Assassination
Turn 9: The First to Fall
(Initiative: Capitao=10, Androxus=9, Beirus=9, Persephone=4, Clinkz=4, Kan=1, Smoke=DROPPED, Elena=DROPPED, Zultan=Arrives, Elizabeth=Arrives)Coming up with a daring and, perhaps, inadvisable plan, Capitao pushes through the pain. Materializing a pair of Sai from his chest, he charges the monster.(8-1(Pain) v 3+1+1(HUGE, reach)) though the beast has greater reach than him, and far more strength, he dodges its sweeping limb, reaching its leg, then, he jams one of his sai in just below its knee. (4-1(pain) v 4+1(HUGE)) As he goes to jab with the second sai however, he feels his injuries catching up with him, and flinches, the sai glancing off of the monsters leg.
"Swing and a miss!"Androxus nods to his new companion and gives a simple gesture, 'after you'. Obligingly, Gebura steps towards the fallen monster, blade in hand, she sprints towards the monster as it lifts itself from the ground. (5+1+1(Skill, E.G.O.) v 1+1-1(HUGE, One arm)) The creature, seeing her coming, attempts to strike back, launching itself towards the woman with the intent to bite her in half. This was not a mistake it would have the chance to reflect on. The combination of the supernatural sharpness of the organic blade, the force of Gebura's attack, and the force of the beasts hurtling body meant that the blade did not simply bite into its target, it cleaved through it. A chunk of the beasts head and torso flies separately from its body as it hits the ground dead.
Gebura proves her worth. Androxus gets: https://snk-msa.fandom.com/wiki/Sand_Marine Sand Marine
+Asset- Sand Marine, +Allies- Ptolmaic Sand Marine Crew
The ground behind them churns as grassy soil suddenly turns to the consistancy of sand, and from the surface emerges a large vessel, like a ship on land with a main cannon large enough to contain a man. As the bottom of its shovel-like treads breach the surface, the ground settles and solidifies beneath it. From the vehicles entrance emerges a soldier, with tanned skin and a red bandana covering his mouth.
"Captain Androxus, Sand Marine reporting in!"
"My my, looks like somebody has picked up quite the bit of firepower."Beirus moves quickly, a basic plan already formed in his head. Floating forward rapidly, he spins around before mounting himself in the protective compartment on the back of the harness. Getting himself into position, he fires off a will-o-wisp at the monster. (9-1(Blindfire) v 2) The purple flame collides with the beast, and it immediately begins to burn. "Chan-de chan!" He shouts, and the Gabbro Man, in spite of everything, or perhaps
because of it, understands.
The Gabbro Man charges at the beasts legs, well, 'charges' being a relative term considering that it is made of stone. (6 v 8+1+1-1(HUGE, Reach, Burning)) The beast attempts to respond with a strike of its own before the golem can reach. Its swing flies wide with the fire already acting as a distraction. This causes the Gabbro Man itself to get distracted, as it takes a failed swing at the retreating arm.
(9) "Chan, chan-de, chan-de-lure!" Beirus shouts, and Party Corn gets the gist. Lifting his cob busters, he holds them ready, charging them up, and causing the two to launch in their entirety into their target. (9&7 v 6+1-1(HUGE, Burning)) The cobs slam into its body, blowing a pair of deep holes into its torso. Then, he turns to focus on regrowing his cobs, one forming back to full size quickly, but the other will take more time.
"GENTLEMEN, BEHOL-"You already made that joke dear.""Awww..."Persephone, in uncharacteristic brutality, swings yet again at the monsters legs, targeting the one that is still unbroken. (6+1+1-1(Strength, Staff, Aimed) v 5+1-1(HUGE, Crippled)) Jumping from the broken leg, she brings her staff once again, and with yet another brutal crack, the monster topples to the ground, its legs broken.
Clinkz form retracts inwards, flesh and muscle pulling away to reveal burning bone and wrappings once again. Taking stock of himself, his ribs are clearly very damaged, though that doesn't mean overly much considering he cannot bleed, nor do they cause any further pain. (8+1(Huntsman)) It's fairly easy for him to track down where his ribs where broken, what he sees doesn't paint a particularly good picture. The bones were not simply broken off, they're in several small pieces. He'd need some form of adhesive and a decent bit of time to put it all back together, and for little gain. So instead, he moves on. (6+1+1(KTE, Rampage)) It's honestly not hard to find a large enough monster to fight, the real challenge is finding one that's alone, nevertheless, Clinkz manages. The beast is somewhere between a minotaur and a dinosaur, with chitinous plating guarding many parts of its body. A Void Crusher, while they don't have a weakpoint so much as several
strong points, they're so topheavy that they can barely stop themselves mid charge, and they're just asking to be knocked over.
Kan gestures to his worm to stand back, and levels his guns, aiming a shot from the right-side cannon. (5 v 10
+1-1(Injured)) The shot flies wide as the monster approaches and sends his cannon swinging sideways. Furtunately, the creature is too far away to properly capitalize on this opening. Seeing that one of his forces was actually now likely to be harmed, Kan tosses down another card, a brief
cloud of purple light appears with a sort of warped chime, and dissipates to reveal a swirling crystal, or rather, a set of crystals, one purple and two clear, that all seemed to be occupying the same space, and spinning
through eachother. It immediately projects a beam of energy at the grub nearby, but he tosses a haste its way anyway, he has mana to burn.
Kan only realizes that he failed to hold back his
other ally when the Moss Elemental charges the monster. Rushing in to face the somewhat larger, and far more solid creature. (10 v 4+1-1(Huge, Injured)) The Moss Elemental
crashes into the beast, wooden logs slamming into its form, and moss enveloping its limbs. Sharp branches jam into the open wounds, prying them yet wider and causing the monster to scream out as the moss-man holds it in place with its vegetative bulk.
"The best laid plans of monsters and men...""Are often interrupted by moss!Smoke, still observing The Big One, decides now would be an opportune time to strike. He attempts to pull his body back together... and he attempts again, and again. He begins to realize he had never spent this much time simply drifting in the air as mist, the nanites making up his body have drifted much too far apart, and are slowly taking parts of his mind with them. He is doomed to a slow, silent end.
"Hah! Whoopsie-daisy! That's what happens when you laze around all day am I right?"Elena desparately rumages through her Di-Cokka, trying to find another shell to load into the cannon to even attempt to stem the on-coming tide of monsters that the Star Guardians are fighting to hold at bay. A rumbling comes from the ground beneath her, and a pair of large, chitinous arms burst forth and grip onto the mini-tank. The burrowing beast pulls back into the hole quickly, burrying its catch as the Guardians swirl around, barely too late to respond.
"There's our real first blood. Tough luck dear.""Looks like somebody is grounded. Hah!With no one left to defend, the Star Guardians push onwards, shaken, but not deterred. They understand that this will only continue if they do not put a stop to it.
They move, hammers swing, lasers blast, monsters explode as they push further into the park towards their objective. Some fall slightly behind, slowing the groups progress, but they continue nonetheless.
Elsewhere in the park, down come two streams of light. From them, emerge another two Warriors. One a rough looking woman in even rougher garb, backed by a giant of a man holding a brutal whip, and a lithe girl with a blunderbuss. The other an alien brute, with one strange creature taken root on each of its two primary arms, a lanky, partially rotten elven woman in dark garb stood behind it..
And with that, the monsters make their moves
Capitao's target swings its leg, attempting to shake the annoyance loose. (1+1(HUGE) v 6+1 (Grip)) It shakes and shakes, but he doesn't come loose. Instead, his other hand comes forward, jamming the other sai in.
(2+1) Persephone winds up uninterrupted in her efforts of torment in spite of everything. Perhaps the inward tide is starting to lighten up. Nonetheless, a couple small creatures approach, but nothing of particular note.
(1+1) Kan watches as the monster entangled within the moss fights and struggles, but it can't seem to pull itself loose. It doesn't seem like anything is keen on coming to its aid.
(6+2(Sand Marine)) Attracted to the immense rumbling of the Sand Marine emerging, another monster of great size stomps forth.
(2+1+1) Clinkz and Fozzer, despite one being on fire and the other holding a flaming sword, manage to only draw the attention of a few of the lesser monsters. Though if not dealt with carefully, such could easily lead to the attention of the hunters current prey.
The beast fighting against Beirus' group stumbles from the damage it had received, but takes a swing at the Golem pestering it regardless. (2+1-1(HUGE, wounded) v 4-1-1(Stone, simple-minded)) It falters once again, its claws cutting into the ground next to the rock-man instead of the rock itself.
(2) The new arrivals, Zultan and Elizabeth, find themselves going unnoticed by all but eachother amidst the chaos.
(5) And the horde closes in on the Star Guardians, beast after beast clashing against their might, and slowly, but surely, being repelled.
