Elementals: Void Assault

I edited my post volunteering as bait, I totally forgot about that part. I also think it will work.

Heart of Tarot

I would like to join for when this kicks off :) It might be a while before my CS post though, this is interesting. I would like to reserve Death for myself. Ill see if any of my friends would like to get in on it too. So in a way, we're like wizards, but with one or a few different ability's correlating to the individual tarot aspects right?

Elementals: Void Assault

Shida did not really know what to expect by putting himself in the way of trying to help this girl, but he couldn't shake the feeling that she somehow she shared his own burdens. Shida was a little shocked when she refused his helping hand, but then he knew that this was the way it had to be. "I fear nothing" Aerilyn said in a crass tone, she got up and crossed her arms and gave him a look that bit into him. "I don't know why you suddenly care about me, but I can handle most things on my own." Shida just looked at her.. bad thoughts arose for moment Prissy little.. but he knew that saying anything like that would be a mistake. One thing he did know well about people was that if you wanted someone to like you, you had to let them have their own pride. His face twinged a little bit, "I'm sorry if I offended you, but I needed to be sure you were ready to fight." He turned his head away from her. "You seem fine to me, so.." he paused for a second almost looking as if he was in pain "Good luck out there. We're all going to need it if we want to come back here alive." Shida began to walk off towards the other group discussing the plans. He felt a weight pulling him back in the other direction, but he forced himself to walk away.

When he arrived to the others, they were in the middle of discussing battle tactics on how to gain the favor of the human population in the encampment, as well as luring the Vygorns out into the open. He listend to the entire plan, but he was worried that focusing so much on saving lives might get one or some of them killed, but tried to repress his conventional instincts as much as possible for now. I suppose there wouldn't be any point in killing all the Vygorns if the entire planet thinks were the bad guys afterwards.. Still, Shida had his reservations, and saving everyone certainly wasn't his number one goal here. He was more excited to test out his abilities on a full blown scale. Although he didn't like the risk, separating the Vygorns and the humans tactically held some advantage, less things to kill. That is, if we could pull it off.

"I have a request as well as an observation. I would like it if Beau, our electrician, would accompany Cora and Aerilyn, I believe his ability's would be ideal for adding to the storm you're brewing against the Vygrons."
"As far as luring out the Vygrons goes, Cora, ill take you up on that offer, as much as we appreciate your dedication, I think a large pillar of fire should do the trick."
"Also, after I've lured them out Will, Gilfred, and Creepy dark eye-patch kid. Then Kimberly, Thema, and Myself should break into two teams of three and attack the group of Vygorns from both sides while you and your team advance through the storm and block them from retreating back the to encampment."
"It will be like shooting fish in a barrel after we herd them out, not to mention they'll have almost no idea whats happening until we're already upon them."

He then turned to Thema and Kimberly.
"Regardless of what you may think of me Thema, Kimberly, our abilities will naturally complement each other on the battlefield, and I do hope that we all come back from this unscathed."

"Also, who's that guy with the dagger standing over there?"

Shida got up and walked around for a bit, feeling rested after his spar with Will. Shida knew some of the people in the room held a distaste for him, probably thinking him childish or rash. But he didn't care, he was going to live the way he wanted until the day he died without anyone stopping him. He thought he saw nature face glaring at him a bit, and Ice girl sort of managed to get to him for a moment, she was really scary for some reason and Shida did not want to piss her off. But when she mentioned him singeing up the ground a bit he couldn't help but tell her "If this is the last piece of nature, i don't think the grass here is gonna stop growing anytime soon." he said in his sarcastic manner. Shida instantly bit his tongue, as she gave him a cold and unforgiving glare.. he felt the ice of her silence trickling up his back as his eyes widened to capture her stare. This chick..really freaks me out...

Suddenly, there was a blood curdling scream. Everyone looked over, it was Luce. She seemed to be glowing in a way that was not at all normal for a lady, and having what looked like was a serious panic attack. Shida saw Wolgran running towards her.. This is serious.. he thought. Soon, Luce was writhing and screaming in pain inside of a sphere of light, Wolgran was doing something to deflect the power she was releasing he could see, but regardless, the screams grew louder. When it was over, Wolgran turned and his expression said that there was no more Luce. Shida noticed she had been acting strange earlier, a case of the jitters he thought. But is that really what just killed her? Couldnt be.. Shida looked around, everyone was completely stunned or hiding somewhere. He began to look for Aerilyn, wondering if she was ok.. he didn't really know why, but he felt some sort of empathy for her. Shida always thought he was good at cheering people up, and when he saw someone who was sad, he always wanted to make them happy. He thought she looked sad, but she may have not even be aware of it.. He saw some boots sticking out from behind a rock, curious to see, he walked over. He saw Aerilyn curled up into a ball with her eyes closed, shivering. She had an expression on her face like someone was about to punch her. Shida knelt down over her placed his hand on her shoulder and asked "Are you ok?" She looked at him "It's over, Luce is gone.. the old man said she let her own power take control of her, he also said it won't happen to any of us as long as we maintain our pace and don't push ourselves too much." Shida didn't know if that last part was true for sure, but he wanted to help calm her down.. "There's no need to be afraid.'

I wasnt aware of how to conserve space like that. Sorry for any inconvenience, but the fight has ended well :)

Ah and good to know. That will make a large field of easier :)

Elementals: Void Assault

Shida released Will and let the flames reside, the strain on his shoulder ached from even a short attempt to restrain him, and his jaw inflamed like a roasting fire from that punch to the face. He wondered if the water in Will's blood flowed so fast it could make his muscles hard as stone.. Shida was by no standard a weak individual compared to most men, but he doubted that he had ever faced a man with this kind of endurance and strength. As they were getting up, he met eyes with Will. He noticed that his hat somehow managed to stay on during the battle, he was surprised at it's craftsmanship for a moment. Shida, looked at Will and offered his hand to him.

"I knew you were going easy on me, but I think you should save that soft spot in your heart for half of those babes we just impressed over there."
A short moment later, a girl named Kimberly arrived.

infinitumxx said
"Hey you guys, not that I want to be a downer or something, but don't go wastin' all your energy before we even get out of this cave. I'm sure we'll appreciate you hurling them fireballs at the enemy, not him,"

Shida saw that she was clearly into Will, so he patted him on the back and winked to him as he turned away. "Thanks, I think it'll stay that way for now. I appreciate the complement."

Shida turned his head to look around and slowly began to walk off, he saw a few people sitting in a group, the people he recalled discussing the plan to split up and attack the Vygrons at the nearby outpost. Though he also remembered that the hunchback of trees would be on a warpath to scold him for burning down his lawn at any moment..Regardless of this, he found his thoughts and eyes moving to Aerilyn. The thought of ever getting married hadn't even begun to cross Shida's mind, or for that matter any woman liking him very much at all.. his experiences with women were even more limited than he bragged, not a surprising fact to him, he knew he could be a talker when he drank.

Shida within some moments after the battle, found himself walking over to a small gorge of water surrounded by grass and wildflowers. He laid down under the sun and closed his eyes folding his arms behind his head, and feeling the breeze blow through the holes in his clothes. For a moment, he thought he imagined Aerilyn eyes green and shimmering, looking into him, captured by her soft and porcelain face.The relationships in his life were usually those of people he almost thought of as disposable, accredited to his own obsessions with survival and means before, all of this... However, he found himself for the last few hours he awoke, after he experienced that blurry vision at breakfast this morning, feeling surprisingly better than he had felt in a long time. Aerilyn.. as far as hurting someone like her goes, he knew he never could. However, he did find himself eventually more worried about the situation at hand.. The Vygrons...

We can defeat them, we have too, no matter what.

Shida hadn't realized he moved his king piece so close to the enemy, before he knew it, Will was upon him throwing punches left and right at a surprisingly even and quick pace. Shida was used to fighting at a range and in complete anonymity from his enemy amidst the chaos. But he also learned some hand to hand moves of his own from adapting to things his friends showed him. Backing up and dodging the first two swings, then being met by three more, closely ducking the right hook, but then being caught in the check as he was turning away to the left from the straight jab while attempting a sidestep. Instead of regaining composure, and using the opportunity of getting hit, he acted more injured than he was for a moment and hung limp in a feinted mid fall, seeing the right hook coming at his head a mile away.. When it almost made contact with him he ducked under it and attempted to take the follow through out of Will's punch by throwing his right arm up and meeting their inner elbows together and making a grab for the back of his opponents neck. He maneuvered back up behind his right shoulder, his right hand was now firmly pressed up against Will's neck, with his right elbow locking Will's arm in place by pulling it back with his shoulder strength.

Normally any person would have trouble holding someone in this position for long, but Shida didn't need to. Once somebody was this close to him, he was in extreme danger. "This is the end for you." He told Will as he jerked around for a moment. Shida generated deep and high wall of flame encircling them. Blasting fire all around them inches from Will's nose, the others disappeared for a moment. "My king piece is impervious to this flame, is yours?" he said with a grim smile.

Welcome to EVA Jab :) I like your ideas for combat mechanics already. This will be fun once we get out of this place and you can join in haha.

Elementals: Void Assault

Shida's fist pummeled into the earth as Will sidestepped his attack. When he looked up there was a huge disc of water blurring through the air flying directly at his forehead, he instinctively ducked below it at felt the wind rush across the top of his skull..Not bad.. he was finally starting to feel alive. Savoring the moment, Shida returned Wills attack by using his low point of gravity to kick two fireballs while swinging with legs out from underneath him above his head, preforming a back flip to regain his footing. One at Will's his chest and one at his head flying at him from below, and then he conjured a pillar of fire bursting out of the ground right behind Will using his vision as he eyes began shine a dark red. But let's see how you get out of this one!

Elementals: Void Assault

Shida anticipated his first attack, and as soon as the ball of water left Will's hand Shida stepped to the side at the last second as the ball of water flew past him at lightning speed, Shida instantly began charging towards Will, seeing the water forming in his other hand as he drew closer, he knew his opponent would launch another attack at any second.. Now! Shida used a stone in his path to help launch himself into the air, and engulfed himself in a bright flame as he flew downwards at Will. "Now, you're mine!"
