Taking back 259

[Zack Asiv]

Barkers twenty six guards standing top level watched the loud diesal engine roar towards them, the screeching of the tires as a spin was attempted, but a fire truck isn't capable of such a manuever due to its top weight nature, causing the truck to flip on its side and skid until it hit the wall to the entrance to the underground, the skidding and friction bringing it to a stop.

The manuever was rash but worked well enough, cutting a path through the stunned soldiers, crushing and killing nine of them, but that only pissed off the hardened killers. Orion's group was stable, but disoriented from the crash and completely unprepaired for the counter strike that commenced.

[Zack Asiv]

Inside, the man Reynaldo was met by a bit younger looking man who also had white hair. Glasses, and a black uniform. Shuffling a pack of cards.

"Very well. We will move."

Inside, an unknown amount of soldiers and expiraments prepared to storm out.

-15/26 Lightly Armored Barker Soldiers w/ Batons - Engaging Orion's Forces, Good Morale, Shocked.

[Deleted]

Jaus proceeds forward, Nyx holds ground at her current position with 5 npcs standing at her guard, Jaus proceeds forward with the rest of his unit to assist Orion in the fight. Adrian takes the left Flank while Jaus leads the charge hopping over the wreckage of the Fire truck, sword drawn and poised to tear apart the nearest 3 soldiers of barker's regime. Sword is unsheathed; +5 Dexterity and knockback effect to all targets focused infront of him. His eye of the Infernal Dragon detects all the unit's current statistics and relays them to Gabriel's command post. Nyx takes arrow shots at three other forces to the left of Jaus' position.

[Orion]

Orion heard the groans of what remained of his men and pointedly ignored them. They weren't the moans of the dead. Orion nbuckled his seat belt and did a quick count. 4 of 8 man-team lost, not good. Orion reached under his seat and pulled out the axe underneath, left there in case a fireman needed to rush into a building and get through doors quickly.

Perfect.

Orion popped open the door, thankful that the truck had landed with his side up. He popped open the door, his head popping up as clambered out of the truck and he saw a likely target near the truck. No one would mess with what men he had left. Orion sprinted across the side of the truck, leaping midway towards the too-close enforcer.

A loud warcry escaped his lips as he brought the axe he had grabbed swinging down to, hopefully, cut deep into the man's skull and most likely render him out of action.

[Roth O'Roak]

Roth and his troops are still on their way ready tokick some ass and get some white head scalps! *will arrive next round likepreviously stated*

[Zack Asiv]

Luckily enough there was an axe in the fire truck! And thanks to Jaus attacking with his sword and Giving enough cover, Orion can get out easily. The tide slowly turning outside.

Reynaldo inside walks over to Patches a slight smile on his face.

"Patches. You should go play with the people outside."

[The New Student Dean]

Moderator Note: Accommodating... Starting third round. The previous posts may no longer be edited.

3rd Round

Recap: Several more of the Enforcers Guards would fall as Jaus' forces engaged in combat with them. With the axe found and Jaus' reinforcing cover attacks, Orion and his forces would escape from the bus with minimal follow-up casualties. Adrian successfully tends to the direct left flank of Jaus, while the remainder of Jaus' forces catch up. Nyx takes three shots from afar (off the battle map), lands a shot.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

His controller went to his side...

"Patches. You should go play with the people outside."

Without even a word, the large figure known as Patches would pivot his body with slow steps, dragging his huge Two-Handed Wide Bladed Scimitar after him... The experiments who were following his lead parted before him like the red sea as he would drag himself to the main door...

...A long streak of cracks in the concrete floor trailing after the man.

* * * * * * ~Patches Released~ * * * * * *

On the battlefield, the gigantic metal doors to the Underground Facility would press apart slowly at first, before smoke was released, the difference in pressure blasting out like steam.

Anyone who charged in right now would be met with instant death, as a the black hallway that greeted them was filled with fourteen sets of red, glowing eyes. Slowly dragging himself into the sunlight, the gigantic, patch-work experiment dragged his sword behind him slowly, his followers too fearful to follow directly after their leader.

---Suddenly, the man would dash forward, bringing his huge blade behind him, as if it were a butterknife, horizontally bringing towards the bus---and slicing it off, and if Jaus stayed on it for too long, he would go flying along with the upper-part of the split bus---and onto his men, crushing several of them.

That was just the first swing, The second swing, the man twirled around with one had, bringing it down veritcally onto the bus, blasting it apart and into the charging crowd.

---He would take a third step-dash with his huge sword and bring it by his waist for a horizontal swing to... to...

Image by Squee

---Suddenly, shots of fire, ice and electricity blasted the man's flanks, as the more projectile-based experiments shot their elements into the crowd, while about six of them suddenly appeared behind the crowd via teleportation, bringing their hands to tear the unlucky ones apart.

Patches would stand still for a while, surveying the scene, ignoring Orion's forces for the time...

As of the 161+ NPCs that were recognized, more than 100 of them have been recognized as non-credible. The NPCs that are sourced towards being non-credible belong to inactive PC's: Jayr, David, Mekiel, Donnie, and Kevin. Re-active PCs that show IC-wise pledging will be recounted towards the group's NPC numbers. As such, only 57 of those NPCs are actually recognized as the NPC members of Paladins.

Given the nature of the NPC gang rules, the NPCs in this thread will be allowed to be used for the remainder of this battle. We apologize for any inconvenience, but given the 3-fold excess of NPCs, will exercise a harder difficulty until amended.

[Deleted]

ooc: Once again I apologize entirely for the delay. Will try to keep up this time round.

& As per last note Mikey if you could clarrify with me in person as to the what that means in lamens terms I'm slightly dumb-dumb atm xD Muchos Gracias senior

LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE MWUWHAHHAHAH!

Jaus would be caught only slightly off guard as the resounding terror from the image of the beast would lurch forwards, Jaus' ankles buckling with the sudden urge of flight thrusting himself backwards and to the left but a moment to evade the assailing blow and the energy resounding from his back.

Instantly his hand would come up to the scouter to identify the power he possessed as well as any items that empowered the behemoth to ascertain his weakest points. In his right hand the blade beside him would be dran to his hip a small grin etching into his face.

It'd been a long time since he'd needed to pull out all the stops and seeing his men dashed before him it seemed there was no sense restraining himself.

*clink*

Of would come the weights on his arms falling to the ground and shattering with a sudden AoE resounding thunder doing no significant harm however startling the very earth beneath him.

"Restrain yourself or I'll do it for you."

At this point now with the extention of his blade he could reach out and slash the behemoth but if he retreated the blade would extend once more to its full length stretching outwards to gash him. The movement of Jaus' arm would come from the bottom right and upwards at an angle across his torso only to retreive the motion with his other hand.

Stats/effects:

Strength: 206
Dexterity: 227
Constitution: 249
Intelligence: 43 +1
Wisdom: 49 +1
Charisma: 43

Otherwise Forces continue to fights (Nyx will enter next post)

[Nyx Frost]

Nyx stands afar being pro with her Qi generated Bow and arrow surveying the scene at a distance. Though the big guy looks tough she doubts that Jaus needs very much helps but makes it a point to do so anyways. With a drawn arm she lays two arrows in the drawstring pulling them back and aiming for the immobile champ's knees and fires hoping that he will be immobilized for a time if they strike his kneecaps.

Stats and stuff:

Strength: 10 +5% per successful hit (Applies only to arrows, chain broken if misses)
Dexterity: 10 +5
Constitution: 10
Intelligence: 20
Wisdom: 20
Charisma: 20

QP: 24 (-1 for last post) -2 for this post = 21

[Roth O'Roak]

Hold...

Hold......

Hold...........

"GO GET'EM BOYS!!!"

With Roth's signature booming voice he would command his troops to charge full speed at the remaining experiment forces (8 Barker soldiers and the 13 new arrivals)

Roth himself would remain at the rear for now looking for the toughest opponent out there to fight.

Marcus, not the fighting type, would search for a nice source of higher ground amongst the destruction for a tactical view to aid Roth's advancement.

[Orion]

So, good news, Orion and his boys got rescued. Only for people wielding the power of the elements and teleportation to appear. And one monstrous dude with a giant blade. Orion decided that they were the bigger threat, rallying his people around him with a wave as their was a lull around them, deemed not much of a threat due to their only being four of them, Orion included. Time to change that.

"Alright boys... You see those people shooting fire and ice and all that fun stuff? They ain't paying attention to us, so we'll rush them. Taze the big guy if you can, but i don't know how effective it'll be. For the most part, I want that new group out of action. Now move!"

With that, the three men charged at the big man, tasing him once they got within the maximum range of 15 ft. and then discarding the tasers as they ran at the group behind him, attempting to dodge the QI techniques and tackle them to the ground, then attempting to smash their skulls in.

Orion, meanwhile, rushed past the big man, knowing that his axe would probably be severly outclassed by that man's blade. Instead, he figured that getting him away from the fight would be a good idea. Orion charged towards one of the white-haired men shooting fire, dodging and weaving as he went. One he got near, his grip would shift to hold the axe almost directly below the blade. Orion would run past, then stop and turn. He would run at the man from behind and attempt to put his blade to the man's throat.

If successful, dialogue ensues:

"You. Fire at the big dude so he will leave the fight. Now."

[Date Masamune™]

"Those QI's aren't natural..."

The blue haired boy stood a distance away and watched the fight as it ensued. Shugo tightened the vambraces on his wrists as electricity pulsed around them. The boy would then jump down from the mountain of rubble that he stood on. Shugo would dash out into the battle field.

To him there were two types of QI. QI that were naturally created, and QI that were created through Experimentation. Years ago the boy had a QI that had been created through experimentation, but since then he had managed to find his own true inner QI. He had heard of other experiments that had been using QI, and these experiments were working for Barker. If someone was fighting against Barker, that was good enough for him.

Shugo would place himself behind one of the Experiments that had teleported behind Jaus and Orion's groups. Shugo would attempt to place his hand around the front of the Experiment's neck quickly, applying pressure to it. All the while his vambraces would be drawing electricity to his hands and arms.

[The New Student Dean]

OOC: I'm going to lay off the maps for the time being, due to this turning into one huge cluster-fuck since there was no drastic movement. All details on the units are mentioned in the Recap. A map will be posted up next round, if necessary.

4th Round

Recap:

• Jaus dodged the initial horizontal strike that sliced the bus horizontally, jumping from the top of the bus, backwards and to the left, avoiding being sent flying. It is not RPed that he dodged the second attack (Patches sliced the remainder of the bus vertically, sending the two halves flying diagonally---Therein, an auto-hit has occured. The remainder of Jaus' post is invalidated and was successfully stunned by being hit by a fourth (approximately 5500 lbs) of a bus.
  
• Nothing was done to amend the dismayed, frightened status of Jaus' troops. Bonus casualties incurred: 29/45 - 5 = 24/45 Troops.
  
• The Experiments suffer minor casualties from Jaus' force due to a successful surprise with no remedy: 13/13 - 1 = 12/13
  
• Nyx fires two shots at Patches at great distance. *Rolling*
  
• Kevala's troops maintain formation. *Turn-Round Skipped*
  
• Roth's charge finally makes contact. Bonus charge damage for extra delay: Initial casualties:
  
  • Bear Squad: 25/25 - 1 = 24/25
    
  • Sol Guard: 25/25 - 1 = 24/25
  
  
• Roth's Marcus spots high ground... around the side and past the entrance of Underground Facility #4. Alternatively, semi-high ground is spotted back in Nyx's position.
  
• Unexpectedly flanked in their own ambush, Patches' Experiment Soldiers suffer additional damage: 12/13 - 5 = 7/13
  
• Shugo's force arrives from the north. It will take them one turn to arrive and to attempt to do what they intend. They will be considered "charging."
  
• Barker forces continue to battle. Casualties incurred: 8/26 - 4 = 4/26

*Twice-Rolled: Nyx's arrows are noticed from afar... from his standing position, Patches side steps to the right ever so slightly, the sword dragging after him, one of the arrows going between his legs, the other barely missing his left shin (natural gravity arc) by a good three inches.

Due to the distraction that forced Patches to evade the strike, the three men of Orion successfully manage to get within 15 feet and fire off their tazers---the man is stunned momentarily as three tazers strike his chest, but he successfully rebuffs it, puffing out his chest.

Orion's force manages to successfully run past Patches... and Patches receives three minor burn marks on his chest (one above each pec and one on his top-left ab mound).---

---Orion successfully manages to hold up and threaten the Experiment. Seeing as how the Experiment would be more inclined towards. The flames flickering from his fingers and the blade close to his neck, the Experiment looks around to see if any of his allies had taken notice of him---but he finds that they are either too busy flanking or being flanked.

Without much choice of recourse, he raises his hands to Patches' back and releases a fireball---

---The fire sears the man's back, burning his impenetrable skin... creating a huge vulnerability...

...When his muscles suddenly enlarge (Patches Strength: 80 to 800). It appears as though his speed would be negatively affected---when suddenly, Patches swings his sword, backwards, he clips the Experiment that fired at him and suddenly, Orion finds that he's holding the upperhalf of a corpse. Due to the distance, the most he receives is a deep gash horizontally across his belly.

(Moderator Note: If it wasn't for the fact that your character is involved another thread and it would be changing the timeline... Orion's legs would have been otherwise clipped off. Letting this one go this time.)

With his strength massively enhanced, the man jump-dashes, seemingly in a silent frenzy forward, past the stunned/prone body of Jaus and brings his sword around horizontally as he swings at the oncoming charge.

Roth's choice to stay in the back of his forces may have very well saved him, as squads of men are suddenly slashed in half, their corpses blown away by the immense strength of the Experiment.

After having swung forward, Patches holds his huge scimitar above the ground, surveying around him to react to any next attack...

Meanwhile, the surviving attacking Experiments began teleporting back to Patches right flank, the projectile-users running there and firing off their elements at the incoming charge...

But his back still burned... It was as if he was expecting a back attack... his sword held horizontally to his lower right, both hands on the long hilt... The left hand loosened, as if ready to grab at his immediate left.

He had looked back in that moment that he received the back attack... Perhaps he was getting ready to charge and cleave the man that actually managed to hurt him?

Blood fertilized the ground readily...

[Sean Barker]

"HE'S WHAT?!"

Those words from within the facility would ring out as Reynaldo and his companion traded glances, beads of sweat beginning to form slowly. Reynaldo hit the emergency siren that could be heard outside expiraments and Barker soldiers alike would rush away from the fighting to line the doorway in formation, even Patches would move to the door. Lowering his upper body, a visible tremble seemed to ripple through the forces, as Reynaldo wearing a pair of goggles, a sweater and jeans, his compatriot wore a pair of glasses, a white button up a black zip jacket and black slacks. Both exited the facility and took their own respective sides to the door as nearly a hundred armored and equipped barker soldiers marched out. At their end was none other than Sean Barker.

The shoulder length brown hair parted in the middle. The tribal tattooes all over his upper body, the black vest, the gloves, the camo pants, and his boots. A ring on his left middle finger, an ear ring in his right ear, and a belt lined with what appear to be small silver bullet looking objects.

"I think its time I had some fun."

Barker would move to the head of the formation, walking calmly.

"Who's the leader of this little rebellion?"
