Razgriz
Arthur
Null
Arven
Jelme
Lotus
Okom

Zephram reaches the surface with the mystical digging hands of the earthen element. He then stands aside for Razgriz and his squad to secure the building.

With the sounds of the church collapsing and dozens of gun shots, everyone is forced to yell in order to communicate.

Arven, Lotus, Okom, Null, Arthur, Jelme, and Razgriz charge up into the building - ready to strike down anyone inside...

As Arven's head peaks up to ground level, he is met by the glare of a young boy. Quite dead, the boy is layed upon his back with one hand covering a wound of some sort. Not to worry though, nobody saw Arven get startled...

There are no Coalition soldiers in sight...

Jelme moves to a window that looks out towards the church. It has collapsed in on itself, and Seidon is nowhere to be seen. However, there is plenty of debris shaking and moving... something is alive in there...

Atop his very stable robotic horse, Jelme turns to look at Razgriz, to await an order...

It has already been proven that Jelme does not wait long for direction...

Arthur checks his radars for any sign of CS.  Making sure to ready his P-beam cannon.

Arven callously pushes the dead kid out of the way and climbs out of the hole doing his best to stay away from the windows. Visually locating the quickest ways out of the building he waits for Razgriz to give some orders or something else to happen.

   Lotus clambers up out of the hole casually and moves to the edge of an east-facing window.  She will peer around the edge slowly, hoping to glimpse some sign of Coalition presence.  She will scan the area using thermal optics if nothing is normally visible.

Lotus and Jelme both continue to peak cautiously out their window, neither has reported anything yet... still silence... this deafening silence...

Some of the group get a familiar sensation...

Your mouth goes dry, and your lips stick to your teeth. Your heart pounds maybe four times as fast. Your face gets flushed and you get that tingly feeling on the back of your neck... yup... it's that feeling you get before something REALLY bad happens, before somebody dies, or just before you almost do...

The giant gunslinger takes off at a dead run his eyes have the crazed look of a caged wild animal. He aims for the nearest window that will accomodate the majority of his bulk. Diving head first as if into a pool of water he takes out whatever glass remained in the frame along with him. The blood pulses through his temples as the fear grips his heart. Yeah he always has been a litle bit of a scaredy cat but then that has kept him alive for a long time. When his fight or flight reflex triggers something else happens to. Something that made him one of the most feared gunslingers in the Pecos Empire. Everything slows down all around him. Juicers, crazies and temporal wizards sacrifice thier bodies and souls for this measure of superiority that comes natural to the Rahu-Man. Having instinctively dropped the Railgun all four Naruni pistols are in his hand before he hits the ground and provided there are targets he is shooting while still inverted in mid flip.

   When the sensation of imminent danger hits her like a wave, she draws her compound technowizard bow and notches an arrow.  She holds her position at the window however, watching Arven charge out into the open and waiting for him to draw some enemy fire and reveal their positions.  Better him than me she thinks to herself.  As the time elapses from the start of her ESP, Lotus will cast a couple of defensive spells.  The first is the trustworthy armour of ithan, while the second is a slightly less common incantation known as aura of death.  It results in surrounding her with a dark nimbus of purple and black flames.  Anyone regarding her with infravision or thermal optics will find her now completely invisible.  She even vanishes from psionic senses, although remaining detectable in the standard visual spectrum.

   "When the shit hits the fan, I'm going to flank them."  Lotus mutters just loud enough for those nearby to hear.

A second skin, made of energy seems to ripple to life on Arthur's armor - a forcefield.  He scans the area with all types of optics and readies his weapon, standing beside Lotus.

As the giant gunslinger's footsteps pound the ground, Okom slips out of the tunnel quietly.  He pauses at the top only long enough to let his armor learn the "flavors" of the ruined building.  Then, nearly invisible to normal vision and thermoptics, he moves at an angle to Arven's sprint, looking for a location with cover and a clear field of vision.

"Distraction?  Check" he murmurs to himself.

(GMified)

"Do not worry about Arven - he will do as he wishes. We must secure the next building. And nobody use explosives unless you have to - there may still be civilians or Tolkeen soldiers inside.

Arven lands in a roll and comes to his feet quickly to check his surroundings. In the window of one of the buildings, a Dog Boy takes aim with a rifle - and fires once before ducking under the window again.


As Okom comes to the window Arven crashed through he can make out the dog boy in the window, but only for a milisecond.

A second dog boy has joined the first and is ducking in turn with him. A human soldier with a spiked helmet is at the other window, ducking in turn with the third dog boy.

Together they fire cautiously at Arven and Okom as he comes to the window. Okom is able to take cover as pieces of the window sill are disintegrated above him. He quickly realizes this building is not armoured and cannot provide cover from energy weapons... a laser blast tears through the wall beside Okoms' head...

The building not immediately being blown all to hell behind him makes Arven wonder about his sixth-sense. He must be really on edge if these four chuckle-dicks are tripping his mental alarm system. Rolling up into a crouch he shrugs off the blasts from the energy rifles. With his left handed guns aimed at one window and his right handed ones aimed at the other he fires dual shots with his bottom two guns aiming just below the window where the shooters are hiding out. He hopes that the building is not made of reinforced MDC materials because his guns would blow right through the walls. Even if they are MDC though maybe the fire will trick the shooters into popping up for a quick shot. Thats when the upper two guns will let loose. Either way Arven sits and waits till they are brave enough to pop up and then he will pop them. After his first series of shots are off he will retreat back still covering the windows firing simultaneously but moving towards the corner of the building so he is not so exposed.

Shoot and move shoot and move thats what the big cat said. Not like I ain't ever been in real scrap before. Course throw about twenty more guys over there and he's gotta hell of a point.

With Arven continuing to provide a good distraction, Okom drops out of the not-so-sufficient cover he'd picked back to the ground floor, luckily the generally poor condition of the building facilitates this with a large number of holes in the floor.

Taking quick stock of the situation on this floor, he carefully and quietly moves out towards the back of the building, hoping to come around to the occupied building from another angle.

   Lotus mutters the words to another spell, refraining from revealing herself until the very last moment before finishing the incantation.  At that moment precisely, Lotus will vanish... It is exactly this kind of situation that Lotus revels in.  She doesn't even have to think back to her training in the mystic knight training camps, it has become instinct and reflex.  She can feel the ley line energies permeating this place and knows the psi-hounds are blinded by it.  Channeling the energy into spells near a ley line is almost orgasmic as time now stops for Lotus and she moves out from her cover.  With the effect of her spell now in place, she runs out into the battle field amid laser beams and projectiles frozen in place.  She throws caution to the wind knowing that no one can reach her like this, and she runs forward to the enemy position.  As she runs, Lotus incants the words to two more spells.  The first one being superhuman strength while the second one is a repitition of time slip to give her just those extra few seconds.  With the ley line so close however, it feels like the time slip is lasting forever.
   After the second time slip is activated, Lotus draws her sword and dives straight through one of the windows of the enemies' building, rolling on the floor into a standing position within.  She turns to see them all up against the windows facing the rest of her platoon as she stands behind them.  She uses the last few seconds of her time slip to get into position for a brutal sword strike on the spike-helmetted trooper.  Assuming she is successful up to this point, Lotus' attack will appear almost like a baseball swing, intended as much to cut the victim as to send him flying with her spell-enhanced strength.

Arven fires four times. The bottom two blast through the walls most likely hitting the soldiers. The top two are well timed and well aimed into the faces of the two dog boys up at the time. These Dog Boys, unlike most in the Coalition army are wearing environmental body armour that covers their entire heads.

Arven's force field is hit twice more before Lotus enters the house...


and again from the side - this time a human soldier


Lotus seems to appear behind the Dog Pack, sword already coming down upon the psi-stalker's head. Perhaps Arvens' 6th sense detected the dog pack ready to strike upon the group. Perhaps it detected the power armours responding to the dog pack to attack the group in the group in the house. Or perhaps it went off because Lotus tried to sneak up on 4 psychics...

The psi stalker dodges to the side in a roll, the 3 dog boys spin to take cover away from the window and the rahu man, and prepare to fire at Lotus.

"We need to kill them - and fast!"

Null moves to the bottom window to take aim at the enemy troops... quite cautiously...

Jelme follows Okom out the back of the house, saying nothing, only nodding when Okom looks back to him.

   Lotus understands that in order to fight her properly, the dog boys and psychics will not be able to remain hidden from her comrades on the other side of the windows.  She presses her attack, knowing she is at least as strong as all four of the combatants combined at the moment.  The attacks she uses are attempts to knock them off balance at the same time as deliver as much damage as possible.  She will also attempt to parry any and all attacks fired at her by knocking the weapon away with her sword.
   As Lotus' entire body is still flmaing in a black and purple nimbus of mystic energy, she feels fully capable to take down these combatants in the confined space of this soon-to-be-ruined building.

Any open targets? Any targets concealed behind buildings (priority)? Not for long, i'll blast at any open targets.. and attempt for their buildings if not...

OOC: Im guessing that 120 MD to the head of an armored opponent whose entire armor only has about 100 MDC would completely disentegrate the helmet and the head inside.  Is that an incorrect assumption on my part? Im just curious as to what happened when the two shots hit the dogboys in the face.


Arven is surprised that these pissants are packing as much firepower as they are. With his force field gettting blasted all to shit he decides to skeedaddle his big ass around the corner of the building to escape at least the line of fire coming from the bipedal dogs. He unleashes a torrent on the deadboy that has been taking potshots at him from the side though. As he retreats backwards to take cover around the corner of the building all four guns blast nearly nonstop aiming at building directly across the street.

As Arven moves to take cover he notices, the massive silver wolf glitter boy step up to the window and open fire past him towards the same window hitting the guy at least once. Arven takes his cover, and continues firing. Within a matter of seconds the entire wall is collapsed...

The mystic knight scratched the psi-stalker's armour with her sword, and made two  small burn marks from the blasts from her eyes. Lotus swings to parry the psi-stalkers' rifle, knocking it and him to the side, then spins to deflect the rifle of the large dog boy. The rail gun blasts Lotus in the face at point blank sending her flying on her ass.

Okom picks up the pace and body checks the brick wall facing the group. The entire wall caves in creating a massive dust cloud.

Razgriz eagerly awaits some... ammunition...

Jelme follows in after Okom, attacking one of the smaller dog boys with his psi-sword. The dog boy dodges to the side instictively, and pounces on him knocking Jelme on his back. The Dog boy extends rather large vibro claws and enters a struggling match with Jelme, each restraining with one hand and trying to dig their weapons into each other with the other... The sounds of the dog boy growling and snarling can be heard through his helmet.

Hearing the sounds of struggle from behind him, Okom turns and reaches for the Dog Boy's helmet.  From the set of his shoulders and legs, it's a pretty good bet that the canine soldier will be airborne shortly.  Should that fail, he'll assist Jelme with the coalition grunt until the newly-created door can be cleared.

When the wall collapses Arven takes a minute to try and get a feel of his overall surroundings. He makes sure to check in all directions to ensure he isn't being flanked. He uses his multi-optics goggles to check for thermal as well. If he is satisfied with his initial scan he will continue to stay crouched down and ducked behind the corner of the building where he can fire at will on the Coalition troops hunkered down in the buildings.

"These motherfuckers are already dead but somebody forgot to mention that to them!" The Rahu-Man yells as he leans out and opens fire in the direction of the dogboys who were just recently using him for target practice.

   The rail gun rounds never actually reach Lotus, but manage to transfer some of their kinetic energy nonetheless as they just barely shatter the integrity of her armour of ithan and send her flying.  With no further protection from the spell, Lotus will be relying on her sturdy armour - something she grew accustomed to in basic training.  She reacts by flipping herself back up to her feet while simultaneously activating her telekinesis and directing it at the rail gun.  She channels a force of 130 lbs (20 I.S.P.) on the tip of the barrel to prevent it from aiming at her again.  With her sword still in hand, she presses her attack, targetting the psi-stalker first.

Arven can hear, and feel the power armours coming...

As he looks towards the sound, he can make out two 11 foot tall Terror Troopers. One is circling around the church.

If Arven doesn't move quickly he will soon be under some rather heavy fire...

The dog boy on top of Jelme begins whimpering, as bits of melted metal and blood drip onto Jelme's face, sizzling in his skin. The body becomes limp... After a yell of pain from Jelme, he tosses the body to the side.

The other human-sized dog boy is sitting down with his head drooping...

assuming these mechs show up on my radar - Arthur opens fire at the closest, hoping to take out a leg or head..... if he doesnt detect them, he will continue firing at the infantry.

"Sonofagodamncracksmokinwhore!" Arven exclaims as the Terror-Trooper power armors circle the church. All four of his guns are trained on the area where he anticipates the first will appear. He is tired of trading fire with these bastards and knows it could get him killed but then he knows in his heart he is faster than a big ass walking hunk of metal. Fug it if I ain't fast enough ta squeeze two lousy shots at one of these bitches I deserve to die." He mutters to himself as his hands slowly lower to his side. They don't make it all the way down before the first power armor begins to amble around the corner. In less than one second all four guns are up and fire twice sending a total of eight high powered energy blasts slamming into one of the Terror-Troopers. Arven spins on his left heel back around the corner of the building into the area he just vacated. Not slowing a moment he dives forward and rolls up onto his feet at a dead run heading for the building occupied by the dogboys and psi-stalker. He will fire at any target he sees while running away from the power armors. His goal is to get in the building an get a better position to fire again at the P.A. Should he make it inside he will obviously unload on any troops in located within.

     Raz....having viewed the performance of the others was most impressed, but he knew that his time was spent better in analyzation that in any direct assault. Still, while the Mut-pack and there albino commander were effectively normal troops this close to the ley line, the addition of the terror trooper power armours would take more precise action. They were far too heavy to go head-to-head with, although there are some in this squad who would like to try their luck, today was not their day. With most in the once occupied building, he felt it best that they should know of the situation.

     "Listen up team, we have two heavy infantry hostiles closing in on your position. Two Terror Trooper PA's! Suggest leaving the area trapped, or concentrating you fire. Will slow them down from here."

     With the end of the communicae, Raz puts his radio away and begins the words to a familiar incantation. At the end of which the hands of hundreds of dead will burst forth from the ground around the closest of the TT-PA's. He hopes the others see this opportunity to strike. With the end of that for the moment Raz takes the oppotunity to find the ammunition of those whom are not tolkeenite citizens and resumes watching the conflict and directing his troops.

     The psychic knows that the electrical giants will make their way tothe group, and so he was going to be there to slug it out with the rest of them. He would be damned if he was going to miss the action. Immediately, his body begins to come alive with mystical energy as he makes his way from the main building over across to the other. Enroute, he searches his own mind and opens up those pathways that more directly increase his own reflexes and speed.

     "Lets Rock!"

"Let's wrap 'em up b..." Okom pauses and looks at Lotus' glowing eyes and her slightly-faster-than-you-can-track movements and continues, "Er, folks.  Company's coming for dinner.  He looks to the remaining Dog Boy and raises an eyebrow "You going to play nice, fella?" At the CS soldier's growl, the merc shrugs and leads in with his fists "Guess we'll have to put you down then, Yeller."  Though less elegant than the Mystic Warrior, the Catyr's fits pack almost as much punch does her sword.

As the Terror Troopers come into site Arven and Arthur open fire hitting the one that comes around the church. The one coming up between the buildings is second to arrive but returns fire upon its' arrival as well.

The one that rounds the bend around the church is hit four times by Arven before he totally comes into full view. It returns fire by the means of a particle beam rifle at Arven


Arthur hits the power armour in the head knocking it off balance, and Arven continues to fire his melting rounds into it. It fires once more before it loses its' targeting systems. Several of Arvens' rounds pierce through its' outer armour and disappear within it somewhere, as Arthur blows the head to bits.

It falls to its' knees then to its; face as black smoke leaks out from within...

The second terror trooper comes into view as Arven begins to run. It fires its' rifle once launching a pair of mini missiles at Arven striking him in the back (or his force field) and sending him flying face first through the window and part of the wall...


Several large hands and arms reach from the ground and ensnare the power armour. It struggles to break free one foot at a time, and manages to beak two of the arms... there are still 3 others, and it is pinned... for the moment...

The psi stalker stays on the ground and raises her arms in a futile attempt to protect herself from Lotus' strikes. One of her arms is completely cut off, and the other is hacked into and squirting blood. Lotus' sword chops into her helmet several times until the soldier falls to her face and stops moving.

Okom engages the 8 foot tall wolfhound hand to hand. His punches knoch the dog boys' head from side to side violently, then another knocks him to his knees. Resisted only by one successful vibro claw strike...


Okom continues to pound on the dog boy. The wolfhound arms a fusion block on his chest, and nearly arms another two before Okom breaks his arms as he would fire wood for a campfire, under one foot. Finally Okom takes the dog boys' head in his hands and turns, bending the armour and breaking the mutts' neck. The fusion block will detonate quite soon...

The deceased dog pack stand to their feet dreadfully like puppets and await orders...

Jelme gets to his feet, his face disfigured yet again - this time by melted metal and blood. He runs to the dog boy and lifts his legs.

"help me throw him out!!"

   Lotus finishes hacking the psi-stalker to pieces, her armour covered in blood, her sword dripping red.  She turns around just in time to see Arven smash into the building.  With a gesture of one hand, she assists Jelme by applying the force of her telekinesis on the fusion-blocked body to help throw it clear - to a distance of at least 20 feet past the outer wall.  She still has 130 lbs of force to throw around with her current expenditure of internal strength, which should make the dog boy quite easy to manage for the cyberknight.
   Lotus will move to a window to survey the battle scene quickly before moving out again.  She will cast another couple of spells before doing so - first incanting the words to another armour of ithan and next to targetted deflection.  When complete, she will stroll boldy out into the street and use her dragonfire flamethrower on the terror trooper (and subsequently anything behind it up to a distance of 100 feet from the barrel of her gun)

The first particle beam destroys the last of Arvens force-field. The second burns a hole through his serrape singing his flesh as it impacts his chest. Turning to run he almost makes it to cover when two mini-missles slam into his back and explode sending the Rahu-Man flying through the window taking most of the frame with him. Laying on the floor ina daze for a moment his back is a burnt and bloody mess. As he regains his senses he looks up to see Lotus finish mutilating the psi-stalker. He props himself up on a couple of elbows in a painfully casual position and spits out a mouth full of blood. Hey hon you know that magic armor spell you and I were talkin about. I'd really be very fuckin obliged if ya have it in your heart to hook me up with some of that shit!

At the window beside Lotus and the others stands a man wearing spiked armour. Covered in dirt and leaves he stares blankly inside the house...

Suddenly he aims at the window of the house with his arm, which transforms in to a massive canon. Then he says "i'm not waiting for u guys to make up your minds”. then he starts firing as he is running towards the building at close to lightning speed.
This message was last edited by the GM at 00:12, Sun 29 Jan 2006.

Okom's head snaps up at the incoming fire.  Seeing only a spiked outline before the figure blurs into motion, Okom assumes the worst.  "Lotus!  Coalition Psi incoming!"  Not able to match the speed of the oncoming "hostile," the Catyr merc pulls the Wilkes rifle around to his front by its strap.  Taking careful note of the figure's motion, he fires two carefully aimed shots at the onrushing blur, then heads outside, intending to put as much soft-but-still-difficult-to-run-through cover between himself and the incoming hostiles as he can for the moment.

Jelme yells

"He is not with them... he came from out there..."

The Cyber Knight then follows the spiked-armour wearing Mega Juicer to the next building, nodding at him on the way.

All four of Arvens guns were aimed at the guy who just popped into the window. His fingers ease the tension of the triggers when Jelme speaks out. "You damn near got your cock blown off boy!" Arvens guns automatically retract and he stands in obvious pain. Before moving along with the rest of the crew he leans out the window and yells at Lotus. Hey you crazy bitch since you ain't no good for sharing the spells why dont ya fetch my railgun while your out there. The Rahu-Man does move with the rest of the company seeking cover as he goes. Leaving the fate of the railgun to Lotus. He really doesn't give a shit and he is certainly not going back after it.

   The Mystic Knight turns back to regard the rahu-man, looking down at him on the floor of the dilapidated building, his back still smoking from the missile impact.  The continuing nimbus of purplish-black flames surrounding her gives Lotus an almost ghostly appearance as the dark eye sockets of the demon skull mask turn from Arven to the rail gun in the street.
   The large weapon suddenly jerks towards them and quickly slides across the ground and into the building to Arven's waiting hands.  At the same time, Lotus moves closer to the large four-armed d-bee.  "Stop talking.  Open yourself now!"  She orders him with a firmness in her voice that would put a chill in the spine of a lesser man.  Lotus places one hand on an un-burnt part of flesh on Arven's shoulder while chanting the words to an incantation.  A few seconds later, Arven receives the protection of an armour of ithan.  Once that business is taken care of, it is definitely time to get moving again.  She moves to follow the newly arrived man in spiked armour.

   OOC - Lotus would have used Arven's PPE to cast the spell and she would have taken the rest of his PPE to use for herself in the near future.  Armour of Ithan costs 10 PPE, please let me know how much she gets after that :)

Anniyan realizing that he is in the midst of a battle between the coalition and a well organized bunch of solders decides to cool the enormous amount of anger he has towards the coalition and he stops behind a window from which he can clearly see Arven. Then he looks at Arven and replies “I guess we betta do dis ur way”

"Coalition garbage.  You think they'd learn to build better mechs.  Lucky for us that they don't."

The second PA will face the wrath of the P-Beam cannon.  Arthur'll also look for cover behind a piece of wall or other ruin.

Once the yelling (in his direction) dies down, Okom shrugs, "Sorry, man.  You can take a free swing once we've got the corpse corps cleaned up here." he says to the new juicer.  The Catyr merc then begins looking for a good way to get behind the remaining terror trooper without crossing Arthur's path of fire.

Jelme, Lotus, and newcomer, Anniyan enter the building. The troopers have moved, none of them are here, alive or dead. Only a murdered dog, shot in the head.

Arthur continues to fire at the terror trooper, and the trooper decides to ignore breaking free from the hands, in favour of going blast for blast against a Quebec tin can, while Okom moves to a better vantage point to assist (Okom please specify exactly what route you plan on taking).

The Terror trooper fires off four armour piercing mini-missiles from its' rifle at the only Glitter Boy in Tolkeen, destroying the entire corner of the building, and caving in much of the ceiling. Razgriz is able to back up, to avoid the roof collapsing on him. Arthur returns fire striking it back three times scorching, and melting the surface of the giant armour.

"Thanks sweetheart! You make me wish I was about six feet shorter. Arven says to Lotus. Picking up the railgun he decides to tag along and try to be sneaky for once since he has been getting his ass blown off thus far. Whichever route Okom takes Arven will take it with him but hanging back and giving the man his space. Hopefully he will get to where he can take som pot-shots at the heavily engaged Terror-Trooper with his railgun.

Okom heads towards the building housing Lotus, Jelme and Anniyan at a run, but cuts across the road before reaching it.  It looks like he intends to cut through the two buildings to the right of the Terror Trooper, to shield his approach somewhat.  Catyr are tough, true, but he still doesn't fancy taking a direct hit from the massed fire that most CS power armor is capable of delivering.

     As Raz wafts his hand and cloak about, clearing the air of dust and atomized cinder, and then he continues with his the casting of even furthur dark  arts. Once complete, he takes a few moments to deliberate on the best possible tactics for the last and apparent Terror Trooper. "Team Three, Standby."
     Switching over to Aurthur's channel. "Tin Man, how do you feel about playing dead?"

In one tenth of a second Anniyan looks around the building and millions of thoughts about his past encounter with the Coalition goes through his head. As he thinks about them his frustration and anger burns up inside him like coal burning in a hot furnace. He quickly hides the anger he feels, so he doesn’t sound irrational and looks at the two running behind him and says “ there ain’t nothin here, but a bunch a dust balls……. I dun know bout u guys but I’m goin to da next building cuz I’m cravin for sum action right bout now ”. As he finishes the sentence, before Lotus and Jelme could answer he heads off to the building south of him on the map. As he enters the building if there is coalition soldiers in the building he will start firing his plasma cannon and begin fighting the soldiers in side.

Okom and Arven bolt across the street, turning down the "alley" Okom is me with rifle fire from a window in the same building as the dog boys. This soldier is wearing CA-4 standard "Dead Boy" New style armour. Fortunately the grunt missed his first shot, Okom and Arven hide behind the houses.... the SAMAS are coming...

Arthur continues blasting away at the Terror Trooper, while he looks for some form of cover, before those SAMAS armours get here. He fires and hits three times, then ducks behind a part of the house that still has a ceiling and two walls meeting in a corner...

Arthur peaks up to fire again but it has already fallen on its' back.

The 4 SAMAS armours come dangerously close as they ascend higher into the air (now at 150 feet). The building housing Arthur and Razgriz is completely leveled, burying them both in rubble.


Anniyan leads Jelme and Lotus building by building looking for more to kill. They enter the next house, again only finding the bodies of Tolkeen civilians. Anniyan looks from side to side quickly, and out each window. As Jelme and Lotus barge into the room, it is filled with random rifle fire. Two soldiers can be made out in the next buildings' windows, making good use of cover.

Anniyan manages to wheel-flip to the side, then roll to avoid the rifle fire quite effectively, then he returns fire - hitting the left one twice in the face from the plasma cannon on his arm. Jelme and Lotus are each hit once, before they duck.

     The sudden collapse of the entire building was unexpected to the Reptile Mage, and albiet a bit painful....it was an ideal place for his agenda. Reaching the moderate point of his spirit's magical capacity and the unforseen damage sustained by the building's construction...he made use of his recently cast spell, and decided to remain hidden beneath the rubble, knowing full well that the intense damages were disappated.

     -Assuming he can move to some degree....he moves around through enough of the rubble to assure him air to breathe. There he will remain motionless, with the powers of his last spell concealing him from all other scans! From there, he whispers, and issues the mental commands to his legion minor. "Go forth and draw the flames of thy enemies toword you. Let their fate, future, and positions be known!"
      He then switches over to Arthur's Frequency.


     -If he cannot move, then he waits silently, biding his time, breathe, and patients. Every so often, he will try to key the radio, hoping it is still in his hand after the blast.

     The radio channel comes to life for those in Squad Three..."Whoa! It looks like we have a wing of SAMAS and they just leveled one of the western buildings! Assistance may be needed!" Somewhat aware of his glaring nature, he lets his electrokinetic body field dispell so as not to draw to much attention to himself. Here, he figures should the PA's decide to close to within a couple hundred feet, he will let them all know who is the real master of technology, and hopefully buy enough time for Arthur and that Reptile (Raz) set over them some time to escape. "These must be the ones Tiger (Silvermasque) was talking about"

Arven rolls back around the corner laughing. "Those damn pissants are everywhere ain't they?" Then he hears the scream of the high velocity jets as they approach from somewhere behind. Placing his back flat against the wall of the building he looks up at the overhang of the roof and then down at Okom.Those sonsabitches are gonna zoom over any second. Their tough but they can be taken down. If one of em flies more or less over our heads I should be able to get three or four shots off before they can turn around and return fire. It don't take me long to squeeze these triggers. If you wanna help aim for the jets. A few well placed shots there will bring them flyboys down to our level. If not you better skin out. Switching on the targeting on his multi-optics goggles he aims all four of his guns up into the air anticipating the angle that the SAMAS will first be visible over the roofline.

Continuing into the nearby building, Okom will proceed through it, heading towards where he last saw the Terror Trooper.  He's well aware of the soldiers in the building next door, so he stays low, moving as fast as possible in a crouch.

   Lotus turns to face the onslaught of rifle fire without flinching.  Her demonic mask simply stares forward as her arms effortlessly block and deflect the laser fire back to their sources.  While doing this, she walks steadily forward, getting closer and closer...

PM

Jelme nods to Lotus and proceeds ahead alongside her.

Parrying laser fire with his psi-sword, he lets more than one slip through, then jogs towards the other house letting out passionate war cry; the kind of sound a man makes when he stares death in the face is only heard on the battle field, that is if you can even hear him over Lotus' grunting...

As Anniyan looks on at the next building he adjusts his cybernetic eye to zoom in to get a clear view of the soldiers in the next building. When one of the soldiers comes in to Anniyans view many visions of his wife being tortured by the coalition soldiers flashes through his mind. As he recovers from the shock of this traumatic memory he realizes he has missed a lot and he sees Lotus and Jelme running towards the next building, quickly he collects him self and sprints full speed toward the soldiers while firing his cannon.  As Anniyan passes Jelem he looks at Jelem with a smile on his face and says “ Imma drink sum blood today ”

Arven hides ans waits for the right moment to make the jump on the SAMAS armours.

Okom Bashes through the wall of the nest building.

Lotus and Jelme charge into the building between them and squad two, followed by the unexplained : Anniyan.

Arthur and Razgriz are burried by burning rubble.

Null is... (what is Null doing?)

The SAMAS ignore the rest of squad three and curve to come upon squad two.

Arven jumps out from cover and has time to fire only once from each weapon.

As Okom steps into the new building, the first thing he notices is the smell of gasoline then the sounds : beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep...beep... beep...beep... beep...beep...beep...

Thirteen beeps, all in rapid succession. All 13 detonators are almost simultaneously activated, but Okom hears every one of them. He has the chance to recognize the work of a very talented demolitions expert, before he is overcome with flames, hurled through the air and burried in rubble...

Arven is sent flying on his face in the street. Arven looks up to see Null in one of the windows of a building; reassuring that some of his squad is still alive, hoping (but only a little bit) that the glitter boy, the lizard dude, and his buddy Okom somehow manage to pull through. The sound of Jelmes' war cry catches his attention as well... and the steady descent of all four; now smoking power armours puts a smile on his face.

The four walking corpses slowly make their way towards the building the two knights have hacked their way into.

Lotus is able to deflect each snd every shot back to its source. The soldier, still determined that his aim is better than her magic tricks, he barely realizes his armour is starting to scorch.

Jelme is not as efficient and a few shots slip past his sword. When the knights arrive, both soldiers stand to their feet and back up, continuing to fire. Lotus and Jelme hurtle over the window sill, smashing through what's left of the frame and continuing towards the troops.

Eventually followed by Anniyan, he skillfully fires shots between, under and around Lotus and Jelme.

Picking his ass up off the ground Arven rushes around to try and position himself in a spot that will put the soliders Lotus is taking on in a crossfire. He wants to help her and Jelme out as much as he can. If this is not possible he will throw caution to the wind and just rush right up next to the beautiful Mystic-Knight hoping the mystic armor she bestowed upon him earlier will protect him. If he falls under alot of fire he will quickly seek cover however.

At the sound of the detonators' beeping, Okom barely has time for to mutter "Oh shi..." before he takes a short flight, then kind provides a soft landing space for a good deal of rubble.

In spite of the fact that he's currently wearing most of a building, Okom appears to be alive.  Between the short "Goddamnit, Karl, you owe me a new suit!" that comes over the radio, and the shifting of the rubble even after is should have settled, there's certainly something going on down there.

Arthur attempts to get himself the hell out of the rubble and retrieve his squadron.

Arthur manages to get to his feet, then helps Razgriz up from the debris.

Okom climbs his way from his early grave.

Jelme and Lotus hack their victims to death after disarming them, and chopping mercilessly.

Anniyan blasted the third soldier in the head 4 times while moving evasively about the house to avoid incoming fire, and the aim of others. His plasma blasts melt the soldiers' head into liquid that hardens to his chest, with visible signs of blood and bone.

It is quiet...

Arven wants to pursue the downed SAMAS but he is all shot to shit and besides nobody else seems overly excited about the idea. Walking over to one of the dead C.S. soldiers laying sprawled out in the street Arven unzips and relieves himself on the corpse. Im better off than this poor bastard but I could stand to see a medic.

   Lotus does enough damage to one of the soldiers she was beating to have killed him twice before she has relieved herself in a manner less obscene and more morbid than Arven.  She steps back from the corpses, breathing heavily and covered in blood and sinew.  Her armour appears untouched by any of the coalition weapons however, and she is quite uninjured.  Lotus turns and walks silently over to the tall rahu-man claiming to need medical assistance.  She stares up at him for several seconds while he pisses all over the soldier's corpse.  She seems unconcerned with his exposed flesh.
   "Arven..."  Her voice is calm and cold as a trickle of blood drips from one of the demonic teeth on her helm.  "...nevermind.  I'll talk to you later."  Lotus turns back to look at the rest of her group.  If she senses no immediate danger, she will remove her helmet and clip it to the belt on her hip.  She walks around a bit, looking in the windows of the nearby buildings while Razgriz gets things reorganized.

"Believe me sweet-cheeks when I tell ya I am looking forward to it."

Likely the content of "the talk" at least in Arvens perception varies drastically from what Lotus intends.

Anniyan looks around with his cybernetic eye to see if there’s any more coalition soldiers left for him to disembowel. Then he quickly realizes that this is his chance to join these mercenaries and exact revenge on as many coalition soldiers as he can get his hands on. So he looks at Arven and says “ hey u over grown cockroach who do I have to kill round here to join dis patty wagon”

Arven points to Lotus. "Her...you have to kill her cocksucker." Arven walks off towards the church having heard the new orders from his illustrious comanders.

Jelme looks to the new juicer.

"You have to kill the Coalition forces. And we are not a mercenary outfit. Most of us are mercenaries, but we are led by Tolkeen Officers, and militia soldiers are among us as well. Not to mention the two of us Cyber Knights. Not that I trust you, but if you are willing to fight the Coalition, then I know that Tolkeen is always hiring more fighters. You will have to talk to Xion or Zephram to work out a payment."

"Damn...Petunia!" Arven exclaims and then runs to check on his ostrosaurus mount. If she is okay he will lead her over to the church to meet up with the others. If not he will go alone bummed out. Along the way he is of course keeping his eyes peeled for any C.S. stragglers.

Jelme walks back to the church with Tecumseh, Fearless, Zephram and the Warlocks.

Jelme looks back to the juicer and adds :

"You had better be coming along with us now, I do not like turning my back on druggies with guns, whom I have just met. My name is Jelme, and I am a Cyber Knight. Kindly tell me your name and walk along with us, at this point in our lives the alternative option would include restraints."

He calls to his robot horse, making a sound like "Heeeeaaaah". The horse comes to him from the hole, he pets it as though it were alive (is it?) and walks along beside it.

Jelme's face update:
Still has the scars from the CS juicer claws that ripped open his face a few days ago. Now he has five randomly dripped-holes, revealing once again a metal face plate. The holes are from the plasma-melted body armour from the dog boys Arven shot. The drips landed on Jelme's face and hardened into dull spikes, tipped with red... from the blood that was mixed in.
