[20:54] * @Storyteller is looking for the log and then we'll start
[20:55] [Storyteller] oh for the days when I didn't have a trail of names and hints half a mile long....
[20:55] * @Storyteller doesn't even remember them anymore! well i'll end it now!
[20:56] * Chibi-Fiat is now known as Jynaru
[20:56] [Jynaru] Are we-reiterating cicadoom, or should I cutnpaste?
[20:57] * Mayumi is now known as Cicada
[20:57] [Storyteller] reiterating
[20:58] [Storyteller] Allright... the generals have just left for their own legions...
[20:59] * Vanal isn't too sad that they're gonr
[20:59] [Storyteller] and you are preparing to breach the first line of defenses
[20:59] [Cicada] (uhh... what did I say again...?)
[20:59] [Storyteller] which is basically a giant, mortal wall....
[20:59] [Storyteller] [hold on then....]
[20:59] [Jynaru] There is a normal wall, that I shall be breaking into tiny little shards soon enough.
[21:00] [Cicada] (is a little afraid I cannot do same level of drama while being this tired)
[21:01] [Storyteller] allright... i'll just cut and paste it....
[21:01] * Cicada is staring at the wall, contemplating the fluttering banners on it.
[21:02] [Jynaru] (You think this sort of drama needs coherency? It's built on the foundation of the shock of the matter.)
[21:03] * Playing 'play.txt' to #pvpexaltedrp with 2500ms delay
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada is silently contemplating the wall and the fluttering banners on it.
[21:03] * Joins: Etrangere (della@ip-199.net-80-236-33.suresnes.rev.numericable.fr)
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Jynaru places a hand on her shoulder. "This won't be so bad... and then it will be over."
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada shudders, thne places her hand over his. "Thank you Jynaru, thank you for everything."
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada rests her head on his shoulder.
[21:03] * Joins: LeumasWhite (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz)
[21:03] [Storyteller] [Cicada] "I love you. You know that, don't you?"
[21:03] [Storyteller] [Cicada] "Sorry, I just had to say it... before... before..."
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada sighs and straighten up again.
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Jynaru shakes his head. "There'll be an after. And maybe then I'll be able to say something in return without tripping over my own tongue."
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada turns to look into Jynaru's eyes with her own deep crimson orbs, imploring him. "Yes, Jynaru. There will. I promise it. Remember that, I promise it. You better promise too."
[21:03] [Storyteller] [Cicada] "Now, can you step a few meters away, please?"
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Jynaru does so. Apparently his legs still work.
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada suddenly springs into motion, gestulating and forming iceblue arcane sigils around her, her voice thundering with an incarnation of power.
[21:03] [Storyteller] * Cicada is lifted from her saddle by a sudden torrent of wind and without any pause sppeds towards the wall surrounded by its torrents.
[21:03] [Storyteller] [Jynaru] Gah!
[21:03] * Playback of 'play.txt' complete
[21:04] [Vanal] (For the record...Vanal called it)
[21:04] [Storyteller] Cicada is out of sight in a few moments....
[21:04] [Storyteller] everyone too stunned to know what to do next...
[21:05] [Vanal] "*Bugger*"
[21:05] * Tabius always knew there was a reason for House Cathak to send her to the Heptagram with me.
[21:06] * Jynaru digs around for a smoke. "She said... and then... the wall... and the spell....... and the STUPID BITCH!"
[21:06] * Vanal offers Jyn one
[21:07] [Vanal] "That girl just isn't right."
[21:07] * Vanal lights up his own cigarette
[21:07] * Jynaru grabs it, attempting to ignite it by sheer force of will. It smolders, but he finally resorts to a match.
[21:08] [Jynaru] "That girl is entirely too manipulative for her own good. She's so good at it I feel bad for complaining!"
[21:08] * Tabius sits astride his horse reflecting a bronze hue, no one sees the single tear running down the other side of his face.
[21:08] * Vanal shrugs
[21:09] [Vanal] "So we break the walls down and get her back."
[21:09] * Joins: Werlynn (~Werlynn@ool-182dcdb4.dyn.optonline.net)
[21:09] * Werlynn is now known as Tala
[21:09] * Jynaru nods, cracking his knuckles. "So, when do I get to start killing some folk?"
[21:09] [Tabius] "Well as soon as the warstrider is powered up, wont the walls come tumbling down?"
[21:09] [Storyteller] hey werly
[21:10] [Jynaru] "Who needs 'striders for that?"
[21:10] [Vanal] "Unless they've got artillery."
[21:10] [Jynaru] "Walls don't dodge."
[21:10] [Vanal] "I dunno about you, but I don't want a flaming ball of burning oil smashing into my head."
[21:10] [Jynaru] "They didn't shoot down Cicada. Are they going to bother one lone Dynast?"
[21:11] [Vanal] "I'm SO going to smack some sense in that girl when we find her."
[21:11] [Vanal] "Considering I'm gonna be 15-feet tall, running at full speed clutching a sword the size of a tree."
[21:11] [Vanal] "I'd say...YEAH."
[21:12] [Jynaru] "As I said, who needs striders? I hit hard. I hit things until things get out of the way."
[21:12] [Vanal] "Then hit it."
[21:12] * Jynaru scans over. "Soon as you're in the Strider."
[21:13] * Quits: Etrangere (della@ip-199.net-80-236-33.suresnes.rev.numericable.fr) (Quit: "The night is dark and full of terrors." - Melisandre)
[21:13] * Jynaru takes the time, assuming Tiger form! relentless fury of the beast! Angry predator Frenzy! and 5d blocking just for fun.
[21:14] [Storyteller] a cold breeze blows from the south.....
[21:14] * Vanal cues up his appropriate scene-lengths
[21:14] * Jynaru starts the slooow stroll over to the walls, senses cued for any archers taking potshots.
[21:15] [Vanal] (gyah...misplacec char sheet...2 minutes)
[21:16] [Jynaru] Are any of them stupid enough to waste arrows on pissing me off further?
[21:16] [Storyteller] they are watching the army.
[21:17] [Storyteller] none of them are wasting their arrows on you, though a few have you in their sights.
[21:17] * Jynaru stops, carefully working the arrow out of the walls and stepping back, framing the wall in his vision.
[21:19] [Storyteller] A few of the archers step away from those who have you in their sights
[21:20] * Vanal observes Jyn carefully and he hauls himself up to cockpit of his warstrider
[21:20] * Retrieving #pvpexaltedrp info...
[21:20] [Vanal] *to the
[21:20] * Vanal straps in and does the usual pre-test
[21:21] * Jynaru rears back, essence slowly coiling around him to his mind as he slams forward, ripping through the stone in violent sweeps of his arms and feet, shards flying as the dull thuds of impact come closer and closer together, setting the wall into a sympathetic vibration, moaning across the battlefield in low, uneasy tones. His anima rises with a slow, langorous stance, following behind his
[21:21] * Jynaru strikes in spikes of green fire, a hundred, a thousand times as it blurs, stripes and spikes and the monstrous groan of the wall almost exploding eclipsed by the earth-shaking roar. Jyn smiles as the wall collapses in a slow ripple along the outside, looming out of the dust untouched.
[21:21] [Storyteller] the warstrider seems to be in working order, Vanal.....
[21:21] [Jynaru] Ye olde single target glorious carnage typhoon that needs a good name.
[21:23] [Storyteller] Jynaru, as you leap towards the wall to attack, you are distracted by the golden light eminating from one of the archers on the wall.... the arrow writhes with essence, leaving a trail of blood behind it as it streaks towards you, like a game of chicken....
[21:24] [Vanal] "Okay Eleanor, Shak...this is it."
[21:24] [Jynaru] hrmph. I have upgraded windhands, I have entirely too many dice, and I have hulk smashes going on.
[21:25] [Storyteller] a half dozen other arrows stream towards jynaru with excellent acuraccy, but not of exalted caliber
[21:25] [Vanal] "We are some badass motherfuckers...let's show 'em just what it means to fuck with the Realm."
[21:25] * Vanal cracks his neck from side to side, working out the kink...Eleanor apes the motion
[21:26] [Storyteller] allright...
[21:26] [Storyteller] Arrow will hit you before you hit the wall, and then you'll tear the wall down.
[21:26] [Jynaru] Heh... it's AWD?
[21:26] [Jynaru] I have..... *count* 24 dice before stunt.
[21:28] [Storyteller] we'll assume the mortal arrows get parried, and she's not wasting anything on excellent strike, after last time.
[21:28] * Quits: LeumasWhite (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz) (gryphon.magicstar.net linuxguy.magicstar.net)
[21:28] * Joins: LeumasWhite (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz)
[21:29] [Storyteller] AWD + Firey Arrow + Dazzling Flare atk with a target arrow.
[21:29] [Storyteller] what's your lethal soak?
[21:30] [Jynaru] After the half, 6.
[21:30] [Jynaru] I'll buy up some 5d fort.
[21:31] [Storyteller] if I'm reading this right, that means that she does 15L after soak
[21:31] [Jynaru] Painful. Quick question... can I sympathetically break her arm when I break her arrow? ^_^
[21:31] [Tala] only half the armor, iirc
[21:31] [Storyteller] nah, she's far far away :)
[21:32] [Jynaru] slap that out of my way.
[21:32] [Jynaru] God, 1 WP left...
[21:32] [Jynaru] this is going to be UGLY.
[21:33] [Jynaru] (perfect parry, break arrow into little tiny half-toothpicks with no arm to shatter.)
[21:34] * Quits: LeumasWhite (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz) (gryphon.magicstar.net linuxguy.magicstar.net)
[21:34] [Storyteller] allright, she jumps back off the wall... the others arrows fal harmlessly around you
[21:34] [Storyteller] As Jynaru's strikes rattle the wall, catapaults and archers from behind it open fire onto the army... those on the walls are hurled to the ground, as the 300-yard section crumbles and falls on top of them, crushing them instantly...
[21:36] * Vanal raises his sword high
[21:36] [Vanal] "DRACONIS VICTOR !"
[21:37] * Vanal 's balde catches the light of the sun as he brings it down...summoning the army to charge
[21:37] * Jynaru picks his path through the rubble, hunting down the BITCH who shot that arrow at him.
[21:37] * Joins: Lilaryn (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz)
[21:38] * Lilaryn is now known as LeumasWhite
[21:38] [Storyteller] The army behind the wall holds it's position, as you can still be held off at this bottleneck... arrows rain from the sky as the night caste looks at Jynaru with half a smile on her face, the swordsmen holding their position behind her as they stare at the army that is charging them with a determined glare.... women and children interperse the trained men, all armed and armed with a quality
[21:38] [Storyteller] that rivals the Realm's own, and as the two sides begin to join in combat it is clear that their training is every bit as good as well...
[21:39] [Storyteller] [Rapunzel] "Are you going to fight me, Jynaru, or are you just going to stand there looking silly?"
[21:40] [Storyteller] her anima banner hasn't even begun to show...
[21:40] * Vanal charges the wall...bringing the massive sword across it...smashing another massive hole in it and sending massive shards of stone and rubble sailing into the enemy lines
[21:40] [Storyteller] Vanal, give me a presence + charisma roll or something similar to represent your command of your troops, +1 stunt
[21:41] [Storyteller] you're going around the anathema?
[21:42] * Tabius is in among the troops about 200 yards behind the font lines waiting to counterspell things coming its way.
[21:42] [Vanal] !ex 9
[21:42] [Storyteller] Vanal (9), 3, 9, 4, 10, 1, 2, 3, 10, 2, Successes : 5
[21:42] [Storyteller] nice Vanal.
[21:43] [Storyteller] Tabius there doesn't seem to be any sorcerers here...
[21:43] [Vanal] love those 10s
[21:43] * Jynaru explodes into motion (go faster ath charm), clearing a path in the rubble with the sheer kinetic force of his charge, leaping skywards and arcing a heel kick at her, feinting as he traps the bow beneath the knee of his other leg, pumping 6 venom-dripping arrows into her bodyand rolling back from the toppling corpse, snarling a he brings her head back with him, casting it disdainfully into
[21:43] * Jynaru the dirt with a snarl.
[21:43] [Storyteller] besides the anathema of course.
[21:43] [Storyteller] the only one you've seen so far here being the night who is occupied with Jynaru.
[21:44] [Storyteller] how many attacks jynaru?
[21:44] [Jynaru] 6!
[21:44] [Jynaru] Let's see what she's got.
[21:45] [Jynaru] (Would appreciate stunt bonus to know how much to roll and how many WP I can recover...)
[21:45] [Storyteller] (She knows how bad you are... perfect defenses across the board)
[21:46] [Jynaru] (SSE or HGD?)
[21:46] [Storyteller] (both)
[21:47] [Storyteller] allright.... she stands perfectly still as you approach her... and then as you strike, she hardly seems to move at all... Two of your arrows pass through her as if she was never there, and the rest of your strikes deflecting off her glistening powerbow.... She leaps into the air and backwards, the same combo as before fluttering around her as the same blood-streaked arrow flies at you from above
[21:48] [Storyteller] 15L again
[21:48] [Jynaru] reflex counter, stunting the motion and armbreaking parry.
[21:49] [Storyteller] hm, lets see it...
[21:50] [Storyteller] Vanal, you break through the wall without much difficulty, although those around you are not so lucky.... you manage to gain a foothold within the walls, and your troops fight to defend it while you expand the gap...
[21:50] * Parts: LeumasWhite (LeumasWhit@210-55-150-137.dialup.xtra.co.nz)
[21:51] [Storyteller] Meanwhile the rest of the legion attempts to swarm through the gap that Jynaru made.... as people being to fall, black sparks leap around the ground, quickly fading away...
[21:51] * Jynaru launches his last arrow, using the flash of light released by the essence wrapped around the arrowhead to isolate the incoming strike, launching himself towards it and snagging it out of the air, rising up above her and stopping for a heartwrenching moment as he fires it back at her, stooping down and kicking off the flying arrows above him as he launches down to her in a trail of
[21:51] * Jynaru flame, catching the arrow as it passes through her and spinning it around in his grasp, slamming it deep into her shoulder and snapping it sideways, palm reaching out and riding her down into the ground, slapping her in the face as he vaults backwards.
[21:51] [Storyteller] in the distance, where Bloom's final castle lies, you see a pillar of blue light reaching towards the heavens.. it is faint now, but it very slowly increases with brightness.
[21:52] * Vanal roars in defiance as he sweeps his blade across the enemy ranks, sending entire sacles flying through the air screaming, acting as a single man talon of shock troops, methodically carving his way though the bulk of the enmy ranks, pushing ever more closely towards bloom's tower
[21:54] [Vanal] *sclaes
[21:54] [Vanal] *scales
[21:56] [Storyteller] She grits her teeth with pain as you feel the joint in her shoulder break under the force of the arrow... a moment after you slap her in the face you feel a burning in your chest, her foot kicking you full in the chest.... and then she is gone arm hanging limply along her chest, running through the armies like a rabbit through tall reeds.
[21:58] * Vanal sends another sacle careening through the sky, splattering messily onto their oncomign ranks...
[21:58] [Storyteller] Vanal's men slowly are making headway, though, as Bloom's troops, despite being speckled here and there with strange men of metal and women with the bodies and minds of animals, cannot hold up against the Exalted might of the Terrestrials....
[21:59] [Jynaru] Chase her down!
[21:59] [Storyteller] dex + Ath and per + Awe, jynaru
[21:59] [Jynaru] Anathema heal too quickly to let one go.
[21:59] * Tabius spurs his horse further towards the front surrounded by his Eyeless Minions.
[21:59] [Storyteller] Storyteller (8), 6, 3, 4, 6, 2, 3, 9, 1, Successes : 6
[21:59] [Storyteller] !ex 8 +5
[21:59] [Vanal] "COME ON !"
[21:59] [Storyteller] Storyteller (7), 6, 3, 5, 4, 3, 2, 7, Successes : 6
[21:59] [Storyteller] !ex 7 +5
[21:59] [Jynaru] !ex 18 +wp
[21:59] [Storyteller] Jynaru (18), 3, 9, 10, 8, 5, 6, 3, 6, 2, 9, 8, 1, 9, 7, 9, 1, 6, 9, Successes : 11
[21:59] [Vanal] "I'VE GOT ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY !"
[22:00] [Jynaru] !ex 10 (awe)
[22:00] [Storyteller] Jynaru (10), 4, 8, 2, 2, 6, 3, 10, 10, 5, 5, Successes : 5
[22:00] [Jynaru] Awwww....
[22:01] [Storyteller] Jynaru, you almost catch up to her.... but she does not seem inclined to let you follow.. she spins and turns in the midst of the army and is gone..... all you can see is soldiers running every which way
[22:02] * Jynaru roars out his frustration at being denied the kill. "WHO'S NEXT?!"
[22:02] [Storyteller] apparently a whole lot of mortals
[22:02] [Storyteller] a few minutes later you see an anima banner reappear in the distance, but it is too far to persue.
[22:03] * Vanal roars and sends another Talon's worth of troops to go meet Mela, then Pasiap...up-close and personal
[22:04] [Jynaru] Bah. Cut my way to Vanal.
[22:04] [Jynaru] I might as well use his height advantage for some arrowing.
[22:04] [Storyteller] ok, all the armies have broke through the walls, and Bloom's troops are being pushed back towards his castle.... despite their skill, they are still nothing against exalted might, and for every mortal that they kill, 5 of them fall to a terrestrial
[22:06] * Vanal tears more troops asunder, cutting a bloody swatch through the foe, and trampling any fools who don't run and manage to avoid the sword
[22:07] [Storyteller] the brotherhood draws back for a moment while the troops are still fighting, to discuss the next stage of assualt.... Vanal's warstrider's right arm is cracked when one of the metal men's hands get stuck in the joint, and so he has to fall back or risk further damage to the war machine until it is removed
[22:08] [Vanal] "FUCK !"
[22:08] [Vanal] (it's a jade/orichalcum alloy dude...how doe sit *crack* ?)
[22:08] * Tabius expertly removes the problem and does a fast field jerry rig to get the arm in proper working order again.
[22:09] [Storyteller] (Cracking charms1)
[22:09] [Storyteller] (The analagrams get charms, unfortunately)
[22:09] [Vanal] (Ah)
[22:09] [Storyteller] (their charms are good, but there's still more terrestrials than there are of them.)
[22:10] [Storyteller] A few terrestrials have died but so far most are still doing well.
[22:10] [Vanal] "HOLD THE LINE ! KEEP PUSHING !"
[22:10] [Storyteller] So what will you do.. just drive these mortals up against the castle and call for them to surrender?
[22:10] [Vanal] Ayup[
[22:11] [Jynaru] Attack of the attack of the presence!
[22:12] [Storyteller] allright...
[22:12] [Storyteller] they are driven back... the blue spire that comes from bloom's castle seems to envope the whole thing... at the spire, you can see a woman encased in essence... all attempts at countermagic and even artifacts of the first age has failed to breach the mystical protections around her...
[22:13] [Jynaru] If it's Cicada, I'm going to kill you.
[22:13] [Storyteller] it's far more likely to be Green Snow Blossom, Bloom's twilight sorceress.
[22:13] [Storyteller] unless cicada somehow learned how to cast solar circle magic without telling me.
[22:14] [Storyteller] it is beginning to fan out, covering the sky in a massive dome.. here and there, discs float around as if ornaments dangling from a string....
[22:14] [Storyteller] but their function has not yet been activated.
[22:14] [Vanal] "This is bad."
[22:14] [Vanal] "Jyn ?"
[22:14] [Vanal] "Think you could drop part of the spire on her ?"
[22:14] [Storyteller] The army continues to hold at the gates, some few of them opened to allow them to retreat into the castle.
[22:15] [Storyteller] Jynaru.. roll per + awe
[22:15] [Jynaru] !ex 6 +wp
[22:15] [Storyteller] Jynaru (6), 10, 2, 8, 2, 1, 8, Successes : 5
[22:15] [Storyteller] one of the towers is missing...
[22:15] [Storyteller] as in literally not there.
[22:15] [Jynaru] "Why is there a missing tower?"
[22:15] [Storyteller] There should be six towers, not 5.
[22:15] [Vanal] "How the fuck should I know ?"
[22:16] * Tabius starts reeling in his mystical senses wondering what the heck is going on.
[22:16] [Vanal] "Get the combat sorcerors."
[22:16] [Storyteller] the central one that the sorceress is standing on is the tallest, but there should be another one to the left, slightly lower..
[22:16] [Tabius] !ex 12
[22:16] [Storyteller] Tabius (12), 10, 3, 3, 7, 1, 9, 9, 1, 8, 5, 2, 3, Successes : 6
[22:18] [Storyteller] the combat sorceres are here!
[22:18] [Storyteller] there will be slightly more deaths on the Realm side because of this...
[22:19] [Vanal] "Okay, I need an explanation, and I need one NOW."
[22:19] [Storyteller] you've lost about a legion in total, they've lost maybe two.
[22:19] [Storyteller] The combat sorceres discuss amongst themselves...
[22:19] [Storyteller] Tabius amongst them.
[22:20] [Vanal] "And FAST."
[22:21] * Vanal gets his forces into a semi-defensive position trying to minimize the casualites
[22:21] [Tabius] "She is creating some kind of gates...."
[22:21] [Vanal] "He's running."
[22:22] [Jynaru] "Summoning."
[22:22] [Vanal] "Aw fuck."
[22:22] [Vanal] "Look, we need to take her down. Ideas ?"
[22:22] [Storyteller] suddenly a wave of arrows erupts from a point of the walls, cutting down a whole talon in an instant.... the sky clears and then from another point, the arrows rain down on the lines...
[22:22] [Jynaru] "hit the missing tower?"
[22:22] [Jynaru] "Drop the castle into a deep, deep hole?"
[22:23] [Vanal] "FUCK !"
[22:23] [Vanal] "Okay, if we can't move her...we move what she's standing on."
[22:23] [Storyteller] this happens two more times, having mowed down half a legion, before it stops.
[22:23] [Vanal] "We bring the tower down."
[22:23] [Vanal] "NOW !"
[22:25] [Jynaru] (Don't make me hit things hard until they go boom again..... I'm tired.)
[22:25] [Storyteller] your shadows merge together as one, covering the entire ground in blackness...
[22:25] [Jynaru] (I need to save some energy for celebrating with Cicada....)
[22:25] [Storyteller] everyone stops and prayers rise to the dragons!
[22:25] [Jynaru] "Not THIS shit again..."
[22:26] [Storyteller] the castle doors slam shut!
[22:26] * Vanal scowls as he hefts the massive warstrider sword...taking in the architecture of the building in a moment, looking for the weakest, most heavily stressed point in the tower...as he hefts the sword, and smashed it into the rock, causing the tower to rumble, to shake, to creak...
[22:26] * Vanal and to collapse
[22:26] [Storyteller] eh... the tower is inside the castle
[22:27] [Vanal] .
[22:27] [Vanal] oh
[22:27] [Storyteller] you'll have to breach the castle defenses before you can directly attack the tower.
[22:27] * Vanal thought we were NEAR the castle
[22:27] [Storyteller] from the ground anyhow.
[22:27] [Vanal] err
[22:27] [Storyteller] you are.
[22:27] [Vanal] the tower
[22:27] [Jynaru] Pull the doors out.
[22:27] [Jynaru] Throw them at the tower.
[22:27] * Vanal stomps up to the doors, and with the massive strength of the massive war machine, RIPS the doors off the hinges
[22:27] [Vanal] "HEY BITCH !"
[22:27] [Vanal] "CATCH !"
[22:27] [Jynaru] I'd let you throw me, but god knows what kind of point defense systems they have...
[22:28] * Vanal whips a solid door, frisbee-style right at the sorceress
[22:28] * Tabius sends 2 minions to climb the castle walls and report about the other side.
[22:29] [Storyteller] the minions get cut down by the wall defenders, unfortunately.
[22:29] [Tabius] (*Worth an attempt*)
[22:29] [Storyteller] the door takes a whole 30 seconds to pull off... this castle wasn't built shabbily, even by first age terms.... but unfortunately the door is knocked aside by the spell's defenses just like everything else.. it falls to the ground, smashing into other towers and crushing the nextwork of building and tunnels it lands on.....
[22:30] * Vanal scowls
[22:30] [Vanal] "Aw fuck it."
[22:30] * Vanal rears back and start spunchign his way through the castle walls
[22:30] [Storyteller] the castle walls aren't botehred too much by warstrider punches...
[22:31] [Vanal] "This is new."
[22:31] [Storyteller] boiling oil covers you a few times, and magical effects scour the mortals around you, but the warstrider remains fine..
[22:31] [Storyteller] the courtyard that you opened by ripping the door off remains empty, however, of troops from both sides.
[22:31] [Vanal] "Okay, sorcerors, defence ! Now !"
[22:31] [Vanal] "EVERYBODY INTO THE POOL ! MOVE !"
[22:31] [Storyteller] (Pool?)
[22:32] [Vanal] (Figur eof speech...courtyard)
[22:32] [Storyteller] (ah)
[22:32] [Storyteller] they run in..... 
[22:32] * Tabius happily does his Sorcerer duty like all the little boys and girls around him.
[22:32] [Storyteller] "ROAAAAAAARRRR!!!!!"
[22:32] [Storyteller] a massive hand slams the mortals flat!
[22:32] [Storyteller] the hand seems to be made of metal and stone.......
[22:32] [Vanal] "What..."
[22:33] [Vanal] ...
[22:33] [Storyteller] "ROAAAAAARRRRR!"
[22:33] [Jynaru] I see a lightbulb.
[22:33] [Vanal] "Oh, I did not just fucking see that."
[22:33] * Vanal sword flickers out...
[22:33] [Jynaru] "Golem! BIIIG Golem!"
[22:33] [Storyteller] massive stomping....
[22:33] [Tabius] "What did you see Vanal?
[22:33] [Vanal] "WE'VE GOT BIG COMPANY !"
[22:33] [Vanal] "GET THE ARTY READY !"
[22:34] [Storyteller] The golem seems content to wait in the courtyard, hidden by the doors and the structure of the courtyard itself.
[22:34] [Vanal] how big is it ?
[22:34] [Storyteller] The shadows under your feet disentangle and become seperate once again... many of your troops have fallen to the ground in prayer... but some recover and raise their swords again
[22:35] [Vanal] strider-sized ?
[22:35] [Storyteller] judging the hand, it's easily three times taller than your warstrider.
[22:35] [Vanal] Aw fuck."
[22:35] [Vanal] Okay, plan A...
[22:35] [Vanal] "Jyn !"
[22:36] * Tala , who has been watching the battle with the support units, begins making her way towards the front lines
[22:36] [Vanal] "A fire arrow for artillery to target, please ?"
[22:36] * Jynaru produces one, launching it with pinpoint accuracy THROUGH the walls into the rough area of the golem, a streak of green floating out behind it.
[22:37] * Tabius takes out his new primary sword and charges past Vanal and into the Court Yard knowing that this castle is a bigger enemy than anything else as long as the t srcererss is cating.
[22:38] [Vanal] "TABVIUS ! YOU MORON !"
[22:38] [Storyteller] the golem doesn't seem bothered by Jynaru's arrow
[22:39] * Tala sets her anima blazing so that the troops can see her moving through, then changes, shifting in to the dragon from that is her legacy of D'aana'd
[22:39] * Tabius stays withing 5 yards of the wall as he goes running in waiting for the Golum to make its move.
[22:39] [Storyteller] the troops fall back from Tala in fear as he manifests...
[22:39] [Vanal] "Or...that works."
[22:39] [Storyteller] (she, still a she, dragon-she)
[22:40] [Storyteller] lets let Tabius take on the Golem first...
[22:40] [Storyteller] the massive beast stomps towards you as you enter the Courtyard, Tabius....
[22:40] [Storyteller] the golem is massive, easily 10 times your height..... it wields a massive daiklaive, and it's main body is encased in an orichalcum sheathe...
[22:40] * Tabius waits till the last second as the beast rushes at him in a charge before getting out of the way, leaving the best to ram right into
[22:41] * Tabius the side of the castle wall with its full force. Landing on top of it he plunches the sword
[22:41] * Tala had hoped seeing an elemental dragon on their side would be inspirational, oh well
[22:41] * Tabius right into the metal back plating behind the creatures neck slicing right through it as if butter.
[22:42] [Tabius] (*Plunges, not plunches hhehe)
[22:43] [Tabius] (*Is using charms out his ass as well, but heh*)
[22:44] [Storyteller] Tala make a App/Charisma + Presence roll or something similar hen.
[22:44] [Storyteller] once they see you're not trying to eat them or running blindly through them they'll be happier...
[22:45] [Storyteller] Allright tabius...
[22:45] [Storyteller] lets see you do that...
[22:45] [Storyteller] roll dodge
[22:45] * Tala rears up and roars a battlecry then charges towards the castle, burning blue water essence wreathing her blue scaled body

[22:46] * Tabius activates Safety Among Enemies to have the golum attack the enemy of the entire army, the castle wall.
[22:47] [Storyteller] The troops rally as the dragon flies over them, attacking the castle!

[22:47] [Storyteller] allright, the golem runs into the wall.....
[22:48] [Storyteller] but the wall only shakes and bends, though it is weakened.
[22:48] [Jynaru] Into the artillery that the arrow was spotting for?
[22:49] * Tabius activates Smokering Karma Strike and Falling Bonfire Combo.
[22:49] [Storyteller] if the artillery fires now it's likely to hit tabius.
[22:49] [Storyteller] so they are holding fire.

[22:53] [Tabius] (*AH)
[22:53] [Storyteller] you do.... erh... 1 HL
[22:54] [Storyteller] it has 17L soak
[22:54] [Tabius] ( Cutting straight through a metal part with a metal sucking blade that makes tower shields out of it?)
[22:54] [Storyteller] the golem looks angry........
[22:55] [Vanal] ...
[22:55] [Vanal] "TABIUS ! GET OUT OF THERE! HE'S FUCKING TARGETED !"
[22:56] [Storyteller] (Yea, i know, it's not easy to cut through stuff like this... you'll do a L for every extra sux, and he has less soak for you)
[22:56] [Tabius] (*GOOD*)
[22:56] [Storyteller] (You could chop a hole in the wall with the sword but the golem has special enhancements)
[22:56] * Tabius runs like a little bitch back out of the courtyard.
[22:57] [Tabius] (*Wall is made out of metal?*)
[22:57] [Storyteller] (just first age concrete. it doesn't soak as living.)
[22:57] [Vanal] "HIT THE FUCKER !"
[22:57] * Vanal shouts to the arty
[22:58] [Storyteller] the catapaults fire..... soon the courtyard is burning wildly...
[22:58] [Storyteller] giant rocks piled up throughout it.....
[22:58] [Storyteller] magical spells whizzing around trying to rip whatever is left apart...
[22:59] [Vanal] (why do I get the impression that did nothing ?)
[22:59] [Storyteller] and then it's silent.....

[22:59] [Cicada] (it made a large bonfire for roasting marshmellows?)
[23:00] [Storyteller] (More than that.)
[23:00] * Vanal waits for a few tense moments
[23:00] [Storyteller] the golem, if it's still alive, is smart enuogh not to keep moving.
[23:00] [Vanal] "I'll go first...Tala, you're with me."
[23:01] * Tabius starts cutting through the wall to make another breach so everybody doesn't have to go through the front door.
[23:01] * Vanal carefully walks into the courtyard
[23:01] [Storyteller] Tala is already floating above the courtyard in dragon form...
[23:01] [Jynaru] I'm riding on Vanals' shoulder, so I go where he goes.
[23:01] * Vanal carefully pokes around
[23:02] * Vanal is ready for a wampa-ish ambush, obviously
[23:03] [Storyteller] The pile where the golem is buried is obvious enuogh.....
[23:03] * Vanal reverses his blade
[23:03] [Vanal] "Jyn...you might wanna hop down."
[23:04] * Vanal rears back...and drives the blade down through the pile, skewering the golem with it...and hopefully finishing the bastard off
[23:04] [Storyteller] it's slumped against a wall, buried in rouble that goes all the way OVER it, and halway across the courtyard...
[23:04] [Storyteller] at the far end there is a massive doorway built out of solid jade...
[23:05] * Tala flies up to the tower where the sorceress is
[23:05] [Storyteller] The sorceress blinks at the dragon...
[23:05] [Storyteller] but continues her spell
[23:06] [Vanal] "Tala ! The sorceress, please !"
[23:06] [Vanal] "Err...wait."

[23:07] [Tabius] (*Heh, I spent my wad of doom and got a whole health level to :-P
[23:07] [Storyteller] the golem rises angrily out of the rubble, looking for the insect that hit it....
[23:08] [Vanal] "Aw fuck."
[23:08] [Storyteller] "ROAAAAAARRRR!!!"
[23:08] [Storyteller] it looks badly hurt though...

[23:15] [Vanal] parry, disarm, then an attack
[23:16] * Ledaal_Jynaru is now known as Jynaru
[23:16] [Storyteller] the sorceress uses HGD to block tala's attack!
[23:16] [Tala] in the middle of a spell?
[23:16] [Storyteller] its' a ritual, she cast the actual spell a long time ago
[23:17] [Storyteller] think about it, if you're summoning a demon, do you really want to not be able to use charms?
[23:17] [Storyteller] when you begin a ritual you can't use charms, but during the ritual you can.

[23:19] [Vanal] there ARE no melee rerolls
[23:19] [Jynaru] I'm on his shoulder.
[23:19] [Jynaru] Can I parry?
[23:19] [Storyteller] you said you jumped off, or vanal made you jump off, earlier.
[23:19] [Vanal] I told him to jump off

[23:21] [Jynaru] +1?

[23:29] [Jynaru] Shrug. It should be 8 dice less, but I'm taking liberties.
[23:29] [Storyteller] ?
[23:29] [Jynaru] Slice off eight if you feel bow shouldn't double.
[23:29] [Tala] how can one maintain the ritual behavior of a ritual while waving a sword?
[23:30] [Storyteller] it's a ritual, you can stop and start a ritual at times if you need to.
[23:30] [Tala] not if you want it to succeed
[23:30] * @Storyteller thinks you can. You can get interrupted during a ritual, but it just can't be too long.
[23:31] [Storyteller] if you keep her busy for a while the ritual will break down
[23:31] [Storyteller] but she can certainly take a few rounds to try and defend herself.

[23:37] [Jynaru] You CAN win init, the dice are mocking you.

[23:38] [Storyteller] Tabius hasn't cut through the wall yet.

[23:38] [Jynaru] I can help him.
[23:38] [Storyteller] so you might want to wait till the end of the turn..
[23:38] [Jynaru] Freight-train style.
[23:38] [Jynaru] (I will wait to see if I can finish the golem at the end of the turn, though.)
[23:38] [Storyteller] save your essence, speed demon!
[23:38] [Storyteller] heh

[23:41] [Storyteller] any stunt you'd like to try Tala?
[23:41] * Jynaru treats it like the avalanche from the quarry, launching himself up towards it and leaping from shin to knee to chest to elbow, rising up above the golem with a final leaping flare, flipping it off as he arcs onto it's head, leaping from there over the walls and down into the castle below.

[23:44] [Storyteller] You look at her.. and she looks at you.. obviously, this can only be one person...

[23:44] * Vanal places one massive boot on its back, rears back and RUNS that son of a bitch through with the sword, taking a moment to PULL it out with more leg power than arm power, and swinging down for a second cut, cleaving its head from its shoulders before finally raising up in a high stance and coming down in a looping, twirlign strike to cleave its torso in half as well

[23:53] [Storyteller] it is... Arrow Melting Carona, the ultimate ranged attack defense charm....
[23:53] * Vanal roars with fury and attacks the down golem again, his blade flickering in the sunlight, slicing down once...twice..and taking the big bastich's arms off at the shoulders before swooping down a third time in a picturesque arc, the bald eof the weapon erupting in flames, silhouetting the bulk of the beast against the pavement as it slashes a burning trail across its torso
[23:53] [Storyteller] any projecticle will be melted, and if you are within 3 yards you take 3L (before soak)

[23:55] [*l'Eaves*]  leaps from her building onto the wall, firey essence arcing under her feet as she rushes you, daiklaive held back behind her head...
[23:56] [Jynaru] "Oh, only the worship of Anathema? Thought so. She doesn't need to tie them down. They actually want her."
[23:56] [Vanal] (I'm also saving 2 parries)
[23:56] [Storyteller] (it's a dex + ath roll at diff 1 to stay on the wall, this is not reflexive so you must split your action to move)
[23:56] [Storyteller] (or have some kind of balance charm)
[23:56] [Jynaru] Don't want to stay on the wall.
[23:56] [Storyteller] ok
[23:57] [Jynaru] I'm going to take her to the bottom of the wall.
[23:57] [Storyteller] if you can stunt without moving then you don't have to roll the dex + ath
[23:57] [Storyteller] even though i'm sure you'd make it.

[00:00] [Vanal] I'd rather not get punked
[00:00] * Jynaru leaps out to meet her, flames of his own rising as he closes his eyes, grimly ignoring the pain of the flames as he lashes out against her, curling under the sword blade as he wraps his body around her, supremely lithe as he whirls around in the flames, clutcing the back of her head in taloned fingers as he hurls her around with the inertia, falling like a meteor to the ground, clawing
[00:00] * Jynaru and holding her eyes open as she falls, letting her see the doom that awaits her before the impact, crushing her into a once glorious bag of broken bones and organs. "I promised."

[00:08] [Storyteller] the jade doesn't cut... it must be magically protected against being cut
[00:08] [Storyteller] you can probably open it from the inside
[00:08] * Tabius opens it from the inside then and lets all big mortal troops swarm through.
[00:09] [Storyteller] there is an entire army inside of course.
[00:09] * Jynaru flips out into the air, shifting slightly as the new center of gravity takes place, adding momentum to the flip as she careens down, dragon-tiger roaring after her through the sky. She plummets down, passing beside l'eaves head as her legs snap out, clasping the spiked heels under l'eaves throat as she completes the final flip, spiking l'eaves head into the ground as the standing

[00:15] [Storyteller] ?!
[00:15] [Storyteller] ok, this time he wins init.
[00:16] * Jynaru shifts minutely, letting the blade slide in beside him as he loops an arm around her striking arm, jerking up and towards him as the elbow tears beyond repair, honorably hauling the daiklaive out of the wall and passing it to the other hand, without yet letting go of the broken, bleeding arm.
[00:16] [Storyteller] The golem stands and recovers it's daiklaive, and then makes a single overhead strike at your warstrider, hoping to knock you off balance...
[00:16] [Storyteller] Storyteller (17), 7, 2, 4, 7, 6, 3, 1, 9, 9, 4, 3, 4, 2, 4, 9, 3, 8, Successes : 6

[00:17] [Storyteller] l'Eaves cries out and pulls back, unable to continue the combo with a broken arm.....

[00:17] [Jynaru] (Awww... no counterattacks?)
[00:17] [Storyteller] well, you didn't let go, so you can couterattack
[00:17] [Vanal] and reflexible parry from 5dbs
[00:17] [Vanal] !ex 4
[00:17] [Storyteller] Vanal (4), 4, 5, 1, 8, Successes : 1
[00:18] [Vanal] aw, come on
[00:18] [Storyteller] what.. crazy.. golem...
[00:18] [Vanal] err
[00:18] [Storyteller] it does 30L raw
[00:18] [Vanal] potentious
[00:18] [Vanal] it misses
[00:18] [Storyteller] that 12 dice was a parry, right?
[00:18] [Vanal] dodge
[00:19] [Storyteller] ok.. but the 5DBS was a parry... you know.
[00:19] [Vanal] 5dbs is a reflexive parry granted by the charm
[00:19] [Storyteller] right, and if you parry with 5FBS can you still use HGD?
[00:19] * Jynaru hauls her back in, snatching her shoulder to brace as he launches forwards, slamming his forehead into her face and shattering bones, smiling through the crimson mask and standing, pressing against the wall as he drags her up.
[00:19] [Vanal] why not ?
[00:19] [Vanal] 5dbs is persistent
[00:19] [Storyteller] you only have one parry per instant, if you use another parry, 5FBS acts as a dice adder.
[00:20] [Vanal] wha ?!
[00:20] [Storyteller] yes..
[00:20] [Storyteller] you can't parry something twice
[00:20] [Vanal] I DODGED
[00:20] [Storyteller] 5DBS parried
[00:20] [Jynaru] Portentious is a parry.
[00:20] [Storyteller] we'll say you didn't use 5DBS and used portentious comet deflecting mode
[00:20] [Jynaru] 5dbs adds dice.
[00:20] [Vanal] portentious is reflexive
[00:21] [Storyteller] but next time if you roll 5dbs you can't also use PCDM
[00:21] [Jynaru] It adds dice to portentious that portentious doesn't need.
[00:21] [Vanal] nonono
[00:21] [Jynaru] It is not, in this case, a parry all it's own.
[00:21] [Vanal] 5dbs is a scene-length chamr right ?
[00:21] [Storyteller] you can't roll a parry and then use a perfect parry, unless the parry is completely independant like VGoF
[00:21] [Jynaru] Doesn't matter. can't double-parry, GH has the right of it.
[00:22] * Vanal is lost
[00:22] [Storyteller] you use PCDM and block the blow
[00:22] [Jynaru] DB blocking is a parry.
[00:22] [Jynaru] portentious is a parry. You can't use both on one attack.
[00:22] [Vanal] Huh
[00:22] [Vanal] anyhow
[00:22] [Storyteller] now you know, I let you PCDM it this time.

[00:24] [Vanal] 4 attacks
[00:24] [Storyteller] ok, l'Eaves is in serious pain.... but she hasn't passed out yet.... she's in your arms.

[00:26] [Vanal] good lord
[00:26] [Storyteller] the golem looks at Vanal with it's massive daiklaive..... DARING you to flee.

[00:29] [Storyteller] just attack with bashing damage, unless someone heals her, that's it.
[00:29] [Jynaru] Right.
[00:29] [Storyteller] if you kill her, though...
[00:29] [Jynaru] heh.
[00:30] [Vanal] at least you get to trade quips with whom you're fighting
[00:30] [Vanal] all I get is 'roar'
[00:30] [Storyteller] Vanal... the golem swings it's daiklaive so fast you can barely see it move.. the golden blur is too fast to be parried by mortal man.. but you are Exalted.. [8 attacks]

[00:42] [Vanal] why can I NEVER get rolls like that ?
[00:42] [Storyteller] how much have you done to her, Jynaru
[00:43] [Jynaru] that's 14 HL, 5 HL lethal.
[00:43] [Vanal] still alive...barely
[00:43] [Storyteller] she's fine
[00:43] [Storyteller] unconscious but fine.
[00:44] [Jynaru] "Rapunzel got beat. L'eaves got beat. Everyone who's in my way has lost. WHO'S LEFT?!"
[00:44] [Storyteller] Jynaru drops her to Vanal's bodyguards....
[00:44] [Storyteller] well, there's an invisible tower...
[00:44] [Vanal] "Who do you think ? Bloom."
[00:44] [Storyteller] Green Snow Blossom is over there being strangled by Tala....
[00:44] [Storyteller] and....
[00:44] [Storyteller] ... how did Rapunzel heal so fast?
[00:45] [Tabius] (*Whatever is killing the mortal troops that are streaming through the breach that Tabius made.*)
[00:45] [*Rapunzel*]  stands behind Jynaru, cape fluttering in the wind....
[00:45] [Storyteller] (Tabius)
[00:45] * Jynaru turns, smiling at her.
[00:45] [Storyteller] "Jynaru....."
[00:45] [Jynaru] "Come for a second try?"
[00:45] * @Storyteller smiles
[00:46] * Vanal pivots his warstrider to face her, the golem finally dead
[00:46] [*Rapunzel*]  "I'm here to save my lover.... so how about we fight another day?"
[00:46] * Vanal blinks within the confines of the armour
[00:46] [Vanal] "Wha ?"
[00:46] [Jynaru] "Who?"
[00:47] [Storyteller] She looks up at the tower Tala and Green Snow Blossom are fighting on....
[00:47] [Vanal] "I...see.."
[00:48] [Vanal] "Er...I don't think Tala's going to step down.
[00:48] [Vanal] "
[00:48] [Storyteller] "I'll make her step down. Bloom is in the tower that you cannot see.. you remember where it is, yes?"
[00:48] [*Rapunzel*]  "If you don't hurry to kill him, then you are all as good as dead...."
[00:49] [Vanal] "I'd figured as much. How do we reveal the tower...hard to open a door we cna't see."
[00:50] [Storyteller] "Do not use your eyes... you are exalted, are you not? You yet may know something is there when you can't see it..
[00:50] * Jynaru nods to her. "You have three months to get the hell out of here, and never. EVER. enter the realm again. Or our third fight will be the last."
[00:51] [Tabius] (*Would really really like a sit-rap about where he is and what is going on around him if anything*)
[00:51] [Vanal] (dude, I'm as confused as you are)
[00:52] [Storyteller] She nods.
[00:52] [Jynaru] (Golem dead, l'eaves punked, army in disarray, tala fighting GSB with Rapunzel offering the way to Bloom if we let her attempt to save GSB.)
[00:52] [Storyteller] Tabius opens the door!
[00:52] [Storyteller] everyone around him is dead.. the castle walls are now open ...
[00:52] [Vanal] "Right."
[00:52] * Jynaru looks at Vanal, oddly troubled. "We have bigger and better prey for now..."
[00:52] [Storyteller] but there is still an army inside the castle....
[00:52] * Vanal imagines it's time to dismount
[00:53] [Vanal] "Hey, I'm not arguing. The big fish before the little ones."
[00:53] [Jynaru] (Naaah. keep going. Army to squish.)
[00:53] * *Rapunzel*  leaps into the air and starts .... floating... upwards, to where Tala and GSB continue their duel
[00:54] * Jynaru moves towards the army, smile full of malice shining through the red mask of the blood of one of their greatest champions.
[00:54] [Storyteller] lets stop it there...
[00:54] [Jynaru] "You can surrender now, or die now. Pick one."
[00:54] * @Storyteller thinks this is a good place
[00:54] [Storyteller] I can explain those who are confused, or continue with Tala if she is stil here...
[00:54] [Jynaru] is the army supermagicfine?
[00:55] [Storyteller] I didn't mean to neglect Werlynn
[00:55] * Tala cannot play next week. It's totally impossible. Have to work late doing Inventory
[00:55] [Storyteller] yes, it is.

[00:55] [Storyteller] Ah.

[00:57] [Storyteller] since i'm in a dorm
[00:57] [Storyteller] anytime i don't have class is ok
[00:58] [Storyteller] so if you get bored come in here
[00:58] [Storyteller] and i'll try to make it fun
[00:58] [Cicada] Tala-Action? Sounds cool.
[00:58] [Storyteller] Tala is an interesting character and I really feel bad about neglecting her as much as I do
[00:59] [Storyteller] I think I should have just said no immaculates but I really like how it's turned out, even if you don't get to play her much.
[00:59] * Werlynn works during the day
[00:59] [Storyteller] so you suffer....
[00:59] * @Storyteller nods
[00:59] [Storyteller] but anytime you're free
[00:59] [Storyteller] even after next week is ok
[00:59] [Storyteller] otherwise I'll just call it game for you and thank you for playing and invite you to my next game, which should start sometime in january
