The three walk in. There seems to be no activity at the moment, the warehouse stretching on.

A sound of something slicing neatly through the air, making a curtain of wind of blistering intensity. Quion falls to the side, amazingly his defenses completely down.

"you alright?" hack immedately starts thinking assassin like, noting places where one can gain quick cover to turn around an attack first

Quion nods. The sound of wind is heard, and a blistering mirrored surface appears around him. Suddenly there is a white energy repairing him. You know now that he is a Magi, the distinct energy form is quite obvious, but...
"Who the hell just healed me?"
Standing on the rafters above are dozens of men in Tier 4-level assault rifles and full siege clothing, and in the center of all this action is a white man, brown eyes and a completely bald head. He is busily swirling two Asiatic scimitar-like blades and is dressed in a black silk tunic with a seam on the left side. He is surprisingly unscarred, and the tunic clearly is large and free-flowing to contain hidden weapons. "I was warned of your arrival, fellow warriors! Prepare yourself!" Without irony he behaves fully like a Chun Tzu, despite him running guns and not being Oriental...

hack turns into a whirling vortex of blades "why so much assistance for the three of us"

"I can defeat one, perhaps two of you. They are for the third..."
Sarashito screams, in rage at Quion's attack. Prismatic colors begin warping around her, like when she was altering your car, except infinitely more intense. Matter from all over, largely crates but some of the weapons and armor of the men above, confused special ops men looking down at their disappearing weapons. A great crest forms first on her head, then a gleaming gold visor, and so on, mattering being knit together to create a mechanical version of full white plate. Hack can see that her raw strength and endurance dwarf even his. Meanwhile, her shadow becomes a tendril-like projection, stretching out, and she seems to go through pain as it stretches out like a snake then continues to stretch becoming an elongated crab-like creature.
Quion begins to glow a brilliant white and green, power literally shooting into the roof of virtually infinite density, and his minions and Sarashito's begin to spread out...
(Some room for dialogue before the fight starts).

Chun Tzu shrugs and leaps to engage.
The order, as well as Hack can predict: Sarashito Chun Tzu Quion Hack Goons
(Odd since you can tell this power of Sarashito's is even slower than you in this form).
The crab form suddenly has four forms being added to it, with four words being conjured in the air: "Kali Mantrin Yamajataka", "Kali Ardralubdhaka Bhoga", "Kali Viparyas Monsoon" and "Kali Yama ParazupalAza" . Its shadow visage stretches out, a constantly spitting flame tail erupting to intercept with thick blades suddenly appearing over its body, and in its hand is a bizarre blade. Hack hasn't even heard of it: It simply seems to taper into nothingness, curving past light itself. To deal with the whirling defenses, the snake simply goes for a brilliant smashing tactic, trying to catch at a bad point in the rhythm and power through with blade mass. Two chess-piece like bits float and attempt to intercept the blades to more fully open. Chun Tzu is struck by all of it (double crit!) and thrown brutally through crate after crate, detonating energy clips and bullets. The air literally curls and there is that faint energy again, creating a small gate to the Alter World with its sheer power... Chun Tzu stands again, smiling madly, and five of his men literally cut their own heads off, throwing them down before they stumble. Each head explodes, a modification of the classic trick from Chinese warfare. The crab prepares for another assault, as the gangrene did not take...
Eight spheres form in an octagon around Sarashito's armored form herself and make a blisteringly complex geometric shape of psychic energy. This forms passive defenses for you and Quion.
Her red ninja shadow rides in the wake of the blistering speed of the shadow crab, throwing smoke pellets that actually help to deflect incoming bullets.
Thick bacterial swarms, seemingly passively generated by Sarashito, begin to eat away at the foes.
A spirit of earth raises the team's defense.
A floating beholder begins to attempt to petrify the weapons of the goons. It takes 20%.
Working in conjunction with the bacteria are insects that attempt to sneak into the ear of the enemies, but die upon contact with their powerful combat shields.
Chun Tzu first generates a backlash against all these effects, a whipping field of purple cutting wind and white flame that erupts at you three. Parry opportunity.

parry yes, deflection if possible, if deflected Hack is millimeters behind, if parried hack merely charges sundering chun tzu's weapons before attacking the warrior himself

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on May 18, 2006 21:05:44 GMT -5
How will you deflect? Lateral swing? Upwards swing? A particular ability? Etc.?

Post by Vincent Hack on May 19, 2006 17:30:51 GMT -5
lateral swing
|
|

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on May 19, 2006 22:27:47 GMT -5
Hack swings outwards, his chainsaw cleaving through the incoming assault. The chainsaw cuts through the incoming energy, and the swinging does make the bottom part of it freeze... but the top energy passes over, powering into Hack's chest. His armor is sustained but Hack is nonetheless damaged through it.
Quion spins an eight-tined device Hack recognizes as a vajra to attempt to dispel the incoming assault, working with his barrier. The flame and wind is redirected but the effect is harmless, and the vajra contains a powerful spark from the incoming assault.
Sarashito creates a wall of bacteria and insects, using the insects to create a chilling virus and the bacteria to absorb the heat and wind to grow and create spores. Unfortunately, this is not as effective as she hopes.
Chun Tzu now makes a blistering array of stomps, each stomp discharging a powerful force at Hack. The first attempts to knock Hack down, the remainders discharging force into him. (FN: 150/228) He may parry at +30.

Post by Vincent Hack on May 24, 2006 18:20:00 GMT -5
send the attack skyward, or turn it around if possible

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on May 25, 2006 4:21:38 GMT -5
Hack swings upwards, hoping against hope that this time he will have predicted his foe's pattern... but the energy discharged strikes into him, not able to move or redirect fast enough, just a bit too slow. Hack is Shaken, knocked down, and generally harmed.
Now one scimitar rushes at Hack, a thrust shoving to his stomach...

if Hack is capable of a response he will simply attempt to parry, then Call in Shi'Kairu
|
|

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Jun 1, 2006 20:00:40 GMT -5
He can respond, but again I need to know how, with what strategem in mind, etc. Bear in mind his Shaken status.

Post by Vincent Hack on Jun 5, 2006 17:57:54 GMT -5
parry the blade, attempt to demoralize opponent (intimidate), and call in shi strategey, Hack intends to use shi to rebound each time he's launched, Shi will otherwise attack chun-tzu's trops if he can't do it all in his turn than he will go down the list in that order
|

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Jun 5, 2006 17:58:36 GMT -5
So from what direction will he parry, the style, the motion, etc.? Describe it so I could see it.

Post by Vincent Hack on Jun 5, 2006 18:01:31 GMT -5
bash it to the right with whichever blade is convienent

The blade is shoved aside easily. Though the intimidation effect does not phase Chun Tzu, it does redouble Hack's determination and raise his confidence, allowing him to survive. Chun Tzu is tumbling forward and vulnerable, and Hack immediately takes the opportunity to shove the chainsaw in, a powerful effect protecting Chun Tzu but the strike clearly being very dangerous, followed by Shi hitting him hard.
Chun Tzu squeezes his hand, and a long rifle shoots into Hack. Hack can defend himself.

Despite the rifle being in the center of the large body that Hack has, he ducks down successfully. Two more shots come now combined with a blazing burst of light that blinds and burns. Hack is not in the best position to dodge them all.

then we'll not try, charge the one with the gun, deathmerging along the way

Hack attempts to charge forward, but the first shot knocks him down and throws him off, then the second shot similarly tears in. The light continues to do its damage. Luckily, Chun Tzu only seems to have one last action: His blade now goes for a killing blow to lop off your head. (FN: 267/180). Hack may attempt to parry at -60.

alright i'll parry, by changing my enitre body to living chaos, they want a fight lets show them the chaos of Hack's tortured mind

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Jun 8, 2006 19:19:57 GMT -5
Luckily for Hack, he gets a 91 and a 90, and even with the -60 the critical allows him to get through. The blade does strike to his neck, but the blade is suddenly stuck in chaos. Chun Tzu attempts to use his power of the Chun Tzu to find the order of beauty in the chaos of war, but despite how incredible he is he appears to be more superficial than Hack is in this regard. Unfortunately, Hack is having difficulty controlling himself now.
Hack can attempt to deal with this state however he can think of: After that, Quion goes.
