BBBBalta

OOC: Glad that's resolved, but how exactly did he manage to leave the hut? He and Ignotus were already outnumbered by a group who was none too happy with them and would almost certainly try to stop him, plus Aelynn was waiting outside "to block the Mystix's exit."IC: LekuaLekua gave a small start of surprise as another bat-thing rose from Matau's hut. Thought there was a wall of iron there, he thought. He ignored the new bat-thing, instead gaining on Zar, who, Lekua noticed, was holding a Madu. I'll have to make quick-sure he doesn't do anything with it, Lekua thought.

OOC: I'm assuming this vacuum is fixed in place, rather than following Zar. Posting according to this assumption.IC: LekuaLekua suddenly found himself unable to breathe. Cyclone plummeted, unable to keep himself aloft as there was no air to support his wings. Fortunately, the Kahu and his rider emerged from the vacuum after falling a few meters. Cyclone shook his head as he flapped his wings and flew forward, slowly at first, then gaining speed. Lekua loaded another disc into his launcher as they pursued the bat-thing towards the Koro.

IC: LekuaLekua rolled his eyes as he realized that the other Kahu was flown by a pair of Irregular's squad members. He gave a quick signal to Cyclone as they approached the bat-thing, and the Kahu extended his talons, attempting to create a gash in Zar's wing while the bat-thing was distracted by the Xavier's discs.OOC: Magnetism can be absorbed; Psionics and Gravity are the only Toa elements that cannot.

Would someone please give an official word on whether Laz survived the attack? It could have a significant impact on how the rest of the battle plays out...

Some cheat codes can be deactivated by re-entering them, but those cannot as they add items to your inventory. Of course, you can easily just not use the items you got from the cheat code.

IC: Jotham"Well, I vaguely recall a Ko-Matoran telling me the Sanctum is the most important building in the Koro, so I would assume it's near the center of the village, or at least along the main path," Jotham said, gesturing to the icy road. "By the way, I never got your names."

Finishing up as many sidequests as I can find before entering the final battle.

IC: LekuaCyclone circled upward, providing Lekua with a view of the area around Le-Koro. There seemed to be only one of the bat-things still fighting. He pulled Cyclone around and angled the Kahu into a dive towards Zar.OOC: Kalama's fighting Zar with several characters, right? How many, exactly?

Those images look like they're supposed to be synchronized, but they aren't.

IC: LekuaLekua watched as the two bat-things fell through the platform to the jungle below. A Toa dived down the hole after them, and the vinesmen quickly followed. Lekua doubted he could be of much help, so he let out a shrill cry to call Cyclone. Mounting the Kahu, he again took to the sky to look for any remaining bat-things.OOC: How many Mystix are left in the sky? I know Ignotus is in Matau's hut, Kraal is sneaking away, Agira is fighting Cy and the vinesmen, and I think Laz was knocked out, right? Who's the fifth one? I've only seen four do anything, though that was probably due to my skimming most posts.

IC: LekuaLekua let out a sigh of relief as the vinesmen appeared. A whirlwind protected the two bat-things, but if these creatures were anything like Toa they wouldn't be able to keep up such a powerful attack for long. Lekua counted his discs - he had six left. He prepared to jump from the roof to help the vinesmen as soon as the whirlwind subsided.OOC: Last post for a while.

IC: LekuaLekua easily leaped to the side to dodge the two discs and then backed up a few more steps, loading another disc but not firing it. He couldn't afford to waste more discs, as he knew the bat-things would be able to dodge or block all of his shots. He couldn't engage in close-range combat, as he was outnumbered and he wasn't certain he'd be a match for even one of them. Perhaps he could draw them away? He waited for the bat-things to make the next move.OOC: Vinesmen should be attacking Kraal and Agira any second now, right?Also, I have to take a break for about half an hour. Hope Lekua doesn't get killed in the meantime.

IC: LekuaLekua jumped back as metal spikes appeared from the roof he was standing on. He loaded and fired two more discs in quick succession.

IC: LekuaThe shot missed, but Lekua knew from experience that the best thing to do was remain calm. The bat-thing slipped into the village...maybe I could tail him and set an ambush? I know my way around better than him, that's for sure...Lekua removed the disc launcher from Cyclone's saddle as the Kahu landed on the edge of the village. Lekua quickly climbed to the top of a hut and followed the bat-thing from the rooftops until it reached Matau's hut. Two of them now... He was out numbered, but he couldn't give up. Fitting another disc into his launcher, he fired at the first bat-thing's neck.

IC: JothamInteresting... thought Jotham. Must be pretty a pretty important mission, in that case..."Yes," he agreed, "though it's rather cold for my tastes - I'm used to the desert, after all. I've been here a few times before, though not recently."

IC: LekuaLekua loaded his disc launcher as the bat-thing began to climb the tree to Le-Koro. "Oh, no you don't..." he murmured, taking careful aim and firing.OOC: I assume Kraal is still climbing the tree, correct? If not, sorry. I was gone for a few hours, so I couldn't keep up with what was gone on...

IC: LekuaLekua's mind raced as the battle began in full. Another member of the force crashed into a wall of crystal and began to fall. Lemaku appeared to have the offending bat-creature covered, so Lekua angled Cyclone into a dive, hoping to reach the falling Matoran before he hit the ground. Catching the Matoran on his Kahu's back and leaving him in a tree, Lekua was about to return to the sky when he saw a blur of motion out of the corner of his eye. Looking again, he saw another of the bat-creatures sprinting through the jungle. He took off after it, staying above the treetops.

IC: JothamJotham shrugged. "Understandable. Frankly, I don't thoroughly trust you either." He paused, then changed the subject. "So I take it you don't come this way often, then? I was hoping for some directions as well, actually..." His voice trailed off.

OOC: So the only damage that's been done so far was when the trees fell thanks to the Madu fruit, right? And the Mystix are currently flying in to attack but haven't been seen yet?IC: LekuaLekua scanned the treetops from Cyclone's back. He could easily make out where several trees had been felled, but there was no one around that area, not anymore, anyway. He turned to another pilot as a bird swooped past him. "Any idea where they are?" He asked.OOC: Any other Gukko Force member, feel free to respond.

IC: Jotham"Interesting...looks vaguely familiar, though I can't place it exactly..." Jotham paused, thinking, then shook his head as if to clear it. "Why are you looking for these charms?" he asked.OOC: Last post for today.

IC: Jotham"Charms? What do you mean by that?"OOC: Posted at the same time as you, sorry. Revising.

Is it obvious that there's about to be a battle, or is everyone in Le-Koro oblivious?

OOC: Okay, so is it obvious that there's about to be a battle, or is everyone in Le-Koro oblivious? And what's this about poisoned food?EDIT: Sorry for OOC posts.

OOC: Has the battle started yet, or could I still join with a Gukko Force character?
