[Why bother with the day/time anymore?] [You're all in hell. Yay! You rode out to meet the Chinese people who didn't trust you from the start, and probably trust you even less now. After negotiations failed (they wouldn't negotiate very much) they let their doctor heal you up, and then, having all been stuck in a heavily guarded tent and having nothing else to do, you all went to sleep.] ( Except Lazar. ) (Well, Rei sleeps, but then she doesn't also. So it's fair enough. ; [Except Lazar. It's a brand new day in Hell! Not that you can tell; the sky never changes from the reddish-black thing it is. But anyhow! You're all awoken rather suddenly by a whole bunch of the nomadic warriors pointing pointy sticks at you. Yay!] [Session Start!] * Rei saw herself being pointed at while trying to play a game of imaginary solitaire with herself, and so went to inabit said pointed at body. She wakes herself up. "" [The people point menacingly. Grr. This muscular hunk of a man in his late 20s comes in and folds his arms. He's got a number of weapons at his sides, none of which you'd ever seen before.] "" * Chomei is woken up? Whatever. "Geeze, rude wake up call." * Rei grumbles and tries to fix her hair, inevitably making it messier. She looks around. * Asanjya rolls over, mumbling mightily incoherently about protease inhibitors. Mmmmmmmmnnnnnnnn... * Chie doesn't open her eyes. * Lazar glances over at the Chinese guy, and sticks out an phantasmal tongue at him. [He says again, more angrily, <"Get up!">. One of the troops taps Chie with his foot.] * Chie kicks back instinctively and sits up. "What?" Oh. This. [Chie doesn't quite impale herself.] Great, so I wasn't dreaming. * Chomei holds his head. "What time is it?" * Rei folds her arms frumpily, but she doesn't seem that put out even by the spears. Way too early, dammit. * Lazar is comfortable, durnit. He doesn't move much. Plus, he doesn't understand what they're saying. * Asanjya slowly rises to her feet. She raises a hand to her hair, smooths it and readjusts her bun a little. She rubs at her eyes halfheartedly. "And here I was hoping for a shower." [The prodding spears make it pretty clear what they're saying.] Yeah, yeah. We get the fucking picture. * Chie stands up. "" she grumbles. * Chomei stands up and stretches. "Howdy hoo to you too." He glances over at Chie. * Lazar ponders remaining seated, just to see them attempt to get him to stand up. [Chomei is prodded with a spear. The guards gesture to the front of the tent.] Hey, hey! Watch it. * Chie deathglares at the guard who prodded Chomei, then heads for the front of the tent. * Chomei goes to the front of the tent. * Rei gets up. She looks around, noting who's there... and not. "" * Rei does as the stupid sticks say. ( They're from Hell. They'd get you to stand up with Mazok- err. Nevermind, wrong altverse. ) * Lazar realizes that the others aren't quite so poke-proof as he is, and gets up. <"Out."> * Lazar does cheerfully LOOM over the (presumably) shorter captors, though. * Chie goes out. * Asanjya reaches into her cloak and pulls out a compact. She powders her face with a purposeful air, making herself several shades lighter than she was when she woke up. "I assume we're to go places now?" [The guards don't seem intimidated by Lazar at all. They live in Hell.] * Lazar shrugs, bites his thumb at one of the guards, and follows the others. * Asanjya shrugs and follows Lazar. (Do you bit your thumb at me?) [The guards look more confused than anything by that gesture. But whatever, pokey pokey.] ( Yes, I bite my thumb at thee! ) "" [You get outside, where there's many more armed men, including Zhou Xun, who's waiting right outside.] * Zhou has joined #besm * Asanjya puts her compact back, then smooths out a few wrinkles in her cloak as she's walking. * Chomei folds his arms. ( He's waiting outside, which is why you see him when you get there :P ) * Zhou is now known as ZhouXun * Rei rubs at her eyes, squinting at Zhou Xun. "" "" * ZhouXun nods to the muscleman. <"Thank you Yun."> He turns back to the others. <"As do we. But respect is something you earn. Traitors like you do not deserve it.>" "" "" "" * Chomei raises an eyebrow. [It's about now you notice a distinct lack of Makoto and Maria.] ( Duh-duh-DUHN. ) "" (*thwaps Jex*) * Asanjya looks between Chie/Rei and Zhou. "" "" * Lazar blinks at the mention of Maria and Makoto, then notices they aren't there. "... what in name of were-sheep..." * Chie looks shocked and switches back to Japanese. "No... no way! They wouldn't do that!" * Chomei blinks. "What's going on Chie?" "" * Rei flails. "They think they're spies!" * Chie turns to Chomei. "He says Makoto and Maria were gonna betray us!" They said some archer commander guy heard them talking about it, and they went off to warn Kali. Fuckin' hell... That can't be right! [Another man comes up. He's got long hair and a bow. Oh, and he's blindfolded. ""] Yeah, for one thing, Makoto's too damn smart to talk about something like that in an enemy camp. Or anywhere close. Or wearing his own skin. ... why he blindfolded? And what he saying? * Chie turns back to Zhou. "" * Asanjya blinks. "" "" * Asanjya double blinks, and quietly buttons her pocket. * ZhouXun gestures towards the man called Razor. "" "" "" [The guards with their spears prod Chie angrily, and the muscle guy says, "" \ ] ( Sheesh ) "" "" * Lazar steps between the guards and Chie, scowling back at them. * Chomei glares at the guards with spears. "You know, I'm about *this* close to kicking their asses." "" * Rei scratches the back of her head, looking at the ground in thought. At the guy's words, she snaps her head up and glares at him. "" "" * Grysar has quit IRC (Quit: ) * ZhouXun shrugs. "" * Asanjya looks down at her staff, starts fingering runes, and traces along them very slowly. What going on now? * Chie clenches her fists. "Fuck it, I don't *need* this..." They just said that they know Kali's gonna attack in an hour. And that they think we're buying her time. Yun: <"We've been doing this a long time, kiddies. You can't fool us so easily.>" Okay. Then put me at front. I kick ass, prove we no traitors. "" * Chomei shrugs. "If they think she's going to attack, then they should run off and take them first." It's not like she couldn't have done it before *anyways*. * Asanjya looks over at Rei and Chie. "I can get us out of here, if you need me to. I can call ....him... and we're gone." * Rei looks at Asanjya. "We don't go without Makoto and Maria." * Asanjya waves her hand. "Well, we could come back, but okay. You speak the language, you're kind of in charge." Is easy solution. I beat crap out of demons, we no traitors. ( Anyone who looks notices that the civilians aren't around. There seems to be fewer people here today in general, too.] ) ( Hey Arcana players: Look, it's the Nine of Swords! http://img.4chan.net/c/src/1068220418099.jpg ) * Chie looks at the group. "I don't know what to do. I really don't." (Heheheh. ^^) (Hehe.) Neither do I. ( There's no 9 of swords yet ) (She could be it. ^_~) * Rei switches languages. "" (Yeah, really. :P) Well, they have the spears. We don't have much of an option if we're not leaving. ( Hmmm... That's true. ) "" "" ( Unless that thing on the back is also a sword, in which case she'd be the Ten. And she's DEFINITELY overkill. ) (Overkill is good.) ( Overkill is wai. ) (She lookes like one of the nuns from the Hellsing Extra stories >.>) "" Well, Laz, looks like you're gonna get that chance. They either want us fighting in the front lines, or we're gonna get executed. I guess if we're surrounded by their army, they'd be able to kill us if we decided to turn traitor on them. Tell them we intend to teach them how to demon hunt like Transylvanians, no like sissy Chinese demon hunters what have silly clothes and small genitals. * Chie sounds quite bitter and angry. * Rei blinks a couple of times, then pales visibly. "I'm gonna die," she says, barely above a whisper. Small's an understatement. * Asanjya sighs, and pulls a pair of gloves out of her cloak. She puts them on slowly. "Well, once again, we don't have much of a choice, now?" She twirls her staff. No, Rei. You're not. Explain to them. If they're tryin' to pull this... They've obviously lost it. Tell them about your powers. You no going to die, little one. You with golem. Golem no let stupid demons do anything. They'll... just... kill me. * Chie reaches up and puts a hand on Rei's shoulder. "No they won't." I won't let them. * Lazar adjusts his demon bracers, and grunts, eyeing the guards around him. "You suck. You suck more. Wow you suck. Suck. Very suck. Sucky." * Rei winces, then switches back to Chinese. "" * Chomei chuckles. "You forgot him, him, and him." He looks at three guards that Lazar missed.

(Brown nosers. <.<) <"You shall stay in the back with me, heavily guarded. Should your friends try to betray us on the battlefield, you will be executed.>" * Chie glares at ZhouXun but says nothing. [Rei realizes that not only are many troops missing, but the meece cavalry doesn't even have a trace here.] * DreaMwrite has joined #BESM (What about me? ;_;) [Asanjya does too.] (And me? I can hit them from that far!) (AFK just a sec.) (Oh, wait, wrong thing. Nevermind1) (!_ (!) * Rei swallows. "" (... Stupid typos.) ( ...back. ) * Asanjya looks around, idly swinging her staff for a warmup. "They seem a little light on people, don't they?" Yup. * DreaMwrite has left #BESM ... * Awaymancer is now known as Segev Wait a sec. Can we ask them about that without getting skewered? * JesseLman has joined #besm <"We have unfortunately already sent them to the other camps. Kali knows this and has sent reinforcements.>" How the hell would they understand what Maria and Makoto were talking about? I just did. Oh, that's nice, they- hey, damn! Why didn't I think of that? Neither of them speak Chinese. Oh wait! * Lazar has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) It must be because it wasn't actually Maria and Makoto! Imagine that. * JesseLman is now known as Lazar Huh. Razor speaks up, "Sorry, but I also speak your language." Why didn't you mention it earlier? ( Can someone fill me in? Last I saw saw Zhou saying he'd let Rei stay behind. ) "As well as Russian and a form of Mongolian." (Am back.) * Asanjya makes a few idle jabs at Lazar. "Well, that's inconvenient." (Mock jabs) Oh, so you hear me say you all sucky demon hunters, what no hold broken candelabras to demon hunters in Transylvania? "Indeed." Good. Weenie. He looks at Zhou Xun, "" * Rei coughs. "" ( Fill in? Someone? ^_^;;; ) (I thought someone did. :P I'll do it.) "" [Someone shouts. <"Kali's army is moblizing!>"] ... so where are rest of troops? * Chie looks like she wants to say something, but bites her tongue. Hard. Ow. * ZhouXun looks towards the citadel. "" He points at Rei. "" What he say? * Chie squeezes Rei's shoulder. "Be careful, Rei." Hey, um... Guy with the blindfold. What'd he say? [The soldiers start moving.] * Chie then looks at the others. "It's time to go." * Chomei nods. * Rei glares at Razor briefly, not that he can see it, before nodding to Zhou. She looks at Chie and smiles a little sadly. "Won't matter. I can't stop anything they do to me. I'll be with you guys. Get goin'." * Asanjya stops warming up, then nods to Chie. "I'll need a bit of guarding, if you don't mind. It takes time to cast my spells." She smiles. * Lazar nods. "Time to show silly weenie fighters how we do things in Transylvania. And no worry, Rei. We be back for you, and then we give stupid leader guy big wedgie." [The leader from yesterday, Cheng, rides his meece (the only one still in the camp) up to Zhou Xun. "" ] And a swirlie. I'm sure they have toilets here. * Chie looks over at Asanjya. "Stay behind Laz, then. He's very good at that whole guarding thing." * ZhouXun points backwards, behind the camp. "" Behemoths? Gods, this gets better by the fucking *minute*... * Asanjya nods, then smiles at Laz. * Chomei nods. "I got your backs." * Lazar nods. "I hit things very hard, and take very much to move me." ( Rei, into #War! ) And I'll stab things and fling spirit energy around. Yeah. * Chie blinks and looks for her bag. [Towards the castle, you see the enemies coming: Demons of all sorts. Many are humanoids, some look like gargoyles... Oh! That 15-foot tall lion-like thing must be a behemoth.] (Do I have my sword and wards?) [None of the enemy demons are flying.] ( Yes :P ) * Outsanity is now known as Insanity-kun ( /me pokes Rei ) * Chie looks at the oncoming enemies and her eyes widen. "Holy shit..." ... Daaamn. ... eh. No is so bad. (Sorry, thought there wasn't an exclamation point at the end. ^^) [Cheng addresses the crowd: "" The men cheer.] * Asanjya looks out across them, and her eyes narrow. "It could be worse. It could be Old Ones." Yay. * Chie draws her sword. * Chomei gestures and summons Rownal. Like I say. Cthulhu just big sissy. "" What's up Chie? Heading for the forest. [He rides off, and joins Zhou Xun and Rei. And a buncha guards.] * Lazar grins. "Fight in forest. Just like old times." Forest, huh? Plenty of hiding places. I guess we just follow along. Sounds good. [The troops begin marching towards the forest. They consist of three units: Spearmen led by Yun, Archers led by Razor, and swordsmen led by some guy, who might be Sum Gai.] * Asanjya spins her staff idly. ( Who're we with? ) ( You're more or less on your own ) ( In front of the spearmen, say. ) [Kali's troops advance as well, somewhat faster. They should reach you by the time you reach the forest.] * Chie falls in and starts moving along with the others. * Asanjya follows along, too. ( And I'll just cut right to the chase if you guys like :P ) (Winamp: Salva Nos. ^^) * Chomei follows. Duh. (*nod*) ( Gimme GodIdontwannadie rolls. Then give me init rolls :P ) Everyone... stay behind me. I try keep from reaching you. Chie, you behind me, act as second line. Keep from reaching Chomei and Asanjya, who need room to work.

Unlike whatever they fired at you, these things explode, sending several charred corpses high into the sky.] [The demons look around confusedly. Then a horn sounds and they charge towards you. Razor yells <"Archers! Fire!"> and looses his arrow along with the troops.] * Chomei found his target. How far away is that small booth?

It goes down and is lost from sight as the enemy army advances.] * Chie waits for the demons to get in her range. [The archers pull back behind the spearwall and begin reloading.

(Made attack roll.) * Asanjya spends her turn chanting. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Rei (2d6) and gets 3. * Atom rolls for Rei (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6 * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6) and gets 8. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6) and gets 9. (Did not make awareness roll.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6+2) and gets 9. * Atom rolls for Asanjya (2d6+2) and gets 14. ( Ok... Anyone make awareness? ) * JexSemIdol is now known as Jexless * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jexless (No, and Chomei still needs to roll.) ( ... damn you, Autoopping Chanserv. ) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6+2) and gets 11. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6+2) and gets 10. * Chomei makes with the shooting at the mookage. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-3) and gets 1. ( Ok, you notice nothing ) (And that's a defenite no.) * Lazar grabs a nearby demon, and tries to use him as a club to swat at either a nearby demon or, if possible, a nearby clump of demons. (And I hit a demon, and I have to AFK a sec.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 7. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 6. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 2. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 4. ( Made both. Grab by 0, swing by 5. ) [Lazar picks up one demon and hits another, but since this isn't DW, that's all that works.] [And Chie kills something, and Chomei shoots something.] [Enemy turn!] [The giant arrows don't come this time. Why? Beats you.] ( Poor somethings. ) ( Chie, defense roll. Lazar, 2 defense rolls! ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 7. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 11. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6) and gets 5. ( Hello? <.< ) ( Heh heh. Nope. ) ( Hello! ) [Thwock! Lazar actually felt that one.] ( What was he hit with? ) (returns) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 6. * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 3. ( A club! High quality, too. It has "Club!" printed on the side. ) (Grab the CLUB!) (*laughs*) [Chie gets punched by a boxing demon. Go figure.] ( Ah, okie. ) Ow! [Oh yeah, Lazar gets hacked with an axe, for all the good it does.] [Players turn! Sight checks, no penalty] 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 2. * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6-2) and gets 2. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 4. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-4) and gets 6. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 4. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6) and gets 6. ( Made! ) (FINALLY made a sensory check! ^_^) (made) (Definitely made.) [You all notice a HUGE blaze erupt in the center of the enemy army.] (... We needed a sight check for that?) ( You're kinda busy. ) (Actually, it's possible. When you're in the middle of a battle, anyway.) ( Well, we are concentrating on... yeah. ) (Ah. I guess that'd make sense.) ( ^^;) (I mean, you're kinda worried about not dying. ;P) * Asanjya blinks. "Whoah." (Not me!) Wow. Who did that? ... Right. [The first two behemoths get up to you, meanwhile.] [But it's your turn!] * Lazar mutters. "Shit..." (I thought the behemoths couldn't reach us because we were in the forest?) (Yeah.) ( Not easily, but they can trample through the trees :P ) [So! Big big monsters. The archers are concentrating virtually all firepower on them, and the spearmen are poking them while trying not to be trampled, too. Of course, there's still some fodder around, too. Whatcha gonna do?] (They close enough for melee?) ( Yep ) * Lazar charges over to one of the behemoths, punches it a few times in the leg, then lifts said leg off the group with a roar, trying to tip it over and (hopefully) knock over the other behemoth. (Golem Rage) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. ( Made by 3 ) ( Need a body roll, too. +10 ) * Asanjya busts out with the Burning Rage again, going for one of the behemoths. (These Behemoths are really heavy, right?) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6-2) and gets 1. * Atom rolls for Asanjya (2d6-2) and gets 6. ( Yeah. ) (Err, really heavily armored, right?) (Made it) ( Not so much, but their hides look thick. ) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 8. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 8. ( Shit. ) ( It's leg weighs more than 2 tons? o_O ) ( Yes. It's BIG. ) ( much bigger than an elephant. ) * Chomei 's bow cackles with electricty as he unleashes an arrow at the Behemoth, a bolt of electricity following right behind it. He aims for what looks like a weak point: The head! (Called shot) ( Oh well. Damage, but no knockdown. ) (That's if it has a head...) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 9. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 6. (... Dammit Dicesuke!) * Chie reaches into her bag and produces two things: a ward and a scroll. She throws the ward at one of the behemoths, then clutches the scroll and hightails it back a bit, moving with unusual speed. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 7. * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 6. (Made that!) (You just HAD to go that way today, didn't you?) [Lazar punches the behemoth, but has a hard time lifting the leg off the ground. If you weren't fighting for your lives, it might look funny.] * Chie shouts the activation words as the ward flies through the air. [Meanwhile, Chomei shoots the behemoth in the head, right between the eyes. But it's big enough and its hide is thick enough that that evidently doesn't reach the brain, because it keeps coming. Chie sticks one with a ward too. And Asanjya sets a huge blaze upon one. ] ( Are you attacking the same one? ) (I think so.) (Yeah.) * Segev is now known as Awaymancer (Any reaction to it getting warded?) (Wait... It's big. Heh. Bonus to hit. Forgot it would have that. ^^;) (Big enough to stop an armor piercing attack? We're screwed...) ( Calculating damage :P ) * Awaymancer is now known as Segev [You, along with the troops, cause a huge deal of damage to that behemoth, but it's still up.] [Enemy turn!] [The behemoths move forwards, trampling things as they do. And random demons attack! Lazar, gimme 2 def rolls. Chomei, gimme one.] ( ... and up comes "My Own Savior". Perfect. A song with the first line "My only comfort is in death, my only solace my dying breath." x_X ) ( Told ya to use Dynasty Warriors :P ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 2. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 3. (This is why I'm playing _Bach_.) 2d6 * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6) and gets 10. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 8. ( Made the first, very much not the second. ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 4. (Made it. Even if it was against armed attacks, I made it. ^_^) [Lazar dodges a pike, only to be hit by some kind of magic from behind. Chomei doesn't get squished by the rampaging behemoth.] [Players turn!] * Asanjya spends her turn chanting. (I really need a not slow spell. <_<) * Chie does the toss-ward-and-run thing again. Same behemoth as before. It's big; it can hold more than one. ;p 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 7. * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 7. (Made again.) * Lazar grunts as the spell hits him, but continues working over the behemoths leg, trying again to tip it over onto the 2nd behemoth after pummeling it a bit. (Golem Rage) [Chie sticks another ward on it.] * Chomei jumps back and fires a energy bold at the Behemoth's head, trying to keep Lazar between the Behemoth and him. 2d6-3 * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 2. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. (err, bolt) (Called shot, again!) * Chie yells the activation words, too. Can't forget those. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 8. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 8. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 9. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 3. (*blinks* Okay, this is just odd.) ( ... made the punches, not the tip. And on the tip attempts, I've rolled FOUR 8's. ) (Everyone's getting the same rolls as they did last round, aren't they? ^^;) [Lazar again succeeds with the pummel, but not the tipping.] (What the hell is with all the 11's?) [And Chomei lodges another arrow in the head of the beast.] [Enemy turn!] ( Still not dead? Oy. ) ( It's got a ton of hp. I'm taking 100 off automatically each turn to represent the troops attacking. ) ( How much does it cost to raise a stat with EP again? ) ( 10 EP ) ( Although I think I originally disallowed it for this game. BUT! I can't remember, so go for it. ) [Anyhow, the enemies charge! Lazar needs three defense rolls! ] ( What are the three enemies attacking with? ) (I think Lazar wants to ignore attacks that his hide is strong against.) ( Pancakes! ) ( Well, he knows it's harder to cut stone than smash it. =P ) ( mmm... ) Magic again, as well as a... (rolls) sack of iron potatoes, and the behemoth ( Gee, thanks. =P ) ( Sorry. It was random-ish ^^; ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-2) and gets 3. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6) and gets 7. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6) and gets 7. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 9. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6+2) and gets 7. ( Made the first, not the next 2. ) [Lazar avoids the magical blast! Unfortunately, this leaves him unprepared for the sack of potatoes, which smacks him upside the head. WONNNG! And then he gets trampled by the behemoth.] [But luckily for him, he just gets pushed into the ground instead of pulverized.] (I rather like that sound effect. ;p) (Me too.) [Anyhow, your turn!] * Asanjya fires off a shot of Burning Fear. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Asanjya (2d6-1) and gets 5. * Atom rolls for Asanjya (2d6-1) and gets 5. (Made it.) (I really need Extra Attacks for this. o/`) [Fwoosh, Asanjya burns the thing.] * Lazar pulls himself off the ground, shakes himself off, and goes back to work on the behemoth, pounding on its legs with double axehandle blows before trying, once again, to tip it over onto the other behemoth. (Golem Rage) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 3. * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6-3) and gets 4. 2d6+1 * Atom rolls for Lazar (2d6+1) and gets 9. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazar (2d6+1) and gets 11. ( CRIPES! ) [Lazar pummels the thing more, but lifting it just ain't working.] * Chomei unleashes another arrow at the behemoth's head. Com'on. *One* of them has to get through that thick skull. 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 3. * Atom rolls for Chomei (2d6-2) and gets 3. ( Made the punches, failed the body roll AGAIN. This is insane. How hard is it to roll under a fscking 7?! ) (I just rolled under an eleven. ^^;) [Between all of you and the troops, you manage to bring the thing down.] * Chie tosses-ward-and-runs at the *other* behemoth this time. * Lazar grunts. "One to go... oy gevult." 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 4. * Atom rolls for Chie (2d6-1) and gets 9. [The enemy sees this and those who don't get crushed turn tail and flee!] (Made.) [Chie sticks a ward on the thing. It's trying to get away, but beat it up if you want :P] (Err, tosses ward at and then runs away.) * Lazar shakes a fist at the fleeing troops. "And get off damn lawn!" * Chomei flicks off the running troops. * Asanjya takes a step back and pants a little. (Double duce action!) * Lazar lumbers back towards the others. "Sorry I no could tip over. Too heavy for golem, apparently." * Chomei winces. "Did your best." [The enemy runs, but many are cut down by forces that somehow got behind them. Meece cavalry! The other behemoths fall after a few seconds.] [In the end, not very many demons get away.] * Chie lets out a long breath. "S'okay, Laz. We did pretty well. Actually, we did *damn* well. Nice job, guys. And ow." * Lazar scowls. "And there is missing troops. I think we officially was bait." * Asanjya leans on her staff. "Wouldn't... surprise me. Whoo! That's some hard work." Figures. But we did it! * Lazar nods. "Let's see stupid Chinese demon hunters call us traitors now. Weenies." * Chomei breathes heavily. "We whupped'em good!" * Chie stows her sword and scroll in her bag. [It's not over yet! The troops are gathering in one area, apparently surrounding something that refuses to go down. [ * Lazar blinks again, and lumbers over to whatever that is. * Chie blinks, then points. "Think we should go check that out?" Definetly. * Asanjya nods and follows along. * Chie redraws her sword and starts heading in that direction. * Chomei runs after Lazar's lumbering. [Rei catches up with you guys, along with Cheng and Zhou Xun.] Look, it's Mr. Hospitality himself. Rei! Hi! * Asanjya waves to Rei. * Lazar nods, and smiles slightly as he sees Rei's in one piece. Heya Rei. * Rei waves. "Hey guys! Guess what? I bet that's Kali! And I bet she's not happy with us!" Ya think?! Maybe! Well, we don't really like her much either. Then she really no going be happy after I snap her in two. Stupid demon lady. Even stupider than stupid weenie Chinese demon hunters. (Argh. Must AFK a sec again.) You sure? That's pretty stupid. They demon hunters, so no can be completely stupid. Just mostly. Stupider than the blind Chinese guy who speaks English? ( Japanese, Asanjya :P ) ( WE're speaking Japanese. =P ) (Japanese.) [You push your way through the crowd and see! Standing in the center of your troops is a rather pretty woman with shoulder-length white hair, glowing yellow eyes, and jet black skin. Her only clothing is apparently made from human skulls. She carries a large, very VERY jagged sword in one hand. "Come after me if you dare! I'll destroy you all!"] [Session End!]
