FimbulvetrDeathmatchPart IV: Fading AwaySomewhere in IcelandNoon, Heavily Snowing, 650 BCE Despite the tangled web of wood splinters that now encompasses the southern side of her shield, in spite of the cold wind exacerbating the pain of her burned midriff and the hole within across her stomach, and in contrast to Jasper the horse's spooked gait as he still gallops towards the half-crocodilian Rear Admiral before them, The Valkyrie grins as she raises her spear up, ready to finish off the wounded figure. She twirls the weapon outward so the blade is pointed at Hannah Shepard, and as the Valkyrie hoists her arm back, she exclaims one more thing: "
Now, you fall!" [9 v 10-2 (Pain)] Out of pure reflex, Hannah rears her free hand back as a cloud of static and green flame overwhelms the green, scaly flesh. The hand reaches about to her face before the bladed tip of the Valkyrie's spear suddenly plunges through her palm and out the back, interrupting the ironically interruption-themed attack as blood speckles her cheek. Before she can react, the Valkyrie growls and pulls the spear away as she and Jasper ride away, ready to circle back around for another strike, hopefully the final blow.
As they properly step foot on the snowbank, parking the canoe properly for a quick getaway should the need arise, Kai Müller's face lights up as he sees the familiar trio of standing stones, perfectly placed in the white puff of ground like a tree in the dirt. "
What interesting stones we've found, Kevin! Very Skyrim, ja. You check them out, I'll set-up my telescope." Kevin gives a quick thumbs-up and walks over to the Stones, while Kai unpacks his telescope. Planting the three legs into the ground, Kai adjusts the sights on the lens and takes a quick peek up through at the sky. The cloudy noon sky looks ever more dreary up-close. Maybe this really is the end of the world. Kevin pipes up from Kai's left, next to the Warrior Stone. "
Come on, I have an idea!" he responds. Kai sets the telescope back to a neutral position and looks around at the nearby area. [Spot: 6] Nothing seems amiss, save for the sound of branches moving from the winds. Kevin waves Kai over. "
Thinking about our situation, Bruder, these have to be the actual Standing Stones. We can imbue ourselves with them. So, I could grab one and you can grab the other. It leaves one for our enemies, but we should be powerful enough to counteract it, I think."
Blood. Crimson, sticky, flowing freely from the chest of a country star with a newly fresh grudge. Johnny Cash bites back another of his free-flowing insults as he can feel his life-essence spray out from a three-pronged blade just inches from his right lung; he now has a time limit, a strict one, and if past strategy means anything, his opponent loves a good fire-trick. But how is one to breathe fire, or indeed at all, when their own lungs are compromised? As the one-armed Dark Elf grits his teeth at the comparatively less-severe bruising on the surface of his stomach's skin, Cash grinds his boots back across the snow. [10 v 1] Suddenly, with a roar of Arkansas rage, Cash prepares one more Rampart as he sprints towards Vavil. Smirking, Vavil prepares to dodge, only to be blindsided by Cash suddenly
kicking a wad of snow into his face. Startled, Vavil reacts instinctively, yelling as his right hand moves up to try and remove the snow from his eyes, only for Cash to connect, for the first time, with Rampart. A massive, concussive shield bash strikes right in the chest, snapping several ribs instantly and cracking most of the others. Launched back onto, well, his back, Vavil struggles to breathe. [Medical: 7] Fortunately, judging from the lack of blood shooting up his throat, none of those snapped ribs punctured his lungs or heart, but the pressure is certainly built on them as deep breaths cause nothing but pain. Cash smirks, and raises his mace up, pointing right at the chest. [3 v 5-2 (Pain)] Just in time, Vavil manages a pathetic roll out of the way, laying on his chest as inches away, the head of the mace connects with the snow.
Coughing up blood, filling her mouth with the taste of iron as cold steel leaves her hand, Hannah tries to stand up [Medical: 2-2 (Pain)] only to find the agony too much to bear. The combination of blood and air building in her lung cavity from the javelin doesn't help. Short of breath, Hannah collapses prone to the ground [Consciousness: 3-2 (Pain)] and slips into unconsciousness, though she is fortunately still alive and can wake up. Extra-fortunately, the Ogre Mech, though still blind, is still functioning and is able to track the sound of the galloping hooves. Firing a three-round burst blindly, the last thing Hannah sees before her vision fades black [7-2 (Blind) v 3] is one of those shots connecting against Jasper's right flank, blasting through the horse's thick musculature. In the land of the awake, Jasper yells out in pain and begins wobbling hard [Control: 6], just barely allowing The Valkyrie to cling on, though Jasper's being spooked means it's harder to stop him or control her own aim (
-2 to dismounting Jasper and Attack Rolls made on Jasper, unless he can be calmed down.)
Rolling his eyes and sighing out his disapproval at the lack of results, Ambassador Jon Benjamin can make only one true reply: "
Bah." Still, ever vigilant, he begins making his way North, still climbing the trees [Gymnastics: 6+2] with ease as he, much like a spider-monkey, hops from branch to branch. After a few minutes moving North, he takes a closer look at his surroundings. [Spot: 8] Finally, he sees them. His gifts, treasures, power: the Standing Stones. Warrior, Mage, Thief, all close to his grasp. Or, rather, closest to the grasp of a German Wiki-Warrior and his brother, reaching forward to examine them closer. [Stealth: 8] With the grace and the shadows behind him, Jon gets closer, to a better angle, seeing Kai examine the markings of the Warrior Stone with curious, beady eyes. That won't pass, as Jon unsheathes just one of his three remaining throwing knives, and aims it right at Kai's head. [10+2 (Stealth) v 6] Right as Kai's eyes leave the stone, they peer at the treeline, only to catch a knife already too close. Kai fails to react before the blade whips straight into his
right eye, splitting it apart. Kai collapses to the ground and yells in agony as he points towards Jon's rough position for Kevin to examine. [Spot vs. Stealth: 5 v 2] The crisp suit now contrasts with the dark corners of the treeline, exposing Jon right before their eyes.
Coughing roughly and struggling to breathe much at all, Vavil lolls his head in Johnny Cash's direction after the mace makes contact, and just laughs. Taken aback, Johnny Cash raises his mace up, but doesn't yet strike again. "
Well, now, funny man. Tell me," Cash says with a scowl. "
What the hell's so funny this time?" Still laughing, Vavil's eyes lazily roll up to meet Cash's own. "
Nothi'-(cough, cough), just...wondering...you sure like...to dance cl-...close...to the fire, don't you?" [1 v 5] Vavil, too enthralled in pain to think, lazily throws his broken arm out to brush against Cash's leg. Johnny Cash smirks, but Vavil lets out a more ominous laugh. "
Then burn...in Oblivion...with me." [10 v 10] Suddenly, Vavil's body
ignites in the aura of his Ancestor's Wrath, a melee-ranged cloak of flame that doesn't harm him, but does harm everything he touches. Just before he can be burned, Johnny Cash jumps back away from him. On his right, shaky arm, [Medical: 10-2 (Pain)] Vavil somehow moves himself up onto his knees, which is exemplary in his condition, and just laughs and laughs. "
Who's the funny man, now?"
BSN:
I really hope this site isn't weighted, lol. That is...a lot of tens!
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the turn, sorry for the wait.
