Stomping Dirt

[Zack Asiv]

In the crisp morning air, rumbling thunder can be heard, motorcycles humming their noise in the distance as they ride headlong and fast right for Elias's Kingdom of Dirt!

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias is swiftly ordering his people to head towards the center of the territory, for the most part around a few of the larger buildings that had collapsed into ruins.

There, they could use the ruins as makeshift walls, though crumbling and weak they were. Instead, it was more for funneling the attackers into the territory itself, and keep them from spreading out too far.

Elias himself stands near the front of the broken building, where a wall had given way and made a massive gap wide enough for plenty to head into the broken down apartment. There could be ten motorcycles heading through at a time in the gap. Several of his bandits would be in the apartments themselves, ready at Elias' signal to drop broken down furniture from the ruins above.

[Zack Asiv]

The majority of the motorcycle would stop on the outskirts of what could be considered land owned by the town, while two bikes rode in directly for Elias. They would stop about twenty yards away from Elias if permitted that far and get off to approach the would-be king.

"Well, seems you've got some balls of steel kid. I only came in here cause I wanted to see if you would surrender? Talk this out so no one has to die?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias stands with his hands on his hips, smirking at the two.

"Surrender what? You want my garbage?"

[Zack Asiv]

"Surrender your right to this place. Surrender your right to the Bandits. Join us, provide us with your hard work and labor. That about sums it up."

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Uh huh."

Elias looks between the two.

"I'm guessing neither of you are the boss."

[Zack Asiv]

They put hands on their hips and smile big.

"Nope."

[Thorn Wyatt]

"And neither of you is more important than the other, right?"

Elias tilts his head.

"I'm asking because I'm debating which of you should go back alive, and which I should kill for fun."

At least he's up front about it.

[Zack Asiv]

The two turn to each other.

"I dunno, I guess I have been around longer?"

"But I usually do these things, you've only been doing them with me a few weeks now."

"That's true, but what about our combat records, you've been in more battles, but I've killed more and looted more."

"Because I tell you to."

This goes on for quite some time if allowed.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"So neither."

Elias nods, answering himself as they talk.

He goes to blast the one on his right!

-----------------------------------

Attack: 10/40 (11)
Speed: 40/40 (41)
Defense: 40/40 (54)
Perception: 17/40 (18)
Energy: 40/40 (82)
UP: 9
Stacks: 23/81

Blood Bolt! - if Elias bleeds he is capable of pulling the static energy from it firing a bolt of red lightning with shrapnel of bladed blood, doing 125% Elias' energy in damage, doing 1/2 his energy of damage in forced bleeding for four posts

Damage = 82 + 41 for four posts.

Qi usage: 1/20

[Zack Asiv]

He hits the guy with the bolt of energy that basically rips right through him, throwing him multiple yards away and on he ground as his corpse is forced to spasm from the following shocks. The guy on the left looking on in shock before looking to Elias.

"What...."

Not even a question, just bewildered and frozen in place.

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Neither of you are important, right?"

Elias tilts his head, smiling at the remaining guy.

His hand slowly drifts over to aim at him.

-------------------

Stacks: 23/81

Level 0 - Life Force Absorption: Elias stores the life force of those around him when they die. He can hold up to X amount of charges, with X being 1.25x his current level of energy, and these charges can be built up over multiple threads. He gains two charges per death.

Elias can use these charges as a temporary buff for one thread only, spending the charges to increase his attributes as a sort of temporary experience points to his base stats. Once spent, these points only last for the current thread, and the charges must be built up with death once more.

Stacks: 25

Qi usage: 2/20

[Zack Asiv]

The guy falls back as his upper body lurches to dodge, while his legs remained frozen. Stumbling onto his ass he rolls over and books it to his bike, tearing ass right out of town. One of the knights walks up behind Elias.

"I think that sent the message you were trying to get across."

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias just watches him leave, lowering his hand.

"I think so, too. Though, I expect they're going to come swarming back any minute now, like cockroaches."

[Zack Asiv]

Elias was right of course, they would come in mass, every motorcycle on the hill charging right into town with a mix of roaring engines and yelling people before being funneled as planned into the hallway made of garbage buildings heading for Elias.
