(Base roll bonus = 15 | All rolls account this already) (Initial Awareness Roll 59/100) - Shit :punch lol As the screams filled the air Xavier couldn't fight the chuckle that rumbled from within his chest. As panic began to spread amongst the crowd it would serve to trickle charge Xaviers power. Xaviers righ foot moved to take a step towards the crowd for instigation, when he suddenly heard abnormal metallic scuffs behind him. (Defensive Maneuver Roll = 54) :golfclap For a brief moment the cocky smirk on Xaviers lips began to falter to a grimace. The woman responsible for the noise was already upon him and beginning to lash out. It was all Xavier could do to shuffle a step forward before the all too familiar bitter sting of a razors edge tore through his hip. In reaction to this Xavier spun to his right, allowing a clean slice an inch deep and around 3 inches long at his right hip. What came out of the wound was not like any natural blood, but much thicker and a color as black as onyx. The pain of this wound barely registered to Xavier as he spun upon his right foot. Focusing more on what he would do instead of what had been done. On the ground to his right was the twitching body of the man he had just wounded. The spark of an idea lit within Xaviers mind and caused his legs to buckle, putting the mans body within reaching distance. With quick grasps Xaviers left hand grabbed the waistline of the mans pants while his right grabbed the hem of his shirt. With a heave Xavier extended his legs to raise his body, pulling the mans body along at the last possible moment. With graceful footing Xavier both spun on his ankles and moved away from the woman's current attack zone. All with the mans body in his powerful grip. (Execution Success Rate Roll = 70) :toot A thick rivulet of black blood oozed from his wound as his body torqued, allowing him to heave the mans body with great force at the woman. While it was headed directly for the woman's abdomen, there was a fair chance she could still avoid it. The outcome made no difference to Xavier. After the throw there was only a small amount of force left within his body and it allowed Xavier to continue his spin to point away from the woman. As Xavier moved away from the scene he moved faster than one would expect for a man of his size, already upon the crowd before they had the chance to react. With folded arms Xavier braced himself for the impact he had chosen; a man of averge build watching from the sidelines. The mans face twisted into a horrific scream for a moment before Xaviers arms met his and forced the air from his lungs. Xavier extended his arms and stopped for only a moment, knocking all sense from the man and throwing him limp as a ragdoll into the crowd. As the man went flying and caused more of the crowd to fall to the ground Xavier moved once again. With what seemed to be delicate but quick steps Xavier leapt through the crowd, various wet crunches sounding off with each step. It was the heads of the 6 different people that he was leaping upon; Shattering their skulls like clay pots under the immense force of his body. The crowd had barely begun their horrified screams at what transpired as Xavier attempted to disappear once again. Crossing the street and entering the alleyway on the other side. Before he entered he cast a look to the street, not stopping to gaze but taking a snipet of the moment to rationalize as he moved. This look would allow any gazing his way to see that his eyes were now aglow with a strange dark red energy. Once in the alleyway Xavier began to hoof it down the cobblestone, no longer utilizing the same speed as before. To do so at this moment for an extended amount of time would be draining. This would need to be drug out just a little more to put things on an even playing field... [hr] [Center]HOUNDS [/center] It was as Xavier dove into the alleyway that the first of the hounds descended on the village. From the northern and western parts of town came the first screams as townsfolk were gouged and gored. They attacked in two groups of 10 to allow them to properly overpower the already thin guard at the gates. From there they moved into the village, slaughtering the stragglers of those who currently fled inward.
