(Rolls are based on a 20/100 system. Any additional roll changes will be made known.) [hider=Awareness] 20/100 +20 For Armor noise. Roll = 84 Total [/hider] [hider=Hound Kills] This roll is 1/20 with no bonus. It will decide how many extra deaths happened due to the time your character lost. Roll = 3. So three additional deaths. [/hider] There was a largely unseen beauty hidden behind the pained screams that tore through the air waves. A beauty which Xavier currently reveled and experienced an electric shiver dance along his spine; adding a visibly giddy skip to his step. Now even though he was enjoying himself, it was not enough to stop him from picking up on the rough metallic sounds of armor once again. As his left foot met the hard dirt Xavier allowed his momentum to decrease as his head turned to the right. Allowing him to gaze over his shoulder just in time to see the woman throw herself into the air. It was becoming clear that she was not going to be as easy to frighten off as the others. Such a realization was not a terrible one though, Xavier had felt her power levels and there was barely anything to cause him concern. It simply meant they would have to fight for the moment. As the woman began to land and Xaviers right foot began to move forward Xavier called upon a buildup of energy within his chest. It was the collective chaos in the town fueling his powers and allowing him to call upon more of it. The problem was that the energy would be able to choose it’s own shape, meaning it could either come out as Dreadful Flames or Dreadful Lightning. It was time to find out. [Hider=Energy Attack] Base Power Roll = 56 – This number will be take into account along side of his general power level. So it’s not a 50% of total power. But 50% of total CURRENT power. Power Appearance Roll – This will be a 1/3 roll. A 1 will be Dreadful Lightning. A 2 will be Dreadful Flames and a 3 will be straight Dread Energy.[b] The roll is a 3.[/b] [/hider] Now the two would face one another as the woman touched the ground and Xaviers right foot did as well. It could be seen now that Xaviers face was covered in considerably fewer scar tissue and his ashen grey skin was beginning to regain color. Then there were his eyes. A dark glowing red which seeped into the veins surrounding his eyes and lit them up. It was the only indication that could be found of what happened next as Xaviers lips parted. Around the two of them the surrounding light seemed to dim away as a dark red energy spilled forth from Xaviers throat. It held a physical form comparable to a thick smoke cloud and upon the rolling red surface danced several small red bolts. It shot towards the woman as she would have began to speak, intending to catch her as off guard as possible with the tactic. The cloud moved forward as quick as a whip but would hit with considerably less force or damage than the other two forms. What it lacked in striking power it made up for in tactical power. It was designed to attack a fighter at a mental level, as prolonged direct contact with the smokey substance was known to cause hallucinations. In massive amounts; even death. Xavier would hope that the tactic would be enough to create a sliver of an opening, in which he would attempt to act again. [Hider= Distancing Attempt] 20/100 Roll =84 [/hider] The air surrounding Xaviers hands and feet gave a high pitched whistle as they suddenly began to rotate. With a quick flex and a couple muscular twitches Xavier would find himself lifted into the air and placed upon the roof of a single story house to his right. This time he would choose not to run away completely, but hoped he would gain a couple of advantages here. (Basically my rolls kind of screwed me lol I would say IF you get hit by the energy than you can use your own judgement on what happens.) [hr] [center]HOUNDS [/center] [Hider= Overall Hound Post Success] Roll=69 [/hider] The screams that had once filled the perimeter of the town now began to fan inwards. Not only because the hounds had killed a good portion of the people. But also because those who did remain were currently fleeing towards the center of the city. At this rate it would be not much longer before the hounds found their master. From an unknown position in the village comes an ear splitting, blood curdling howl. It’s vibrations were hear for a full 5 seconds before it ended abruptly. It was followed by a mixture of whoops and hollers from the guards; it would seem they had managed to kill one of the monsters. Their cries of victory were short lived and soon the air was filled once again with pained screams. Hounds remaining - 19
