At the portal!
[13:36] Sigmund looks about at the assembled fighters. "were are not here for pride or glory, we are here to protect our home."
[13:36] As the fighters start to step through the portal, the enemy force starts moving almost immediately.. The large white bug steps back slowly, the black one and all the armored zombies in the front line start to advance on the attackers!
[13:38] Jay Voncloud holds his sword at the enemy "form a line!, let them come at us, we will strike them down in waves!", He grips his left paw, charging a spell
[13:40] Sigmund moved to the front, lowering his sheild and readying his glowing sword- ideal as a defender. "Here we go, brother..."
[13:42] Ruk stalked to Sigmund's side, his brow furrowed. This was going to be far different from the first time he ventured here, all those years ago. He shifted, ready to strike even though he had no weapon in hand. He didn't need one.
[13:43] Bedelia O'Meara stands, not in a battle pose, but simply at the ready. She has no weapons, but for the book in her hands... so she stays behind the others and begins to murmur prayers to her god for his power.
[13:44] Kain Harem draws his katana and prepares his own ready stance while folding his wings "Ill do my best..." he says before letting out a scolding hiss at the zombies and bugs
[13:45] The portal flares a moment as someone passes through it and suddenly a loud, dragonlike roar is heard. A winged creature comes quickly out of it and immediately turns upwards, spinning as it gains some altitude until it stops in the air, wings extending to begin to flap...revealing a female Extractum Vulpes Zerda! Vil'yer took a quick moment to look over the situation; it seemed she'd arrived in time...
[13:49] Shadow Warrior Bug lets out a feral-sounding growl as it approaches behind the rank of armored zombies.. Some type of acid appeared to be dripping from the odd appendage out, which it raised and aimed upwards, firing a jet of fairly, but not lethaly corrosive acid toward the flier above. The zombies advance towards the group.. They seemed different than normal zombies, somehow.. Not entirely listless. They seemed angry, and moved with a purpose.. And the armor and weapons they wore were certainly going to be a problem. The small horde of armored zombies would be upon the defenders next turn.. In the distance, the defenders could see Morgana moving, swinging a paw out.. The obelisk behind her glows red as more undead begin prying themselves out of the ground in the distance..
[13:52] Jay Voncloud snarls as the Bug pukes out at the flier, even though the attack isnt aimed at his force directly, it would shower down, he quickly barks "Split up, right and left, Dispatch the Zombies, aim for the weak spots!, ill try to thin their ranks!" he would order thrusting his paw forwards, sending out a lightning bolt, it hits one zombie, then bounces between 2 more
[13:54] Sigmund would move straight forward, moving slowly with his sheild ready, not going to risk a charge with Bedelia behind him. He calmy evaluated their armor for obvious weaknesses, his sword crackling with blue energy.
[13:59] Ruk had started to move before Jay had even finished speaking, but his ears picked up everything. Unarmored and unarmed, he didn't have the luxury of waiting for the enemy to reach him, he needed to strike first. Moving fast with no heavy gear to weight him down, he'd surge past Sigmund to the zombie on the party's right, throwing a punch at it's neck. Then, at the last moment, there is a crash like glass breaking, a razor sharp crystal blade springing out of his fur to try to take it's head off. Maybe he isn't so unarmed after all.
[14:00] Bedelia O'Meara plants herself in a spot to the side and behind Sigmund but close enough to affect as many undead as she can, raising her book to the heavens. A brilliance makes itself known from above, and bursts of what seems like harmless light to the living nondemons pepper the area around for ten meters, causing undead and demons to sear and bubble as if the sun were being pulled down on them.
[14:03] Kain Harem quickly flies to his left in order to flank the zombies and the bug "So many...." he mutters before stopping in midair. He then starts to channel a good bit of mana into his sword in the form of wind "Lets see if you can fly!" he shouts before casting a tornado spell among the group of zombies to the bug's right
[14:05] Vil'yer's ears perk as she sees the albino wolf charge forward into a group of zombies and she flies after him, doing a brief overhead circling until the wolf gets within the range of his attack. Then she roars and blasts a fairly large and high velocity ball of fire into the zombie group, trying to keep them off of him. The ball would explode to cause area damage on impact with the ground. Smoke emitted from the dragonfennec's nostrils.
[14:09] Vil'yer blinked as she saw the acid firing towards her and immediately shot upwards to avoid it. Afterwards she swooped down toward the group of zombies that the albino wolf was attacking. She roared as she fired a fairly large and high velocity ball of fire from her maws and into the zombie group, trying to keep them off of him. The ball would explode to cause area damage on impact with the ground. Smoke emitted from the dragonfennec's nostrils.
[14:12] Gustav Kuriga appears through the portal, completely disoriented for a few seconds. Looking around, he sees an intense battle going on, and draws his sword, ready to help however he can.
[14:14] As the tornado is formed and starts to circle around the zombies.. Unfortunately, it would rather effectively also begin to throw sand in all directions, both at the attackers and at the defenders.. The zombies don't really seem effected by the sand, but the chaotic winds do slow their movements.. They'd begin to move even more slowly as they began to suffer the light mage's spell, several more being baked and taken down by physical attacks and magic spells from the attackers, totaling a loss of more than half of the right force, eight in total.. The insectoid, indeed affected by the flying sand, let out a loud roar, knocking a couple zombies aside to make his charge for the group.. He appears to be heading right for sigmund, intent on getting to Bedelia, who appeared to be causing the most trouble for his allies.. As he approaches sigmund, he slashes two powerful clawed forwarms down at the gazelle. The zombies are delayed from reaching the main defense group for another round due to attacks made against them.
[14:16] Jay Voncloud coughs as the sand that was blown up engulfes him, causing him to stop and close hie eyes to stop sand getting into him, leavign the fox momenterially blind and unable to move as he chokes
[14:17] Sigmund sheilded his eyes from the flying sand, seeing the bug charge towards him. With a roar of fury, he braced himself and charged straight ahead. in addition to being a seasoned warrior, the dire gazelle weighed four hundred pounds WITHOUT his armor. He tilted the sheild a little, trying to smash the acid cannon with his charge.
[14:21] Ruk was like a whirlwind all his own as the others made their moves. No sooner did the first zombie's head come flying off than he kicked another, using it as a springboard to avoid the strikes and the flame raining down. A second blade sprouts from his other arm as he lands behind the bug, almost landing on it's tail amid the blinding hail of sand. The wolf would get a little tricky now, springing onto the bug's back to try and get hold of a horn, planning on using one of his blades on the beast's neck if he can.
[14:21] Bedelia O'Meara eeps at the sudden sand, sheilding her face with the book's cover. When she feels safer, she summons the power of Lugh once more and sends a ball of light magic in an uppercut to the nearest zombie, hopefully sending it to a true death.
[14:24] Gustav Kuriga coughing some at the sand, he quickly rips a strip of red cloth from his armor, wrapping it around his mouth to keep the sand from getting in too badly. Raising an arm to shield his eyes, he walks over to Jay and takes another strip of cloth and attempts to wrap that around his face as well, trying to allow him to breathe in the suffocating sand. "Jay, can you hear me? It's Gustav. Where do you need me?"
[14:25] Kain Harem eaps as he watches what he had done and brings his scarf up to cover his eyes "Damn, that was careless" he mutters before he would cause the tornado to stop. Soon afterwards, he would remove his scarf from his eyes and make for a gliding dive towards the zombies trying to plunge his sword into one of them
[14:35] Shadow Warrior Bug would sway to the side with a growl at that blow, the acid cannon on his arm broke open and spilled acid all over the ground nearby.. The bug reacted quickly though, seeming to utterly refuse to acknowlege the pain.. The bug attempted to unleash a flurry of slashes with it's three blades at the gazelle, attempting to occupy him defending, if not overwhelm him. It hunched slightly as it was landed on, but would react before the wolf likely had time to make his attack after having made so many other actions, attempting to slam it's carapaced tail into Ruk harshly to interrupt his assault.. The zombie hit by Bedelia's spell would be destroyed on the spot, another by Kaji's sword.. The ground of (now 6) armored zombies finally reached the main group, starting to swing weapons.. The other group, still mostly full in number, but slowed and weakened by the spell cast on them earlier, would start swinging at Kaji with rusted weapons of all sorts.. Behind them, the group would see the white insectoid and it's surrounding zombies burrow into the ground..
[14:37] Jay Voncloud coughs then nods as gustav wraps cloth around his maw, nodding a thank you He directs "gustav, to the right, Aid Kaji with that group" He pants, as his maw seeps witrh blue, turning around and summoning reinforcments
[14:37] Sigmund grunted, blocking the first two scythe claws with his sheild, power blocking at the third- if it bought him any space, he would slash at the join with his barbed sword, trying to at least damage it- though with his strength it was possible to sever the limb, if it hit just right. The sands had died down as the tornado had been dispelled.
[14:41] Ruk cussed as he was forced to scrap his attempt to attack, pushing off again to tumble into the sand. He wound up landing on one of the zombies, and scrambled to get back to his feet before others attacked. So much for his momentum.
[14:43] Bedelia O'Meara tries to move back out of the range of zombies, but yells out in pain as one hits her in the arm, cutting her deeply. Despite the pain, she manages to cast another ball of upwards light to another zombie, growing frantic now.
[14:46] Kain Harem growls as he sees the zombies approach him ready to attack. He starts to move back quickly as he begins to notice he was outnumbered "Gotta break them up somehow...." he says before noticing someone came to help "We gotta split them up!"
[14:50] Gustav Kuriga runs over to where he sees the dragoncat fighting the zombies and nods at his statement. Coming from the opposite side of the group of zombies, Gustav swings his bastard sword in a wide arc in front of him, glad that the putrefied flesh is easy for his sword to go through. Now that he's fully healed for once, he can move at full speed, coming back for another swipe at the group of zombies, using the range of his sword to keep out of reach from their weapons.
