Among the Fields of Perch (Speed Event)

[David B.]

Silence hung of the field of Perch, those far green hillsides surrounding the gate toward Ayatlan, the crown Jewel of the Western sky. The Avidus forces, the great army of 5000 men who belonged to Ayatland, were assembled around the only way in or out of the city, at it's head, four men in robes of varying colors. Green, Red, Blue and White. The Clerics four. In front of them was Preston Salabim, leader of the High Defense force and first fifth cleric in almost twenty years. In the distance, the sounds of hoof-beats could be heard as a lone scout rushed toward them, sounding the alarm by waving a flaming torch.

"THEY COME! THEY COME, CLERICS!"

Through the low mist that hung on the battlefield appeared shadows. Marching forward from the dark. Mixed among the eight and a half thousand men were various Mechanical terrors, and though the army that marched on Cabal was similar, the men here were far more battle hardened. They were outfitted in terrible armor, curved and crooked to match their desires. At their front was a fifty year old man, outfitted for war.



"AYATLAN! Our demands have been refused. We give you one chance to accept our terms unconditionally, or we will pull your great city down into the pitfall of history!"

An earsplitting roar came up from the army behind him. Clearly....they were ready for war. The forces of Cabal were in hiding, waiting to launch their flank into the rear of the army that was marching on them.

Post where your character is in Prestons army. If you want, you can wait with the Cabalan army and have your character be with them in the shadows of the trees to the left and rear of the main enemy force.

[Allison Kazim]

Allison is towards the back of the front line! 260 is her home, and she's not about to let these uncivilized swine destroy everything she's known.

They would not fall.

[Preston Salabim]

Preston stood at the front with the other Cleric's looking at the amassing army. Dread filled the pit of his stomach, but he would hold it together. It was his duty.

"Hold firm! Let them come to us, we hold the portal!"

The wind pulled at his cloak, golden veins of energy moving up his legs, the power activated by the wind as he waited for the sign that the other Cleric's were ready.

Allowing his voice to be amplified by magic he would respond.

"This is your last chance to turn around in peace before you turn the ocean red with your blood."

Elias stands near the back of the front line of Cabal soldiers, where he assumes the fighting will be the thickest.

After all, the fiercer the fighting, the more death will happen.

And that's good.

[Rozalin Kendal]

Rozalin was with those towards the front line, as well! This little detour was definitely an eye catcher. She had to wonder just what they thought they'd do if they did manage to pull the city to the ground.

[David B.]

Allison is surrounded by her countrymen, who are proud to have her!

The leader laughed.

"FOR BLOOD AND BATTLE, THEN! C'MON BOYS, LETS BURN THAT SHINING CITY DOWN!"

Roars of grateful glory sounded as the army surged forward, the man who had been speaking standing there to let his men surge past and around him, heading straight for the front line and thus, for the Clerics and their men. Volleys of energy roared out of the support forces at their rear, whistling as they made their way down to crash into the army of 260, intent to hurt and maim and kill Prestons precious forces. Roz would have a perfect view of it all from just behind the clerics, the tidal wave of war coming forward at breakneck speed.

Hidden among the trees, Cabals men wait for the signal to rush the rear of the enemy force and smash their support staff, halting a key point. They would do just what Elias hoped once told to- deal death to the gods of hell.

Oni was with a small force of 300 archers, all ready to fire should they be given the order.

[John]

John was hiding with the Cabalan forces and with the order to attack John would charge. He was wearing his I still have all ten of my fingers shirt under his cabal field uniform. He had his hammer and was ready to smash.

[Preston Salabim]

Preston held up an arm as the enemies rushed forward toward their men before slashing downward.

"Fire Volley!"

Which would thin their forces and signal for the rear attack to start. Hoping to disrupt their charge as men faltered on which way to defend first allowing them to move in and take advantage.

Preston himself would be advancing toward the enemy as the Qi storm erupted around him, everyone within 20 feet of him being struck with raw magical energy.

"Activate Turtle Strategy." He'd command his familiar, a glow of energy surrounding and protecting all of his forces as he channeled water mana into himself to give himself a shield.

"At rek Arel"!

"...perfect."

Elias smiles broadly, beginning to sprint towards the rear of the enemy forces with the rest of Cabal's forces, now that they've been signaled to attack!

He heads right for the first support he sees, aiming to leap straight at him and choke him out. Not to unconsciousness, but straight up death.

[Rozalin Kendal]

Rozalin keeps a bit of distance between her and Preston, familiar with the qi storm he has about him by now and joining the push forward with the others!

She'll cut down any foes that try to stand in her way.

She raised her bow and shot with accuracy. With the spray of others that arrow was lost in a swarm. Hitting their marks she'd see a number of them fall and a number of others trip over their own falling vulnerable to a second wave of which Oni had already set and pulled back on unison signals with the others in her position.

Defense buffed tto 43

[Allison Kazim]

Ali would join her countrymen in taking down their enemy! She's currently interested in pressing any enemies that come at her into that qi storm headed their way.

[David B.]

Preston ordered the attack as energy volleys smashed into his forces, killing about forty three total men in the first exchange. The 300 archers, with Oni, were ordered to fire flaming arrows, and thus would do so, raining death down on the attackers and signalling the forces of the rear to attack!

The Cabalans would rush out, John and Elias among them, to run screaming wildly at the rear of the enemy forces. The enemies turned, grinning at the sudden flanking assault, and draw swords to meet them head on. As the Cabalans attacked, crashing into the forces, blood and steel were exchanged, 34 cabalans going down along with 22 enemies. The arrows Oni fired hit the enemy, killed 97 of them and lightning some aflame, screams and moans coming up as the forces met. Preston killed 3 from his Qi storm, blasting them away, and his men engaged harshly.

Elias would fine the first man's eyes wide as his hands wrapped around the mans throat, taking his choking ass to the ground as his face started turning red. Being at the front, however, he'd get football punted in the side (15 damage), sending his body flying off the man to smash into a couple other enemies. The Cabalans rushed around him, helping engage the enemy.

John would find three men with swords rushing him, while two support staff turned to fire arrows at his face!

Roz would find two men rushing her through the front, one with a mace swinging down for her head while the second fired a blast of electric energy for her fucking money maker!

Bye bye, modeling career.

The mechs fired a second volley, the forty or so massive machines killing dozens of men each, reducing them harshly. (161 Ayatlans killed)

The Ayatlans responded with a return fire of energy, their volleys hitting the enemy but not doing quite as much. (59 enemies killed)

Allison would find energy bolts coming her way from the enemy support, so she'd have to dodge hard to avoid it! (Roll a D20, PM me on Discord with result)

[Preston Salabim]

Preston continued to wade into their force with his storm as he motioned forward again.

"Clerics! Take out their Mechs! Archers! Fire upon their supports to aid the flank! Frontline! Advance together!"

He'd toss a water shield onto Roz to help her, knowing that the water would make her stronger too.
