Kalama and Ta Rahkshi

"So HELP YOU if you start." Kylina growled at Verdi."Aw relax bro," Tawk said. "It's a joke between us and Kylina. Not a very funny one for her but then again if it's not happening to you, it's funny. Right bro?""You said it dude!" Mawl said saluting with his glass.Kylina snatched the drink from Mawl and dumped it over Tawk's head."GAH!""My slosh!"Xavier burst out laughing as Kylina gave them both an evil smile. "Funny when it's not happening to you isn't it?" She replied coyly.

Mawl shrugged. "Search me dude. Kylina knows this stuff better than I. She's speaking all Turagaish again.""And that is why she is the wise and all knowning Mistress Kylina!" Tawk proclaimed."All glory to the Mistress Kylina!" The Onu-Twins announced."..." Kylina whacked Mawl over the head with her glass."OW!"

Kylina watched Lans go. "That one is gonna get pasted." She said."What makes you say that Kylina?" The Ta-Matoran asked."He's skilled Xavier. That much rings true. Only skilled Matoran can hold themselves the way he does." She said sipping at the drink. "Skilled enough but he's too absorbed in that he's on top he has no idea how close he is.""Close to what?" Xavier asked."The edge."

"Well grab a drink and have a seat Verdi!" Mawl said. "No point in standing!"

The Marines all facepalmed at once."We've been moving towards Ga-Koro for the past several minutes." Hotu said. "And you pick NOW to ask that question?"Rock Frost was nothing more then a shadow in the distance behind them at this point."Come on. Let's see if we can hit the range by the afternoon." Kalama said.

The Matoran looked at each other before back to the second newcomer."If you're looking for the 4th Irregulars no such unit exists that I know of." Kylina said. "We are the 4th Irregulars SQUAD though if that's who you're looking for. Why?""Wait... don't tell me." Mawl swirled his drink before downing it. "Mmmmm... aaaahhhh... NEWBIE!""Mawl my bro, you nailed it fo'sho!"

OOC: You're too focused on seeing them as helpless females. They are not.IC: Tanuka gulped before laughing nervously. "Erm... sure! No pressure...""The Rocks won't get recalled." Kalama said. "Macku and Kopeke are fine. Those stationed at each of the Rocks are there in the event Rahi move on previously guarded territory while the Corps are otherwise occupied. When the Corps resume normal operations, they can help reclaim lost ground when the Marines move back out into the field."He gave both JL and Cyrax a critical look. "We've been warring longer then before ether of your heartlights started beating. Juno here has probably forgotten more about warfare then both of you combined if you're still locked on something that no longer requires our attention. FORGET ABOUT THEM. I was ordered to see to it that Macku was hidden and secured inland. She has been so now my task is done. On to the next mission. In a few hours nether of them will probably be here anymore. Karz they could be gone and moved to another location before we even showed up asking about them. Stick around if you want but you won't see ether of them.""Kalama calm down." Kali said. "They aren't Marines and don't understand. They haven't been through ether Basic or the Noa so they are completely clueless."Kalama took a steadying breath. "You're right. That was stupid of me to assume they would know better.""You know what happens when you assume!" Maya said cheerfully."I get it."FRUMP! Lei landed from her last skip jump sinking into the snow."All clear ahead." She said. "Straight shot through the Ornazk Mountain Range before the border.""Let's hope it stays that way."

"I don't know. Probably at the Leaky Drum or something." Mukaka said.

Kali shook her head. "Not necessary. This is our first action since the Defense of Ga-Koro. We need to do this on our own."Kalama nodded. "You're welcome to come help Agarin but even then the Gukko Force won't respond unless Kotu asks. This is a Marine problem. We're not going to get help. Better that way. We need to prove to ourselves we don't need to be scared anymore. A lot of Ga-Matoran have bad memories of the last three Raids. Time we stood up for ourselves instead of relying on others."

"Mmm... Plantlife Matoran. Obviously you're here for the Irregulars then." Mukaka said before sighing."Ah well. Welcome to the Gukko Force Irregulars. Lesse... Eh, screw it. I'll drop you in the 4th too. Do yourself a favor kid, keep your head down, nose up, and listen to you squadmates. You'll get through your service just fine. Kylina and her lot know how to survive so listen well."-------"Are you gonna grab a brew and siddown or stand there like a Husi caught in sunrise?" Kylina said to the Le-Matoran still standing there."Yeah come on dude! Bring a slosh and let's get WASTED!" Tawk said."Like a swarm of RAMA!" Mawl replied.

You'll understand when it's ready. For now I'm done talking about it. All will be revealed at a later date.

Kylina's eyes shifted to the Le-Matoran who'd cleared his throat."Whutdayawant?" She asked."Says he got reassigned to us." Mawl said."Oh. Well then grab a drink and siddown." She said. "You waiting on an invitation?" She turned back to the Ta-Matoran. "Where was I? Oh right! So then he turns around and decks the knucklehead right in the kisser and says 'What do you take me for? A Ruki?' To which I said 'Probably, he was looking to get you hook, line and sinker!'"The Matoran all started laughing.

Yes there will be battle summaries and reports as each day goes on.No there will not be a live chat.It will be played normally like any other combat you've seen. The system just resolves the fights quicker based on the combatants' RP'ing ability. Who types best, wins. Whichever side achieves the most wins is the victor.Granted the Beta is going to be heavily scripted for a certain outcome as it's more to test the system then for fun but future battles will be open ended and allow the players to decide who achieves victory.Meaning YOU will write the history books......IN BLOOD.That is all.

I am in agreement. However let's take a quick look at the latest in the Rahkshi search in Le-Wahi. Recently, 6 Rahkshi just raided the hiding place of an unknown Toa of Water. This was revealed as to be a cupboard of sorts. They appeared to be most interested in a pile of stones about the same size as pebbles. They are not looking for something as big as a Kanohi or a Toa Stone. It's something far smaller and easier to mistake for a rather common object.

OOC: She's there. I can only do so many characters before I need to take a break and let people respond or nobody would ever get to play with me. She's just being quiet right now. Unless I say otherwise, assume all of my characters are together.IC: Nuraka 'tch'ed. "That was we said the last time they rampaged through. 'course back then we didn't have the Marine Corps ether. They're going to get a nasty surprise this time around."Kali looked back toward Agarin. "Us alone aren't going to cut it." She said. "It's likely there's going to be more Tarakava then you've ever seen grouped together in one place. If we don't stop them should they decide to attack, they'll overrun Ga-Koro in mere seconds. They did the last three times. This time we'll stop them but it's likely going to take every Marine we have. Hence why there's a mass recall."

Don't expect it to fall together immediately. It's still in Alpha Testing. So far it looks reasonable but until I get it done and released for Beta which will be the Fourth Raid there's going to be some issues.Once Beta is concluded I would appreciate the feedback so can fine tune it for regular use.Granted the system is designed more for mass PvP events and not intended to be used to replace the current combat system as it stands now. It's meant to quickly resolve the scenarios during the event in a timely manner so that a conclusive decision on how the event ends can be reached. It is heavily based on player RP'ing ability and will most likely evolve as time goes on.

If you looking into doing that, you're best off talking to some of the local Guardsmen. The Rahi-Matoran War hasn't ended. Once I get the battle system in place after testing it with the Tarakava Raid, expect to see more events pop up revolving around the conflict.

No, it won't take place for awhile. Odds are I'll drag out the travels but it won't happen until both Emzee posts the news article I gave him or I make the announcement here and Kalama Raider's get to Ga-Koro. Then recruitment for both sides will open up for awhile before the actual fighting starts.You're welcome to make references to the force build up since you're already there and can see everything though.

The Lieutenant sighed before looking up."Oh. A new recruit. Don't see many of you." He said. "Yes I'm Lieutenant Mukaka. What can I help you with?"

"Did I miss anything important?" A voice from Nen's shoulders asked."Yes you did Nala." Kalama responded. "You missed a lot.""Oh good. Better than missing nothing. If nothing is missing then I have no reason to even hang around.""Very cute.""I try." Nala grinned."Tarakava massing outside Naho Bay. Cha-Codfish is recalling all available Marines.""We are due for another raid then.""Right now it's a stand off. To see who blinks first."Nala blinked. "Does that mean I win?" She asked.

"ANOTHER one?" The Onu-Matoran said as he continued to hop along. "You the second one in days! We just got a new CO too!"He lifted his foot gently depositing the brew on the table before putting one down and taking the one on the top of his head down."It's about time bro!" Another Onu-Matoran said who except for the Mask looked and sounded EXACTLY like the Onu-Matoran who had delivered the drinks. He grabbed the drink and started slamming it back."AAAAHHHH! That's the good slosh! Mawl you know how to stir and not shake.""Only the best for bro-kind Tawk!" Mawl said. The clinked glasses."Broforce!" They chorused before chugging the drinks.The Ga-Matoran seated in the booth rolled her eyes at the pair. "You two are such hams.""Better than scrambled eggs Mistress Kylina!" They chorused again after wiping their mouths at the exact same time."Don't. Call. Me. That." She growled before swallowing some of the brain numbing liquid.

"What about Mistress Kylina?" an Onu-Matoran said as he hopped by on one foot. Two drinks were held in ether hand. A third was balanced on his foot while a fourth was balanced on his head.He was obviously very practiced with doing this as he barely spilled any drink as he hopped along.

Just don't split the party, no good ever comes of it. XDRegardless of anyone else's intentions and reasons, I have no reason to go Rahkshi hunting until attacked as all of my chars are currently unaware of the situation until further notice.You go have fun. I'm going to sit comfortably until the alarm is sounded.

Okay. I'll give ya that.The question is... do you REALLY want to go investigate something that sounds like a banshee wailing when you can't see what it is to make sure it's... well... REASONABLY harmless?After all, isn't that how the first person gets killed in a horror survival B movies?

The bartender snorted. "It's not that hard to find. It's to your left three building down across the way. No need to go fightin' anyone."
