Doc Doctor

RPGuild Ranking Headquarters!

@SkallagrimWe need you to decide whose final move takes priority, we are pretty much finished. Read the last four I.C posts to get an idea of what's going on.

Ink and Blood (Empty Armor vs. Doc Doctor)

Alright.

Ink and Blood (Empty Armor vs. Doc Doctor)

The cruel Zande's attack had been unleashed with such timing as to disallow Tanya reach the knife in the first place. His physical capabilities were considerably above the human norm, perhaps even bordering on crossing into the supernatural. Certainly he had felled many supernatural enemies first hand. A quickly thrown axe in the middle of a jump was scarcely a feat he would be troubled with. Having not seen the dreadful coming of Jancro, Tanya would have little way of making accomodation for it by trying to move faster in response. Assuming this were to be so, then the cannibal would land and whirl about, bringing Hot Steppa up and back down again to separate the woman's head from her body. Of course, should she die, she probably would live on in some other ridiculous reality where there existed such unlikely morons as a futuristic knight and a superhuman barbarian getting into a fight over a fish.

Yami and Doc vs Cruallassar and Lunar

@CruallassarI getcha, and for what it's worth it barely got out of the way in time. If your archer was within a hundred yards and fired a normal arrow, it would be much more difficult to avoid. Shashous can only detect subsonic attacks with sonar, which gives it a normal reaction time of half the speed of sound. Without a huge pressure gradient to reach its ears before the sound does, it can't foresee fast, close ranged shots too well.

Oh, and even with wings that are considerably tougher than body armor, I didn't picture it to be plausible to survive even a glancing blow from something moving at half the speed of a railgun. I figured it had enough power to put a hole through the wing and then sever the ole' spinal column to boot.

Yami and Doc vs Cruallassar and Lunar

@CruallassarIt had detected the air pressure from hundreds to thousands of feet away and preemptively dodged. My character's specialty is super senses, afterall. He can't predict the trajectory of close range attacks in slow motion like in the Matrix though. I know that mach three is fast, lots of feet, calculations aplenty. Just know that though the energy from the dynamic pressure may be most noticeable from ten feet away, it can still be detected from much farther. It just takes more, shall we say, finely tuned instruments. Your character can fire supersonic arrows, and mine in all fairness is decent at not getting one hit killed by them.

As for its exact speed, let's just say it is fast enough to be able to stand a good chance against another pure melee character in a contest of practical skill.

Knights of The Dawn Covenant: The Longest Winter

Gonad dropped one of the books on the ground and began pissing on it. All this walking irritated the bladder. He glared up at the ceiling and began telling the other knights the Legend of the Sky Yak.

Hrah... Many seasons ago, no life on world there was... Barren was sky, black and empty! But then, gruh, came potent Sky Yak! Fertile she was, and gave birth to many yaks! But too far was drop, so died many did... Piled high were infant yaks, bodies that reached heavens! Soon high enough were dead yaks that live yaks could land safely, bwuh. Became planet did bodies of dead yaks, and living yaks did go into seas and sky to become birds and fishies! Soon did yaks learn to walk on two legs! Became men they did! Such be truth from lips of Gonad. Know such and grow mighty!

Yami and Doc vs Cruallassar and Lunar

Shashous-Throth was undoubtedly a creature of myth, but it could hardly be classified among the magical and the fey. It's physical and mental capabilities were what set it apart from paltry dragons and the like. Especially its senses. It had known the location of the ranger and the swordsman since before they had stepped foot in the forest. It could smell a victim on the other side of a continent, scenting and identifying molecules less than a few parts per trillion in the breeze. But that wouldn't help it avoid something that moved faster than sound. What would help it do that were its ears. A common bat could detect sound waves bouncing off of a fly at forty paces. To say that the caliber of the Magna Pater's hearing could put any earthly bat to shame would be a gross understatement. The air pressure of the sonic boom reached the monster before the arrow, kicking its survival instincts into overdrive. Something very big or very fast was heading right for it. It didn't even need to think about dodging. The movement came automatically.

The arrow phased through where Shashous-Throth had been and passed on through several dozen trees, boring a clean, smoking hole in each one. The monster had moved like a greased adder, surging forwards with such force that its claws had gouged a pair of trenches in the rocky ground. Its cover was obviously blown, but its intent remained the same. It would deal with the closer threat before meeting the further one. The glistening horror rushed upon the swordsman, halting several feet away before rising up to its full height, much like how the serpentine Medusa may stand upon the base of her tail. Six feet. Seven feet. Eight feet tall. It's stalky arms spread wide, soggy, shaking wings splaying out in an all-encompassing embrace. It had been already large when it kept tucked in and low to the ground. Its true size was gigantic. It cared little about being shot at again. It needed only to witness a technique once to learn how to deal with it, and it had never before been harmed by an attack that it had seen already. It had lived for over a thousand years, and it forgot nothing.

Arena Chat Thread

Oi, so the tournament will be on this forum somewhere where a lazy bastard like me can easily find it right?

Yami and Doc vs Cruallassar and Lunar

It began moving in the direction of James, but slower this time. Silently. Less than fifty yards from him and closing in...
It would pause ahead of the man and just off to the left, huddling against the ground. He might not notice the dark lump several yards away, and even if he did it could easily pass for a moss-slimed rock. It was an ambush predator. It intended to wait until the human passed before taking him.

Ghosts in the Darkness (Ruby Vs. Shashous-Throth)

As soon as Ruby had released it from the headlock, the monster changed tactics. It was slippery, yes, but the paw pinning the thief's torso to the bone-littered ground was adorned with a set of gruesome claws, the longest of which was a full eight inches long and lethally sharp. The kick would hit it in the ribs, doing only about as much damage as one would expect an unarmed blow to a wild beast would do. Though it wouldn't give it pause, a bruise would later well up on the creature's flank. That would be the first bruise someone had inflicted upon it without a weapon in over four centuries. Upon feeling the squirming organism trying to squeeze out from its grasp, Shashous-Throth would unceremoniously draw back its left arm, intending to unzip her intestines with that extra-long claw. It would be no easy feat to stop the horror from slicing her open from diaphragm to pelvis, especially with it manipulating her positioning with that damnable tail. Even a layer of body armor fabric would be sheared apart by the skull-sharpened claw of Shashous-Throth. The inhuman laughter seething out of its dripping mouth echoed into the depths of the seemingly endless cavern, rebounding off of the walls and mingling with the countless variations to form a maddening crescendo of choking, unearthly howls.

If Ruby still tried to use the bo staff, the Magna Pater would once again extend its right arm to try and take away the girl's offense, this time trying to slash the crook of her left arm to sever the tendons. It was no fast attack, but deliberate and measured to make it exceedingly difficult for her to defend.
