Part 4.4: out of a rift into a vampire CS ambush

Post by Pender Lumkiss »

Conditions:
Warm Night, dim lighting -1 penalty to attack rolls (modern armor will negate this), and an actual rift is maybe 5 miles away.

GM note: So much Victory occurred you triggered an secondary reward. Your complications are no longer in effect!

Resolution for the interludes: Please make these complication rolls first in your post.
  • Loss ( Thanks Penitent): Players make a spirit or smarts roll vs fatigue, a fail on this roll means the character is exhausted until they can cry.
  • Fear ( Thanks Lucianna, ignore Pen): fear check from encountering the essence of fear.
Boons from the interludes:
  • Victory: +5 to a single trait roll during your first round.
  • Love: +1 Benny

The moon is full, the soft dirt of old new Mexico is crushed beneath the feet of the heroes. To the north laughter, tempered with gentle insults can be heard. The sigils on the command tent and gear marks it as the cs commando squad: raven company. It would seem the commandos and their support staff are enjoying some revelry for a job well done. Several Samas power armors are off to the right side of the camp, and to the left hand side is a spider skull walker and its crew bedding down for the evening. The PAs and RA seem to be unmanned.

To the south the heroes can hear or sense some trouble. The sentries for this squad are being ambushed. Those that can sense the supernatural get a feel that at the very least vampires are involved. Gurgled cries stifled but within ear shot of the heroes would indicate the ambush was proceeding well. The Heroes are certain that the vampires or whatever is out there that this is just the beginning!

A sentry to the North calls out to their squad mates, " Commander Kurling! Raven company a rift just formed south of the command tent, be advised possible hostiles!" It would seem the heroes unexpected entrance has not gone unnoticed. The heavy crunch of a cyborg's footfalls and loading of a rail-gun are unmistakable.
" Raven Squad, 20 hostiles to the south and probably some no good D-bee scum just near the command tent. You know the drill, Zeta Maneuver now!" The hard metallic ring of Kurling cuts through the night air like a hot knife through butter. It appears the CS commander is on the ball tonight.

Benny Opertunity
toss into your narrative, the last time you heard about the CS implimenting Zeta maneuver... Earn a benny!
After the bright light vanishes from the artificial rift 20 Archons lay at the heroes feet mostly motionless. One of them reaches out for Lucianna and utters, " Beware, the temporal wizard t'Fethic, he... meant to disrupt the Archon Rift, his power was tremendous and would have put you in danger... We were only too happy to do our part, we were inspired by your...Don't... Let... Our... Sacrif... be.." The Archon looses its strength and closes its eyes. Like the rest of the seemingly dead ones starts to disappear. It is in this moment the Resolute heroes know they have only seconds to release their own psychic potential or inner psychic strength to save the Archons before they truly die.

A wild Vampire lunges into the midst of the heroes only to be caught by its arms mid lunge by the angelic Serenia. Karl the imp Apok in training drives a silver dagger into its heart while licking the wild vampire's bald head. " I did it daddy I got him good... mmm tasty!" The vampire lies immobile to the side.

About 750ft coming from the direction of the faint city lights of El Paso are the headlights of what can only be Fizz's zone ranger coming in hot and heavy ( Yup, haha some one is driving it!). From inside the command tent just a few meters away a male blood curdling cry with a slight mechanical tone seeps from out beneath its flap... That is just about how your evening starts...


GM note about allied extras
They go when you go, sorry I forgot to get them on the map. Good thing is I will not attack them until they make it on the map. I can assume they stay near you or you direct them to go some place. Next round they are on the map for sure.
Wounds and PPE??
Wounds were healed and PPE/ISP restored... Thank the Archons
To save the Archons
As an action you may roll your arcane skill and "send" PPE/ISP to the Archons around you, it takes 5 PPE/ISP to save one, so all twenty would be 100 PPE/ISP
Zone ranger
The zone ranger is off the map to the North, about 150" off the map.
Initiative and Map
Welcome to the surprise round, I rolled a card for all who would have gotten one to see if the joker would have,come out. The enemies that get to go on the surprise round will do so after the players take their turn. For simplicities sake we will just let the players post first and the order in which you post is how the action happens. The below initiative notes is really just for the gm.
Initiative Notes:
  • Ashlyn: On hold
    Pen: on hold
    Vela: on hold
    Ndeare [dice]0[/dice]: QS
    Gryn [dice]1[/dice]: 10C
    Fizz [dice]2[/dice]: 9C
    Luc [dice]3[/dice]: 3C
    Krys [dice]4[/dice]: AC
Surprise round map.JPG


Gm Directions,
  • 1st step consult the top of the page and make any complication rolls needed( there are 2). Then consult the boons (there are 2).
  • 2nd step post your action and narrate your action(this is a regular combat). You guys go first in the surprise round, no jokers drawn, and only 2 bad guys are not surprised, they will go last. Your posts are how the action happens. Please use hangouts or the OCC comments HERE to plan and stratagize
  • GM, note please put a recap OCC at the bottom of your post that makes it clear what you did. Also call out any opposed rolls needed. If you like feel free to be specifically vague or dial it in to the exact square. An example is below:
Example
Action 1 with map, cast quickness and shot my shotgun against the nearest vampire, I move to near the command tent entrance and take cover
Action 2 with map, I cast sunlight smite on shotgunand blast the nearest vampire with my shotgun, then peak arround the corner and cast slumber on the CS spider walker soldiers, placement is square X. Opposed smarts vs 9. I then stay near the command tent using it for cover vs CS .
Extra note, if you did not have a chance to finish your interlude you have until the end of the quad.

The trip through the rift was jolting, and Ashlyn stumbled slightly before pausing to catch her breath. She looked down and saw the Archons dying at their feet, and then up to see them surrounded by Raven Squad, and vampires moving in from the south.

“Merde!” Ashlyn cursed. Zeta maneuver? Where had she heard that before? It wasn’t a frequent occurrence, but occasionally a New Alamo patrol would run afoul of a Lonestar patrol in Pecos territory, tracking some vampire or D-Bee or just a Pecos raider. Sometimes things didn’t end peacefully. Ashlyn had been on one such patrol.

“Pincer move!” Ashlyn warned the others. “They will try flank us.”

They didn’t have much time. They were smack in the middle of things. And the Archons were dying.

Ashlyn knelt down, knowing what she had to do. She reached for the divine power inside of her and found she could tap it once more. The demon taint had subsided -- for now. Ashlyn felt her magic flow and sent it out into the Archons to stabilize them.

The journey through the archons' rift was just as disconcerting as before -- perhaps more so, given Penitent's vision of Charun -- but the apok shakes off the memory and prepares for battle. His demon mask seems to vibrate with hunger, sensing vampires nearby, along with the more mundane but immediate threat of the Coalition troops.

"Someone should try to convince the fascists not to die on our blades," Penitent growls, already moving south.

Karl calls out. Thinking to chastise the imp, Penitent realizes he once again has weapons in his hands.

We will revisit that failure later, he thinks. Still, he makes sure to comment on the imp's form as Karl shoves a silver dagger into a nearby vampire.

"A little higher, boy, or you risk getting the blade stuck in the ribs," he says. "And keep your tongue in your mouth, before you bite it off."

He is stopped in his tracks as he sees the archons dying all around. Unwilling to let their sacrifice go unopposed, he reaches within, calling on deep reserves of psychic energy and channeling it into the network of archons, reviving at least one.

That done, he draws on the power of his mask to quicken his steps and shroud his blades in sunlight. The angelic tattoo covering his flesh flares to life, blazing in the darkness as he charges into a clump of vampires to the south, lashing out with both swords and reducing two of the vampires to ash.

Penitent has quickness and greater smite (sunlight trapping) active. His tattoos are glowing, so opponents can ignore any darkness-related penalties to hit him.

Post by Sir Ndreare »

Seeing themselves surrounded Ndreare knows there are not a lot of options when surrounded by vampires and Coalition but to fight your way out. Drawing his blades he prepares himself to kill some vampires when suddenly he notices the injured archons preparing to die.
Dammit, those being would make great allies, he cannot afford to let them die, but this is no time for running low on power.
Pressing foot against the nearest of them he begins letting them draw off his ppe as he channels it into them. “Don’t die archon, this is not your time.”
Channels 15 PPE into the Archons
d12+3 Spellcasting -2 for MAP (readying weapons)
Spellcasting [dice]0[/dice] + Dice Aced [dice]2[/dice]
Spellcasting Wild [dice]1[/dice]
Then activating his weapons he prepares himself defensively not know how rational the Coalition forces will be in this endeavor.
Then hearing the commander calling out Zeta, a standard pincer maneuver, best used for catching a weaker enemy Ndreare feels his frustration build. “There are vampires that must be killed first commander, I say we should ally ourselves to see to their destruction.”

Remembering the last time Ndreare saw a coalition force use what they call Zeta maneuver. They had baited a local gand of brodkil into coming at them, then when the bridkil were ready to attack they found the tide reverse as the Coalition Samas came from nowhere and in less than 10 seconds the whole firefight was over without a single brodkil to beg for mercy.

Rodney pops through and sees themselves surrounded. “Holy crap” going into stealth mode he radios Ndreare. “Now would be a good time to teleport out and leave these guys to themselves. They are mortals most will die in a 100 years anyways.”
Ndreare’s response was curt. “We don’t need to abandon this team. Now pay attention and stream me a good image of the battlefield.”
With his order Rodney felt no compulsion to act childish in combat and immediately headed up into the air above the flight of both the SAMAS and the weapons fire and started streaming the data to Ndreare. “Should I take opportunity shots sit? It will sacrifice my Stealth.”
Without even thinking Ndreare’s answer was quick and easy. “No, we may need you for a surprise defence.”

Lucianna leans down to the dying archons. "No. You will not fade. I have lost too many friends. You will remain and return home at your convenience, and not fade into the darkness!" She points the newly acquired Scepter of Spellweaving at the fading Archons and channels as much power as she can into their spirits. Four more archons cease their fading and catch their breath with a gasp.
She looks around at the dire situation. "I am familiar with this Zeta Maneuver. El Paso's Hope experienced this once. It is a force flanking maneuver with overwhelming force. They will attempt to use aerial bombardment as cover for the approaching flankers."
Lucianna's eyes flash with lightning. "They will fail."
She prepares herself for battle, refocusing her remaining energy to prepare a magical bombardment of the enemy.
Action Wrapup
Sent 16 PPE to the fading archons, plus 34 previously equals 50. 4 more archons saved.

Their return to the real world was just as disconcerting as their departure. Fizzwaite didn't know about the others but he was just has happy to be back on terra firma. That upbeat thought took a bit of beating, however, as he took in their surroundings. Well if this isn't being caught between a rock and borking hard place I'm eight feet tall. He thought disgustedly to himself. It's well past time for a bloody vacation I think.

Still, he is quick to note that the Archons that had both kidnapped him and returned him back were fading fast. Channelling PPE was second nature to a Techno Wizard though this was his first attempt at funnelling power to a living being. After a moment of resistance Fizzwaite felt the connection coalesce between himself and the Archons and he pushed as much energy as he could to the fading magical creatures.

With only moments remaining before the fecal matter hit the rotating ducts Fizzwaite looked around and took note that all of his gear appeared to be in his immediate vicinity. Unfortunately whatever idiotic powers that be that dumped them here didn't leave him time to pick his stuff up. Not if he wanted to save as many of the Archons as he could. He would have to make due with the items he had managed to grab while still in that infernal dimension.

Behind him he heard the shouting of what sounded like a cyborg ordering something called a Zeta maneuver. I don't know what a bloody Zeta Maneuver is but I can guess it won't be good news for us.

Vela growled and reached up to the fetish dangling from a thong looped around her neck. Through it she sent a call to the spirits, to her own power, and as they flocked to her air she transformed to her true self, donned the battle-priest's golden mask, and took off at a long-striding lope to do battle with the Dead once more!

Was there no end to them?!

She charged to the west and hurled herself into the vampires gathered there! Her claws flashed with sudden brilliance as she attacked, describing arcs of dazzling light in the darkness that left seared green afterimages behind. For anyone watching, it would be as if seeing a series of still images of a gruesome combat, flashing one by one in the pitch black of night.

flash - a massive cat-warrior clad in tattered armor wearing a terrifying mask rips four slashes of eye-burning light through the night while an emaciated undead creature recoils from her with fangs bared

Darkness

flash - the jaguar-amazon has gripped another undead monster by its head and those blinding lines of radiance are cleaving down from its neck to its navel, leaving unclean flesh blackening and blistering and peeling away to expose what's left of its innards

Darkness...and a bone-chilling roar.

As they arrive from the most screwed up Rift travel ever, Krys takes in her situation. Surrounded by vampires and the CS forces. Unlike many of her peers among her people, Krys is a student of North America and knows more about it than most. Zeta maneuver was one utilized by specialized monster and magic user hunter units. They would spend time learning their enemies and make sure to have their weaknesses on hand. One of her instructors at the University of Lazlo had survived such an encounter. "Vela, be careful the Coalition forces will have silver loaded in their railguns and the infantry will have a backup weapon with it as well. The rest of you be aware of the danger as well. The CS does intelligence and research well on their enemies, including us." She and Serenia channel what PPE they can to save the archons. She then waves her staff and a small rift opens up which allows the blinding radiance of a sun to stream through, bringing stark daylight to bear over the maximum number of vampires, blinding them as well as burning them. "Let's move towards the truck!" She indicates the trucks location and sets off in that direction.

Grynn is an NPC
Cat like Grynn grabs the arms of three translucent Archons and tries to give all he can.
Spellcasting[dice]0[/dice] ace [dice]2[/dice]wild [dice]1[/dice] bennie spent for extra effort [dice]3[/dice]

So 2 short of 100.

Grynn gives out a howl and disapears into the mystic ether. Slow and surprising, Grynn gives his all then disappears as if he never was.

Seeing the last archon begin to fade, despite the best efforts of the group, spurs Lucianna into a furious attempt to force more energy towards her people. She finds herself moving more quickly than normal, and manages to push her last bit of energy to the final archon. Their fade stops. "You have done great things for us, my friends. Allow us to return the favor!"

She prepares herself for the fight ahead, knowing she is low on energy. Perhaps I shall find out what this scepter can do in combat.

Spoon Fed Recap

Pender Lumkiss wrote:
The Remembered Vision
A series of images and words hit all of you as the Archons smile and fade. Note: this is of the past...

As seen from next to Sabazio as if someone is looking over his shoulder.
A warm pool of water is lit in a cave by fae and lightning bugs. Steam rises from the pool betraying both its heat and chill of the outside air. An old crone with no eyes, scracled auburn hair, and a crooked mouth is looking down at a half naked woman who sports a full sleave of tattoos. She naked woman is barely breathing and her eyes flutter in a dream state: she is too tired to move. The engorged belly clearly marks a pregnancy and in the crone's arms are two newly born girls. The iridescent light from the faeries circling overhead and spark-bugs display a large mosaic cut into he ceiling of this cave. It seems to be of the true atlantean people freeing a great creature from some kind of cage. A man, a less wise Sabazio, is crouched in front of the blind crone he has a dagger sticking into his chest and blood is dripping from his belly into the warm water. His hands are stretch out towards the two newly born baby girls covered in blood and mucus. One is whimpering and the other is silient her new eyes taking in the surroundings. Sabazio painfully whispers, "Why?"

Another man, recognized as Ul-Khavan steps out of the shadows and runs his hands softly over the dagger sticking in Sabazio's chest. Ul-Khavan's eyes are a blazing red. He kneels close to Sabazio and snears, "Why? Why you fool?" Ul-Khavan takes one of the baby girls from the crone with ease: the whimpering one "What was it you promised all those years ago Sabazio? When you had no hope left... You promised me in a dark place breft of life and hope. Just like now you on your knees you promised me a mighty gift. A precious gift." He stokes the baby girls face softly, his grotesque long nails just slightly drawing blood. The baby stops whimpering. " Perhaps you meant Neptune's Blade, but I like this gift Sabazio. You owe me... Right...about... here." The man touches one of Sabazio's tattoos on his arm. It glows briefly: hidden in his double gryfinns tattoo is a picture of a man in a cage! Sabazio gurggles something, Ul-Khavan leans in close, "What was that Sabazio? Speak up you are dying."

Ul-Khavan, moves with the baby girl in hand over back to the crone and passes his free hand in front of her face in a mocking fashion. He chuckles, " She really cannot see can she? You remember we found the old crone the Casino Royale? A fine place, almost my second home. You almost defeated Octolan that day... What was it you said, A final victory for the Atlanean people. A pity I suppose that an ill timed explosion from that kregor mercenary and temporal wizard bought him enough time to slip your grasp." He runs his crooked finger along the Crone's face. Ul-Khavan snears, " Tell me seer, will this gift do my ally's bidding, will she be the key to unlocking the atlaneans strength? Their ability to withstand the immoral transformation? hogy vámpírrá váljon"
Before the old woman can answear he slaps her hard and she and the other baby falls into the pool and begin to drown. Ul-Khavan removes the dagger and holds the absconed baby in one hand taunting Sabazio and pointing to his griffon tattoo, " Remember friend, if you tell a soul. I will know and both girls will die." He leaves the cave. Sabazio watches him leave, a flash of bright white comes from the cave's exit, and a single white angelic feather drifts down from the ceiling. Sabazio watches it for a second transfixed and unsure of its meaning. The wailing of his other daughter drowning snaps him back and he struggles but manages to dive into the pool rescuing her from the watery grave. He clutches her close to his face, the water lapping at his chin.
" I have you Krysesia."

End of Round 1:
Commander Kurling's heavy thudded foot falls come from the opposite of the command tent. His voice cuts through the cries of vampire's dying," Move it Raven squad, shake the lead out you maggots!" A third arm on his reinforced frame snaps into place giving the cyborg a distinctly inhuman appearance.
He then levels his rail gun shooting at Vela and Pen, but all he hits is a vampire next to Vela!
Shooting

Damage [dice]31266:36[/dice] ace [dice]31266:37[/dice]
A thousand screaming round of railfire shred into the nearby vampire and it falls gurgling next to Vela's feet.

The command tents front flap flies open. A low moaning of a man in pain can be heard coming from it. The inside is dark and nothing is in the door way. Suddenly those near the command tent feel something crush their spirit, perhaps even break it. Its as if your font of will grows ever smaller. Even the fleeing Atlantean suffers from this feeling. This is followed by the feeling of having your bodily functions turned off. The retinas in your eyes dislocated, your sense of hearing gone, your motor control shutdown. Those that have knowledge of the arcane know it is a devastating super psionic ability known as bio manipulation (Krys does not get caught in the area effect). Then Vela's mind is stretched, pulled and split as a fearsome psychic assault threatens to tear her mind asunder.

Player OCC
Krys
You know something invisible is at the doorway of the tent, and you feel like after it does what it is going to do it retreats back into the command tent completely out of sight.
Rodney
A beep on Ndeare's communicator would indicate the insolent droid is sending you pertinent info. You may or may not be awake to receive it. Dearest Ndeare,
I do hope this message finds you awake. It would seem some bald wack-ado stepped to the entrance of the command tent, he was squinting really hard, and waved his hands around... Data files indicate he may have used some kind of psychic persuasion to make you all think he was not there. But being of superior construction I was not effected. If you seek to remain in this world, you may want to retaliate... Where can I get a hot mocha grease bath out here?
Whistling in the warm aired night
A eerie whistling comes from near the command tent. A soft Da Da DaDaDa whistled at a perfect pitch. In such a savage battle it seems out of place. The whistling is interspersed with a faint soft voice, " Mama's here sweet girl of mine." Ashlyn, you would recognize this voice, heck even the whistle is a tune you have heard before. It is too spot on not to be your mother returned!
Round 1 ends with a fury of sunshine to the south east as vampire after vampire is disintegrated. The Archons survive and grasp their saviors in a beloved hug. This hug transfers some of their energy to the hero that saved them. Before departing they form a leyline through the middle of the area. Pen and Vela seem well off downing two vampires a piece, but soon they realize more are forthcoming. Forthcoming they are, the wild vampire's attack with wild abandonment!

Next Round:vampire's revenge

Initiative: there are three distinct groups, Players, CS, vampires. All parties receive the cards normally but high card in each group determines where they go in initiative: for the below draw, it goes vampires( Red Joker), players, CS(QS).
Players and villians resolve all hindrance related complications due to suite drawn for their individual character normally.

The wild vampires known as motosierra de la muerte bring their chain swords to bear against the lone Apok, and all three connect! The first hit hits Penitent's armor, but the second bites deep into his flesh and the third would appear to cleave him in two. The three vampires in unison wail over the roar of their saws, " Trouble! Double Trouble!"

A single vampire called Muerte loca comes barrelling down towards the Command tent ready to finish off Ndeare. He hisses while sniffing the air, " Elf!!!!!". Not able to make it all the way he busts out a run crossing the last few feet. The infamous vampire either sinks his fangs into an unconscious Ndeare or strikes him with his vibro blade with reckless abandon pushing aside the rifle and swinging for Ndeare's head! Either way the wild vampire sniggles and cackles softly with delight, it has been far too long since he has had the pleasure of an elf.
Ndeare, hits a 7, Death or 2 Wounds

Option 1 finishing move if Ndeare is unconscious. Option 2 wild attack with joker and an unarmed defender, oh lets hit the head! Oh forgot the -2 for run

From the chow line a gurgled cry issues forth as a wild vampire claims a CS spec force for diner. To the south west two silent thuds merit your attention as the two silent wild vampire killers Torcha and Sasha bring down their special force victims with ease. Perhaps good or perhaps ill, Fizz's zone ranger rolls on comimg ever closer to the heroes location( on the map in a round or 2).

Players Turn: CS go next!
Ok you guys are all up. Please resolve the attacks as they came. I have included a recap for you below...

The Good news!!
Good news, read and choose second
The Archons you saved, and you saved them all swarm around those that donated the much needed energy. The Archons form a small leyline running north to south before they disappear. The rumble through your soul bonding with you in a way that was unknown until now: Thank you for saving us, here is our gift!
The Bond of the Archon: Note, some of these effects are permanent, others are temporary. Choose 1, and if permanent add it to your sheet, temporary works until combat is over.
  • 1) Healing touch of the ArchonTemporary: Make a natural healing roll once per turn
    2) Magic of the ArchonTemporary: chose a beneficial novice power and gain its raise effects
    3) Soul of the ArchonPermanent Add +5 PPE or ISP to your character
    4) Heart of the ArchonPermanent Add +1 toughness to your character
    5) Life of an ArchonPermanent +1 benny for soaking purposes each quad
GM note about directions, ok so read the narrative, then check the badnews and resolve the 1-2 things in order. Spend a benny to soak or unshake normally. Then if you are conscious and alive choose your boon for savings the Archons. Lastly if shaken roll spirit, otherwise check the map and post away! The order you post your actions is how it happens.

Post by Pender Lumkiss »


Adventure card played by Ndeare for a Villinous Monologue. This villian has yet to be notice, and the narative provides some clues as to where she is. She was the one who cast slumber.
The tickle of crush sand echoes as dainty footsteps pat here and there. A soft voice echoes on your ears. A voice some have heard in the past since setting foot into this region and a voice one daughter knows only too well. Ashlyn's Mom!
" Just like he said you would be little kitten. He showed me a future where you killed me, he brought me out of time and unlocked my mind. The speed of thought is just amazing. I cannot beleive I never saw the world through these eyes. He said this would be my last chance for us to be together eternally. I just need to get Doc away from these coalition bastards." The voice takes on a hard edge, " So many of Ixzotz's children have been killed by them. Now is our turn!" The voice seems to come from near the Samas, a sweetness with a veild grotesqueness calmly sings, "Just go to sleep baby, mama will find the Doc and we can be together. Just like t'Fethic said."
The voice laughs carrying on the wind... "Doc... Doc... Doc Reid... Where are you?". The errie whistle returns, Da, Da, DaDaDa...

Just as Ashlyn hits the ground and the vampires swarm Penitent with their chain swords, a little white ball of fluff wriggles out of Ashlyn’s backpack, yipping and darting across the battlefield. It dashes between the legs of the vampires surrounding Penitent, tripping them up and ruining their strikes before little Blanca dashes back to lick at Ashlyn’s face and whimper. Then the wee pup looks up and growls at the vampires, standing guard over her mistress.

With a raised hand, Krys closes the mini-rift that allows the burning sunlight to invade the area. Hopefully the Coalition will take into account she just saved their lives. From their entry in the contest, she thinks these CS know the vampire threat as well as she does. So she decides to trust them. She calls out in a loud commanding voice, "The Commander said to get to arms soldiers! Vampires are in your midst! Take out the undead! Move! Move!"
Persuasion 4 to relay their CO's orders with authority
Persuasion [dice]3[/dice]+[dice]5[/dice]+[dice]6[/dice] (EE), [dice]4[/dice] -4 CS Penalty +2 Saving them from the Vamps = 4
Krys moves back to the rest, as does Serenia, who zooms ahead and lands into a kneeling stance beside Ndeare. She heals his wounds partially.
Serenia healing NDeare
[dice]7[/dice]-2 = 4 (1 wound)
They both see what Karl does and horror takes over their faces. "Karl no!" cries Serenia.

Karl's Stealth (he is able to activate invisibility for free without a roll):
Stealth [dice]24[/dice]
The night erupts into gunfire and blood. Penitent hears screams from behind and some sort of commotion back at the Coalition tents, but his eyes are on the ravening horde of vampires heading his way. Tongues lolling, they activate rumbling, whining chainswords and charge.

The first merely scrapes his armor, and Penitent pivots, turning toward the second, whose chainsword swings low, at waist-level. Grunting, Penitent blocks it with his big, rock-hard ... belt-buckle, a carved dragon scale the one-armed techno-mage in El Paso had worked into his armor upon request. Smugly, he spins again ... just as the third vampire brings its chainsword in a deadly arc toward his neck!

The vampire's murderous aim is spoiled at the last moment when Ashlyn's little dog runs yapping past its ankles, throwing it off balance and offering Penitent a chance to skewer it on his sunlight-shrouded blade.

I should reconsider my hatred for the tiny demon, he thinks. Perhaps, like young Karl, the mystic's mutt has forsaken its natural inclinations, and wishes to earn redemption.

Making a note to kill something later to offer the dog as a treat, Penitent returns his attention to the remaining vampires, who seem startled by his survival. He grins, his demon mask turning the expression into a threatening snarl.

"That's not how you use a chainsword. This is how you use a chainsword," he says, demonstrating the proper technique as he splits one vampire from crotch to sternum and hacks through the spine of the other, before turning his attention to their comrades to the west.

Over his shoulder, he calls:

"Karl, find a safe place to watch as we kill the fiends and any mortals who wish to throw away their lives."

Still tasting vampire sweat on his tongue, Karl looks around and sees the giant armored spider machine squatting at the edge of the camp used by the humans packaged in black armor. It looks lifeless. Remembering daddy's story about hiding in the demon corpse, he clenches and grunts, farting a little as he wills himself invisible. Trailing wisps of sulphurous exhaust, he starts to fly toward the looming monstrosity... but then he sees the nice nun lady lying on the ground, asleep.

She looked just like the princess in the story she had read to him and Lucy and Grynn the other night. The story had made Karl feel sort of funny, kind of like some of the bar maids back in the L Passo. Funny like seeing some of the lady vampires with no clothes on made him feel, when they weren't trying to eat him. Funny like he felt when he saw the pretty nun lady kissing on the blonde ant-landelion.

Changing course, Karl flew down to the nice nun lady and grabbed her cheeks, then planted his lips on her, worming his tongue in like he was digging into the inside of an ice cream cone or tasty beef bone. As he pulled back, her eyes started to flutter, and Karl grinned his biggest and bestest grin.

"Hello, pretty girlfriend. Now we're married!"

Summary: Two Bennies used. Damage soaked. Kills vampires at K22 and L22 (with attacks doing 2+ wounds and 3+ wounds); casts greater armor with a raise for +10 MDC Armor; kills the vampire at K23 (with an attack dealing 1+ wound).

Fizzwaite shakes off the sudden feeling of drowsiness that washes over him momentarily and sees Luci and Ash fall to the ground out cold. He also sees what Karl does next. Ewwwwww. Shaking his head his makes and adjustment to his lantern and instantly the light of day bathes the area around him and his companions. The light also allows him to spot his remaining gear strewn on the ground around him. Kneeling next to his Evasion Field Generator Harness he quickly slips the harness over his head and keys in the activation code. With a reassuring hum the electro-arcane field springs up around him ready to deflect harm away from the diminutive gnome.

Re: Part 4.4: out of a rift into a vampire CS ambush

Post by Vela »

Vela roars in defiance as vampires bound in, eyes glowing hellishly in the darkness! She twists and turns, laying about her, but the vampires are quick and experienced pack hunters. Even a tiger fears the pack of wolves! One slips through her guard, grabs her arm and bites. As she reaches down to deal with him, another lunges in on her exposed flank! A third leaps onto her back! Even then though, the werejaguar thrashes and seems about to regain control of the situation when...

A blast of psionic power! Vela's scream is piercing, haunting...her brain and mind are scoured by unholy force. Her parasitic attackers begin to drag her to the ground, eager to begin the feast. Were-creatures do not die quickly, and can feed a multitude of vampires before being put to silver.

One clawed hand finds the clasp of her cloak, and a name blazes across her reeling thoughts, as bright as lightning rippling across the sky at night.

"CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC!!"

And then there truly IS lightning in the sky. A fork of it erupting from a bank of roiling clouds that has appeared from nothingness to blot out the stars overhead. Thunder rolls over the earth like a wave, pushing a ripple of dust and shaking the ground ever so slightly.

Then falls the rain.

There is no gentle lead-up, no pitter patter that precedes the downpour. It comes as if someone in the heavens had broken a pipe, a sudden and torrential storm that immediately begins forming puddles faster than even the parched desert soil can soak them up. In seconds the falling water has made a grey haze that makes it hard to see, hard to hear, whatever's happening under those black clouds that hang unnaturally over the spot Vela was. Over the roar of rain and the peal of thunder only two sounds rise.

Vela laughing, and the screams of vampires!

Thinking to himself this is a tight spot and not one he enjoys Ndreare looks around. Too much going on and this vampire right on top of him is pissing him off.

This Mega Power version of deflection grants a −4 effect on a success, or −6 on a raise.
The flickering effect is so potent that ranged attacks suffer and additional -1 to hit him.

Ndreare activates and readies both swords in his hands.

Soaked 2 wounds!
The seething stench of burning zizzling flesh comes from Vella's rain storm ( near the east most edge by the Samas). A loud howl screams through the rain, the distorted voice of Ashlyn's mom, " I want my daughter, kill the rest especially the Elf!!

CS Commander Kerling, move to ND and quick draw with his thrid arm his very sharp silver vibro weapon and stap it into the vampire. He stabs the vamp hard through the gut, and leaves the sword impaling the vamp to the ground.

CS troopers load into the spider skull walker
CS Troopers currently engaged draw knives and attack the vamps, others move to back of the command tent to grab their gear. A few skelebots with silver vibro swords take down a vamp or 2
The CS troopers hurriedly move out, some grabbing their weapons out side near the command tent, others make a mad dash for their power armor, some brave ones join the skelebots in fending off the vicious undead nightmares. Shots and silvered vibro blades both ring and slash out. Only a few vampires are stopped. The Spider Skull walker team heads in to the robot armor sealing the doors tight ( sorry Karl chance lost).

The CS commander steps near Ndreare perhaps heeding Krys's words, or perhaps not. But instead of attacking Ndreare with a freshly drawn silvered vibrosword he plunges it into the nearby vampire's gut staking it to the ground. His metallic drone is both menacing and monotone, " Keep the sun light going little D-Bee and we might let you live."

(Crit Failure for Luc, sorry Nd your sheet says they attack you)
The CS borg Commander's head tilts just so and then looks concerned at the command tent as a bloody bald Intelligence officer is thrown out by three vampires. One of which has a human sized duffel bag with someone wriggling in it. The duffel has its fair share of blood on it, whether it is from the person inside or from the bleeding human just tossed like a rag doll is up for debate. The sunshine surprises and sizzles, but perhaps due to a bit of luck or spf 100 they only pause briefly( 3 bennies to unshake). While the vamp with the duffel leaps up onto the command tent and scurries down its east side, the other two grip their vibro blades and go to work. The magical duo of Simon and Garfunkle plays sweet sweet wild music as they both gang up on Nd, crying "Elf!!!" Both nearly miss Ndreare as his deflection field guards him well.

Your communicator beeps! A message from your little droid. Master Ndreare, I hope this finds you in good health and spirit. If the two vampires end up killing you can I keep your car. Hehe, no seriously, can I? Incidentally I have taken a position for maximum damage to wipe them out. Please just give me the high sign and I will engage. I believe a mocking bird call will suffice. Where are the car keys just in case?
The Archon Rift begins to fade but not before an Archon emerges. " Thank you heroes! Your friend will be returned shortly, and..." He moves to Lucianna and touches her briefly on the forehead. " Awake Lucianna, we are always with you, now and forever!" A bright blue glow erupts and he disappears... The Rift lingers for a couple of seconds then fades from existence. Lucianna's eyes flutter open just long enough...

Not to be left out, and still desperately wanting her daughter back Ashlyn's mom roar's over the torrential down poor, " Daughter, please. We must be together! He gave us a second chance. I don't care about Doc, I came for you!!" Spittle comes flying out nearly hitting Ndreare in the helmet. " Apok! Jaguar, I spit at thee. Let me take my daughter in peace and we will no longer be a bother!" Those near the command tent (which is everyone, except for Vela, Pen, Rod, vampires and CS commander) feel once again, your limbs lock and you begin to crumple to the ground. Your eyes grow dim, and you can hear nothing. Even to cry out in this state is all but impossible.

Then Pen feels a presence in his mind. It drops a dirty thought into it setting it on fire! Vela, the earth beneath you seems to swallow you whole, as a spector of death complete with a sythe beckons you into your grave.

Luc read this first
Perhaps it is due to the surrounding energy given off by the Archons, but as there Rift fades, an Archon, Than, reaches through it waking you up just in time to suffer the effects of a second Bio Manipulation slumber. Then the rift fades and the Archons are no more.
  • Basically if you make your rolls against Slumber a second time you can act normally on the joker you drew. Note, the slumber happens before the draw, so no +2 from joker until your actual action is posted.
  • Archon on Archon Touching, you gain the edge Power Surge for this round.

  • For each round the combat goes a progressively larger pool of vampires is added to the map. They act on the vampire turn, with the exception of a joker draw. After 5d10 vampires are drawn, no more will come and once all vampires are cleared combat ends with the arrival of reinforcements and the zone ranger.
    • Dice can ace
  • If the CS is convinced to aid the players, truly aid them and not just dick around.
    • Persuasion rolls can accomplish this! All you need are 5 successes, 1 success has been achieved.
  • If the vampires capture and make it off the map with Doc Reid!! Combat ends at the end of the round as the vampires leave the scene with their quarry. The vampire marked with the green aura has the Doc!
How Round 3 begins.
Fittz' Zone range continues to rumble getting ever closer, it swerves briefly possible to ram some vampires. Pen and Vela can tell more vampires are approaching but perhaps the light, and rain has given many a moment to pause. A lone vampires seems to be absconding with presumably Doc Reid as it cries out to his unholy allies, " I got him I got him!! I got Reid!". The CS seem to be gearing up but whether to assault the Heroes or Vampires is still unclear. An observant hero may hear ( Notice hearing TN 8) the whistle of Ashlyn's mom, Da.. Da... Dadada. coming from the bottom row of Samas.
Stealth and greater invisibility
[dice]19[/dice] Wild [dice]20[/dice]
Ashlyn
In your mind you here a raging voice. Mystic, wake up! Something foul is upon us worming its tongue into you. Strike out, use my power to send it off this mortal plane!!
Grynn
The Archons in a limbo like world swarm arround Grynn. Its like you are in a pool of tingling magic. One of them floats to you and kisses you on the forehead, " You saved us mighty Dragon, but it is time to go back."
---Place yourself anywhere on the map in any form.

Player directions: resolve the below step 1 things, then players can post their actions. Actions happen as players post. After players post CS post then vampire post.
Step 1 Bad Things
All players( not Vela and Pen or Rod): Bio manipulation, greater slumber.
  • Spirit -4 and on a failure you are effectively asleep ( although given the trapping more like deprived of senses and paralyzed). Takes a full round for someone to wake you up.
Vela: Death's grave, greater entangle
  • Agility vs 8, failure and you are fully entangled( no skills related to agility or strength), takes an action to break free at -4 (str or agility), someone else can attempt to free you at -4.
  • Spector of Death Trapping. Spirit roll (TN 4) or become fatigued as you are confronted by a specter of death.
:
Pen: Mind burst, Greater Bolt: shaken and a vigor roll vs fatigue as your mind oozes and bleeds.

No sight, no sound, no feeling. Ashlyn was locked into her head. She struggled, trying to free herself from whatever magic held her.

Mystic, wake up! Something foul is upon us worming its tongue into you. Strike out, use my power to send it off this mortal plane! the dragon’s voice raged in Ashlyn’s mind.

Ashlyn felt sensation return, felt the wriggling of something in her mouth. Her eyes fluttered open.

Karl grinned his biggest and bestest grin.

"Hello, pretty girlfriend. Now we're married!"

“Madre de Dios!” Ashlyn gagged, spluttering and spitting. “Get off me, you foul crea--” Ashlyn struggled, feeling the pull of magic again. “No! Not again…”

"Daughter, please. We must be together! He gave us a second chance. I don't care about Doc, I came for you!" Ashlyn’s mother’s voice echoed over the din of battle.

“If this true, then show yourself, Mama!” Ashlyn slurred as she tried to fight off the magic.

Aslyn shook her head vigorously, shaking off the magic, and the temptation to grab Karl and lecture him on how to treat women. That would have to come later. For now, she had work to do!

Ashlyn focused on the vampire dragging off the duffel bag. “No! He is mine! Bring me the bag!” Ashlyn ordered, her mind lashing out to grab control of the vampire’s mind.

Penitent stumbles for a moment as something slams into his head, tearing at his mind, but quickly shakes it off.

"You'll have to hit somewhere more sensitive if you want to hurt me," he says to no one in particular, his focus on the snarling vampires in front of him. In a flurry of blood and gristle, the apok cuts down all three of the vampires nearby -- the last ducks a blow from Durendal only to be hacked in two by Penitent's buzzing chainsword.

Penitent is starting to cast about for more foes when he hears Ashlyn call out in anger behind him, then a vampire's silky voice saying something about "the Doc." Spinning around, Penitent sprints through the night toward the voice, finding the enthralled fiend standing over a squirming duffle bag. On the way, he passes a couple of shell-shocked Dead Boys.

"We are killing vampires. So should you," he says, twisting the maw of the demon mask in what he hopes is a friendly grin.

[Two actions due to quickness; Killed three vampires (Damage totals 35, 26 and 29) then ran northeast to T8.]

Re: Part 4.4: out of a rift into a vampire CS ambush

Post by Grynn »

Limbo
Grynn floated for a long moment, letting himself drift as he let the energy flow out of him and in to the Archons. He let them have much of what he contained, but not enough to drain him dry. Things were too chaotic and danger-filled with his new allies and friends to let himself be completely drained. He bowed his head to them after the kiss, "You are welcome. I was but a small part of your salvation, and you have aided us." While he wasn't quick to want the feeling to end, he felt things shift and then solidify once more all too soon.
Map Placement
Grynn appears in L-12, adjacent to both Ashlynn and Krys.
A small orange-red tabby suddenly appeared on the impromptu battlefield. He looked around trying to get a sense of what was going on. It was all very confusing. There were bodies, both moving and not, every where. There was a lot of noise, yelling, weapons fire and death rattles.

...of course, this seemed to be what the group he had found himself in was used to. Like, this happened to them everywhere they went, it felt like. There had been a dead-then-come-back-to-life catperson splayed open in his bed after he started hanging out with them, for crying out loud!

After a moment, he bumped first in to a leg of Krys and then Ashlynn, one after the other. As he did so, he focused a little of his small remaining magical energy and tried to make himself a bit tougher, seeing the battle raging around them. He suddenly froze, letting out a little injured yowl and froze up as it backfired on him. He fought the feeling off and tried to push through the pain, but he lost the pattern of the spell and it faded away, along with the energy he had been infusing it with. He let out a hiss of frustration.

With a flash and rage of light, she points her scepter towards the revealed enemy, and shouts. "YOU ARE UNMADE! Show yourself revealed to the light!" A blast of sunlight envelops the area, overloading magic items and magic users, as well as psionics alike. "You will face ignominious defeat at my hands! LOOK! There is our foe! Destroy her!" She points very definitively at the location of the invisible enemy.

            Finally!!!

Surrounded by the vampires and seeing the Doc being pulled away Ndreare knows he has to stop them, but he also must stop the wild vampire Rodney points out.
Looking at the CS Officer who helped him Ndreare thanks him with a nod. “Need to stop her.” Ndreare had nothing against the commander, but the tight schedule leaves no time for chatter.
Running towards the vampress that has been the sources of those devastated attacks Ndreare casts his most powerful enchantment on his weapons causing them to glow with the burning light of the sun. Then calling on a version of himself from another timeline. A version that chose to follow the same path as his brother he enhances his fighting skills beyond any level of mastery he ever had in this world.
But as he leaves from where he is at is Ndreare is struck hard the blow feeling almost like it was going to slice him in half, when by some twist of fate it instead knocks him forward into his charge.
Taking only a brief moment to catch him breath Ndreare felt like everything around him was coated in molasses as it moved so slow. He charged up to the Vampress and with one slice of his son’s honor blade cut her in half, the second blow taking her head from her shoulders. The burning light setting the vampire on fire nothing was left but ashes scattering in the wind.
“Rodney, sweep down on my way back for a boost to your weapons, so you can kill some vampires to.”

Opposed psionics 18, no dispel, she is still under the effect of greater invisibility, and it still requires a notice check vs TN 8( hearing to pin point the exact square, and if you can see through greater invisibility TN 5 to exactly see her as she is still hiding behind cover, your area affect attacks are good to go.

Vamp 1 miss, Vamp 2 hit! 30AP8
Vampire 1 fighting on Nd!
[dice]0[/dice]

Vampire 2
[dice]1[/dice] Ace [dice]2[/dice] double Ace [dice]3[/dice]
Damage: [dice]4[/dice] +[dice]5[/dice]+[dice]6[/dice] ace [dice]7[/dice] Super cool engaged: +4 damage, +4 AP(8 total), silvered, embedded plasma laser (range 15/30/60 Damage 2d6+2, Rof 1, AP2, shots 16 and freaking Plasma)
One vampire misses, but the second one... The second one weld's a blade only given to family of the Prosek's, an imperial CS crest adorns the pommel. It is silver along the width of the blade, it humms at a frequency few blades can, and when it hits it rips personal armor to shreds. A dread blade in the hand of a master, and in hands of a vampire... An elf's worst nightmare.
Ashlyn's mom does not survive Ndreare's onslaught. Ndreare feel free to narrate how she dies.

Ashlyn, super sorry...
You hear a feeble voice in your head, weak and decrepit... The voice of Soldad, Ashlyn, something happened to me... I am free, my nature still hungers, and I am not sure if it bodes for good or ill... I may still yet commit acts of unspeakable horror. But, Shakal she gave you something in your pack or pocket... I can do good in this at least, it will free your mother." Indeed a small necklace with a translucent Blackstone, in the center of the stone is what could only be described as a drop of blood.

Sweeping down as ordered Rodney accepts the charge of magical energy on his main weapon and flies up again as much as possible, turning he sees a vampire about to come in from the east and decides it is as good a target as any. "Don't worry Ndreare I will kill these ones you keep forgetting. By the way, not sure I will need those keys, I can probably just hot wire the beast if needed."

With her new coat hanging on her shoulders dramatically, and her communication band activated, Krys calls out to the CS soldiers around her, instilling them with the will to fight. "The enemy of all life wishes to slaughter you. Fight with us soldiers, destroy these enemies of life, your life!" She then throws her hand up, and a gleaming ball of brilliance lights (Light -1 PPE due to raise) erupts northwest of her (W9).

Serenia shrugs off the effects of the psionics and turns to attack the nearest vampire.

Ashlyn spun around as she heard a cry. There was a wavering in the air and the pieces of her mother appeared as they slid to the earth, just as Ashlyn heard Soldad’s voice in her head.

She dug in a pouch at her belt and pulled out a blackstone necklace encasing a drop of blood. “No!” she screamed. “Mama!”

Dark magic twined around Vela, rising like ghostly black arms from the earth, wrapping about her in twilight strands even as a skull-face loomed up over her with its mouth gaping wide as if to swallow her whole. The were-jaguar though, faced with the inevitability of death, roared in defiance and tore free of those shadowy bonds! Sunlight flashed from her claws as she slashed through the gruesome rictus that hovered before her, scattering it like so much dust and nightmares!

"HEAR ME HUMANS!" she bellowed, with all the fury of the Jaguar People behind her voice. "FIGHT THE DEAD, OR JOIN THEM. THAT IS ALL THERE IS IN THIS FIGHT!"

She whirled to the last standing vampire near her and plunged her clawed hand into his chest with savage force. The sunlight gleaming from her talons lit up the inside of the undead creature, who writhed and howled as he burned. Vela lifted him up so the sight could be seen all around...then slashed one more time, drawing those burning claws across his neck.

The vampire's head bounced to the ground, frozen eternally in an expression of agony, its neck charred to the point that no blood flowed. The rest of the vampire caught fire, impaled on her other claw, and burned to ashes almost immediately afterwards.

"THAT is what The People do to the Dead!" she shouted. "CAN YOU DO BETTER?!"

Fizzwaite looked around for his parts bag knowing that he was going to need it soon when he noticed a distinct beeping sound coming from behind him. I wonder what that could be? Beeping is never good. Course beeping followed by not beeping is even worse. Abandoning his search he turned to follow the sound when a wave so something washed over him. He struggled against it but he was still drained from the earlier attack. His knees buckling he struggled to warn the elf next to him. "Thought...you...should...know...bommmmmmb....." Overcome Fizzwaite falls to the ground stiff as a board and staring into the night.
