[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Aggoth gently lifts Elli allowing her to untie the woman, and Aggoth holds the woman up, like one would a child, as he offers her more water, or mashed beets.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the woman nearly collapses but manages to catch herself well enough to stumble down the wet tender and walk slowly over to a nearby house, inviting them in while she gets some bread and cheese to eat along with some milk, finishing it while they sit down at a table with a giant pole crashed through the middle of it.

she sits down opposite them before begining her tale "a while back, lord rasimov got into a dispute with a local witch about land. She'd lived in her hut in the woods since before the lord's father was born, but the young lord was a greedy sort and insisted that she give up her hut and rejoin the townsfolk, going so far as to set it alight while she was out gathering food. However, his naivete begat a curse upon his line; 'what has been taken from me shall be paid for by your first son'. Not soon after, the local lady begat a son and daughter but the son died soon after the daughter had been born, leaving him stricken with grief. In a rage he began a witch hunt and executed all those suspected of witch-craft without trial in order to suss out the witch... after the first one, his wife died of sickness and then his daughter disappeared into the forest in a trance after the second. After a while he just began killing off all the women in the village, plague claiming the men until finally i was all that was left. When a rain put out the pyre on my stake, he ran thinking me to be the witch. I'm just a medicine woman and work herbs not magic, the lord needs to be stopped though, the sickness... it has effected him... made him something else... me husband locked him up in his manor but... hasn't been back since"

@Tyki
"....I will smash him." Aggoth says, standing up, and he looks at Elli. "Little one stay here, watch skinny lady." He says. Elli looks at the woman, and then at Aggoth. "I wish to join."
"No, you get hurt, and Aggoth won't be able to fight hard with you there..you, stay, here."
"But Aggoth..."
"Butts are meant for sitting, not complaining."
"...Fine."
With this small back and forth between Aggoth and Elli, Aggoth stands, ducking under the archway of the door, and heading towards the manner, his club in hand, an anger in his eyes.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

"i won't be stayin here. come with me to a safe place little one" the woman says evenly, standing and holding her hand out to lead Elli to safety outside of the disease-ridden ghost town.

Aggoth finds the corpse of a man, pressing against a barred door, his bottom half having been added to the bar during the last few seconds of life, his wound looking to be rotted rather than torn or ripped, his innards on the floor below him, his bloodshot eyes gazing blankly into the distance

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Aggoth gently pulls the man away from the door, and closes the man's eyes, in a symbol of putting him to rest. Aggoth gets a tad angry, and holds his club like a bat, and swings, (36) a simple shock wave hitting the door, putting a little strain on it. He swings again (52), two shock waves striking the door, denting it more. He swings again (56) and it most likely busts the door down at this point.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the door busts open to reveal a rat-like creature only slightly smaller than Aggoth draped in the skin and clothing of a nobleman as it devours a corpse noiselly, stopping with a crunch of bone as it rounds to look at the ogre, letting out an ear splitting screech with it's breath smelling of death as i charges at Aggoth, it's clawed hands held out as it jumps at him, bowling him over and ripping at him, it slashing him deeply but his natural resilience and strength allowing him to weather the blows and boot it off of him, his wounds almost imediatly festering and inflaming with gangrine

[supertinyking]

@Tyki

Seeing the cuts on his body, Aggoth does a trick Elli showed him to stop bleeding, thinking it would work here. He takes his club, and quickly uses it to cauterize his wounds, killing the gangrine rather easily. He then looks to the rat man, and uses his fireball attack (41), two large flaming orbs flying towards him, flames spreading on impact, catching anything around them on fire. Stone and metal both melt into a magmic sludge, as Aggoth doesn't stop there. He puts his club before his mouth, and breaths out (34) a stream of flame spewing forth, hoping to char broil the monster.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the creature hits the floor to avoid the fireballs before being blasted in the face by Aggoth's flame breath, stumbling back a bit before scurrying into the basement

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
Aggoth gives pursuit, casting his shock wave spell twice aiming to hit the monster as it tries to run, the first one (36) being a simple shockwave, the second one being just like the first (32). Aggoth enters the basement, his club flaming to illuminate the area around him, if dark.

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

he finds the shockwaves to hurt the creature more than wound, the basement nearly pitch black around him. After a good few minutes of silence he's toppled over, his back scratched up horribly before the creature returns to the darkness of it's own volition, the new and old wounds inflaming with disease and rot rather painfully

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
As the creature leaps for him, Aggoth spins around, slamming his club into the creature's face, flames singeing off hair, and causing skin to crack, and bleed, as in the direction he launches the creature, he fires off a fireball (84), it splitting into three full sized fireballs mid flight, catching the area they strike ablaze, lighting up the basement as a whole, as rock and metal near by melts.
"Rat-thing dies today....no one kills baby people without me smashing them!" Aggoth says, his voice filled with a surprisingly high amount of determination. He casts his shockwave spell (8), and then again (24) and again, (12), aiming to send the rat man into the flames and molten rock.

"....Are you fucking kidding me...." Kerrigan says, not overly pleased. With a well aimed shot, she tries to take Camilla's leg off at the knee, but fails, it striking someone else.....or....something, else, depending on who you ask. Hunger lifts his hand up, looking at the bullet shot, which was embedded in his hand.
"...This, is going to end b-" He starts, before getting pegged in the neck, blood gushing everwhere. Slowly, he eats the nearest thing, Camilla's supply of apples, his neck regenerating quickly.
"Shit, her buddy showed up." Kerrigan says, as she starts to flee.

@supertinyking

"Okay, why did that just happen?" Camilla asks as she stops running "whoever that was, they meant business..."

[supertinyking]

@kishin asura
Huffing loudly, slowly, him calming down. "...I guess it was an assassin...but..Camilla....I've found where Kishin Asura lives." Hunger says, gently rubbing his neck. Then, a portal opens, and Rinack, now looking far more spooky, as a skeleton ((https://youtu.be/rtomxjg38Eg)) "Surprise motherfuckers!" He says, his body glowing green. "..Didn't you get shot?" Hunger asks, and Rinack shrugs. "I got better..."

[kishin asura]

@supertinyking

"Well, looks like the gang's back together." Camilla says

[Tyki]

@supertinyking

the rat-like creature dips under the initial strike, the fire balls sailing past as he strikes at aggoth's legs only for the giant ogre to beat his head to a red paste on the ground, his fur melting away to human skin as his head reforms and he looks around confusedly, asking evenly "where am i?... why is everything on fire?..."

[supertinyking]

@Tyki
"You were a rat-thing, so I tired to cook you......you the lord fella?" Aggoth asks, looking down at the lord, most likely scaring the shiet out of him.

Mia smiles brightly, as she slowly floats upwards. She was feeling it. She wanted to kill every single person on this shitheap of a planet, and she wanted to do it as slowly as possible. But for the sake of the mission, she restrained herself. There would be plenty of time to indulge herself later, in the confusion of the aftermath. "Oh, you might know this fellow we're targetting. In fact, I'd wager you'd be more than eager to help us kill him. We're trying to take down 5, the guy who killed your little boy-toy. Or the original, at least. Not sure what you'd consider this fellow..."

Of course, Mia had experience with dead boyfriends. The difference, of course, was that in Mia's case she was usually also the cause of death. Puberty had been a rather traumatic period. But she did know that the best way to recover from death was to cause more of it, projecting your issues onto others as you tortured them to pieces. "here's the coordinates. You might want to join us. I got a whole bunch of friends coming over, and it's going to be one hell of a party."

@thewizardguy
"........" Minx began to feel some pressure build over her. "....F-f-f-f-f-iv-ive.....Five...five...five...FIVE....FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE FIVE?!" Minx starts, darting though a portal Raiden looking at Mia. "........Gulp...I take it you wish to..leave..now?" Raiden asks, seeming to be quite..scared, with Minx being gone.

The robot suit seemed to hiss, as the cockpit opens. The music stops, as a cloud of steam emerges from the sides of the cockpit, creating a rather dramatic effect. This is soon after ruined by the figure from inside the cockpit falling out of it into the grass, coughing his lungs out. "Shit.... smoke.... bad idea... gotta revise that...."

After a few moments of coughing, he gets his shit back together and walks up to where Delta was already arresting Honey. "Now now, no need for that. Let's make sure we all get along." He holds one hand out to honey, and the other to Delta, as if to perform two handshakes at once. "Nice to meet you two. The name's Matt."

"damn it! the sodding witch tricked me again!" the lord replies, the wind around him whipping into a fury, the fires being put out before he breathes in deeply, asking evenly "please tell me that's the smell of the herds rotting and not the people" as he rips the rags off before getting some fresh clothes on
