Once Doc is in pistol range, the unlit cigarette in his lips rolls around, a grim grin growing on his handsome face(alliteration!). "Drop 'em both, no sense keepin' you occupied. Fish in a barrel right here friend."

OOC should I make rolls now or wait til the fields are dropped?

From his rooftop eyrie, Nyx covered the rest of the team - his sharp eyes ready to take any shots needed whilst his brother made his way down. If he's able to see the leeches attacking Polk, he will take the shot

OOC: Assume the wall is between Nyx and the hatchling

Upon hearing, "drop 'em both" over the radio net, Ethan reacted instantly and willed both force fields away. So far the battle was going well in that they were hurting the vampires but the vampires had yet to hurt them. "And that could all change in an instant" he thought to himself, as he waited to either defend his comrades with his force fields or temporarily imprison vampires with the same.

Polkatain
Sharp spines along the dragon's back rake against his attacker and push the monster back out of biting range (but still within clawing range).


Polkitain's stake is no longer useful, but he is able to draw a second stake and plunge it into the chest of the pinned vampire. The vampire's shriek is cut short to half a second as its lungs, muscle, and skin collapse into a pile of dust around a skeleton.

Ethan & the twins
Just as Doc brings his pistol up to line with the face of a vampire, the force fields vanish. Nyx confirms that yes, the wall is between himself and Polkitain.

Arulas & Kalista
Samuel reports, "Cyberknights, I've got movement just outside of your window. One of them might have slipped passed us somehow."

Calista says, "Now," to her steed indicating it was to cast globe of daylight.

Doc grins, "Time to die, again, you blood suckin' sumbitches!" Doc fires one pistol at each of the vampires, firing until the revolver is empty or the vampires fall.

Polkitain growls loudly to enforce his horror factor and will try a second stake attempt at the other vampire with a new stake.


09:01, Today: Polkitain rolled 9 using 1d20+3.  Staking Attempt.

A 70 degrees and sunny grenade goes off directly in front of the glittermount. the small globe glows with an almost (but not quite) blinding light in the still darkness of the night.

Doc catches each vampire in the chest with the first of round from each shooting iron. The vampires are pressed back by the force of the bullets even as large exit wounds open up in their backs.

The young dragon's roar drowns out the hiss of his opponent. The vampires steps back, perhaps realizing now that it maybe bitten off more than it can drain. The fiend attempts to dodge but trips over the dragon's tail as it backpedals. Instead of the heart, the wooden stake buries into the vampire's eye socket.

Polkitain winces when he sees the stake go into the vampires eye.

Polkitain took the wooden cross he had and pressed it against the vampire hoping it would have some effect.

When the Glittermount lights up below him, Nyx moved over to the edge of the parapet - trying to line up a shot on the leech below

Arulas drops the rifle and ignites his psi-sword. Blade at the ready he assesses the threats and responds.

Doc immediately moves to the vampires, firing again into their heads, just to be double sure they were dead.

The vampire underneath Polkatain bucks wildly. Any pain felt by the wood in its eye socket is not slowing it. If anything, it's causing the monster to frenzy. The hatchling presses a small wooden cross to the fiend's forehead. This seems to have no effect on the vampire in the mud. The monster claws at the wrist of the dragon's cross-bearing hand and tears at the scaly flesh with a claw of its own. Merely 11 points of mega-damage

Meanwhile, the globe of daylight casts yellowish light up and down the street. The vampire nearby dives for cover inside a small cottage adjacent to the church. Samuel reports that he lost sight of that vampire. Nix, however, saw where the monster went from his rooftop vantage. Arulas, Kalista, and Ethan may all hear the commotion nearby even though they haven't seen the beast yet.

Arulas' psi-sword forms in his hand. It is now ready for action.

At the city's wall (interior side), Doc faces the two wounded vampires. The two monsters dodge in opposite directions to throw off the gunman's aim. The vampire to Doc's left makes a move for cover but isn't quick enough and takes a silver bullet to the back of its head for the trouble. successful called shot to the noggin, unsuccessful dodge The vampire to Doc's right is even less graceful, stumbling into a cart full of garden fertilizer. The creature is both prone and steady as it receives a shot between its eyes. Booth vampires have stopped moving and both are missing the majority of their heads.

Samuel reports that Polkatain is now in an even one-versus-one wrestling match with single vampire.

The noise of vampires clawing through the walls is becoming noticeable between gunshots.

Polkitain growls surprised at the cross not doing anything and then feeling the pain in his hand. He took a wide swing that totally missed the vampire.


07:39, Today: Polkitain rolled 4 using 1d20+3.  Demon Punch Attack.

"One went into to cottage, Sam", called out the 'slinger, assessing whether his vantage retained any value of whether he was better in the thick of it. If the latter, he made way quickly down

Doc spins his guns like the slingers of old, reloading the bullets, he looks at the vampires to see if they are healing or if the silver did it's job.

Ethan was surprised by the sheer determination and single-minded ferocity of the vampires. Despite being meet with force capable of hurting them, the vampires pressed on, apparently heedless of any amount of pain or injury. It was unnerving but like so many other feelings during battle, it was a distraction he couldn't afford. Thankfully his training and experience were enough to push his feelings to the side while he focused on the tasks at hand.

"And right now the task at hand is stopping them from breaching the wall," he thought, as the sound of the vampires clawing their way through the wooden walls grew louder. He willed into existence a large two-dimensional force field, covering the inner side of the wooded barricade that was in danger of being penetrated. "I thought wood was supposed to be deadly to them but I guess they can claw through it with no worries. Great."

Over the radio net he informed his companions of what he was hearing and what he had done about it. "Vampires trying to tear through the wall, I have a force field up to slow them down," he said as calmly as if he were announcing that in response to rain, he had opened an umbrella.

 Arulas starts walking toward the area of the wall that Ethan was at. He draws his cleaned pistol calmly as he walks. He shakes his head "Clawing through wood walls. Not a good sign Kallista. Master or not a Yucatan vamp? Either way could be bad. Ethan in the case of them breaching the walls I want you to fall back to the river if possible. Cover yourself in a force field and don't look them in the eye."

Kalista nodded to her former student. "I can handle things here, go help the others."

  "I'm on my way Ethan." the knight starts a steady jog not exactly sprinting, but definitely moving at a decent pace towards Ethan and what he is assuming is Polk's position. "Polk what is your status? Haven't seen you in a bit."

"I think I got one and am fighting another one." Polk calls out.

Polkatain
The hatchling is not accustomed to wrestling something which has comparable strength to his own. He definitely isn't accustomed to wrestling something both small and compact. The dragon's punch goes wide as the vampire bats it away. After Polkatain speaks his report, the vampire works a hand free and claws at the dragon's chest. Roll a parry of 13 or higher. Failure means taking another 3D6 mega-damage.

Nyx
The elf needs to squint in the fog and the gloom, but it does seem to him that the vampires are bleeding out correctly. Their bleeding has stopped like a wound which is scabbing over far too quickly.

Doc
Doc is definitely in the better defensible position on the roof. He has no line on the vampire in the cottage, but he also thinks that the vampire probably cannot leave that cottage without exposing itself. All is quiet inside the tiny rustic house.

Arulas
The Elven Cyberknight jobs down the short path which leads to the hidden door in the wall. He can hear the dragon fighting something immediately on the wall's far side.

Ethan
The medic channels more of the primal power deep within him. He pastes a cast around the interior of the breaking wall. It's in place before the invading vampires reach through the wood.

Kalista
I am guessing that Kali is inside the church and within the light of the Globe of Daylight spell. Is that correct?

I'm calling that the end of a round. The next round begins in minutes (in real time) just as soon as I get another post typed.

Somewhere, a clock ticks marking the passage of another ten seconds of all your lives.

Ethan
The vampires tear out the last inch of wood between themselves and the town. They instantly begin clawing at the force field that Ethan just erected. Their combined damage-potential is impressive.

Correct, Kali is the last line of defense.

06:31, Today: Polkitain rolled 11 using 1d20+4.  Parry Attempt.

Polkitain won't lower himself to whimper but the claws were hurting him.
