Turn 15
Taric, always one to move first, aims his gun, releasing a barrage of fire. The closest guards in front of him die in... exeggerated sprays of blood and gor, with the ones behind being dealth with in a similar way... except they survived. Jannele was more humanitarian, backing off, dodging around the guards using her wings to propell herself away, slashing with her claws to keep them at bay. Rebecca moved in front of Shawn protectively... only to find that the soldiers weren't even going after her. How odd... Desmond stays calm, and readies his sword in a cool manner. The first guard runs at him, and in what seems like slow motion, he moves to the side. The thoughts of the guard are literally thrown at him... 'Oh crap, I'm going to die if I don't move back.' In slow motion, the guard jumps back. Curious... the second two have no such reservations, both thrusting at Demond from either side. He sees it coming, steps back, and slashes, from one side to the other... decapitating both of them. Tarran takes a step back, raising his hands, protesting that they did nothing... but releases a blast of fire from his hands as they charge at him anyways. Kin slips into intangibility, but she notices something... none of the people are bleeding. Even the ones that got decapitated or shot... Atleast, for her. Kaguro raised his hands, finding the fine manipulation required for altering brain patterns quite difficult.. but after a few tries, he gets it. The remaining guards stumble, and fall asleep. Cal stares slightly, after spacing out, and Shawn? He tries to track what is happening... with no success. Suddenly, everything melts away, and reforms. The village guards look at the group. "More travelers...? So many people pass through here recently. Go on in..." The gates are wide open, and the streets are bustling. Cyphus yawns, from behind the group. "I told you that I'd show you something interesting. This is my world. Welcome to it." He chuckles and walks past them, into the town.
