The eastern front

Drano's first two shots have little to no effect on the bunker of choice he fired on. The 2 rounds disappear into the mound of dirt, without a trace. McCloud's full volley however have made a visible dent, and the structure of the bunker is starting to shift.

Comartin had a result somewhere in the middle.

The GB pilots would get the impression, that with enough rounds, they will be able to bring the pillboxes down, although it could take dozens of rounds per bunker.

On the map below I will assume everyone is relatively close together, maybe 10-20 feet apart from each other...?

Twenty seconds after Nuitari's first earhtquake,  three INVISIBLE and armored Deevils, carrying magic weapons are teleported among the group. They choose their targets immediately (Photios, Sir Ragnar and Sir Taloon) and charge in for hand to hand combat.  A moment later, Lady Aleena (one of the Cyber Knights) is suddenly teleported away and replaced by the Shifter Dragana, second in command of the traitors to Tolkeen. She arrives ready for battle and hurls a ball of Annihilate at McCloud, then begins casting another spell.

Please roll initiative...

Able to see the incoming trio of invisible Deevils, Photios draws his swords and rushes into the melee. Shouting out a warning to others, "Invisible attackers, look out!"

Wary of bringing any magic to bear just yet, he simply slips into a well practiced battle routine and brings his pair of curved katana-like blades to bear.


OOC: Just making some attacks upon the Deevil, will give up an attack to dodge any highly dangerous spells, or parry any powerful looking melee attacks that could be coming.

Init: 10  (+2, +4 w/ swords)

Damage: 30,36,28,35,30,27,35

OOC: 16:32, Today: McCloud rolled 20 using 1d20+6. initiative (6th sense bonus).
16:33, Today: McCloud rolled 8 using 1d20+5. Dodge (6th sense bonus).

I'm going to assume that doesn't count as "miraculous" so I await GM interpretation of just how frakked I am before continuing...

Photios appears to be having a battle with the air, while he and an invisible deevil go head to head, sword vs axe. Surprisingly, the mage is giving better than he is taking with the deevil.


McClouds Glitter Boy is heavily damaged, as he returns to his feet.


The Cyber Knights are doing better than Photios, and seem to have their respective deevils under control. The dragon juicers put a bit of distance between them and the skirmish and open fire on Dragana - all shots stopped by a forcefield around her so far.

The situation gets worse as another three deevils are teleported in. One charges for McCloud, and the other two head for the dragon juicers.

"EARS!" McCloud shouts to his squad, then levels his boom gun, deploys his anchors and starts blasting away point-blank at the incoming enemies.

Full-volume Boom Gun blasts roar through the air, but he doesn't have time to worry if his teammates protected their hearing before he started shooting.

He doesn't want to risk hitting anyone on his side while trying to score on the invisible targets, so he disengages his suit's pylons and gets out of the way of any incoming fire instead.

Photios continues the 'duel', battling his unseen foe. Sheathing one of his swords as he spins. Getting a bit of clearance as he starts to cast, ready to take a hit as he summons forth a blade of glowing golden energy to carry on the fight.

Still somewhere in 4th dimensional space...

Dyvalis reappears in the third dimension with a set of 10 knives orbiting him like electrons around a nucleus. He has his arms outstretched and a full suit of translucent plate-mail, appearing larger than usual. He puts himself directly beside Dragana, hindered by the forcefield, but as close as possible. He then unleashes the knives like a buzz-saw, hurling them at her (or the protective barrier)...
OOC: And doing a paltry 10 MD...

11:20, Today: Dyvalis rolled 1 using 1d6. Damage (x10).
11:20, Today: Dyvalis rolled 16 using 1d20+5. Strike.

He then brings his Plasma Rifle to bear, pressing it up against the forcefield and firing like a mad man.

11:25, Today: Dyvalis rolled 2 using 1d6.
11:24, Today: Dyvalis rolled 2 using 1d6.
11:24, Today: Dyvalis rolled 3 using 1d6. Damage (x10).
11:24, Today: Dyvalis rolled 13 using 1d20+5. Strike.

30, 20, and 20 MD...

McCloud fires off 4 shots as fast as he can, one into each NEWLY arrived Deevil and one into Dragana, and her as of yet - impervious force field. The Deevils are each knocked off their feet, flat on their backs. One managed to maintain a bit of balance and crumple to his hands and knees, but dropped his magic weapon, an axe in this case.

Photios, successfully parries his Deevil's attacks, and creates his lightblade. The Magus then lands a slash across the Deevil's chestplate.

Dyvalis fires like the madman he is at Dragana for a moment before she vanishes as quickly as she appeared. She is gone, and replaced by Lady Aleena, although Aleena has been disemboweled... the cyber knight reappears, spills her guts on the ground and collapses where the Shifter was standing a moment ago.

The Cyber Knights and Dragon Juicers are still locked in battle with each of their opponents. It was 7 vs 7, until Dragana vanished.

(For simplicity, I am starting a new melee at this point. Please re-roll initiative).

Dyvalis is so keenly aware of the passage of time that he preempts all the other combatants, imprisoned (it would seem) within the 3 claustrophobic dimensions of space that mortals spend their miserable lives confined to. He steps into the 4th dimension, as his form undulates and then vanishes.

OOC: Dyvalis has initiative.

The dragon juicers kill their Deevil's at precisely the same time, while the cyber knights are cut down and mashed into the dirt.

The largest, meanest and ugliest Deevil in the fray just finishes splitting Sir Ragnar in twine from the tip of his hat to the mid of his chest with a massive Runed Battle Axe. His brother, a one-eyed, half-brained nitwit has just been killed by a boom gun slug to the face. He charges for McCloud, leaping over his dead brother's body along the way.

McCloud smiles when he sees Van and the others on their way to help, he knows his armour can't take much more. The Deevil reaches him a moment later, salivating in anticipation of revenge. He plants the axe in the chest of the glitter boy, nearly piercing the chest of McCloud himself. The pilot thinks quickly, and while too close to take out his own aggressor, he blasts the one standing over-powering Photios in the back - sending him flying into a faceplant in the dirt. The axe strikes again in his chest, this time piercing armour and flesh, and severing McCloud's spine. He pulls the axe out and lets out a war cry over McClouds body.

The Blade and Tam are still holding their own against a pair of Deevils; the ones that had just killed the Cyber Knights moments ago. Leaving a total of 5 deevils remaining.

As the read-out on his scope's laser distancer counts down, Van is just itching to switch guns, as laser pulses roll off his target's back. 1500ft -- Close enough! He shoulders his CP-50 in exchange for his C-29 Plasma Cannon. Once inside of 1400ft he opens fire.

Reverse order:

Boris flies in just behind and above Van, and takes his time to aim with his Russian-made Sledgehammer rail gun. Firing at the fifth Deevil (not being attacked by Van, Keth, or the dragon juicers)...

As one of the few who can currently see the Deevils, Photios focuses upon taking them down. Using his katana to parry their attacks and then striking back with the blade of light.

"There are invisible Demons, if you cannot see them stand clear!"

Van, Keth and Boris wipe out the remaining Deevils at the East-side and meet up with Photios. Unfortunately Photios is the only survivor of the squad...
