  1. [18:01] {NARRATION} For weeks now, the storm from the mountain had been steadily descending. Merchant caravans vanished, panicked survivors rushing into town, madness in their eyes, speaking of horrors and acidic rain, of nature turning against them, of the very ground denying human presence.
  2.  
  3. It was a tide that finally reached the city of Dawn, black clouds lazily rolling over, thunder crashing within their depths. The rain came, black tar-like gunk, clogging drains, hissing when it impacted wood and stone. Like lemon on a cut, it burned to the touch, leaving terrible rashes on unprotected skin, perhaps hinting to the terrible nature of its being.
  4.  
  5. A howl unlike any pack creature echoed through the city, snarling, bestial. Creatures just out of view began to pour down, their forms shrouded by murky vapors that choked the lungs, dragging it with them like the reaping of the damned. Little scourges, servile things, loped ahead on two legs or six, some with wings, others slithering on an innumerable number of limbs or somehow floating above it all.
  6.  
  7. And in it all, two figures directing the horde. One massive, bulging, its body distorted in terrible ways. Faces constantly press against fabric-thin skin, clawed limbs erupting, trying desperately to escape the prison of flesh that had been born for it, an unending and terrible mass more than any singular creature. Forward it went, bleeding the living of their life in terrible swipes of otherworldly claws.
  8.  
  9. And a soldier, far too massive, in ancient and ruined armor. The scholars among Dawn might recognize it as the armor of Bhaldraithe, twisted and warped to fit its terrible figure. It was not even as daunting as some of the larger scourges, and yet they bore a wide path around it, chittering violently when it grew too close. Other similar creatures followed behind it, not so much wearing the armor they'd stolen as having forced themselves inside it, shattering rivets and chain.
  10.  
  11. The stench was horrible, a foul wind dragging it in. A screech suddenly erupted upon that wind, a face making itself visible, humanoid, lacking a nose, lacking lips, only a gaping, toothless mouth and red pulsating eyes. For the briefest of moments, its form became physical, a wraith of the wind, before blowing through ahead of the pack, through a home, screeching again.
  12.  
  13. Make that three figures.
  14. [18:02] Sophia Song stands proud, green eyes burning with reika, the flames of Azrael's heritage rising all around her as she reached behind her to grip the leather wrapped nyeshk hilt of her massive sword. Upon the very bottom of the pommel lays the maker's mark, a volcano surrounded by five tiki skulls. On the center of the cross-guard is a hummingbird. As she pulls the weapon over her body in her right hand, runes of Huitzilopochtli can be seen all along the blade, glowing green with her power as she brought it down in front of her, and drew the golden ornate hilt of a saber off her hip. This weapon had Song engraved on the cross-guard, and a butterfly on the blade. The same emblem that stood out on the shoulder of her purple hue, adamantite chestplate. This mythril blade too had runes of Sheng origin that glowed green.
  15.  
  16. Her pristine white cloak flowing behind her in the wind, wet in the dark rain, she squared up on the shoulder of her companion to face the enemy. The flames of reika around her started to collect on her shoulder blades, stretching out behind her as they shaped into thick wings. She crouched and then kicked up into the air as those wings beat down, blowing the cloaks and capes of those around her as she rose over the battlefield. She shouted, "Glory to Azrael!"
  17. (Sophia Song)
  18. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  19.  
  20. [18:02] Wargeel says, "Another one..."
  21. [18:02] Nash Volta says, "that's...not i think."
  22. [18:02] Vedran Ivanovich whispers something.
  23. [18:03] Josephine Dusk whispers something.
  24. [18:03] {NARRATION} Everyone line up nearly. Drop summons for the moment if you're not an EC.
  25. [18:03] jump on his feet and say :" Well, i think that's will be Something interresting"
  26. (Nash Volta)
  27. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  28.  
  29. [18:04] A small frown had suddenly turned into a deep one, and his eyebrows immediately rise as he remained outside of the gathering throng. His attention drifts toward the massive figures that had come to make their presence known, only to lightly snap his fingers as it dawns upon him.
  30.  
  31. Oh, right. These things were why he thought the rain had been familiar. His armor does well to protect him from the sources of blackened ichor, though his aura would hopefully ward off stray projectiles as he maintains his distance from the main group.
  32.  
  33. "I have a stunning realization that this is going to get ugly, and quickly." he murmurs, keeping WAY behind the massive row of Meatsh- brave heroes that would take these massive threats head out.
  34. (Hatsu Wvelven)
  35. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  36.  
  37. [18:04] The Naguals body exploded with golden lightning as it began to coat her form...
  38.  
  39. The spirit within her amulet raging against the presence of these creatures.... He wanted to unleash the storm just as much as she did...
  40.  
  41. Her blade floats into her hand as she prepares herself..
  42. (Jessi Ann)
  43. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  44.  
  45. [18:05] Alastor moves back out of his house, accompanied by a few soldiers. They all bear the same recognizable mark of the Vishkar poison, one used in assaults before. It seems that they are constantly leaking, and somewhat different this time around however.
  46.  
  47. If it meant putting the gas through his own people, it did not matter. If it worked against the Nethradin, even if it was just a little; It would be alright, in the end.
  48.  
  49. After all, the corrodent was nothing but magical. Perhaps this was the perfect time to check if it worked on incorporeal things.
  50.  
  51. Glorious be the mind of Azrael.
  52. (Alastor G. Vishkar)
  53. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  54.  
  55. [18:05] {NARRATION} Those in the back, pull forward. Bei, get in the line.
  56. [18:05] Nash Volta says, "actually that a lot of mimic"
  57. [18:06] Wargeel's eyes loom over the being before him.
  58.  
  59. Flashbacks flooded with screams of agony and shouts of angry warriors invaded his mind. The chilling sensation reminded him of an all too familiar presence.
  60.  
  61. Hel.
  62.  
  63. The ookami's eyes pierce the back of Neo's head. would they work together once more? Or would he fend for himself this time.
  64.  
  65. Shnk!
  66.  
  67. His claws extend from his fingertips, growing in length as well as in hardness. He was prepared for battle once more. But something was biting away at him this time, an annoying sensation really.
  68.  
  69. Something was different.
  70. (Wargeel)
  71. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  72.  
  73. [18:06] Ser Artaghh would puff solemnly at his corn cob pipe as he watched the fell host of ghouls approach, the cold winds chilling beyond his thick skin to something just a bit colder on the inside. Gripping the handle of his Nyeshk axe tightly in anticipation for whatever unforeseen horrors awaited, the one eyed Ser would gauge that that was a pretty big ghost. Probably the biggest ghost Artaghh had ever seen. Top ten at least.
  74.  
  75. Steeling his will as he took a deep, calming breathe, Ser Artaghh would gaze down upon the great armored revenant, clearly the warrior of the bunch. It was his calling as a knight to face such a challenger down regardless of the odds, and the bald axeman was prepared for a tussle.
  76. (Artaghh)
  77. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  78.  
  79. [18:07] The mass of shadow and evil made Zendrick startle for a second. A legion of beasts, knights, and a massive cloaked figure.
  80.  
  81. Zendrick's body erupted in a blaze of blood and energy. It was time to defend his home, defend his friends, and the honor of those who were lost.
  82.  
  83. His armor clanked mechanically, shifting into a battle-ready form. A staff was produced in one hand, while a tendril of blood erupted from the other.
  84.  
  85. Time to go to work.
  86. (Zendrick Boreale )
  87. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  88.  
  89. [18:07] The youth would grab his weapon of his back, and prepare his stance, one of speed and ferocity, one that relied on evasion. He would take a deep breath as he would witness the horrors in front of him.
  90.  
  91. He spoke not a word, but on his face there was a look of excitement rather than fear, a look of completely sadism. The child had gone through it in recent times and these monstrosities offered an escape from it. It offered him the chance to fully give in and go all out with reckless abandon.
  92.  
  93. A grin inhabited his face, he was simply put gonna lose himself in this battle. Maybe literally, but definitely mentally.
  94.  
  95. His draconic features were now more prominent than ever as his narrow eyes glistened with ferocity.
  96.  
  97. (Agem Geodipt)
  98. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  99.  
  100. [18:07] {NARRATION} If you're not in line, you're not participating. Get in the line so I can count you.
  101. [18:07] Renegin braced himself, gritting his teeth and bearing his sword. He buried his fear, feeling the immense power from everyone around him. Gathered together to fight off this infection. He didn't pretend to know what the hell was going on, but he was ready to help nonetheless.
  102. (Renegin Billard)
  103. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  104.  
  105. [18:07] The Invidia veers his flaming eyes towards the sources of the black rain before.. By the looks of it, his assumption was correct..
  106.  
  107. Nethradins.
  108.  
  109. His eyes shifted towards his allies of Dawn, who also planned to fight against the horrid creatures..
  110.  
  111. "My flames will devour them all.. Allow me to show you the power of an Invidia. "
  112.  
  113. Dancing embers would suddenly reveal themselves around the Kitsune's body just as he pointed the Wyrm towards his foes.
  114. (Vel Invidia)
  115. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  116.  
  117. [18:07] Rosaline could tell that this was going to go to shit, but didn't coward away from it. Instead, she embraced the fact that death will be at her door; it was a good life, anyway. Her Staff was raised high as the occult shroud wrapped around her and busted outwards.
  118.  
  119. Taking a deep breath and letting down a tiny bit of sweat from her forehead, she looked at the BIG NIGGA and prepared herself mentally for the best and for worst. For the love of god, don't let this happen.
  120. (Rosaline Cromwell)
  121. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  122.  
  123. [18:07] There were a thousand and one reason why Alison shouldn't help the people of Dawn after all the hell they put her through, and for no reason at that, however she couldn't just watch the whole city be destroyed by the fiendish creatures that had just spawned.
  124.  
  125. "Once again I get caught in the midst of some bullshit."
  126.  
  127. A heavy sigh would escape the accursed's mouth before she rolled up her sleeve, revealing her mutated accursed arm that she began to draw strength from.
  128.  
  129. There was no time to play around.
  130. (Alison)
  131. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  132.  
  133. [18:07] The Ookami had been in and out of the city as of late. However, as the threat grew, she stuck around.
  134.  
  135. As the figures approached, she was unfamiliar with the scene, but judging from the mass of magi gathered... it wasn't friendly. She'd draw her dagger and huff, floating above the ground ominously.
  136.  
  137. She'd never won a fight before, but she could try to help.
  138. (Madelyn Lyngrave)
  139. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  140.  
  141. [18:07] Ethan felt the undeniable pain coming from the rain up above. It wasn't unlike being shocked with lightning or seared by flames, yet it remained liquid. It was terrifying and before anything even appeared, the boy was hurt. A quick gaze was offered to the woman who promised to keep him safe. His expression was as clear as day: Fear. The creatures that appeared before his eyes one after the other only made it more terrifying. How was he supposed to hold his thoughts straight when faced with something like that?
  142.  
  143. "M-Miss Shizuko... What... are those?" He muttered, trembling in fear already.
  144. (Ethan Hawke)
  145. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  146.  
  147. [18:07] Shizuko eyes the terrible beasts in front of her with fear. She sticks close to Ethan to protect him. She activates an aura of water, opting not to use a holy water aura due to the effects on occultists nearby. She wields her staff, slightly shaking in nervousness. She steels herself for the coming battle.
  148. (Shizuko Megumi)
  149. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  150.  
  151. [18:07] "This disgusting rock never ceases to amaze me."
  152.  
  153. His head tilts as the chaos begins, slowly his hand slips into that cloak. From it he reveals the blood stained mask, placing it upon his features for there was real battle that was about to begin. Mask on. It was time for action.
  154.  
  155. Like always Neo took to the skies, floating as high as possible. He observed the many below as he waits. Calculated strikes, Neo needs to be precise, no slip ups. Lives were on the line, his children were present there was no room for error.
  156.  
  157. "Invidia or Death!"
  158. (Neo Invidia)
  159. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  160.  
  161. [18:07] Oh such wonderful and delightful battle to be had. Demons from beyond the rift scratched and crawled their way to the precious city of Dawn. A foolish choice, it'd be where they were destroyed at. Emerald eyes begin to flare as excitement reaches its peak, heart thudding in anticipation of the coming battle.
  162.  
  163. Though she had little truly destructive capabilities, unfortunately, she would nestle behind Artaghh and Chromezone, keeping their wounds closed and their bodies able, shielded from the true brunt of any damage they might receive.
  164.  
  165. Eyes scan the battlefiled, glancing first to the two imposing figures -- then the smaller one. Archons often shifted to a more managable form when they grew to be too strong. Could this too, perhaps, then...?
  166. (Vanika Fyne)
  167. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  168.  
  169. [18:07] Shizuko Megumi whispers something.
  170. [18:07] Aldrah stared at the two strange figures, colossal creatures. "What the hell is that?" He spoke as he pulled his staff out of his back.
  171. (Aldrah)
  172. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  173.  
  174. [18:08] The storm of the mountain was spreading. Gold and grey watched from rift to rift as it grew closer and closer to Dawn. Untamed Nethradin horde of the mountain was a great deal of interest, something fully of potential bodies to add to his own power. His nethradin began to draw their weapons, commanded by chain, and undead starting to do the same. As the black rain fell, green swallowed the world eyes opening on the ground or mouths opening on trees.
  175.  
  176. "Ain't seen 'em of this size 'fore. Bigger even then tha' net." He spoke only for himself and took out his staff. The green eye atop the Whispering eye stared at the terrible large creatures as the hordes and hordes came to Dawn. The armor of Bhaldrathie is almost ignored as his rifts start to open, chains of his own strengthening.
  177.  
  178. "Take as many bodies as ya can. Leave some alive so I can expirement on 'em." Lord Ultovex smirked, ready to lead his mini coalition of Undead and Nethradin against the larger one. It was vastly entertaining.
  179. (Sors Ultovex)
  180. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  181.  
  182. [18:08] "Oh-"
  183.  
  184. That was all the surgeon could let out as she saw the massive and familiar horde approaching. Visions of Baukengard flooded her mind, the severing of her leg, the destruction of her home and the slaying of those she had grown to call Kin.
  185.  
  186. She gave a look towards Vedran as she gripped her staff. "Malentine's machinations strike again." She says as the ghoul revealed itself to Dawn. Blackened eyes fill with a strange black ichor that oozes down her face as her very own shadow starts to become distorted and free itself from her body to idly sit behind her, spinning the shadow of a staff.
  187.  
  188. hat black ichor appeared to be blood that she so easily controlled with her own magics as it coats her head to toe in its essence as tendrils of blood lash forward, waiting to strike out at the horde.
  189.  
  190. "Alright, let's clean up Lord Malentine's mess once and for all."
  191. (Jennifer Ivanovich)
  192. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  193.  
  194. [18:08] Cassidy floated around eagerly. So this was what was causing that black rain? It was like Baukdengrad all over again. But this time, she wouldn't be standing idle, she'd fight and she'd win.
  195.  
  196. Fire burned bright blue and white around the Sarradian. With her family at her side, she listened for Neo's call to arms and rose her voice. The void pulled around her, but she had learned to conquer it.
  197.  
  198. "Invidia or Death!"
  199. (Cassidy Invidia)
  200. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  201.  
  202. [18:08] The city of Dawn had become the site of a gruesome siege by the Nethradin. This only caused excitement in the eyes of the Oscuri woman. She drew her blade, and a surge of rieka came shining through her eyes. The next step that came was the low rasp her blade made when exiting its scabbard.
  203.  
  204. No longer were she to wait for the beasts to come, she'd find herself charging forward at them. The idea of meeting one's demise in the rush of such a glorious battle was more appealing to her than anything.
  205.  
  206. The visions of the second divine war flashed before her eyes as she was losing herself into the thrill and heat of the moment. Wings of emeraldine glory ripped their way from her back and she sent herself hurtling upward into the sky. Wordless she was, currently inconsiderate of anyone else's fate, she was focused on enjoying the rush of the battle to come.
  207.  
  208. How big of a body count would there be, and which of the heads rolling would belong to her responsibility? Those were all that were on her mind.
  209. (Morgan Townshend)
  210. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  211.  
  212. [18:09] Leo lifts his sword as shadowy figures pulled through to the middle of Dawn's square. Blue hues began to glows as the swordsman summoned his aura to fight along with the other Magi gathered.
  213.  
  214. The Lachlyn covered his nose with his free hand as the stench began to hit him with the wind blowing in. The man grit his teeth.. This thing can't be good.
  215. (Leo Lachlyn)
  216. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  217.  
  218. [18:09] Xaedhyn thinks he sees a great darkness that can help him forge the x-blade then laughs maniacally!
  219. (Xaedhyn)
  220. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  221.  
  222. [18:10] Alvi's mouth opens slightly at the appearance of these horrific spectres. This was the first time they had ever laid eyes on what others had called a Nethradin. Beholding the creatures, it was easy to put stock in the hushed whispers and spiteful murmurs that they had been hearing for what seemed to be years on now.
  223.  
  224. Gentle fingers of shadowflame lick along the undead's hands as they unsling their scythe from their back. With this many people lined up to confront Dawn's would-be conquerer, it would be ridiculous not to join ranks alongside them.
  225.  
  226. How bad could it possibly be, right?
  227. (Alvi Slade)
  228. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  229.  
  230. [18:10] She was actually terrified to all hell. As the culmination of that storm reached it's Zenith, Cordelia was in for a treat. Or was it really a treat? A foul stench filled her nostrils, causing her to briefly gag and cover her mouth. She had no where to run, and she didn't know what else to do; was she doomed to die here, against whatever it was that was about to attack them all. She felt pained, she felt... So confused. So lost. She shouldn't have been here, she shouldn't have followed Nautia and Hatsu out here.
  231. (Cordelia)
  232. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  233.  
  234. [18:10] Sighing heavily, a hand reaches out to grip her rifle tightly in-hand. Muttering under her breath, the scope is pointed towards the creatures before a glance is Given to Vedran. "I don't suppose you know a way to kill it? Like a, you know...Weakness?"
  235.  
  236. As if that'd help them.
  237.  
  238. Narrowing those sharp, burning hues, Josephine finds herself becoming slightly sick-- It was the first in a long time. It makes a wicked little smile cross rosy lips; All three figures looked like they might make for a fun fight.
  239.  
  240. "Well, maybe enough bullets will work..." That said, curved ark of shuddering rifts tore just above the small woman. Rifles and cannons alike peeking thought the multiple portals. Reality twisted and morphed around her form, giving her cause to pause. Would this help, or hinder...?
  241.  
  242. Who cared! It was something to shoot!
  243. (Josephine Dusk)
  244. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  245.  
  246. [18:10] It was offical, Vinny had arrived at the worst possible moment. Ornamental sword drawn, swiftly with a clang, a gust of wind swirling around their form, around their being. Reika shimmering and glistening and a faint beat of their heart.
  247.  
  248. A tightening in their chest, an excitement in their veins as the corners of their lips upturn ever so slight. Thrown away, forced away made to leave their home only to be brought straight into the fires of battle. A mountaineer, a noble of Loranthis, exiled away to Agartha would be heading straight into battle.
  249.  
  250. Despite the discomfort, the uncertainty, the confusion at what indeed was happening. Vinny was an Oscuri through and through and their being, their blood and their soul was trembling.
  251.  
  252. With excitement to bring honor and glory to Azreals name.
  253.  
  254. "From the cold north, right into the frying pan."
  255.  
  256. Vinny was ready to draw forth all they had for this battle, for this chance at glory and for Azreals name.
  257. (Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth)
  258. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  259.  
  260. [18:11] "I was reading on the bench the notes you gave me when the rain started to pour. I may need a new copy of my notes.."
  261.  
  262. Back and forth, the young woman paced with jars to collect the substances falling from the heavens above. Distant echoes akin to human screams reverberated. Cries, sorrow, regret from the northern regions of the continent.
  263.  
  264. Armors seethed from the acidic rains, dissolving, and growing more damaged by the second. Nature sprouts from the earths to cover Aspen and Hatsu from it, layering around each other, coiling into thicker layers that made the rains difficult to pass through entirely. A drop here or there, but nothing severe as it would be to stand out in the wide open.
  265.  
  266. Aspen spectated the horde incoming. The two or three most notable figures sent spine-chilling sensations among her, and probably others.
  267.  
  268. "Holy shit.." Only one explanation.. from where they'd emerged from, the acidic rains..
  269.  
  270. "Nethradin.."
  271. (Aspen Yano)
  272. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  273.  
  274. [18:11] Taking a swig from his canteen, the storm would split open to reveal a trio of huge horrifying individuals.
  275.  
  276. Surrounding them appeared to be some kind of sludge army he wasn't expecting any of it in the slightest. He'd take his large blade from his back and narrow his gaze, sizing the creatures up a tad he'd understand that this fight would be something of glory.
  277.  
  278. Imbuing himself in his highly trained Energy aura, he'd want to see just how much he could aid in the preservation of his home against these beings stopping at nothing, he'd unleash his full might and dash forth with the expertise all his experience had garnered.
  279.  
  280. Shifting his stance about in the fight, time would warp itself around his blows as he'd precisely strike with serious stopping power into any weak points he could find in this tainted onslaught.
  281.  
  282. "Well shit, now's a good time to die as any..if I live, I'm goingto need a long assed bath to wash this tar out my hair."
  283.  
  284.  
  285. (Chroma Zanders)
  286. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  287.  
  288. [18:12] "... Three?" She stuck a piece of chocolate in her mouth. There were three to note anyway. She didn't quite count the little followers of theirs exceedingly important. She nearly didn't count the mesh of kightly spirits... As it was something of an odd case.
  289.  
  290. She'd take a look around and noticed how things were beginning to get rather rowdy. Or soon it'd become so. "Guess I should prepare for a fight..." Almost stating it as if it were a question.
  291.  
  292. Maina sighed low.
  293.  
  294. She was gonna find this much more of a bother over any possible enjoyment of this fighting. Too many people. Much too many. They'd get in the way. Though, she supposed it was needed... one wouldn't want to be the soul focus of three powerful foes. She grinned... despite the mood of atmosphere. And despite possible outcomes.
  295.  
  296. "Invidia or death!"
  297. (Maina Invidia)
  298. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  299.  
  300. [18:12] Rosaline Cromwell says, "I'll cancel you pussy ass"
  301. [18:12] Hatsu Wvelven says, "Language."
  302. [18:12] Rosaline Cromwell says, "Oh, sorry."
  303. [18:12] As soon as the boy notice the danger that brought a thick white crystalline marble covered his visible skin. Eyes moving around the city trying to analyze the situation before locking his eyes on the horrendous creature.
  304.  
  305. Grabbing his weapon he place his axe in his shoulder.
  306. He knew this was his moment to achieve the glory and the name he was searching for, a perfect scenerio for his plans.
  307. (Theomars)
  308. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  309.  
  310. [18:12] The siren cowered in fear as the three omnimous figures arrived in Dawn. Their massive size and dark prescence indicated that they were threats to the settlement and its residents.
  311.  
  312. But they were prepared, already a massive defence of magi and non-magi stood in unison, ready to fend off the incoming dangers. Anna clutched her staff tightly and moved herself behind Dawn's forces, keeping herself away from injury.
  313.  
  314. She planned to help but decided that it'd be best to stay behind everyone else. Toss an occasional water or ice spells at the lesser minions and protect those who were injured.
  315. (Anna)
  316. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  317.  
  318. [18:12] Amuro stands outside of the academy with the others, eyes wide. It was his first time actually hearing about or seeing the threat from the North, and it was every bit as intimidating as he figured it might be.
  319.  
  320. Trembling hands settle in his pockets as the other prepare, unsure of whether or not he is even capable of being of use.
  321.  
  322. "I should have stayed at home.."
  323. (Amuro)
  324. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  325.  
  326. [18:13] Creatures of horrific magic, a sight that brought fear to the puppeteer. Never has he seen such horrific creatures before in such numbers. His scepter is pulled out neigh instant as the abominations land to the ground, his bloody barrier thickens with his ichor trying to mask the horrible stench throughout the city.
  327.  
  328. His left hand points to his dear puppet Chowo, it twitches and turns, controlled by her master as always without resistance, Alex's scepter crackles with his electricity, mist swirls around the weapon.
  329.  
  330. Chowo stands beside Alex, both of them in a readied stance as the large Nethadrins stand over them all.
  331.  
  332. "Those are scarier than all the demons I've fought combined! I never expected this!"
  333.  
  334. He was scared but with comrades and friends by his side.. he'll be safe, right?
  335. (Alex Monolyn)
  336. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  337.  
  338. [18:13] The Invidia stared up at the sky, thick and black rain poured down like some sort of waterfall. Unstable portals and rifts from Baukdengrad only got larger and larger as each year passed. The storm that had steadily surrounded the mountains also seemed to change. Closer to Dawn it came.
  339.  
  340. And it had finally arrived at its destination. Priscilla extended a hand to cover her eyes from any sort of droplets that might have found their way over. Many did in fact, and they attacked both flesh and metal, burning them away like a highly corrosive liquid would have.
  341.  
  342. "This doesn't look good," Priscilla stated, flipping off some of the strange tar that attached itself to a hand. "Reminds me of something."
  343.  
  344. A smile that was half-way between something of joy and anger formulated on her lips as the 'rain' poured down even faster than before. Something was coming, and it was hostile, from what Priscilla knew from her first-hand experience on the mountains from the north.
  345.  
  346. Two distinct creatures that led the mass of demons, or whatever those corrupt beings might have been. In an explosion of toxic miasma, she drew her sword, preparing to defend Dawn like terms had said. Just as she'd observe the others that might have joined the fight, another creature found its way over.
  347.  
  348. Three of them, and a growing smile.
  349.  
  350. Malentine's work. Only an Invidia could have done this.
  351. (Priscilla Invidia)
  352. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  353.  
  354. [18:13] Allende raises a hand to shield his eyes beneath his hood, the fell winds of the host buffeting his cloak. He whistled, though the sound was drowned beneath the blood-curdling howls and arrival of the dark host. "Well, well...! Wind, rain, and more!"
  355.  
  356. He glanced Artaghh's way, throwing a hand at his shoulder, "This is nice, a family outing... Let's compare counts, when this is over."
  357.  
  358. The blade at his hip found it's way into his hand, Allende's form growing faint at the edges, seemingly devolving into more a vaporous cloud than a man.
  359.  
  360. "Let's show our guests a good time...!"
  361. (Allende)
  362. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  363.  
  364. [18:13] It was here. Again-- Malentine's damned abomination that erupted out of the same rift that Vedran did, it couldn't have died very easily.. tightly clutching his blade; last time the vampire fled..
  365.  
  366. Leaving Huangzhou to fight it alone, wasn't an option this time.
  367.  
  368. "Not a clue, Josephine!"
  369.  
  370. "Just stab and shoot it.. a lot."
  371. (Vedran Ivanovich)
  372. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  373.  
  374. [18:13] The umbrella had been coated in Un-wol's holy energy, giving his entire surroundings a small barrier of light that mitigated a majority of the nethradin-fluid from even encroaching the umbrella he used to shield himself from the rain of illness manifested, but his trick was a band-aid on their predicament at most. When his unbroken focus at the sky yielded results - seeing how the brewing darkness swept closer and closer, until finally the horde of dark spirits was upon them - Un-wol narrowed his eyes.
  375.  
  376. A sense of urgency took his limbs, and it reflected in his furrowed brows as he engaged his circuits in preparation for what was to come. He glanced aside to see many of his family members beside him, and that was enough for him. He was a man of few words and much action, and so the golden lightning that swam up his figure in repeated patterns grew a bit more intense, encapsulating him protectively.
  377.  
  378. From the distorted mass of countless limbs packed within the same flesh to its smaller - yet titanic - subordinate spirits, it mattered little. Un-wol had sensed the gash in the lifestream, and he could recognize this dark sensation. He saw opportunity in it. The end as Malentine called it. Was this it? Or was this merely the invitation?
  379.  
  380. Nonetheless, Un-wol drew his mageblade and held it tight, free hand folded behind his back, shoulders and feet aligned sideways.
  381.  
  382. "Careful, family," he mutters - his inflection in the semblance of prayer almost - with closed eyes. Then gravity shifted around him, and his lightning invoked.
  383.  
  384. He was prepared, as ever.
  385. (Un-wol B. Invidia)
  386. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  387.  
  388. [18:13] Nash Volta asks, "somebody can sense the real power of these guys ?"
  389. [18:13] Jessi Ann says, "Not enough."
  390. [18:14] {NARRATION} There are forty six of you, so you'll be split off into groups of fifteen to fight each Nethradin EC, with one lucky EC getting a sixteenth. Everyone from Maina, Aldra, and Vedran and the left are one group.
  391.  
  392. Jessi Ann and Theomars to Agem, Alex, and Cordelia are the second group.
  393.  
  394. Everyone to the right of Cordelia, Agem, and Alex are the third group.
  395.  
  396. Please split off into your named groups.
  397. [18:17] Nash Volta says, "the tension start to up"
  398. [18:17] {NARRATION} Group one gets Ectaazi. Group two gets Ssath'ilai. Group three gets Kalikor. Your EC will approach you, follow them.
  399. [18:17] Vanika Fyne says, "You're a big guy."
  400. [18:17] Nash Volta says, "holy"
  401. [18:17] Zendrick Boreale says, "Heh, for you, maybe."
  402. [18:18] Rosaline Cromwell says, "That's a big boy."
  403. [18:18] Rosaline Cromwell says, "And Zendrick, you're offically gay."
  404. [18:18] Artaghh says, "You came'ta the wron' neighborhood boooooy..."
  405. [18:18] Rosaline Cromwell says, "Anything none gay you think isn't gay, is more gay."
  406. [18:18] Zendrick Boreale says, "Bullshit, I'm the most hetero hemo mage in this town."
  407. [18:19] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth says, "Those who attempt to deny it the most are the most guilty."
  408. [18:19] Nash Volta says, "wait a second"
  409. [18:19] Rosaline Cromwell asks, "Where the fuck?"
  410. [18:19] Zendrick Boreale says, "What the fuck"
  411. [18:19] Leo Lachlyn says, "..."
  412. [18:19] Nash Volta asks, "where are we ?"
  413. [18:19] Chroma Zanders asks, "Eh....?"
  414. [18:19] Allende asks, "Well, it was never going to be easy, was it?"
  415. [18:19] Nash Volta asks, "that's a spire or i dream ?"
  416. [18:19] Rosaline Cromwell says, "This ain't Argartha anymore."
  417. [18:19] Zendrick Boreale says, "If that's a spire shard, I call dibs"
  418. [18:19] Zendrick Boreale says, "I need it. "
  419. [18:19] Allende says, "You, and everyone else."
  420. [18:20] Vanika Fyne says, "You're a traitor that's going to be executed soon."
  421. [18:20] Anna exclaims, "No?!"
  422. [18:20] Nash Volta says, "wait before salvage it"
  423. [18:20] Anna exclaims, "I do!"
  424. [18:20] Vanika Fyne asks, "Why would /you/ get it?"
  425. [18:20] Morgan Townshend says, "WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING"
  426. [18:20] Zendrick Boreale says, "No, you. "
  427. [18:20] Rosaline Cromwell says, "WHY ARE WE SCREAMING"
  428. [18:20] Leo Lachlyn asks, "Why wouldn't I get it?"
  429. [18:20] Chroma Zanders says, "Whoever does the most work gets it, if that's even a thing."
  430. [18:28] Anna says, "guild: not like we can die"
  431. [18:28] More mist than flesh, the wraith shot through the city. No creatures accompanied it, for it was too fast, too... Different. With every brief materialization, a vile wail ruptured glass and eardrums alike, shattering through buildings.
  432.  
  433. Mortal arrows and spears passed through it like rocks through fogs, though its own attacks did not have the same courtesy. Blood splattered as winds tore men to shreds, their bodies turned into gore-tattered ribbons of armor and meat.
  434.  
  435. As magi careened into it, the thing dived forth, a chilling scream erupting, blackened ice forming from the tar that continued to pour from the sky.
  436. (Kalikor)
  437. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  438.  
  439. [18:30] Soaring above the battle on burning green wings, Sophia Song holds both of her swords to her sides. Dawn’s Truth, the nyeshk blade empowered with Huitzilopochtli Rune glowing green with her power is the first to be brought around in a strike as she dives into the fray screaming a battle cry.
  440. (Sophia Song)
  441. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  442.  
  443. [18:30] Nash take his staff, the tension can be feel.
  444. The Voltage can be feel.
  445. The purple is appearing.
  446. Nash is ready for what will happen Next.
  447. (Nash Volta)
  448. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  449.  
  450. [18:30] Jonn is here ready to fight the big monster. he's gone all around the world searching for evil and this is the next big thing. "For my sister.." he says, picking up his gun but realizing he only brought a staff. Oh well he thinks to himself, i will have to make do as he gets ready to fight the monster.
  451. (Jonn Wick)
  452. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  453.  
  454. [18:31] Rosaline was not ready for this. The mist was so dense, but because of the light of others she was just barely able to see; it was evident that this wasn't going to go -too- well. A deep breath escaping her mouth as she stabs the ground with her staff and prepares for the very worse.
  455.  
  456. If dying today was an option - very well, but she had bigger things to do before meeting Azrael personally. The first thing she was going to do was assist in taking this monster of a beast down with the most pussy tactic she can think of. The battle cry from Sophia was heart warming and motivating, so she was going to push forward with her attacks.
  457.  
  458. "We may die today, but we will take this bic boi down!"
  459. (Rosaline Cromwell)
  460. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  461.  
  462. [18:31] The Oscuri lived for battles against creatures such as this. Massive. Destructive. Fast. Dangerous.
  463.  
  464. Her blade was in hand, and already she was covered in the tar that was raining from the sky. Flesh and hair were blackened, outfit stained by the viscous and dark liquid that was pouring from the clouds above. The only thing that was shining through were those piercing eyes of emeraldine that were trained solely on this beast.
  465.  
  466. Each magi that accompanied her had their wellbeing surely and sourly ignored, as she was focused solely with her gaze trained on this monster. Although her gaze was sour and stern, she had a huge grin that betrayed the look in her eyes.
  467.  
  468. Lips blackened and polluted by the foreign substance raining on them all were curled into that grin the whole time. All she could say was,
  469.  
  470. "...Already having fun..."
  471. (Morgan Townshend)
  472. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  473.  
  474. [18:31] Ser Artaghh would steel his nerves, gauging that this might have been the first and spookiest ghost he'd ever faced down. Yet, he has sworn an oath to Dawn to face down any threats to its citizens, even if they are specters of malevolent intent that gave the bald knight the idle shivers. Gripping his axe, he would inhale and exhale a few times, steeling his nerves before locking his remaining eye's stalwart gaze upon the wraith, preparing for grim combat against the grand ghoul.
  475. (Artaghh)
  476. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  477.  
  478. [18:33] Rosaline Cromwell asks, "guild: So, how's the weather?"
  479. [18:33] This was it, then.
  480.  
  481. Whatever Kalikor could be classified as, one thing was for certain: It was far too strong for the young Ookami to hope to tackle alone. While the others showed bravado and their strength, the youth keeps quiet and exercises his timid nature in preparation for the battle to come.
  482.  
  483. "Just don't get in the way. Don't be a hindrance to your allies. Don't be a hero.."
  484.  
  485. His mumbling becomes something like a chant, eyes studying the abomination before him. Finally, a pulse of wind surrounds his form and he prepares to go to war for his home.
  486. (Amuro)
  487. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  488.  
  489. [18:34] Alvi stumbled through the city, shards of glass and debris raining down rather harmlessly atop their head. Still, the dust on their robes illicits an irritated huff from the undead as they wander past various townspeople running for cover. Stooping down to help a fallen bystander to their feet, they gesture the civilian as far away from the action with a few murmured words.
  490.  
  491. Just how on Agartha did these things even come to be?
  492.  
  493. Their troubled thoughts were interrupted by a howling scream, chilling even the normally-stoic undead to the bone. The Nethradin's sudden arrival sent Alvi's paper-thin figure sprawling to the floor and struggling to get their bearings. With a quiet hum, they glance around at the variety of magi as they prepare to do battle - and pick themselves up off the floor to jump in right alongside them.
  494. (Alvi Slade)
  495. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  496.  
  497. [18:34] Blue hues tracks a mist like creature rushing passed the others and deeper into town to destroy glass and walls with a screech, and it attacked innocent citizens.
  498.  
  499. "Damn it..", Leo muttered under his breath. It would've been simpler if the monsters didn't split up and took Dawn's forces head on, but there was no time to waste. They had to make do with this situation.
  500.  
  501. With a grit of his teeth, the raven haired swordsman flew after the monster with his blade drawn and energy flowing. A group of other Magi also arrived on the scene.
  502. (Leo Lachlyn)
  503. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  504.  
  505. [18:34] Vinny's hair was swept back and their feet nearly left the ground. The ornamental blade they had clutched in their hand was shattered by the force of the being that charged forth. By the chilling scream that made their blood go cold and their excitement wane for just a moment. Murky jade eye's widended into saucers and holding onto a broken sword.
  506.  
  507. Being slammed into it's sheath, blood running down their torn open left hand. Wind and water combined, their stance tightened and her breath slowed. The crys, the confidence of her comrades even as the scent of blood filled the city. An elation sweeping through, Vinny let themselves become one amongst the crowd.
  508.  
  509. Wind and Water at the ready, to bring death to this grand foe of Azreal's chosen.
  510. (Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth)
  511. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  512.  
  513. [18:34] Well, that was likely what he needed. Alastor moved around, allowing the gas mask to slowly obtain itself from the noxious fume that he used. The red smoke of the evaporating rage potion was enough to push him a bit further than usually.
  514.  
  515. Well, at least it could do so.
  516.  
  517. There were people, not all under his gaze; But all needed to be protected from the thing ahead, if they were to serve him in the future. One hand moved towards the handy arcanium blade, unsheathing it.
  518. (Alastor G. Vishkar)
  519. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  520.  
  521. [18:34] Perfect. An incorporeal being versus an exorcist. A match made in heaven -- at least, that's the hope. Holy radiance pulsing off her body accented by the green lines that stain her form just beneath. Emerald eyes scanning around for those that would help her in this fight.
  522.  
  523. If mortal weaponry didn't affect it, Artaghh would probably be very unhappy. Perhaps if she was able to bolster his form however with divine providence -- he'd be able to cleave it in twain.
  524.  
  525. There's no fear, eyes locked with the beast before them as she summons up a holy shield in preparation for the battle. Hopefully with her healing abilities they'd be able to pull through.
  526.  
  527. "I'd prefer fighting the "leader", but, I suppose you'll do."
  528. (Vanika Fyne)
  529. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  530.  
  531. [18:34] Zendrick found himself faced against a creature of pure mist, violently swirling like a tornado of evil. It ripped apart the non-magi soldiers that stood beside him.
  532.  
  533. His aura flared, blood and energy sparked off his form, and Zendrick readied his staff. Adrenaline pumping and heart racing, he'd yell at the violent storm of evil.
  534.  
  535.  
  536. "Lets go, Freakshow!"
  537. (Zendrick Boreale )
  538. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  539.  
  540. [18:35] Utilizing his blade, Chroma would realize that this being was nigh intangible as he saw arrows and the like passing through it. In a stroke of experienced wit however, he'd coat his blade in a swathe of his Aura in an effort to make his strikes connect.
  541.  
  542. Not knowing how this would all go down, though being fairly confident in the might of so many magi grouped up in one place, along with the addition of heavy hitters like Alastor and Artaghh, patience, and cooperation to his blows might be appreciated.
  543.  
  544. Already being a bit cautious of the hazardous frost he saw forming in an area around the large opponent he'd attempt to use his burst swinging Vritra style to the fullest of it's capabilities.
  545.  
  546. "Let's see how uh...this goes, yeah?"
  547. (Chroma Zanders)

  551. [18:36] Rosaline Cromwell whispers something.
  552. [18:36] Amuro whispers something.
  553. [18:36] Allende skirted the engagement, twirling the short blade he favored in hand. It had been long enough since real combat that he felt the anxious tension of a novice in him, that common doubt. It was almost as if he were a boy looking up to demons, again.
  554.  
  555. But he was older, now, and a magi.
  556.  
  557. He snapped the grip in hand, leveling it at the otherworldly force of nature sundering through the ranks. His own form mirrored it's display, fading into the world, an ill-defined cloud. He turned his chin up, adding enthusiastically,
  558.  
  559. "This is dangerous..."
  560. (Allende)
  561. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  562.  
  563. [18:36] The siren watched helplessly as the wraith tore through their numbers, shredding men apart in the blink of an eye. They had no chance. Instantly wiped off, devoured like a plankton in the infinite ocean.
  564.  
  565. 'You won't be lonely, Yama will take care of you now.'
  566.  
  567. Uttering small prayers as people were decimated. She remained hiding away behind their numbers. Moral support and occasional spells were enough, right?
  568. (Anna)

  574. [18:46] Rosaline Cromwell says, "Y-yep."

  616. [19:26] Hatsu Wvelven asks, "Who cares about last hits?"

  623. [19:27] Alison says, "You all are focused on the wrong things. "
  624. [19:27] Arturus looks around in confusion about whats happening.
  625. (Arturus Stone)
  626. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  627.  
  628. [19:29] Chroma Zanders says, "Last hits don't really matter, but we're breathing. So, mission accomplished."
  629. [19:29] Anna exclaims, "Yup, I'm a hero!"
  630. [19:29] Theomars says, "But we are evil."
  631. [19:29] Nash Volta says, "we fight well with the power of evereone"
  632. [19:30] Xaedhyn feels sick knowing so many are in such a terrible condition since he practically slipped through when compared to those with great strength around him. Xaedhyn says,"I don't plan on making all of this worth nothing, I will forge the x-blade"
  633. (Xaedhyn)
  634. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  635.  
  636. [19:30] Alex hovers close, his left hand clenched into a fist, Telrer was motionless but his flames danced along his body, the others finished with their threats it had seemed.. he hovers patiently waiting for what was to come.
  637. (Alex Monolyn)
  638. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  639.  
  640. [19:31] Alison says, "If we sacrifice Bei right now we all can survive."
  641. [19:31] {NARRATION} With every creature that died, a burst came, a scream, a powerful wail. By now, buildings had begun to sad, stone bubbled and melted under the acidic rain. Those soldiers that hadn't sought shelter would find their armor and clothing tearing away. Perhaps it was less effective on flesh, for while it left terrible rashes and aches, it did not melt as it did foundation.
  642.  
  643. With every 'leader' figure that was brought low, a foul burst of chaotic magic erupted. Some part of it tore off, an ethereal echo impossible to catch. With the last death, the air went still. The rain stopped, the wind ceased its terrible howling.
  644.  
  645. The only sound was that of Nethradin spirits pouring together, to something. Tar gathered, boiling. With the spirit of Ectaazi, something new was added.
  646.  
  647. The earth began to sunder, melting and burning, flames erupting out. Immolating bodies, buildings, undead, tearing through everything in its path.
  648.  
  649. A mouth tore up from the bubbling stone, roaring its hate, its dominance. The gathered tar poured towards it, elevating the head on a body of stone and corrupt mass. The stench of the chaotic was powerful as limbs came into view, spiked and terrible.
  650.  
  651. It roared again, stomping the ground, shaking the very earth.
  652.  
  653. It was not done yet.
  654. [19:33] {NARRATION} If you do not want to participate in the final fight, you are not required to. Every time you were downed in the previous fights was counted and recorded, and going down further will increase the likelihood of being injured.
  655.  
  656. You have been warned.
  657. [19:34] Hatsu Wvelven says, "."
  658. [19:34] Jonn Wick says, "*sees the thing because boy... it was big. "no matter" he says as he readies his magic, knowing he was the strongest one there. "Im already ready for anything.""
  659. [19:34] Xaedhyn calmly walks up to the creature and asks."Can you help me forge the x-blade?"
  660. (Xaedhyn)
  661. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  662.  
  663. [19:34] After their own fight she felt the burst of chaotic energy... and then felt two more shortly after some distance away... then the earth began to break...
  664.  
  665. She watches the the thing form and roar...
  666.  
  667. Now she truly saw the power of the threat they faced and she grinned...
  668.  
  669. The spirit goes quiet.... as if waiting for her... or... it is afraid...
  670.  
  671. Her aura flares as she readies herself.
  672. (Jessi Ann)
  673. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  674.  
  675. [19:34] Sophia heaved with heavy breathing, rieka burning all around her. She cried out, "Glory to Azrael! Glory to the Legion!" Running forward, she lifted Dawn's Truth high into the air, runes glowing green. With a leap into the air, green wings carried her high and she brought the blade around, carving a line of sparks across the creatures body as she dove past.
  676. (Sophia Song)
  677. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  678.  
  679. [19:35]
  680. Ser Artaghh would grip his axe blade with a shiver of primal, uncontrolled fear at the sight of the goliath of fell, ghoulish assembly before him. He was wrong earlier. THAT was the biggest ghost he'd ever seen. No contest. Yet, once more the knight would prepare to engage in the defense of his beloved home, for that was his oath, and his word was his bond. Gritting his teeth, he'd wipe a bit of blood from his nose before staring down the great monster with a sense of dread, having a strange feeling that something incredibly terrible was going to happen to the bald Human.
  681. (Artaghh)
  682. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  683.  
  684. [19:35] Arturus sees a huge creature appear infront of him, he soon after gets too scared and runs away.
  685. (Arturus Stone)
  686. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  687.  
  688. [19:36] More and more fell in the way of Nethradin. His own rifts cut a few off, teleporting others to the wayside where they would be far from the battle. But for everything that was killed there was a scream and a change. Grey and green looked, searching over their surround as the whispering eye is drawn. They flew closer to where the other groups were, preparing to group up as earth sundered melted and burned underneath.
  689.  
  690. A mouth had arisen from the stone, a new foe that seemed to be powered by the whole of the rest. The Nethradin summoner takes his weapon and readies it, keeping his gaze on the creature below.
  691.  
  692. "Somethang bigger this time. Mor' interestin'. Le's see wha' its base components are made from."
  693. (Sors Ultovex)
  694. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  695.  
  696. [19:37] Xaedhyn freaks out happily noticing the creature didn't even pay attention to his existence.
  697. (Xaedhyn)
  698. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  699.  
  700. [19:38] "Fuck."
  701.  
  702. "FUCK."
  703.  
  704.  
  705. Two words escape Hatsu's mouth as the battles raged onward, only to give way to a creature so massive that it encompassed the majority of the magi gathered. He stumbles back out of sheer shock, perhaps put off by the magnitude of this beast in itself. But he looks around him, accounting for the mass of dead bodies and fallen soldiers...and the prospect of breaking this creature and acquiring some of its goods. Surely, if he could come out of this with some new materials, his weapon in the making could only become that much more significant, no?
  706.  
  707. The danger was there, but he would nod towards Sors as his starlight aura appears to kick into..overdrive! It viciously surrounds Hatsu, as his blade is drawn once more.
  708.  
  709. "I'm sure it'll make a good weapon." He retorts, despite the nervous grin on his face.
  710. (Hatsu Wvelven)
  711. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  712.  
  713. [19:38] Zendrick stood in shock in the massive demon that had formed. It towered above them all, expelling a truly epic amount of energy.
  714.  
  715. His own body was burning from the fight with the wraith, but he could not back down. Blood and Energy were drawn up again the gargantuan demon, attempting to access whatever he had left. He'd cry out toward the rest of the magi in the town.
  716.  
  717. "Glory to the Legion! Glory to Azreal! We cannot back down!"
  718. (Zendrick Boreale )
  719. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  720.  
  721. [19:38] Jennifer righted her shoulder after a particularily nasty slam back into the ground from the previous fight. Nothing was severely injured and she'd be as right as the pitch black rain falling down on them in a matter of hours.
  722.  
  723. That is if they managed to survive the next encounter. A hulking behemoth soon tore open the earth beneath to emerge. One more final challenge to take down. Jennifer grit her teeth as she slinked behind Vedran's side for a moment. Palpable fear was beating under her skin and yetg the ghoul summoned up her courage to stand her ground.
  724.  
  725. "Go for the legs." She said aloud to herself. "The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Just don't get crushed under it."
  726. (Jennifer Ivanovich)
  727. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  728.  
  729. [19:39] Vinny's arm was nearly limp on their left side. It was dislocated, but they coulden't really feel it. The adrenaline of the fight, the blood trailing down from their chin. The ripped gambeson and their skin breaking out in rashes.
  730.  
  731. Their heart hammering like a million angels were being killed, like Azreal himself was here before them. Life felt perfect, glorious even as people bled and died. From the drearyness of Loranthis, from the hunts in the mountains.
  732.  
  733. Vinny got to experience true war, true battle for the first time. Got to feel the feeling that they had craved for oh so many years. Got to feel this excitement, this lust, this need to prove themselves.
  734.  
  735. "For azreal, for honor, for blood and for Loranthis!"
  736.  
  737. Yelled out with a hoarse voice, their blade broken drawn once more. Their being, their breath ragged and their lungs almost seizing. This Oscuri seemed unwilling to run away, despite the fact they were in way over their head.
  738. (Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth)
  739. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  740.  
  741. [19:39] Blinking intently behind their mask, Alvi takes a few steps back at the emergence of such a gigantic monstrosity. Just when you think you've seen it all...
  742.  
  743. "Well," Alvi murmurs quietly. "This it, then."
  744.  
  745. Did a situation like this truly need a large speech, anyhow?
  746. (Alvi Slade)
  747. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  748.  
  749. [19:39] Leo was sweaty, dirty, and tired from their scarce victory just moments ago.. He wasn't done fighting though as a monster bigger than all the others pooled together to attack as one monstrocity.
  750.  
  751. The swordsman stringed together more energy to continue the fight with as blue mana enflared his form.
  752. (Leo Lachlyn)
  753. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  754.  
  755. [19:40] The creatures had seemingly melted into tar, the earth rumbles and cracks and melts into a fiery mess, magma of sorts? Alex's gaze stares up as the creature forms.
  756.  
  757. He clenches his weapon, holding it with two hands, releasing his puppeteer's grasp on his daemon, he'll let it go all out.
  758.  
  759. It was massive, scaling.. an abomination unlike any other, with all those close to him though and with well.. minor wounds from his last fight he was fine, he will fight the creature regardless of what his gut said, this was a true battle. If he could fight and beat this Nethradin construct of sorts.. he could fight all who went in his way!
  760.  
  761. "We will take down this creature! None can survive the might of Dawn!"
  762. (Alex Monolyn)
  763. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  764.  
  765. [19:40] The rain pouring down upon her continued to wither down her armor. Irritating her skin and causing her to grow angrier, more lost in the battle and her visions. She wanted to rend the limbs from the beast in front of her. She knew she was young... still inexperienced... and lacking of any real martial prowess aside from her swordsmanship.
  766.  
  767. The sight of the beast that towered over even the largest of buildings in the city did nothing to dissuade her, either. All she did was start to grin even larger, despite being covered in her own blood.
  768.  
  769. Morgan roared,
  770.  
  771. "What a lovely day it's turned out to be already!"
  772.  
  773. She soared into the sky once more on wings made purely out of her rieka. It didn't seem like she was intent on being on the backlines of this, or running away, even despite her age. If this was going to be her last day trudging the streets of Dawn, she'd make it a good one.
  774. (Morgan Townshend)
  775. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  776.  
  777. [19:40] Fear.
  778.  
  779. The boy felt chills as he saw the creature, it was too big and probably even stronger than the others. He knew there was no way he could defeat it.. but he couldn't run.
  780.  
  781. His fist hardening and the marble around him recovering once again to get ready for what it seems like a last fight. Bold and stupid but too proud and hungry for glory to run.
  782. (Theomars)
  783. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  784.  
  785. [19:40] The creatures roars pierced the siren's fragile ear drums. She thought it was over, but this was just the beginning. The ground cracked and burnt everything in its path. Anna ran as lava began to spew from the land beneath her feet.
  786.  
  787. Completely horrified, she watched the rock and tar shaped itself into a towering monster. Even she could feel the chaotic and heat energy radiating from its body, despite being a substantial distance away from it.
  788.  
  789. Quivering she held her staff high, still determined to fight alongside her comrades in arms.
  790.  
  791. "Uhh... Go team!"
  792.  
  793. She yelled, likely being heard by no one.
  794. (Anna)
  795. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  796.  
  797. [19:40] A pitiful match at first, the group Vanika had splintered off with couldn't hope to contend with the horrid wraith that assasulted them. But the Osucri tried her little heart out, healing the wounded and consecrating the ground beneath them to help defend against the monstrosity that had slain so many.
  798.  
  799. But with every blow, the wraith grew weaker and weaker until it was a pitiful wretch that felled easily enough beneath their combined attacks, managing to drive the creature back, finally having defeated it.
  800.  
  801. The Osucri had fell many times, picking herself up after each body-rocking strike. She should have just laid down and accepted defeat, but if there's one thing she has: It's pride. Pride won't allow her to simply lay down like some mutt waiting for death. She'd die before she admitted any defeat.
  802.  
  803. So again, she forces herself back to her feet. The whispers of impossibility swirling around her.
  804.  
  805. "Just run."
  806.  
  807. "It's too big."
  808.  
  809. "You could die."
  810.  
  811. They dared to imply cowardice on her behalf? Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable. She wasn't going to back down here. Not now, not ever.
  812. (Vanika Fyne)
  813. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  814.  
  815. [19:40] Cordelia was.... Pretty tired. She had cuts, bruises, scrapes... So many smaller injuries that overall wouldn't have mattered usually... But this? This was different. She stared upwards at her, and then looked over towards Hatsu after he spoke of fighting it. The young girl shook her head,
  816.  
  817. "... I think this is as far as I can go," she admitted truthfully, "This is out of my ability to fight, I'd just either get in the way and cause people to die, or die myself. Good luck, Hatsu!" she called out. Cordelia was not going to be fighting today.
  818. (Cordelia)
  819. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  820.  
  821. [19:40] Leo Lachlyn whispers: ...Alex.
  822. [19:40] Mahar observed the scene in silence.
  823. She had no death wish, yet she remained.
  824. (Mahar)
  825. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  826.  
  827. [19:40] Alex Monolyn whispers something.
  828. [19:40] He would ready himself once again, he was somewhat injuried but he didn't care in his eyes could be scene some carnal desires.
  829.  
  830. The winds around him would slowly get more unpleasant, as he looked on to the new enemy with eyes of bloodlust. He didn't care he had finally found an outlet to all his suffering.
  831.  
  832. He couldn't back down, at this point he was to far gone. The adrenaline, the blood pumping, his drakanic instincts flourished. This was completely and utterly stupid but every fiber of his being wanted to fight. So that's what he did.
  833.  
  834. Tired and in over his head, he grabbed his mace and readied his stance.
  835.  
  836. "Looks like fun." He would announce with a crazed look in his eyes.
  837. (Agem Geodipt)
  838. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  839.  
  840. [19:41] It was massive. Horrifyingly powerful.
  841.  
  842. They had come too far now. The options were to fight or surrender the city, and if the others weren't going to step down...? Neither would he.
  843.  
  844. The boy readies his dagger and whistles for his wolves, forcing them to fight with him. It was do or die.
  845.  
  846. "Man.."
  847. (Amuro)
  848. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  849.  
  850. [19:41] Leo Lachlyn whispers: Glad to see you're ok.
  851. [19:41] Gazing up at the atrocious being of tar, deceit and inglory Chroma would feel his heart drop into his gut as he grabbed his blade.
  852.  
  853. He'd never seen anything this colossal, it's scope, and the miasma oozing from it was something that he could barely even fathom. Shaking his head, he'd steel his nerves, embracing once again his Energetic Aura's vigor and pooled his strength.
  854.  
  855. Standing beside some of the strongest that the Legion had to offer, he'd feel like he was destined to get into a situation of this magnitude at some point. Shifting his style, he'd surmise that this wouldn't be a walk in the park in the slightest.
  856.  
  857. Gulping down his inhibitions, he'd be tactical in his blows, striking at the joints, and dashing along the beast's form, attempting to widdle away, and chip down the behemoth to the best of his abilities.
  858.  
  859. "This would....be a beautiful way to go, I'm not going to lie. Let's give em hell Dawn. I'm sure Azrael's wondering where his pet went anyways..." he'd let out calmly, washing away any doubt before the charge.
  860. (Chroma Zanders)
  861. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  862.  
  863. [19:41] Alex Monolyn whispers something.
  864. [19:42] Leo Lachlyn whispers: Hehe.. that's exactly why I have to help.
  865. [19:42] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth whispers: W-Wha?
  866. [19:42] The vampire swiftly darted forward, slashing and striking the smaller Nethadrin while avoiding the Amalgamation.. for the moment; until the legion of beasts lurched ever closer-- It wasn't long until the fight was EVENTUALLY over, tightly clutching his side as the beast was felled..
  867.  
  868. Was that it?
  869.  
  870. "Well that was eas--" That was a lie. It wasn't easy, nor did the towering magmatic creature look like a cakewalk; gawking at the beast.. Why couldn't Malentine have summoned THAT during Baukdengrad's fall?! Glancing to both Jennifer and Josephine.
  871.  
  872. Only slightly perturbed by the sight.
  873.  
  874. "Question! Do we get extra points by takin' that thing down?" Another revelation hit the man-.. it was a beast composed of the vampire's least favorite element, raising a hand to shield his own pupils.
  875.  
  876. In truth?
  877.  
  878. Running was LIKELY a brilliant idea... but that wouldn't be fun.
  879.  
  880. Anticlimactic if anything.
  881. (Vedran Ivanovich)
  882. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  883.  
  884. [19:43] Allende had staggered onto the ground, post the battle with Kalikor. He wheezed, already winded from the past bouts, but recovering as swiftly, blessed with the constitution of a magi- And no longer a quivering boy, but dwarfed as if he were.
  885.  
  886. He shook the tar-like ichor off his blade, a modest thing, feeling himself a worm to a goliath, an involuntary shudder of panic and base human fear alighting through his spine, stealing the breath from his lungs. By now, the man was soaked in tar, stained black in soot and pitch, the suffocating touch of the occult thick in the air.
  887.  
  888. It was all he could do to not buckle on his feet from the beast's thunderous rise. But he rose, the howls of the wind- Imagined and literal -resounding through every fiber of him. Fear and pain- So much bravado for feeling alive, but this had no doubt made him more aware of his mortality. Knuckles white on his grip, he laughs manically, glancing Artaghh's way.
  889.  
  890. "This will be one HELL of a story, Rag! Let's try to bring it home, for Green Hill!"
  891.  
  892. The illusory winds swaddled him, and the mere peasant drew more into a disembodied will than a man, the hovering vision of a many-armed idol, phantom blades pursuing him.
  893.  
  894. "Together!"
  895. (Allende)
  896. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  897.  
  898. [19:43] Alex Monolyn whispers something.
  899. [19:43] Battered and bruised, the Rift mage uses her rifle as a crutch and stares down the creature as it finally dies away. OR, so they thought...But it began to reform, stone added to it's form and a new creature rose up in its place. It was big, mean and likely something deadly in nature.
  900.  
  901. "Okay, so...This is bullshit." Stated right out, the Chaos magi mutters something and pushes themselves to stand up straight. Not only was she hurting from the last fight, but now a NEW thing appeared?! Taking a deep breath, the gun is pressed to her shoulder and the barrel pointed at the raging monster.
  902.  
  903. Taking a step back, a strange voice in the back of her head screamed out in fear. Though rare an occurrence as it was, Josephine felt...Scared! This thing could very likely crush them all in a single swing! Letting the runes at the side of her weapon charge, burning hues narrow.
  904.  
  905. Scared or not though, she was not one to back away from a fight.
  906.  
  907. Glancing to Vedran, a frown crosses Josie's lips. "Good luck big guy, let's both do our best...Again, because apparently this giant FUCK does not know when to stay dead!" Pausing, a wicked little smile replaced the previous expression. "...Vedran, same deal applies, double or nothing! Whoever kills it buys the drinks!""
  908. (Josephine Dusk)
  909. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  910.  
  911. [19:44] Leo Lachlyn whispers: Same to you Alex./
  912. [19:44] Leo Lachlyn whispers something.
  913. [19:44] Down. Time and time again, the Yano couldn't progress enough to assist in defeating the creatures of the North. The Nethradin. The Wraith. Blood broke from under her skin. More scars to litter her body later.
  914.  
  915. Nature wasn't enough to keep her steady after the battle. Aspen backed off with the several jars of tar she'd obtained, but...
  916.  
  917. They were tugging? Towards the masses building up into something catastrophic. More screams from the acidic tars that even the glass couldn't contain echoed through her ears. The build up of the Nethradin continued..
  918.  
  919. Into something dastardly. Disgusting. Horrific.
  920.  
  921. The Yano shook her head.. if she couldn't muster up enough to keep herself standing against one within a battle with many? Then how could she prevail here and stay alive?
  922.  
  923. She had her ways.. Eyes glance to Hatsu momentarily if he'd been paying attention or not, but the panting woman ran.. she wasn't going to remain for this fight. She wouldn't risk her life for their city. Their people.
  924. (Aspen Yano)
  925. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  926.  
  927. [19:45] Alex Monolyn whispers something.
  928. [19:46]
  929. {LOAD GAME}
  930.  
  931. [19:46] Jesse Hawke says, "who wants to join the wvelven clan again"
  932. [19:48] Jesse returns home to quite a fucking scene. Nethradin. In his city. Well - it wasn't REALLY his home, but it the closest thing he had to it. With something that massive, that overwhelmingly powerful in the middle of the city? This was truly, truly ridiculous. Even without a sense of home or belonging... having the entirety of what he knew as life threatened like this?
  933.  
  934. Even the idiot, drooling, barely even a magi teenager felt fear. Danger. A sense of purpose.
  935.  
  936. "I...W-- Ethan!" He calls out to his brother, trying to shout out over the crowd!
  937.  
  938. "Where are you Ethan?! Did it eat you?!"
  939.  
  940. His heart sinks. Oh no! His brother was fucking dead! Or missing! Gone! He doesn't wait for the signal, the deafening sound of an entire crowd of angry pissed off fightin' magi shouting over eachother coupled with a titanic monsters mere presence making it almost impossible to hear a single voice.
  941.  
  942. His eyes turn, looking to the monster that had totally just eaten his brother.
  943.  
  944. "...I have to help." Despite having nearly no power to his name, at the very least he could poke it from... very... very far away. Even the tiniest bit of magic was sure to be a welcome addition to a giant battle like this! Right?
  945.  
  946. From as far away as he could get, the terrifie fledgling mage shoots little blips and bloops of starlight at the massive monster, hoping to eventually topple it by sheer will and persistence.

  949.  
  950. [19:58] Jonn Wick says, "help"

  987. [20:27] {NARRATION} If you're not getting injured, get away from the line.
  988. [20:34] {NARRATION} Chroma and Allende, report front and center. You've earned a fabulous trip to -20 vit forever.
  989. [20:42] Morrana DM whispers something.
  990. [20:42] Chroma Zanders whispers something.
  991. [20:42] Allende whispers something.
  992. [20:42] Chroma Zanders whispers something.
  993. [20:43] {NARRATION} Injuries are finished being applied. Will everyone gather back at Dawn for one final narrate.
  994. [20:44] Jesse found himself fucking annihilated. In short order as well. Nearly as soon as the battle began, he was dropped like a fly. A massive wave of fire - from a source unknown engulfed him in mere seconds.
  995.  
  996. It was insane. Far more powerful than anything he had ever experienced before. Jesse is left on the ground, embers smoldering from his form as his lightless eyes gaze at the dirt he had slammed his face into. He had hoped to be more useful than this... damn!
  997.  
  998. Despite it all, the flames had done little more than singe and scald, leaving him tender - and a shade of bright red... but otherwise alive and fine
  999. (Jesse Hawke)
  1000. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1001.  
  1002. [20:45] Hatsu Wvelven whispers something.
  1003. [20:46] Augatu Shino says, "big birb"
  1004. [20:46] Cassidy falters just a little bit, then leans against Sors.
  1005. (Cassidy Invidia)
  1006. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1007.  
  1008. [20:46] Cassidy Invidia whispers something.
  1009. [20:46] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1010. [20:47] Cassidy Invidia whispers something.
  1011. [20:48] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1012. [20:49] {NARRATION} Pieces of the city were cracked and ruined. The massive beast, some thirty foot tall, likely more, tore through without care, without even a target. It mindlessly killed, mindlessly destroyed. Great claws tore through people, magma leveled buildings. Undead fell by the dozen, even the hundred.
  1013.  
  1014. Dawn was prepared for an army, and an army it had received.
  1015.  
  1016. But one could not fight all the magi of a city and come out on top, no matter how powerful the one was. Too many wounds accrued, too many injuries. It leaked tar as blood, forever corrupting where it bled, where it lay.
  1017.  
  1018. Until its legs gave in, until the beast gave a final, deafening roar, and collapsed down, the very ground beneath it cratering from its death.
  1019.  
  1020. And with it, the wave had been broken, though concerningly...
  1021.  
  1022. The clouds above did not disperse, crackling ominously, vile purple lightning booming from one to the other, the thunder like wails of the damned.
  1023.  
  1024. As long as the rift remained hastily sealed, as long as the Nethradin upon the mountain were not dealt with, it remained clear.
  1025.  
  1026. This could, and would, happen again.
  1027. [20:51] Hatsu's boisterous laughter resonated with the young lord, who turns his head a crack and gives the mirthful man a small smile, eyes squeezed briefly with sincerity.
  1028.  
  1029. "You look better than I do," he replies to him, coughing. There are claw marks, gashes, and puncture wounds on his armor, but beyond flesh wounds that would heal over in a day, Un-wol had come out less worse for wear compared to a scant few among the other magi.
  1030.  
  1031. "Well fought."
  1032.  
  1033. This was more-so directed at the general populace, but his eyes never left Hatus. Then he turns away, facing the collapsing beast. It bled its dark vitae from realms beyond their mundane plane, and its roars emanated with a disembodied force and origin that simply did not belong to their world. The man only stares, lips forming a straight line.
  1034.  
  1035. "It appears our uncle's little portal needs some... tweaking," he remarks off-hand, coughing a second time. How embarrassing?
  1036. (Un-wol B. Invidia)
  1037. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1038.  
  1039. [20:51] Priscilla Invidia says, "hatus"
  1040. [20:53] The city scape was quite cracked and ruined. Green returns to gold in his socket, watching the damage done. The battle had been painful with many injuries, yet in the end the forces of the Nethradin in the mountain had been crushed. Ultovex cackled, sending his undead into rifts. The Nethradin that had been separated from the herd would be retrieved for his expirments later. The clouds did not fade.
  1041.  
  1042. Purple lighting and thunder boomed above, a foreboding display of what a rift was capable of. The one on the mountain had been hastily sealed but even more then that the problem harkened from the lack of control. He could see the problems now. This would happen again.
  1043.  
  1044. Surely.
  1045. (Sors Ultovex)
  1046. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1047.  
  1048. [20:53] After the battle had subsided, there was a deep calm behind the Oscuri's gaze. Satisfied with her efforts, the rush of adrenaline was subsiding. Suddenly she started to feel a sharp pain in her shoulder, looking to it. It was there she saw a deep, deep laceration... tainted with the occult, making it fester. Her own blood was slowly leaking down the side of her body.
  1049.  
  1050. She didn't look to be too bothered by it, though. Never was, not even by much worse injuries. She'd have to get medical attention, but it was better than being dead. The city was left in disrepair from the onslaught of the nethradin, and that would take longer to heal than the wounds she had received.
  1051.  
  1052. All she did was burst into a quiet chuckling fit, before slowly stumbling off. Leaving without worry for any of those who fought beside her, the only thing one would likely notice with how quiet she left were the small trail of blood she'd leave on the grass.
  1053. (Morgan Townshend)
  1054. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1055.  
  1056. [20:53] Arturus being thrown around eventually slayed the beast with the rest of the warriors and rested up. He noticed the clouds had not dispersed, he knew something still was not right.
  1057. (Arturus Stone)
  1058. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1059.  
  1060. [20:54] The young boy was rather injured after meeting with monsters like those. Even if he had managed to avoid the biggest and baddest of all creatures, he wouldn't be left unscathed. Blood was dripping down his extremities and consciousness made itself difficult to keep. With a heavy breath and half-lid eyes Ethan slowly made his way towards the one girl he believed could save him. He leaned into Shizuko, practically falling into her grasp if she'd welcome him, a few words being muttered.
  1061.  
  1062. The skies above and the grim future that awaited had yet to be understood or even noticed.
  1063. (Ethan Hawke)
  1064. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1065.  
  1066. [20:55] Ethan Hawke says, "It.. hurts..."
  1067. [20:55] A glance is given toward Un-Wol as his arms fold together, observing the rifts that ominously hung from above. He had seen for himself the sheer amount of Nethradin present within the mountains, so it comes to no surprise that a scowl soon forms upon his face. "It would appear that Lord Malentine will need a talking with, if we wish to seal this closed. The problems surfacing from these massive gashes into our world are problematic enough when venturing up to the mountains. There's Nethradin crawling up there, and it'll be an up-hill battle just to scour through them all." He mutters, relatively short on words.
  1068.  
  1069. They had acquired 'victory' if one could even call it that. The damage was extensive and the corruption laid into the ground would surely adversely affect Dawn's citizens. This was not a moment to celebrate, but a realization that this was a dire situation - and one that could've long been avoided.
  1070.  
  1071. Just how many years have those rifts remained stagnant?
  1072. (Hatsu Wvelven)
  1073. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1074.  
  1075. [20:55] The boy would pant as he would fly. He was tired, but he was alive, and surprisingly enough without injury.
  1076.  
  1077. It was over, all that wrath was quelled, as the moment faded. And now he felt a great pride.
  1078.  
  1079. But as he looked around it became increasingly clear that they hadn't one they had simply survived. Yet the was all the boy needed. He was content he had made it out okay.
  1080.  
  1081. He felt a bit of attachment to Dawn, as it was no longer just where he happened to be, but it was a place he defended, albeit that wasn't his main intention.
  1082. (Agem Geodipt)
  1083. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1084.  
  1085. [20:55] "I- it's gone now..", the Lachlyn panted a bit near the light post before letting his aura die down. They won the battle against the monsters, but the town was in complete ruins now.
  1086.  
  1087. As the adrenaline began to wear off, Leo felt more and more of the battles tax on his body. He should probably take a break for a bit before he does anything like this again.. Even though he wanted to be a hero to his home, he didn't want to wind up as beaten as his father before him would've risked himself for someone else's sake.
  1088.  
  1089. Not if doing so wasn't required.
  1090. (Leo Lachlyn)
  1091. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1092.  
  1093. [20:56] Jennifer came out unscathed. With the beast defeated with everyone's combined efforts, the ghoul's eyes went back to normal and her shadow 'snapped' back into its normal spot behind her.
  1094.  
  1095. She sighed in relief as she looked through the crowd. Now the true battle for her began. The battle of the medic against the horde of wounded. "Okay-WHO WAS INJURED!? WE NEED TO SETUP A TRIAGE! THOSE WHO CAN STAND PLEASE STEP ASIDE AND HELP DRAG IN THOSE BLEEDING TO DEATH!"
  1096.  
  1097. Always the professional.
  1098.  
  1099. (Jennifer Ivanovich)
  1100. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1101.  
  1102. [20:56] The Nagual seemed to take on a more wild demeanor as she fought... possibly even injuring a few around her foolish enough to not distinguish themselves as allies beforehand...
  1103.  
  1104. As she and the magi of Dawn and others fought the giant demon it was assailed from all angles with all kinds of magics... yet the beast endured smashing buildings rending people and undead into shreds...
  1105.  
  1106. She saw a few allies even fall and she became enraged... her lightning becoming more wild... les controlled... no...
  1107.  
  1108. The spirit reached from the amulet... much more than it had before... its magic seemed to envelop her own.. not giving her strength... but more like a guiding hand.. like one would teach a child to hold a sword their hand over the others..
  1109.  
  1110. She reined herself under control again with the spirits help... their emotions feeling ever more blended...
  1111.  
  1112. Eventuall the demon would fall.. the onslaught from the greatest of Dawns magi and otherwise proving to be too much forthe fell creature...
  1113.  
  1114. The Nagual roared as the beast hit the ground a cry of victory and a warning to others....
  1115.  
  1116. This was her home... all who attacked it would find themselves in the same position as the Demon...
  1117.  
  1118. The gold in her eyes... turned a little orange...
  1119. (Jessi Ann)
  1120. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1121.  
  1122. [20:56] Cordelia had, thankfully, escaped with her senses and her limbs intact. No serious injury, to speak of, beyond those previous minor scratches, cuts and bruises. She was alive; that was the most important thing here! As the others laid the final blow upon the gigantic Demon, the blue haired girl looked skyward, towards the rifts, with apprehension, and a frown on her face. It was concerning, but could she do anything about it?
  1123. (Cordelia)
  1124. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1125.  
  1126. [20:56] Shizuko looks around at the destroyed buildings and dead laid around the city. Her face shows an expression of sorrow, having never seen such destruction before. She closes her eyes for a moment, before re-opening them with focus. She needed to deal with the wounded before one could grieve. She turns to the boy she promised to help,
  1127.  
  1128. "Are you okay Ethan? I can do what I can to ease the pain. Just let me know how I can help."
  1129.  
  1130. She takes a glance at the wounded around her. It seemed a lot of others had suffered injuries. She would, at the very least, need to prepare a large quantity of lax essence. She digs into her bag and eyes her mithril prosthetic, lax essence, and elixir of healing.
  1131.  
  1132. It wasn't enough.
  1133.  
  1134. "I'll help you with what I can now, but I need to make a run for some more alchemicals, okay?"
  1135.  
  1136. She sighs at the Elixir of Healing. Alas, it was the only one she had due to the rarity of amber. She curses herself for trading so much amber away. But she knew a brave soldier could handle the pain more than a child could. She offers her elixir of healing to the child before her.
  1137.  
  1138. "Here... drink this. You'll feel better."
  1139. (Shizuko Megumi)
  1140. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1141.  
  1142. [20:56] Rising from the rubble of the cataclysmic bouts, Chroma would wear a smile despite his bloodied features. His right eye bleeding a bit profusely as he kept it closed. It oddly ran a black, unsettling liquid instead of the natural crimson in comparison to the rest of his wounds.
  1143.  
  1144. Sheathing his blade and cracking his shoulder, his smirk would fade into a small bit of concern as he watched the their efforts be dispursed as he got the unsettling feeling that this would be happening again somehow.
  1145.  
  1146. Numb to a majority of the pain due to his adrenaline he'd attempt to look to his right, and realize he'd have to do some extra effort to do so with his newfound and ethereal injury.
  1147.  
  1148. ". . . . It dark on one side to anyone else..?"
  1149. (Chroma Zanders)
  1150. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1151.  
  1152. [20:57] With how much the city was damaged and how many of his Undead has died, the Lich has become quite disappointed with presence of Nethradin- to cause such losses and wreckage... it drew a drawn out, annoyed grumble out of him. There's no doubt that the beast had fallen from the vast team effort made by all of the people in here, and yet...
  1153.  
  1154. The losses were perhaps a little too much.
  1155.  
  1156. It would take a year, perhaps two for the Necromancer of Arthur's level to get back enough corpses to restore all the lost Undead... and while he's skilled enough to resurrect more and more by dozens, and even hundreds, it's still an awful chore for him to do. With battle ending, the remaining Undead Generals gathered around him, the most empowered ones that were not another faceless creature in the vast army at Lich's disposal. A mutter followed.
  1157.  
  1158. "Begin preparing assault plans for the north. I'm getting tired of this."
  1159.  
  1160. A single sentence is all that the Lich had to say. With a nod, Undead Generals hurried off to issue necessary orders to meet such demands- the countless bodies scattered across Agartha would be collected in greater capacity and speed, and surely, Arthur would have plenty of tireless days to spend on conjuring up more Undead, to make up for the losses... at least, it's easily recoverable enough.
  1161.  
  1162. As for him? The magic of the cold dispersed, and the pattern of atmosphere became normal - save for the ominous skies above them. Now, it's only a matter of time until the Lich leads his army to cease the advances of Nethradin.
  1163. (Arthur Rowan)
  1164. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1165.  
  1166. [20:57] The chaos ensued was almost.. beautiful- wind whistling through new cracks and damage.. the skies brewing a mesmerizing storm. Had the Nethradin not been so destructive and overwhelming.. Onibi wouldn't have minded a world where they thrive.
  1167.  
  1168. But life was no fairy tale.
  1169.  
  1170. Flying over the united army of Dawn, Onibi would perch over the fountain- ruby eyes staring out toward the world's reaction- toward their next objective. Surely, they would not be able to prevent another catastrophe- and so he wondered what they planned to do.
  1171.  
  1172. Was this their wake up call?
  1173.  
  1174. Onibi stared out toward the injured Invidias and their allies- since those were the only people he even remotely cared about.
  1175.  
  1176. "Let us return. We have done our part."
  1177. (Onibi)
  1178. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1179.  
  1180. [20:58] A monstrous aberration had appeared, larger than than any before it, it dwarfed even the buildings within Dawn. A creature of hate and rage that stamped down any beneath be it person or building -- all balked before its wrath.
  1181.  
  1182. It would be admirable, and respectable almost, if it weren't also a mindless beast. Such wonderful destruction and suffering all around, it's hard to contain ones excitement at this excellent display. It's simply a pity that the beast had chose to wander to Dawn and die. The citizens here were actually worthwhile.
  1183.  
  1184. The Oscuri had pressed on through the battle, suffering a number of wounds but refusing to acknowledge them. To display such weakness was beneath a chosen of Azrael -- beneath her. Heightend adrenaline allowing her to simply ignore the pain she was feeling, and heal herself to pristine condition.
  1185.  
  1186. She shrouds her friends and allies in holy shielding, restoring them as best she may whilist blasting the monster with her holy rage, and soon enough, it falls, simply unable to withstand the wrath of so many magi.
  1187.  
  1188. Such odd black blood, melting away at stone and foundation and poisoning the skin. The girl rushes forward in an attempt to scoop some of it into a vial. Hopefully it wouldn't melt he glass.
  1189. (Vanika Fyne)
  1190. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1191.  
  1192. [20:59] Today she had come here an exile, came an Oscuri that was thrown to the continent of Agartha. That for her unorthodox beliefs was thrown from the house, was expected to find meaning, to redeem themselves on this cursed bloody contient. Today she had came into a land of black rain, she had charged forth besides the magi of Dawn.
  1193.  
  1194. Her body was covered in black, her left arm was dislocated and held a shattered metal blade, held a broken wooden hilt her feet trembling as she stood atop a pile of rubble. As the scent of blood, as the feeling of her bruised body ached delightfully, she felt alive. She felt like a champion, like Azreal was smiling upon them.
  1195.  
  1196. Their right hand grasping onto their left and with a crack the shoulder was relocated. A startling gasp leaving their throat, their leg's trembling and their lungs out of breath. Vinny smiled, an upturned thing that morphed into a grin.
  1197.  
  1198. Despite how many people were dead, despite how the sky was this horrid color. Despite how her body felt like it had been bashed through several buildings and perhaps she had been.
  1199.  
  1200. She felt alive.
  1201.  
  1202. "FUCK YEAH!"
  1203.  
  1204. Excitable, overjoyed almost tearing their chords as the rubbel underneath them gave way. As her feet lost their footing and their legs got caught, they hit the ground from the pile with a thump. Body twitching and panting, bleeding faintly from their head when it had hit the ground.
  1205.  
  1206. She was left grinning, wheezing and on the edge of consciousness.
  1207. (Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth)
  1208. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1209.  
  1210. [21:00] The battle had finished, and though Renengin had new scratches and marks to add to his collection the powers that be had protected him from death, even from serious injury. The power of the people in this city was truly something to behold, and Renegin could not believe his luck as he knelt on the ground, breathing heavily with sweat dripping from him.
  1211.  
  1212. There in that city of Dawn, he had experienced first hand the type of horrors this world could throw at him and knew he had to improve. Sooner or later he would have his own battles to fight, and he would need to win them. He gripped his sword tightly, digging it into the ground as he pushed himself up. Seathing the blade and looking around at the smoking ruins of the city. It was horrible, but at the same time an overwhelming sense of accomplishment washed over him. He had lived through something impossibly destructive, and he would be damned if he wasn't ready for the next time.
  1213.  
  1214. He took a few deep breaths now, looking up at the darkened sky before wiping his brow and tensing his jaw at the thought of what would happen next.
  1215.  
  1216. "Well....I'll be damned that was one big bastard. I think im...im gonna go rest some."
  1217.  
  1218. He looked around, sighing at the lack of remaining builds and instead just sat there, motionless staring at the ground. Thinking over all that had just transpired.
  1219. (Renegin Billard)
  1220. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1221.  
  1222. [21:00] The behemoth roars out loud, a last war cry, a threat in really. Alex covers his ears in pain as the creature screamed out whilst it crumbled to the ground, embers and magma tossed all over, the buildings crumbled before the might of Dawn.
  1223.  
  1224. The ground beneath it grumbled and it descends, looking down it was like a fiery hell of sorts..
  1225.  
  1226. They had defended themselves from the power of nethradin, it fileld Alex with pride that he was apart of this city even if it was minor but looking over to the mountain he could tell it wasn't over, the cloud were still there that rained down the shadows.
  1227.  
  1228. He looks over to the wreckage of the creature and examined it closely.
  1229. (Alex Monolyn)
  1230. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1231.  
  1232. [21:00] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1233. [21:01] Augatu Shino says, "gg"
  1234. [21:01] It's finished.
  1235.  
  1236. Dawn has prevailed, but at what cost?
  1237. Parts of the city had been destroyed, thick waves of magma coated buildings and houses and many people - soldiers and citizens alike - sustained grave injuries... But the city was safe. It might've not felt like a true victory - but in a sense, it was. It was the best outcome they could've hoped for.
  1238.  
  1239. It just didn't feel that way.
  1240.  
  1241. Throughout the fight with the Nethradin, Nautia too, sustained some injuries. She was reckless, and it showed. One of her ribs had been broken by a telekinetic blast and twisters of vile, chaotic wind have ripped through parts of her clothes and skin.
  1242.  
  1243. As she slowly returned to the ground from the skies, the small snowflakes into mere drops of light rain- until they were no longer.
  1244.  
  1245. Red eyes peered through the crowd of injured and deceased, looking for a pair of kids in particular. They weren't dead, were they?
  1246. (Nautia Avitus)
  1247. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1248.  
  1249. [21:02] Battered and burned, the Cainite would stumble about as the volcanic creature fell; the city was NEARLY reduced to rubble within a singular invasion of Malentine's vile Nethradin.. Glancing around the field, attempting to pick Josephine from the crowd.
  1250.  
  1251. Clenching his teeth, it felt like the vampire became SLIGHTLY boiled underneath platemail, due to the Amalgamation's occultic blaze.
  1252.  
  1253. "Josie.. I--" Staggering for a moment, wincing before uttering another word. "Won."
  1254.  
  1255. Despite outlasting the rift magi. It simply was clear that the Cainite wasn't in good shape - Lucky! The damage wasn't lasting! It didn't make much sense that the vampire MANAGED to fight an entirely different bout, while SOMEHOW injured by the previous one..
  1256.  
  1257. But who was Vedran to question it.
  1258. (Vedran Ivanovich)
  1259. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1260.  
  1261. [21:03] Her hand ran slowly over the injuries of the face. The scars. Molded flesh burnt away. Still burning. Quite... painful. "... hh." How annoying. She'd be feeling the sting for quite some time. "... It only succeeded in opening my wound to air again, how annoying." Touching it made the pain amplify for a few degrees.
  1262.  
  1263. But it didn't stir reaction out of her. "How pointless too..." Could anything even be pulled from the demon that was felled? "... hh. There were better ways to spend this time, I feel."
  1264.  
  1265. Like training Mitzi. Or eating chocolate and watching from a distance with her feet by a campfire.
  1266.  
  1267. "Suppose it was fun while it last." But had an unsatisfying end.
  1268.  
  1269. She scratched the left side of her cheek. Exposed and burning... she only seemed to have a grin as if she were happy. But held some expression of dissatisfaction. "Back to the fire I guess.." If Mitzi was up, perhaps she do a bit of aiding her.
  1270. (Maina Invidia)
  1271. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1272.  
  1273. [21:03] Sophia fell hard into the ground, collapsing on her knees as the green wings on her shoulders evaporated into nothing. She shoved the end of Dawns Truth into the ground and leaned upon it, her mythril saber held loosely in her offhand. Heavy breathing heaved her body up and down as she coughed out the acrid smelling and tasting air. Looking up to survey the battlefield, the broken buildings, and the hundreds of dead, her green eyes remained burning. She tilted her head to the sky and cried out. No words, just a shout of anger, of glory, and mourning for the fallen.
  1274.  
  1275. When it died away, so too did the rieka burning around her. She got up, hoisted her blade from the dirt, and slipped both into their scabbards still covered in black blood and burning bits magma. There was time enough for cleaning weapons later. Sophia jogged to the nearest of the injured, and knelt over them to inspect their wounds.
  1276.  
  1277. ”You’ll be fine,” she told the young man, a common soldier. One quick glance over his wounds told her all she needed to know. This man would die a slow painful death unaided. A hand went to her dagger and she slowly pulled it free. ”You did well. Azrael will be proud to see you,” she promised just before she stabbed him in the heart, ending the suffering. She closed his eyes and moved on to the next.
  1278. This one could be saved. ”Calm down, let me see it. I’m with the medical division.”
  1279.  
  1280. (Sophia Song)
  1281. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1282.  
  1283. [21:04] The battle had ended, yet the skies remained dark and the rain continued. Zendrick was tried, but for the majority wise unwounded. He knelt in the square, observing the wounded and dead in the now-devastated Dawn.
  1284.  
  1285. His hood would go up.
  1286. (Zendrick Boreale )
  1287. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1288.  
  1289. [21:04] The battle raged on. All across the city magi cried outin unison, the undead fought with equal passion to push back the creature to the sparring grounds. It was an utter mess, magic going everywhere while everyone scrambled to fight the best they could against the horrid creature.
  1290.  
  1291. Rushing through the fire and rot, Rifts tore open and allowed the small woman a bit of reprieve from the monstrous goliath. Bruised and battered, motion proved more and more difficult for Josephine, forcing her to rely on cannon fire for cover.
  1292.  
  1293. Over and over, waves of magic and corrupted energy fought back against the magi and undead-- But they would not fall. Raising both hands, more rifted cannons shot off and made the woman smile-- Only for an advancing wave of fire to force her backwards again. Slaming back into the tree, the dazed woman watched through foggy eyes as the battle continued without her.
  1294.  
  1295. It was not until the creature had falled that she herself could stand up. Shakey though it was, legs managed to carrying the battered woman past the crowd of injured folk to seek out someone in particular. Spotting the vampire, she hurried over and-- "You won..? PFFT! Hardly but...Because you got so fucked up, I'll buy drinks anyways." Smiling, hands reach out to stabilize the man.
  1296.  
  1297. "Let's, uhh...Let's get you a doctor?"
  1298. (Josephine Dusk)
  1299. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1300.  
  1301. [21:05] The boy was met with a gentle, calming presence. Despite Shizuko's own worries and the trouble that plagued her mind, the girl managed to make everything better. With a bit of reassuring and a magic elixir being given, Ethan already felt better. He moved to sit down on the ground, bottle in hand and his eyes shifting from side to side. He drew in a breath, uncorking the gift before he looked down towards it.
  1302.  
  1303. Blue liquid floating right there, shifting back and forth with gravity's effects and emenating what seemed to be a rather... pleasant feeling. He was unable to hold back a smile, without further ado, Ethan pulled the bottle up and drank from it.
  1304.  
  1305. It was refreshing unlike anything else. He could already feel his wounds being mended and worry being drawn away.
  1306.  
  1307. ".. Thanks, Miss Shizuko." He let out.
  1308. (Ethan Hawke)
  1309. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1310.  
  1311. [21:05] Un-wol B. Invidia says, "Well, what a thrill."
  1312. [21:05] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "You're like an angel..!"
  1313. [21:05] Chroma Zanders says, "I....think I need a doctor."
  1314. [21:05] Mahar sighs.
  1315.  
  1316. "I guess I can go home and have some carrot cake"
  1317. (Mahar)
  1318. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1319.  
  1320. [21:05] Chroma Zanders says, "Anyone uh...yeah I think my eye's pretty fucked."
  1321. [21:06] Hundreds of undead fell from the sky, the giant beast tore down buildings, trees, people. She could not let her mind stray, she would have to keep fighting. The siren focused on cutting down the undead horde and extinguishing the raging fires around them. The thirty-feet beast wasn't something she could handle. The heat that radiated from its body was enough to frighten the fragile girl.
  1322.  
  1323. The inferno continued to rage as Dawn's strongest magi clashed against the monster. She continued to staves off the undead and protect the city's populace when a towering wave of fire began travelling in the direction she was in.
  1324.  
  1325. Anna could've easily turned into a cloud of mist to avoid the attack, but there were weak, innocent people around her. Drawing any source of water around her and condensing the miniscule amount of water in the dry air she would create a wall of water, just tall enough to protect the citizens from the direct sear of the fire.
  1326.  
  1327. The water immediately turned to steam when it made contact with the blaze, heavily scalding the girl's body. It was enough. Many may have received temporary, or permanent burns to their skin but it was better than death.
  1328.  
  1329. She laid flat on the ground, drained of all her energy and weighed by exhaustion. Then a deafening scream caused everything to rumble, she could feel the beast's fall shaking the earth beneath her.
  1330. (Anna)
  1331. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1332.  
  1333. [21:07] Chroma Zanders says, ". . . . ."
  1334. [21:07] Shizuko Megumi says, "I better go make some lax essence at the very least.."
  1335. [21:07] Shizuko Megumi says, "I'll be back."
  1336. [21:07] She remained oddly quiet. She was alive, definitely. She didn't know what else to say, or do at this point.
  1337. (Cordelia)
  1338. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1339.  
  1340. [21:08] Sirocco says, "Pardon, madam."
  1341. [21:08] With the battle over and her chest sliced open, Cassidy weakly floats back home to patch herself up. The wound would still have to heal after she did, though.
  1342.  
  1343. But to anyone looking, they'd notice that her insides were bright cyan, and she's been dripping water for the longest time.
  1344. (Cassidy Invidia)
  1345. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1346.  
  1347. [21:08] Chroma Zanders says, "My head's killing me.."
  1348. [21:08] Un-wol B. Invidia says, "..."
  1349. [21:08] Sirocco asks, "Do you have any healing potions for sale?"
  1350. [21:08] Un-wol B. Invidia says, "I shall be close to home, if anyone requires me."
  1351. [21:08] Renegin Billard says, "No one's dead then? Damned impressive."
  1352. [21:08] Sophia walked up to Chroma, covered in black tar, except for two pristinly cleaned hands. She put one on the side of his head and inspected his eye.
  1353. (Sophia Song)
  1354. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1355.  
  1356. [21:09] Chroma Zanders asks, "Eh..?"
  1357. [21:09] Vel Invidia says, "I guess I'll return home now.."
  1358. [21:09] Renegin Billard says, "If its not smashed to shit like everything else. Best go see if your homes are still upright."
  1359. [21:10] Jennifer Ivanovich says, "Yes, hello."
  1360. [21:10] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Mmh."
  1361. [21:10] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "This means one thing only."
  1362. [21:10] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Is anyone injured?"
  1363. [21:10] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Anyone still here, that is."
  1364. [21:10] Chroma's eye wasn't really there, just a mass of blackened liquid within his eye socket with some visible trauma around the wound. Needless to say it looked equitable to a horror show.
  1365. (Chroma Zanders)
  1366. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1367.  
  1368. [21:10] Renegin Billard asks, "..Demons are bastards?"
  1369. [21:10] Josephine Dusk says, "I think Vedran got a little cooked."
  1370. [21:11] Chroma Zanders asks, "What's the damage..?"
  1371. [21:11] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "... I can make the healing elixirs, if that's the case."
  1372. [21:11] Renegin Billard says, "Well if he aint sizzling he make it...probably."
  1373. [21:11] Jennifer Ivanovich asks, "Ahh-Lord Vedran are you alright?"
  1374. [21:12] Josephine Dusk says, "Jenny, give your pops a bandaid, he smells like cooked roast."
  1375. [21:12] Renegin scratches at his beard as he finally got off the ground. Taking a cloth out from his bag and wiping away some of the battle grime on him
  1376. (Renegin Billard)
  1377. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1378.  
  1379. [21:12] Cordelia asks, "Are you okay, Nautia?"
  1380. [21:12] Vedran Ivanovich says, "I hurt."
  1381. [21:12] Hatsu would adjust his gaze toward Aspen, briefly turning her to face him as he scowls lightly. "Why were you even out here fighting when you just recovered from a serious maim? Are you alright?" He inquires, briefly giving her a once-over to confirm his own question before she even got a word in. Despite this, he would allow her to speak up, his hands dropping to his sides as he exhales in mild frustration.
  1382.  
  1383. Of all the scrap and broken portions of land, he didn't find much of anything actually useable.
  1384. (Hatsu Wvelven)
  1385. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1386.  
  1387. [21:12] Vedran Ivanovich says, "However.."
  1388. [21:12] Josephine Dusk says, "It's okay Alastor, I think we got tall, dark and brooding handled."
  1389. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich exclaims, "WHO WANTS TO BUY AN ELIXIR OF HEALING!"
  1390. [21:13] Anna says, "Rubble everywhere..."
  1391. [21:13] Josephine Dusk says, "--..."
  1392. [21:13] Anna says, "Smoke."
  1393. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "... What?"
  1394. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "You expect me to NOT advertize?"
  1395. [21:13] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "... Sell it to me."
  1396. [21:13] Josephine punches the chestplate area containing the most burns!
  1397. (Josephine Dusk)
  1398. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1399.  
  1400. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich asks, "How much..?"
  1401. [21:13] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Five grand."
  1402. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Ag---agh"
  1403. [21:13] Jennifer Ivanovich asks, "Everyone is dying and hurt and you're trying to sell medicine. Is this fucking America, Vedran?"
  1404. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich says, "What"
  1405. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Okay."
  1406. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Deal."
  1407. [21:13] Chroma Zanders says, "Don't know if it'd help.."
  1408. [21:13] Anna says, "Alastor?..."
  1409. [21:13] Anna asks, "Is my hair on fire?"
  1410. [21:13] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "What?"
  1411. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich says, "<I was going to sell that shit for one grand but..>"
  1412. [21:13] Renegin looks around at everyone getting back to being themselves. He flashed a quick smile before walking off to the North, a hand still on his sword just in-case.
  1413. (Renegin Billard)
  1414. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1415.  
  1416. [21:13] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "God, I hate that it isn't."
  1417. [21:13] Anna asks, "Is it?"
  1418. [21:13] Vedran Ivanovich whispers something.
  1419. [21:13] Anna says, "It's so hot..."
  1420. [21:14] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Yes."
  1421. [21:14] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Get desperate."
  1422. [21:14] Anna says, "I see."
  1423. [21:14] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "free lax essence for the injured! One per person and you must use it immediately!"
  1424. [21:14] Chroma Zanders asks, "Does that work for possibly gone eyeballs?"
  1425. [21:14] Shizuko Megumi says, "... No..."
  1426. [21:14] Josephine Dusk says, ". . ."
  1427. [21:14] Anna says, "<Karma!>"
  1428. [21:14] Chroma Zanders says, "Fuck..."
  1429. [21:14] Anna says, "That sucks..."
  1430. [21:14] Jennifer Ivanovich says, "Right-Let's see those burns Vedran."
  1431. [21:15] Josephine Dusk says, "Yeah, strip down."
  1432. [21:15] Vedran Ivanovich exclaims, ".. I'm in town!"
  1433. [21:15] Anna throws her head into the rubble to put the fire out.
  1434. (Anna)
  1435. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1436.  
  1437. [21:15] Vedran Ivanovich says, "I expected this from you Josie.."
  1438. [21:15] Anna says, "Thanks, Alastor."
  1439. [21:15] Vedran Ivanovich exclaims, "But Jennifer?!"
  1440. [21:15] Sirocco asks, "Miss Shizuko how much do you charge for that Lax Essence?"
  1441. [21:15] Josephine Dusk says, "I rubbed off on her, I guess."
  1442. [21:15] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "As I said, free for the injured!"
  1443. [21:16] Sirocco says, "I was not injured in what took place here, but I need some regardless."
  1444. [21:16] Aspen had ran off amidst the calamity of the nethradin. The downpour of black ichor had ceased, and all was quiet except for the various conversations throughout Dawn.
  1445.  
  1446. Aspen returned with hesitation. The damage of the nethradin was heavy. Many she'd seen were injured, but nothing too serious. Her gaze was place upon Hatsu who had approached and turned Aspen to face him.
  1447.  
  1448. One step back, she'd see the man wasn't injured. A sigh of relief.
  1449.  
  1450. "I'm fine. I was just here when it happened. I ran before all of that sludge fully formed into that huge Nethradin."
  1451. (Aspen Yano)
  1452. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1453.  
  1454. [21:16] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "Jeeze, should I have brought a mandrake potion? I made twelve of these things!"
  1455. [21:16] Chroma Zanders says, "Anyone selling Mythril...uh? Eyeballs? How do....look, it's bleeding alot."
  1456. [21:16] Jackal says, "Jew City.."
  1457. [21:16] Jackal says, "void"
  1458. [21:17] Allende had, by some miracle, survived.
  1459.  
  1460. Survival seemed such a dull prospect, however, when the man could not stop bleeding. Dirt, soot, blood, and tar- He hardly seemed the part of a man, anymore. When the battle concluded, he was a wreck of a man, raked through the mud after battling through injuries sustained at the gale wraith.
  1461.  
  1462. He'd met it head-on. There was a nobility in that, he thought, as if straight out of the tales of knightly feats. Fighting to keep conscious, he palmed the muddy, bile-coated grass, slipping once or twice before managing to half a seat, wondering if this were death coming. It felt familiar, like hunger.
  1463.  
  1464. Cloak torn to tatters, he glanced around dizzily, the razor occult winds rent deep into his veins. He idled there for a time, too much blood lost to register as much. It was almost dream-like, looking down at himself, wondering if it were his body.
  1465.  
  1466. Placing a hand at one of his wounds, no pressure nor filth that entered them seemed to staunch the remnants of the battle. Sucking a slow breath, he craned his head back, a dizzied, quiet groan escaping him. He sluggishly dragged himself back from the sands, wounds and pitch making sure he left a trail.
  1467. (Allende)
  1468. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1469.  
  1470. [21:17] Jennifer Ivanovich says, "Ahh-Figured they were on the arm or legs..."
  1471. [21:17] Anna says, "Shizuko..."
  1472. [21:17] Vedran Ivanovich says, "Chest.."
  1473. [21:17] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Hmm?"
  1474. [21:17] Anna asks, "Can I have one?"
  1475. [21:17] Josephine Dusk says, "Glue a googly eye over an eye-patch, that'll make you right as rain."
  1476. [21:17] Shizuko Megumi says, "Sure, you just have to use it now, as to not have people abusing the handouts."
  1477. [21:17] Anna says, "Uhm.."
  1478. [21:17] Vedran Ivanovich says, "You can look like Artaghh"
  1479. [21:17] Anna says, "Not here."
  1480. [21:17] Chroma Zanders says, "Pfft."
  1481. [21:17] Aspen Yano whispers something.
  1482. [21:18] Anna exclaims, "My entire body is burnt!"
  1483. [21:18] Jennifer Ivanovich asks, "Right, shall we find somewhere to work?"
  1484. [21:18] Vedran Ivanovich whispers something.
  1485. [21:18] Shizuko Megumi says, "Okay..."
  1486. [21:18] Shizuko eyes Anna.
  1487. (Shizuko Megumi)
  1488. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1489.  
  1490. [21:18] Anna asks, "Is it waterproof?"
  1491. [21:18] Shizuko Megumi says, "I'm not sure."
  1492. [21:18] Anna says, "..."
  1493. [21:19] Chroma Zanders asks, "Is uh? Can you build anything for this Shizuko?"
  1494. [21:19] Sophia smiled at Chroma as she looked him in the good eye. "Ya know, we can make you a really cool eyepatch." She chuckled and then groaned from her own soreness. "I can clean this up so you don't get an infection. I have supplies to patch it up in surgery, but that will have to wait. I need Kai or Eliza's assistance, and there are too many wounded to do it now."
  1495.  
  1496. She reached down and opened a medic's kit on her belt, pulling out mild anticeptic solution. Aiming it at his eye, she squeezed the bottle and then used gauze to wipe away the tar. It took some time, the stuff was so sticky, and Sophia cursed as half her bottle was used up.
  1497.  
  1498. Once cleaned, she wrapped half his head in a white bandage to cover the eye socket and wounded flesh around it. "Leave this on for a while. I'll get you a fresh one in a few hours, assuming I don't run out."
  1499. (Sophia Song)
  1500. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1501.  
  1502. [21:19] Chroma Zanders asks, "Oh?"
  1503. [21:19] Anna says, "I'll.. hide in the ocean."
  1504. [21:19] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Any other injured need a lax essence?"
  1505. [21:19] Josephine Dusk whispers something.
  1506. [21:19] Shizuko Megumi says, "It's not much, but it's not like I have a trove of amber for healing potions."
  1507. [21:20] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Would you like me to make you a healing potion?"
  1508. [21:20] Jessi Ann says, "No its for you."
  1509. [21:20] Jessi Ann says, "For using yours."
  1510. [21:20] Anna exclaims, "She didn't use any!"
  1511. [21:21] Allende's head fell back. In his mangled stupor, he simply stared at the cloying darkness over Dawn, darkness encroaching at the edge of his vision like cigar burns. Laying there, he managed little other noise, breathing raggedly, bleeding like chattel at a charnel house. The lacerations suckered as he lay there.
  1512. (Allende)
  1513. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1514.  
  1515. [21:21] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Oh... thank you... do you mind if I make it into a healing potion and give that away?"
  1516. [21:21] Jessi Ann says, "Not at all."
  1517. [21:21] Jessi Ann says, "It would be helping Dawn or our allies."
  1518. [21:21] Shizuko Megumi says, "Okay, thank you. I have enough amber now for a couple more."
  1519. [21:21] Shizuko Megumi says, "I only had one piece left and each potion is two."
  1520. [21:22] Shizuko sighs.
  1521. (Shizuko Megumi)
  1522. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1523.  
  1524. [21:22] Shizuko Megumi says, "I guess i'll leave a pile of lax essence. Somebody please make sure nobody runs off with the lot."
  1525. [21:22] Looking back to Sophia, he'd allow her to work on him a bit to stop it's bleeding and keep it from infection as she'd stated. Nodding to her, he'd wince a bit at the pain that came from moving his head about at the time being.
  1526.  
  1527. He'd press the bandage over his eye as he clutched it, letting out a bemoaned chuckle as he thought maybe it wasn't the best idea to go all out against the Wraith to get the final strike on him and leave himself wide open for something like what'd felled him.
  1528.  
  1529. Giving a thankful pat to Sophia, he'd add his gratitude. "Thanks Soph...it means a lot, really."
  1530. (Chroma Zanders)
  1531. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1532.  
  1533. [21:23] Anna asks, "Shizuko, would you like some pie?"
  1534. [21:23] Shizuko Megumi says, "I'd appreciate it if nobody ran off with it like a huge jerk. It's meant for the wounded."
  1535. [21:23] Zendrick Boreale says, "I have Mythril, if someone can make this into a trauma kit."
  1536. [21:23] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "Hmm? Thanks, but i'm a bit stuffed!"
  1537. [21:23] Anna exclaims, "Okay!"
  1538. [21:23] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Trade?"
  1539. [21:23] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "See ya!"
  1540. [21:23] Chroma Zanders asks, "Do...i need one of those? Soph?"
  1541. [21:23] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "Be back with healing pots!"
  1542. [21:23] Zendrick Boreale exclaims, "Thank you!"
  1543. [21:24] Chroma Zanders says, "Wai--er...alright."
  1544. [21:24] Zendrick Boreale asks, "Chroma?"
  1545. [21:24] Chroma Zanders says, "Yeah."
  1546. [21:24] Zendrick Boreale says, "You, uhh..."
  1547. [21:24] Chroma Zanders asks, "Am a Cyclops?"
  1548. [21:24] Zendrick Boreale says, "You look cooler, at least."
  1549. [21:25] Chroma Zanders says, "Beh...shit, maybe."
  1550. [21:25] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth asks, ".....What..what attacked us exactly?"
  1551. [21:25] Sophia Song says, "Yeah, you do."
  1552. [21:25] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Nethradin."
  1553. [21:25] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Get used to it."
  1554. [21:25] Hatsu peers at the woman before him with mild exasperation, but he wastes little time in chastising her for her actions. She had enough sense not to get involved needlessly in the battle that had yield little more than destruction and grief. Scratching the back of his head, he would proceed to begin walking away from the damage torn streets, staring at a few collapsing buildings with a mild scowl.
  1555.  
  1556. These Nethradin were going to be dealt with, one way or another. "Come, Aspen." He states quietly, his tone surprisingly lacking that rough vibe that was typically there. Perhaps the destruction that ran rampant among them had smoothed out his typical aggression.
  1557.  
  1558. Right now, he was just drained.

  1562. [21:25] Sophia Song says, "I have supplies, but we'll run out soon enough."
  1563. [21:25] Zendrick Boreale says, "You going to get an eyepatch, or like, just leave it."
  1564. [21:25] Chroma Zanders asks, "So, should we wait for Kai, or something?"
  1565. [21:25] Sophia turns her attention to the crowd, "Who else needs first aide?"
  1566. (Sophia Song)
  1567. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1568.  
  1569. [21:25] Chroma Zanders says, "I'll leave it closed. Eyepatches are cliche."
  1570. [21:25] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth says, "...I see. Agartha is worse then the stroys...s-storys told."
  1571. [21:25] Aspen nods her head and follows along with Hatsu. "I'm coming."

  1575. [21:25] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Does anyone have a ..."
  1576. [21:25] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Burn, or something of the like?"
  1577. [21:26] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Other than missing limbs or permanent afflictions."
  1578. [21:26] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I'll take that as a no."
  1579. [21:27] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Glad to see most of Dawn's fine."
  1580. [21:27] Chroma Zanders says, "Someone.."
  1581. [21:27] Vinny casually takes that axe.

  1585. [21:27] Chroma Zanders says, "Should help Allende."
  1586. [21:27] Chroma Zanders says, "He'd kinda dying."
  1587. [21:27] Anna says, "I have a burn.."
  1588. [21:27] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Where's Allende?"
  1589. [21:27] Chroma Zanders says, "South."
  1590. [21:27] Chroma Zanders says, "My good eye can see that much"
  1591. [21:27] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "You're missing an entire eye?"
  1592. [21:27] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Geez."
  1593. [21:28] Chroma Zanders says, "That's my monthly service to Dawn"
  1594. [21:29] Sophia walks over to observe Allende with Lord Vishkar. She reaches into her kit as she visually inspects the man.

  1598. [21:29] Zendrick Boreale says, "You're like Artagh now."
  1599. [21:29] Chroma Zanders says, "I still think I need surgery, though."
  1600. [21:30] Shizuko Megumi says, "Excuse me, what is your name? My name is Shizuko."
  1601. [21:30] Shizuko Megumi says, "The one who gave me amber.."
  1602. [21:30] Anna says, "His name is Jessi."
  1603. [21:30] Jessi Ann says, "Jessi is what I go by now, it was Jessika originally."
  1604. [21:31] Chroma Zanders asks, "She's a man again?"
  1605. [21:31] Anna asks, "Huh?"
  1606. [21:31] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Ahh, didn't we meet when you were Jessika?"
  1607. [21:31] Anna exclaims, "Huh!"
  1608. [21:31] Anna exclaims, "Impostor!"
  1609. [21:31] Jessi Ann says, "More than likely"
  1610. [21:31] Jessi Ann says, "I think maybe.."
  1611. [21:31] Shizuko Megumi says, "I think you told me of the news of Annie and I gave you something for it."
  1612. [21:31] Zendrick Boreale says, "You did really good today, Anna. "
  1613. [21:31] Shizuko Megumi asks, "So you know who needs these potions?"
  1614. [21:31] Chroma Zanders says, "Do..."
  1615. [21:31] Jessi Ann says, "Hm..."
  1616. [21:31] Chroma Zanders says, "I won't even ask.."
  1617. [21:31] Shizuko Megumi says, "Fresh out of fairy powder and amber, so it's all I have left."
  1618. [21:31] Sirocco says, "I could use one, but not before Chroma or anyone else."
  1619. [21:31] Chroma Zanders says, "I don't think those'll help me, Sirocco."
  1620. [21:31] Sirocco says, "Mh."
  1621. [21:31] Sors Ultovex asks, "How many pateints left?"
  1622. [21:31] Sirocco says, "That trip to the Umbral Path cache the other day has left me rather drained."
  1623. [21:32] Agem Geodipt says, "That sure was an experience..."
  1624. [21:32] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Who needs the potions the most do you think?"
  1625. [21:32] Chroma Zanders says, "That sounds like it would've been more entertaining than what I'd just seen."
  1626. [21:32] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "No one does, I think."
  1627. [21:32] Allende lay there. When Alastor enters the field of vision over him, the eye that isn't swollen shut from the bruising wanders lazily, far enough to catch the Eternal at the corner of it. The dark encroaching at the corner of his sight almost made it dream-like, the sight of the Oscuri, desaturated in color, save for his Rieka marks. He'd have mused aloud it seemed heavenly, though it seems the only sound Allende makes are the gargles when he breathes.
  1628.  
  1629. Perhaps the immediate concern would be that he is covered in the Nethradin's filth. The pitch and tar of the rain, the mud, the blades of grass- Though they could not cake him so thickly as the blood, blood in enough quantity it could be safely assumed as his own. The suckering wounds he sustained- profoundly deep, vicious lacerations that a body could never heal perfectly -had carved hunks out of his body. Though the more minor of them would've likely clotted by now, most alarming is that the blood has not been staunched by any coagulant, nor by the muck he'd been raked through.
  1630.  
  1631. Like meat in a charnel house.
  1632.  
  1633. He must have dragged himself back from the shores several feet, as there are stains of polluted blood there, raking back in a trail to where he'd finally succumbed. Though still conscious, his chest heaves irregularly, bloodied.

  1637. [21:32] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I offered a few as well."
  1638. [21:32] Sors Ultovex asks, "Everyones tended?"
  1639. [21:33] Chroma Zanders says, "Also, thank you Mrs. Shizuko"
  1640. [21:33] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "... Sors, this one ain't."
  1641. [21:33] Sirocco says, "I could use one, if none else."
  1642. [21:33] Shizuko Megumi says, "That's miss shizuko..."
  1643. [21:33] Shizuko Megumi says, "I'm not married."
  1644. [21:33] Anna says, "It's okay.. the burn will go away."
  1645. [21:33] Sors Ultovex asks, "How bad hurt?"
  1646. [21:33] Chroma Zanders says, "The next Crystals I find are on the house, and uh? Alright."
  1647. [21:33] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I think quite a bit."
  1648. [21:33] Sophia Song asks, "You have this one, Lord Alastor?"
  1649. [21:33] Cassidy returns with a medical bag and some kits.

  1653. [21:34] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Jessi, do you know who needs the Elixir of Healing the most?"
  1654. [21:34] Sors Ultovex asks, "Rite, rite. Kits?"
  1655. [21:34] Chroma Zanders says, "Eh, Sors."
  1656. [21:34] Sors Ultovex asks, "Ya?"
  1657. [21:34] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Mmh. Shizuko, do you have a kit?"
  1658. [21:34] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Or the energy to make one."
  1659. [21:34] Chroma Zanders asks, "You mind making sure my brain doesn't fall out my eye socket?"
  1660. [21:34] Alex Monolyn exclaims, "Shizuko!"
  1661. [21:34] Chroma Zanders says, "I just got a kit."
  1662. [21:34] Cassidy Invidia says, "I have three."
  1663. [21:34] Morgan Townshend says, "Fuck's sake."
  1664. [21:34] Sors Ultovex says, "Tha's gon cost extra. "
  1665. [21:34] Chroma Zanders says, ". . . . ."
  1666. [21:34] Sors cackles.

  1670. [21:34] Sors Ultovex says, "Ya, I can."
  1671. [21:34] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth whispers something.
  1672. [21:35] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Got one kit extra."
  1673. [21:35] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Jessi?"
  1674. [21:35] Chroma Zanders asks, "Can..you take indentured payments?"
  1675. [21:35] Shizuko Megumi says, "Well, I guess Sirocco gets one."
  1676. [21:35] Chroma Zanders says, "I've got 500 on me.."
  1677. [21:35] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I'll pay what remains."
  1678. [21:35] Sirocco says, "Here, I can give you further recompense later."
  1679. [21:35] Jessi Ann asks, "Someone needs a kit?"
  1680. [21:35] Alex points to Morgan, "She's hurt and seems to stubborn to admit it, can I buy a elixer off you Shizuko?"

  1685. [21:35] Chroma Zanders says, "Thanks Alastor."
  1686. [21:35] Shizuko Megumi says, "I'd like you to drink it now if you don't mind."
  1687. [21:35] Sors Ultovex says, "Lemme take a look."
  1688. [21:36] Shizuko Megumi says, "Thanks."
  1689. [21:36] Sors Ultovex says, "Someone bring 'em kit."
  1690. [21:36] Sors Ultovex says, "Fer one o' the other."
  1691. [21:36] Cassidy Invidia asks, "Who?"
  1692. [21:36] Shizuko Megumi says, "I have one Elixir of Healing left."
  1693. [21:36] Agem Geodipt says, "Look like everyone got through it alright. Some more banged up than others."
  1694. [21:36] Shizuko Megumi says, "Alright.... I can put it towards more alchemicals."
  1695. [21:36] Shizuko Megumi says, "thanks."
  1696. [21:36] Anna says, "Give it to Legion members."
  1697. [21:36] Anna says, "They need it more, they fight."
  1698. [21:36] Name: "Eye for an Eye"
  1699.  
  1700. Desc: Chroma had been so eager to land the final blow upon the wraith that he had left himself open to its deathrattle. Ethereal hands reached through him, freezing what they touched, leaving a terrible trail of black, caustic tar. From the neck, to the face, to his eye, shattering it, ruining it, leaving a leaking black mess in its wake. Disgusting.

  1711. [21:37] That lone eye peers glassily at Alastor, still. Though the man says nothing, it seems there's intent behind the gaze, as if the sight of the Eternal kept him anchored where he was.

  1717.  
  1718. Desc: A terrible blow of occultic winds had slashed across Allende's body, perhpas more worryingly, into his veins. He'd bleed like any man, the wounds cursed, refusing to heal. The bleeding could be slowed, perhaps stopped with prosthetic aid, but until then... Allende was left permanently bloodied.

  1729. [21:37] The boy wasn't to concerned, the others would live, the scars they had received were just as impactful as his arm, so he did sympathize a bit.
  1730. (Agem Geodipt)

  1732.  
  1733. [21:37] Shizuko Megumi asks, "Who here is a leader of legion?"
  1734. [21:37] Morgan Townshend says, "I've got a really fucked up shoulder."
  1735. [21:37] Anna says, "Alastor."
  1736. [21:37] Anna exclaims, "Mr. Eternal!"
  1737. [21:37] Alastor stares at Allende first, and then towards Chroma. Two people hurt that way, meant he needed to get someone else to complete the job. But who, was the thing. He glanced around, before kneeling some. One hand reached out to grab the fallen man from the ground.
  1738.  
  1739. "This one's worse. Inside the fortress, Sors?" He spoke, carrying Allende over his shoulder, holy magic pressed to keep him from bleeding.

  1756. [21:38] Morgan Townshend says, "Thanks for wasting my time, Loofy."
  1757. [21:39] Cassidy Invidia says, "If I'm not needed, I'm going to help Maina."
  1758. [21:39] Chroma Zanders says, "Uh....sure, everyone front and center Chromanatomy 101."
  1759. [21:39] Alex Monolyn says, "Sorry Morgan.."
  1760. [21:39] Morgan Townshend says, "I'm going to go back to what I was doing."
  1761. [21:39] Allende manages, perhaps hopefully, a distorted groan of pain. The squelch of his wounds, and the blood he continues to seep, does little for the appetite.
  1762. (Allende)
  1763. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1764.  
  1765. [21:40] Alex Monolyn says, "Take it easy."

  1771.  
  1772. [21:42] Sirocco says, "It may be best to oblige."
  1773. [21:43] Sors takes the kit from Chroma, apathetically looking the red head over. Grey and gold look at the freezing black tar left on his eye. It looked like there was a horrid shattering of it, only a black mess left in way of the eye.
  1774.  
  1775. "Huh. Rite, rite. Hold still."
  1776.  
  1777. A couple of skeletons have already returned form the inside of the Dawn's resurance. Rats are brought out, and Sors is quick to reach over. It takes only a moment and the single squeal of a rat before Sors plucks out the eye of the creature. Taking out some alchol, he rubs it over the eye, cleaning it before using occultism on the rest of the rat. It's skin would start to rot, and it sceamed out in pain before Ultovex turned to face Chroma again.
  1778.  
  1779. The occultism had stolen life and flesh from the rat. Now it generated it anew. Purple scarred flesh began to appear in Chroma's eyesocket, painfully being formed. It would be the sensation of being stabbed over and over before Ultovex brings the rat's eye to Chroma's body. The occultism connects one to the other. Although it wasn't a human body part, it would work.
  1780.  
  1781. With the mithril kit? He turns it to threads. Deftly, he takes a suture, stabbing it into Chroma's face and starting to ensure that the flesh surrounding the newly implanted eye would stay stable. Once he was finished with this final task, he took a step back.
  1782.  
  1783. "There. See if ya can see."

  1806. [21:45] Anna exclaims, "One by one!"

  1813. [21:46] Shizuko Megumi says, "If you're injured you can keep that one. I won't deny you a pain reliever."
  1814. [21:46] Ethan Hawke asks, "What are those?"
  1815. [21:47] Xaedhyn says, "sorry, I don't. Wasn't injured. Pretty new to this."
  1816. [21:47] Anna exclaims, "I dunno!"
  1817. [21:47] Shizuko Megumi says, "Okay, I left out pain relievers for the injured."
  1818. [21:47] Anna exclaims, "People say they're powerful things that can do anything!"
  1819. [21:47] Shizuko Megumi says, "I don't take any offense since you complied."
  1820. [21:48] Xaedhyn says, "I have a friend who is injured who got me into this"
  1821. [21:48] Ethan Hawke asks, "Why would you eat them, then?"
  1822. [21:48] Sophia follows Alastor. "M'lord, allow me to take care of this one with Sir Sors. You're certainly needed all over the city. You are the commander, and I am just a medic. I can make sure he is well taken care of."
  1823.  
  1824. She pulls what's left of her anticeptic solution and gauze from her kit, ready to get to work once the man was laid down for her to do so.
  1825. (Sophia Song)
  1826. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1827.  
  1828. [21:48] Shizuko Megumi says, "Then you're free to take that to him."
  1829. [21:48] Anna exclaims, "I don't eat them!"
  1830. [21:48] Sirocco asks, "What is your friend's name?"
  1831. [21:48] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth asks, "...Fox, can you manage to explain..what..attacked us?"
  1832. [21:48] Xaedhyn exclaims, "thanks!"
  1833. [21:48] Sors Ultovex says, "Nethradin."
  1834. [21:48] Shizuko Megumi says, "You're welcome, i'm just glad they're getting use instead of just being sold away."
  1835. [21:48] Sitting there and watching Sors work his expertly masterful magic, the Spellblade would raise a skeptical eyebrow at first looking to the entire operation, about to say something before the flesh was rubbed into his oozing eye-socket.
  1836.  
  1837. Feeling a searing pain he'd bare his teeth without so much as a sound, however after the event, he'd put a hand over his eye, slowly peering was a narrowed icy blue hue, similar to that of a risen undead, yet still filled with vigor.
  1838.  
  1839. Blinking a few times, his eye would get a bit lost in the initial intervals, looing south as he looked north, and then it'd fix itself after he shook his head. An eery iris glaring in the night of Dawn along side his natural maroon, with a fresh and badassed scar reaching from the side of his neck to it's lid.
  1840.  
  1841. "Mnh…..not bad.."
  1842. (Chroma Zanders)
  1843. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1844.  
  1845. [21:48] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth asks, "Okay, why...are their nethandrin here?"
  1846. [21:48] Xaedhyn says, "Yea, not here to basically steal xd"
  1847. [21:48] Sors Ultovex says, "Works, ya. Good 'nough."
  1848. [21:48] Alastor adjusts his own glass for a moment. Slowly, he glances towards Sophia, before looking at the ground down below. "I'm not putting him down on the grass. At least on the bench." The Eternal spoke, still moving with the man to a nearby bench.
  1849.  
  1850. Probably not the most comfortable spto to rest, but alas. It should probably be good enough.
  1851. (Alastor G. Vishkar)
  1852. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1853.  
  1854. [21:48] Shizuko Megumi says, "Anyone else here need a lax essence? I'd offer more if I could."
  1855. [21:49] Shizuko Megumi says, "Free for the injured."
  1856. [21:49] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "xd"
  1857. [21:49] Chroma Zanders says, "My thanks Sors, you saved me there, too."
  1858. [21:49] Anna asks, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
  1859. [21:49] Xaedhyn says, "xd"
  1860. [21:49] Chroma Zanders says, "Take what coin I have."
  1861. [21:49] Ethan Hawke asks, "Do you wanna stop trying to eat me and be friends instead?"
  1862. [21:49] Sors Ultovex says, "It's mor' useful ta have less injured, ya."
  1863. [21:49] Anna asks, "Why can't I be your friend and want to eat you?"
  1864. [21:50] Chroma Zanders says, "I'd hope so, Behe. I owe you a drink sometime. For sure."
  1865. [21:50] Shizuko Megumi says, "Alastor, could you use a store of lax essence? I'd prefer it not to be sold but rather used."
  1866. [21:50] Anna exclaims, "I want to eat all my friends!"
  1867. [21:50] Ethan Hawke says, "Because we won't be friend anymore if you eat me."
  1868. [21:50] Anna exclaims, "Some less than others!"
  1869. [21:50] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "I don't think so."
  1870. [21:50] Chroma pats Sors on the shoulder and gives him a thumbs up
  1871. (Chroma Zanders)
  1872. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1873.  
  1874. [21:50] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Also."
  1875. [21:50] Alastor G. Vishkar says, "Anna."
  1876. [21:50] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Are you sure?"
  1877. [21:50] Anna asks, "What?"
  1878. [21:51] Allende says, "Hrgghh... *gurgle*"
  1879. [21:51] Alastor G. Vishkar asks, "Are you sure you want to eat people?"
  1880. [21:51] Sophia Song whispers: (can you give me your injury description?)
  1881. [21:51] Anna says, "Uhh."
  1882. [21:51] Anna exclaims, "I was joking, yup!"
  1883. [21:51] Anna exclaims, "Joking!"
  1884. [21:51] Sophia Song whispers: (i have what you posted already.)
  1885. [21:51] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "Oh!"
  1886. [21:51] Ethan Hawke says, "..."
  1887. [21:51] {Item} You picked up Mythril Trauma Kit. Dropped by Alastor G. Vishkar. .
  1888. [21:51] Ethan Hawke asks, "So does that make us friends?"
  1889. [21:52] Anna asks, "W-why do you ask Mr. Eternal?"
  1890. [21:53] Cassidy follows around Sors, helping him where she can.
  1891. (Cassidy Invidia)
  1892. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1893.  
  1894. [21:54] Shizuko Megumi says, "Wellp, time to head home. Seems i've done all I can."
  1895. [21:54] Shizuko Megumi exclaims, "See ya everyone!"
  1896. [21:54] Anna exclaims, "Bye!"
  1897. [21:54] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "Later Miss Shizuko!"
  1898. [21:54] The boy felt a bit strange, what now.
  1899.  
  1900. The whole ordeal had passed and by some grace he was fine. So what now.
  1901. (Agem Geodipt)
  1902. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1903.  
  1904. [21:54] Allende whispers: (Oh, sure thing)
  1905. [21:55] Allende whispers: (Whoops, never mind, just saw you got it.)
  1906. [21:57] Sophia Song whispers: (oh i wanted the description the DM gave you.)
  1907. [21:57] Sophia Song whispers: (is it just deep cuts and hunks cut out of your body?)
  1908. [21:57] Sophia Song whispers: (and a perm?)
  1909. [22:00] Allende whispers: ( A terrible blow of occultic winds had slashed across Allende's body, perhpas more worryingly, into his veins. He'd bleed like any man, the wounds cursed, refusing to heal. The bleeding could be slowed, perhaps stopped with prosthetic aid, but until then... Allende was left permanently bloodied.)
  1910. [22:00] Allende whispers: (Perm, yeah.)
  1911. [22:00] Ethan Hawke says, "So- uh. Anna."
  1912. [22:00] Zendrick Boreale says, "Ol` Rat-eye Chroma."
  1913. [22:00] Ethan stepped closer.
  1914. (Ethan Hawke)
  1915. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1916.  
  1917. [22:00] Ethan Hawke asks, "Are we friends now?"
  1918. [22:00] Anna asks, "Why not?"
  1919. [22:00] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "Alright!"
  1920. [22:00] Ethan Hawke exclaims, "I'll catch you later!"
  1921. [22:01] The boy turned around, moving to leave!!!11
  1922. (Ethan Hawke)
  1923. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1924.  
  1925. [22:02] Anna exclaims, "Okay, bye!"
  1926. [22:03] Vinny Yoxohl of Loranth says, "..."
  1927. [22:04] Aldrah whispers something.
  1928. [22:04] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1929. [22:05] Aldrah whispers something.
  1930. [22:06] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1931. [22:06] Aldrah whispers something.
  1932. [22:06] Sors Ultovex whispers something.
  1933. [22:06] Aldrah whispers something.
  1934. [22:06] Aldrah whispers something.
  1935. [22:08] Sophia helped the tar covered man lay back on the bench comfortably and turned her attention to his deepest wounds that appeared to still be bleeding. She shook her head and set her gauze back in her kit. Pulling out her clean dagger, she scrapped as much of the tar and dried blood away first.
  1936.  
  1937. Once that was done, she stabbed the dagger into the wood of the bench next to his head, then picked up the solution. She doused his deep wounds and the hunks missing from his body with the fluid. When the bottle was out, she pulled out another and emptied it as well. The iodine and wouldn’t burn much more than the pain her already felt, and the stains were certainly no concern given all the blood.
  1938.  
  1939. Using gauze, she dabbed at and wiped away all of the tar and old blood inside the wounds. Looking up in his eyes, she smiled and said, ”We did well out there tonight, ya know. Many died, but many more will go one because we were brave and strong.”
  1940.  
  1941. “This is going to take a while. Don’t fall asleep on me.” She turned her attention back to the wounds. The worst of them were going to need reconstruction for him to maintain full mobility. They would never fully heal, but if she did what she had learned correctly, nobody would be able to tell he was injured so long as he kept the scars and mythril materials covered.
  1942.  
  1943. Sophia pulled a dark box closer to her knees and flipped it open. She pulled out tools, forceps, clamps, scalpels, scissors, needles, and mythril threads. She arrayed them on top of the lid and started to go to work. She cut at good and bad flesh to smooth the edges of the gashes and to discard bits of tendon and muscle that would have no use. She used a needle to weave mythril threads to replace old connections between them and close circuits. As she pulled them tight, the wounds closed slightly. Soon, he would be able to use them again.
  1944.  
  1945. She created a weave pattern with the thread to cover his wound in a mesh, then charged the entire collection with her rieka much like she would her weapons. As the mythril glowed green, she whispered a spell and crystal clear water flowed from her hands, mixing with the flames of Azrael’s gift. They stimulated regrowth, his muscles attaching to the mythril like it were its own fibers and his skin grafting over the mesh to cover the wounds entirely.
  1946.  
  1947. When she were finished, she wiped her brow and put the tools away. They would need to be cleaned. ”You’re going to need to rest a while, soldier. But, after the soreness and pain starts to fade, you should be able to move about without issue. Glory to Azrael.”
  1948.  
  1949. (Sophia Song)
  1950. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1951.  
  1952. [22:08] {Item} You drop Mythril Trauma Kit.
  1953. [22:08] Zendrick Boreale asks, "Sirocco, how did your exploring go?"
  1954. [22:11] Agem Geodipt says, "Hmm. What to do now..."
  1955. [22:15] Anna asks, "Jessi, you're a girl?"
  1956. [22:17] Renegin snapped awake from the nap he had been having on the bench, a right good snooze after a long and arduous battle. He looked to his right, nothing particularly of interest. His head swiveled slowly, tensely as he was still sore from the battle. His eyes caught glimpse of a man being treated upon, extensive wounds covering him. He felt sorry for the guy, showering him with a look of pity before he inspected the operators.
  1957.  
  1958. He knew one but not the other, the girl with red hair a mystery to him but the man he recognized to be a Paladin of great stature. He scooted over a bit to provide some extra room, scratching his beard awkwardly as he was still half asleep.
  1959.  
  1960. "Augh...Demons got him eh? Well if he is getting treated by you two he'll pull through."
  1961.  
  1962. He took a deep breath, re orienting himself on the bench so he could silently watch from the background.
  1963.  
  1964.  
  1965. (Renegin Billard)
  1966. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1967.  
  1968. [22:17] Zariel whispers something.
  1969. [22:21] The flow of blood from the body was something that would never stop even after the laceration was tended to. Even so, grey and gold remained on the sideline, watching as the other of the legion began her work at tending to the laceration. It was almost like a test, watching her work at scraping away tar and blood, cleaning the wounds and creating a weaving pattern to cover the flesh. He didn't comment, merely watching it happen as the undead fetched new cages of rats.
  1970.  
  1971. She had finished when he moved in to take a deeper look. His eyes scan over the injuries, initially prepared to tear it appart and start over if it was done incorrectly. It was done well. He seemed to hold surprise in his gaze, merely turning away. Occultism turned into needles, stabbing into the bodies of the rats before he turned and again faced the injured.
  1972.  
  1973. Around the muscles that the mithril covered, an extra layer of skin would begin to grow, swallowing it and ensure that it would not easily falloff. The procedure had been done well enough, but he ensured that the final pieces of mishappen flesh were there as a precation.
  1974.  
  1975. "Tha'll work."
  1976. (Sors Ultovex)
  1977. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1978.  
  1979. [22:21] Anna exclaims, "Roanna!"
  1980. [22:22] Vanika Fyne says, "A kaiju attack."
  1981. [22:23] Vanika Fyne says, "Malentine's portal let loose a massive array of monstrosities."
  1982. [22:23] Vanika Fyne says, "They chose to come to Dawn to die."
  1983. [22:23] Vanika Fyne says, "Nobody of any import died."
  1984. [22:24] Agem Geodipt says, "Nobody died in general."
  1985. [22:24] Vanika Fyne says, "I'm sure a few soldiers or non-magi have perished."
  1986. [22:25] Sophia looked up to Sors and nodded. She rose and smiled. "Thank you, sir?"
  1987. (Sophia Song)
  1988. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  1989.  
  1990. [22:25] Agem Geodipt says, "I was speaking specifically about those in the battle."
  1991. [22:26] Agem Geodipt says, "My bad."
  1992. [22:28] Agem Geodipt says, "Oops, honestly wasn't paying to much attention."
  1993. [22:29] Allende was only dimly aware of the fact he was moving, the surly threads of consciousness an illusive creature, like grasping at a breeze. The Eternal was gone from his sight, and so he found a new anchor, the sight of Song. The sliver of his eye that was visible past the swollen flesh, glassy and distant, drifted to her when she entered his field of view, and begun the grim task of treating him.
  1994.  
  1995. But he had not yet reached a state of utter numbness, and for that, Allende cursed his fortitude. He sloughed tainted flesh like fat, the cleansing of his wounds only revealing further course for concern. All he could count himself aware of was the dim sense of torque and pressure, pain a foreign concept by now.
  1996.  
  1997. Perhaps he had been similarly aware of what was said, to some level. He laughed- Or rather, sputtered blood with some grim humor at something she must've said.
  1998.  
  1999. The errant twitch of muscle was easily stifled, as he was far too weak of body now to appropriately resist. The surgical mesh of mithril salvages the major arteries of his mana circuits, and he'd perhaps live to function as a magi, still. In his half-waking, half-dreaming state, the touch of Rieka- Of Azrael -made his muscle tense in response, a pale fist clenching bone-white before he eased.
  2000.  
  2001. Throughout the operation, Allende's good eye had lazed the way of Song, expressionless and drained. It was a wonder if he could hear her again, the first time miraculous enough, given the blood loss. The rat skin came, and Allende's eye dizzily went the way of a desaturated grey and gold, but any thoughts he had would have to wait and see whether he could remember this much.
  2002.  
  2003. His eye wandered again, up. The glassy look remained fixated on the cloying, darkened skies, fingers unconsciously drawing a fistful of cloth at his chest, some kind of red scarf. Allende was breathing, if shallowly. He might've thanked them, were he capable.
  2004. (Allende)
  2005. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2006.  
  2007. [22:34] Sophia says, "He'll be fine..." as she pats his cheek. She nods at Sors and then turns to go into the city, helping more of the injured soldiers and civilians of Dawn.
  2008. (Sophia Song)
  2009. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2010.  
  2011. [22:35] Allende is patted. He groans drunkenly in response.
  2012. (Allende)
  2013. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2014.  
  2015. [22:35] Sors Ultovex says, "He'll live, ya."
  2016. [22:35] Renegin Billard says, "Now...thats one damn miracle of a procedure. If I were, I'd go get drunk then sleep...though I doubt the tavern up on the hill is still standing."
  2017. [22:47] Astaria Rosenkreuz says, "Good evening, sweetie."
  2018. [22:54] Sophia Song whispers: (oh hey will be slow, RPing on Tsu. Been on Sophia all night.)
  2019. [23:06] Sophia looked up to the statue's face, a closed right fight held over her heart against her dented and tar covered chestplate. She whispers a prayer to Azrael, Astaria only catching the end of it as she nears; "-ank you for my sister. Thank you for Yong. Glory to you, Lord Azrael. Hail, Hail, Hail."
  2020.  
  2021. She closes her eyes and sighs, then turns and openes her bright green eyes to look at the voice. Seeing Astaria, she nods respectfully, then turns to face her. "Hello. Part of the city is in ruins and many fell, but today we all brought glory to Dawn. To Azrael."
  2022.  
  2023. Sophia was covered in tar. Her cloak stained and her armor dented and scarred. She had a medical kit on her belt over her dagger, mostly empty from all of the work she had done on the wounded. All of her weapons were dirty, covered in blood, tar, and bits of cooled magma. Despite her condition, she seemed to have no injuries and was in high spirits.
  2024. (Sophia Song)
  2025. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2026.  
  2027. [23:10] Noah says, "Hi"
  2028. [23:10] Compared to most, Astaria's clothing and general condition were surprisingly well maintained- likely because she wasn't in the battle against the nethradin in the first place. Her hands kept tugged within her gray mantle, her face moisturized and with heavy makeup over the cracks that appear throughout her skin; her eyes had a soft glow of blue as she turned them towards Sophia, the same blue eyes that were known to be on Azrael's own undead. And Arthur Rowan's, now.
  2029.  
  2030. "So I've seen" she speaks with her soft, smooth voice, a slight, barely perceptible tug at the corner of her lips. "Good to see you helping them out."
  2031.  
  2032. A small pause was made as she noticed Roanna just over the fort; the undead neries curved her head slightly to Sophia in acknowledgement.
  2033.  
  2034. "I'll leave you to your prayers, sweetie."
  2035.  
  2036. At that, the woman turned around, walking over Roanna to stand beside her, her eyes trailing over the two gathered children to silently stare at them, curious.
  2037. (Astaria Rosenkreuz)
