Dragonheir he/him Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Just now, J. Magi said: He does, as Aki wasn't trying to sneak up on him. The telepathy shocks him, but he'd experienced weirder things. A dire bear? It could be worse. He drew his sword and approached cautiously, trying to sneak up on the bear. Vall facepalms. The thing is the size of an elephant. He'd heard of normal bears shrugging of lethal injures for long enough to kill those who inflicted them. But he prepares himself to fight anyway.

I’ll play new characters one degree removed from the previous one, for the multiverse mechanics implications. Telepathy to Aki: @J. Magi Spoiler It doesn’t seem to be playing attention to us… if you’re planning to attack it, nod, if not, shake your head. I’d prefer a heads up if we’re going to fight this thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I stay in the air and hit it with some gravitational distortion, or fight with you on the ground? He flies closer, ready to fight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stormfather He/Him Posted July 10 Author Report Share Posted July 10 The bear suddenly growls, and looks completely away from Aki and Vall. Then, you hear large, thumping footsteps, though the bear isn't moving. Another massive creature, a ten foot high, giant ape comes into view, far off. It yips loudly, and the bear growls. The two move closer to one another, seemingly about to fight. Then the bear sniffs the air. It turns back, scanning the trees, and growls again. The ape yips again, the shrill noise sending several birds flying away from hiding places. Then the two of them turn back to back. and wait... and wait.... and wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stormfather He/Him Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 The bear continues its approach, raising a paw to rip away some of the bushes. The ape is a few feet behind it, and is scanning the skies for flying enemies. It seems as these two, though enemies, want other people gone. One guess you can make is that they are fighting over this territory, but want either of them to win it, not someone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vall flies sideways, deciding to try to fight the ape and leave the bear to Aki (J. Magi is on a trip somewhere, apparently, so we'll just pause the other fight). He gathers his breath weapon and breathes out a gravitational warp that hits the massive ape, turning it inside out for a second or something? I don't really know what force damage does... Anyway, it's moderate damage. I don't think it would kill the ape, but is should wound it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a deep breath, he tapped into his Ki reserve letting it flow through him and settle in his legs. Lighting fast, he ran at the bear while drawing his Katana. He slashed the creature as he passed it, skidding to a stop on it's other side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Vall’s flight works partially through gravity manipulation; he decreases his gravity to fly upwards, then increases it again, dropping onto the ape’s head, amethyst talons stabbing into its forehead. He waits for it to attempt to strike at him, then flies up again, trying to trick it into smashing its own head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonheir he/him Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 (edited) 21 hours ago, The Stormfather said: The ape tries to punch you. With a very large fist. Vall jumps up into the air again, just as the fist hits. He springs off of it, flying through the air fast. He’ll definitely have some bruises later, but he avoids slamming into the ground and getting crushed, so that’s good. Banking in the air, he fires off another gravitational warp at the ape, then uses his increased speed to get higher into the air. Just assume Vall keeps fighting, using similar tactics. Then, he can disappear, because I have a different character idea I think would be fun.
