Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

(Looks like Jit's experimental mutagen phase is having good results all around)
Jit howls in pain as the energy claw slashes into his own leg. He collapses to the ground, panting as the claws fade. Then he begins sobbing.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
[Lake Shore]
Red is startled at seeing the foe cry. He speaks without lowering his defense as that would be a bad idea since he is still mentally dazed.
"First.... you attack me..... then now.... you're crying! What are you....? Do.... you really wanna fight me?"
In Red's head
"Of course he wants to attack you! Look at him, playing possum, PAH! Back then you would hunt down anyone who'd dare even look cross at us!"
"No...... that was loong ago.. soooo loong ago...."

Can't....control it. Too...strong!
Jit's voice is full of agony, then he looks up.
I need to run. It's coming.
Red probably can't see between bad positioning and the fact that it's dark, but Jit's leg is healing rapidly.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

"So we both have our inner demons........ come I'll fight yours.....with mine......"
Red's personality recedes as Element comes out.
"Come on little doggie! Lets rumbe!!"
Element turn into fire as Red's hesitation has been subdued by Element. He takes flight and shoots a fireball at him from above, its homing unless you smash it.

Jit's eyes go feral again, and the claws erupt as his leg heals. He leaps directly into the fireball, intending to smash it with his head.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
[Lake Shore]
The fireball is smashed by the head and should only leave burn damage without the explosion.
"Gutsy little dog, pah!"
Element aims 9 homing fireballs at Jit.
Why don't you dodge them this time and let them hit one another dog? If you have the smarts to do so.
Element laughs as he is flying thinking he is way out of range to hit.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
[Lake Shore]
There are burns, but they heal almost immediately. However, the blow seems to have knocked Jit back to his senses again. He lands on all fours, and takes off for the woods, running the way he landed. The fireballs may very well follow him, but if they take the most direct route, they'll all end up right behind him. And therefore hit each other.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Savanna ==> Lake Shore
Screaming and crying and explosions of fire!
Across the dry and otherwise eerily still air of the vast savanna, they ring out like a beacon, attracting the attention of a certain trio. Moving up to the highest hill for quite a ways in any direction for a better view, the triplets observe the battle from afar via the telescopic scopes of their battle rifles.
They might step in. They might not. Really depends on how this goes and what fancy strikes them.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
[Hills]
Kinda hard to tell if the creature is even in pain...
Anyway, Gordon's wings must be quite the mess by now with all those tentacles tearing away solidly at 'em, so there's probably not much more they can do there...
Anyway, the tentacle trying to restrain Gordon's head gets bitten off, which results in more green goop oozing out into his mouth, and the goop tastes just as disgusting.
And then Gordon fires again...
And misses.
Because the creature carefully times his next transformation, returning back to his default humanoid shape, grinning at Gordon, staring at him with those bright glowing eyes. The flames start to surge forwards again, threatening to cover the place in darkness again.
"Sso how doess it feel, oh great and mighty dragon? You with your fancy armour and lightning breath, sstill unable to defend yoursself from ssomeone who knowss what they're doing. You've been an excellent target for me to take my anger out on. I'll be leaving now." The creature's wounds, which there surely must be since he sustained them while taking his previous form, are hidden beneath the black flames covering his body...Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

"Perhaps this way does have some problems."
Gordon then changes back into his human self, and removes the railgun attachment of his shock pistol, letting it fall to the ground. Sure, he doesn't have wings in this form, but the back of his tenchcoat is covered in blood.
"But that's why there more than one way."
Gordon flips out his grapple gun from his sleeve, and tries to fire it at the creature. If it works, Gordon or the creature will be pulled towards the other, in which case Gordon will fire a few shocks from his pistol.Avatar by Emperor Ing

"Well, I did not expect that........ oh! What's this! I spy 3 little birds!"
[Lake Shore----> Vantage Point]
Element redirects the fireballs to the triplets location.
"Element...... NOOOOO!!!!"
A few fireballs stay in place an only 3 manage to continue to catapult over to the triplets, maybe they'll leave or be caught in the explosion.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Tovpir is a creature I won't call normal or magical. His abilities are over natural, but his body is caused by evolution. Either way Adir will succed in hitting a gap between the tails fragments.
Tovpir will turn his tale around so the dagger will get caught between the fragments and the end of the string points at Adir. Hoping that distracts him enough Tovpirs claw will break out of the earth trying to grab Adir who should be stuck with his dagger.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

"Sss..." Gordon should really consider shooting first and talking later. His little quip about other ways serves as an excellent tell for the creature that he's about to be attacked.
Unsure of what to expect, the creature simply dives to one side, which thankfully serves as a suitable means of dodging the grapple gun. The creature rises, turning to face Gordon. "I ssaid I wass leaving now. I am done with you, dragon.
The black fire spreads out once more, the light rapidly fading...
"I ssaid at the beginning that I would not kill you. I do not dessire that. I jusst wanted to put you in your place. You sshould leave now, and get thosse woundss sseen too. A dragon that cannot fly iss ass good ass dead."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

While the woman wasn't going to move very fast, she was still dangerous. The bastard sword giving her the edge in close combat. She wouldn't be able to dodge very well though with that wound.
Having done it many times before, Michicora takes her bow out without even needing to look away from the woman for a second. She waits for some kind of reaction to this, to see how mobile the woman still is. Otherwise she will also pull out an arrow.
In a desperate case she still have a spare knife.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Actually, turning the tail like that frees Adir's dagger, and he leaps backwards in time to avoid a horrible demise at Tovpir's claws. The stag doesn't backdown, however, leaping toward the scorpion's tail with a warcry. He tries to get his arms and legs around it, holding onto it for dear life, before plunging his dagger into one of the gaps again.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Hills
Gordon starts walking towards the creature. His place? This creature has no idea what that is. Gordon wasn't planning on using one weapon of his out here. No way for him to reload it anymore. But now, he's mad, and that weapon should be enough to kill this thing.
"I was not born a dragon, so I think I will live. And one more thing, the dark fire will not avail you, flame of udun."
I'm not sure that quote quite fits the situation, but close enough. Gordon pulls out the lava cannon, the same one that took down Magtok's mecha, and turns the dial to wide, then starts running towards the creature.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Savanna- Near the Lake
Darnit. The triplet's were hoping to avoid being spotted, but it looks like there's no hope staying out of the fight now.
Having seen that physical force can disrupt the fireballs, one of the trio opens fire on them. If that works the other two will shoot at Red as well, while if it doesn't they'll scatter and run to avoid getting burned. Shouldn't be too hard, considering there's a whole lot of distance between them and the lake.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
['Big' game hunting]
...Truly, neither the vixen nor her writer had even considered that a possibility. So to say her prey leaping towards her took her by surprise is putting it mildly. While she snaps reflexively at him, she's too late to catch him in his flight.
She's not happy in the slightest to feel him land on her back, responding by promptly falling in the dirt and rolling over on the not-impaled side, which will hopefully either throw him off, or crush him.
The other fox has enough sense to halt suddenly when the other cars zip by, remembering the pain of small lead pellets that fly from their passenger's weapons. And it's a good thing he does so, else it may have cost him his eyes!
Which means that the last car will have to pull back and away from the others too if they still want to stick an explosive to his paws. If they do, then it would have to swerve to avoid the vulpine's angry snapping jaws to reach him, as it becomes the closest target. It may still work, actually, but it'd be difficult getting close now as he's aware of them. Or they could just throw it. As it's powerful adhesive, that might be just as effective, if slightly less accurately placed.Thank-you Ceika so much for my awesome avatar!

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
As Waterstrider digs into the beast's body, he'll find out that it's surprisingly... empty. It seems that evolution or whatever other force that guided the latawiec's development made it as light as possible. The internal organs are strangely compressed in comparison to its size and once he gets past the thick hide, the insides of the creature are easy to dig through. The latawiec is steadily losing altitude now, but Waterstrider should be able to hide inside it as it crashes into the ground, the force of the fall finishing the job the blood loss started.
Wenomir is somewhat resistant to extreme temperatures, as the demons of his homeworld use either fire or frigid ice, depending on their type. Still, he's definetly not comfortable.
He sighs inwardly when the tree takes on Jedwiga's shape. Why do monsters and villains keep taking her form? It's not like he has feelings for her anymore and in fact rather resents her. He raises his sword and waits for the situation to develop futher.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
"Oh come on I was trying to have a bit of fun, very well!"
Even as the Triplets were opening fire on the fireballs they vanished and the ones near Element returned to him. Turning into wind he goes near the triplets and speaks in a non-menacing tone.
"Clam down ladds! I was just introducing myself! Anyway I'm losing power so take care of my other half will you? I'd hate to have to come out again against my other half's will. "
With that Element gives way to Red and shows a pitiful, wounded Child appearance.
"Sorry about.....him..... I won't..... harm you...."
Hopefully the triplets won't just leave him to his wounds.....

Silver had been walking for hours. It was clear she was lost and didn't know where she was going but she wasn't scared. In fact, she was having the time of her life walking in the woods alone. She sees Jit on the ground and keeps her distance yet watches him, her body hiding behind a tree.

Silver moves closer to Jit, grabbing him and pulling him away. She snaps several branches and uses rope from her pouch to create enough shade to keep both of them comfortable. Silver stares with her bright blue eyes and pokes his cheek with her forefinger.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
Vantage Point
A pitiful, wounded child?
Nope. Doesn't get a single iota of sympathy at all from the triplets. Even if the three didn't know full well that Red's only a shapeshifter pretending to be a child to save it's own hide, they were raised and trained to show no mercy from the very moment they left the cloning vat. They're certainly not going to start now.
Three rifles are aimed in Red's direction. "Got a reason we shouldn't kill you?"Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.
