Chim Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sigurd - Frontliners “Put your sword away, Bjorn.” Sigurd still held Orpheaus in a firm grip. “You don’t want to fight me. Even if you’re an old man, I won’t hold back,” he said while one of his hands found his sword. At that moment Marcus interrupted. Sigurd glanced at him to see what he had to say about Orpheaus’ encounter with the Gentleman. The Fire Templar looked surprised but kept his cool. “How can you stay calm after hearing this? That bastard didn’t even consider us worthy thus insulted us as warriors. And Orpheaus here might know something to kill him!” Sigurd said while pulling Orpheaus’ armor. Without waiting for an answer, he turned his face towards the Victonari. “Think about it. Don’t you know anything about the Gentleman?” he asked while still keeping an eye on Bjorn’s movements.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 8, 2014 Author Share Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Orpheaus-Frontliners "And it is Honorable to you to attack an unarmed man from behind, and hold his life as ransom for information, Sigurd? Even if I knew anything about this Gentleman, you will never get it from me this way. Unhand me, and drop your weapon. I am not your enemy here." said Orpheaus, passion glowing in his eyes. "No matter what you think of me as a warrior, to treat me as if I am a beast is not something a real warrior would do." Bjorn still held his sword, he never wavered even once. "Sigurd, if you do this, you are no Son of The North, release Orpheaus at once, or I will be forced to fight you." Chauff looked solemn, he didn't even speak. He stood silently, watching, not even sending a single quip out at the others, it was unnerving how silent he was. Jupiter-Wall Team The training was going smoothly for Jupiter. Even though the others hadn't thought of her as a leader before, she was pretty respected around town. They quickly listened to her (or suffered her wrath.), they started to steadily improve. SHe went to see how her new sister's group was doing, leaving the Harpies in charge of hers for the mean time. "Helze? Helze!! There you are! How is the training going over here?" Scout Team "Nero, we need to get out of here." said Odin. "I fear we are not ready for this fight. I am sure Steele can handle himself." The Black Knight moved towards Steele, brandishing a Disgusting Black Blade. It was wickedly curved and parts were covered in spikes. It looked like a tool to instill fear more than an actual weapon. He laughed madly the whole time, it echoing throughout the forest, most definitely alerting some of the undead nearby. Their shuffling could be heard nearby, and it sounded like an army was headed this way. Edited June 8, 2014 by Hukuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Orpheaus here might know something to kill him!” "Woah, calm there Breeze-Head." Marcus answered the other Templar. "I'm as surprised as you are but you know, where I come from there are better ways to get someone's help than at sword point. Besides, if he truly was as powerfull as that thing I don't think he would be asking you to let him go." he tried to reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Helzebeth - Wall Team Turning around to meet the silver-haired archer, Helzebeth quirked a smile. "Doing pretty well. So far, I haven't had to break up a fight, and neither has Hunter had to be.. Well, pushy." The huge wolf if question chewed on his paw passively, looking around for any troublemakers. "I don't suppose there'd be a.. Say, object that could throw projectiles or any moving targets for them to practice on? Surely the Undead would not just stand there to be shot," the half-Elf inquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 "I am sure Brass could work up something for us, perhaps we should go find him? I can lead you to his tent. and don't worry about them staying in-line once we go, I got my girls keeping an eye on things." Jupiter said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 The ranger nodded. "Hunter, you keep an eye on things while we're gone as well." With that, Hunter stood up and lumbered about, wandering along the firing ranges.Nodding to Jupiter, she then said, "All right, let's go." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Brass-Wall Team A strange rustle could be heard outside the tent, Brass wondered who it possibly could be. "Hold on a moment, Dru, we have visitors, though I know not who they could be." He said as he shuffled to the door. It was a bit funny watching him walk inside the tent, though it was huge, he still had to bend down slightly or risk taking the whole tent with him. It was evident Brass was giant, more so now then it had been for Dru. He opened the flap to see 2 women standing outside, both familiar to him. "Oh, something the matter with the archery training you two? Als o hello Jupiter, glad too see you took over control with Helze." ((I am not going to go over Jupiter's looks again for just Dru, but please do note, Silver hair, Emerald Green eyes, is currently and most likely always will be barefoot.)) "Huh what do you mean Brass?" the Silver-Haired Girl asked. Must of been Jupiter Dru thought to himself. "I mean I knew all about the little problems with you guys, I was just waiting to see if you could stand up for yourself. I find that quality important in people, especially leaders. How can you stand up for the others under your command, if you can't stand up for yourself?" Brass mused, seeming a little smug about the wisdom he just shared. "Anyway, what were you two here for?"

Flux Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 "Nero, we need to get out of here." said Odin. "I fear we are not ready for this fight. I am sure Steele can handle himself." Nero turned to Odin. "And if we are not ready now, when will we ever be? The only way to get stronger is to take down those above you. If we constantly flee from challenge, will we ever be truly different than when we fought the Gentleman?" He turned back to Steele. "If my illusions won't work..." he drew his sword from inside his cloak. "Then I'll simply have to rely on other skills." The footsteps of the army approached. "Besides, who's to say I cannot help against the lesser undead?" He muttered an incantation and waved his hand. The was a resounding crash in the distance to their right, followed by several resounding booms and shouts. "Perhaps that will draw the army away for a short while. For now, we can concentrate on this guy." He returned his gaze to Odin once more. "Warn the village of the threat they will face. Steele and I should be able to hold him off. I won't just let him die while I flee." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Steele and Odin- Recon Team "Alright, Lad, come back if you can." said Odin, sadness in his eyes. He didn't want 2 of them to lose their lives over this, but Nero had a point. Odin got Jeneve and both headed back to Passthrough, not looking back once. "So, you are staying? Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." Said Steele, a look of rage on his face. It wasn't directed at Nero, but more the Ugly Knight of Death, slowly trudging towards them. The air felt like it was full of evil energy, and unholy power. "Two pieces of Fresh Meat? Oh my day has gotten so much better." said the Hideous Creature. He now pulled out a second weapon. His sword was now accompanied by a Black Whip, covered Umbral Spines, something glinted on the ends. "Nero, I am glad I have someone to fight alongside. If we can survive, that would be grand, but as long as we take down this bastard, I don't care what happens." said Steele as he drew a long sword from his belt. It design was one Nero hadn't really seen much of before. He might have known it was called a Katana, but he had probably never seen one in his life. It was a simple Blade, made for one purpose, killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Nero - Scout Team "Nero, I am glad I have someone to fight alongside. If we can survive, that would be grand, but as long as we take down this bastard, I don't care what happens." Nero gave a dark chuckle. "As much as it would please me, I don't plan on leaving this cursed world yet. I still have a different grudge to settle." A look of surprise came over his face as Steele drew his sword. It seemed to be a longsword, just as Nero's was, but the blade was much thinner and had a curve to it. Furthermore, it was a single-sided blade, as opposed to Nero's double sided. Nero gave Steele a thin smile. "It seemes that blade knows its purpose. Let's put it to good use." He looked down at his own sword, its silver blade gleaming against the black hilt. There was a skull at the base of the blade, the same ebony color as the rest. He had had this sword made after his family had long since passed, to serve as a reminder that only death and destruction could truly exist in this world. He was about to prove that point.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Steele rushed forward, reckless abandon in his stride. He went to slash at the Death Knight's Head. He simply stepped out of the way, almost as if he had known exactly what he would do. "It pays of having lived for centuries, had to be taken by surprise. I have seen that sword style before." Having 2 enemies either side of him the Death Knight acted quickly. He cracked his whip, causing it to give off a shower of black energy. A Cloud of Darkness grew around him. It was a dense area of Umbral darkness, no light penetrated it at all. It slowly engulfed Steele and Nero both. It felt terrifying to know that the Death Knight could be anywhere, at anytime and you would never know it. "Are both of you ready for this fight?" rang out the dry raspy voice. "I will not fight opponents that are not ready to face me." Edited June 10, 2014 by Hukuna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chim Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Sigurd - Frontliners “I will not have you insult my village by calling my actions that off a coward. I merely drew my sword to protect myself against Bjorn, who was the first to draw his,” Sigurd said, still pointing his sword at Bjorn. He was blinded by his pride and hatred. A part of him just wanted to have a go at Bjorn and Orpheaus, but what Marcus said made sense. “It looks like you were just a waste of my time. I won’t be able to get any useful information since your survival was apparently a fluke.” Sigurd released Orpheaus and faced Bjorn. “Next time you draw your sword at me, it will be the last thing you do.” With that said he picked the nails up and walked away, furious.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Orpheaus-Frontliners "Marcus, and you lot. You should see to your friend. I am sure he doesn't want to see me anytime soon." Orpheaus said. "I fear for Sigurd. He has the same resolve my brother did. The very same resolve that forced me to end my brother's own life. Noble Ideals only can get you so far, but if you cling to them as if they are the only thing that matters, they will lead you down a twisted path. Though Sigurd is probably right, I am not worth my salt as a Warrior, I never wanted to be one, I am forced to." He sat down looking solemn. He felt like he did back when his brother said similar words to him. Back when his brother thought he could change everything for the better. His brother had gone down the wrong path, and He hoped Sigurd didn't as well. Bjorn stood there dumbfounded, he placed away his sword, but didn't move. The same with Chauff.

Flux Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) "Are both of you ready for this fight? I will not fight opponents that are not ready to face me." Nero began muttering another incantation under his breath. It would be difficult to fight without vision, that much was for sure. However, he could at least make it a little easier. He waved his hand, releasing the magic. It was a spell that would enhance his hearing, causing the soundwaves to bounce towards his ears. He muttered one more spell, two small balls of light appearing in his palm. He threw them into the air, and they stopped above his head and Steele's, following their movement. However, even the light had a difficult time penetrating this darkness. It simply reflected off of the swirling black clouds, gaining him no more than a foot or two of sight. He raised his sword, preparing to defend and counterattack at the first sign of danger. He would have a slight advantage over Steele, at least. His sword style was created by and taught only to the Darkwinter family of lords. He doubted any of his ancestors had played an important enough role in any battle to have met this knight. His moves would at least be unfamiliar to the knight, making blocking them more difficult. He called out to the knight. "Hiding behind the cover of darkness, eh? Most would call you a coward, but as an Illusionist and an rational fighter, I can see the logic behind it. Honor means nothing in battle. At the end of the day, it all comes down to who survived and who perished." He paused. "I'm ready when you are."

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 "Oh no this Darkness isn't for me to hide in, just for you to prepare for your inevitable doom." As he uttered Doom, the Darkness quickly dispersed. Nero could see the Knight standing deadly still, His entire hand Covered in flame. His Sword became engulfed with it, and he slung forth a Giant Fireball. This spell was powerful, so much so that it felt like it burned the very air around it. It would take a miracle to dodge it. Nero knew this, because as soon as it impacted, it would explode.Steele pivoted on his feet, and rushed forward. He started to level a blow towards the Knight. But the Creature's Whip wormed it's way onto his sword. He pulled Steele towards him, and then Punched him hard in the chest, sending him flying backwards.

Notus Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Marcus - Frontliners "Marcus, and you lot. You should see to your friend. I am sure he doesn't want to see me anytime soon." Marcus sighed after the scene was over. "Ok, I'll go see him. Not like I was being of much help here anyway." he said, starting to walk after Sigurd. He was quite curious about Orpheaus story with his brother, but it didn't look like the best time to be asking these things around. Besides, he was worried with the Wind Templar too. That fellow showed he could be quite the funny guy when feeling good, and the sudden outbursts he had with Orpheaus would surelly bring problems for him. He sped his pace a little and finnaly catched up with the Northener. "Hey Sigurd, can I walk with you a little?" Marcus asked, trying a calm approach.

Chevaleresse Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Xavier - Frontliners Before following the other Templars away, Xavier spoke to the scintillating Victonari. "Orpheaus, I have one question for you. Why do you fight?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Helzebeth - Wall Team The huntress nodded to the half-Orc in the background, and then to the Victonari. And then, of course, held her head up high again. "We'd just like to inform you that training for the men and women here are going well, and that we were wondering you would happen to have some sort of... Machinery, or any object of some sort that could launch various sized projectiles as moving targets," Helzebeth stated, being the straightforward type of person. It just never seemed right for her to waste words, time, or resources most especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure I can explain it all in a short amount of time, but if I don't fight......my people will die." Orpheaus said, looking forlorn. "Remember, not all of us fight because we want to." Brass-Wall Team "I am afraid we don't Helze, however, I think I can help, I think Dru can as well." Brass said, his voice crackling like the Earth. "I am glad to hear the training is going well, I knew I made a good choice picking you Helze, I also knew you would do well Jupiter. Any Let's all get moving, I have a plan for this advanced training." "Alright Brass, I suggest we get going so we can get whatever this knucklehead's plan is together." said Jupiter, a playful smile on her face.

Jory Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Drug'Thok Grunara- Wall Team Dru returned Helzebeth's nod with a stony gaze. He hadn't really gotten a chance to get to know the huntress yet, but he was under the impression that if there was one person in the group he never wanted to be on the other end of, it was Helzebeth. Her limber, catlike movements suggested an athletic ability far superior to the half-Orc's own. He chuckled quietly to himself, then turned his attention to the conversation at hand. After Jupiter finished speaking, the sorcerer stepped out of the shadow of the tent, his hood still drawn down as his cloak fluttered lightly. The dim light of day showed off Drug'thok's Orcish complexion, a feature usually hidden deep within the folds of his cloak. Next to the Victonari, the sorcerer looked comically short. "I agree. I will be glad for something to do. I was getting a little restless in there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Yes, let's get some work done. I have full confidence in Hunter, but even I cannot fully control such a beautiful and intelligent force of nature when it is enraged and impatient."

Flux Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Nero dove into a roll as the fireball approached. He recognized the spell, and knew that it wouldn't be enough to completly dodge it, but he hoped to at least avoid major injury. As he rolled, he released what minor wind magic he knew, creating a shield that would help buffer against at least some of the flames. When the fireball hit the ground, the explosion was deafening. Nero put his arms over his face as the flames approached. His shield didn't last long, flames licking at his coat. He was thrown back from the impact, and his arms were scorched. He looked up in time to see Steele get thrown backwards by the knight's punch. While the knight was distracted, he ran in, stabbing at the knight. It was a move his tutor had taught him so long ago. He would approach with a simple stab, but when the foe moved to block or evade, a simple flick of the wrist would change it into an upward swipe. He hoped it would catch the knight off guard.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 The Death Knight - Scout Team The Knight didn't flinch, only waiting for Nero to approach, he didn't know what Nero was planning. It was only his crazy fighting style that was the reason he stood still. He made no atempt to dodge, He only flicked his whip towards Nero's Leg Quickly. The Black Umbral Tentacle surged towards him, the spikes threatening to plunge into his flesh. He now aimed his nasty sword at him as well taking a downward slash. Steele Steele bit his lip, the force of the punch had knocked the wind out of his body. He struggled to regain his breathe the smell of death filling the air, made him queasy. He stood, regaining his footing, and his posture. He waited to entirely catch up before making another move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
