Well it was intended to less of a slice and more of an impale. Plugging the sword into the outlet as it were. Granted, with a sword that size, it's hard to do anything but really.
Ah well, let's try plugging the sword in one last time as Vincent brings the sword to bear in a counter-attack that could spell certain doom for the creature, though doesn't actually stop the beast's attack from going through at all. It's a trade off. One he'll probably regret, but you do what you gotta.Last edited by Reinholdt; 2013-01-03 at 02:51 PM.

Nice hit, Vincent. Vincent's counter-attack hits the beast on the spikes on its body, shattering them and causing the creature to lose the charge it had built up. Sure, the lunge is still happening, but afterwards the beast starts limping away from Vincent, wanting to recover from the wounds inflicted upon its body.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
"Too big for what we've got at range, too well defended to get close..." Hill activates his helmet comm. "Hill to Command, requesting heavy assault weapon drop."
It then becomes apparent that there are many advantages to having a number of stealthy aircraft. Unless it's interrupted (it's not instant, I'm just skipping ahead since as-is things are kind of stalled) a pod drops in from above (from one of the aforementioned stealthy aircraft), and bursts open to reveal a rather heavy and bulky-looking high-tech weapon with what appear to be multiple 'barrels'.
Hill deactivates and sheaths his sword and holsters his pistol, then grabs the gun that just got dropped in.
"You know," he mutters as he raises the heavy weapon and points it up into the swarm of rocket-things over their carrier.
"I always wanted to use one of these." A low hum emanates from the weapon as he powers it up, until it starts spewing hot blaster bolts at a ludicrous rate.
He'll slowly move toward the carrier as he fires into the swarm more and more. He's hoping that kind of firepower will cover the approach and distract them enough that Wenomir can do...whatever, really.Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

The two will likely realize, whether now or soon, that pursuing the drake in the zeppelin won't be an option. It's went below the tree line, and while the forest isn't all that dense in the immediate area, it's certainly impossible fr the large zeppelin to accomplish much.

"I'm going to contact Wenomir, telling him where we are." Cessie replies. "And do you have anything that can be used for scouting? Otherwise I will send down an elemental to check this out." The sorceress says.
[Snowy Plains]
The skies burns and the silvery creatures starts to fall out of it, crashing in the surrounding landscape. The creatures move about in a disorganization fashion, just attempting to dodge the barrage of fire which fills the air with burning death.
The creatures that crashed seems to slowly start to melt down into pools of silver. In the middle of all this chaos is the giant tank-being which seem to shift and remold itself in response to the sudden attack.

Wenomir breaks into a run, going over the area of devastation created by Hill in order to attempt to flank the big tank-like thing and approach it. Hopefully it'll be too focused on the big flashy barrage of missiles to notice him.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Hill continues his diversionary assault, the barrage of energy bolts not ending as he fires on the surviving portions of the swarm. "Remember who's really got air superiority now?" If he runs out of targets up there, he'll start shooting up the tank-thing.
One gets the impression he's really liking that gun.Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Vincent is knocked back into one specific tree, a rather large one, rather than a clump of unspecific trees like Catoline. That hurt. Not as much as the claws. Those cause bleeding and hurt. Not as much as the electricity surge going through Vincent'slightning rodsword and body. That really hurts.
He's just going to slump there against that tree.
Yeah you'd better run.

The beast flees, leaving behind shattered trees, blood on the rocks and grass, and a camera-like object on the rock outcouping of the clearing. All Vincent and Caroline need to do is to pick it up and give to Purple-Hat, and the quest is done.Avatar by Emperor Ing

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

"Try if you can see anything through the spyglass then while I'm talking to Wenomir." Cessie replies before bringing up her communicator and holds it up to get in contact with the demon hunter.
[Snowy Plains]
The tank doesn't seem to take notice of the hunter even as his communicator starts to beep. The sounds made by the missiles as they smash into the ground dwarfs any sound that he or anything else nearby possibly could match. There are still a few rocket things left however as the tank seems to have located the source of this barrage.
Before Wenomir's eyes it quickly starts to shift, turning into a mass of thin extremely long appendages that starts to move towards Hill by shifting it's countless of legs. As it moves it's appendages starts to stretch out towards the pools created by the falling missiles, once they reached them they seem to greedily suck up the silvery material like if they were straws.

She won't be able to see much unfortunately. The trees may not be especially thick, but they serve well enough to obscure vision. She may, however, catch sight of some movement in the trees moving away from the zeppelin. It's in the same direction the drake fled in, and where they came from initially. The trees starts to get taller and larger in that direction, though no more densely packed.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Hill drops the heavy assault blaster, its job done, and swiftly draws his sword and pistol again. It wouldn't really do to fire a weapon that imprecise into a melee, after all.
For now he's continuing a slow approach and firing on the few remaining rocket-things with the plasma pistol. Gotta keep that covered.Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Caroline pulls herself out of the clump of unspecific trees, one of her legs is bent the wrong way. She grits her teeth and continues toward the camera-like object. Vincent!! she calls out as she reaches the goal. Where are you!? Vincent!!

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Wenomir cuts off one leg which turns into a sliver-like liquid and forms into a pool in the ground. Then another of it's hundreds appendages reaches out into the pool and attempts to slurp it up as about twenty other limps reach out after the demon hunter and attempts to grab both his arms. All this happens while the being continues to move towards Hill. The arms staying behind long enough for them to slurp up the pools of liquid the downed missiles left.
The rocket-things start to move in the same direction as the 'tank' now, going for hill as he continues to shoot them down.
As all this happens, the sorceress continues to talk, "This sounds like a bad time. I just wanted to tell you we came across some demons fought them off and is now pursuing a straggler with the zeppelin. We're going to touch ground now and scout the area." She reports before cutting the connection. He could call back later.
[Above the Hunting Grounds]
"There we go, I told Wenomir what happened. Are you seeing anything Cornelia?" Cessie asks as she approaches the gunslinger.

Vincent's over there groaning quietly. He doesn't particularly feel like moving or calling back out.
But his hair is even crazier than usual, difficult as that is to believe, so he kinda stands out anyways.

Well, that was useless. Wenomir retreats, hacking at the appendages which approach him, and throws another silver dagger between them. Maybe that'll do something.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds

Wenomir moved back. Perfect.
It is at this point that instead of immediately flying away, Hill sheathes his sword again-can't make up his mind can he-in favor of pulling something spherical from an armor compartment.
Something spherical which he then tosses into the greatest mass of silvery appendages after a moment, since Wenomir has moved away from it.
Something spherical which will then explode in a blast of deadly hot plasma.
Then he'll hit the boost on his boots and start boosting to avoid...getting hit by anything.Last edited by Darkcomet; 2013-01-08 at 02:53 PM.

Re: [Nexus] The Hunting Grounds
"There!" Cornelia points wildly, watching the trees sway far below. Her eyes are sharp, especially now that she's got two of them. Nelia starts to lower the bloated craft, so that they might make their way down in pursuit. If all goes well, she'll be hopping down onto the forest floor in mere moments.

The creature attempts to smash away the grenade with one of it's many appendages before it explodes. But before the appendage can reach out for the grenade, Wenomir's blade cuts it in two, causing it shell to explode in a deadly mass of plasma.
The creature seem to melt before their eyes into a gigantic mass of silver-like liquid which quickly starts to spread over the entire area, threatening to reach them both.

"Wait! What did you see Cornelia?" Cessie asks, "We can't just rush in, we need to scout the area first."

Oooh dear.
"Hey, I gotcha!"
Upon seeing that, Hill figures staying put is a really bad idea and activates his hoverboots, boosting forward to try and grab Wenomir and get him away from there before he finds out what standing in the silvery liquid does the hard way.Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Caroline grabs the camera-like object, then drags herself to him. We got it, Vincent. she says quietly to his ear, then goes to take his hand in hers. Teleport. she says louder, in a commanding voice.
She, and hopefully he, will be teleported to NO's medical facility.
