Overlords. (Sarpedon/Sanquin)

Nah no need. It works out as it is, just a bit differently. As I mentioned before, I always keep changes to 'the plan' in mind. :P What happens in the rp vs what I planned differs in our rp's quite often. But also as I said before, that's the fun of rping.

My complaint was that I felt I couldn't get all of what I wanted to do/say in one post, not that you dealt with your part in one. :)

So...there was more to post. Like, another 2 paragraphs. I didn't expect you to finish the entire fight in one post. So I tried doing the same. But it was becoming too long, so I decided to cut my post off and give you some time to maybe do something before I continued. The plan right now is for Sanguine to get hit, get just a little bit hurt, and have Daniëlle go berserk because of that. (You know, seeing one of your beloved masters getting hurt and all.)

As for their guild name...I just wanted to keep it at "Tomb of Nazarick". It's why I called the guild hall that. :P Why that name? No real reason. There is no Nazarick. But it sounds cool. xD

The bishop watched on in shock as his soldiers were slaughtered by a single man before his eyes. The mages beside him couldn't believe it either. Their determination started to waver quite quickly now. Though the bishop snapped them back to the mission at hand. "What are you doing?! Summon the angels! Now!" That confused Sanguine, as she had thought they were all mages, not clerics. Though technically mages could summon celestials as well. However, those thoughts went out the window when the angels were summoned. These weren't just any summons...these were summons from Yggdrasil. The angels came from a 3rd level spell. Large winged creatures with longswords, and not looking entirely human. "Hold on, those are summons from Yggdrasil! Where did you get those." Sanguine called to their leader. "Yggdrasil? I don't know what that is, but this will be your end!" He motioned for the mages to direct their angels to attack. Though this time it was the vampiress to take action. It would be easy enough to deal with such low level summons.

She held her free hands out, waving it from one side to the other. As she did, a large wall of ice appeared between Oliver and the angels, making them unable to attack directly. She then took that opportunity to close in on the enemy, dashing with a seemingly unnatural swiftness that only Oliver and Daniëlle could compete with. Within two seconds she stood only 10 feet away from the enemy mages, with the angels at her back as they were still trying to attack Oliver. This time, though it would hurt for a little bit because of the sun, she raised both her hands in the air. It was time to use one of her favourite spells. A 4th degree wide area AoE spell that did comparatively weak damage, but also gave a blinding debuff. In this case, the blind wouldn't even be needed considering how fast the first three mages had died. "Elements of the land, heed my command!" She spoke, not because it was needed but to make things a bit more dramatic. Within a second, suddenly an ice storm engulfed the area. She had made sure Oliver and Daniëlle had high enough spell resistance with her buffs, but the angels weren't as lucky. Almost immediately they all started to freeze, until one by one they fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Some mages were caught in the spell as well, receiving the same fate as the angels. That only left about 8 mages and the bishop to deal with.

"Impossible!" The leader exclaimed, taking a step back at the terrifying sight before him. "All those angels, in a single spell!" Sanguine chuckled evilly, looking straight at the man. "I warned you, didn't I. Surrender and you might live. Now, however..." "N-no! We're not finished yet! Consider yourself honoured, strangers. The plan was to use this for the holy warrior, but I guess I have no choice! Mages, keep her busy!" The man took out a large crystal, holding it up in the air. Sanguine immediately recognized it as a spell container. Basically a scroll, but without the need to be able to read scrolls. This made vampiress a little weary. Obviously this thing was their trump card. But what could be inside? The remaining mages started casting all kinds of spells. Thorns, flames, electricity, all manner of spells started flying her way. Though they were all of 2nd degree or lower, so luckily they didn't even warrant her to pay attention to them for now.

That's when the crystal glowed brightly. And two seconds later, the bright light moved up into the air. "Dominion Authority, come forth!" The man exclaimed. At which point the light took the shape of a 10f foot tall, powerful looking angel floating in the air. This one wielded a huge mace in one hand, and a book in the other. "Behold and despair! The most powerful angel at our command, one so powerful that no mortal could hope to defeat it!" However Sanguine wasn't scared at all. She recognized the angel as a 6th level summon. If it was lucky, it could maybe scratch her a little bit. "This is stupid..." She muttered, shaking her head. "What?! How can you say that?!" The bishop exclaimed. "Here I was starting to get worried. Yet even your most powerful trump card is mere child's play." "Impossible! Only the gods themselves could fight something like this!" The bishop retorted, motioning for the angel to attack. The angel came at her with the large mace, swinging it with all his might. Yet she only stood there, and held out one of her hands to block it. Right now she was quite happy with the strength bonus the vampire race gave her. As, though it was difficult, she just managed to stop the weapon with her single hand while making it look like it took no effort. "Is it my turn then?" Sanguine asked, grinning amusedly.

The three of them appearing before the enemy ranks drew their attention quite quickly. Though they weren't attacking right away, which surprised Sanguine a little. Though this might become a great opportunity. They had walked far enough away from the village now that the people there wouldn't hear them. And Bartholmew was still ordering his men around too. So they could have a little bit of private time with these enemy troops. Oliver was immediately raring to go though, already starting with his flames. The vampiress put a hand on his shoulder, smiling a little as a short extra plan was forming in her head. This could be a great opportunity for some rumours to start spreading around. "Not so fast, Oliver. I get that you're all excited and ready to go, but let's have a little fun first. I think this situation can benefit from a little theatrical performance first."

Sanguine's free hand lifted up, engulfing the three of them in a dark blue light. A telltale sign of her giving some buffs. In particular; ice shield, protection from arrows, and spell resistance. Plus, just to be sure, an ani-scrying spell on herself, which covered an area of about 300 feet. She wanted to send a message to the country of these enemies, yet still give as little information as possible. As she casted, the soldiers opposing them got visibly nervous. Not only did a man in armour cast what was to them high level magic, but the woman beside him started preparing spells as well. What she did next caught them all a little off guard though.

The woman stepped forwards, towards the large group until she was in hearing range without having to shout. "Who's your leader?" She asked calmly. "If you're here to beg for your lives, it won't happen." The most expensively clad man in the back spoke, the soldiers making way for him to have a clear line of sight. "Oh, on the contrary." Sanguine replied, smiling evilly. "I'm here to give you an opportunity to beg for your life." The man laughed, a confident and smug smile on his lips. "Just the three of you? I have 60 men with me." Sanguine chuckled a little herself. "Indeed. Hardly a fair fight. You'd need several times as many if you want to take us on. This is your only chance, sir. Surrender, and we'll let you live." The man obviously thought she was bluffing, as she quickly turned to one of the archers standing beside him. "Shoot her." Two arrows flew Sanguine's way, though neither even connected. They simply bounced off the air around her, thanks to her arrow protection buff. She sighed, shaking her head a little. "Don't say I didn't warn you." She then turned around again, heading back to the other two.

"Oliver, I'd say you take on the soldiers and archers. You're better equipped against physical attacks. And since I have far higher magic resistance, I'll deal with the mages and that cleric looking guy." A "kill them!" was ordered behind her, the leader speaking once again. At which point Sanguine turned around, swiping her arm through the air as two tennis ball-sized balls of ice appeared in front of her in the air. Until now she had used only her level 2 spell. Simple ice shards of varying sizes. Now, she was going to use a level 4 spell with an area of effect. Two balls flew towards the two lines of mages in the back, and one flew right at the leader. The two exploded, immediately perforating 3 mages in total with tiny shards of ice. The leader apparently had some kind of nullifying buff though, as the ball aimed towards him disappeared right before it reached him. Still, Sanguine was glad her threats could be backed up by her magic. These mages couldn't be that strong if three of them already died this quickly.

Sanguine wanted to protest, convince him to not go. But the moment she looked into his eyes it it was obvious. That determined look in his eyes told her that he was going to do what he wanted to do no matter what she said. The woman sighed, shaking her head a little. She wanted to know how these people fought, but if this was going to happen she'd rather not fight Oliver over it. "You're hopeless at times you know that? Fine, fine. We'll go out there. But we're doing it my way." She quickly started running towards Bartholmew. Her umbrella was starting to get annoying at this point, though luckily this new body of hers was nimble and swift enough to not be bothered too much by it. Once she arrived she immediately started speaking. Time was of the essence as the enemy force would be there within a minute at this point.

"Sir Bartholmew, I have a suggestion. Instead of you attacking and us staying behind, let us fight them." The man looked confused, not knowing whether she wanted to be heroic, was just stupid, or really was as strong as she was suggesting. "Just the two of you? With all of us we're already outnumbered about five to one. How--" Sanguine quickly cut him off, not wanting to spend time arguing. "Sir! Firstly there's three of us. Secondly, there were about 20 soldiers here before. Oliver took care of almost all of them, by himself, with ease. I'm as strong as he he. We can do this. However we can't be everywhere at once and will have a harder time protecting so many villagers. It may be difficult, but we can fight them." The man really didn't know what to think. If the three of them were that strong, it was odd that he didn't know their names before today. As anyone of that power would be quite famous. "...All right...but I'm staying close-by to help if needed." The man quickly turned towards his soldiers, giving out new orders.

In the mean time Sanguine walked towards Oliver again, meeting in the middle. "We're going out there with just us three. If I can't see the people of this land fight, I want to at least properly test how much of our power from the g-- from Yggdrasil remains." She quickly corrected herself, having almost forgotten that Daiëlle saw the game as real as well. "Daniëlle, that means you're only coming as backup. You're to only engage if we are in danger." "But mistress, these soldiers are mere insects compared to supreme beings such as you..." "That's an order! This experiment might determine a large part of our plans for the future, so I need to know how we measure up to the people of this land. Even if they're mere insects, me and Oliver must test it for ourselves." Daniëlle reluctantly bowed. She felt this enemy wasn't worthy of her masters, but an order was an order.

"Well then, how about we go out and greet them then?" Sanguine finally spoke, smiling a little nervously at Oliver. She was excited to see what they could do, but at the same time it was a little intimidating. Around 60 enemies against just the three of them. In the normal world she would have been afraid and hidden herself.

Ugh...I almost had my entire post written (4 paragraphs) when I accidentally clicked the window away... ~_~ Kinda drained me to try again, so...will post tomorrow.

Overlords. (Sarpedon/Sanquin)

For your post, it's fine if you want to have the enemy come in yours. Basically, it's a Slane Theocracy force. And this time they have about 40 soldiers, 20 mages, and a bishop. (cleric) I figured, once our two characters join in, Oliver could deal with the soldiers while Sanguine deals with the mages and bishop. Sanguine will have plans for the bishop. ;)

Sanguine smiled, glad that they didn't have to get into another argument. The main difference between her and him seemed to be that he saw these people as potential allies. She saw them as potential enemies. And though she didn't fully realize it yet, in the back of her mind she considered the possibility of taking over. Of possibly becoming the sole ruler of all three kingdoms, if they were powerful enough. What better way to ensure a good life than being all the way at the top, right? That had been true for all of history, so it would likely work the same in this world. It meant keeping as good an image as possible, but it also meant that they would have to take over by force.

"I don't think it's wise to send a bunch of undead with them. You saw how the villager and cherriff reacted to me. I doubt they'll see undead as anything but a bad thing, even coming from allies. I didn't have my minion bring over the soldier for the same reason. But most likely Daniëlle is here too now, so if anything goes wrong..." She sighed, shaking her head. "I shouldn't worry about that." She smiled before walking towards the carriage that had just entered the village at quite a quick pace. If it was Daniëlle, she would have to hide her being a vampire too. Luckily she arrived before any of the soldiers came to check what was going on.

She opened the carriage wanting to warn the other vampire, but saw that it was mostly unneeded for now. The woman was wearing her full gear. Full plate armour combined with a long spear. So her face was fully covered. "Daniëlle, we're hiding that we're vampires for now." The woman spoke softly. "Don't take off your helmet, and don't be hostile towards the villagers. I have plans for this place at a later time." Sanguine didn't really have plans yet. But she figured it would silence any questions for the time being.

The holy warrior decided to come and see what was going on as well. He arrived just as Daniëlle stepped out of the wagon. "Lady Sanguine, whom is female knight?" "You dare speak--" Daniëlle wanted to start, though Sanguine quickly smacked her against the back of her helmet. "Forgive my servant, she knows little of your status. This is Daniëlle, the maid of honour I spoke of. Though as I said that isn't entirely correct. She is my servant, but also fights by my side at times. In this case, she will help protect the villagers. She's not as strong as me or Oliver, but still a highly skilled warrior." The man smiled, nodding slightly. "Very well, I welcome any assistance I can get at the moment."

Once they were out of range Oliver immediately asked about what they had to discuss, and added some reassurance. She wasn't at all concerned though. Considering how easy it had been to dispatch of the first wave of enemies, a second one couldn't be that much harder. "I know what you want to do. You want to be there on the front lines killing as much of those enemies as possible. But I think this is a good opportunity to gather more information. I want to let the royal warrior and his soldiers fight first while we 'protect' the villagers. See their tactics, how they fight, what skills they have. Especially that royal warrior himself. As it will give a good indication of what we can expect in the future. If things go bad, we can step in at any time. But I don't want to let such an early opportunity go to waste."

It was then that more shouting was heard. "Sir, incoming! Though...it's just a carriage!" That immediately got Sanguine's attention. As they were still expecting someone themselves. "Wait, that might be ours!" She called, turning to see if she recognized the vehicle. She didn't, but the flag on the side was definitely tier guild's. "It's my maid of honour, of sort." Sanguine spoke, being glad that she had remembered a few things about medieval titles. The soldiers saw that as enough reason to let the carriage enter. It wasn't like the enemy would send a force small enough to fit into one anyway. The vampiress turned to Oliver again. "So you okay with holding back for a bit?"

Was bringing it up to see if we could find a solution, but that would be easier I admit. ^^;;
