xinoehp512 he/him Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 4 hours ago, Telrao said: Telrao studied the new shield and poked it with a paw. Nodding, she turned towards the others. "So what do we do?" Lyna asked, grunting and sitting up. Hav put a protective hand on her shoulder, his reflective visor up. He grunted. "We need to get to that Pillar." The Second said, "It allows Kaos to have direct influence on the people here. A little like a direct line to this dimension." He growled softly. "And that... being over there is the Avatar of Kaos. Those threads are strong." Telrao nodded. "With our combined abilities, we should be able to at least break one of those threads. But..." she glanced towards the Second, and an unspoken word passed between them. If we have to die, we will. "It will be difficult. And may leave you all exposed. I can infuse you all with protective Light - it will reinforce your souls against Kaos' power." Telrao breathed out, and a flood of light left her mouth, entering the chests of all those around her. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them, they were a bright blue, no longer a radiant white. "There." She whispered. She looked up and slow-blinked at X and Matra. "You two have any ideas?" @xinoehp512 @Shadowed X took a deep breath. "We should get close to the pillar." The lines on his skin pulsed in synchronicity with his words, as if in agreement. "If we shield, we should be able to get there without being stopped." @Telrao @Shadowed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The silk barely halted the coin. "NO!" TAAron fell to his knees, then collapsed to the floor, shivering. He felt the Kaos overwhelming him, but he couldn't bring himself to care anymore. He let it take his mind. Quote What now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Well most go into a comma and when they wake up they are fully corrupted, but this one was different. Well most have been different. Emma just prefered to knock them out by holding on and overwhelming them with corruption, thus unconciousness. Main thing is that he is Kaos alligned and he can not betray that, if he recieves a order from the Kaos he can't go against it. And his view of Kaos would be positive instead of what it was before. It kinda reverses all that was there before, replacing the light with darkness instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would kill him, except if he goes full Kaos in time he'll burn pewter to save himself. This is wrong, TAAron thought. This is so, so wrong. I have to stop this. But he didn't move. He couldn't get himself to. He burned iron again, Pulling wish Duralumin on the last coin. He lurched to the side as it slammed into him and went through his chest. He didn't really notice the pain as he fell. Good. His vision began to darken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Platypus Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 13 minutes ago, The Wandering Wizard said: Two of Emma's sickles engage Platypus in combat. Her blades twirling and glowing with a eerie purple light. Clinic: Roof "Emma! You're better than this! You can be good!" Platypus parries a slash. "I believe in you. Wizard and Calano can help you! Can you at least try?!" Platypus suddenly stops one of his Blade's swirling strokes and matches into a deadlock with her. Twisting he sword slightly, he locks his hilt with her sickle's guard [or handle if she doesn't have one] and tries to throw the sickle out of her hand. Quote to avoid that, she'd either have to go into an unnatural position and probably break a bone (which she could probably do) or push her other sickle into his Blade which would leave her open to an attack. Or I guess she could attack him, but that would be hard as he was a good swordsman before Wizard taught him, he just didn't know Stances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was saying is that the position she is in now is a tactic Platypus invented to attack foes stronger than himself. But if you think there is another way out of it, go for it. I was just saying that he is capable of defending himself while keeping pressure on her blade. He is a little over-confident though. He hasn't had much experience with avatars for gods and their super-human capabilites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium he/they Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Mysterious Forest Path Calano ran, his body filled with fear. Fear of the highest order. The most fear he'd ever felt in his life. Piercing, bone chilling, blood curdling terror. The Whispers sounded like they were drawing closer, closer and closer. The howling had turned into snarls. The snarls were slowly turning into something else. Or, Calano was hallucinating that. Perhaps they were just snarls and Calano was so, so terrified, he thought he heard something else. He thought he heard his wife, crying for help. @The Wandering Wizard 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyna stood shakily, then tugged on her helmet. "My squad is ready to come out firing, of you people need a diversion." She gripped Hav's hand and gave them a ferocious, eager grin.

Ati16 he/him Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 Ati had been filling his metalminds, for about half an hour now. His physical attributes had just ran out when the tigers melted and he had gone into a hiding place to fill his metalminds. The rational thing to do was to escape, but he couldn't bring himself to do that. Not again. He grabbed his battle axe, tapped speed and joined the fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
