hounds sat at attention, also on the listen for danger. Well, they were called hounds. In truth, the pair of them resembled regular dogs in much the same way an M1 Abrams resembled a Toyota.
At the edge of the clearing, a marble hoof stepped onto a twig, snapping it with an audible crunch. The elf huntress whirled round, edging backwards slowly as the rider slowly entered the clearing.
A marble horse. Horses were not typically made of marble, but the elf was willing to excuse that. What was riding the horse could not be excused. Little of it was visible, of course. The thing wore a black cloak with a hood, and black armor, as all such evil beings did. Even its face was concealed, under a silver mask, with emeralds for eyes, glittering brightly in the twilight. But the huntress knew what lurked under there. She had seen the thing's 'garden'. She had seen the statues.
"Abomination!" She cried.
"You will not slay me!"
The rider spoke in turn.
"Everyone and everything has a time to die. Even immortals such as yourself." It said, voice slightly muted by the mask, but no less harsh, like iron filings sliding across mahogany, and with a tendency towards sibilance.
"In your case, such a time was brought forward when you and your companions destroyed my garden and burned down my house."
"Such a thing needed to be done. It was an affront to Nature!"
"So you claimed half an hour ago, though in truth Nature has never seemed to mind its existence. Nevertheless, your companions have already paid the price for their vandalism. Now it is time for you to pay the same price."
"We'll see."
Faster than a cobra strike, the elf huntress raised her bow, firing off an arrow at the rider's face, while her hounds sprang simultaneously from their resting positions, barreling for the horse while giving the sort of trembling roar that begins in the chest and ends down the unfortunate victim's throat. The marble horse's reaction was equally immediate, rearing up, the arrow broke harmlessly across its chest as it kicked out with its forelegs, effortlessly knocking the two hounds to the ground, skulls staved in, cranial fluids, flowing.
Suppressing a howl of anguish, the elf fled, setting an impressive pace across the forest ground. The rider followed.
[A Seaside Cliff]
The chase came to an end here. An impressive chase, indeed, but now the elf was out of breath, and at a dead end. True, there were still two directions along the cliff edge in which to run, but she knew now to do so would be merely to delay the inevitable. The marble horse did not seem to tire, and she had taken an arrow to the shoulder from the rider's horsebow during her flight, and the poison was doing an impressive number on her body, despite her intimidating number of immunities. She turned.
"I suppose this is the end of the line, isn't it?"
"Yes."
An arrow took the elf in the throat. Death soon came.
The rider turned away. Or would have, had not something caught her attention. A... seaside cave. Not unusual in itself, but its size attracted her. And... is that... a forest inside it?
"How curious..."
It bears investigating.
The rider set off.Originally Posted by Lord Magtok

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
Blackdust cave
Kestrel takes a deep breath. It's okay. It's just a single spell, right?
<...Human! Take me with you!> Skel'iim is clawing at his bonds, trying to get away from her. It's difficult as he's trapped in her mind.
"Ummm..." Uh oh, any incantation that starts with 'um' cannot be one that's particularly well known.
"Xarzith tirnl!"
The draconic words 'ice field' work exactly as they sound. There is an explosion of ice, coupled with a shriek of surprise from Kestrel. The ice covers everything in the cave. Everything.
The cavern floors, walls, the creature, even Kestrel finds her feet anchored in place and she's quickly shivering, and the floor around her would be most likely treacherous to step onto. "P-pyrus? It w-worked. Sort of."Last edited by orb_of_blood; 2012-04-22 at 12:32 PM.

Pyrus yells out "Kestrel! Are you Ok?!" He rushes into the cave but slips and falls. Oof! Can you get out?!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
Thessaloniki- Gates; Inside An APC
Narahar rolls aside to avoid the Triplet's shots. This means he mispronounces one of the words in his prayer and the spell fizzles and does nothing.
When Teq charges, the roll also successfully helps him evade that attack, too. Narahar lunges towards his sickle. He's left a slight trail of blood, too; it seems one of the bullets hit after all.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
Thessaloniki Gates - Inside an APC
Teq barks a challenge and reverses the grip on his weapon. He sidesteps, attempting to intercept Narahar and run him through with a downward thrust. At the last moment, he adjusts the angle of descent, attempting to instead impale Narahar's arm. Hopefully leaving him pinned to the APC. An enemy captive could be useful.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
[Near a Vaess Hive - Woods]
A large forest lizard plods along, cropping mouthfuls of plants as it goes. The thing is roughly cow-sized, though much longer when you count its tail.
Little does it know it's getting the hell stalked out of it by spider aliens and stuff!
It hears another forest lizard's low-pitched call from off to its left, and lumbers along in that direction.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
The woods near The Hive
Yes, because unfortunately for the lizard, the spider aliens stalking it are experts.
As the lizard lumbers towards its new location, Adam(concealed by his basic camouflage while hanging from a tree) throws a web disk at it, hoping to trap it.Busy with Life

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX

The thing bellows and struggles, its energy beginning to lag quickly. A second web disc hits it, causing it to go down even quicker.
In the shady area of a dip in the ground beneath a fallen tree, something stirs with four legs.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Adam drops from the tree, hopefully landing on the lizard, which he'll then try to kill using the blade weapons attatched to his arms.Busy with Life

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
The trapped elf looks thoughtfully at the ice for a moment. "I c-could try melting my w-way out-"
<No more magic Kestrel! Especially fire magic!>
"-but that p-probably would c-cause even more problems." She finishes, rolling her eyes at the dragon. She shivers. "C-careful of the ice, Pyr-rus! I'm a-alright, d-don't hurt y-y-y-"
Her teeth are chattering too loudly to finish the sentence. But she truly is alright. Not that that's always a good thing. She can feel the cold horribly acutely, but it won't kill her, or hurt her in the slightest. Which, unfortunately for her, means that it will never change to a numb cold, always biting. Still, she's more worried about Pyrus than herself at this stage in time.Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

Re: [Nexus] Outside XXX
[Legion Camp]
The Assault Squad enters the camp, looking for a situation update as well as a high enough authority to hand them an APC or other transportation. Their mission is to move in, break through hostiles defending the perimeter still and take advantage of the chaos inside the city to cause more of said chaos as well as take out anti-aircraft emplacements and hit any other high-value targets of opportunity.
To this end, they're loaded with urban camo, plenty of explosives and rapid-fire weaponry. One of the two designated marksmen in the squad has an antimateriel rifle and the other carries a fast semiauto to pick off infantry targets. This environment does not call for an LMG - the guy usually carrying that is equipped with the same assault gear as everyone else with extra explosives.
While they walk, they look around at the organized chaos of the camp. The atmosphere reads the assault is going well, so far, though the battle is not yet over.

[The Bath House]
Wenomir ducks and rolls forward, tumbling under the swishing tail. With grim determination, he pulls out another throwing dagger and throws it at the wyvern's eye, then tries to close in and jab his sword into the first weak point he can reach.

They drop it off at the food-processing area, where it will be dried for long storage.
Yeah, being a Vaess means you live mostly on jerky.
Seskila will then return with him to their quarterblock, a large abandoned mall; their quarters are located within one of the store spaces.🔜 🆒️ 🚰

Since he's still holding her hand, he follows along.
And then goes to his own web bed to stretch.
