Faunus and Firearms

Faunus and Firearms #1

[Panel 1: We open with a shadowy room. People are sitting at a table, their faces obscured by the dark. An overhead lamp is the only source of illumination. The table is cluttered with papers and all sorts of maps. A few figurines of random Rwby Characters can be seen amongst the mess.]
[Suddenly, one of the shadowy people speaks up.]
The DM:
Well, it appears we are ready to begin. Did everyone buy equipment ?
Merc's Player:
Did you really have to make me buy my own legs ? It's one of my race's key defining features.
Cinder's Player:
At least he didn't make you buy your clothes.
Emerald's Player:
Earl, you spent an hour buying multiple designer outfits, I'm surprised you had enough to buy a bow and arrow.
Cinder's Player:
What's wrong with a bow ?
Merc's Player
We are in a setting in which the average 15 year old can purchase and own machinegun machetes ducktaped to chainsaws. You really think that's gonna cut it ?
Cinder's Player:
Hey now, the bow also turns into a pair of swords.
[Panel 2: We zoom in on a figure of Ruby Rose, her weapon taking center focus]
Emerald's Player:
Everything turns into something in this setting. "High Powered Sniper Scythe" ? This is getting ridiculous, do you have weapon fetish or something ? Not that I'm complaining or anything...
The Dm:
Quiet you ! Ready or not, we're starting now !
[Panel 3: A view of Remnant from space, allowing you to see all the kingdoms and continents]
The DM:
In the far off realm of Remnant, a great Evil brews. Monsters known as Grimm ravage the countryside, massacring villages and even whole towns. Even worse, a Mysterious Cabal secretly rules all 4 kingdoms under its hidden tyrannical fist.
[Panel 4: Zoom in on Remnant, just barely passed the atmosphere]
The DM:
But all hope is not lost, A resistance group, called the White Fang, is the last remaining hope for peace and democracy. Can they liberate the people from oppression ? Or will they fall into the darkness of Grimm ?
[Panel 5: Cinder, Emerald and Merc are standing in the middle of the road. You can see Amber approaching them from the distance]
The DM:
You are standing in the middle of a country road. You've been traveling for sometime now. A young maiden is currently riding towards you. She seems distraught about something.
Cinder:
I prepare to ambush.
The DM:
I'm sorry, what ?
Cinder:
It's obvious we're a trio of bandits, who else sits in the middle of the road in fuckall nowhere watching young girls passing by ?
[Panel 6: A shot of all 3 "Bandits" in various states of contemplation]
Merc:
He does have a point....
Emerald:
Ooh, an evil campaign, I've never played one of those.
Cinder:
I call dibs on the horse !
The DM:
*Sigh* Very well, roll for initiative.
[Panel 7: Amber getting off her horse and approaching Illusion!Emerald]
Cinder:
Unnatural 15.
Merc:
18 !
Emerald:
Unnatural 21 !
The DM:
Looks like you're up first "Emerald".
Emerald:
I cast an illusion. Then I rush down our " Good Samaritan "
[Panel 8: Amber Backdashing Away]
Emerald:
16.
The DM:
No luck, she notices your movements in the sand.
Emerald:
That's bullshit, but I believe it.
[Panel 9: Emerald firing her twin pistols]
Emerald:
Did I at least hit her ?
The DM:
Did you beat her AC of 19 ?
Emerald:
I'm starting to think we made a grave mistake...
[Panel 10: A large textbox reading: SEVERAL FUTILE COMBAT ROUNDS LATER...]
[Panel 11: Emerald and Mercury looking up Amber]
Merc:
This is ridiculous, it's the first encounter and half the party is nearly dead. A bit early for a total party kill, ain't it ?
The DM:
To be fair, I didn't count on you attacking a harmless girl.
Emerald:
"Harmless" my ass. We've barely made a dent in her.
[Panel 12: a large textbox reading: SEVERAL MORE COMBAT ROUNDS LATER]
[Panels 13&14: Emerald about to be coup de grace'd by Amber only for her to take an arrow to the back]
[Panel 15: Cinder preparing the Bug Glove]
Cinder:
So you know how in this setting you said that the magic-
The DM:
Semblance
Cinder:
-Semblance is powered by the user's life ener-
The DM:
Aura
Cinder:
-Aura ?
The DM:
Yes Earl, if you cast life drain you'll absorb her power.
[Panel 16: Cinder draining Amber]
Cinder:
Yes....YES ! UNLIMITED POWE-
The DM:
Suddenly, a drunken warrior servers the connection.
[Panel 17: Qrow grabbing Amber and booking it]
Qrow:
I'll be taking that Maiden of Power now, thank you.
Cinder:
Wait, no ! That's mine ! GIVE IT BACK ! JESS, DAVID, STOP HIM !
Emerald:
I don't know about you, but "Mercury" and "Emerald" are looting the horse.
Cinder:
You guys are the worst.
