(Restart) Legend Of The Emerald Sword: RP thread

[nixon/monto]

(Nixon hears the fighting and the yelling of the guards and just thinks.) "always gotta spoil the moment." (Nixon receives his meal and eats it as people in the brair go out side runing, Nixon just sits there like nothing is happening.)  "can't have a peaceful meal? Oh well" (Nixon finishes his meal and thinks.) "ill stay in hear for the time being."  (He lowers his head and rests it on his arm.)

Pizarro and Magellan were quick to lend aid to the guards in supressing the crowd, and keeping them all away from the booth and the keep.

"Ay Dios mio! (Oh my God!) You can't trust people that will just try to stab you in the back like this!" Pizarro uses his arquebus as a sort of club, holding it by the stock and the barrel and shoving away ruffians, but did not shoot unless anyone seriously tried to attack him, which they usually did not upon seeing his quality heavy armor. His equipment might have been better and flashier than the King's own parade armor. He essentially has eyes on the back of his head, and could tell if someone was about to sneak up behind him or the guards, as his sound/motion detector could track and judge the movement of an unquantifiable number of people, animals, and projectiles.  (("I got the power of a mind you could never be. I'll beat your ass in Chess and Jeopardy." :P ))

Magellan was over by the entrance to the keep assisting some other guards, holding his alabarda in a way to also push and beat down members of the crowd. While his size and immediate strength were greater than Pizarro's, thus making him much more intimidating, his organic senses could not match the android's. Fortunately his heavily-armored and lashing Reptilian tail made it hard for anyone to approach him from behind. His armor was similar in general design, but it was a bit less intricate than the Human's since the Lizard was of a lower rank in the fabricated El Ray's Armada, yet probably still something to make the King's head spin.

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke slowly drifted, nonchalantly, over to the sign-up/interview area. He scanned the lists, finding the "accepted" list, then waited for the distraction. He didn't have to wait long. Within a minute, fights began to break out everywhere in the crowd. Swords were drawn, axes brandished, arrows nocked; everyone was at each others' throats. The guards ran out to separate them, including the ones attending the booths. Quickly, just as they were out of sight, Luke slipped in, signed Wilfred and Luke's names, then slipped away. As he did, he heard swords clang against shields, guards calling for reinforcements, and others crying out in anger. He smirked, climbing back to the rendevous. He saw Wilfred, standing there, smiling triumphantly.
"Good enough for you?" he asked, somewhat smugly. Luke smirked at him, then nodded to confirm the mission had been successful.
He said, "We need to wait for them to summon the accepted. We have some time until then, so...care to watch the chaos?"

[Jormungdang]

"Sure, why not? It's fun to watch people thrown into chaos. And it's not like we have anything else to do." Wilfred replied, sitting down on the rooftop below the chimney. He then pulled out the manacle and left a message for Hel. "Hel, this is Wilfred. I'm about to start the quest, I just have to wait for some "unexplainable chaos" to die down. Hope everything is fine at the castle. See you." He then carefully readjusted the manacle on his wrist and watched the scene down below.

[Chronic Payne]

Arriving at the castle gates look about and heads off towards the right of the walls looking for a climbable approach, "With these new guys around I ain't gonna get in by asking... time to be stealthy.", taking off in a sprint makes way around the first watch tower heading up the mountain side climbing up trees hoping and swing self around, "Okay, now gotta time this right...", crouching down on a sturdy branch watches as the guards make there rounds back and forth, "Three... two... one...", taking off stomps on the end of the branch as it arcs and launches Alex up higher as the two guards pass each other heading in opposite directions, landing on the walkway of the wall on his hands and feet lunges forward from his spot doing a somersault hanging over the edge of the inner walls.


The guards look around and stare at each other giving a shrug continue on looking around, "Heh, well... quarter way in...", looking down sees a feeding stable and holding pins for horses, with shimmying over to the right drops down to the roof of the pins in a crouched position as the horses neigh and snort. Quickly getting down rushes over to the horse calming them down, "Easy now... easy it's just me.", stroking their manes as they calm down, looks about and sees half a dozen guards around the doorway leading inside of the castle, with the other dozen guards walking about making rounds, "Hhmmm, even with the chaos outside they stay here.", looking at the horses grins, "Feel like a run?",


-----------------


"Stand your ground men!", Charles walks out among the soldiers with his large sword strapped to his back, looking as the guards are holding off the riot, "What in the bloody hell is going on here? What happened!?" taking a step towards the riot sighs and looks at an approaching guard.


"Sir! it just happened so fast, one second it was okay and the next their at each others throats!", adjusting his armor heads back towards the fight, "They are pushing on towards the castle sir! we can't... sir?", looking up as the Commander walks forward grabbing his sword as he spins it about, "Stand aside men... and hold the line.", as the guards shove back the attackers they back away behind Charles shields lined up, Charles continues as a few of crowd back off or run away, "RAGH!! FISSION BREAKER!!", swinging his downward with both hands cracks the very ground sending fighters everywhere a strong shock wave knocks others fighters to the ground stunned, a large puff of dirt is shot up into the air as windows crack or blow out... I long silence follows up as fighters get to there feet dazed and confused.

"Now then... Which one of you started this brawl!? Speak up or I will slaughter you all like cattle!!", raising his sword up rests it upon his shoulder with a grunt, as the dirt settles fighters look around pointing at each other, suddenly Charles sees out of the corner of his eye two strangers upon the rooftops, "Hmph, cowards of the battle field... of course, starting trouble and hiding only to watch fools kill each other.", Turning about stares at them and grins, "And here I thought Alexander started th-.... wait a second, where is he?",

------------------------------


Feeling the ground shake for a few seconds acts fast and removes sword cutting the ropes and kicking down the pin gates, as the horses get free and run amok, "Who ever that was thanks!", the guards freak out not sure what to do but leave their posts chasing and trying to catch the horses.

Lorazys was getting food when she felt the rumbling, "Mmmm... sounds like there's a big player out there. I like." After paying for her food and getting it in a head-sized barrel, she left and headed back the way she came. The silver wolf saw the devastation to the ground, and the tall soldier who caused it. It was definitely the first one she had ever seen that was taller than her brother, but he was strong, and a sword that looked about as heavy as her Zanbato. "Hey there, tall, dark and strong. How you doin?"

[nixon/monto]

(Waking up from large noices and screams out side nix says.) "DAD NO! Wait. What's with all the noise?"
(I walk to the door and see a large person/thing.) "oh, it's just a really big scary thing, nothing strange here."  (I find a bench not being used close by and sleep on it.) "I'm just gonna wait here for the annoucements for the choosing thing."

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

After witnessing two people practically cause Earthquakes with their swords, Pizarro contacts the UDDC. -"Foxtrot-Mike-Hotel-Actual, this is Romeo-Delta-November, along with Oscar-Sierra-Juliet, we're in over our damn heads and are requesting permission to use a minifacturing module to make and upgrade our equipment. Over."- He then waited for a response, getting a small sigh over the communicator. -"Our comms are crystal clear, you don't need to use procedure words. Anyway, I've analysed the planet you're on and permission is granted, you may densify your armor and weapons by up to three times normal density and upgrade to falling-block action firearms with percussion caps. You may also produce small primitive fragmentation, concussion, and some chemical bombs, like incendiary and lachrymatory grenades."- The voice of Manfred Hammond, the Final Field Mashal of the Subjugators, said. -"Yes sir, thank you sir. Over and out!"- He said, quickly and subtly altering his weapons and armor. They still looked much the same as before, but were heavier and tougher, and the action of the Arquebus on his back changed a bit, as did his ammunition. He now carried rifled slugs, small propellant charges, and percussion caps. This would speed up reload times significantly, as the gun was now a breech-loader instead of a muzzle-loader, but it was still a single-shot firearm. He turns around, signals for Magellan to follow, hands him a breech-loading pistol and a satchel of ammo, then moves over to the booth. Their equipment, again, impresses the soldiers. "Hola! We'd like to sign up for--" Magellan then taps Pizarro on the shoulder, and his Reptilian muzzle silently motions toward a rooftop. The Human glances up for a very brief moment and snaps a high-clarity picture within his eyes, noting the malicious grins on the faces of the two onlookers. "Quickly, find a way to get up there before those two high-tail it!" He muttered to Magellan, then drew his rifle and began loading it...

[Luke White-Heart]

Luke smiled triumphantly as he saw the Chaos he had wrought. Yes, Wilfred had done the actual grunt work, but Luke had organized it. He was the unseen orchestrator, and he liked it that way. He and Wilfred might have the same goals, but their's was a temporary alliance, nothing more.
The guards finally stepped in, separating offenders and trying to bring order to the situation. Fools, he thought. After a while, the guards finally silenced the perpetrators and calmed the crowd. Wilfred seemed disappointed. Luke chuckled, then paid close attention to the caller. Their names were called, and they were requested to meet in the large tent in an hour. Luke looked over at Wilfred and nodded, then slunk back down the chimney.

[Jormungdang]

Wilfred heard the announcement as well, and he nodded to Luke, who disappeared down the chimney. "Alright, I should get out of here as well. I imagine the guards aren't too happy with me right now." Wilfred thought. He then jumped off the rooftop, rolling into a run as he hit the ground. Looking back, he saw two figures, a human and a lizard, in impressive armor attempting pursuit. "Hmph, that's going to get annoying, better discourage it now." Wilfred thought. Concentrating, he threw his consciousness outward to see if their shadows were in range. Luckily, the shadow of the nearest one was barely within range. "Onyx Claw!" He chanted, archaic demonic runes forming around his right wrist, and a claw of shadow appeared, rising up out of the target's shadow. It grabbed his opponent causing a slight gash in the armor where the fingertips connected and threw him backwards towards the other pursuer. Wilfred turned into an alleyway, following a long, curving path that would eventually lead back to the square with the large tent.

[Chronic Payne]

Charles stabs his sword into the ground and adjusts his gloves glancing over at the silver wolf, "Hmph, you come to cause some trouble too, or just being friendly?", picking his sword back up straps it to his back again and crosses his arms, watching the rioters pull them selves back up and limp off or try to figure out what happened, "Guards! Tend to the wounded and you four find and follow those two that just left from the rooftops, do not attack unless need to... understand?", turning back towards the devastation sighs and walks through it as the guards do as their told. "Only the first day and I gotta get my hands dirty... should be interesting.", walking along rubs his head and shakes it off.


-----------------------


Inside the inner castle walls Alex sneaks around the distraction he made with the horses, as the guards give chase trying to calm and catch them he slips right through the doors and gets inside, "Made it this far... can't go back now.", looking down the large a decorated walls of paintings and curtains sighs, "Now to figure out where the king is at.", taking a second to think hears approaching guards and frantically begins to look around, "Aww crap!", snapping his fingers smiles.


As the guards walk around the corner Alex is gone and they just walk along talking to each other, "Did you hear that the watch tower spotted a troll near the garden last night?" he pats on the the other guards shoulder as they stop.


Turning around crosses arms and sighs, "A troll? Way out here? You lay off the mead!",

The first guard grunts, "I ain't drunk! I'm serious!! More and more are being seen around the castle and once we had to fend off cave spider! It literally was just walking through the halls!"

The second guard takes a step back and gasps, "How did such a thing get inside!? And why!?"

The first guard raises his shoulders and arms in a shrug, "I don't know, but that ain't the worst we come across... Ever since they brought that second shard into the castle things have been getting weird, like all the creatures that never would come near the kingdom are just showing up at the castle?", A third guard walks up to them from behind and smacks them upside the heads,


"No lollygagging! Get a move on or I'll have you both on dungeon patrol.", As the three guards walk along grumbling Alex opens the curtains and sighs,


"Hmm... another shard? Huh, better keep my guard up for those creatures, but why are they here?", looking down the hall makes his way to the throne room, walking around grunts, "Were the hell is he?", ears perk up as he hears more guards coming, "Damn it!", taking off down the throne dives behind the chair where the king sits, "This is getting ridiculous..."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The tall bear spoke before Lorazys could get a word in, but what he said completely turned her off, "If you call that dirtying your hands, then never mind. I thought I finally found a real man." She left without giving him a second look and leaped on top of a cart, then up the wall and onto someone's roof. The silver wolf made her way back to where her brother had been waiting, overlooking the event arena and away from anyone's sight. "I hope you got me something good."

[nixon/monto]

(nixon awakes with his dog licking his forehead. nixon says.)  "were have you been? when dad died you just vanished."  (the dog drooped his head in sadness.) "oh come now pup we will be ok."  (nixon pets the dogs head and the dog grows happier. the dog walks a little a way toward an alley and waits for nixon to get up.) "what is it?"  (nixon gets up and walks toward the pup as it bolts down to the alley and goes in.) "hey! wait up!"  (as nixon rounds the corner the pup is seen standing above something emitting a light. nixon picks it up and asks)  "what is this?" (no answer is given and nixon puts it in his bag not knowing that this was his dads favorite possession and that his fathers spirit is connected to it. it is a small rune once owned by his mother. nixon says.) "come on pup lets go find out when the tournaments start." (the dog happily follows nixon to one of the information flyers hung up everywhere. btw the dogs name is pup.) 

[ST-84 Sahelanthropus]

Magellan gets yanked back by the magical attack, and Pizarro side-steps the flying Lizard while keeping the runner in his Patridge iron sights. After the time it took to step out of the way of his partner, he calculated that he'd only have a shot at the runner's lower leg out of the corner he was about to run around. He, however, didn't take into account the split-second time it took for the heavy trigger to pull, the hammer to strike the percussion cap, the powder to ignite, and the 'low-speed'* round to reach the target. There was a loud bang --that pretty much everyone in town heard-- but the shot was a close miss, putting a nasty inch-wide** and two inch deep mark in a brick wall. "Dammit!" Pizarro muttered under his breath, and chased after the target while reloading his rifle again. Magellan got back on his feet, picked up his alabarda, and gave chase as well. "Did you Mark and Track him?" The Lizard asks as he catches up. "No, sadly that Augmentations's been disabled along with several others until we're done here..." The Human said, looking down a couple alleyways. "You should get to a good vantage point with that rifle, I'll head back to the sing-up area." Magellan said, both agreeing as the Lizard headed back the way they came, while Pizarro finds a way up to a high roof or maybe a steeple. The castle walls and turrets would be obvious choices, but that area looked to be quite off-limits to outsiders.


(*Subjugator Hypervelocity Magneto-Gravitational Accelerators use railgun technology along with precisely-timed micro gravity wells to launch Tunsten projectiles to near-relativistic velocities, about 950,000,000 feet per second, while the gun DeNihil/Pizarro is using has a muzzle velocity of 'only' about 1,200 feet per second.)

(**The weapon is about .5 caliber, or 12.7mm, but impact marks on hard surfaces are usually bigger than the bullet itself.)

[Luke White-Heart]

Suddenly, Luke felt his Demon Mark burning. He looked over at Wilfred, looking to see if he felt it too, but before he saw anything, he felt the mark burn again, this time more intensely. He had new orders. Someone wanted to see him. Now. Luke muttered under his breath to Wilfred, "Someone wants to see me. Or us. I don't know, but we need to get out of sight."
He looked around, then slipped into the shadows, then drew a communication rune on the ground and invoked the spell.
