The War of the Three

So, who wants to place bets on which character gets captured by the Demons in the next battle? They have a streak to continue after all.

God's Shattering [Concluded]

Alex thought he had done well so far, managing to avoid the guards closing in while they were distracted chasing after the twins and Tori. Unfortunate that the latter had gotten wrapped up in all of this, but with how she had treated him over the duration of the trip he didn't feel too bad about it. Besides she'd be fine, probably. Well, assuming she didn't phase out of existence like a ghost again as she had done previously.

Yet as he ran he found himself distracted, the Relic he had managed to bring along shaking and seemingly determined to leap out of his pocket, as if the thing itself was angry with his decision. A quick glance showed that it was flashing back in the direction of the Cathedral, but even so he wasn't about to listen to a rock. If it didn't like it then it should have gone with Tori while it had the chance.

"Geez," he grumbled, glancing down at the Relic that he held at the same time. "Apologies for not heading in towards the place where apparently every soldier in the Imperium is heading." Sure, he was a daring thief and what have you, but that didn't mean he was a full on idiot. the only way he was going to get anything out of that adventure back at the temple was if he managed to get away and not be arrested. And so far he seemed to be doing a pretty good job at that.

His muscles worked as he finally let out the energy, exulting in the adrenaline rush of his flight for safety. He didn't know what was up with his Relic, but he was not going to let it stop him from doing what he wanted. "Should save myself the trouble and just drop you off in a thrift shop somewhere." Not that he would do that, even if it was very tempting. One way or another, he wanted to get something out of this.

The War of the Three

Yeah, Lucius is just gonna handle Endian for the foreseeable future. He'll be able to handle her better than I could, after I got distracted by the visions of the cool things she could do only to be distracted by my own ineptitude. And now I just can't find this mindset that you guys seem to have of her being an interesting character anymore.

Oh well, we'll see if Tatiana works out I guess

The War of the Three

@Flamelord Treat the mooks as your attacks instead of as NPCs you have to spend an action ordering. Pretend that they're Victoire's wolves/bats only instead of summoned out of her ass, you bring your toys with you.

@The 42nd Gecko

......

Just more evidence that I shouldn't be the one in charge. It never even crossed my mind that I could do that, even when other characters were doing it.

The War of the Three

@Flamelord I think that miscommunication was the primary problem. You wanted to be a commander, and everyone else was treating minions as attacks at best, nothing at worst. However, if you were personally leading a squad, that would be a compromise between your vision of a commander, and the otherwise hero-centric design of the thread.

However, if switching charries is what you wanna do, best of luck!

@The 42nd Gecko

The problem is that while she could lead around some NPCs, it wouldn't really benefit the Machina that much. With a cap on the amount of actions one can take in a post, controlling a squad of NPCs basically halves the amount of things Endian can do in a single post for negligible benefit, since NPCs are still mooks to be wiped out with ease.

The War of the Three

@Flamelord Maybe upgrade her and give her some direct weapons? Or combat drones? She could be a fun fighter on the front lines commanding swarms of combat drones.

@The 42nd Gecko

This would be useful, if Endian got to fight anyone ever. At this point for all my desires out of character she has been misapplied and useless in pretty much every engagement. Especially for the claim of being a commander. At least with Tatiana I can satisfy myself shooting things.

The War of the Three

@Mega Birb While I appreciate it, I'm pushing Endian to the backseat, at least for this battle, probably permanently. Apologies.

The War of the Three

Oh? And who is out that feeds their batteries? Children these days are so ungrateful. At least Eos has her beloved "benefactor", you can keep on being unruly children all you want just don't come crying to mommy when you lose another battle.

@KoL

If they're protesting they can't win lose the next battle, because that would imply they were fighting in the first pace. :V

The War of the Three

Talking about this, where are the Machina players? I thought you guys had a mission to do, am I wrong?

@KoL

The Machina are protesting the War because they are obviously serving a puppet who doesn't deserve to be on the throne of leadership. That's all

Multiverse Rising: Reborn

I didn't actually think the Sangraal would work, but the bluff is half the fun. I just wanted to imagine that for once I was being faced with a problem in this RP where the only solution wasn't a variant of 'throw bodies at the problem' or 'apply nuke directly to forehead, repeat step 1.'
