Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

Damn Mithra mutter before press her teeth, feeling the effect of the attack that the alien lord has sended to them, she could feel her body get weak in just a blink, as the hole in the creature get closed. This looks like an usseles battle, there could not be maybe even a minor chance of beat this thing, but she cant give up or show doubts, her partners need her to stay fighting, there was not turning back this time. Just after feel her kneels start to fail and her sisters in arms fall at theirs kneels she shout with determined voice, as she get close the two closers girls, not losing any second Dinara, Belle ! Get up and throw me to that foul creature. Quickly she get over the girls and let them get up and send her flying toward the alien, each moment looking the chances of success, if she manage to reach enought high she will take her sword from her belt and in the same motion make a long swing with both hands on her weapon, trying to cut as much of the creature, trying to taste the moment of the damage than the creature will feel and filling her spirit with energy to continue the fight.

Disperse and shoot!!! She order to her fellow elves as she acrobatically land and roll at the floor to move away as much as she can to defend of the monster upcoming attack.

Of course than her sisters could not throw her, Mithra could use that moment to shoot her aura blast using her sword, pulling her spirit aura energy on her blade or she could fly and feel her energy melting away as she fight in the air with the monster, but that could be a suicide.

Spoiler

attack using all skills availables than can be used here

Move Mithra away of all the others allies, the remain archer will move to other side to make distance and then shoot, the two elfs will try to stay away of the others but more away of the angel. In case than Mithra need three arches to reach the alien, then i would need to change the part of the orders and Mithra will order to them to aid her and then prepare to get away of the angel and Eva, also of mithra

@plmnko: You can use any skills you want on this attack, and you also shouldn't leave those sorts of decisions up to me. In the future, just say what skills you want to use and I'll let you know if circumstances say that you can't. You also really need to keep up with the rules changes on your sheet without me having to poke you to do it, Smite was combined with a bunch of other skills and became Spirited Attacker and some of the skills on your sheet were changed. Also, I'm not letting you use any skills with variable inputs because you didn't specify one.

@Flayer: You can only fight defensively if you're actually making an attack roll, and the room's practically empty so there's no cover. There are technically no rules for direction in DG, but there's not much distance for you to move backwards unless you want to leave the room. Also, I forgot your buff from Dark Armor last round, so I increased your HP at the start of this one by a corresponding amount.

Eva summons 3 elder mages. 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 EP, meaning her total costs for the round are 30 EP, which is a total cost of 36 EP and 6 HP. You'd have been right on about HP/EP totals if I'd remembered Dark Armor last round.

Mithra orders two of the archers to help her jump to reach the elder lord, and attacks using lightning strikes, battle dance, and death from the draw.
Attacks: All three hit.
Damage per hit: 1 + 6 + 25 + 2 + 21 - 4 = 51 * 3 = 153 damage.
Drain Through Pain: 5 + 6 - 4 = 7 EP drained per hit.

The elder lord uses Chaos Curse followed by Life Steal on one of the faerie mages, each with 20 points of defensive fighting, and also takes off so that it's out of reach.
Attacks: Chaos Curse only misses Mithra. Life Steal hits.
Damage (Chaos Curse) : 4 + 9 + 2 + 2 = 17 * 5 = 85 damage. More than enough to knock out Aezralia, Eva, and the elves.
Damage (Life Steal) : 4 + 4 + 12 + 2 + 2 = 24 * 2 = 48 - 8 = 40 damage, the elder lord regains 20 HP.

Eva and Mithra sprung into action immediately despite the agony threatening to drive them both to unconsciousness, and the elven adventurer's words caused her kin to spring quickly into action. Dinara and Belle immediately dropped to their knees fully and created a pair of steps for Mithra to jump onto, and they helped her to vault up into the air at their foes while Agnes began moving away so that they'd be more spread out. Eva, in the meantime, began backing towards the open doorway only for the fleshy walls to close in, leaving her trapped against the wall. The sidhe called to her kin for aid, and in her desperation she was answered by three of the mightiest of her kind. A faerie mage appeared at each of the corners of the room, fading into view at each of the points in the tower's top chamber to form a rough compass.

Mithra spun as she rose into the air, bringing her sword out of its sheath and slashing at the alien as she ascended. Her first cut took of a few tentacles from its underside, and she turned again in the blink of an eye. The second strike that she laid upon the deadly alien tore a wide gash open in its grey flesh, running from its left hip to just under its right shoulder. Again she spun in mid air, the whole series of strikes taking little more than a second in total as she delivered a final stabbing slash across the side of its head, shaving off a chunk of it.

It was as Mithra was coming down, and Aezralia was preparing to finish the thing that the elder lord's spell went off. Power exploded outwards from it, lashing out like a thousand whips, and suddenly every part of Eva exploded in raw agony that drove the sidhe from her feet. There was no resisting the pain, no amount of will that could see her still standing, and even as she writhed in pain she felt the dark magic slowly rending apart her soul. The elves they'd brought with them suffered worse, as they didn't even have time to scream before they dropped, and it was impossible to tell whether or not they still lived. Aezralia weathered the magical assault no better, and she was driven to a knee, her eyes widened in raw agony, before falling onto her front with her wings spread wide. Mithra's aura and the fading effects of Eva's spiritual blessing saw her through the assault without any undo harm, but the burst of magic sent her flying aside to slam into the tower wall just above the doorway.

The agile elf bounced off of the fleshy barrier, but her reflexes with her aura active were such that Mithra dropped to the ground and landed smoothly on her feet. As such, she was able to watch as the alien rose back into the air until it almost touched the ceiling, well beyond her reach from the ground. It turned its attention upon the faeries that Eva had summoned, sending a bolt of energy at one that caused the caster to seize suddenly, shivering in pain as a chunk of its life force was torn away to help partially seal the wounds that she'd caused in her spinning slice.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

As she slowly and painfully made her way back to the doorway, the damn thing closed right in front of her eyes, trapping her and the rest of them within the place. Though she was able to drop to her knees and summon her kin to their aid, more than a bit amazed that her summons had worked, as their luck thus far hadn't been very good... mostly because of her and her inexperience in fighting. Gods and she'd thought that she could handle things like this... shows how much she knew didn't it. She knew that at this point, the elder mages of her kind were their only hope most likely, as she was now pretty much too weak to help, but that didn't stop her from trying to get back up and begin aiding her friends again.

However as she looked up at Mithra in the air as she tried to hit the foul beast once again, the elf coming back down towards the ground, she watched as the elder lord blasted yet another spell at them, sending her flying back into the doorway where her head slammed against the fleshy doors. It wasn't this that knocked her out, as the pain from the attack on her was simply so great and painful that she literally began sobbing in agony, both from the pain of over burning her own spiritual energies in her summoning, along with the force of the attack on her. She felt her soul shattering to pieces as she fell from the doors to her knees, and then all she could see was the floor rushing up to meet her. The last thoughts in her mind before her vision went black were why had the gods forsaken them all in this terrible place, and why was she so damn weak that she couldn't help her friends enough to at least get them out alive. Because really, that was what hurt her the most, the thought that it was her fault that they had lost because she was too inexperienced and too weak to be trying to fight in battle like this.

The only thing that Eva could really do at this point was hope and pray to whatever would listen that they would make it out of there alive and not as thralls to these fucking aliens, that her summoned kin could get them out of this debacle she'd gotten them into. "P-Please everyone... f-forgive me. P-Please help us... m-my kin," was the last and only thing really that Eva was able to say before falling over, her face slamming into the floor and her consciousness fading away from her.

Spoiler

If it's possible, I suppose the hurt elder mage could move next to Eva and cast a healing spell on them both, to heal herself and to bring Eva back into the fight. Though I'm not sure how much good she'd really be. But maybe she could heal the 3 elf girls so they don't like you know... die, and Aezralia as well.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

With an amazing speed and skilled moves, the blonde elf swordswoman swing her weapon causing deadly wounds on the huge alien as she climb with each strike and then after wound his head she fall, not as she expected as the creature send an attack similar in power as the last one, however the great power flowing at her make her being able to avoid any harm even when she get sended away toward the meat wall.

Mithra fall at the floor without harm, but her eyes wide open by what just had happened, Evangeine, Agnes, Dinara, Belle and even the powerful Aezralia had fallen by the cruel creature spell. That instant feel like eternal as her sisters in arm fall without even make a sound, the three elves could be dead, years before she even helped them to be fine hunteress, maybe after all these years of deads had made her hide her feelings to them, but deep inside her heart she see them as her youngers sisters and brother, each dead of them has made her lost parts of her own soul. Her bue saphire eyes start to let fall tears, she nearly went to aid them but, she cant do that, not now when this powerful foe is here breathing polluting the place with his vile prescence and will certainly kill them all or turn them into minions to then attack and erase her land.

Then she notice the creature attacking some unknown persons close Evangeline body, she start to talk, Please... she was close to ask them to help her friends, but she bite her own lip until let free a little drop. she at the instant forget her individual wishes and remember their fight against the slimes, Finish him!!!

Mithra shout to them not interested in see if they do it, her aura surround her get bright for an instant as she let frow more power around her to activate a new power. Soon her feet's werent touching the floor and wait with her eyes filled with fury to see who will the target of the creature, just when this start to shoot his attack she will move as fast as she could trying to get away of the monster area spell with an speed than she havent tried in her life, she will then reach the creature to cut it as before, even if she was the target, she would be helpful for the strangers than could have the time to kill it.

Spoiler

Action: activate fly and then use evasive moves to get out of the monster area, then after the monster attack she will get closer. [(base speed+ battle ura)(5) thanks to flight must be more than enough to dodge moving away and then get closer to attack the second turn unless the alien get killed or rolls get bad ]

At the second turn attack the creature with the same skills as the last turn (not use sword dance if the hp dont is high enough)

Mithra activates Flight for 3 EP, paying her upkeep for Battle Aura costs her 5 EP, so that's a total of 8 EP out. Her Spirit Ceiling of 7 means that that's 9 EP and 1 HP.

The injured elder mage heals itself with Nature's Grasp.
Casting: Success.
Healing: 6 + 2 + 12 + 4 = 24 * 4 = more than 40.

The nearest elder mage runs up and uses Nature's Grasp with Glowing Presence.
Casting: Success.
Healing: 4 + 5 + 12 + 4 = 25 * 3 = 75 HP restored.

The third elder mage prepares a counter spell against the elder lord with Counterspell.
Casting: Success.

The elder lord uses Nature's Grasp on itself (popular spell this round) and then casts Mana Leak on the elder mage that cast the healing spell. The healing spell is the one that could get countered.
Casting: Both succeed.
Resistance: Elder Lord wins via nat 20.
Healing: 2 + 6 + 12 = 20 * 3 = 60 damage healed.
Attack: Hit.
Damage: 4 + 1 + 10 + 2 = 17 * 4 = 68 damage.
The elder lord drains 23 EP from the elder mage.

I'd do another round, but Eva is up and so Flayer has choices to make. You don't need to post again if you don't want to plmnko, I'll update after Flayer's post either way.

Taking off into the air, Mithra flew upwards towards the alien lord, but for the moment it ignored her and turned its attention toward the fey that Eva had called into the battle. She drew near relatively unmolested, but not before the battle on the ground developed. Firstly, the faerie that the alien had attacked quickly cast a spell to heal itself, restoring the normal flow of its life force. The one that was closest sprinted into the midst of their group, and cast a spell that washed over those that had been struck by the alien's terrible spell, and Eva felt her tattered essence suddenly stabilize as it was washed in the magic of her kindred. The sidhe opened her eyes to see her other comrades stirring around her, the elves and Aezralia likewise healed, and the angel even managed to climb up onto shaking feet. The last of the mages stayed in place as the floating alien began working its dark magic again, and attempted to prevent itself from finishing one of the spells that it had attempted to cast. That effort failed, and the mage that had awakened Eva and the others was struck by a spell that drove the faerie to her knees and had her shivering in agony as a portion of her soul was ripped from her body.

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

As Evangeline lay there, completely unconscious after the massive spiritual blow she took from the elder lord, she suddenly felt her consciousness coming back to her. She raised her head up and looked around to see Aezralia, Agnes, Dinara, and Belle all waking as well. The first thought that flashed through her mind was that the elder lord had been defeated by her kin and Mithra, but then she saw one of her kin shivering in pain down on her knees, and when she saw this, Eva jumped up to her feet, though it was painful to say the least.

"C-Come on my kin... please, kill that abomination... we must... so that its evil can't spread any more around here or around our world," Evangeline called to her kin to attack the elder lord with everything that they had as she prepared her spirit energy again to help everyone in the fight once more, knowing that she wouldn't be much help when it came to actually hurting the elder lord most likely. She prepared her energy once more, flashing it out to help all of her friends in the fight against the cruel foul beast.

Now that Eva was back in the fight, she knew that she had to stand her ground and stay conscious... for the sake of her companions. She couldn't allow her friends as well as her kin to be taken or killed by this damn thing and its minions, and she knew that they were depending on her to help, so she would try and stand her ground against any attack, not wanting to allow herself to go down again.

Rising to her feet, Eva enacted her magic, and a wave of strength washed over the angel, the elven archers, and the badly wounded mage that had healed them. Looking up, each of them prepared to fire something at the floating alien that they battled, but it was Mithra who was able to strike at it first. The elven warrior reached the monster in mid air as it backed against the ceiling, and slashed at it repeatedly with her sword, first taking off more of its tentacles before drawing her blade along its abdomen and opening up a long slit, and then finally taking off its head completely.

The elder lord spasmed in mid air once, and then plummeted, following its severed head to the ground where it fell in a heap of boneless grey flesh. Aezralia slowly released the energies she'd been preparing with a sigh, and the elder mages did the same as they looked up, before the one near Evangeline collapsed to her knees with a pained hiss. The elves, too, lowered their bows, though they still held them at the ready, and Aezaralia asked aloud what the other two were likely thinking; "Is it... Over?" The tower itself was silent other than their panting breaths, and Mithra could see no movement that didn't belong to her allies in the cavernous room.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

At a full speed, Mithra prepare herself to slay the creature than has beaten her whole team, her whole self is completely focused at her mission, so she dont notice what had hapened just a moment ago, at an instand she cornner the creature at the ceiling and slashing it with all her spirit, ripping his tendrils with a single blow, leavibg it exposed for a deep long wound at his body, causing the alien blood leave the strange creature body at a potent stream, finally with the monster at his lasts breath, she made a final cut direct to the monster head, all this in just a pair of seconds. In not time both the creature body and head fall down at the floor, leaving just a puddle of alien parts at the meat floor.

With the battle ended, the blonde swordswoman look down to the creature corpse and hwhere her allies should be, she was close to go to help them but then she notice than the three unknown persons had already heal them, she was close to fly toward them but then the angel words make her doubt of theirs safety, the place looks dead, very silent for her likes, she move down and she check the creature corpse to completely be sure than it is dead as also collect any useful part from him.

The others creatures could had escaped now than theirs leader has been defeated, but i would preffer to take care of as many as possible so they cant hurt any other innocent at the future She said as she clean her sword with a quick swing andd after check again and dont be able to find anyone she could stop her buffs so she coud rest a little and recover her energy

Spoiler

Turn off all except flying

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

As Evangeline used her buffing magics on as many of them as she could reach, she watched as Mithra made it to the top of the room and slashed the elder lord's head clean off after slashing several tentacles away as well as cutting its abdomen open, all in all quite thoroughly killing it as it had nowhere else to run. They had killed it... and as soon as it dawned upon her, Evangeline fell to her knees as she dropped all of her buff magics on her and her friends, her body feeling quite weak after all of that as she started crying softly, tears of happiness as well as tears of sadness. Happiness that they'd killed the elder lord, and sadness because they had likely been too late to save very many people. But she knew that she couldn't give up now altogether on them all, she had to get up and at least go and try to find as many people as she possibly could.

"Y-Yes we killed it... but it isn't over yet, we must secure the area and make sure that all of the prisoners that are still able to be saved are saved," Evangeline said to everyone, unsteadily rising to her feet as she noticed one of her summoned kin was hurt quite badly and moving to her aid. Evangeline, despite knowing that she had little left in the way of spiritual energies intended on helping her kin at least a little bit. She placed her hands on her kin and pushed some of her energies out in the form of her healing powers in order to ease her suffering some. "There you go, now my kin... please, we still have need of your help in this place, we need to find everyone that we can and save them, then your payment can be given to you all," Evangeline added to her kin once she had healed the wounded one a bit, a pleading look on her face.

Once they were all down there and ready to continue on and after Mithra had taken all she could from the elder lord as trophies, sharing what she could Eva hoped, Evangeline would unsteadily get back to her feet once more after resting as much as she could before they continued on back down to try and rescue anyone that could be saved.

Spoiler

Dropping Blessing at the beginning of the round before anything else so it doesn't take any more EP from Eva, and then using Lay on Hands with 8 EP on the most hurt elder fey mage before resting for a few minutes if we can spare the time to recover our EP.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

Once Mithra had ended to calm herself and take what she can from the corpse, she had a bad throught of what could happen now with the possible empty tower.

I will go out and see if the creatures havent escaped to our town direction, Mithra said as she move to the exit and cast an spell over her, flying to go faster and get any clue about where the others aliens are, as the most common is than they had excaped unless someone had taken the leader place and decided to payback the death of the elder lord.

The blonde warrior turn to her sister's in arms and trying to hide her feelings just nod to them before give her orders. Agnes, Belle and Dinara, i need than the three protect Miss Evangeline until she recover, but Evangeline i recomend than all continue moving and looks for any person in need, each second is precious now. Once she said it, her figure vanish from the sight of all as she fly toward the outside as fast as she could.

Spoiler

Activate Invisibility and then Phasing as she goes out the room flying so she can check any ambush out the room and then go out to check where the creatures had move after they had run away the tower. I hope to just need to fly two turns to get out the tower, but if Mithra need anothers two or five turns then use healing spells lvl 1 to restore some hp as she fly away

 

[Mind Flayer]

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

"Alright Mithra, but be careful alright, we don't know what might have happened when he was killed. If you need to, get Violet and Lavender to help you if they're willing to do so. But I can't do much until I recover at least a little bit of my energies Mithra, as they are how I fight after all," Evangeline said in response to Mithra's words, looking over at the 3 elven archers and smiling. "Hey you three... would any of the two of you mind helping me to pay my kin here?" Evangeline asked Agnes, Belle, and Dinara, a slightly naughty grin on her face. She would then explain to them how they would have to help pay the elder mages if they asked, assuring them that it was well worth it for the help they received from her kin.

Evangeline knew that she couldn't take too long, but she had to try and at least regain a little bit of her energies before risking another fight. She turned to her 3 summoned kin with a slightly pleading look. "Can the three of you help us try and find anyone that might need rescuing? And then after we manage to secure the entire tower, we can focus on giving you your payment, because it's too dangerous at this point to do so, and it would leave us too weakened to fight any further. Surely you can make an exception just this once to help us a bit more, as I don't intend on trying to escape having to pay you two, but I won't be able to do it for all three of you, so I'll need at least Mithra and or any of our other elven friends here to be willing to accept bearing offspring for a couple of you, unless Aezralia would consent to bear one of your offspring, in which case Mithra or any of them could do so for whoever I don't and Aezralia doesn't take," Evangeline asked her three summoned kin, all but begging them to continue helping them for the time being until they could make certain it was safe enough for them to receive their payment, whether it was inside or outside the tower she didn't really care, all she cared about was saving everyone they could from this place.

If her summoned kin consented to continue helping them for now, Evangeline would sit back and rest for a few minutes, only long enough to recover some of her spiritual energies she'd spent in the battle, after which she would get up and lead whoever was still in there with her out and back down a ways unless there were other rooms up there where they were at the moment. In which case she would lead her summoned kin through there while Aezralia took the 3 elven archers and explored elsewhere so they could maximize their search and find people quicker.

Mithra gains a greybrain

"I don't know if they'd have noticed," Aezralia remarked as Mithra slowly floated back to the ground. "Most of them are automated, and I doubt that any of them would have noticed the sounds of the battle through these walls." The faerie that Eva healed, a lithe pale sidhe with blond hair and ram-like horns, wearing nothing besides a tight-fitting green dress, threw her a smile as her wounds healed and said; "Thank you very much dear~ I'll be sure to pay you back for that later!" The other two mages moved in as Eva gathered herself and spoke of freeing any other captives of the place, and each of them nodded along with the elven archers at her words. One of the sidhe even said; "That would be best, aye. We'll have to destroy this place after we're a safe distance away."

Checking over their foe's body, Mithra found that it would give the occasional twitch but offered no threatening moves, and in the slash that she'd made across its body she spotted something glowing. Parting the gooey flesh with her sword, Mithra found a large grey stone that pulsated with powerful magics, one that she could knew could be quite useful if used in enchanting, or could sell for a great deal if she found no use for it in that. Receiving her orders, the three elven archers nodded to Mithra and took up positions around the door while she cast her spells, first vanishing from sight and then granting herself the ability to move through walls. Invisible and ethereal, Mithra phased through the wall of the tower and looked down to find nothing visible beyond what she'd expected. She couldn't spot the two slimes they'd left outside through the cover of trees, but the corpses of the dead aliens had been left right where they'd fallen, and there weren't any signs of any others. Where she wanted to go from there was up to her, as she hadn't seen where they'd awakened yet, which was likely somewhere on the bottom floor.

Back inside the tower, in the meantime, Eva felt the aftereffects of the alien's magic finally wearing off, and when she asked the elves to help her pay the sidhe, they all glanced at one another. "What do you mean?" Dinara asked, and after Eva gave her explanation on what she'd meant, the three looked slightly embarrassed. "I am.... Promised to another already. I am sorry, but I cannot help you in this!" Belle said, after which Agnes frowned and added; "I am unbound, but.... I am not sure that I am yet prepared to have children. I am sorry, Evangeline, but I cannot aid you in paying this price." Dinara, in the meantime, blushed and said; "I... You have fought beside us valiantly in the defense of our home... I will.... Submit myself. If I must." The elf seemed highly embarrassed to be saying as much, but one of the sidhe, a woman with dark skin and hair that was a mix of white and red, who also possessed the ears and tail of a wolf, chimed in and said; "Don't fret over it dear, we'll make sure you enjoy it~ And it'll be over before you even know it!"

Suddenly, Aezralia chimed in, speaking in a completely casual tone; "I'll help you pay their price, miss Evangeline." If Eva expressed any surprise at this as the three elves and even the three sidhe did, the angel would simply shrug with a smirk and say; "I've done it before, more than once."

When Eva begged her kin to continue aiding them, the other sidhe all looked surprised, and the last of them even looked slightly affronted. "Of course we're still going to help you! What do we look like, mercenaries!?" said the insulted one, a woman with dark hair and olivine skin that had patches of violet scales on it, and a lizard-like tail with similar scales sticking out of her backside. "We wouldn't leave one of our own to face the invaders when we could do something about it, don't worry child!" said the wolfish one, and then the blonde added; "We'll see you safely away from this place before we even think of payment, rest assured~"

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

As she float down, Mithra heard the angel words, however she still doubt than this intense battle has passed unnoticied by the strange creatures living here and the lost of the alien leader will certainly be noticed soon. Understood, then i will try to just secure the outside of the tower before check for survivors. Mithra add, expecting than the captured people of this place have been turned in mindless slaves, she is sure than these poor victims would had wished to be destroyed before turn into eternal vessels for these creatures, a favor than she will do for them soon when the time come.

She soon ended to check the alien corpse and found what she know is a greybrain, a very useful item than she could use in the future. Once this ended she vanish from her allies sight and fly to the exit, each second she could feel her body getting dry of her energy, she know from the start than she dont have too much time to make her moves, so once outside she make a quick check and notice than there werent sign of more aliens, yet dont see the two slime girls make her start to think than these could be trying something yet without any clue at the moment she should pass this for the moment and focus on her work. Quickly she go down and casted a summon spell, calling a mole than could remain hidden and inform her of any creature leaving or getting inside the tower, then she ly as fast as she could inside again, to the lower rooms, changing her eyes thanks to her shiftbody soccubus skills to see better at the darkness, she needed to find any monster than she could and beat it as fast as possible so she could clean this cursed place of her foes.

Spoiler

1st turn: cast "summon mole" to dont use too much ep, use shapeshifter to change a tentacle to Night Eyes then go at full speed inside the tower to the straight path then we dont choice.

2nd.- if she dont find a target fly without use any action so she can move faster, meanwhile try to spot any creature

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

"Hmm... I suppose that's true Aezralia, most of them probably wouldn't notice, which means that we need to find them all and rescue whoever they've still got trapped within. But I won't be much good in a fight at the moment, so unless I have a chance to rest I won't be able to help you all too much in a fight, but I doubt that I do have the time to rest if we're to save everyone we can in here," Evangeline said in response to what Aezralia had said, knowing that she needed to rest, but that she couldn't at the moment most likely, as the people they were there to save would be lost most likely in the time it took to regain her strength. "And you're welcome my kin, it's the least I could do for the help you gave us. And you're right, we won't be able to destroy it from inside here without killing ourselves. Though I don't know if I have enough power to take this place down even with all of your help," Evangeline added, first to her summoned kin that she'd healed, and then to the wolfish one that said they'd have to evacuate a ways off to destroy the terrible place.

When she mentioned what the elven women would have to do in order to help Eva pay her kin for their help, Evangeline couldn't help but giggle a bit at them all, understanding Belle's and Agnes's not wanting to do it to help. "I understand you both, so don't worry I won't try and fore you into it or anything. But... if I'd summoned a fourth one of my kin like I started to do, then one of you would most likely have had to if Mithra wasn't able to for some reason," Evangeline said, ending with a bit of a chuckle. "And thank you Dinara, my kin will not hurt you, I wouldn't have asked any of the three of you for your help in this matter if I thought for even a second that they might hurt any of you," Evangeline added to Dinara, trying to ease any fears she might have had about the whole thing.

When Aezralia spoke though and stated that she would help her to pay the price afterwards, Evangeline was simply amazed. She hadn't intended on asking Aezralia, for fear that as an angel she'd never had sex before and would tell her flat out no, and hearing that the angel had done it before made Eva's eyes go even wider than they already were. "Wow, I didn't know. You honestly don't look like you've had to bear children ever before. I was thinking you hadn't and would get mad if I asked you to do so and just flat out refuse," Evangeline said to Aezralia, openly showing her surprise about Aezralia's words when she stated that she'd born children before.

"Thank you my kin... all three of you. Please believe me, I didn't mean it like that at all, I merely thought that since you'd already done what I asked of you that you'd want your payment to leave now, and we really need your help because I effectively can't fight much any longer at the moment I think. You have my gratitude," Evangeline replied to her kin, bowing her head in thanks to the three of them. "I can't remember if I've introduced myself properly yet actually. I'm Evangeline, my friends here are Agnes, Belle, Dinara, Aezralia, and the other elf girl's name is Mithra. I came from Therion to try and help the hidden village out here and ended up having to call for more help. I don't really know where Aezralia is from as I haven't gotten the chance to sit down and actually talk with her yet, and all of the others come from the hidden village," Evangeline added to her kin, giving a quick introduction of everyone to her kin. Evangeline also kind of had her eye on which of her three kin she planned on bearing a child for, if they hadn't already chosen between themselves who was getting her that is. Evangeline was eying the wolfish sidhe, though all of them were stunning beauties in their own way and she wouldn't have minded having all three of them and having triplets, one by each of them, but she knew that pregnancies didn't work like that as far as she knew.

"Alright then, we should start searching around for other captives while Mithra is looking around for any of our foes that might be trying to run out, I doubt that anyone that's been in here a while can hold out for very long. I don't like the idea of splitting up, but I believe we might have to in order to cover more ground quicker and save the ones we came to try and save while destroying this place. Though I'll understand if any of you have don't like that plan and want to take a vote on it, and I'm open to suggestions if you all have any," Evangeline said, ready to move out and begin searching the tower for prisoners to save, though she was quite tired at the moment, she would simply have to deal with it for now. Evangeline drew her bronze sword from its sheath and prepared herself to fight, planning on putting herself in between the archer trio and whatever might be coming at them, hoping to give the three of them a couple of extra seconds to move back some and away from whatever she was distracting, while Aezralia and her kin blasted their foes with magics and spiritual energies.

Spoiler

Start heading out, splitting the group up into two teams of Eva and her summoned kin, and Aezralia and the elf girls, unless they do a majority vote against it and decide not to split up to find people faster.

Summoning a mole outside to keep watch and then proceeding inside, Mithra floated through the wall and took the other path that led into the depths of the tower, rather than the one that led up. She found herself within another large, oddly shaped chamber, one containing a number of translucent flaps that appeared to open up into more rooms. She could see movement within some of them, and there were about three dozen in all that lined the walls, though only six of them seemed to be occupied. There didn't seem to be any other entrances of exits from this room, and she couldn't see anything else even with her enhanced vision.

"It shouldn't be a problem between all of us," the blond sidhe replied plainly, waving off Eva's concerns about being unable to destroy the tower on their own. Later, Eva's reply to Aezralia's comment about having had children before drew a sharkish grin from the angel, who replied; "I've likely done a number of things that you'd never have thought of me~ Perhaps later I'll show you some of them!" She winked suggestively at Eva, and the three sidhe giggled at the angel's suggestion comment, after which the draconic one said; "Oh really? Perhaps you'd like to show me a thing or two as well~ " Grinning, Aezralia replied; "Perhaps~"

After that the three sidhe listened to Eva's introductions impassively, nodding to each introductee in turn, before the wolfish sidhe seemed to notice Eva's interest, causing her to giggle and say; "Already picked who you're going to reward have you~ I can't say that I mind! You must have spent a lot of time around mortals if you've started using your name so easily. My last given name was Sindel, so you may call me that as well!" The woman offered a slight bow after giving her name, and the blond sidhe with the ram horns was the next to introduce herself; "My last lover called me Felicia, and I've gone by that ever since." Finally, the draconic sidhe introduced herself; "Cremily, or Crem for short~"

With that out of the way, the others glanced at one another at Eva's suggestion. Aezralia was the first to speak; "There's only one way out of this room anyway, and if we have to we can split up later. For now, lets just go back down to that intersection that we didn't take." The others nodded, and allowed Eva to lead the way back down, going through the middle chamber where she'd obliterated the hunters and then back down to the ground floor. Taking the opposite fork, they stepped into the same room in which Mithra was picking a doorway, a fact that wouldn't be lost on Mithra even though none of them could detect the invisible, ethereal, floating elf in their midst.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

Once she has leaved the mole to inform her of any creature moving around the tower, the blonde elf fly as quickly as she could deep inside the aliens hideout. Her night eyes could soon notice than there were a lot of doors and at least 6 of them have someone inside, it was a really critical moment, her energy was ending and she still is injured from the last battle, with so many foes she was close to return to get recovered, but then she notice how her allies reached the same place where she is now.

With so many creatures here, Mithra attempts to talk with them could make all worse and they would be spot before they could do anything. At least she has said than she would come back for survivors and the only place where they could be is this place, so soon or later Eva and the others will know than she is here.

Not having too much time, Mithra will go to the most closer room, if she find any alien there she will slay them at the most silent way possible, she couldnt use her full power now as her body could be so damaged soon to fight, so she just tried to make continuous slash at the vital spots of her foes before they could know what is happening.

Spoiler

Use stealthy attacks with dead draw in case than there are aliens in the nearest door, but dont use sword dance. Use the succubus skill to drain ep from enemies damaged (Mithra loves to kill painfully in deep silence in order to protect her people ). In case than she find survivors tied and without any aliens close see if they can be saved and arent just empty vessels

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

"Hmm... I hope we can manage it... I mean if need be I can summon some more of our kin to help take care of the matter, but I'm not sure if I have enough energy left in me to do even that at this point," Evangeline said to her blonde kin. "Really... you'd do that for little old me? I would love the chance to... show you a thing or two maybe as well... if you'd like that is. Once we get out of here and everything that is of course and back to the village," Evangeline added to Aezralia in response to what she said about the number of things she'd done that Eva would never have thought of her doing, the young sidhe blushing a bit as she thought of the chance to have that beautiful angelic body of Aezralia's. Then when dragon like sidhe woman spoke, saying what she did to Aezralia, Evangeline found herself feeling a bit... jealous to say the least, and she knew not why she did, as she just barely knew the angel herself, and was quite certain that the sidhe couldn't have known Aezralia.

Hearing the wolfish sidhe giggle and the speak after noticing Evangeline eying her made Eva giggle in turn as she was found out in her sizing her fellow kin up. "You might say that... I've got a thing for girls with ears and tails like yours, and yeah I've spent most of my life around mortals, since I lived in Therion up until I came out here. Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you Sindel, I hope... that you enjoy your reward after while when we get the time. I want to see that tail wagging like mad as you fill me up," Evangeline said back to the sidhe after the introductions between the two of them, gently brushing her index finger up Sindel's chin and kissing her on the cheek to try and be a bit of a tease to her.

After bowing her head to both Felicia and Cremily, Evangeline and the rest of them listened to Aezralia speak and she fully agreed with her words, "Aye, that would be best, and that way we can find Mithra while we're at it as well," Eva said as they went on back down, following the path down the other direction that they didn't take earlier. When they arrived in the large chamber with several doors to go through, Eva looked around at her companions and then to each door to a room that seemed to be occupied at the moment. She gestured to each of her kin to check a room, for Aezralia to check one, figuring that the 4 of them would be able to handle whatever was in each room alone and would call for help if need be, then she gestured to the elven archers to check one together, while she checked the last one that was the farthest from where they were at herself, drawing her bronze blade back from its sheath as she prepared to fight some more, figuring that this was likely mop up work at best at this point, but it still paid to be ready. Evangeline called upon her severely depleted energies once more to aid her, choosing a slightly less than favorite of her powers and burning her energies as well as a part of her own life force to empower herself for the likely coming battle as she approached the door to look inside and see what was there, hoping it would be one of the prisoners here and she wasn't too late to save whoever.

Spoiler

Activating Fell Might with 5 EP, which should be giving her a +15 to Dodge, Attack, Melee damage, and Grapple, and +5 to resistance, for 3 EP and 1 HP for the upkeep.

Also I suppose that it's a 1 in 6 chance that Mithra and Eva would choose the same room to go into, as Eva doesn't know Mithra is there and wouldn't know which room she chose.

"Hopefully it won't be necessary to call on any more aid," Felicia replied evenly after Eva warned that she was low on energy, "Feel free to let us handle things if it doesn't look too dangerous, it is what you called us for after all." Later, Eva's teasing of Sindel brought a broad smile to the wolfish sidhe's face, and she replied; "I'm sure you'll get to see that and a whole lot more, and that we'll both have fun when it's time for you to pay your dues~"

Later, when downstairs, it turned out that Mithra and Eva chose the same door to explore, as Mithra stepped through it just before Eva stepped up to it and cut away the thin wall of flesh. The elf saw what lay within first, but the sidhe soon followed, and when she did the room's occupants took immediate notice. Within the room they'd entered were six people stuck to the walls, held their by protruding tentacles around their bodies and fleshy pockets that held their limbs, and four creatures standing and unbound. The bound individuals all seemed to be humans, half male and half female, and all were completely naked with the women sporting engorged bellies as well. A pair of violet slimes, similar to Lavender but darker to the point that they were almost black, were kneeling in front of the two men in humanoid form, their mouths clamped over the men's cocks as they sucked out their semen and their energy. In addition, a woman with reverse jointed legs and an oddly elongated head was standing in the center of the room watch, and one of the reptilian creatures that worked among the aliens looked to have just finished with one of the women, as it was sitting on the floor with its cock extended and slick with a mixture of fluids. They all turned to stare at Eva as she cut her way into the room, leaving them apparently unaware of Mithra, who was free to pick her first target.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

Without lost too much time, Mithra get inside the room easily passing though the door thanks to the spells on her, there she found what she suppose were prisioners, raped and even impregnated, who know if they had come at time, she also notice than Eva has get inside the same room, this could be a little problem if Eva decide to blast all of these creatures. But there was not time to think about that now. Without doubt, she fly toward the corrupted female and then the monster, leting her sword get free of its shelter and cause a deadly slash on both strange humanoid creatures, maybe if both fall dead Eva will know than she is here without make the others monsters notice it.

Spoiler

Attack with all to both the alien woman (two attacks) and the alien creature using lighting strikes on both and all the others skills, lets hope than she dont get hurt and she manage to get more EP from the attacks to both creatures.

Re: Cold Wars (plmnko and Mind Flayer)

"I hope we won't have to call in more to help in this, but if we do then we'll just have to deal with it. And don't worry, I will let you girls handle it for the most part, as I'm nearing the bottom of my reserves now really. Though we should all still try and help as best we can I think, so that we'll get out of here quicker," Evangeline replied to Felicia, nodding her head in agreement to let the 3 sidhe mages help take care of it all for the most part, as she did summon them to do so after all. "And don't you worry, I'll pay my dues. You just make sure you make me feel good," Eva added to Sindel, groping her butt as they went out of the elder lord's room.

...

Once downstairs and after they split up to go to their separate rooms to check out, Evangeline cut the thin strip of flesh like stuff blocking her path out of her way, which unfortunately drew the attention of the four beings in this room that seemed to be draining the six people attached to the walls by tentacles much like Mithra, Aezralia, and herself were earlier. She took only a moment to take in the sight of what they were doing, noticing the two slimes that were much like Lavender and Violet, though darker and possibly a little stronger... or possibly weaker she wasn't sure exactly. Then she noticed the other two strange creatures, one of which had obviously just finished raping a woman and was like the other regular foot soldier types she'd obliterated not too long before that when they were on their way up to fight the Elder Lord, and she noticed the strange woman in the center of the room.

When they all turned to look at her, Evangeline reacted and took aim at the two slimes at the men, aiming for the further one of the two if she couldn't safely hit them both, figuring it safer to blast it first in that case since she didn't have enough energy to blast everything in the room without knocking herself out and possibly hurting one of these poor people. She decided also to not call for help, figuring for the moment that the others all had their own respective fights to do, and she didn't want to distract any of them from that, unless she had to of course. If it began looking bad for her, then Evangeline would call for some help from Sindel or one of the other sidhe. Evangeline knew she needed to be careful in how much she blasted here, so she quickly chose a portion of what her energy reserves had left in her, then sent her infernal lightning forth to destroy the slimes she'd targeted. Though if it looked like she couldn't hit them both and might hit some of the prisoners, Eva would re-target her attack to hit only the further of the two slimes with her infernal flames instead.

"Let them go you fiends," Evangeline would say to the slimes, holding her right hand aloft and aiming it towards them as she blasted her power at them.

Spoiler

If she can use it as such to hit both slimes and use Energy Shaper to prevent it from hitting any prisoners, then Evangeline will use Devil's Lightning, using 5 EP + 3 more from Master Blaster for a total of 1d8 + 4 * 8 lightning dmg on both slimes, whilst she spends an additional 2 EP if the line won't strike both slimes to make it a cone so that it will, and paying yet more additional EP to take out however many prisoners would get struck by her attack, which I don't think would be more than 2, but not sure exactly.

If she can't hit both slimes and not hurt any prisoners, then she'll use Hellfire Blast using 5 EP, directed at the slime that's further away from her. It should be doing a total of 1d6 + 4 * 8 dmg (As she has Master Blaster and is using it to add 3 more into the power).
