The War of the Three

I'm working on a post right now. @KoL Since Eos is present and I'm assuming observing the battle, would you think she'd be willing to temporary grant Shizuka golden eyes for her next attack? Or would the song she is giving the Machina be the equivalent?

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

"Dragon eggs... A hatchery."

This was not good. A dragon's horde has always been the stuff of legends, full of treasure as well as deadly traps. A dragon's nest on the other hand was nothing but trouble. The eggs were a sure prize for any knowledgeable wizard or merchant, but if one thought a dragon's fury was bad enough when you tried to steal their treasure, when you try to take their eggs... No doubt the nest would be heavily guarded. The perfect place for a cult to safely call their base. Not to mention, a dragon who could hatch a full brood of dragonlings will no doubt be a terror for generations to come. Even benign metallic dragons would have a frightening amount of power if there was a whole clan of them.

Parum felt that there was not much more to gleam from this prisoner. She still had so many questions but Parum knew that the prisoner wasn't going to cooperate for long. It was time to end this. "Fascinating. A whole nest of dragon eggs... Certainly would be a sight to behold. I would ask you where such a place could be but I have doubts that a lowly servant like you would know." Parum turned around, making her footsteps rather audible as she began to walk away. "If there are still any secrets you'd like to share, you'd do best say something now. Because if that's all you know than you're no use to us. And as you may imagine we're not in any position to deal with... Waste." Parum left the prison and the prisoner to her fate. Parum hoped for her sake that she could satisfy the others with an answer. Otherwise Parum was done dealing with the prisoner.

Once the halfling was far away from the prison she stood in place and took a deep breath. She felt... Odd. Satisfied to finally be the one in a dominate position. But well aware that was just a transient role. The vision of that blue dragon flashed in Parum's mind, and it's deep, angry voice echoed in her ears. Before Parum knew it she was on her knees trembling. Finally all of Parum's fear hit her all at once as she sobbed quietly, trying to silence the panic attack. A cult, a nest of dragons, and Tiamat herself... What could Parum possibly do in the face of such a threat? What could she, a mere sage who was looking for new lore to explore, deal with such a cataclysmic event? She was no hero. Parum was not born under the star of destiny or even had a particularly important upbringing. She doubted her ability to do more than survive this event, if even that. But she had to pull herself together. Regardless of whatever her feelings about this was, both the fear and the duty to face it, she had to keep her nerves calm. If she couldn't... Parum wasn't sure what was going to happen. Something horrible no doubt. She needed somewhere quiet to play her viol.

Sorry for a lack of posts, I'm moving homes right now and my internet has been cut off. Right now I'm at a starbucks mooching off their wifi.

The War of the Three

Posted. I'm really sorry guys, life just seems to give me one disaster after another. I'm currently in the process of moving homes.

The War of the Three

Hibiki & Shizuka

Of course Hibiki's shots were intercepted. She couldn't be too surprised, things were far too chaotic in this battlefield to rely even on precise calculations. All the more reason Hibiki had to stay on the move and seek her options. Conventional fire might be good against foot soldiers, but against the usual powerhouses the angels brought, Hibiki was going to need a bigger gun. Fortunately, KC-00032 had all the guns she'd ever need. However as Hibiki was moving the alarms at the Gamma Suit went off. She didn't have to guess too hard what had happened, and she'd beat herself up over it later; the demons probably teleported inside the building and stole it right out from under their nose. You'd think that after the first time, the machina would have adapted to these tactics. Hibiki activated the detonator, and wherever the suit was, whether it was somewhere in the middle of the battlefield or even in Heaven itself, the suit would self-destruct. Hibiki would rather have it destroyed than fall into enemy hands.

It wasn't long before Hibiki reached a hangar area. Already soldiers were being mustered out to defend the factory. Hibiki came across a group of heavily armored bikers and quickly took command. "This is Commander Hibiki Meido, Nova 1. I'll need you four to follow me." These men didn't argue and got a bike for Hibiki. Each one was heavily armored, and could supplement their armor with force fields. Their bikes also had powerful autocannons, however they have a hard time shooting and driving at the same time. Not a problem for Hibiki of course; she'd be doing all the shooting. She just needs them to cover her. Mounting onto the bike Hibiki constructed her Cerberus Rifle, needing it's firepower. These winds and debris might stop bullets, but it'd do nothing against a fully charged plasma bolt. She just needed the right opportunity.

Not helping matters were two bullets that came in her direction. The first shot caught her by surprise, but fortunately her combat armor prevented the shot from being lethal. It did cause her to stumble however. "Contact! Let's get moving!" Hopping into the bike Hibiki sped off on warbikes, surrounded by other riders. It wasn't hard for the sniper to glance at the direction where that bullet came from, seeing another demon sniper. Hibiki didn't know how she got this close, but she wasn't going to let her escape.

"Are you equipped with mortars?"

One of the riders took the rocket launcher off his back. "We have a MIRV, commander!"

"Good enough. Target that location and fire on my command!"

The rider took aim and waited as Hibiki attached a rifle grenade onto her rifle. It wasn't just any grenade however; this grenade would actually emit a field that cut off teleportation or warp gates. It only lasted for about a minute, but that was more than enough time. While the squad drove at speeds approximating a hundred miles per hour, Hibiki quickly aim and shot the grenade into a high arc. "Fire!" The wind from Ceil's magic carried it to Henrietta's position, exploding in harmless electrical energy. The rain of explosive munitions that followed after was the opposite of harmless. They exploded upon the general area Henrietta was shortly after the teleportation bomb went off. Hibiki had no time to confirm the kill as she ordered the riders to activate their force field and surround her. They had to drive closer to the battlefront.

At the rear of the factory Shizuka was holding off Mephilus. His armor seemed to not be affected by the rain of bullets, but that didn't discourage Shizuka. When he fired three projectiles at her, in one swift motion she dropped the Azreal and raised her shield Gwynn. It grew and expanded to cover the entire hallway, but angled so that even if he hit her directly he'd be directed to the wall next to her. But that wasn't the only thing she did. "Kastiya ola arlita iya," Shizuka created another barrier using the reinforced metal wall next to her. But she had a feeling that simply creating a wall of force would only delay the inevitable; she needed a way to kill Mephilus immediately. So using her powers to create barriers, instead of a wall she created a wire. A wire that had the width of an atom, invisible to the naked eye. Even magical eyes couldn't pick it up considering how small it was. A blade with a monomolecular edge. But using her magic, Shizuka focused all it's energy into just this tiny thread to make it indestructible. This wire went from one wall to the other, and was chest high to Mephlius. As she waited for him to charge, her right hand began to crackle with energy, empowered by Queen Eos's song.

D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

Parum leered at the prisoner, sensing something was off with her claim. Surely even a minion would do well to know the name of a dragon they are allied with, if not the servants of. Even dumb mercenaries would at least know what to call their suppose employers. Still she gave Parum some valuable information. And while the woman was certainly lying, it was also obvious that she did not intend to diverge any more information. But Parum would give her one more chance to cooperate; if she doesn't, than her life is forfeited.

"You must truly be a special kind of foolish to not even know the name of the dragon who is allied with you, or to follow the commands of anyone who could purchase a purple robe. Consider your next answer carefully. Because if you do not comply with us... The only mercy we have left for you is a swift end."

Parum already wants this conversation to be over with, so she only gets a 9. While the prisoner is probably lying, Parum doesn't really intend to delve much further unless she's certain more could be gained.

The War of the Three

@The 42nd Gecko

Well unless the wind is being pressed directly against the bullets head on, I'm imagining that the wind that Ceil is whipping up isn't a straight blast but circular "slashes" sort to speak. Tornado and such. Wind that strong will affect things like bullets, so Hibiki is taking that into account while she lines up her shot. Even if the wind is being pressed directly against the bullets, unless the blast is strong enough to fling Hibiki's shot back into her gun, at some point when the bullets start dropping they'll start curving because of the wind. So depending on how strong these winds are to affect the bullet, and if there's any sort of barrier or debris that intercepts Hibiki's shots, she's trying to time it precisely enough to get her shots somewhere near Ceil. Ideally they hit her.

Of course, that mostly relies on the wind being constant and doesn't suddenly shift directions or slow down. It's also why Hibiki shot three bullets, so she can get an idea of her trajectory and such.

The War of the Three

Oh right. Not sure if there is any other battles going on right now though.
