The Grand Hall

[Gunslinger]

Daniel is shoved!

It completely ruins his usual diligence, and unfortunately, he doesn't have a chance to shoot immediately.

[Cillian McWolfe]

"One could say th-" His voice trailed off as the scene below erupted.

"My apologies, but you may wish to find safety or hide."

He would leap off of the Balcony to the fray, a nearly invisible smoke surrounding him as copies of himself would appear. Illusions that would enter into the shield with the scarred man to try and distract and confuse him with their presence.

"Grievances need be aired with a formal challenge. Not with an ambush around civilians."

[Preston Salabim]

Preston would remain seated as the chaos exploded around them, adjusting his glasses as he calmly took in the scene. He would attempt to read the mana flow to decipher who was doing what, and if there was something, or someone unseen in this chaos. Furthermore, he would attempt to identify the spells being used.

[Cecelia Riddel]

Celia gasps softly at the intrusion that results in a burst of qi, covering her mouth with her hand and looking around to see who all is there to ensure their safety and the quickest way out!

[Valerian Blackburn]

Val shields the woman he's sitting with first, before noticing who's running towards the aggressors.

"Angelonia, no!"

He quickly goes to try and catch up with her in order to protect her from possible retaliation!

[Zack Asiv]

The man known as Project Judgement was about to approach the leader of Zekunft when he became very distracted by the smoke people entering his shield, that should be impossible. The Zekunft leader's blue eyes begin to glow softly as he starts using his Qi to defend himself.

Preston is able to read the flow, There is a large barrier and a smaller barrier both with different purposes. The one around Strike is being produced by the Coffin, inside the barrier time is essentially frozen, but it is siphoning energy from Strike to make the larger barrier. The man with scars has summoned the coffin, but not even Prestons ability to read Aether can tell him what purpose beyond this the coffin serves. He can tell that there are hundreds of thousands of small Qi threads now woven beneath Sorrel Kaizer's skin that should prevent most if not any fatal blows for a little while.

Another two coffins lurch through the floor boards of the dance floor facing the crowed trying to destroy the barrier. The seals break and the lids begin to fall!

[Dime Price]

Dime could see the Coffin and wondered if her Qi could interact with whoever might be inside of it...

She would concentrate on the coffin and try to make that mental connection

Qi 1/12
Telepathic communications: while looking at one person she can send a mental note heard by that person only. She connects their Qi to communicate. The connection can be one way but should the other party allow it they can complete the connection to trade messages back and forth.

[Allison Kazim]

Ali was liking the appearance of more coffins even less than the rest of this. She looked for an available weapon, ceremonial or anything, as she made her way towards the main floor. Curse not having a weapon with this dress!

"You need to get out of here while you can," she advised as she went, grabbing a spear from one of the Cabal soldiers!

[Cillian McWolfe]

Cillian would widen his stance into a battle position, bringing his arms up as his copies did the same inside of the barrier.

"You Sir, can stand down now and end this because this injustice will not stand."

Just buying some time.

Qi use 2/20

0 level: Smoke and Mirrors - The Amazing Ardan creates an almost invisible fog in a twenty-foot radius around him that allows him to create and manipulate images of anything within that radius. Such images are visual only and have no physical presence but can be used to make duplicates of things within the radius, make things vanish, or even to make images appear to move on their own. These illusions register as genuine to Qi sensory techniques and machines.

[Drake]

Coffin's? What the hell is going on... Drake would activate his eyes to see if he could see anything that would help explain, or possibly even end, this situation!

SPOILER: Click to show

Soul Sight: While activated Drake can see a persons soul and can determine their life force and Morality (+10 Per, +10 Eng) Mutated: The first post of activating the Seikatsugan Drake's Seikatsugan boosts double to +20 Per, +20 Eng Enhanced: These Ancient Seikatsugans originally capable of creating sigils of formulas in the air where they could see that each magic circle had different meanings and abilities. This was further increased with being able to see at great distances being able to zoom in on things at x20 zoom making things seem 20x closer than they actually are.

[Gunslinger]

Daniel shoots one of the coffins!

-------
Terrence and Philip - +12 Energy
These special issue handguns take energy from Daniel and fire energy element projectiles that do his energy + 1/2 his energy in damage, or 150% of his energy stat in total.

Damage - 37 x 1.5 = 55 damage!

[Preston Salabim]

Preston would calmly stand up having an idea of the nature of the mana and spells being used. And would pick up his chair and go to place it between Strike and the beam to block it.

[Valerian Blackburn]

Val goes to pull Angelonia behind him, so as to shield her from whatever these coffins are doing!

[Cecelia Riddel]

Cecelia is terrified and can't move at first!  There's too much going on and the coffins are scary!

But the shock is enough to get her moving, ushering the other ladies away as the dance floor breaks apart.

[Novocaine]

Yeah, Nova's doing neither of those things.

She'd glance over at Daniel shooting at the coffins before unraveling her threads and sending it whipping for another coffin to try and break it!
