Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!

Lewis takes aim at one of the eye-things, if they are still around, and throws. He will throw at the moving supporter if not. The bottle apparently contains a sticky glue that will make the target stick to whatever it touches in a comical fashion.
"You're a fey queen? Groovy!"
He tries to flutter his wings and fly up, but being grabbed by Evian may hinder that.
"I wonder if that's like the Fae from my world, they're a silly bunch"
Evidently, Lewis is not a fey kind of Pixie. Although the solid green eyes and wings certainly make him look like one.

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!

Battle Compendium:
Sophie:
Friend:
As soon as the monsters withdraw from the battlefield, the portal collapses in on itself with an unsettling fwoosh. A flurry of wind sweeps across the landscape, stifling the stunted, tainted flames encircling Friend. Sophie’s bullets do most certainly hit one of the retreating demons, but the demons dash through the portal before the effects of this attack can be observed.
The steady gust of otherworldly wind carries away any evidence of the kidnappings that just occurred. It simply brushes the unnatural, choking haze off the face of the earth and seals the marred earth, restoring it to the way it was before this potentially tragic event befell GLoG.
If one were to listen intently, he or she might pick up a few faint strains of music (Hello Goodbye by the Beatles) flowing in the undercurrent of the gloomy and unnerving air.
It is taunting them.
GLoG may have just lost 3 of their 8 redeemees. Over 1/3 of the total number.
Maybe they are gone for good…
Four questions remain:
1. What caused all of this?
2. To what ends?
3. Where did the demons fallback to?
4. Who is doomed to notify Quinn of these sinister abductions?

[Through the Portal -- Mayor's Manor]
Godspeed, Rein! You’ll need it.
The ceiling itself is tumbling to the ground. The floor is opening up into an endless pit that extends deep into the core of the earth and beyond.
The corpses of the dead are being greedily swallowed up in the darkness of the unhallowed fissure.
This place is falling apart at the seams.
Get to the surface.

Zero might find that charging the animated suit of armor without getting skewered by its blade is an impossible task. The armor's motions may be slow, but it won’t take the armor too long to move its sword a few inches to the side to compensate for Zero’s own movements.
I’m guessing that Zero isn’t particularly fond of impalement or anything that might entail.
He’ll manage to rush through the portal easily enough, though.
The arena that the portal spills into is coated in a viscous, unnatural darkness. The air is saturated with cigarette smoke.
A deep, discordant, male voice calls to Zero.
A voice that would be all too familiar to Doctor Godlark and Bellan.

Considering Zero thinks that the voice is what captured Valaria he doesn't sound very friendly.
You're gonna pay for this!
Zero says as he whips his hands through the air, sending blue sparks that fly forward, in the same shape as the arc of movement of his hand.Last edited by DoomITP; 2011-07-28 at 03:36 PM.

Andy is hit by the Gazebo, but only a few feet a green baseball glove catches him.
"Oh shut up kid with pokemon that are also not allowed to be real."
Green light will beginn to hull Andy and create an armore around him like this only without the dreagon head and only in different green.
After that he creates a sword in his right hand also made of green light and charges in the fight aiming for the head construction of the gazebo.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

[Through the Portal -- Mayor's Manor]
Reinholdt is fairly fast and maneuverable in his pink flying form. He rushes up the tunnel, hoping it doesn't decide to all collapse at once and goes for the spreading collapse that's trying to catch up on him instead.
Once he gets back up, he intends to just barrel through the window if it seems the entire manor is falling in.

Friend walks toward Sophie, taking off his helmet along the way as per the customs of his home-world. He appears to be a normal, if remarkably underfed, humanoid with yellow-coloured eyes and black hair.
"Art thou all right, milady?"
He seems to have a slight implacable accent and a rather old-fashioned way to speak.Treasured Quotes

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!
Rose glares at Andy, as she casually blocks the gazebo's attack. "Shut up. You're not the one who says what can be real here."
She then jumps out of the gazebo, and aims an energy dagger at the eye Rae isn't trying to crush.
…where did she get that from?

Mikani moves to protect Saera from any attacks!
As Quinn concentrates.
"Move clear of the gazebo!" she shouts, raising her sword to the sky, and calling on the power of her Goddess!
Before slashing it down dramatically in the direction of Lord Gazebo, as if she were trying to call down fire from heaven...
...oh, wait. She is.
Flame Strike, ho!

The question needs to ask is: How does Neirian feel about Gazebos, even monstrous ones? I'm of the opinion she likes them. They make her giggle.
So with a whisper to Quinn, I'll not be granting her divine power to a Flame Strike, or any other fiery doom spells, to use against the Gazebo Lord.
But feel free to attack it with any other spells.

And Quinn's spell goes pfft!
She decides instead (after a quick apology to her Goddess for her presumption ) to send a sonic blast at the beastly wooden structure instead!

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!
((Of course, there are just those who mistake pixies for fairies. Who are totally unrelated to pixies. >_>))
Lewis bows in mid-air, or just looks at Evian if she is still carrying him and answers formally.
"Leodhas Wyllt, Louis DuGalle, Sir Lewis of the Thistle and Lou the Cat at your service. But most people call me Lewis."
Standing up straight again he grins and opens his mouth to ask a question when the flashy attacks are thrown at the gazebo.
"S-Woah!"
Apparently Pixies are easily distracted by flashy lights. Kind of like moths in that regard.Treasured Quotes

By then, the two of them are away from the Gazeebo, looking at the mass group attack against the wooden monstrosity.
"Yes, see that is why I tool you away from there, Sir Lewis. It's getting a little dangerous right now, and being on top of the Gazeebo was not the best place to be."

[Through the Portal -- Mayor's Mansion]
Rein flees up the tunnel successfully! It barely holds together until he manages to reach the exit! Then, with a crumbling noise, it falls into the vile pit below.
The manor itself is shaking. Flakes of paint are chipping off of the walls. Ominous cracks are spreading across the floor.
Out the window!
Into the frigid night.
Where ash floats down from a swirling black vortex of malice in the sky. The portal Rein entered through flickers up ahead.
Hurry!

Reinholdt has much practice crashing out of windows. Used to do it all the time when he was trying to destroy the world.
...
He feels some sort of irony in that now.
Ash is not a good sign. If fiery doom won't kill him, the fumes will.
So Reinholdt rushes for that portal. Zoom zoom!

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!
[Through the Portal -- Escape!]
The portal flickers sporadically as Rein approaches it. It won't remain stable for much longer.
Zoom zoom!
As soon as Rein enters the portal, it begins to destabilize.
The trip through the portal last time was only disorienting.
This trip shall be painful.
Rein's reward!
To Rein, it might feel as though his innards are rebelling against him in a way that I cannot describe. The heat in the portal also spikes. Rein might feel as though he has been lit aflame for a moment.
And then, it all should stop just as it started.
Rein might now find himself back at GloG in the sky above the lake.

The voice just laughs at Zero.
"You amuse me, boy."
"If you like her so much, take the rest of her. I'm more than willing to share her with you."
Light might illuminate a tiny portion of the chamber, revealing what appears to be Valaira's body resting on the floor a few feet from Zero.

[Skies above the lake]
There's a loud and maniacal scream of pleasure at the pain when Reinholdt gets dumped out of the portal.
Admittedly, it's just a bit too much though, and he starts to pass out, plummeting towards the lake.
I don't think cats are supposed to plummet towards lakes.

Looks like Valaira.
Feels like Valaira.
Smells like Valaira.
Tastes like Valaira.
Sounds like Valaira.
But that isn't Valaira...
Spiritually, they are completely dissimilar. Polar opposites.
There are no other differences between the two beings.
It is breathing, though.

"Yes. I understand who I am dealing with..."
When Zero leaves the portal, he will likely find himself deposited right in the middle of the GLoG campsite.
"...a shortsighted fool who just took one of my pawns in exchange for a queen."
"I wonder what she'll do to these ones..."
This is very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very bad.

Re: {Nexus} GLoG LXXIV: Back to the Numerals!
Zero is thinking more ahead than one might think. He fully intends to find the other fragments of Valaria. It looked as though all that could be achieved was getting one part of the person, so Zero decided that doing what he could and then going back with more information would be a better plan. It would probably work better than maybe making a mistake and coming back with nothing.
After making sure that he was really back at GLoG, Zero will attempt to carry Valaria to the Infirmary.Avatar by Crimmy

Or the voice could have just duped Zero. What he brought back might not even be a fragment of Valaira.
Disembodied voices aren't known for their honesty.
Anyways, "Valaira" is hauled off to the Infirmary.
