It is 22.09 Italian Time. I will probably head to sleep after this post so you'll have eight/nine hours to have fun thinking.
Psyquid grimaces, before looking at Snowstar. "Ehi Kid."
"Yes?"
"Do you have any last wish?"
"Why?"
"Nothing, just saying," Psysquid exhales, before giving a curt nod to his 'troops'. "I know this is going to hurt. I just know it."
Then the door is sliced apart as Knighthowl enters, foam from his mouth and his sword shining. He slams his shield against the ground once, before roaring.
"OVERLORD! I AM COMING FOR YOU!"
"Wonderful," Psysquid deadpans. "Really wonderful...let me show you our hospitality!"
Scraps start to float.
"The Frost shall give me strength," Snowstar states plainly, standing next to Psysquid.
"Silgoo," SilGoo snaps its claws as its central heart hums.
"COG! GUARDOGS! COG!" the Cogs hiss and spin, ready.
From a nearby pool in the room, Mr. Wuffle brings its head out and spits water angrily.
Chimera meows and barks.
Then the battle begins.
1d12= 3 + 4 (Heroic Hero) + 6 (My Sword Shines in the Night) + 12 (The Howl of Death Shall Cleave My Path) Vs 1d12= 2 + 0.5 (Dark Advisor) + 1.5 (Snowstar says: ICE WALL) + 4 (Fluffy-I am an Instrument of Death and Destruction) + 1 (Chimera) + 2 (Guardogs) + 0.50 (Cogs) + 2 (Mr. Wuffle) + 2 (SilGoo) + 1 (Home Advantage)= 25 Vs 16.50=
-8.50! The Cogs are Annihilated! Fluffy Dies! The Chimera Dies!
The carnage follows as Knighthowl's sword slashes through the air, tearing apart the Cogs as if they were made of butter. Fluffy howls and snarls, trying to bring down its paws on him, but the Heroic Hero slices through his right leg before roaring. "ABOMINATION! DIE!" Fluffy's head is removed from its body the next instant, and the construct blows to pieces. The Chimera tries to jump ahead, to bite at his sides, but all that the creature manages is to be cleaved in half in mid-air.
Knighthowl's mantle, a red cape, flutters in the air showing on its back a silver mechanism.
A wall of ice momentarily separates the survivors from the beast, but with a single well-placed blow it shatters apart.
"Can I have my last wish now?" Snowstar asks Psysquid, who just snorts.
"Welcome to my life, kid," Psysquid deadpans. "Welcome to my life."
"Now I am pissed," Knighthowl growls. "To infringe upon His work like this..." his teeth are bared to Psysquid and Snowstar, while SilGoo hisses and clicks as Mr. Wuffle goes 'Wob-Wob' with its catfish mouth.
"I will have your head!"
Psysquid's arms come up as the scraps of the Cogs start to levitate. "Thanks for the offer, but I will kindly refuse."
1d12= 7 + 2 (Naturally Psychic) + 1.5 (The Time of Ice is Now) + 6 (Unlimited Scrap Works) + ?8? (SilGoo-I will feed upon the remains of My Cogs)+2(Mr. Wuffle) +0.5 (Dark Advisor) + 1 (Home Advantage) Vs 1d12= 12 + 4(Heroic Hero) + 6 (My Shield is My Bastion)= 26 Vs 22= 4!
The metallic shards fly forth with incredible speed as Snowstar wields the power of the water nearby to create ice pillars, that he thrusts forth to aid in damaging the Heroic Hero. SilGoo charges to the fore, his claws open and his mouth wide as it shrieks.
A scratch opens up on Knighthowl's cheek.
A scratch.
A single line of red blood sprays out of said scratch as the werewolf-like creature's eyes turn crimson with fury after the barrage of ice and psychic blasts ends.
"You dare use that mockery of His works for your purposes? Your shame knows no bound!" with a ferocious roar, Knighthowl strikes back...and he looks
angry.
1d12= 12 + 4 (Heroic Hero) + 6 (My sword Shines in the Night) + 14 (The Wounded Wolf Fights Harder) Vs 1d12= 9 + 0.5 (Dark Advisor) + 1.5 (Snowstar says: ICE WALL) + 2 Mr. Wuffle. + 2 SilGoo + 1 (Home Advantage)= 36 Vs 14= -22!
The sword slashes through SilGoo in an instant, before Knighthowl bites down on Snowstar's neck with its powerful teeth and pulls, letting the side-kick's blood spray the room as Mr. Wuffle tries to eat down on Knighthowl.
The Heroic Hero grabs the fish by the mouth, the Behemoth Fish, and snaps him in half by tearing his face apart with a strong movement of his arms.
Then he turns on Psysquid.
"Mommy," Psysquid whimpers as he watches the sword come down on him.
Then a massive
wave of ink erupts from his pores, forcing Knighthowl to hold his hand in front of his mouth.
Wave of Ink: About to die? Worry not, escape by cowardice is always appreciated.
The moment done, Knighthowl is now completely covered in black ink and Psysquid is nowhere to be seen.
On the Floor, Snowstar is missing too.
Starfish Regeneration: Dead once, we understand. Dead twice, we can comprehend. Die the third time...that's the charm, isn't it?
There is a light 'plop' as something enters the pool of water nearby but, apart from that...
No one else remains in the room.
Soon, with a might roar, Knighthowl charges in the next room.
You gaze at the Heroic Hero who has entered your domain. German stands next to you, growling furiously.
You calmly clap your hands. "Well done, in getting till here," you comment. "What of Lord Gamington?"
"I do not kill those who can't put up a fight, differently from your kin," Knighthowl snarls. "Is the Overlord in the next room? She and I have a score to settle, and I will not let her run free for longer."
Wait.
Does he believes Chemista is the Dark Overlord?
He doesn't seem keen on fighting you. Probably because you lack any weaponry, appear humanoid and are, frankly, the least impressive menace of your entire army. Ever Squidconda looked more dangerous than you. With German next to you, and him wearing a lab coat...is he mistaking you for 'civilians' or something of the sort?
Do you make him see the errors of his ways? Or maybe you can avoid confrontation. Colored in black as he is he does not inspire trust...and he looks quite angry to boot. His nose is covered in ink and he snarls, coughing out dribbles of the inky substance. You could let him go through...
But then, there would be Chemista AND Cerulean.
The question is...are you willing to sacrifice those two for a chance at escaping with German, or are you going to make your last stand?
The choice...
