xccj Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 IC: Xyron kicked at Jeldrax's feet, causing him to fall back. This gave Xyron time to spring to his feet and drew his machete, but Jeldrax was still between him and his disc.Angered, Jeldrax swung his sword hard. Xyron parried it, but he could already feel the strength behind the blow. One on one, he wouldn't last against Jeldrax.Besides, with more solders rushing up behind him, he didn't have the time.Jeldrax swung his sword, but this time Xyron gracefully dodged around it. Before Jeldrax could recover, Xyron slipped around him, grabbed his disc, and ran. Only he had nowhere to go; the streets were filling up with soldiers.So he took an alternate route. Using his disc to decrease his weight, he jumped and landed on the roof of the nearest building...

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 OOC: I would appreciate if, in the future, you didn't dictate my characters actions in combat.IC: Jeldrax / City of FireJeldrax could see his target running. Angered, he grabbed a javelin held by one of the soldiers and hurled it at the fleeing matoran before shouting out, "Capture him before he escapes the city!"IC: Aiazoah / Frozen Air Shrine (that sounds nice)Aiazoah stared in awe at where they were. The shrines appearance was deceptive on the outside; it actually opened up above, letting the light fall down. A pool of water sat in the middle, and a massive statue to Toa Chamina. From the statues hands poured out water - a complex mechanism, whatever his was - that went down to the pool that lay below. It was truly awe inspiring.The room was circular, and on the left side was a staircase that led up to a platform on the right where an altar sat. The stairs were crumbling apart, it seemed. To the right was a passage way leading to a door behind the statue, and past that the completion of the loop."Come on," she said, headng around and to the door.

Alfon was heading in the right direction and would be there in an hour at the most although he didn't fully trust himself as it was common for him to get lost, despite being an explorer.

The Le-Matoran may have been fast in Le-Wahi, but this was his turf, and Ramanox knew every inch of it. He had scaled many of these very walls countless times. Seeing Xyron fall into the street, Ramanox leaped down, and while still invisible ran forward and tried to tackle Xyron.IC: LifI gazed in amazment at the wonders of the place, I tried to sketch it into my notebook but Aiazoah was calling me, so I followed.

But the street was still empty.Then something tackled him. And Xyron realized that the street wasn't empty; his opponent must be using invisibility or illusions to hide themselves. He jumped to his feet and started to run. Unknown to him, his pack of supplies had been ripped off. All he had with him was his disc and machete.

The Matoran walked around a bit, looking here and there for anything that caught his eye. Every Wahi and its city were so unique and beautiful and Alfon took a great liking to their world. That's why he became an explorer and adventurer.Soon, he found the stone monument Ledzel mentioned and sat on a nearby stone bench, waiting for his new acquaintance to arrive.

However, instead of proving easy to open, it resisted every effort."I think I almost got it..." she said as she finally wrenched the door open. However, as she stumbled back, her eyes went wide and she was about to proclaim an exclamation - a swarm of ice bats hit her like a battering ram, knocking her back and into the water behind the statue.Pulling herself up, she groaned and said, "Who ever thought that ice bats could hurt anybody."IC: Jeldrax / City of FireIt was slow going, but Jeldrax was running fast enough now that he had come in sight of the fleeing matoran - and the gates. "Close the gates!" he shouted as loudly as he could.

EmperorWhenua Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ic: Romulus stepped out of the gates of the citadel, another entourage with him already. He hadn't reached for his sword yet, only his disk in hand. He dramatically looked left, then right as the camera panned dramatically to his face.And revealed that he could see his breath.He looked up at the sky, previously red but now mottled with gray clouds. and specks of snow fell to the ground, quickly melting as they hit the stone. Of all the times for nature to enter his city, it had to choose this moment. For some, it seemed almost prophetic of the times to come, but Romulus was a literalist. This was an annoyance, not an omen.Kondam was safe, but he was also away. And for now, with the other generals away, Romulus was the only one who could order on the level of the senior general. For now, he was the Frareo's Best. One of the guards already was sealing one of the gates to the city, but there were many walls within walls in this city and Jeldrax's order had only impacted one inner gate. And, with all the authority befitting his position, Romulus changed that. "Seal the city!" he barked. "All gates: closed. Close the main gate! Now! We won't let this assassin ruin our home!"Immediately, those who had been idle moments before were to work, either delivering the command or doing it themselves. Within moments, the loud creaks of the gates were punctuated with the powerful bang of their complete sealing. There was no place for Xyron to run to."All of you, search for him. He can't have gone far." BZPRPG Profiles / Critical Acclaim / Complaints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xccj Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 IC: A Matoran appeared in front of Xyron, blocking his way. And already, he could hear the city buzz to life with solders who were sealing off the gates and searching for him. The hunt was on for him, and this irked Xyron because HE was usually the hunter.But he did have one advantage. The Ta-Matoran relied too much on their doors and gates. But in the city of trees, a tall wall wasn't enough to stop a nimble Matoran, and Xyron was one of the best climbers around."Don't you get it?" he said to the Matoran ahead of him. "I've been set up.""Tell it to the guards," Ramanox replied.Xyron darted forward, swinging his machete. Ramanox blocked the blow with his two swords, but as he did so Xyron jumped and sailed over his head. The Le-Matoran jumped for the nearest building and quickly climbed up to the roof again."Now to get away," Xyron said to himself. But a backwards glance showed him Ramanox scaling the building just as quickly as he had. Apparently there were some in the City of Fire who could climb.

Ramanox smiled, this was an opportunity he could take advantage of. Unsheathing his dagger he took aim, and threw it at Xyron. Xyron would either get hit, or dodge but fall off. It was a win-win situation for Ramanox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I'm going to the main city gate.""What for, sir?" the man asked quizzically."The man can climb all the walls he wants to, but there is only one way out of this city and he can't climb through it," he said, walking away. The others quickly understood what he meant: the great causeway across the lake of fire. Even if Xyron was able to leave the city itself, he would never make it across the vast bridge that spanned from the gate to the land across the vast, flaming moat.

Toa Levacius Zehvor Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 IC: Jeldrax / City of FireJeldrax had the same basic idea, and was rushing along towards the main gate. He was able to get through the first inner gate, but he came upon a problem with the second."Look, I'm sorry, but nobody is getting past." the guard said."You're seriously going to make an issue out of this with me?" he demanded. Then, he sighed. The guard was right - nobody could get through, even another member of the guard.The wall climber hadn't gotten this far yet, and he would need to pass this wall. There weren't any buildings here; they could block him off."Give me your crossbow." he demanded to one.-Toa Levacius Zehvor "I disapprove of what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall (often attributed to Voltaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slight increase in gravity, and the dagger flew off course, and fell off the roof. Ramanox frowned, and prepared for his next attack. But Xyron wasn't waiting for him. He ran to the edge of the building and jumped, decreasing his gravity as he did so.

Let's Henshin! Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 IC: RamanoxRamanox sighed as his dagger went off course, it was his favorite and daggers of it's quality were hard to come by these days. Making a mental note of it's location, he continued to give chase after Xyron. However he was forced to stop at the roof, without powers like Xyron's he couldn't make that jump. However Ramanox knew the streets of this Koro better than anyone else. First he turned off right and ran through a back alley, then he rouned a corner and then turned right. Quickly climbing up a nearby building, he ran to a clothesline, swung from it, rolled right behind Xyron and the continued to give chase. This wasn't over yet.

xccj Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 IC: As Xyron ran, he knew that he needed a plan. Already he could see the edge of the city... and then the lava lake beyond it. He couldn't take the main gate; they would surely have that blocked. So was there another way out? The short answer was no. Even with his disc, he couldn't just glide over the entire lake of lava... or could he?If his plan was to work, he'd need a few extra items. A large cloth would help. He also needed to find a tall structure on the edge of the village. In the distance, he could see just what he needed; unfortunately, it was a guard tower. He would have to fight his way out.Actually, he would have to fight even more. Ramanox had somehow made it on the rooftops again, and was giving chase...
