The Silent Saint and the Oblivion Sage await unlocking by the intrepid adventurers of Crashing Heavens! In addition, there are Colossi that seal away allies for the team, Shamans, blessings, Djinn, summons, powers....

This sounds like the best for me. I don't need any more characters beyond the ones I have planned so far. I get the experience and unlock someone who can better help the CH...should I go to Krane and ask for someone to hutn for?

Actually, people know where at least two are: Earth, in the area controlled by Sir Nemesis; and the Underdark. If neither interest you, then yes, you should go to Krane.

Sir Nemesis sounds like quite the intriguing fellow, I bet he's a riot at birthday parties. I'll teleport into that area if I can, unless you think I need permission to enter that area and not get gunned down the first eight seconds of being there.

You probably wouldn't get permission. You'll probably want not to just teleport, find a way to make a distraction or somehow be more subtle.

What kind of distraction do you have in mind?

None. Your turn  |

Post by Mace Parshath on Feb 20, 2007 1:52:50 GMT -5
I mean, like, something to distract the entire UEG from the area or something monumental? I could unleash a giant explosion or something... Actually, yeah, I'll do that. I will unleash an F1 a few hundred miles away from the area and get them in.
|
|
|
|
Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Feb 21, 2007 13:58:41 GMT -5
Sir Nemesis allows no UEG soldiers or personnel, and what F1 will you unleash?
|

Post by Mace Parshath on Feb 21, 2007 17:52:37 GMT -5
F1...F1...hmm, which one to use. I need one to make it look like it's a natural occurence so military awareness isn't perked, but also something to draw attention. What are some rather unusual occurences for the area? Lights, novas, anything that really draws attention. I think I will consider the idea of some random bright light in the sky, making night into day for a little bit while Mace and his team teleport in.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Feb 22, 2007 19:27:22 GMT -5
It's Europe in Earth. Novae in the air are not actually normal. Night into day might be confused for a meteor.

Post by Mace Parshath on Feb 22, 2007 19:29:49 GMT -5
How about multiple spheres of light overing over the area?
|

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Feb 24, 2007 2:46:51 GMT -5
Not likely to be confused as natural either.

Well, seeing as Tyrant's name doesn't actually make him a Tyrant, is Sir Nemesis just a name or is he really a bad guy? If so, I think I could go with the idea of finding some people that hate him and asking them to attack, allowing me to sneak in.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Feb 25, 2007 19:54:35 GMT -5
He is actually a bad guy. Very good idea, exactly what Zene is doing in this thread. You can just teleport to her . |

Mace is now in a record shop. Golden records are cased on the walls, and some CDs, DVDs, vinyl, and 8-tracks are featured, but mostly it's just a consolidated place where billions of songs are stored in a computer.

"Hello?" Laura calls out, looking around. Mace mozzies on over to the classic rock section for records, looking for Black Sabbath. Jerry leans against the wall, and Brent wonders if a clock smells more like butter or sour cream.

Someone yells out, "Get back here! Now!" The clock is closer to butter.

Post by Mace Parshath on Feb 28, 2007 19:33:00 GMT -5
Everyone immediately looks up, Laura is lready sprinting for the back, drawing her caster pistol, Jerry his Seburo, and Mace just wondering why they're doing that.
Brent is content with the answer of butter and follows behind.

A man in the back, behind a barely open secret entrance says, "In here!"

Everyone follows Laura into the room, both her and Jerry holstering their weapons. "Yeah? Who are you?"

When they walk in, they see a salt-and-pepper haired fellow with a strong-cut jaw and Eastern European features. He is wearing a brown coat and has on a derby. "Oh, just the owner of this record store, comrade. Now come on back."

"Good enough for me," Mace says. Laura sighs and the team follows the owner of the shop. Jerry feels at home, smiling even.

The group walk down what looks like a secret cache of music. The man adjusts a CD case, and yet another door opens. The door leads down a long, carved path through the bedrock, which in turn leads to an underground staging area.

ArekExcelsior2: Krystal, remember being in that sort of Eastern European hellhole?
ArekExcelsior2: With the record shop and the resistance movement?
ArekExcelsior2: And you were trying to save some Jewish dude?
SithofMacabre: ....................Yes.....?
ArekExcelsior2: That's the Tzaddikim quest.
ArekExcelsior2: And it's not Fred madeupery, it's Jewish.
ArekExcelsior2: Hint: Think the "Power of God" might just help in the Imperium?
mephiasu: no of course not
mephiasu: what the hell were you thinkin fred
SithofMacabre: I think it would ._.
ArekExcelsior2: I don't know, man. I just work here.
mephiasu: god has not place in the fight against evil!!!
mephiasu: no*
ArekExcelsior2: So: Any objections to Tzaddikim?
mephiasu: no not at all.
mephiasu: unless krane is anywhere near there
mephiasu: then yes I have every objection in the world.
ArekExcelsior2: Nope.
ArekExcelsior2: She is the best Colossus hunter, but I think you can do this without her.
ArekExcelsior2: Denios will be here, though.
mephiasu: oh thank lord now nekia doesnt need to stab her.
mephiasu: well actually he does need to she just isnt around for him to do it.
ArekExcelsior2: So: Begin?
mephiasu: sure who is there so I can decide who to bring.
ArekExcelsior2: Zene and Denios so far.
ArekExcelsior2: Two Str whores, healers and speedsters might be super fun.
SithofMacabre: Heheee
mephiasu: well shit dude I can just bring nekia and mephiasu and that covers the last to on its own.
ArekExcelsior2: Then Cisero for magicky/Dragoon fun and Chosen for Jedi fun?
Poen Grafficane has left the room.
mephiasu: or not
mephiasu: we can do just us for now itll be fine im sure.
ArekExcelsior2: Yeah, probably.
mephiasu: wait a sec isnt zene fooling around with denios?
ArekExcelsior2: Not ATM.
ArekExcelsior2: It's business.
mephiasu: yeah but on the long term I meant.
ArekExcelsior2: Yes.
ArekExcelsior2: Someeone reinvite Glenn, please, besides me.
ArekExcelsior2: Anyways: So Mephiasu and Nekia just appear suddenly in the room?
mephiasu: as mephiasu and nekia (dispatched to help im sure) appear mephiasu speakes in his semi-drowsy sounding voice "it should not be a problem I am sure but just for the record keep to yourselves till I leave or I will stab you both"
mephiasu: nekia smirks at the statment and says "I second that"
ArekExcelsior2: Denios laughs heartily. "Business IS pleasure, my Godbeast friends."
SithofMacabre: "What's the point in stabbing us?" Zenexoria grins, baring her fangs. "That wouldn't make us keep to ourselves, you know."
mephiasu: mephiasu replies to denios "if you find pleasure in battle then yes but I speak of something entirely different as you know"
mephiasu: nekia replies to zene "your right but it would certainly make me feel better about it"
ArekExcelsior2: "Leave them be, Zenexoria, this is as close to politeness as they can get. Imagine men of human stock being taught a lesson on manners by a demon." A man to the side of them says, somewhat sombrely yet also
ArekExcelsior2: with a hint of irony, 'They have been quite good. The pressing matter is our liberation, not your squabbling.'
SithofMacabre: She pouts with mock immaturity, pursing her lips together before glaring away with her fists resting on her hips. "Blame me for it..."
ArekExcelsior2: "Oh, no, all of you. The night attack awaits. Sir Nemesis' military is composed of crack forces."
mephiasu: mephiasu turns to the man "and yet I find it odd considering you speak of manners while assuming to completely judge us while simultaniously implying that a demon could not be a perfect gentleman if he wanted to"
mephiasu: *replace assuming with going on to (dont know whats wrong with me tonight)
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: ...It was Denios who said the thing about politeness.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Not the dude.
mephiasu: OOG: oh the way you wrote it sounded like it was the dude.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: His point was that demons were being more polite than those derived of men.
ArekExcelsior2: Oh, yeah, I see where you got that.
Poen Grafficane has entered the room.
mephiasu: nekia will lean past zene and turn his head to look at her "dont take it like that he is just in a rush so what is the situation here who are liberating"
ArekExcelsior2: The man introduces himself. "I am Raswell Oslaf. Comrades, we are fighting Sir Nemesis' tyranny. The Tzaddikim defeated him in one-on-one combat before. He can do it again."
Poen Grafficane: OOG: Who should I use?
mephiasu: OOG: which of your charecters had the most DIO?
mephiasu: OOG: whichever it is dont use that charecter
Poen Grafficane: Chosen, probably
Poen Grafficane: )
SithofMacabre: She sighs lightly, leaning sideways and slightly away from Nekia. "So I assume the Tzemke themselves would know of Tzaddikim's general area?"
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Okay, to clarify this right now: Tzaddikim is a JEWISH word for sort of saint-like mythological figures who silently support the world and use their powers to lionize God.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: put poen in when it works, Fred)
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Just teleport in, bro with shadow magic.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: Also, MSN still works, d00d)
SithofMacabre: OOG: ...lio..nize?
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Make seem bolder. Not the right word, but the right word is evading me. Essentially, their miracles are used to worship and please God.
SithofMacabre: OOG: ohhh.
ArekExcelsior2: So, no, the Tzemke don't know, but this guy DOES know.
SithofMacabre: Oh, okay.
ArekExcelsior2: Raswell continues. "We have seen the massive stone beast, lumbering, projecting lightning that scorches the sky. Then it disappears in the morning."
ArekExcelsior2: "We have surmised that it is the night guard of Sir Nemesis' palace. You have told us that this entity must hold someone, and we know whom it holds now. We will attack when the day guard shifts to the night guard. You will
ArekExcelsior2: punch a hole through their defenses and find the creature and neutralize it. We will retreat at that point, but we will have injured Sir Nemesis most deeply."
SithofMacabre: "So who punches the hole and who finds the thing?"
ArekExcelsior2: "You do all that. I know it seems unfair, but we are limited in number and can't afford detection... Our families are at stake." He seems tos hiver with fear for a moment; up until this, he had sheer bravado.
ArekExcelsior2: Regaining his composure admirably, he says, "Our weaponry and numbers can hold the troops from fighting you.
SithofMacabre: OOG: ...why is no one else saying anything? .___.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: No clizzue.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: Poen isnt in yet
ArekExcelsior2: ...He can just teleport in.
ArekExcelsior2: Mario's probably just writing a long post.
mephiasu: mephiasu breaks the silence "I understand what you need us to do how long until guards shift?"
mephiasu: OOG: nope just busy at the moment
mephiasu: OOG: plus this was sith's mission so I figured she would take lead but I guess can do that a bit.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: not his style
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Then what the heck is?
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Nothing is stopping him from just popping in whatsoever.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: coming in at a cool moment
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Yeah, nothing remotely cool about a shadowy entity popping up out of nowhere and providing his tactical insight.
Poen Grafficane: OOG: Fine....
ArekExcelsior2: Denios smiles broadly. "Tonight, a tyrant will know fear." He seems to wait for the oncoming hour with glee.
Poen Grafficane: Out from the shadows grew a humanoid shadowy form, slowly coalescing into a man. "What's the scoop, bub?" He said in an old untranslateable tongue and telepathically simultaneously
Poen Grafficane: OOG: Also, remember our dinner reservations
mephiasu: OOG: dinner reservations?
Poen Grafficane: OOG: In hell
mephiasu: OOG: funny.......
Poen Grafficane: It just comes natural to me, yknow
SithofMacabre: "So still no chance in eating someone?" Zene whines, her eyes changing to a light blue. "Tyrants always have the taste of power in their blood..."
ArekExcelsior2: Raswell leaps and draws a weapon, then as quickly holsters it. "You truly have some awe-full allies, in every meaning of that word. The scoop? You will sneak in as you just did and fight a massive beast."
ArekExcelsior2: Raswell shrugs. "Eat his sycophants and troops, I don't care."
mephiasu: mephiasu snickers "that trick is much too overdown poen"
SithofMacabre: "I guess I can't be picky." She says.
ArekExcelsior2: Denios sniggers. "Do I sense a hint of jealousy? Poen is superior in the art of casting shadows to even you, Nightblade."
ArekExcelsior2: Raswell says, "Well, us mortals cannot simply be prepared for battle in a second's notice, we must prepare ourselves. Any questions?"
Poen Grafficane: "So why the hell are we planning, let's get the hell outta here" He said-spoke. He shot an amused glare at nightblade "Funny. Not the tactful type, eh?"
mephiasu: mephiasu laughs a dark hoarse laugh "oh it is poen, oh it is...."
mephiasu: "and you know better than most denios that jealousy is a pointless emotion"
mephiasu: "especially in this age"
ArekExcelsior2: Denios shrugs. "Battle is a meal that must be tasted in parts. The strategy is just as nourishing and sweet as its completion." Astonishingly, men and women, even some children, are now swarming around them in the massive
ArekExcelsior2: underground staging area, taking makeshift weapons and entering ramshackle vehicles. Zene can tell, however, that they are much more dangerous than they look, and has learned the hard way not to underestimate a motley crue of rebels
Poen Grafficane: Poen diverts his attention from Nightblade and onto the others. "I work well in the night, and I don't need preperation. What do you want from me? Reconnisance or something?"
ArekExcelsior2: Denios points to his watch. "They attack first. We move in second. The only thing that matters is that moment where they begin to attack. What you should do is get behind their lines, alongside Mephiasu. Zene and I will
ArekExcelsior2: eviscerate them from the front."
SithofMacabre: Zenexoria yawns and stretches back, tilting her head to glance warily at the crowds before standing straight at the thought of disemboweled victims. "Eh? Lovely evisceration, what?"
Poen Grafficane: "If that's where you think I belong, I've no objections." Poen laughed.
ArekExcelsior2: Denios simply nods to Nekia, knowing that Nekia will place himself where he is needed.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: So, skip to fight?
SithofMacabre: OOG: I vote yes
Poen Grafficane: OOG: unless we wanna rp waiting a few hours
Poen Grafficane: OOG: do we get play exp for that?
Poen Grafficane: OOG: XP
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: You absolutely do, but not that much, it won't be much longer.
ArekExcelsior2: Denios Magi cloaks, flying high in the air, watching the ensuing battle commencing.
ArekExcelsior2: Everyone! Whatcha doing when the fight starts?
SithofMacabre: What's the front like? Field? Trees? Big platform'o'cement?
SithofMacabre: A canyon?
ArekExcelsior2: Imagine a mountain pass circling along, treading away. At the top of the topmost plateau is an elegant mansion protected by insurmountable defenses.
SithofMacabre: Okeedoke
ArekExcelsior2: The rebels are taking a sidewinder that deposits them very suddenly right in front of the gates on the narrow pass.
ArekExcelsior2: Once they blow through that, the pass goes out into a much higher plain, though the drop into the huge canyon below is still there.
ArekExcelsior2: The plain is where the Colossus is supposedly.
SithofMacabre: Zenexoria sits on a mesa high above the pass, but lower than the mansion itself, watching Denios fly overhead before glancing down at the rebels--ready to jump rock after rock after Denios the moment events begin.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Zene and Deni were supposed to be part of frontal assault, unless Zene's gonna jump into it from behind, which has risks and disadvantages.
SithofMacabre: OOG: Once he heads to the front, she follows him to it via jumping the mountainside...ish-- she jump good!
Poen Grafficane: You know what Poen is doing, although I don;t know why he's in the back
ArekExcelsior2: To shiv em from behind.
ArekExcelsior2: Nekia and Mephiasu?
mephiasu: nekia shall follow a little behind the first two with fly step in one hand and the tail in the other.
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Ourobouros tail?
mephiasu: OOG: yea
ArekExcelsior2: While the rebels go up the pass, a portly old man runs up the mountain, clearly drunk, stumbling and alternating between hysterical rage and... hysterical laughter. "Hahahahaa, I must speak to... I must speak to... YOU!
Poen Grafficane: OOG: lol no zene's
ArekExcelsior2: No, not you..."
ArekExcelsior2: OOG: Dude, in this game there's so many "tails", and when is Nekia gonna try that armor?
mephiasu: five pcs isnt enough to use embracing willow just yet
mephiasu: he is gonna use it during imperium though.
ArekExcelsior2: The guards come out. Tired and just getting off their shift, the troops growl and come forward. "You must leave in three minutes!"
SithofMacabre: Zenexoria sighs a bit, deciding that staring up at Denios for his movement was much more interesting than watching the ant-sized troops below shift around.
Poen Grafficane: "Three is all we'll need, bub" His language now totallyuninelligable, like a snarl, but telepathically a punch
mephiasu: sorry this is a bad time but I gotsa go.
mephiasu: if you guys wanna keep playing then just take my charecters out as opposed to npcing them alright?
ArekExcelsior2: No problem.
ArekExcelsior2: Sure, that works.
ArekExcelsior2: Can Glenn and Krystal keep playing?
mephiasu: they can keep playing this thats fine just take me charecters out instead of npcing them please.
Poen Grafficane: i can
SithofMacabre: I'm working on a paper, so yah, I'll be here a while
Poen Grafficane: ?
mephiasu: later guys
mephiasu has left the room.
Poen Grafficane: fred?
ArekExcelsior2: Cool.
ArekExcelsior2: A'ight, so no Mephiasu or Nekia. Want NPC or PC replacement>
SithofMacabre: *shrug*
ArekExcelsior2: Well, you can probably handle this as is. Continue?
SithofMacabre: Sure
Poen Grafficane: ok
ArekExcelsior2: The guards draw weapons. The man continues to mumble. One guard comes out and beats him in the face with a rifle butt. "Get down!", the guard yells.
ArekExcelsior2: The drunk grabs his leg, and the guard bursts into flame. "SIC SEMPER TYRANNUS!", the drunk yells, and at that moment the vehicles and weapons burst out.
ArekExcelsior2: So: Initiative!
ArekExcelsior2: Poen - 88
ArekExcelsior2: Denios - 87
ArekExcelsior2: Zene - 51
ArekExcelsior2: Rebels - 77
ArekExcelsior2: Guards - 76
Poen Grafficane: What kinds of weapons? what kinds of ammo?
ArekExcelsior2: So Poen first.
ArekExcelsior2: Lasblasters, grenades, sticky improvised explosives..
Poen Grafficane: Allright. Well, Poen has no real feeling to need to babysit. Are they just at the door?
ArekExcelsior2: They're just now coming over the ridge.
ArekExcelsior2: Their actions are much slower than all of yours: You see the guards down below, even with their Forbidden enhancements and armors, moving like molasses.
SithofMacabre: Aw, so the man getting smushed in the face was in slow motionness?
ArekExcelsior2: Yep. Even the lightspeed energy blasts seem slow to you, like something moving at least a quarter of your speed.
SithofMacabre: Ooh
ArekExcelsior2: I'd say a softball, but a softball moves faster vis-a-vis you than all of this going on.
ArekExcelsior2: Bullets might as well be standing still for all you care.
SithofMacabre: Hahaha
Poen Grafficane: Oh, Poen is gonna have FUN
Poen Grafficane has left the room.
SithofMacabre: ...Wow, that WAS fun
ArekExcelsior2: ...Uh huh.l
ArekExcelsior2: He'll be back in a sec.
SithofMacabre: K
ArekExcelsior2: A reverberating shadow ball creating a massive shockwave, in true Gung Ho Guns style, throws soldier after soldier aside, instantly knocking them unconscious into the deep shadow of trauma-induced sleep,.
Poen Grafficane has entered the room.
ArekExcelsior2: Suddenly, in the concentration of men amassing to deal with the drunk, the black shadow of Poen and the red shadow of the RSN leap into the air explosively, sinking back down and trapping the men in a shadowy cube.
ArekExcelsior2: Glenn:Previous post " A reverberating shadow ball creating a massive shockwave, in true Gung Ho Guns style, throws
ArekExcelsior2: soldier after soldier aside, instantly knocking them unconscious into the deep shadow of trauma-induced sleep,"
ArekExcelsior2: You guys doing the one DIO element rule?
ArekExcelsior2: Anyways, Poen and the RSN have another action.
Poen Grafficane: Are there any more?
ArekExcelsior2: Plenty.
ArekExcelsior2: In the area, there's at least two hundred guards, and Poen's only beaten 12.
ArekExcelsior2: They're not pushovers, even when surprised.
SithofMacabre: >< Ow...I think I should go to bed...my head is trying to kill me...
Poen Grafficane: Allright, attack increase aura, speed increase aura, transform into attack/tanker Poen, have the RSN leap in the air and dual prong one enemy, and I'll blow him and the RSN away, possibly creating a route into more killing?
ArekExcelsior2: The speed and attack increase aura stacks with Denios' aurahood and makes the rebel forces start to cut down more and more troops.
ArekExcelsior2: The RSN brutally stabs one enemy, rushing forward into the rest.
ArekExcelsior2: Want to pause, Krystal? Glenn and I can just do Spekkio.
SithofMacabre: Yes please, it feels like a nerve behind my eyes is loose or some weird thing--I move my head and it has a sensation of moving, sorry. I thought I could last for a while
Poen Grafficane: ouch
ArekExcelsior2: Awfulness.
SithofMacabre: Yus....Sorry to leave, night!
ArekExcelsior2: Okay, you guys go much further, we'll just go ahead!
SithofMacabre: Kk!

Zene and Denios crushed those guards Poen began on! Reinforcements are arriving, so the PCs may want to make a move on.
