Bio

Alright Soooo here it is,
I'm an old man (post 30's) who has been at the RP game since I was in Middle School. Happily Married and a huge Nerd. My main interests for RP's and such are Medieval Realistic Fantasy, As in no one person wielding a massive 200 lb weapon in one hand or going way over the top with crazy 25 hit combos in the air. I like things to play out as they would normally of course with magic, magic is always fun. I also like Futuristic Space (Star Wars, Mass Effect, and almost anything involving some sort of Mech). I work a crap ton and cant really get into a real post every day but I do try. If you think you got something I might like hit me up.

After the hour of allotted time Alm gathered everyone back up and continued on their way. The day was extremely hot slowing the groups pace as Alm made everyone break regularly to drink water and get some shade if possible. But luckily by the end of the day what would turn to be the Ruins they were looking for rested on the horizon. Alm shortened the lookout shifts taking the final shift for himself that night and woke everyone well before dawn to make the final bit of the trek while it was still cool.

-=The Tomb=-

On the Dawn of the groups fifth day in the desert the Irregulars stood at the front of a ruined temple. "Looks like we made it." Alm commented before starting to make his way for the entrance. But even at this point things did not look good. There was no sign of a lookout that would of been posted by the caravan guards or any sign of a caravan at all for that matter. Alm instructed everyone to be on guard and holler if they noticed anything out of the ordinary. As they approached Alm's stance changed. "Weapons up people there was a fight recently." Alm said readying his own weapon and taking a cautious advance. It wouldn't be until the group got within 20 feet of the entrance that the rest of the group would get what put Alm on edge as a heavy scent of iron filled the air. Once reaching the opening Alm told everyone to take up positions and wait or his order before heading into the Ruins first disappearing into the blackness just beyond the door. In a few moments that felt like minutes things were silent before Alm gave the all clear for the irregulars to enter.

Walking from the sun into the darkness was a bit blinding at first as everyone's eyes had to adjust to the dimly lit main hall of the tomb. This was coupled with a wall of stench that comes from corpses left to rot. As their eyes adjusted the sight would unfold before them. Sir Frances' caravan had indeed been here and used this entryway as their camp. But now they were no more, bodies lie ripped to shreds some pinned to walls with spears and arrows and may others lie dismembered with severed limbs. It was not a pretty sight but one Alm had seen a few times in his years. But strangely enough there was no bodies of whatever attacked the group either this was a one sided fight or someone/something removed their own corpses. After everyone had entered and it was evident that they weren't going to be attacked Alm gave out his orders. "Kaeciel, you and Selova do some scouting. Don't wander off to far and keep you guard up. Iroryn and I will take up watch, and everyone else search this mess for any clues on to what is going on here." After giving out the tasks Alm quickly dug into his pockets to find a green scarf that he used to cover his nose, anything to dull the smell, before moving to a good spot he could use to pose as lookout.
With the Orc numbers dwindling the tides had turned sending the last two orcs into a frenzy. The final shielded orc facing Olivia went solely on the offensive swinging wildly with its sword as well as bashing at her with its shield. Her defenses held for a time but eventually the orc broke through. Its shield striking her head and sending her to the ground. The orc then went to follow up but was stopped as Stephan reappeared behind the orc plunging a dagger threw the Orc's throat. As the Orc dropped Stephan looked over at Olivia, she seemed to be knocked unconscious from the blow and was bleeding from the spot she was struck. He thought of making a snide comment to her but refrained carefully picking her up. "One of you with medical knowledge come with me. We need to patch her up. Also bring along the Ariel She will need attention as well." He said making his way to one of the tents which would be made into the medical tent for the moment.

Alm on the other hand had his hands full with the black orc. Unlike the others Alm wasn't able to dance around the orc's attack to find an opening. He was forced to lock blades with the beast and grapple with it. The exchange went on for some time neither able to gain the edge, that was until Olivia went down. With that Alm knew he had to pull out the stops knocking away the Orc before coating his blade with a magical layer of ice, His eyes turning blue in the process. After coating the blade Alm took a different stance. It seemed more feral and savage that his normally refined stance. The two went to cross blades again. But this time Alm blocked the blade with the back end of his weapon the staff end clashing with the Orc's blade. upon contact with Alm's weapon the orcs blade began to freeze over and was quickly shattered when Alm flipped his weapon back and the orc tried to block. His attack also took one of the Orc's hands with it. But surprisingly the Orc did not go into a rage at the loss of its hand. It jumped back surveyed the situation and knew it was in a loosing situation and turned to retreat. Alm almost went to chase the orc but let it run turning to the Irregulars. "Status report, how is everyone holding up?" he asked as one of Shion's arrows flew past hitting the running orc in it's Shoulder to the opposite side of the had Alm had cut off. "That's enough let it run. I know it will come back but we will deal with it then." Alm added as the original flairs burned out and the orc started to disappear into the darkness leaving the light of the artificial sun.

After the events of the Orc attack it took a bit for everyone to settle back in. Although not life threatening it seemed Oliva had received a concussion and wouldn't be able to move for a while. With that being said Shion and Stephan elected to stay behind in the oasis to protect her and keep a secure fall back position near the mission location. But things were quiet for the rest of the night allowing the group to rest if they were able to after the fight.

The next morning Alm gathered everyone up. "Alright so it looks like Olivia is out for a bit so I'll be taking over. That being said Shion and Stephan will be keeping this point clear so if there is any of you who want to stay here as well you are free to. Otherwise I'll give you all an hour to pack up what you would need for 5 days then we will head out. Yes I know we are only a day away from our goal but we don't know what could go wrong so pack extra. With that said I'll leave you to it." Alm said. He wasn't big on speeches but he hoped he got his point across. After concluding the meeting Alm returned to his tent to make his own preparations.
Lito was prepared for the oncoming fire instantly deploying his arm mounted ballistics shield to absorb some fire while giving him some time to line up a shot with his rail gun. With a few minor adjustments Lito fired off the round, ripping through the shoulder of the lead unit taking the entire arm off the suit and right into one of the plasma projectors. The resulting explosion of shrapnel and plasma took out two of the Battle suits and knocked the rest away from the explosion. Lito didn't waste a breath retracting the shield and pulling up his gun to unload a barrage of shells into the scattered suits. He was able to tear through the one armed suit and another lead suit before they reorganized and started to return fire. Outgunned Lito deployed his shield again and made his way to cover. Once in cover the fire didn't let up. Lito began to think how to proceed, the enemy was closing in and he didn't have many options. After a quick servery of his surroundings Lito knew what he was going to do. He quickly dodged into an abandoned building forcing the enemy troops to follow him.

It was dark in the building, but that would work in Lito's favor. After getting a fair bit into the building Lito turned the suit and waited. Another rail gun Round tore through the first suit to enter the dark building and the other two opened fire into the blackness hoping to hit Lito. But this proved useless as Lito had quickly moved after taking his shot. Lights flicked on and the suits began to search the structure splitting up in the process. After a bit of searching one of the suits cot a glimpse of Lito's armor Shield deployed in the back of the building. But before he could call it out Lito ignited his HF blade driving it through the back of the suit killing the pilot instantly. By the time the final suit realized it was alone it was to late Lito had returned to his own suit and readied his weapon unloading a lethal barrage of fire at the lone light source in the building tearing the suit to shreds.

After the whole ordeal Lito exited the building rejoining the main fight. "That's Seven suits down. Looks like this old bird still has it." He boasted over the comms before making his way back to the tank hopping on so he could focus on unloading on whatever poor sod got in his firing arc
@EvictedElement looks good ill accept him.
K I got some time I'll start today and maybe get the post out tomorrow
As soon as the Orc's suprise of the flairs wore off their front line began to charge. In this time Kaeciel's attack went largely unnoticed allowing it to kill one of the shielded orcs, as well as injure one of the two handed orcs and one of the archers. before the Archers could react and send off their own shots another took an icicle to the chest dropping instantly. While the injured one also received an arrow to its throat sent off by Shion.

Next came the artificial sun from Glyndan and his trip vines. this combination slowed down the orcs even more But this break in the charge is exactly what the Orc Shaman needed. His own grimoire fluttered open as it chanted something in Orcish. A green fog seemed to poor out of the book quickly enveloping the Orc lines as the Orcs breathed in the gas their movements changed. It was almost as if they grew becoming stronger and faster. The Orc grinned at his work.

"I'm not going to lie. I don't like you. But I hope you're a better fighter than you are a speaker." Ariel had called out to Stephan who just grinned. "My job is to make sure you all come out of this alive, not make friends." He said back as he seemed to disappear from sight sliding into the shadows. Now the Shaman's staff began to glow as it started to cast another spell. this spell was cut shot though as Eris and her magic snuffed the shaman out with little issue.

With their numbers dwindling the strengthened orcs pushed forward. The final Archer let loose an arrow aimed at Glyndan thinking picking the mage as a prime target. It was now that Alm and Olivia wold meet their front lines. Olivia was able to pull in three of the shielded Orcs and gain their attention stopping their advance while Alm pulled in some more of their front line. The first to reach him was a Orc with a two handed sword. Its Sword came down hard, but Alm almost seemed to dance out of the way of its blade. With one fluid spinning motion Alm was able to dodge the blade and strike back bringing a diagonal slash from the Orc's waist to its shoulder nearly cleaving the orc in two. A second orc charged this one with a club. But it was stopped dead in its tracks as Alm just tilted his head allowing one of Shion's arrows to fly past and strike the orc between the eyes.

The third Orc to approach Alm was a Axe and Shield orc and although it approached a bit more cautiously Alm still was able to make a counter strike when the Orc finally came forward lobbing the creature's head while once again twirling out of the striking arc of the orc. Finally he stepped up the Black Orc made its way toward Alm. Alm smiled, "Guess warm up is over. Time to get serious." He said while readying himself dropping into a proper fighting stance. And now with the front line tied up the remaining Orcs rushed past to attack the second line of Irregulars. An Orc with a Sword scoped up the club of its fallen comrade and charged at Iroryn while one with a two handed maul made its way at Kaeciel and the final Orc with a two handed Axe making its way for Shion.
