Ghosthands Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) IC (Echelon)Echelon looked back at the burning village. Raising a hand, he focussed on the two armoured Skakdi he'd brought with him. They rose from where they lay, one shaking off its coating of ice as if it were leaves, and broke into a practically unstoppable run towards the treeline. A couple of elemental attacks struck their armour, but the Kufa's metal alloy shrugged it off.As the Juggernauts reached him, Echelon disappeared into the jungle along with the rest of the Makuta's forces, and headed in the direction of the Kini-Nui. He strode quickly westwards, flanked by his hulking thralls.He had work to do. No rest for the wicked.

~Xemnas~ Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 IC, Zenix: Zenix dropped the spear he was holding and walked behind Echelon. He was pleased of the damage that had been done to Pala-Koro. It had been almost completely destroyed. Surely it would've crushed the hope of the ILF. Absentmindedly, Zenix drew one of his gladii and looked at it with a sigh. He would have to sharpen both as soon as he got the chance. A dull weapon just wouldn't do...

Krayzikk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) IC: SkrihenSkrihen continued to advance, completely unharmed for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, gravity does not work that way. A Matatu does, but controlling gravity that precisely is impossible. In fact, that move alone is impossible due to the way the world works. Second, even if it did work that way, Skaara had already used a ridiculous amount of elementar energy in the fights leading up to the present.

Krayzikk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 IC: SkrihenThe grass around Skrihen's feet grew, and wrapped around her ankles, tethering her to the ground. The grass grew up wherever she stepped, allowing her to continue forward with no problem.Seeing Skaara wasn't a problem either. Between her vines and the grass on the ground, she could easily tell where he was, and where each part of his body was. The immense amount of plants allowed her to "see" through a sort of sonar, substituting for her regular eyesight.At her direction, a vine sprouted near Skaara's head and wrapped around his mask, pulling in an attempt to remove it.

Legolover-361 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 IC: NovaNighttimePala-Koro, Le-WahiAn indeterminable interval of time passed before Nova heard the sounds of battle recede. As if to fill the void of sound left, the nocturnal life of the jungle hesitantly began to resume their occupations. Chirps and faint rustles lapsed into the white noise of a normal Le-Wahi night.Nova's leg muscles were stiff when he finally moved from his position by the window. He half-limped to the doorway and hid behind it. He let a few minutes slip by in inactivity before experimentally poking his head outside. Nothing.His heart's incessant pounding compelled him to wait another minute -- For you can't know, it said, if your attacker retreated with the others or if he remained in hiding. Nova felt no urge to disagree; he could, after all, use the rest.Returning to the space of floor by the window, he sat beneath the windowsill and yawned. A bit of rest wouldn't hurt. Neither would a nap. Even the cold wooden floor now felt to Nova as comfortable as a proper bed... (( BZPRPG profiles: Kynaera, Nova )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of the enemy combats had fled, a few were stilling skirmishing with other members of the ILF, but Kethrye was content that they would soon either submit and surrender or, more likely, follow the rest of their fellows. The battle was, at last, over, and the predawn light illuminated the aftermath.He winced as he felt the pain from his many accumulated wounds hit him, his armor pitted and the flesh beneath bruised or bleeding. His joints creaking as he trudged towards the village center. And he wasn't the worst off of the group, in all likelihood."We won," he said to no one in particular, surveying the wrecked walls and burning huts around him. "We. . . won."

Krayzikk Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 IC: SkrihenExcept gravity, even when lightened, does not force things to move. The vine continued on its course, wrapping around Skaara;s mask, and pulling.Skrihen ignored his comment, and came to a stop a few feet away. In one movement, she brought her sword up, and swung it down towards Skaara's neck. Incapacitated, there was very little opportunity for him to dodge. Increasing gravity would merely bring the sword down harder, and lightening it would have no effect at all.

The blow had started, and nothing Skaara had done was fast enough to stop it. Her zweihander cleaved through the Ba-Toa's neck, cleanly separating his head from his shoulders. It rolled away from his body, eternally frozen in a grotesque representation of his last words.Coldly, Skrihen pulled her blade free from the ground, and returned it to her back. She pivoted on one foot, turning her back to the corpse that had once been her enemy. In a way, it was karma. Her foe had earned the fate that he had attempted to bestow on Lumira.

Emzee Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 IC: Ronkshou continued to trudge uncomfortably through the greenish brown waters of the swamp, wondering when this torturous trek would end. Ronkshou spent most of his time in the dry mountains of Tiro Canyon – he couldn’t stand the humidity and relentless insects here.After about half an hour of walking, Ronkshou then noticed the ground getting a little more firmer, the grass literally looking a little greener.They were finally leaving Fau Swamp.Still heading south, Ronkshou glanced upwards to see Vidar slide down another vine, taking a lower route with the canopy as opposed to above it. The reasoning was obvious once Ronkshou heard the buzzing and screeching of Nui Rama and Gukko birds. They were now entering Gukko Force patrol territory, which meant that they were near Laka Kanae, and by proxy, the village of Le-Koro.“If we continue on t his path, we run the risk of encountering Matoran,” Ronkshou said in his low, rumbling voice, “I don’t think the Makuta likes it very much when we kill his people, as rebellious as they are, without cause. We need to change course”Vidar heard Ronkshou and frowned as he continued swing from tree to tree like a Brakas. If they went slightly west around the village, they’d need to get close to the west Le-Wahi beach and have to cross the many rivers of the delta that connected the endless ocean to Lake Kanae. And going east around Le-Koro would be foolish – it would add more hours to their trip and get them too close to Lake Pala, which was still a warzone as far as they were concerned. Even from where they were, they could see smoke billowing up into the sky.It seemed that they would have to cross the rivers.Vidar’s disappointment was quickly washed away my memories triggered by the environment he was now in.This is the place, Vidar realized as he looked around, This is where I was born and raised.Ronkshou turned to his right and began to move slightly over to the west beach. The buzzing of insects was replaced by the growling and strolling of ash bears and other wildlife.Ronkshou didn’t say anything, but he recognized this place as well. Almost 100 years ago, shortly after he joined the Makuta, he was sent to scout the jungle. A feral Toa tried to attack him and Ronkshou quickly subdued him. Despite the short fight, Ronkshou was impressed by the savage’s hunting skills and heightened sense of smell and hearing.Not having a real name, other than offensive names like “beast” or “savage”, Ronkshou named him “Vidar”, offering him food and shelter in return for his unbreakable loyalty to the Makuta.Ronkshou never bothered to ask how a Toa managed to be forced to live among the Rahi away from civilization. He honestly didn’t care, just as long as Vidar continued to serve the Makuta and do his duty well.The Infected Toa looked up at the Toa of Air as he continued to move through the trees, also changing his direction and following Ronkshou.It seemed the Parakuka had made Vidar return to his roots.The two continued through the dense, drier jungle.“Keep your eyes open for any sapient beings,” Ronkshou warned Vidar.“Of course,” Vidar replied, surprised Ronkshou’s redundant remark, “I’ve been doing that this whole time, why stop now?” "hey girl: here’s an idea, but… it’s up to you: You’re the boss of this operation."

Impeccably dressed and carrying a suitcase filled with... an unknown set of items, he ran hard for Lake Pala. "I hate the jungle..." I thought. "I could just burn my way through-na, too risky." I continued to run. I needed to check on Jomar; he hadn't been sending any status reports for a while now and with this latest news, I feared the worst. If Jomar had been killed... Still, an alliance would still be possible; but without the middleman, things were about to get a lot tougher. I continued to sprint through the vines, using my Matatu to clear the way as best as I could. "Let's hope they're still there; if I walk into the village sight to be greeted by a bunch of Makuta followers..." I shuddered at the thought.

sunflower Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) IC: Shhhk.Shhhk.Shhhk.The sharp sound of metal sliding against metal cut through the ambient sounds of the jungle like a sword through water, the calls and echos interrupted regularly from the unnatural sound.Shhhk.The source of the high-pitched sound was a silvery knife, slightly curved on one side, with a serrated edge on the other. A leather grip formed the hilt of the blade. It was a hunter's knife, one that was made to last, not rust, even in to harshest of conditions.Shhhk.The hunting knife was held in a gauntleted hand, the dark grey metal chipped and scratched from countless battles and hunting trips. The gauntlet covered long, dexterous fingers that gripped the knife expertly, while rotating the grip every few seconds. The other armored hand held a metal tool, which was periodically slid across the surface of the blade; the source of the metallic scraping sound that spread through the jungle.With one final Shhhk, the metal tool was set down, while the knife was placed into a leather bag set up against a gnarled root. This root led up to an old tree, the trunk easily the size of a few Toa at its widest. Leaning up against this tree was a tall, athletic figure covered in dark grey armor. A teal Kanohi shaped vaguely like a Matatu sat on his face, while a spiked, dual bladed ax was strapped across his back. A small fire provided light within the dark jungle, and cast long, flickering shadows throughout the treeline. The being glanced down at the fire momentarily, the light reflecting off of the lenses on his Kanohi, before going back to staring ahead.He was watching, but he wasn't. Aware, but not entirely present. From experience, he knew not to sleep in the open, especially in the jungle. And so, this state would suffice untill shelter could be found. It was also why a metallic arrow was notched within the elegent, black, recurve bow held loosely in his hand. Out here, everyone was prey, governed by the fundamental law that applied everywhere: eat, or be eaten.The simplicity of it appealed to the experienced hunter, and it was one of the reasons why he did what he did. However, this wasn't a normal hunt. He was hunting a much more clever prey then rahi, one that could easily kill him. One that was especially dangerous to those of his kind.Zauk was hunting the Followers of Makuta.

It was hard keeping his eyes open, but he forced himself too. Because, just as he expected, Shinn fired upon Verak with his light rifle.Verak took a moment to tap deep into the energies of his mask, using it to help focus his aim and his throw, helping him toss the brick in his hand into the bullet of light, blocking the projecting an blowing the brick into dust. He continued on his trajectory, flying through the cloud that once was a brick, right towards Shinn.He shot a hand out, and before the Vortixx could react, Verak's hand was around Shinn's ankle, squeezing as tightly as Verak could to prevent himself from continuing flying. This jerked Shinn's leg back, pulling the flying sniper parallel to the ground. Verak hadn't lost his momentum yet, and his body began to swing around towards Shinn's back, his other brick aimed right for the artificial wings, still retaining much of his initial speed. -------------- Tarrok | Korzaa | Verak | Kirik -------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
