Karie downs a smelling salts and blets out a Rapid March as the angels close in. Arthur assaults Vaermina as Telethia dodges Vindsval's swing and whirls around him, sending a botl of ether at the half giant's back. Vindsval manages to get a slash in on Telethia as Thormanil retaliates against a white angel that hamred him. Lind manages to crack Star Breaker down on Corvis's skull. The huge atack leaves Lind wide open, but Corvis's thoughts were too scattered by the impact to capitalize. Jinnipher fights an angel. It manages to get a quick jab in on her shoulder before Jinnipher follows with a thrust of her own, clipping its wing. Siercon throws down a confusion bomb, leaving the angel generals staggering - he nearly triggers Glaz's attempts at reinforcing his friends, but the ringing in the empath's hears halts his efforts. Masson clumsily swings at an angel. The divine being attempts to take advantage of the former paragon's whiff, but he ducks under the swinging blade and sweeps the Brace Blade upward, leaving a vertical gash on his opponent's torso.

Gabriel goes toe to toe with Telethia. He rolls out of the way of a blast of ether from the angel and fires. His shot misses.

"Agh! Didn't account for the wind, no time for rookie mistakes right now, Gabe..."

Telethia holds the boquet of Eschaton flowers aloft. A trail of white light darts from it, touching Karie's, Masson's, Arthur's, and Gabriel's foreheads.

"Someone all four of us know...?"

The trail of light punges into the ground, and bursts upwards, taking form. An apparition of Octavyn Scelin joins the battle.

"..."

Gabriel scowls.

"No more of that now, darling."

Gabriel takes aim, and fires handcannon round directly into Telethia's chest. The angel glances down at the wound as she topples over.

"Charon... My darling... I'm sorry. So, so, so, sorry..." With that, the Memory Keeper is dead. Glaz and Corvis look on in horror.

"You bastards." hisses Vaermina, enchanting her staff with another veil of dark magic. She points it at the heroes. "Think it was personal for you?" Vaermina glances up sadly at the moon. "I've suffered enough losses for a lifetime, she didn't need to die too..."

The rest of the party trades blows with the angelic underlings - one decides to Doom Miirym, Arx, and Anemos, while another takes to the sky, ready to strike Arx down if left unchecked.

The Battle rages on!

[JimBee]

OOC: Did you roll for Jinnipher's chance to Enamor?

"Us bastards?" Jinnipher called from the left flank. "What about you godless bastards who picked this fight? Show it to them, Gabe." She gave an approving nod to the sniper before continuing the wrestle with her own angels. She continued to swing the Brine Blade at Angels A and B while trying to keep her distance in the back row. Their wings made them deceptively speedy. She would have to be careful to avoid another hit.

[Endgame]

QM Note: Rolled for it as you were posting, I think - it worked.

"We're using nonlethal methods -we won't kill you. And yet there's my friend, Charon's lover, dead in the dirt..."

Gabriel frantically reloads, rolling another shell into his handcannon and prepping the gunpowder.

"I'll do what I can, Jinnipher. Gotta say, not a fan at how that white angel is checking you out..." Gabriel mutters. Jinnipher can tell he wants to take a shot at him, but he knew he probably had bigger fish to fry - or rather, shoot.

[Flipz]

OOC: If Glaz was Confused and he uses his Specials for rolls of Damage and Free Hits, he should have inadvertently cast his protection onto the Hero party. I'll chime in with actions and RP later, I'm off to dinner with family ATM.

Edited May 16, 2016 by Flipz

[Endgame]

QM Note: I always rolled Confused as just using the enemy's level, although that may have been me screwing it up for 15 or so quests - not sure if it functions as a special mirror or not! I'll rool with your interpretation unless I hear otherwise, though.

[Lind Whisperer]

"If anyone feels like focusing on Corvis, now's the time."

Grinning quietly, the Black Knight quietly pulled Gladius out of it's sheath.

"I've been waiting for this a long time..."

First Action: Lind attacks Corvis from the Front Row with Gladius

(If Karie Hastens the group again.) Second Action: Lind Repeats, unless he rolled a SHIELD, in which case he rests.

"I'll do what I can, Jinnipher. Gotta say, not a fan at how that white angel is checking you out..." Gabriel mutters. Jinnipher can tell he wants to take a shot at him, but he knew he probably had bigger fish to fry - or rather, shoot.

Jinnipher squinted. "I... don't think they have eyes."

Nonetheless, Angel A seemed incapacitated so the elf dropped the Brine Blade and attacked it from the front row with The Beheader, twice.

OOC: You're doing it right - Confused is 1/2 chance to deal damage=level to a random ally instead of a poor roll.

[Lind Whisperer]

"We're using nonlethal methods -we won't kill you. And yet there's my friend, Charon's lover, dead in the dirt..."

"Seeing as how we have those Norn relics protecting us, the chances of you even being able to kill us are pretty small..."

[Endgame]

OOC: You're doing it right - Confused is 1/2 chance to deal damage=level to a random ally instead of a poor roll.

QM Note: That seems to concur with the research I've been doing in the FAQ/other quests. I feel as if it should intuitively work like a special mirror, but not only is that OP, I've never seen it happen like that... if I hear otherwise you'll get the barrier back, but otherwise, plan like you can get hit.

"Seeing as how we have those Norn relics protecting us, the chances of you even being able to kill us are pretty small..."

"...They've failed before, unfortunately. They're not foolproof."

[Kintobor]

"...They've failed before, unfortunately. They're not foolproof."

"Yeah, let's not dwell on that notion." Karie butts in, trying to suppress flashes of Erdathcath being ripped in two. "Octavyn.... was a pain in the rear in combat before, and I have no doubt he is now. I've got the vision."

Karie strums a note on her Finely-Tuned Guitar towards the not Octavyn, followed up with her continuation of her Rapid March.

[Flipz]

Karie downs a smelling salts and blets out a Rapid March as the angels close in. Arthur assaults Vaermina as Telethia dodges Vindsval's swing and whirls around him, sending a botl of ether at the half giant's back. Vindsval manages to get a slash in on Telethia as Thormanil retaliates against a white angel that hamred him. Lind manages to crack Star Breaker down on Corvis's skull. The huge atack leaves Lind wide open, but Corvis's thoughts were too scattered by the impact to capitalize. Jinnipher fights an angel. It manages to get a quick jab in on her shoulder before Jinnipher follows with a thrust of her own, clipping its wing. Siercon throws down a confusion bomb, leaving the angel generals staggering - he nearly triggers Glaz's attempts at reinforcing his friends, but the ringing in the empath's hears halts his efforts. Masson clumsily swings at an angel. The divine being attempts to take advantage of the former paragon's whiff, but he ducks under the swinging blade and sweeps the Brace Blade upward, leaving a vertical gash on his opponent's torso.

Gabriel goes toe to toe with Telethia. He rolls out of the way of a blast of ether from the angel and fires. His shot misses.

"Agh! Didn't account for the wind, no time for rookie mistakes right now, Gabe..."

Telethia holds the boquet of Eschaton flowers aloft. A trail of white light darts from it, touching Karie's, Masson's, Arthur's, and Gabriel's foreheads.

"Someone all four of us know...?"

The trail of light punges into the ground, and bursts upwards, taking form. An apparition of Octavyn Scelin joins the battle.

"..."

Gabriel scowls.

"No more of that now, darling."

Gabriel takes aim, and fires handcannon round directly into Telethia's chest. The angel glances down at the wound as she topples over.

"Charon... My darling... I'm sorry. So, so, so, sorry..." With that, the Memory Keeper is dead. Glaz and Corvis look on in horror.

"You bastards." hisses Vaermina, enchanting her staff with another veil of dark magic. She points it at the heroes. "Think it was personal for you?" Vaermina glances up sadly at the moon. "I've suffered enough losses for a lifetime, she didn't need to die too..."

OOC: Did you roll for Jinnipher's chance to Enamor?

"Us bastards?" Jinnipher called from the left flank. "What about you godless bastards who picked this fight? Show it to them, Gabe."

"We're using nonlethal methods -we won't kill you. And yet there's my friend, Charon's lover, dead in the dirt..."

"<And yet,>" Miirym points out, "<you have no problem with your leader killing everyone in Eubric over things that might happen. When you choose to impose a fate upon the world, it must come at a risk. It is the way of fairness.>"

Arthur sighs. "Look," he says, speaking diplomatically, "the only one in this situation devoted to death is Immortalis. He's the one who refuses to stop this storm, who insists Eubric choose between subjugation or death. All we want is for him to stop, to stand down. If I give the Phoenix Essence in my Duplovian Swift Halberd to you to use on Telethia, will you and your army let us go in peace? Or does your distaste towards death apply only to those you personally know?"

"You can't possibly trust them," Thormanil snarls at Arthur. "I've got about as much respect for Immortalis as anyone can have, knowing what we do, but I don't trust his holy thugs one little bit!"

[JimBee]

"You can't possibly trust them," Thormanil snarls at Arthur. "I've got about as much respect for Immortalis as anyone can have, knowing what we do, but I don't trust his holy thugs one little bit!"

Jinnipher nodded while batting back swords. "Aye, you should listen to that golden dragon of yours more often. They chose this fate, and we chose ours. People will die tonight."

"Trust them? I've barely met them. But I'm not going to squander a chance to end this with minimal bloodshed. It's a waste of valuable resources we'll need if Immortalis refuses to see reason again."

[swils]

"He ain't gonna see reason, that's what you two and the big guy were brought in for." he mutters, exasperatedly. Preparing to attack the new White Angel, E (while Arx repeats), he offers, "If you lead the charge with your little offer, and they accept, I'll stand down, but I don't see that happenin', they're too prideful. Besides, if we face down Immortalis, guarantee they stand by him... and we will be facing the big guy, bet my wallet on it."

"Master Nihai is right.

Immortalis has his own type of reasoning, and in its own way, it rings true. But either way - he doesn't back down. And his angels? They aren't some band of hired mercs like us. They were all fallen - cast out from their respective deities. But Immortalis took them in and sheltered them.

They aren't going to turn traitor on him."

"<Let us just say we have...something of advantage. Something that might make him think twice about continuing to oppose us. Something...irreplaceable to him. If Immortalis insists on destroying Eubric, he will have to destroy it as well.>"

Arthur shoots Miirym a quick, concerned glance, but chooses to address the Heroes and the angels alike, speaking Diplomatically once more. "Immortalis is causing more harm than good with his actions--and especially more harm than good to himself. As Miirym says, if he continues down this path he is going to cause himself immeasurable pain. If his angels really care about him, about what's best for him, they'll stand down and let us bring sense to their master."

"In the short-term. Not necessarily in the long-term."

-and especially more harm than good to himself. As Miirym says, if he continues down this path he is going to cause himself immeasurable pain. If his angels really care about him, about what's best for him, they'll stand down and let us bring sense to their master."

"You mean change his mind. That dragon has more sense in him than all of us and the angels put together.

And this "something of advantage" better be something ground-shaking. Because he let his own son be killed for the greater good of Moone."

[Endgame]

"I doubt that a Phoenix Essence can plug a hole in that angel's chest that is the size of a fist, as well as put all the blood back in."

"He's right. She's too far gone."

"And let us not pretend that the golden dragon is wrong either, Vaermina."

"What?"

"We are doing the right thing here, or so I believe, though I find this task distasteful. But we are definitely the aggressors here, "nonlethal" or not. If we wish to hold the right to change this place's future, we must wield the strength to enforce it.

Prove yourselves to us and beat us heroes, if you wish to be the masters of your own fates. But... You'll have more opposition. Immortalis will feel similarly. And he is more powerful than all of us angels combined. You have a dangerous road in front of you, heroes. Let's see if you have what it takes to travel it, shall we?"
