Session Start: Sat Jul 19 20:34:34 2003 Session Ident: #pvpexaltedrp2 [20:34] * Now talking in #pvpexaltedrp2 [20:34] * ChanServ changes topic to 'Exalted: Here comes the man with that look in his eye, fed on nothing but full of pride, look at them go, look at them kick, makes you wonder how the other half dies. (DryNakedFiat)' [20:53] ok you two.. [20:53] * Storybastard is now known as Storyteller [20:53] Two? You mean Jyn and me? [20:53] yes. [20:53] Goody. [20:53] * Jynaru spends two days and learninates the multi-hitty charm thing! [20:53] now, Cicada, are you going to do anything to jynaru while he learns his stooopid charms? [20:53] Oh, and reads the book in the time I'm not learningating the multi-hitty charm thing. [20:54] * Cicada is dissapointed that her master cannot see the happiness she could bring him and spends time playing sad songs on her harp. Rather often within earshot of Bloom. [20:54] Bloom seems annoyed. He doesn't, not now or ever have a handmaiden. He can take care of himself. [20:54] [20:55] Of course he can. Who the hell talked about serving him like some slave? [20:55] Well, maybe a slave.. but not like that! [20:56] good! he is happy as long as you don't do too much stuff for him. He's a very independant anathema. [20:56] anyhow jynaru. since cicda does not torture you, it's time for you to escape. [20:56] * Cicada lets her master do his important work. Just remains in sight of him (and what a sight she makes) and entertains him with music and advice. [20:57] Hurray! [20:57] Dice Script Active [20:57] Jynaru, you are in the DUNGEON GUEST ROOM [20:58] (Sanyet comes to visit Jyn, btw) [20:58] * Jynaru leaves a note on the dresser. "Thanks for the hospitality. Enclosed is a week's rent. Going to Noble, be back never." [20:59] roll dex + linguistics [20:59] +1 [20:59] !ex 8 [20:59] * *Jynaru (8)* 6, 8, 9, 7, 3, 8, 8, 9, Successes : 6 [20:59] excellent. [20:59] now you may escape. [20:59] hooray. it is a pretty note. [20:59] Going to ignore the Sanyet visit? [21:00] * Storyteller shrugs. Sanyet has dealt with cicada.... she will see what I mean. [21:00] mmmhhmmmm. [21:01] anyhow you may escape at your liesure [21:02] * Jynaru digs in his pockets, drags out a small amount of cash, weighs down the note with it and wanders over to the door, studying it carefully and making a couple of marks with a claw. [21:03] the door is covered with wood and jade; you know how thick it is, but still, it somehow feels light and warm to the touch. it does not move, although the gouges you put into it are real enough, and they make a light ringing sound. [21:05] * Jynaru concentrates, flooding his system with the sense of rage he has been supressing, mixing it with essence as he levels a sweeping strike at it, and then begins to move in earnest, faster and fast until he is a blur of sheer energy, slamming into the door a hundred times in mere moments as the hinges snap under the strain, pulling the door into the room as he leaps forward, slamming on the [21:05] * Jynaru edge and flipping it back up into place, front unmarked. He wipes the sweat off his brow and onto the door, shaking the hand he did it with. [21:06] 2 WP, whatver else it costs personal. [21:06] 6 [21:06] * Jynaru can afford that. [21:08] * Jynaru wanders of down the halls, taking a few twists and turns as he blends in, using his knowledge of subterfuge to appear as if he belongs there, looking for a single person and an unoccupied room as he heads his way out liesurely. [21:08] the door slams inwards and then outwards again as it crashes against the mighty frame, then falls to the ground, squishing all but three of the guards under it's massive bulk. The ringing echos throughout the manse, and inside your head. The guards seem disoriented. [21:08] Ack! Guards! [21:08] I assume that there's a lot of them? [21:08] well, there were at least a dozen, however they have been squashed under the iron doors. [21:09] now there are only three, and the ringing will bring more. [21:10] ah. I shoot them, swap clothes with one who seems to fit me, and get some of their blood on me. Play wounded, he went thataway. Stealth charm. [21:10] roll wits + performance [21:10] Do I recognize the ringing as any particular alarm system, one that might make the "I am a sneaky git" a little useless? [21:11] no. As in, you hit the door made out of metal very, very hard. [21:11] you think you broke your ears. [21:11] Oh, and what stunt bonus did I get for the hitting? [21:11] +2 [21:11] I'll take it in WP. [21:11] k [21:11] !ex 8 +wp [21:11] * *Jynaru (8+1)* 4, 9, 10, 3, 5, 7, 1, 3, Successes : 5 [21:12] they seem fooled by your portreyal, thinking you only another of the new guards. Quickly they run in the direction you pointed, not noticing the dead body hidden in the vents. [21:13] * Jynaru grabs a dead comrade and slinks off, limping heavily as he moves through the corridors, seeking out some sort of medic who is sure to be heading that way. [21:13] Obviously heading along the path to get the hell out of there. [21:14] * Jynaru is scared, and hurt, and sweet Unconquered Sun he squashed them like bugs! [21:15] there is very little traffic once you get out of the side hallway. As you limp out into the open several guards run towards you and support you, taking the dead comrade to carry him away. [21:16] How far to the wall? [21:16] And how many is several? [21:16] lessay nine. [21:16] 8 yards to the opposite wall. [21:17] as in I have 8 yards to to go before I am out of the compound? [21:18] no, until your out of this room. [21:18] Oh. [21:18] there are five flights of stairs until your out enough to make a run for it. [21:18] hrm. [21:18] And how far is that? [21:18] yardswise. [21:19] each room is about the same. so 40 yards + stairways so some 200 yards. [21:19] 6 seconds. [21:19] Then to the wall? [21:20] then maybe another 50 yards to get out of the castle and jumping out. [21:22] 5 turns to out of bow range. [21:22] well, small bow, anyway. [21:22] *shakes fist at longbow* [21:22] * Storyteller nods. It's not straightline, though, so give me a dex + ath roll at each floor. [21:22] Eh, more counting. [21:23] Which way are they taking me along? [21:23] * Jynaru would think you don't need nine soldiers to carry one wounded one, especially with psycho killer on the loose. [21:23] they're taking you further inside, because the med bay is internal to the compound. [21:24] Ah. That won't do. [21:24] Sorry, boys. [21:24] doom! [21:26] * Jynaru straigthens up suddenly, handing one of them the random internal organ he had been holding to increase the veracity of the ruse, and salutes, hand dripping blood as he suddenly vanishes, drops of crimson hitting the flame and vanishing into mist as they look, dumbfounded, at the lines tracing up the stairs. [21:26] hmm. dex + ath +3 [21:27] Taking back essence. [21:27] !ex 12 [21:27] * *Jynaru (12)* 7, 3, 8, 9, 3, 3, 4, 3, 8, 6, 3, 10, Successes : 6 [21:27] Whee! Run, 'naru, run! [21:30] Jynaru makes it to the next level! There are six metal-plated gards standing in your way! you manage to slow right before them but they see you darting up the stairs just in time. [21:30] 6 of them? [21:31] yes [21:31] Hoorah. [21:32] they are in your way, of course, so you gotta do someting [21:33] * Jynaru snaps back into movement speed, feinting low with a dive and springing up high, heels over head, hands sending a shower of sparks at the guards as he twists, flying between the helmets of the guards and moving on, bits of torn stone from the ceiling falling down to greet their stunned countenances. [21:34] hmm... [21:34] !ex 8 [21:34] * *Storyteller (8)* 2, 7, 1, 8, 5, 1, 5, 10, Successes : 4 [21:34] roll dex + ath, +3 [21:35] Take back a WP and 3 ess, activate anima effect personal. [21:35] !ex 16 +wp [21:35] * *Jynaru (16+1)* 1, 10, 2, 7, 4, 4, 7, 4, 5, 8, 8, 10, 4, 8, 3, 7, Successes : 11 [21:35] Move, bitch, get out the way, get out the way, get out the way. [21:36] woot! past the guards and up the next level. they are rather dumbfounded and you streak through the mortal guards once again. [21:36] * Jynaru is fast. They are not. Res 5 endorsement from Nike, here I come. [21:36] two more levels, two more dex + aths [21:37] !ex 12 [21:37] * *Jynaru (12)* 8, 8, 1, 9, 5, 3, 9, 7, 3, 2, 9, 3, Successes : 6 [21:37] !ex 1 [21:37] * *Jynaru (1)* 9, Successes : 1 [21:37] Add to the first, anima effect. [21:37] !ex 13 [21:37] * *Jynaru (13)* 2, 2, 3, 6, 9, 2, 3, 3, 10, 1, 3, 1, 1, Successes : 3 [21:37] (is still used to adding three unless I think about it.) [21:38] Oh no! you have been stopped on the top level, surroudned by mortal guards! two metalheads are on their way from opposite corners of the room, but you are stuck for this turn with the mortals surrouding you. There are a dozen, and you are surrounded on all sides, but you can see the common hallway ahead of you. [21:39] I am a sad panda. Feel my sadness. [21:43] they hit you! [21:43] !ex 5 [21:43] !ex 5 [21:43] * *Storyteller (5)* 2, 10, 1, 8, 8, Successes : 4 [21:43] !ex 5 [21:43] * *Storyteller (5)* 3, 7, 4, 1, 2, Successes : 1 [21:43] !ex 5 [21:43] !ex 5 [21:43] * *Storyteller (5)* 7, 10, 3, 4, 9, Successes : 4 [21:43] * *Storyteller (5)* 5, 3, 10, 4, 10, Successes : 4 [21:43] * *Storyteller (5)* 9, 7, 5, 3, 10, Successes : 4 [21:43] 3,1,3,2,3 [21:43] * Jynaru stands momentarily, bows to them and picks out someone to have a very bad day, snapping the bow out into a staff with an upswing, striking said unlucky guard in the crotch, bow retracting as he spins, spiking out into the guard's helmet with a short burst of essence. Jynaru heaves the body up, swinging it up and over as he slams it into the guard in the way, pulling the bow down as he [21:43] * Jynaru arcs high, breathing in to avoid the stabbing blades as the momentum carries him up and out of the crowd. [21:44] double-full-dodge, move 50 yards. Attack doesn't really do damage, it just amused me. [21:44] Maybe swinging dude is a parry, I dunno. [21:45] Stunt benny? [21:45] well, you really can't move this turn; have to wait till next turn and win init. double full dodge? [21:46] Bah. [21:46] Stupid guards. [21:46] What's my stutn bonus? [21:46] +2 [21:46] take it in WP. [21:46] !ex 12 [21:46] * *Jynaru (12)* 3, 9, 1, 6, 6, 4, 5, 4, 2, 10, 7, 7, Successes : 5 [21:46] !ex 11 [21:46] * *Jynaru (11)* 3, 4, 3, 3, 7, 9, 8, 7, 3, 10, 5, Successes : 6 [21:46] !ex 10 [21:46] * *Jynaru (10)* 6, 2, 3, 7, 6, 1, 2, 6, 2, 1, Successes : 1 [21:46] !ex 9 [21:46] * *Jynaru (9)* 2, 3, 8, 9, 1, 4, 4, 2, 1, Successes : 2 [21:46] !ex 8 [21:46] * *Jynaru (8)* 4, 3, 9, 8, 7, 5, 4, 10, Successes : 5 [21:46] !ex 12 [21:46] * *Jynaru (12)* 3, 7, 5, 7, 4, 8, 9, 7, 4, 7, 4, 4, Successes : 6 [21:47] !ex 11 [21:47] * *Jynaru (11)* 7, 3, 5, 4, 3, 2, 4, 8, 5, 4, 6, Successes : 2 [21:47] They all miss. [21:47] * Storyteller nods. [21:47] init! [21:47] !roll 1d10+5 [21:47] * *Storyteller* 1d10+5, 6 , Total: 11 [21:47] !roll 1d10+15 [21:47] * *Jynaru* 1d10+15, 10 , Total: 25 [21:48] ok, now you can escape. [21:48] *shrug* not gonna waste another stunt on these, I'm full of ess and WP pretty much anyway. [21:48] ok [21:49] you didn't activate any charms beforehand? [21:50] I've stunted back almost all of it. [21:50] persistants, i mean. [21:50] Ah, true. Bloody persistants. [21:50] which ones? [21:51] *counts up* Anima power count as persitant? [21:51] if it's scenelong, yes. [21:51] Bleah. [21:51] I'm full because there's no essence to regenerate anyway. [21:51] indeed. [21:51] well, beyond my 6 from the attack. [21:52] but what do you have up? Since the furious angels and all [21:52] AFP, move fast, anima, stealth charm. [21:53] ok. [21:53] Anyway, mortals are gone. Wall next, then running. [21:55] * Jynaru goes? Or is there scene setting? [21:57] you break through into the common area; this large room poses as an indoor commons inside the manse. Peasants are everywhere. AT the end of the hall is a massive stained glass window; your exit of choice. You streak towards the wall, only as you approach do you see a figure in robes standing in front of the window cast off her cloak and raises a bow and aims it at you! an empty golden ring [21:57] shines on her forehead [21:58] I reach her this turn? [21:59] dex + ath, diff 5 to avoid hitting anyone, 3 if you just run right through the mass. [21:59] Stunt, apparently. [21:59] hmm... [22:03] * Jynaru explodes out of the hallway, rush of heated air following him as he speeds through the crowd, passing them by as if they were stone, sparing a moment to look up the skirt as the rush of wind hits behind him. He spins in a massive leap up through the air, spinning the bow vertically in his hand and snagging the arrow out if the air, launching it for a diversion as he passes behind her, [22:03] * Jynaru feet clasped on her neck as he rolls, tossing her lightly through the window and folloing in a burst of hot essence. [22:05] I move good, assuming that she's only shooting the once the autoparry, style over substance with the window. [22:05] +3... dex + ath roll please. she is activating a combo. Essence flows around her like a giant orb and the arrow in her bow shines with a half rainbow, one end tied to the arrow, the other reflecting off of droplets of water in the air. [22:06] !ex 16 [22:06] * *Jynaru (16)* 6, 6, 1, 5, 5, 4, 9, 7, 10, 9, 7, 2, 5, 5, 9, 6, Successes : 7 [22:06] allright, no problems getting there. [22:06] just autoparry? [22:07] Can I figure out what she's trying to do? [22:07] she's using some kind of combo. clearly it has both defensive and offensive factors, but you've never seen this combo before. [22:07] one full dodge to match the autoparry. [22:08] ok [22:08] !ex 24 +wp [acc] [22:08] * *Storyteller (24+1)* 10, 8, 7, 5, 6, 9, 10, 8, 8, 8, 2, 5, 3, 3, 3, 8, 5, 2, 10, 8, 5, 5, 3, 8, Successes : 16 [22:08] dodge and parry? [22:08] oops, forgot her stunt... [22:08] obviously. [22:08] !ex 2 [22:08] * *Storyteller (2)* 9, 8, Successes : 2 [22:09] *wince* [22:09] 18. [22:09] your dice hate me. [22:09] yes. [22:09] It's revenge for all the multi-shot things. [22:09] arrow of doom... [22:09] Adding valor to parry, ere we go ere we go ere we go waaaagh! [22:09] !ex 19 [22:09] * *Jynaru (19)* 10, 2, 2, 10, 3, 5, 8, 6, 6, 8, 9, 8, 4, 1, 8, 9, 2, 10, 4, Successes : 12 [22:09] nice. [22:09] 6 to go. [22:10] Actually, forgot stunt bonus. [22:10] !ex 3 [22:10] * *Jynaru (3)* 8, 6, 1, Successes : 1 [22:10] 5... [22:10] !ex 16 [22:10] * *Jynaru (16)* 2, 8, 9, 3, 3, 10, 8, 7, 8, 5, 5, 1, 1, 4, 8, 5, Successes : 8 [22:11] The dice, however, think that doom is over-rated. ^_~ [22:11] You know, I didn't hit anybody with a counter yet... [22:11] I'll make the throw thingie my counter, I guess. [22:11] Oh. Yeah. It has to hit. Sill Jyn. [22:12] you don't know what's going on. You should have moved out of the way of that attack.. but you didn't. Somehow, the arrow hits you... and it burns. as you lunge for her neck, she fades into the shadows around you. passing through her, off balance, you fall through the stained glass window 20 feet onto the stone paneled roof below, the plates sliding and slipping below you. [AWD + Wise ARROW + [22:12] Fire arrowy stuff + SSE] [22:12] * Retrieving #pvpexaltedrp2 info... [22:13] Ow. Tell me how much soak to buy. [22:13] * Storyteller counts.. 1 sux... [22:13] 10L [22:14] Buy it down to 1. Ah, I love you, essence regen. [22:14] !exm 1 [22:14] * *Storyteller (1)* 8, Successes : 1 [22:14] ow. [22:15] the arrow stays stuck in your arm. [22:17] next turn! you're on the rooftop. you can get off the short way or the long way; the long way makes it easier to jump down (avoid ping damage from falling), but will expose you to miss AWD for another turn. [22:17] obviously you win init. [22:17] Hrm. [22:17] you don't see her, she is probably on the other side of the remains of the window. [22:17] I'm on the rooftop. [22:17] I can jump to the wall? [22:18] if you go the long way, diff 5 jump. [22:18] short way, you have to run aroudn the ground and then jump over teh wall. [22:18] how does SAE work with AWD? [22:18] it will take two turns to get to the wall the long way. [22:18] SAE works but you need to have someone within the range to use it on. [22:19] I have the init, my move counts first. Make it to the wall, mook gets thwacked. [22:19] there are no mooks on the wall. [22:19] er [22:19] roof. [22:19] Wall. [22:19] allright. [22:19] Jump, SAE, then down. [22:19] long way? [22:19] Will that work? [22:20] Assuming I make it to the wall. [22:20] two turns to the wall. [22:20] Why is that the long way? [22:20] I'm on the roof, isn't it shorter to jump than to go down to the ground, then do it? [22:21] yes, i mean logn and short as to how long you staty on the roof. [22:21] Oh. Bah. [22:21] going down to the wall is at least 4-5 turns for what you could do in 2-3 [22:21] Guess I'll go down. *shrug* [22:21] ok, down you go. [22:21] !exm 1 [22:21] * *Storyteller (1)* 1, Successes : 0 , Botch [22:21] you land! [22:22] she jumps out of the building and stands on the roof, aiming her powebow at you. [22:22] no essence flare that you can see. [22:23] * Jynaru pinwheels to the side, slamming a hand into the wall and using it to halt his fall as he disappears off the rooftop, using the rolling motion to start into the loping stride and shooting off into the distance again, each step randomized slightly to allow for the sudden jerk needed to parry the incoming attack. His senses tingle as he focuses on the hearthstone's warning. [22:24] she's gonig to shoot you. spider sense tingling! [22:24] Yeah. That's the stunt. [22:25] allright. +2 stunt. [22:25] *shrug* I only have so many running and trying not to get killed stunts. [22:25] Especially with open ground and trying not to use too many charms. [22:26] allright. [22:26] essence recovery. [22:26] !ex 15 [22:26] * *Storyteller (15)* 1, 3, 4, 7, 6, 8, 1, 5, 1, 2, 4, 3, 6, 9, 8, Successes : 4 [22:26] [AWD] [22:26] !ex 18 [22:26] * *Jynaru (18)* 5, 9, 4, 1, 7, 1, 10, 5, 10, 7, 2, 1, 9, 2, 4, 5, 8, 4, Successes : 9 [22:26] ping! [22:26] Hey... wait. She's hit me twice. [22:27] AWD lets her hit you. what are you going to do, jump back up on the building and punch her? [22:27] The counterattacks don't specify HtH... Shoot back to annoy her? [22:27] it would take an action (you could split it) and a stunt to do that. [22:27] !exm 1 [22:27] * *Storyteller (1)* 5, Successes : 0 [22:28] Eh, it specifies unarmed. [22:28] Can't do ranged counter. Sadness. [22:28] oh well. [22:28] guess that dodge counter has a purpose after all. [22:28] Nah. It's HtH anyway. [22:28] ah [22:28] shame. [22:29] *note to self: Custom ranged counter* [22:29] I assume she chucks AWD at me every time? [22:29] yes. [22:29] How many times? [22:29] she can do it 5 more times. [22:30] Ye gods. [22:30] at 100 yards a turn? [22:30] assuming I don't decide to pull out the +2 stunts. [22:30] AWD is accuracy wihout distance. [22:30] He has a 600 yard long run? [22:30] yard long yard. [22:30] 5 turns because she runs out of WP. [22:30] not because of range. [22:30] hide behind something? [22:30] Ah. I was wondering when I was going to meet the wall. [22:30] Because, you know, stunt. [22:31] the 600 yard long lawn scared me. [22:31] one more turn in the lawn, thne a jump up, deal with the mortals, then a jump down. [22:31] Silly GH. [22:32] yes I am very silly. [22:32] Who said I had to jump the wall? [22:32] you going through the wall? it's not solid, you know. [22:32] ... MORE bound demons? [22:32] no, just annoying mortals. [22:33] Shrug. Strike strike strike move strike strike strike move. Kinda puts my hiding behind rubble and dust in doubt, though. [22:34] Ah, well. Try to parry the AWD. [22:34] Again.

[22:39] * Jynaru shoots arrows at half pull, ignoring the fire that runs through his veins as he launches a small set of them at the wall, peppering it as he moves and runs up, using htme as hand and footholds as the wounded arm waves the bow in tight, everchanging arcs to defend him as he helicopters up and over, swinging his legs around horizontally and springing off the mook at the top and over, diving [22:39] * Jynaru for the ground as a now perceptible trail of essence flares behind him. [22:40] faster! [22:40] And I'm freeeeee! Free falling. [22:41] so you are jumping over the wall? [22:41] (faster Pussynary! Kill! Kill!) [22:42] I'm going to assume I'm at the top of the wall and starting down, I have a stunt for that. [22:43] ok, you know of course that there are a bunch of mooks in the wall where you land i'm sure. [22:43] want to parry AWD again? [22:43] Hence the springing off mook and stunting. [22:43] !ex 16 [22:44] * *Jynaru (16)* 4, 6, 3, 4, 8, 8, 6, 3, 9, 3, 7, 7, 2, 8, 4, 3, Successes : 6 [22:44] Feh.

[22:44] dice? Stop playa hatin. [22:44] stunt your waaaay down! [22:44] * Cicada stands, leaning on the battlement as Jynary reaches the top, in lead of a squad of guards. "Oh, already here? Kept me waiting long enough." [22:47] * Jynaru springs off, floating into nothingness and snapping into a tight ball with the impact of the arrow, spinning in a world of shock before pulling out, driving the bow and his claws into the wall as the stone screams, explosion of rock shards and dust concealing his exit as he pulls his legs back and hammers them into the wall, shooting out low over the terrain. [22:47] Cicada! Jynaru flies right by you! [22:48] * Jynaru would wave, but I'm getting shot by arrows. [22:48] "Damn... he is hard to keep a hold of, eve for the best woman..." [22:48] You understand. [22:49] * Cicada calls after the fleeing figure. "Leaving so soon? So only Kylara will remain here for dinner? Don't worry. We'll find some proper amusements for her!" [22:49] [cicada's turn, if she wants to follow, or init] [22:49] *shrug* [22:50] He would have done it anyway. [22:50] * Cicada leans causally on the battlement waiting for the cowrdly traitor of his own loved ones to show his true colors. [22:52] * Jynaru launches a barrage of arrows back, arcing them over the battlement as they thud into the ground, slicing through each other as they fall into a very rough approximation of the high realm words for bloom = traitor, and inevitability. [22:53] * Cicada sees the deadly barbs coming and leaps with a cry to push soldiers out of the way as they stand stunned by the fugitive's prowess. [22:54] * Jynaru thinks and adds a final one, adding an exclamation point to the traitor. [22:54] The arrows fall harmlessly amongst them, but the message is clear. In the distance, you can see Bloom watching.. no other could stand so sure and yet so understated. [22:54] (awwww.. just for me? Thanks, you are such a gentleman) [22:55] * Cicada looks up at her master, and uses Wind-Carried words to whisper a question. "Shall I pursue?" [22:55] I never could have saved her anyway. Though for some reason GH fears, there's no way in hell I could deal with a castle of enemies, 2 exalts, bunch of demons, maybe super-exalt, and parrying for two. [22:56] I know she doesn't run 70 MPH, so it would have been completely pointless. I have 9 HL, not 90. [22:56] Bloom shakes his head, and two of the bodies spralwed on the ground next to you write with agony. [22:58] * Cicada starts at the sight, she had not noticed anyone getting hurt. Immideately she rushes over to help with her Charms. [22:58] wings sprout out of their backs and pull themselves to their feet, twisted horns pushing through their steel helmets. [22:58] (ah... in that way..) [22:58] (indeed) [22:58] sudden glows surround them as they leap off the battlements, chasing jynaru. [22:58] Cicada looks back to see bloom watching, impassively. He waves for you to return. [23:00] * Cicada hurries to obey Bloom's signal. trying to look as if she is just doing things on her own voalition. [23:00] Meanwhile the two demon-possessed soliders are following jynaru through the woods, trees uprooting themselves in their wake as they follow him into the woods [23:01] * Jynaru runs. And runs. And runs. And runs a little more. And runs some after that, for good measure. [23:02] Oh, for there is the running legs. Legs of running that run, running with their runningness. [23:03] the last of their mortal flesh falls from their bodies and their bodies become envoloped in massive glowing steel armors and glittering daiklaives. Their faces are not even recognizebly human, but looking back you can see that their pure-white hair falls back from an expression of furious rage. [23:04] slowly they swoop down to attack, darting between the limbs of the trees as Jynary runs. [23:05] Like a sentence of death, I've got no options left. [23:05] init, they attacking!

[23:06] how fast do they move? [23:06] up to 100 mph [23:07] they can fly, too, so they can pull out of the forest and hit 120. [23:07] Let's have the form up for good measure. [23:07] allright [23:07] Apparently, I have to kill the bastards. [23:07] yes, they are demons. [23:07] eeeevil deeemons [23:08] remember that trees are flying through the air behind them, so if they pass you, you will have to dodge 1d4 trees. [23:10] * Jynaru springs up from tree to tree, spinning in the air and unleashing a furious volley of arrows that streak through the air with a murderous intent, meeting the first demon with a thunderclap and slamming it into the second as he lands, shooting out and over the treetops with arms outstretched, turning slowly and snapping his legs heels over head to spin back into the tree, leaping off the [23:10] * Jynaru flying rubble farther away from the fallen enemy and his wounded comrade, leaving a thin emerald rainbow in the sky that can be seen for miles. [23:11] You know the drill. Swallows defend the nest, poisoned target arrows, double jump as stunt for movement and dodge in case trees catch me.
