The Delta

[Nigel Thornheart]

Nigel cut down the nearest Boglop, using the doorway as a bottleneck.

[Justine-Juliette de Vair]

Justine came up behind Nigel and shouldered him out of the way a bit so she could reach the things inside the house. “Why are there so many of these damn things in here?” She asked testily as she bent to sink her sword into one of them. For once she was in close quarters with the man and not worried about his wandering hands.

[The Forgotten God]

The boglops take a second to notice the pair of warriors but even for boglops these beings are incredibly stupid. Nigel had never seen them so apparently lethargic.

Nigel:

178/111/185 (critical)

Justine:

155/138/151/109

The four nearest boglops are cut down before they properly seem to understand what’s going on. The remainder finally seem to wake up about the threat as their comrades explode into little bits of Mist and add to the foggy atmosphere of the nasty tavern.

Outside Kjell parkours through the window and draws her axe as she flips in like a six foot tall pointy eared shinobi.

148/101/132/116

Her short had red axe buried into a boglops as it vanished in a satisfying pop that blew more of the Mist about.

Farther away Thalia Silvia Zavier and Elise see more doors opening and shambling creatures lumbering lethargically into the streets, as Mist pours out the newly opened entrances and tumbled through the street like a lazy wave.

Herneiros reaches the tavern at end of the round in his astral form while Ceutinde’s keen eyes see two more human-sized figured darting from a building to the west with some sort of long weapons, spears or guns likely. They’re about fifty meters away.

[Kjell Ó Raghallaigh]

Kjell attempted to make her way up the stairs where she suspected the archers were positioned, cleaving and/or kicking her way through boglops on the way if needed.

If <success>
Then <she drew the double-barreled gun to blast at the potential enemy upstairs, moving up as quietly as possible, ready to dart back in case arrows were released.>

[Silvia Raizer]

Silvia readied her arquebus and readied herself to fire once a target came within range. She would do her best to stay away from a ranged attack herself, if possible.

[Ceutinde]

"Two more approaching to the west!" Ceutinde called to those in earshot. She tossed off another magic bolt at one of them before reaching cover.

[Geoffrey Ravenhurst]

Herneiros says something that echoes throughout eternal nothingness and fires his arrow into the air before having it rain fire down upon the pair of foes.

[Justine-Juliette de Vair]

Justine registered enough of Kjell’s moves to nod approvingly before pushing past Nigel all the way, entering the mist properly and leveling her blades at any remaining boglops.

[The Forgotten God]

The Tavern:

Kjell: 167 agility

The elven sniper easily dodged the lazy monsters and glides up the stairs. An arrow slams into the wall near her chest but it missed by a foot or so and she responds with two barrels of lead.

127/134

The archer’s eyes open wide as the half inch wide balls slam into his gut and neck. He won’t be firing any arrows for a while. Kjell heard another man approaching and she saw him in the moments before he tried attacking, but she flips from the stairs onto the second floor using the railing to boost her jump and her axe is out before he can close the gap (melee next round).

Downstairs the pair hear the sounds of the gun and a scream of pain cut off in a sickening manner, but Justine and Nigel cut through the slowly energizing boglops like they’re made of cardboard. The Mist continues thickening as the beasts are slaughtered but neither of the Mighty Thornhearts takes a single hit.

Nigel and Justine have killed their enemies, may move downstairs to investigate the green light or up to assist Kjell, or head back outside.

[The Forgotten God]

Outside:

Ceutinde: 154 spells
Silvia: 151 guns
Herneiros: 144/139 arrows of fire

The pair of marauders rush at Ceutinde, whose self defense spell cuts a jagged line near one of their eyes. The man grunts and continues his charge but runs into a flaming arrow from the sky courtesy of Herneiros. He collapsed on the ground heavily and gasped as his partner tried to ignore the pain to close to melee, but Silvia offhandedly shoots him right in the head with her pistol. She doesn’t even turn to look at him as she does, more intent on seeing new creatures emerging from more and more houses.

[Kjell Ó Raghallaigh]

Kjell holstered the gun and drew her sword, then turned to the man that had rushed her to kick him down the stairs or cut him up, whichever was more convenient.

[Silvia Raizer]

Silvia loaded her arquebus again and aimed at the next creature in range, as long as she has time to do that. If there#s not time to load, she will use her blades.

[The Forgotten God]

Kjell:

167/142/128/137

Man: eww

Kjell blocks the man’s strike with the haft of her axe and flicks her wrist to push his blade away, while her sword pierced the man’s throat, stomach and thigh in rapid succession. She ends the brutal streak by Leonidas kicking him down the stairs in a mangled bloody mess.

[Tehol Nookington]

Tehol goes towards the next fighting scene and pretends to be useful.

[Geoffrey Ravenhurst]

Herneiros steps back into this side of reality. With Elven words that defy the distinction between song and prose, Herneiros calls upon the gods of earth and heaven to reassert their dominion. The wizard exposes his soul so it might serve as a beacon that they might locate this particular stretch of infestation and cleanse it... he hums and screams and whispers in the same breath before pressing his palm into the ground before him.

Traditionally, most Elven Mist Hunters would deliver a solemn commandment or prayer at this point, to strengthen their own resolve as the gods channel their power through this fragile vessel. Instead, Herneiros cries out in the Imperial tongue,

"Fuck off, you ugly sons of bitches!!!"
