Round 69: Back on Live Air Location: A Coruña, SpainWeather Conditions: SunnyTime: Early Afternoon "Fallacy, look on the bright side, now you can stop people from escaping, that's gotta be worth something, right?" Execute attempts to make his underling's situation sound more desirable than it is. She responds,
"Sure... but it doesn't come with supernatural running ability... though I wonder..."The God is quick to interrupt her, "ANYWAY, Yuri, grab that policeman world painting and the Devil Fruit world painting, be careful not to rip them, I'll grab the painting box world painting, Fallacy, you and the Shaman should come with us, I'll be closing the portal to this world once we leave." Yuri complies and wraps up the Police-Gun World Painting, careful not to allow any of its contents to forcibly escape, and stuffs it under his arm along with the Devil Fruit World Painting. Fallacy picks up the leftover painting supplies in the area; (+Painting Supplies)
"Kay then, let's go."All of them exit from the Nuclear Silo World, (which is also wrapped up and carried away by Yuri) and making sure that the American Gunship has not spotted them, flee back into the hub world of Civil War Spain, one merely a portal route that has become the main forefront of the Wikipedia Wars competition thanks to magical shenanigans.
Execute, returning to his flock of Aztecs, rallies them all and explains the next course of action. They are to turn this mansion into a fortress with "barricades, spike traps," and the like, to repel invaders. He orders the most talented artists among them to take painting supplies and create works of art that would contain appropriate tools and structures relevant to the plan. [Fortification: 2] Efforts to fortify the mansion go poorly, as the Aztecs are unfamiliar with the architecture and materials used in the modern building. This culminates with attempted modifications to the ballroom ending with a partially collapsed roof, a broken chandelier and six incapacitated Aztecs.
Art: 5+1(Skilled Artists)] The handful of Aztecs with artistic experience begin creating their work on a large piece of canvas. They forsake brushes for the use of their hands to make broad strokes of color and shapes. Their finalized vision is a forest of plentiful raw materials, such as hardy trees for lumber and great mounds of volcanic rock to turn into obsidian. They name this painting "The Forest of Abundance". [Art: 8+1] Satisfied with this painting, Execute commissions one for medicinal purposes, but instead of drawing potions and herbs as he might expect, the artists produce the drawing of a humanoid-bird figure in royal Aztec garb, standing upon the top of a mountain. They refer to this being as "Tukeolli: The Jade Turkey" and proclaim him as the God of Disease and Injury. The artists claim that if Amihiyotzinuatmotlapal could make some sort of arrangement with Tukeolli, they would be spared from Disease and Injury, thus making medicine irrelevant.
All of the other paintings are hung on empty spaces in the Art Room, except for the Police Gun World painting. When the Aztecs tried to unfurl that painting, numerous guns sprung out of it and begin firing in all directions, leading to it being rolled back up and untouched further.
A group of Aztecs run to their leader clamoring with distressing excitement: strange metal beasts and strange looking men have been spotted on the horizon, heading straight for the mansion!
Greatness continues with her interrogation, while simultaneously bringing up her Crossbow to be used as needed. Just as she begins to ask further question and make demands, a great force accompanied by a loud metallic sound knocks her off balances and causes her to drop her weapon, while Sir Lorne falls from his horse. The peasant cries out, "Mierda, mortars!" His flock begins to chaotically disperse with bleeting sheep nervously moving in every direction as the herder leaps over a nearby fence and commences sprinting down a field. Greatness recovers her Crossbow and stance and observes the scope of damage: Sir Lorne and herself are untouched, but Hazard's tank has been obliterated, little more than a pile of burning scrap metal and ash. Sir Lorne speaks up, nervousness apparent in his otherwise firm voice, "M'lady! Shall we leave before there are more explosions?"
H4zardZ1 was neutralized in a mortar strike."Umm...the fascists?" Wipeout acts coyly in response to the questioning of the Officer. He sizes her up for a moment, hands on his hips, "Why yes, the Fascists. No listen woman, you are to turn around immediately and stay within protected waters. It would be best for you to dock your ship and head home, you wouldn't want to be the victim of a Communist torpedo strike, would you?"
Person gets out of the wrecked Flying Car, shoving the door open with his good arm, and chases after Hawk along with the Macedonian Nationalist and the Hunting Dog. [Agility: 8 vs. 2/5/2] Hawk hauls ass rather impressively in her robes and sandals, garments not made with athletic functionality in mind. Person and the Dog, still shaken by the effects of the crash, lose line-of-sight with Hawk, though the fervent Macedonian is able to keep a steady pace behind her. As the priestess runs away from the squad, the Macedonian takes his one opportunity to fire at her. [6-1(Longer Ranged Shot) vs. 1] A single bullet catches Hawk in the left side of the skull, though it is not a true headshot, though it does open up a significant wound. Person lets out a cry and falls over onto her face as the Macedonian continues to shoot at her, trying to finish her off. Under fire, she grabs her staff and turns around while her attacker is busy reloading his pistol.
Before he can fire at her, Hawk raises her Scepter of Smiting and fires a divine bolt at the Macedonian. [7 vs. 10] The revolutionary dives to the side as a quick pulse of holy power slams into the side of the church with the force of a lightning bolt, blasting chunks of bricks out from its foundation. [9 vs. 3] The Macedonian lunges his gun hand at her and fires twice, striking Hawk once in the chest. The prophet coughs up some blood and realizes that it is time to find some solid cover. [1] Spotting a section of trees nearby, Hawk races for natural protection but is betrayed by nature when she trips over a root, causing her to fall over. She recovers quickly but discovers that she's dropped her Smiting Scepter into a bush and lost sight of it. Meanwhile, Person and the Hunting Dog rejoin the Macedonian in the fight.
NAV wheels the wounded soldier over to the beach before stopping the cart and deciding that he could use a nice break from all the fighting. He sheds his human flesh and turns into a Soucouyant, which flies out into the ocean to enjoy some nice waves. As he is peacefully floating above the tranquil waters, when he is suddenly gripped in the pincers of a Giant Spanish Crab, one of the Soucouyant's natural predators, and quickly devoured. Damn, if only he would have remembered.
NAV fell victim to the food chain.Beirus flies in on his B-17 Flying Fortress, an iconic bomber of WWII, in the search of victory, and coal. He hovers over the Spanish countryside menacingly. He does spot a plume of smoke coming from one of the roads.
MidnightJaguar appears inconspicuously in the Spanish town, already sensing the presence of those freed from their mortal coil who still lingers. Her companion, a nationalist for an ethnic group of Indians, appears fairly nervous, perhaps due to the fact that there are soldiers patrolling the street, and he has an assault rifle stowed away in an innocent-looking suitcase. "What's our first move boss?"

New Quest: History in the Making
The Spanish Civil War didn't originally feature Wikipedia-Warriors. It's up to you to alter it now, for better or worse.
Condition:
*Successfully disrupt the war effort of the Spanish Communists or Fascists, (or Anarchists, but they are rarer around A Coruna and tend to be more "underground".) This can be accomplished in one of three ways:
A. Assassination: Kill an official who's rank is at equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel. (If an official has at least 500 soldiers under his command, he fills the role for this method.)
B. Sabotage: Destroy an important physical institution for a faction, such as a base, barracks, military hospital, major outpost, factory or storage area.
C. Espionage: Steal physical intelligence from one faction and give it to the leader of an enemy faction.
*Only one of these methods has to be completed in order to succeed at the mission.
Reward: 2 Points, Possible Reputation/Notoriety among Factions.
Since this took longer than expected to come out, I plan for the next turn to appear Wednesday Night.
I've added a small feature for bleeding, where a number is affixed to any blood-loss conditions indicating how long the effect has been going on for.
