01<DeathStar> -0-
01<DeathStar> Date: Immediately Thereafter
01<DeathStar> 6* Everyone, except Kalon's character, was on a roof top talking about the two gods and how Lenneth is being held in the church HQ after a beam of light struck the reoof after a voice saying it knew they would be there. The world turned white with pain
01<DeathStar> 6* Now people begin to come to again and find themselves pinned underneath heavy things, and the sound of ringing in their ears, especially elves.
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim, Valen, Kaelan, and Jean are pinned together in one area in darkness.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aschae, Gemane, Tal, and Sia are pinned underneath another location; remaining characters are pinned separately
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shakes her head and starts trying to shift whatever is on top of her. She groans a bit.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen leans out a groan, eyes unfocused as he still isn't completely back to himself he lets out another sound when he realized he's pinned and can't move his arms.
01<DeathStar> <Jean> owie..owie...
<Seraphna> * Sia, being a 98 pound wimp, whimpers, stuck. "That hurt..."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Grah... c-can't hear a damn thing..
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane growls in pain
<Xanatos> 6* Tal whimpers as he tries to unpin himself.
<Seraphna> * Sadye grumbles and shakes her head, looking around a moment, trying to get an idea of what's on her to see if she can slip free.
01<DeathStar> 6* The rocks over Valen's group begin to move; they're actually not rocks, but pieces of the building
01<DeathStar> 6* Each of them seem to have varying amounts of materials on them. Those in a group can see each other barely in the darkness
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Vale... help out... push."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks as his eye begin to focus slightly again. He shakes hsi head slightly. What?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan groans, "Push at the rubble with me."
01<DeathStar> 6* The rocks over Valen's group weaken and a hand grabs Jean, yanking her out
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane begins to rock with Tal and they knock themselves and Aschae and Sia free
<Xanatos> 6* Valen widens his. Jean!
<@Kit> 6Aschae coughs, holding her ears.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a noise and shakes his head, quickly scrambling to get free.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grunts and pushes harder now in desperation to get free. "J-Jean..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane pulls ASchae up, her fox ears and tail showing. Harbinger, with no eyes, holds Jean. He shifts and leaps up onto another roof top effortlessly
<@Kit> 6Nephilim tries, but she's a weakling and lightweight
<Seraphna> * Seth keeps trying to wriggle out of his own predicament.
<Seraphna> * Sia squeaks. "J-Jean!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan manages to knock herself lose along with Nephilim, but only due to Harbinger getting Jean. Seth breaks free am oment later
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grits his teeth and tenses, trying to get himself free.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan helps pull Valen free.
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls herself up and grabs at her bow, looking up at the roof.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal smacks at himself to get the dust off and glances up, scrambling to climbg out of the rubble fully.
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen busts out with KAelan's help. Parita's leg is seen from under neath a rock and Ruun, who was leaving, can be seen laying further away, buried a little with redness about her
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose breaks free, forming her outfit she first battled them in, her clothes ripping off. She eyes JEan being taken with her good eye
<Seraphna> * Seth looks for a good shot, not wanting to shoot Jean. "D-Damnit..."
01<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, Angelus lands in front of the group, between them and Harbinger
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Panda..!? Ruun!?" 6She struggles, wriggling under her bit of buiding
01<DeathStar> <Angelus> Well, well.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods to Kaelan and shifts to scramble to move forward but pauses and eyes Angelus
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose breaksNephilim free
<@Kit> 6Aschae throws a convergance of each level of fireball at Angelus' head as he speaks
01<DeathStar> 6* Angelus points at Aschae's chest and fires a holy beam at it
<@Kit> 6Nephilim jerks, then nods to Rose and goes to try and help Parita and Ruun
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns, putting a hand on her sword.
01<DeathStar> 6* Angelus is then struck by the fire, his shield barely protecting him
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose moves after Nephilim and helps Nephilim free Parita. She looks a little roughed up, and is alive but unconcious
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns and tosses her own Lvl 3 fireball at Angelus.
<@Kit> 6Aschae's eyes widen, still not hearing properly, trying to form her level two shield since the level one wasn't effective in the last conflict at the last second
01<DeathStar> 6* Angelus knocks it aside toward Valen
01<DeathStar> 6* The shield deflects the beam, barely
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pushes his hand forward and focus' attempting to use Templar Lightning.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shoves Valen to one side and leaps the other way.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks as he's knocked aside and nods to Valen. ..thank you. 6He mumurs.
01<DeathStar> 6* Kaelan protects Valen, and his lightning goes wild, striking a building
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane rushes at Angelus, but he twists and fires a beam into her chest, hurling her away
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sorry, but you're no good cooked."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal growls and moves in, trying to claw out at Angelus.
<Seraphna> * Seth retrains his bow on Angelus, waiting for an opening.
<@Kit> <Aschae> M-Master..!" 6She shifts to try and catch Gemane
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane coughs, her chest burned and blistered from the strike
01<DeathStar> 6* Angelus leaps up in the air over Tal, then spins, driving his feet into him and into the ground
01<DeathStar> 6* As Nephilim uncovers Ruun, she'd see blood spiling out from her side
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets out a yelp and goes smashing down into the ground.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We have to attack as a group."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> D-Damn it.." 6She pulls Ruun into her arms and starts humming her healing song. Aschae drags Gemane over to her.
01<DeathStar> <Angelus> I've stalled you long enough. See you soon. 6* He vanishes; at that moment the sounds of templars approaching from all sides can be seen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls out his saber and then pauses. Damnit.
01<DeathStar> 6* There's two streets leading to them, from the south and west. There's four buildings in tact around them
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Damnit all..." *she draws her sword* "We need to retreat."
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane coughs. "Sorry...I'll be fine...just won't look as bouncyh now..
<Xanatos> 6* Tal groans and tries to get to his feet.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose helps Tal uip
<Seraphna> * Sia puffs her cheeks.
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit can be seen off to one side as well, bleeding
<Xanatos> <Valen> Which way? I believe we're surrounded.
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim's healing slows the bleeding.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas is no where to be seen since the attack
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I don't know this city... Neph? Where do we go?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Templars begin to come into sight; there's no back alleys to escape down
01<DeathStar> 6* And both roads are covered
<Xanatos> 6* Tal nods to Rose and moves to help up the little girl, cradling her in an arm.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Can't just yet... Ruun...
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns worriedly at that. "We need to go over again, the rooftops."
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose lets Tal take Lit, moving over and lifting up Lit, then eyes her wounds. She drags her over to Nephilim
<Xanatos> <Valen> To the roof, we have to get to the roofs. 6He moves to begin climing up.
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun groans in pain and the bleeding stops, but she's not in good shape to be moved
01<DeathStar> <Ruun> Ah...tc...Nephilim...run...without me..
<@Kit> <Aschae> That.... That devil..." 6She hisses.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods and moves to follow him, "Let's go everyone. Up."
<Seraphna> * Sia blinks as Seth helps her climb up, looking to other to help them too.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane breathes in pain and moves to climb ande pull aSchae up
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose holds Lit, who looks in bad shape to be moved as well
<Xanatos> 6* Tal moves to climb, making sure not to hurt little Panda anymore.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Can't we buy a little time?
<Seraphna> * Sia nods and hits the ground before going up summoning Albert.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Albert will buy us time!"
<@Kit> 6Aschae flexes her fingers, eyeing Templars.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane reaches the top. Rose tries to climb with Lit, but looks like she's not doing her any good
<Seraphna> Sia> "Albert, protect us while we escape!" *she squeks as Seth pulls her up*
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars begin to converge on Nephilim and Rose while the others reach the top.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose sets Lit on the roof, who continues to bleed, then leaps back down and rushes at the south group of templars
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks and moves to lift up Lit, moving her off to the side and starts trying some of his own healing on her.
<Seraphna> * Sia sics Albert on the Templars.
01<DeathStar> 6* Parita makes a slight noise and holds Tal
01<DeathStar> <Parita> Ears hurt
<@Kit> 6Aschae brings forth a mist of acid rain the Templars to weaken their strength and armor
<Xanatos> <Tal> Shhshh. Rest easy little one, going to get you out of here.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars begin to fire lightning at the golem, jekring as the rain comes down; some aim arrows and unleash it at the roof. Gemane shifts to pull Aschae down and cover her
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun winces in pain as Nephilim heals her and forces herself up, her legl ooking broken and moves for a building to climb
<Seraphna> * Seth ducks, pulling Sia down, Kaelan holds up her shield and lowers herself quickly.
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen's healing only slows the bleeding, but it keeps her from bleeding out
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We need to move now. We need a direction, where can we go?"
<Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks at the arrows and forms an armor of earth, turning his back to protect Parita.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose is quickly covered in templars; Albert is quickly taken out with magic
<@Kit> 6Nephilim pulls out the spearhandle, extends it and activates it, then dashes forward to help Rose in striking down templars closest to them using a practiced staff technique, much more fluid than Aschae's.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know. I...I've never been here. 6He breaths out, shifting to wrap some bandaged around Lit's wound.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> C'mon Rosie. We just need to cover for Ruunie. With me, back to back.
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim's magic spear beginsw to tear through armor easily and rip holes in it. Rose forms crystal spikes and smashes them up through armor, too; she touches armor and shatters it with her crystal touch
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose then flips and lands with her back to Nephilim, forming crystal spears to hold
<Seraphna> * Sia calls a Gale Storm down on a group of Templars. Careful of thsoe fighting below.
01<DeathStar> 6* Parita squeaks and peers upat the earth armor
01<DeathStar> <PArita> Wow
01<DeathStar> 6* Sia's storm knocks Templars around and into walls
<Xanatos> <Tal> See? 6*He looks up and glances around. We need to get out of here. Give us a direction little one.
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun reaches the top despite a broken leg
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls up his bow and starts firing Fire Arrows at the archers.
01<DeathStar> <Ruun> The church HQ is that way... 6* She points. "I'll take Parita and hide her."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and nods to Ruun, holding out Parita. Be careful. And thank you.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mm... they're still stalling us. We need to get there before they can do anything to Jean."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen leans over the edge and lets out a whistle. Let's go! 6he calls out to nephilim and Rose.
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun takes Parita. Then shifts to leap to the next roof top with her good leg.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose and Nephilim hold the templars off surprisingly well, but they begin to get their mage users ready. Rose grabs Nephilim and runs, throwing her up to the roof top
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Ruunie.." 6She lunges forward stabbing one, then backs up, calling out. 1"If you need somewhere to go, I'm sure you can find us! I certainly couldn't lose you before you little tagalong runt!"
<@Kit> 6Nephilim lets out a wail, flailing, then adjusts like a cat and flips, landing on her feet panting with wide eyes.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose leaps up to the roof top, right as bolts of templar lightning strike her back; she falls face down on the roof beside Lit
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars charge and begin to attack the b uilding, trying to bring it down under them. Ruun peers back and nods at Nephilim, then hurries onward, knowing the templars don't wnat them
<@Kit> <Aschae> Rose..?"
<Xanatos> 6* Tal lets the rocks fall off of himself and jerks, moving to check Rose over.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose's back is badly burned and bleeding. She tries to stand up
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grabs up Rose and starts carrying her. "We move, now."
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose winces as she's carried.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I can sing as we go. I'm multi-talented.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen finishes wrappign to the best of his abilities, which isn't the best and then moves to lift her up and move towards the church.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane pants, shifting and taking a rope and leaping to the next building, then holds the rope tight
<Seraphna> * SIa calls down another Gale Storm and begins to move.
01<DeathStar> 6* Sia's second gale Storm fails
<Seraphna> * Sia pouts and rushes to move then.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim brandishes the spear threateningly, starting to sing her healing song out loud as she covers their rear. Aschae angrily stands up and hurtles a Super Fireball down for the most concentrated group of their mage templars.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal tenses and dashes to leap over by Gemane.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan winds jumps with Rose to the next roof.
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way after them.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars make noises as they burn.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim runs along the rope nimbly, Aschae clumsily tries, but then jumps and turns, knocking herself with a gale burst across
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hrns and shifts to use the rope to cross, careful not to drop Lit.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane catches Aschae and uses a foot to keep the rope taunt, her leg muscles flexzing
<Seraphna> * Seth grabs Sia and helps her across the after Valen crosses.
01<DeathStar> 6* Once Valen is across, Gemane lets the rope go and leaps back to the old roof, right as templars are coming, and focuses energy into her hand and strikes the roof in five spots, leaping back over as it breaks apart on the templars
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to set Lit down. I don't know who this is, but they're hurt beyond my abilities.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> We c an't stop here. come on. 6* She hurries across a line of gem stone cases to another roof
<@Kit> <Aschae> Nephilim brought her.
01<DeathStar> 6* Carryinfg Aschae
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit's wounds continue to heal asNephilim sings
<@Kit> 6Nephilim eyes Valen, unwilling to stop her song to explain
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks and lifts her up, moving after Gem. Tal moves along too, frowning. Worried 'bout Jeannie.
<Seraphna> * Seth sets Sia down on the roof and peers back. "Don't have time to lick wounds right now." She picks up Sia againa nd heads after Gename, Kaelan makes her way after them.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose winces, but never cries out, despite Kaelan's carrying her making her body hurt
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane hurries and eyes a road between them and the row of buildings they need; there's vendor stations below. People seem to be looking about, wondering what the boom earlier was
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll get you healing soon... sorry girl."
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane growls and her tail, dirty and sooty, is stiff, then leaps down on top of a vendor stall, then off; her light weight doesn't topple it
<@Kit> 6Aschae uses her magic to create a veiling mist along the road
01<DeathStar> 6* At that moment a carriage rides up with Thomas driving it
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Inside
<@Kit> 6Nephilim leaps down in the same manner as Gemane
01<DeathStar> <Vendor> H-Hey!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks and then slips around, dropping down with Lit, but he catchses himself ever so often so the full force of two people don't crash onto the stall.
01<DeathStar> 6* People look around at the mis in confusion
<Seraphna> * Seth, as Sadye followd down the same way with Sia, Kaelan making her way down with Rose.
01<DeathStar> 6* As Kaelan lands on the vendor stall, it breaks under her bulk
01<DeathStar> <Vendor> My stall! 6* He eyes his fruit stall in ruins, fruit rolling about
<Xanatos> 6* Tal waits for everyone to jump, pausing to look over his shoulder. He gulps and whines slightly, then jerks around to drops, using his claws to slide down the side of the building.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan groans and tosses 5 gold pieces at teh vendor and move with Rose to teh carriage.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets Lit inside the cart.
<Seraphna> * Seth and Sia get in the cart.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim ushes the others in, then leaps atop the cart foreboding room
<Xanatos> <Valen> Seth on top. You'll have better range if we get attacked.
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit moans in her unconscious state; her bloodied body mended enough it stops right as Nephilim runs out of juice to heal anymore
<Xanatos> 6* Tal scrambles onto the cart and pants.
<Seraphna> * Seth nods and moves on top of the cart.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane gets ASchae in the cart, then hops on top
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets in with Rose, setting her down.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen leans out slightly and pats the cart. I believe that's all of us Thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim's healing managed to heal her breasts so they're only slightly red now from the attack, and Rose's back isn't in terrible shape anymore
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas gets the horses going, moving down the misty street. The people are later unable to tell the templars which way they went
<@Kit> 6Nephilim collapses on top of the cart, more out of it than she thought
<Xanatos> 6* Valen checks everyone over and lets out a sound.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks and pats Nephilim's face. You dead?
<@Kit> 6Nephilim mouths silently that she'll kill him-- looking grouchier than angry
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks at Neph fondly. "...Good to see you again."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal's ears droop and he leans back slightly.
<Seraphna> * Seth keeps an eye out, low on the cart, bow ready.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose looks weak, her metallic strange thingsw on her head cracked
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So... who are our new friends?"
<Xanatos> <Tal> Tal'Ka. Gemane. Rose.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods to Tal. "You're Tal'Ka. Nice to meet you, I'm Kaelan Di'neer."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal nods slightly but looks distracted, peering ahead. They got Jeannie, Tom.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> We'll figure this out
01<DeathStar> 6* He rides into an alley, seeing a lot of armor ahead near the church
01<DeathStar> 6* Stopping the carriage there, he climbs out
01<DeathStar> 6* Up
<@Kit> <Aschae> He's next. He's next." 6She utters repeatedly, dark in tone
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, frowning. "So two gods... possibly three if they've turned Lenneth."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal hops off the carriage.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Jean..." *she climbs out of the carriage, Seth hops down*
<Xanatos> <Tal> Can't let them have her.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "No, we can't."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets out of the cart but climbs up on top to check on Nephilim.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gets out, still frowning.
01<DeathStar> 6* On top of the building Thomas spies on the church ahead, frowning
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit sleeps in the carriage, no longer in danger, so she can be left there if Nephilim opts to
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane shifts, taking Aschae, and c limbs up with her, setting her down and breathing in pain
<Seraphna> * Seth climbs up to join him. He peers ahead. "We're gonna need Animas or a miracle to pull this one off."
<Xanatos> 6* Tal climbs up and kneels by Thomas. Too many?
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas points; there appears to be about 100 templars on guard
<Xanatos> 6* Tal frowns. Yes. Too many.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim sits up reluctantly. 1"... Ungh. Is this our escape? A carriage?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "If we had a way around..."
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> How many animas do we have... 6* He pulls out Anima E.
<Xanatos> <Valen> No escape for us. We're going to the enemy.
<Seraphna> Seth> "We brought T, do you still have D?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose climbs up despite being in bad shape and kneels beside the others up top. Gemane narrows her eyes
<Seraphna> Sia> "D's here." *she says, climbing up slowly*
<Xanatos> <Tal> We have 3 robut things?
<Xanatos> NRP: er ore monster
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I mean getting out of here. I can't leave Tranquility.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> They could handle the templars; but they'd draw the attention of the gods
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> The only reason they likely held off is they wanted us to come here with everything they had so they could strike
<Xanatos> <Tal> Could be good. Get their attention, could slip in and save jean.
<Seraphna> Sia> "We should use people attuned to each Anima if we want to stand a chance."
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> I don't tihnk anyone is attuned but you
<Xanatos> <Valen> She's inside the carriage. But if you plan on leaving, you probably should before we get started.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm attuned to T... somewhat. I've used it several battles."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> If we leave her, she's dead, Val. Just like Mercy.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan twitches.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Mercy is not dead.
<Xanatos> NRP: Kaelan can't hear them if she's on the roof.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I know she's not-- grah! Use your head, boy!
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I'm saying she's just like Mercy. Associated with us at the moment.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ah. Of course, but we can't take her along or she'll get murdered in the battle.
<Seraphna> Seth> "So who will use this new one? You, Tommo?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> No
<@Kit> <Nephilim> ... That's it.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> What's it?
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane's tail swishes due to her pain
<@Kit> <Nephilim> The anima. I'll use it and take her with me. That's the only solution, eh?
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> It will work, but I'd avoid combat with a god if she's in it with you
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Focus on the templars
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I'm not one of the stubborn kids, Tom, I'd avoid combat with a god either way.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal rubs his ears. I can fight gods.
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a bit and crosses his arms. "Now, how do the rest of us get inside, even with a distraction?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes the high walls around the church complex
<Xanatos> 6* Tal glances around.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Throw rope up over those walls and climb... perhaps
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I doubt Tom wants to use his dad's old duds. E was it? Toss it to me.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas tosses it over the edge so it falls toward the cart
<@Kit> 6Nephilim shifts to catch it. 1"Just tell me what you need done and where to meet you after."
<@Kit> <Aschae> Master... I should carry you.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> Me?
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> ... 6* He thinks
<@Kit> 6Aschae nods. 1"I'm not hurt."
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Once we do this, where can we run.... south....
<Seraphna> Sia> "Three Anima should be able to handle the Templars... but we'll be hard pressed if a God shows up. So we really should ahve an escape plan."
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> I'm fine. *she sniffs*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen places a dried flower on Neph's lap. Could luck. And please do not die. 6He smiles and shifts to climb up, using his higher perception to look the curch over.
<@Kit> 6Aschae uses her staff to swat Gemane's butt
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The others are waiting for us in Oas... but I'm not sure we should draw them that way."
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane squeaks
<Seraphna> Sia> "There's still one of Jean's gems to the north."
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> No, we can't leave the city
<Xanatos> <Tal> Thought we got that already. There's another!?
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and glances to thomas.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> We'd be easily spotted in the desert..
<@Kit> 6Nephilim peers at the flower, flustering slightly, then laughs arrogantly. 1"Me? Die? Ha ha ha. Who told you I'd like flowers, boy, Zeal? You'd better not get yourself dead again or I'll dance on your grave!"
<Seraphna> Sia> "What are the chances of a Light Stone here?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> I don't know; but the thieves can hide us in the city. The city is large.
<@Kit> 6Aschae hops down from Gemane's arms when she squeaks and shifts to hoist her into her own arms cradled.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> A person could spend days exploring it all
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and peers over. I missed you too Nephilim. 6He then looks back to walls, looking for a place he could get in.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane flusters red. "H-Hey!"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "So... if the Anima are overpowered... Neph can get Sia and myself into hiding?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> She knows the city best
<@Kit> 6Aschae kisses Gemane's cheek. 1"Don't complain, master. You can punish me later for disobeying if you like."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Not if. When. 6Tal points out.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> During the battle, I want one of you to punch in that wall. 6* He points at the left wall
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> AFter that, attack the templars. We'll go through the wall
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> We get Jean and Lenneth, then we run and hide in the city. We'll meet at Ruun's place
<Seraphna> * Sia nods. "I'm good at punching!"
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Right. Then retreat to one of the guild's safe houses. I'm sure Ruun's kept the main ones intact. We can return to Ruun's underground through the passages out of sight.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Won't they be able to track Lenneth?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "This is a bit of a reckless plan... but we have little choice."
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> If they can, then we're dead no matter where she's at with us
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas eyes Valen, meaning they can't have Lenneth then
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> all safe houses have underground tunnels in Sinai? How complex?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns. Hn.
<Seraphna> Sia> "They haven't killed Mistress yet. Perhaps they're going to use a collar?"
<@Kit> <Aschae> Lenneth said she was going to inquire of recreating one.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Might be why they're here with her."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> There's what you might as well call an underground Sinai.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Then if there's another collar, we need to obtain it and place it on Lenneth. Else we'll have to leave her behind.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Alright, we get JEan and get to a safe house. 6* He tosses Nephilim a map of the city. "Mark where the closest ones are so we can emmorize the map."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Hence the perfect place for founding the guild despite it being a natural fortress location thanks to unhospitable sands. I don't know if it's ruins, a failed city or created after the fact though, Thomas.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Only count on one of the two gods we know are the enemy to actually come after the Animas... they probably know we're already going to do it."
<@Kit> 6Nephilim pauses, then nods, scratching off several and rolls it up, tossing it back
<Xanatos> 6* Tal kneels there and rests while they all plan.
<@Kit> <Aschae> If they know-- then they also know I'll kill anyone who stands in my way.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Harbinger does add that little flaw in our plans that he usually knows what we're doing."
<Xanatos> <Valen> It would be good if we could do something he couldn't see.
<@Kit> <Aschae> We do.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh? 6He glances to Aschae.
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns a bit. "Like what?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas rolls it out for everyone to study
<Seraphna> * Kaelan, Sia and Seth look at it.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal sits up and stares at it, while Valen also pausing in his looking to peer at it.
<@Kit> <Aschae> Harbinger clearly can't see everything or we wouldn't still be alive and breathing-- nor would the Angel have ever made it out of Navarro-- never would have made so many friends. Angelus wouldn't have lost within her mind. Lenneth would never have fallen in love with me, nor I with her. Master would not have come to our aid nor would the Azuha be hidden.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose looks at it blankly
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> True. <Thomas> Lenneth mentioned a book once that foretold things; maybe Harbinger just uses that
<Seraphna> Seth> "You're sayin we need to count on him not being able to see everything."
<Xanatos> <Valen> A book? If we could get ahold of that...6He hmms.
<@Kit> <Aschae> If you count on something you're dead.
<Seraphna> Sia> "It's possible if it's something like a boook that... well... books have to follow a character right?"
<@Kit> <Aschae> Don't be overconfident. His overconfidence will be how I kill him.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Maybe the focus is on Jean?"
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> alright; those with animas, get into position and attack in 5 minsw
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> The rest, with me
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas climbs down
<@Kit> <Aschae> No, or he would have been awaiting her fall.
<@Kit> <Aschae> Best not to speculate on the endless possibilities. Just do not fall prey to the fear that all is foretold. Destiny is crafted by fate immaterial and ever changing.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal shifts to his feet and climbs down, Valen moving along after Thomas.
<Seraphna> * Sia, Seth and Kaelan make their way down.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim drops down to Tranquility, silently awaiting the time.
<Seraphna> * Sia and Kaelan move to join Nephilim.
01<DeathStar> <Lit> ...ungh...
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas moves and hurries to one side of a street, waiting in the shade of a building down the street
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way after Thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose follows after Tal
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers at Thomas, then his lack of arm, frowning to himself.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pause onces they're in spot and checks Rose over.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> There, there, easy does it Tranquility.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Hurt?
01<DeathStar> <Rose> Will live
01<DeathStar> <Lit> Mistress...?
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane huffs as she's carried
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas waits, his one good hand tapping out seconds
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Hey, there's no need to call me that. Though I'm flattered I'm upgraded from paying heathen.
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit opens her eyes, peering about the carriage
<Seraphna> * Kaelan chuckles a bit.
<Seraphna> Sia> "We need to get in place."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen crosses his arms and closes his eyes, suddenly glad Rachael isn't here.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> As much as it pains me to say this, I'm thinking I'll up your pay from double to triple, sweetie. You've earned hazard pay.
01<DeathStar> <Lit> I-I--but I haven't done anything to deserve..
01<DeathStar> 6* 5 minutes strikes
<@Kit> <Nephilim> You're hurt because of me." 6She goes to activate E.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Sia move out and activate T and D respectively.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> So, as your employer, just shut up and let me handle it, eh?
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Might get a little cramped for a bit, but we got practive getting cozy in the desert.
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit shuts up and holds Nephilim as E, D, and T form, crushing the poor carriage. and horse
<Xanatos> 6* Tal nods to Rose, but still looks concerned, he looks antsy and ready to fight, figeting.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> ... Aw, damn. Val's not gonna like me for that..
01<DeathStar> 6* As the giants rise up, the templars point at the giants
01<DeathStar> 6* Lightning begins to strike them. E's two swords, each a different type, seem ready
<@Kit> 6Nephilim charges, bringing out the Anima's dual blades and starts going blender on them
<Seraphna> * D moves in at them as T forms a large two handed sword. D calls up an E. Defense shield.
01<DeathStar> 6* The two giant ore swords begin to smash on people; due to their size they can't do as much damage accurately, but it does allow them to smack the templars about
<Seraphna> * T begins to slam it's blade down on Templars and the ground below them, as D moves through the attacks for the wall.
01<DeathStar> 6* As E and T smash the templars, magic lightning bolts strike them, larger than nromal; templar mages rise up all around on roof tops, striking the two and damaging them
01<DeathStar> 6* D reaches the wall and mages rise up on top of that, striking it with lightning
<Seraphna> * D punches at the wall before turning back to face the Templars, T continues to attack the ground crews.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> They were ready for us
01<DeathStar> 6* The wall smashes in and the mages keep attacking, though two do fall with the wall. Leruste arrives on the scene near the animas, not Thomas' group
<Seraphna> * D maintains it's E-Defense shield and punches at the spots on the wall with mages.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Of course they are. They have that book, correct? 6He tenses and turns, moving for the hole.
<@Kit> 6E moves in to smash the wall Thomas asked for-- masking the intent by slashing diagonally so it can attack specially at the mages
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns. "They'll be waiting for us inside then, we at least know what to expect.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas follows; those on the ground, except Leruste, move off camera
01<DeathStar> 6* E cuts into some mages and the E Shield knocks magic back, striking some, but the E Shield begins to weaken
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars strike at the legs, trying to climb up them
<@Kit> 6Nephilim jumps and stomps, slashing wildly, only intending to hit people hard and fast so they can't concentrate on attacking, leaving specifics to the other two animas
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger appears in the sky and focuses; the ground erupts around the three animas and rock hands grab them. One templar mage on the roof sees Leruste, aiming at him and firing a bolt of fire
<@Kit> 6Nephilim pauses, then starts striking into the rock holding her with both swords.
<kalonZombie> *Leruste attempts to dodge it and climb the building with his Prince of Persia skill maxxed out
<Seraphna> * T starts trying to punch and smack the hands off while D pushes out, activating a P Defense shield and trying to break free.
01<DeathStar> 6* Due to jumping, the hands can't grab Nephilim as well and she breaks free quickly. She'd see five templars climbing, one being a mage, who begins to fire magic lgihtning into her crotch
<@Kit> 6Nephilim closes the Anima's legs to crush that mage, then hurtles her swords up at Harbinger
01<DeathStar> 6* T smacks them and they hold on tightly, while D breaks free. Leruste climbs up the building across from the church HQ, and the mage on top of it grabs his staff, swinging it at him. Leruste will need to climb back down, cross the street with three angry animas, one floating god, and about 70 templars to reach the church
01<DeathStar> 6* Though he could take the long way around, and enter a hole in the wall, but it'l ltake longer
<Seraphna> * D moves to strike at the hand on T.
<kalonZombie> *Or he could jump from building to building maybe? Either way he tries to duck the Templar's swing and grab the staff for himself
01<DeathStar> 6* D breaks T free while E smashes a mage.
01<DeathStar> 6* There's no buildings near the HQ to jump to; they designed it specifically for people not to do that
<Seraphna> * T swings it's sword for the floating God. While D smashes at more mages.
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste ducks the swing and grabs the staff. The mage struggles with it to try to g et it free, ironically putting himself at the edge
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger holds out his hands and grabs the swords as they are thrown, and parries T's sword
<kalonZombie> *He'll take the long way then, kicking the at the Templar
<@Kit> <Nephilim> ...Well I'll be.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Wow. I'm impressed."
<@Kit> 6Nephilim sees if E has any specials for those swords or at least a recall button.
01<DeathStar> 6* D's drills take out more mages, mooshing them while Leruste kicks a mage off the edge. There is one quick one; if he could get an anima's attention and jumnp onto it, they could get him closr
<kalonZombie> *He swings the staff of the mage around, trying to get their attention
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim could indeed recall the swords to herself; while she has 15 points she could spend on upgrading E, who's info will be up this weekend, she can't spend those 15 until this weekend, leaving just the basic move - swing sword and move about. Though E seems to be very quick and fast
<Seraphna> * T's sword swings out, stopping just before the place Leruste stands, foming an impromptu birdge as D guards her.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger shifts to swing the swords at D's head
<kalonZombie> *Leruste takes the advantage and runs across the sword
<Seraphna> * D raises the P Defesnse and raises an arm to block.
01<DeathStar> 6* E's swords break through the defense easily and begin to cut into the arm
<@Kit> 6Nephilim makes a face and tries recalling the swords
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger then is jerked toward E as the swords re-enter it's hands. Templars on the ground begin to climb up T; one leaps onto the sword in front of Leruste
01<DeathStar> 6* The large Templar knight, in heavy armor, charges Leruste
<@Kit> 6E in the meantime is guided to run and jump, performing a nimble kick at Harbinger as he flies at her from her move
<kalonZombie> *Leruste swings at the knight while trying to dance out of the way, aiming for the back of his legs
<Seraphna> * T shifts it's legs as Kaelan calls out, "Leruste, watch it!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger is kicked and sent crashing into a pile of templars; when E lands from the kick, the ground shakes. People, who are watching in horror, scream about the angel's people killing the city
<@Kit> <Nephilim> See that coming, bitch!?
01<DeathStar> 6* The Knight stumbles as the back of the legs are struck, stumbling near the edge of the sword
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Nephilim, careful of the city! We don't harm the innocent!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste has 5 seconds to kick him off before he recovers
01<DeathStar> 5
01<DeathStar> 4
<@Kit> 6Nephilim descends toward the pile of templars and a Harbinger, starting to slash down into it repeatedly.
<kalonZombie> *Kicks*
01<DeathStar> 6* The Knight falls off
<@Kit> <Nephilim> I caused a shake, they're just making assumptions, Kael! Don't lose focus!
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim's E swords slash into the templars, cutting bodies up and sending tyhem flying; people stare in horror, some crying out men's names
<Seraphna> * Kaelan then tilts the sword sending Leruste sliding to her shoulder. "Just be careful."
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste would find himself sliding toward an ore shoulder. ouch
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Careful is my middle name!
<kalonZombie> *Leruste attempts to use his Prince of Persia skill to slow the fall
<@Kit> 6Inside E, Nephilim mutters darkly. 1"I know damn well some of these might be like Zeal I'm dicing.. but you can't... fight a war you... just can't fight..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste manages to flip onto the shoulder
<kalonZombie> *And hangs on for dear life
<Seraphna> Sia> "How much longer?"
01<DeathStar> 6* The bodies of templars go flying up in the air and Harbinger aims at E's head, firing a balst that knocks E flat onto it's back, shaking the area. Lit slams onto Nephilim, her face between her legs
01<DeathStar> 6* T will have to walk over to the church HQ to put Leruste down so he can follow theo thers inside
<@Kit> 6Nephilim flails, now blinded by a naked redheads treasure
<Seraphna> * Sia comes in at Harbinger and attempts to drive her drill at him. T makes her way to the HQ.
01<DeathStar> 6* E flails wildly, and it's swords strike D's side
01<DeathStar> 6* The mage's recover and fire blasts at D while it's still in P Defense mode, and the lightning tears chunks off
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So we winning or what?
<Seraphna> * D stumbles and corrects itself. She then cries out as she's struck again, shifting to E defense.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger dodges the drill, forseeing it's movement, then moves in and punches through it's leg while it's in E defense, then rips out something that looks like blood and flesh inside the rock. D howls
<@Kit> 6Nephilim slides Tranquility onto her lap. 1"Um, hold on will you, Lit? That's dangerous."
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit hangs onto Nephilim - tightly
01<DeathStar> 6* T reaches the HQ and can put Leruste down.
<Seraphna> Sia> "D!!!" *she draws back on full defense now*
<@Kit> 6Nephilim shifts E's leg to kick at Harbinger again, then flip to thier feet
<Seraphna> * T sets Leruste down then moves to rejoin the fight.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger is kicked and knocked back, firing a blast at E's chest and blowing a hole through it
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> I forsee all that you will do
01<DeathStar> 6* He stands at the base of a building with people in it; if they knock it on him, it would hurt
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Much like you can't risk hitting me here
<Seraphna> T> "Coward!"
<@Kit> <Nephilim> You didn't foresee me owning your face earlier you cocky little son of a bitch.." 6She huffs, holding one of the swords in front of the hole, thinking.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger gathers holy energy into his hands, silver blood running down his lips
<kalonZombie> *Leruste watches in awe. They're fighting a future-seeing god. "They're all gods-damn insane!"
<Seraphna> * D shifts and readies its drill.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Heh heh. I get it. You see everything, don't you, Harbinger?
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> I forsee your deaths here
<@Kit> 6Nephilim starts moving E toward him. 1"All we have to do is pick you up and crush you in our hands. Who says we need to hit you?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger narrows his empty eye sockets
<Seraphna> * T stands ready. Then shifts forward as well.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Bring it you little shit.
<Seraphna> * D starts to lumber forward. "And you're not going to be able to dodge all of us. Which do you forsee crushing you?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger remains right there in front of it
<@Kit> 6Nephilim grabs D by the arm and shoves it in front of her. 1"Single file, folks. I'm going to make a Harbinger snowball."
01<DeathStar> 6* Templars charge into the complex after Leruste
01<DeathStar> 6* As D is shoved in front, Harbinger unleashes a blast so fast, it's like a blink; a hole appears in D's chest, then E's chest
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Whoop! *He heads inside
01<DeathStar> 6* Both ore monsters roar and break apart, dropping Nephilim and Sia to the ground, the gauntlets detatching and bouncing. Harbinger blinks out of sighty, then reappears, grabbing both
<@Kit> 6Nephilim opens her mouth and singers her 2nd level shield, her earth armor and lv2 earth shield at the same time.
01<DeathStar> 6* He then begins to slide both on his arms
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns and tries to unleash a Gale Storm at him.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim then grabs her spear handle and activates it, going for the neck.
<Seraphna> Sia> "Now you don't!"
01<DeathStar> 6* The Gale Storm knocks Harbinger away; 30 templars rush in at them.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger flies past the templars, rolling with it. Lit holds onto Neph, slowing her down
<Seraphna> * Sia summons Albert, directing him at the Templars, looking for the gauntlets.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim grinds her teth, whirling the spear over her head and rushes straight for Harbinger, letting her compiled defenses do the work of helping her get to him and defend Tranquility prioritized over herself. She can't let Harbinger get back up.
01<DeathStar> 6* Both are gone. Suddenly E forms up behind the templars
01<DeathStar> 6* Due to Lit slowing her down, and the templars, the templars begin to attack Nephilim, striking her armor and earth shield, trying to bust through; they then begin to use their bodies to try to slow her
<Seraphna> * T rushes for E, Sia sending a Water Blast in at some Templars.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim cleaves with the energy spear desperately, even resorting to try and use her time magic to give Harbinger less time and take advantage of any openings made before they close.
01<DeathStar> 6* E goes to chop but it begins to hesitate and refuse to act. It breaks apart and Harbinger curses, turning and running with the gauntlers inside
01<DeathStar> 6* The time magic seems to flow off Harbinger, but it works on the templars
01<DeathStar> 6* The water blast knocks many away, while others can't seem to hold onto Nephilim
<Seraphna> * T attempts to intercept him with her sword.
<Seraphna> * Sia sends another Water Blast at them. "Stay away from my friends!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger moves faster than T, much faster, inhumanly fast. He gets inside moments before T arrives
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Damn it. I failed.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templars make noises as Sia hits them again; her magic powers flicker empty, as does Nephilim's energy
<Seraphna> * T moves at the remaining templars, attempting to scatter them as Sia pants.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Sia! Get us out of here. We can't stand anymore!
01<DeathStar> 6* T knocks down the remaining ones. People begin to show up and throw things at them
01<DeathStar> <People> Go away!! Get her! Get the angel!
01<DeathStar> 6* They throw objects against NEphilim's earth shields
<Seraphna> * Sia moves over and starts to help them up, T scoops them up and attempts find a place to flee.
<@Kit> 6Nephilim calls out the closest underground entry
<Seraphna> * T heads that way, Kaelan setting them down after they get some distance from the people and dismissing T, so they can get into the underground with little destruction.
<Seraphna> * Sia helps Nephilim and Kaelan carries Lit to make things go faster.
01<DeathStar> 6* As they run, they'd notice a lot of silver blood on the ground; they hurt Harbinger it seems
<Seraphna> Sia> "...Deserves it... h-he kidnapped D..."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Let's just hope Lenneth and Aschae hold up their end of their big words.
01<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<DeathStar> Location: Not Kalon's Group
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas leads the group through the wall and through the complex, heading to the side of the large building and going behind a guard barrack building
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> This way
<@Kit> 6Aschae carries Gemane after Thomas with little effort
01<DeathStar> 6* The three animas fight in the streets as the group moves along, this scene taking place concurrently with the previous one
<Seraphna> * Seth follows after him, male again since the rooftop to conserve his energy and blood.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls his saber and shield out as he moves.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal blinks at the girl turning into a guy and just keeps moving now.
01<DeathStar> 6* AS they move, five templars step out, cutting off their path, with the special armor.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose eyes the five templars in their way, forming a crystal sword
<@Kit> 6Aschae leaps and turns without dropping Gemane, planting the back of her foot into the chest of one trying to knock him back into another
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and blinks.
<@Kit> <Aschae> If we stop to battle them all, we'll only be overwhelmed.
<Xanatos> <Tal> Strong armor. 6He reminds everyone.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templar barely budges and grabs her ankle, turning and swinging her into the ground; Gemane's hands move out, taking the impact and handspringing them both to Aschae's feet
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Watch out for that armor!
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas draws a sword one handed, and awkwardly
<Seraphna> Seth> "Best to go through it then." *Seth aims with Path of the Arrow and attempts to fire an arrow into a templar through the cracks in it's armor.
01<DeathStar> 6* The three animas continue to fight; Harbinger appears over them
<Xanatos> 6* Tal extends his claws and moves in, slashing out at the closest templar.
<@Kit> <Aschae> Didn't they listen..?" 6She grunts at Gemane.
01<DeathStar> 6* The armor seems to be very well made with no discernable cracks to take advantage of; the only crack being the eye slots
<Seraphna> * Seth aims for those.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane flips to her feet, then leaps over all five and behind them, as the five templars charge the others
01<DeathStar> 6* Seth nails one in the eye and he screams, falling
01<DeathStar> 6* Tal slashes into one's armor, scratching gaping holes into it
<@Kit> 6Aschae runs for them again, her eyes calm.
01<DeathStar> 6* One templar aims a sword and fires a bolt of lightning into Thomas' chest, knocking him back
01<DeathStar> 6* GEmane moves in for one's back and palms it, then strikes it with her fist, trying to weaken it
<Seraphna> * Seth aims and fires at the eyehole of the lightning Templar with Path.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen titls his head and then aims his hand out, firing his own lighting for Thomas' attacker, testing it.
01<DeathStar> 6* That templar catches his arrow with his gauntlet and breaks it
<Seraphna> Seth> "Hey! I liked that arrow!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen's lightning strikes, then springs back at Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks to bring his shield up. Noted! 6He calls out.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templar advances on Seth and Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Tal shifts his hand into a narrow form and shvoes it forward for one of the holes.
<@Kit> 6Aschae uses the motion of her body and creates a channeled water strike at a distance from her physical blows, using her hands to direct it between several templars as she closes, using Flow to find a way to move through them evasively to Gemane.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose slashes at one, and her sword shatters each time, so she grabs his armor and the armor turns to crystal, shattering and leaving the templar in boxers
01<DeathStar> 6* The water knocks some templars and Gemane palms into one, breaking the armor, then stabs with her claws into his kidney, killing him. This leaves only one Armored one and one boxer one
<Xanatos> 6* Valen rotates the sword and moves in, thrusting his sword in forward the eye slits.
01<DeathStar> 6* Tal cuts down his
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen's last armored foe blocks
<Seraphna> * Seth starts to back away and readies another arrow. He fires it at the boxer Templar.
01<DeathStar> 6* Seth steals Rose's kill
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane picks up armor from one templar and begins to throw it at Seth. "Wear this."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts backs up a few times, striking again.
01<DeathStar> 6* The Templar blocks again; his back to the others
<Seraphna> * Seth grabs it and backs away to get it on. "Umm... sure." He shifts his form to accomodate the armor. "Someone should help Valen."
01<DeathStar> 6* Due to the high tier of the gold colored armor, Seth's movement is now very terrible, but he looks badass
<Xanatos> 6Tal moves around and leaps for the templar's back, attempting to pry/peel the helmet off the guard.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> Good. 6* She grabs Seth and begins to direct him toward the church building like a battery ram
01<DeathStar> 6* Tal's claws prey open the helmet, making the templar flail to try to get it bak
<Seraphna> Seth> "I'm glad to be of uuuuuuseeee!"
<@Kit> 6Aschae shifts and leaps, turning to center the full force of her weight, strength and momentum into the end of her staff, striking the Templar's head.
<Xanatos> 6* Tal jumps back and oofs, sniffing the helmet and making a face.
01<DeathStar> 6* ASchae's staff hits the templar and cracks his skull open; he falls over dead
<Xanatos> 6* Valen tilts his head and moves to take the armor, attempting to put it on.
<@Kit> <Aschae> ...I really have no idea how to use this thing to fight with." 6She eyes the staff she always carries.
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen finds himself unable to even move properly in it
<Xanatos> <Tal> Ugh. Stinks. 6He tosses it to Valen and moves to check on Thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* He'll need someone to push him around. Thomas remains on the ground, dead
<Xanatos> 6Tal jerks. T-Tom's dead!
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> The bolt hit his heart again
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane makes a face
<Seraphna> Seth> "Re-bolt him or heal him!"
<@Kit> 6Aschae stares, then prods Valen. 1"Both magicks are yours."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and climbs out of the armor, then moves to eyes Thomas, it's clear it's beyond his healing capabilities to he tries to shcok his heart back into beating
01<DeathStar> 6* The bolt hits Thomas' chest, jerking his body; his clothing catches on fire briefly as Thomas' eyes pop open in pain
<Xanatos> 6Valen jerks to pat out the fire.
<@Kit> <Aschae> Scholars must have bad hearts-- God Generals or not.
<Xanatos> <Tal> ... 6He tries to help Thomas up.
<Seraphna> Seth> "OKay... so lovely lady." *he looks to Gename* "Care to use me as a battering ram some more or shall I get out of this smelly iron underwear?"
<@Kit> <Aschae> Perhaps Thomas should wear it.
01<DeathStar> 6 *Thomas winces in pain
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's too heavy. He couldn't.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> I will
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane keeps pushing Seth
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas points where to go; it looks to be a hedge
<Xanatos> 6Valen moves along. Tal walks along after them.
<Seraphna> Seth> "How about the big wolf guy?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose follows, holding a piece of armor that isw made of gold. "Neph like."
<Xanatos> <Tal> Smells bad.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> It's...Tier 9 armor..
<Seraphna> Seth> "I agree there. Masculine human smell."
<@Kit> 6Aschae blinks at Rose, chuckling. 1"Indeed."
<@Kit> <Aschae> Keep it then. Can use it as a shield until you give it to her.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Until we learn to move in this stuff, Thomas, it's a tier 9 paperweight."
<Xanatos> <Tal> I can wear it. 6He notes with a sigh.
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas points at the hedge. "move that."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow and moves to do just that.
<Seraphna> * Seth 'rides' along with Gemane's help.
01<DeathStar> 6* As the hedge is moved, he'd find it's a fake; it feels strangely plasticy. The stone wall moves open
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane steers Seth inside
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fascinating. 6he mumbles with an arches brow, moving to get inside, as Tal helps Thomas inside.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose walks in and Thomas activates a glow stone, setting it on Seth
<Seraphna> Seth> "This is actually kind of fun, sweaty, but fun."
<@Kit> <Aschae> Don't get used to it.
<Seraphna> Seth> "I don't plan on it. I prefer being able to run away... err... move."
01<DeathStar> 6* The dark tunnel leads them along for a few mins to some stairs. Gemane shoves Seth awkwardly up since he can't bend his legs and then smashes him through a locked door; they find themselves in a hallway
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Those with marks, feel out JEan
<@Kit> <Aschae> I meant having Master touch you.
<@Kit> 6Aschae pauses, then tries to locate the angel
<Xanatos> 6Valen glances at Thomas and nods, closing his eyes to try this out, it'd be a first for him since he keeps himself distant in the mark.
<Seraphna> Seth> "She is protected thanks to this thick armor, I assure you Miss."
<@Kit> <Aschae> Nothing is thicker than your skull.
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen would not be able to detect her; in fact, only those with a level two seem to be able to. And then to astartling surprise, the mark power is weakening. Valen's is already fading and Aschae's is fading slower
<Seraphna> Seth> "It's taken a nice beating since we last met..."
01<DeathStar> 6* But the location - above them
<Xanatos> <Valen> Huh. Something is happening...
<@Kit> <Aschae> We need to go higher, quickly.
<Xanatos> 6Tal glances up and frowns. Damn ceiling.
<@Kit> <Aschae> A beating only tempers the folly of the foolish.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Stairs... that way... 6* He points to the right
<@Kit> 6Aschae peers up, then throws a super fireball into the ceiling
<Seraphna> Seth> "Let's move along.... or do that."
01<DeathStar> 6* The fireball hits the ceiling, damaging it
01<DeathStar> I might do page work tomorrow or tonight
<Xanatos> 6Valen blinks. We don't know if it's worth the energy. LEt's just go the stairs.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> It may be...best...stairs are near front...where templars may be..
<@Kit> 6Aschae focuses and uses her earth magic to seperate the weakened ceiling/floor into a staircase down to them
<Seraphna> * Seth attempts to bash some floorwork into the ceiling with Earth projectile.
<Xanatos> 6Valen nods and frowns, peering up, stepping back slightly. Tal also moves with Thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* It breaks apart due to the earth magic and begins to form, but not all the way due to lack of paterial. Rose climbs and touches the wall, shattering parts of it somehow and forming handgrips up to the hole
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose them lifts herself up
<Seraphna> * Seth starts working the armor off.
<@Kit> 6Aschae nods to the others and follows Rose
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to begin climbing up.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane frowns, and grabs Seth before he can, focusing and rushes up with him using her mystifae power and leaps up with him; they land roughly
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane pants on the second floor, weakened from that
<Seraphna> Seth> "Oi... not even the second date..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose also seems weak from doing what she did; the second floor they find themselves in a hallway, too
<Xanatos> 6Tal glances to Thomas and fireman carry's hima s he climbs up.
01<DeathStar> 6& Thomas nods his thanks
<@Kit> 6Aschae closes her eyes, trying to feel out Jean's aura without using the mark necessarily
01<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the second floor, Aschae feels Jean up still, maybe another 3 floors
<@Kit> <Aschae> ... Tch.
<@Kit> 6Aschae looks around for a way up
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hidden stair way...that way... 6* He poiints left
<@Kit> 6Aschae hurries to the left
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> But it'll be guarded by two elite templars
<Xanatos> 6Valen moves but pauses, glancing to thomas.
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane pants and pulls Seth up, then pushes him along.
01<DeathStar> <Thomas> you killed five outside
<Xanatos> <Valen> Worse than those we just faceD?
<@Kit> <Aschae> I don't care. I'm prepared to destroy gods, templars don't scare me.
<Seraphna> Seth> "...Well that sucks."
<@Kit> <Aschae> We don't have time if Jean's life is fading away.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose whimpers a moment and drags herself along
<Seraphna> Seth> "We don't have time either way, let's just move... Rose, are you alright?"
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> We'll use Seth to beat them
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ah. 6He hurries along after Aschae again. Tal lets Thomas rest against a wall and kneels to stop Rose. Wait. Heal.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose peers at Seth. "Bad man?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "Just a dumb one."
01<DeathStar> <Rose> Need help. 6* She crawls along
01<DeathStar> 6* The help refers to ASchae
<Xanatos> 6Tal turns and kneels. Climb on.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose pauses, then climbs onto his back and straddles him; she's very light
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas pushes hgimself up and moves
<Xanatos> 6Tal rises and nods to Thomas, movign after the others.
01<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<DeathStar> Location: Kalon's ... Himself Group
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste breaks in through the front door, having to thief it open, since he didn't see where Thomas' group went. And he finds himself face to face with two templars in gold armor
01<DeathStar> 6* There's a stairway behind them
01<DeathStar> 6* They lift their swords, firing lightning at him
<kalonZombie> *He ducks quickly "Is it because I took one of your guys' sticks? I'm sorry"
01<DeathStar> 6* The Templars lightning flash over his back, giving his spine a tingling feeling. One charges, swinging his sword down to chop him in half --- straight down the middle
01<DeathStar> 6* The other hangs back
<kalonZombie> *Leruste swings the Templar's staff at the sword, hoping to get it off course
01<DeathStar> 6* The staff is cugt in half, and slows it down only a few seconds
<kalonZombie> *He tries dancing off to the side, reaching for his new laser dagger
01<DeathStar> 6* The templar misses; his buddy, waiting for this, aims and fires lightning
01<DeathStar> 6* Above the two is a nice chandelier full of glow stones to light it up; and two walls have long tapestrys
<kalonZombie> *Leruste tries prince of persiaing away from the lightning, running up the wall and grabbing onto the chandelier
01<DeathStar> 6* They look up as he dangles there; the chandelier begins to make noises, made of weak metals
<kalonZombie> *He starts swinging it, and when he thinks he's got a good angle, cuts the ceiling hanger and drops off
01<DeathStar> 6* Leruste swings over the two onto the stairs; the chandlier thingy begins to fall his arc toward him
<kalonZombie> *Leruste tries getting farther away from it before the chandelier crashes
01<DeathStar> 6* It smashes into the stairs and all the glowstones go boom, shaking and damaging the stairs and blinding the templars. Leruste runs up to the second floor; he can explore this nice floor, or go up the stairs to the next
<kalonZombie> *he chooses to explore
01<DeathStar> 6* Moving down a hallway, he'd see doors on both sides of it, looking all prestine. The hallway has trapestys of famous church popes and other things. Oh, and there's a giant hole in the floor
01<DeathStar> 6* The hallway stretches onward pretty far past the hole, and he can walk around it easily
<kalonZombie> *He walks around it, peeking in doors
01<DeathStar> 6* The doors seem to lead to guest rooms; if he choses to explore them, it'll take a bit longer. None of the others seem to be in the rooms
<kalonZombie> *He ignores them, heading back to go further up
01<DeathStar> 6* He would, though, smell Gemane's sweet perfume smell in the air as he steps out; it leads down the hallway
01<DeathStar> 6* The opposite way of the stairs
01<DeathStar> 6* And meanwhile, in the directin of the stairs, he hears footsteps and men shouting to 'find him'
<kalonZombie> *He follows that that instead
01<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<DeathStar> Location: Not Kalon's Group
01<DeathStar> 6* Nephilim and the others reach a safehouse; the thieves let them in. At that moment, they would feel the angel's mark growing weak
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks up, panicking a bit. "...Jean..."
01<DeathStar> 6* The thieves lead them in; the safe house looks nice, with comfy beds in various room, and the passage tunnel is at the end. A thief moves a statue head to open a trap door
01<DeathStar> <Lit> ... 6* She eyes one of the soft, cushy beds longingly
<Seraphna> Sia> "Should leave Lit here."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Leave? It's not like we're going back out.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan absently has a hand on her butt. "BUt... Jean..."
01<DeathStar> <Thief> Here's a map of the tunnel. 6* He hands it to Nephilim
01<DeathStar> 6* One thief takes Lit's hand, kissing it. "Your hair is like the passion that burns in my heart for you."
<Seraphna> Sia> "We're not use to Mistress dead, we need to trust the others will save her, and find a way to get them out once they do."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Is a long way from where we are. If the link is that weak already do you honestly think we'll get there in time to be of any use? They're going to meet us here when they save her, end of story. We're already beaten and used up.
01<DeathStar> <Voice> Yes, you are.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns. "You're right... I just... I'm supposed to be one of her Knights. I don't like sitting here." *she jerks and looks around*
<@Kit> 6Nephilim glances over drowsily.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger is there, along with Ial. "You have done well bringing me here."
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns.
<Seraphna> Ial> "Anything for an honest pay."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> That little bitch." 6She throws her knife quickly for Ial's heart.
<Seraphna> * Ial moves to dodge.
<Seraphna> * Sia moves behind Kaelan, who grabs at her sword.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> We will triple your fee if you kill one; and if you kill two, we will more than triple. And so on
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger points at Lit, firing a beam at her chest. The gauntlets are on his arms still
<Seraphna> * Sia tackles Lit to the ground, Kaelan advances. Ial pulls out her daggers.
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit makes a surprised noise
01<DeathStar> 6* The thieves grab their weapons, charging; Harbinger fires beams into their foreheads, splattering their brains
<Seraphna> * Ial flinches. "What...."
<@Kit> 6Nephilim twitches slightly, calling her weapon back to her hand and narrowing her eyes at Ial.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Don't move, or this one dies. 6* A templar steps in with Parita. "We found her in your friend's house."
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Die peacefully.
01<DeathStar> 6* Parita bites at the gauntlet hand holding her. "Grrr, arrr!"
<@Kit> <Nephilim> You're as hypocritical as ever. What part of this is peaceful?
<Seraphna> Ial> *blinks a bit in surprise*
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> We will let the girl go if you simply kneel.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> And drop your weapons
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You'll kill her either way."
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> You have my word
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> I simply want you three.
<Seraphna> Sia> "D-Dead?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun stalks the shadows behind the templars, still weak
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Unless you pledge yourself to me, yes.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Fight me, and the girl dies
<Seraphna> Sia> "I-I won't betray my mistress..."
01<DeathStar> <Parita> Beat them up, old lady!
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> Does she really want another innocent life on her hands?
<@Kit> 6Nephilim sheathes her knife and kneels.
<Seraphna> * Ial's hand flinches.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger flicks his hand at Ial to go over to Nephilim and disarm and bind her
01<DeathStar> <Parita> W-What are you doing, old lady?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Neph..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger peers with his eyeless eyes at Sia and Kaelan now
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> 5 seconds.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> 5. 4.
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Not letting you die, Panda.
<Seraphna> * Sia whimpers a bit, going to her knees.
01<DeathStar> <Harbinger> 3. 2.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan frowns and does as well.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger nods and holds a hand at the templar not to harm the girl, waiting on Ial to bind. Ruun walks up behind the templar with a hiltless sword sh found in the ruins after Kaelan went boom in the beginning
01<DeathStar> 6* And activates it in the templars head, making him drop Parita
01<DeathStar> 6* Parita runs once he lets go and rushes outside; Harbinger aims at Ruun and fires a beam into her, dropping her
01<DeathStar> 6* His back to the others
<Seraphna> * Ial twitches and makes her choice, she grabs her daggers and hurls them at Harbinger.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan grabs her sword and runs in with a Slash at Harbinger's back.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger grabs the daggers, and Ial's back explodes open, a hidden device there. She falls over
01<DeathStar> 6* However, grabbing the daggers, Kaelan is about to slash his back, making him howl in pain
<@Kit> 6Nephilim tries to muster enough of her magic left to use her Wind Jump to speed herself at Harbinger, the spear giving her a bit of reach and activates it going for the neck
<Seraphna> * Sia attempts to use her own magic to Earth Spike under Harbinger.
01<DeathStar> 6* The spear strikes his neck; the weapon flickers as the silver blood sizzles on it
<Seraphna> * Kaelan brings her blade about and Slashes again.
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger is then struck with the spike; the gauntlets fall off his arms and he teleports outside the door
01<DeathStar> 6* Harbinger then begins to rush down the street, cursing
<@Kit> 6Nephilim rolls to cradle Ruun, wincing. 1"Ruunie..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over to check on Ruun. Sia scoops up the gaunlets and puts them away.
01<DeathStar> 6* Ruun opens her eyes, her body bloody from where the beam struck her chest. Ruun touches Nephilim's cheek. "Sensei... Get...that bastard...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I hate to be the one to say this Neph, but we can't stay here. We need to move to another safehouse and now."
01<DeathStar> 6* Her hand then slides off and to the side
<@Kit> <Nephilim> ... No. Stay here...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He'll send Templars."
<@Kit> 6Nephilim grinds her teeth, leaning in to kiss Ruun on the lips a moment, then steps up. 1"He's not sending anything. I'm betting it took him a lot to get out of the room. He didn't even get far enough for my ears to not hear his cursing."
<Seraphna> Sia> "So what do we do Ms. Nephilim?"
<@Kit> 6Nephilim picks up the spear and draws the knife out of her thigh. 1"Keep an eye on Lit. I'm going to make sure no one else comes here. It's called a safe house for a reason..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You shouldn't go alone..."
<@Kit> <Nephilim> Well, I'd normally agree. But up until now it wasn't personal.
01<DeathStar> <Lit> ... 6* She moves over to Ruun, applying pressure to the wound; she seems to be doing it just to see if she can save the girl, wanting to be useful somehow. Though to anyone else with any battle knowledge she's doing it for naught
<Seraphna> * Kaelan gently moves to pull the girl away, setting Ruun to rest. "Let her go girl. I'm sorry."
01<DeathStar> 6* Lit opens her mouth, then closes it, peering down
<Seraphna> * Sia frowns. "...Hurry then... I'll get us ready to leave in case they do come."
<@Kit> 6Nephilim stalks off down the tunnels, using her own less boastedand seen hunting skills.
01<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
01<DeathStar> Location: Not Kalon's Group Either
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas points out a seemingly innocent door like all the rest. "It's behind that one
<Seraphna> Seth> "Alright then."
<@Kit> <Aschae> Let's go.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen moves up to the door and moves to open it.
01<DeathStar> 6* As the door opens, the two golden armored templars turn, facing them, looking momentarily surprised. Gem shoves Seth into them, making them collide and knocking the two off balance
<Seraphna> Seth> "U-Umm... rally ho? OOF!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen spring forward and pulls out a bolt, shifting it around and aiming to stab one of them in the eye with it.
01<DeathStar> 6* Valen manages to get the bolt through the eye slots and the templar howls in pain. The other one shoves Seth off, and gets Gemane's palm to his face, knocking his helmet off
<@Kit> 6Aschae lands, crushing her staff down at the helmet-less' head to combo off Gemane
<Xanatos> 6* Valen twists, tryign to shift it up and into the brain.
<Seraphna> * Seth struggles to move a bit, grumbling.
01<DeathStar> 6* The templar struggles, but goes limp as Valen shoves it on inside his skull. Aschae's staff smashes the head open of theo ther one and he drops
<Xanatos> 6* Tal hoots from the background. Go team go.
01<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, they hear something behind them. Rose turns, aiming a crystal dagger at Leruste's throat, still straddling Tal
<@Kit> <Aschae> Going. We don't have time for this." 6She hurries upward.
01<DeathStar> <Gemane> Geto ut of that stupid outfit now
01<DeathStar> 6* Gemane follows Aschae
01<DeathStar> 6* Thomas strains up the stairs
<Xanatos> 6* Tal pauses and glances over his shoulder.
<Seraphna> * Seth gets out of the armor. "Thank you my lady."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands up and eyes the templar sword, checking to see just how heavy it would be.
01<DeathStar> 6* Rose stops short, seeing it's Leruste; Kalon now has a group
01<DeathStar> 6* The sword seems impossible to wield in his current lame state
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Jeez, how many things are going to try and kill me today?
<Xanatos> <Tal> Hey it's Lerry. 6He turns and moves up the stairs. Valen tchs and moves to help Thomas along.
<kalonZombie> *He follows the rest of the group
<Seraphna> * Seth makes his way up. His body shifting back into his normally lanky form.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Were you followed? 6He peers at Leruste.
01<DeathStar> 6* They move up to the third floor; the hidden stairs continue up. They do this until they reach the very top. They hear a scream - JEan's
<@Kit> <Aschae> Jean! I'm here!!
<Seraphna> Seth> "Jean..." *he frowns and grips his bow*
<kalonZombie> *Leruste double times it towards the source of the scream
<Xanatos> 6* Val and Tal both move forward after the others.
01<DeathStar> 6* Opening the door, they find themselves in the top room. Jean is tied to a chair, struggling to free herself, her armor that she wore brifly in 100 trying to form. Standing to the side if Angelus and a blonde woman who looks a little like Jean. And stabbing into Jean's chest with a dagger - is Lenneth
01<DeathStar> 6* Her dark raven hair looks tangled and uncombed and her eyes look empty as she stands there, driving it toward her heart
<@Kit> <Aschae> Lenneth!!
01<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
Session Close: Tue Dec 14 23:55:19 2010

Session Start: Tue Dec 14 18:04:22 2010
Session Ident: #Session111Kalon
01<@DeathStar> 2
01<@DeathStar> 1
01<@DeathStar> 6* The sound of a BOOM in the distance is heard as Leruste reaches the Thief's Guild. The door is shut and the thieves hidden and on guard don't move to stop hiom
<kalonZombie> *Leruste tries to determine where the explosion came from, deciding if he should go against what Ruun said and try to help... but decides against it. If he doesn't do this now, he might not get the courage to do it again at all. He heads in
01<@DeathStar> 6* The guild looks as it did before; the 'cells' are to the far door on the left
<kalonZombie> *He heads straight for them, walking quickly at first but slowing down the closer he gets to them
01<@DeathStar> 6* As he reaches the cell, he'd see two guards unconscious and the woman he's here to see picking the lock
<Seraphna> * Ial works the lock, determined to get free.
<kalonZombie> *He snatches the lockpicks away from her and backs up "Knew they wouldn't be able to keep you here for long."
<Seraphna> * Ial frowns up at you. "You..."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Look. I... there are about a million things I wanted to say. But first and foremost... is... goodbye.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> And you know me... I never say bye unless I really truly mean to never see someone ever again...
<Seraphna> Ial> "...At least you say it now, you could at least give me back my lockpick."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I'll give it back when I'm done, just... wait, okay?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I want to say me leaving Sinai had nothing to do with you, but honestly? It has everything to do with you. I would have been willing to leave them and forget all about it if you had just... left them out of it and just been angry at me for a couple months while we smoothed things over. But that didn't happen...
<Seraphna> Ial> "You're following the ANGEL, Leruste, I knew you were mad but this... I'm going to profit damnit."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I... those whole two years, they were just... they were so empty and meaningless, and I thought if I had found you, we could have worked it out, and you and me? We could have OWNED this town Ial. We could have had it so deep in our pockets you'd need a spelunking team to get it.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> But that didn't happen... *He slips the ring off his finger and holds it up* Remember when you gave me this?
<Seraphna> Ial> "Yes, you used to be worthy of it."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I kept it the whole time Ial. I looked at it every night, thinking that if we were together, things would have been so much better. The guild would have had real competition, and... yeah... but that's a time that's gone now I guess. The Ial I used to know is gone... *He looks at it for a while, then tosses it at her* Take it. Sell it or something, you're all about profit now right?...
<kalonZombie> ...Well there you go, free money. I won't need it where I'm going anymore. *He tosses the lockpicks just out of hand's reach and turns away, stopping at the doorway, and saying without turning around* And there's something else Ial. Something that I still don't have the courage to say to your face after all these years... I love... loved... you. *He stands there in silence before closing the...
<kalonZombie> ...door behind him*
<Seraphna> * Ial frowns and works at getting the lockpicks to get herself free.
<kalonZombie> *After he does, he simply leans back against the doors, slides down, places his face in his hands, and weeps silently*
<kalonZombie> *After a few minutes he gets back up and heads out, trying to find out where the rest of the group is so that he can do whatever he can to help, if only so it's he gets far away from this place*
01<@DeathStar> -END for now-

01<@DeathStar> 6* As Leruste travels in the direction he last saw the others, A figure collapses onto the ground in front of him, then falls into a kneeling position
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Y-you okay?
01<@DeathStar> <Ruun> ...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Ruun shifts Parita into his arms. "Get her somewhere...safe..."
<kalonZombie> *Leruste takes Parita, not having time to even tell Ruun he isn't a Guild lackey anymore, and heads to the safest place he can think of without saying a word. Parita would probably notice the lack of ring on his finger
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Ungh... Leruste....where'd you go...?
<kalonZombie> *He keeps running "Had to take care of some stuff... I'm done now. I won't leave you again Parita, I promise"
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> They took the angel...some bad men..and hurt everyone...
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Ruun didn't sound...good.
<kalonZombie> *He keeps running "Ruun's tough, she'll make it *He says, not quite beliving it himself, but using his lying with grace skill to try and ease her fears
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita relaxes. They arrive at his large size home for a poor person; it's probably fancier inside than out
<kalonZombie> *He opens a hidden compartment in the floor and takes her downstairs
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita looks around, grabbing some pretty things along the way like a true thief
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey, hey... keep yourself to 10 items or less.
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> I can't count. Is this ten? 6* She holds 20 items
<kalonZombie> *He smiles and takes 10 of them away "THAT'S ten"
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> ... 6* She pouts, her little elf ears drooping a bit
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey, be lucky I'm letting you take ten and not zero.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita sniffs and puts them in her shirt
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> The others said they were going to a church
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Which church?
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> The main one!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Right... *He starts heading back upstairs, then remembering his promise, he turns around* Look... I'll be right back okay? I gotta go help the others. Just stay here and try not to get too greedy when I'm gone.
01<@DeathStar> <Parita> Okay! 6* She smiles, a hand hiding behind her back
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hands where I can see them, squirt.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Parita sulks and holds out both hands, empty
<kalonZombie> *Leruste still thinks she has something, but if she does, he rewards her by letting her keep it "I'll be back kid" *He heads off for the church as fast as he can
01<@DeathStar> -END-
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Stay away from the liquor cabinet or I swear I will make sure you never steal anything again!
