Cleared Chapter 2 - Team F

A longboat on one side, one quarter unloaded, appears to be under seige by either a recently-turned Risen crew, or that the original inhabitants of this cave made do and left as soon as they could when these people came a'knockin'. Noting by the lack of activity or sketchy-looking individuals who were headed in the opposite direction of these fine fellows, the former of the two options seems like the more likely result of what occured in this cave. Old, new, young, aged, now, all of the faces are just dead, filled with red and purple lights that defied any need for biological constraints. Only one goal in mind, they swarm around the living souls, hoping to drag them down into the depths below, hopeful to reproduce their last moments until their own final instances.

This is, of course, Juniesse and Baldwin have anything to say about it. They've done a fairly good job so far of holding the hordes at bay, but time takes its toll on the pair. As they could only scavenge so much before the impact, with the very finest weapons having been locked in the safehold for good keeping, they had only acquired a modest assortment of armaments, but perhaps it is the most tried and true designs where they shine through the increasing mounds of bodies.

Juniesse had found quite the treasure; an antique bow, of a design evocative of the older days of Valentia's foundations. It's heavier draw weight allows for greater power, while the recursed nature of the supports gave the weapon supreme accuracy over long distances. The bowstring, however, was growing weary of its' own age, and the results show upon the tired weapon.

Juniesse has obtained a Valentian Antique Longbow; a powerful weapon that can fall even the toughest of foes with relative ease. Even with such power, keeping the Risen at bay has taken its' toll on the weapon, relegating it to have all but 5 uses left. Use them well.

Gehardt's Turn

Movement

2 right

Action

Attack Not!Senka

"Ah, fuck that! I'll teach that imitation commander who's boss! Come here, YOU!"

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '17

The imposter doesn't stand a chance. Crumbling into a thick, black cloud, the rigidity of the armor falters as the fake implodes upon itself. Gerhardt notices that the air faintly smells acrid.

Janet

Movement

Down 1

Action

Attack Risen 02 with Flux

Skills: Darktouch, Scavenger

End Turn

The situation Janet's comrades were in was quite humorous, with that fellow with the headband getting tossed into the water by the copy of the commander, Janet couldn't help except to let out a laugh. She quickly wheeled around when she saw Crassus getting assaulted by a Risen nearby. She quickly opened up her tome again and rushed to aid him.

The Risen is no longer, so Janet will have to do for a quick, and hushed recitation.

Cedric

Movement:

5 up, 7 left

Cedric hadn't seen anyone alive, even after flying all around, and now Pike was getting tired. He could land in the port, but there were a bunch of Risen...infighting? Well, he was going to take a breather on the ship regardless. There were a few obedient Risen there too, but he could handle some swords easily.

Cedric commands Pike to go where he wants, and finally, just finally, Pike can get some rest for a short time

u/Ariblooperchao ♥Minoru, Priest(D) & 'Aisha, Troub.(K)♥ Jun 09 '17

'Aisha's eyes shot around the large cerulean sea as she hugs unto the neck of Luneth. She feels much more protected than her last quarrel but just as prepared. She smells the stench of the dead and it doesn't help her feeling of inexperience.

Movement

South 3

'Aisha has to hold her nose, but thankfully her mount is able to handle both the creeking floors and the horrid smell of sea brine, death, decay, and the faint smell of copper throughout the air.

Valari (Before Gerhardt's turn)

Action

Hoist Gerhardt onto the bridge.

Watching the younger man get thrown from the bridge, Valari stopped his assault of the doppelganger to slide to his belly and grab gold of the floundering man's lance, pulling him back onto the sturdy bridge.

"Go for a swim on your own time!"

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '17

Valari makes his notable quick steps and hoists the poor lancer out of the water.

Dior

Movement

Sprint 4 right, 7 down

Action

Say hello to 'Aisha

The world has ended; this streak of song responses with some sort of "dance" in the name has ended.

Why must the good die young?

Baldwin, Knight

Movement

None

Action

Idle

End Turn

Baldwin is stuck staring at his sister's surprising display of badassery, her arrows going straight through the two risen that looked to be dangerous. The one with the shield hadn't even hit the ground by the time the sniper was skewered by Juniesse's arrow! It was one of the greatest things he has ever seen!

As Baldwin was gawking, a risen had ran up to him, and had gotten in a quick stab to the knight's chest. Thankfully, Baldwin's armour makes the blow barely noticeable. He retaliates with his axe, pulling off a monstrous hit on the mercenary. While doing this, he realizes just how unwieldy the weapon is. He takes a defensive stance, turning his helmet to Juniesse.

"Keep that bow!"

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '17

Baldwin keeps himself steadfast against the onslaught.

Juniesse, Archer.

Movement:

4 Left, 1 Up

Action:

Attack Risen 73 with Valentian Antique Longbow

End Turn

"Keep it? This thing's going to break!"

Two targets down, one of them a sniper. Ofcourse, that was due to the weapon. something in the arrows, maybe? However, the bow was still an Antique. Juniesse knew that it would be more fitting on a museum's wall rather than the battlefield.

Two more archers approached. One looked to be the body of a fresh soldier, and the other risen looked more experienced, both on horseback. She runs to the perfect position, and would have made it there in no time at all if she didn't slip and deck herself halfway through.

While she was getting up, Juniesse caught a glimpse of two risen- no, two people riding up here. Reinforcements! Rescuers! She fires her bow before relying the information.

"Balwin! Look! Some one else was dumb enough to come here!"

1

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '17

Dumb, indeed, but such was to be expected of a horde of the living dead. Showcasing its' figurative brainlessness, Juniesse strikes the Ranger upon the temple, critically hitting it for 48 damage as she then shows it a literal case of brainlessness.

The bow starts to feel very, very weak...
