Re: 2.2 New Alamo: The After Party
Charlemagne shakes his head at Nazo. "Belay that, Nazo. My esteemed second believes he can make short work of them from the wall. I favor this plan, though I confess I was unsure of the limit of his ability to send water into their ranks. I considered following the sun-bearing Cassowary into melee as the more certain victory."
He turns and addresses Ryder. "My friend, I would still like to affix the stones to your vehicle, as many as will cover it in blessed sunlight. Let us leave the headlong charge as a tactical option. If Karsk should be unable to saturate the bulk of their force, I would see them run down by your impressive gift for the wheel. I will be at the fore with you."
Saluting and addressing Karsk, he agrees to his plan. "Once Ryder's vehicle is so outfitted, Karsk, please begin bathing our enemy. I will join you on the wall for a better vantage, and will run sorties to clean up stragglers. Ryder and Ashley, await my call. Barinthasheer must still work the gate, if you would, good sir. Lower it on my signal, and raise it again once the Cassowary is over. Vik, Thomas, attend to our guest. Nazo, you are relieved to secure your modesty. Rejoin Vik and Thomas once you are clothed."
He hoists his shining sword into the air. "For Almighty God and His Holiness, The Pope; to victory, to battle!" He offers his sun stone to Ryder, then moves to the wall to survey the enemy.

Nazo joins her blade to Charlemaignes at the opertune time caught up in the fervor of his call to arms, ” For the Pope!” She snaps a shoulder paldron on her transparent armor shut muttering, ”Modesty secured.” Sadly it does little to hide anything.

Ryder nods to Charlemagne. "Lemme just pull the Cassowary into position. Then we can rig it with all the sunstones you want. If the blood-leeches run away from the moat too far, then we can lower the gate and drive out there, make a sweep of 'em before they can get to whatever wormhole they've got nearby."
He matches word to deed, pulling the Mountaineer into position, about fifteen feet from the gate, just close enough that a jackrabbit start should get them across in a single lunge.

“Hi Reynolds, it me Barinthasheer."
“Bari?” Reynolds said as he and Nara came over to him. “Wow, you’re a…”
“Dragon!” Nara said with amazement.
Reynolds wasn’t sure he liked the way she was looking at Barinthasheer.
Whiskey Pete winced as Vik hauled him up, holding him out to Barinthasheer to take a nibble.
“I had no choice!” Pete exclaimed. “She was in my head! She made me help them! That wasn’t my son and daughter anymore, not after Soledad got them.” He broke down.
The howls of anger beyond the moat intensified, wild vampires with no leader, dangerous and frustrated.

Reaching out with his mind, he began stirring the moat water, ready to splash all the vampires at once rather than catch a few and let the others escape. The intent was not to just splash the vampires, but maintain control of the water and return it to the moat afterwards.

The Trimadore comments to Ashley, as they wait for the signal to join the fray, "You know, this world has a legend that the sun was the god Apollo, driving his flaming chariot across the sky. I kind of like that imagery here." When the gate finally lowers, Ryder guns the engine, launching across the drawbridge and into the scattered Vampires. Frequently, he manages to smash into a cluster, stunning them just long enough to let the sunstones do their work. One time, he even parks on top of a vamp to hold it still and let the sunlight burn it away to ash. Naturally, he frequently stops to let Ashley blast with either fire or water, as seems most appropriate to the situation at the time.- Charlemagne

Charlemagne's whirling blades of silver fury
Once the Cassowary is appropriately outfitted, Charlemagne gives the dragon the word. "Once more unto the breach, my friends. Drop the bridge!" True to his command, he launches himself into the fray. He intentionally cancels the light of the enchanted blade, drawing a cluster of wild vampires, each eager to drain his enchanted blood. Surrounded by a small horde, he finally lets loose the sunlight found in one of his twin blades. The silver element of his psi-blades joins with the silver encasing the two chainswords, each one a fright to the vampires. In unison, the four blades become a whirling dance of light and silver, hewing limbs, slicing chests, and decapitating several of the bloodsuckers before they can land even a scratch on the knight. "The Almighty will see your curse ended, and to ash you will return!" The blaze of sunlight serves to ward off those vampires that weren't caught in his initial burst, herding them either towards the psionically controlled moat, or the sunlight-ensconced mountaineer.Charlemagne

Re: 2.2 New Alamo: The After Party
As the ATV careened for the gates, Ashley fired a few blasts from her water rifle before jumping out of the vehicle. Using those big area blasts of water was too taxing for these numbers. With one gauntleted hand she undid the safety clasp holding her sword in place in the sheath at her side. Then she lowered her hands as the vampires started crowding in.
There was a puff of wind, curling around Ashley, coaxing dust up into a kind of lazy 'dervish' around her. The sword lifted from the sheath and hovered in mid-air before her...the blade shimmered like mercury, and even seemed to be almost a liquid in how it rippled, though it held its overall shape.
Her eyes flicked to her right, and the sword followed, moving almost too fast to track. Spinning, darting, slashing...almost as if someone invisible was holding it, the blade hacked and hewed at the vampires. It struck with horrific force, throwing their efforts to block it aside and hitting hard enough to throw them like ragdolls. The silver burned their undead flesh, and where a vampire dropped it almost immediately burst into flames...courtesy of Ash's other psychic talents.
The sword orbited Ashley, mowing down vampires wherever it went, or whenever they started trying to approach the burster. The advanced material of the blade...somehow both silver and something more...and the sheer telekinetic power it was wielded with ensured that each time it struck another vampire was ready to add to the pyre. A pyre that she could provide with barely a thought.

Fighting 6
The Bridge:Nazo followed her leader into the breech as it were. But was soon seperated when the light was extinguished. She stumbled as the wave of vampires decended. She fell knocked down by something heavy. A vampire was on her back clawing at her sealed armor as if it held something tasty beneath it. It snarled with a fury Nazo had not seen since fighting the Oni on the plains of Kyoto. It growled something uniteligqble but Nazo caught the gist even without her magic. Two other wild ones pulled her down even further. On her back she struggled. Her booted feet scraping the bridge, her fingers stretching for a weapon. The vampires pried open her chest plate as her fingers found a familiar hilt: Her celestial blade! Three seconds later three vampires were on the ground headless and burning. She rose snapping her chest peice shut and readfixing her wide brimmed black hat on her head. She smiled beneath it. Not today, not ever.

"Ruddy back-splits, I reckon this wanker'll hold till we complete our devastatin' of the bloodsucking vandals arrayed against us," Vik says, giving Whiskey Pete a boot to the ribs for good measure. "But don't think this means we'll be going all Hanoi Jane on ya, you git, cause your little Peter the Wee is gonna be in a vise when I get back, on the nonce and what have you most likely all covered in vampire blood and ash and dirt an' the like."Powering up his Fabulous Fist of Fearsome Fisting, Vik retrieves his daylight stone from the smoking interior of Billy D's power armor. Gripping the stone in his armored fist, he holds it up.
"Alright gents and, er, ladies, what say we go shove some balls of light in these filthy bastards' faces, like we was numpty script-kiddies tea-baggin' their mates in Halo, right?" he says, before launching himself into the air, his TW trainers trailing smoke as he descends on the vampiric horde and begins to deliver humiliating final death -- and not a few teabags -- to the unfortunate undead.

Re: 2.2 New Alamo: The After Party
Either I really need to learn their language better or they do Barinthasheer thought as the team conferred on their next move, the mix of strange references, new words, and accents leaving him only slightly aware of what the actual plan was. "Ok Mr. Charles, I will open the gate when you say and stop any of the vampires from getting in."
As the stones were being affixed to the Cassoway he turns back to Reynolds and Nara, "Yes, I am a dragon. Sorry I tricked you both and all the other nice people. I just wanted to make some friends and people mostly run away or they try to hurt me when in my normal shape." Standing there looking sheepish, he hoped they were not mad at him for the deception. Noticing the stones were in place and everyone was about ready he moved to the drawbridge. He could hear the growls and taunts of the undead on the other side of the wall change to howls of pain and fear as Karsk sent the moat crashing into them then he's given the word to drop the bridge and does so. The Cassoway goes screeching past the young dragon with Charlemagne and Vik not far behind in the air. Bari follows suit and soars to the far edge of the moat.

OOC Comments
While possessing no small amount of natural skill at fighting, Barinthasheer does lack much in the way of experience. A small group makes it around to where he is holding the bridge and begins to overwhelm him when a bolt of mystic energy flies from the wall to strike a vampire on his right. To the dragon's left Reynolds charges in to another. "Watch where you step Bari, I got your flank."Barinthasheer

Re: 2.2 New Alamo: The After Party
Knowing with his current state Thomas would be useful for little more than support he chooses to lend his aid in the form of sending out Globes of Daylight as support for the team. Once that is done he maintains his position watching over the prisoner. Thinking to himself, well if the man was under mind control then is he really guilty. Then again the mind control could only last so long, after that the man would have to be willing. A Renfield perhaps then? Hum, when Chucky gets done picking fights he does not have to Thomas will have to remember to bring this up.
