Forest of Secrets (Reborn) [OPEN]

So, that thing in Ace's old cell isn't going away. Its kinda growing and infesting general ventilation unless stopped.

Sleeve Ace: Shrubotth
Class: Summoned Monster
Subtype: Plant (Vulnerable to fire and slash damage. Hardy and resistant to light-based energy)
At the cost of roughly 30-60-90% of Luciel's energy, he bestows savage sentience to a mass of plant material. Once the process is complete, Luciel lacks any control over the summon as it exists merely to grow, consume, and continue to grow.
(Stage 1)30%: Standard beast which grows to take up as much space as possible, perishes over the course of an hour.
(Stage 2)60%: Aggressive beast which grows slowly and defensively with means to attack and consume the unwary. Perishes over 3 hours
(Stage 3)90%: Malicious beast which grows in layers, expanding from within to protect its core. Meanwhile, it will grow to seek out consumable material which it employs poisons and traps to subdue. Its aim is survival and destruction. Perishes over 9-12 hours unless burnt down to its core. For very good reasons, Luciel never uses this stage.

Its intended as an npc which the humans can control/fight, although I can control its actions if need be. Point is, you know that 'something' that you wanted to have happen, Snow? Stage 1

So, I only had 3 powers. I figured it'd be appropriate for a person with control over plants to have access to a small list of "summons". In a real-world setting, these are very high profile and impractical for doing much more than creating deadly distractions.
That and I want a horror scene with a big ol' Jack head barreling down a hall to bowl over a squad of guards.

Make it an old timey family portrait where everyone stands in a line and looks super uninterested but is in their Sunday best.

Make Apollo a tiny chibi character that's spewing lasers from every orifice while looking super pissed off.

Edit in a happy hamburger slowly panning from right to left across the picture.

Don't do any of this.

@Hawlin imma draw Luciel with a tiny top hat instead of a black/dark purple rose is that ok? ^^ i'm not good at flowers especially roses ^^;

@Ace of flames01

I love tiny tophats. Yes, please.
:o

Also, I edited my post to be a bit more inclusive.

Sorry Aby, I was typing it up on my phone while I was away >_<

Also yay, antagonists. Or protagonists? I guess it depends on how you look at it.

EDIT: EDITING.
Edit: Post fixed for relevance.

Forest of Secrets (Reborn) [OPEN]

Luciel stumbled his way through the jungle he was making, mostly running on adrenaline to carry himself at enough speed to stay just out of reach of the Humans' death-laser contraption. The growing light from the direction of the tower became too much to bear, making it difficult to avoid almost being knocked to the ground by the concussing blast from one of the orbs. The vines helped him stay standing and the ringing in his ears would eventually subside, but for a few moments they were exposed. Conveniently, the machine seemed to backfire, going up in flames and forcing the assisting gunmen to retreat. He was thankful that the girl in his arms was so light, as he would have otherwise dropped her or have been unable to stand in time to sustain just less than a layer of his coat being blown off in a screeching torrent of writhing cinders.

They barreled into the treeline, Luciel doing his best to shield the girl from whipping branches and shrubs before he eventually lost his footing and toppled over. His insistence on getting the job done ended with being used as a crash pad for the girl.
Collapsing in a tiny clearing, he groaned as his hands went to check himself for lasting damage, content with taking a second to rest. This was broken, however, by the small figure of a boy hoisting the two up and carrying them off, only to set them down somewhere else.
Again, Luciel was loathe to deny help. He set the girl on the ground, sitting next to her and catching his breath while checking the smoldering damage to his attire, once again. Leaving it how it was, for the moment, he extended a hand to shake. "Luciel Lucerne...thank you" he said, sincerely grateful for the extraction. The fact that he was saved by a child put him off, slightly. Truth was, there really wasn't a next move, as far as he knew. The damage was done and the vines from his parting gift were certain to disrupt vent control and upset the order for however long it took for it all to die or be removed. "I'm not sure, heh" he said in between breaths, "...For now, I am goink to enjoy being in one piece, and havink somezhing to show for it" Luciel continued, lifting one of Ace's arms and letting it drop, testing her consciousness.

Luciel snapped back to his senses as he was called to by a figure in the distance. Blinking, he reacted by stuffing the rest of the bag of pumpkin seeds in his mouth, crunching down as a trail of black mist eased from the corners of his mouth. 'I-sure, why not' he thought, leaving a little surprise for the cleanup team as he spat the mass of sizzling seed pulp into the cell before charging out into the open air. He crossed himself to the best of his ability while carrying Ace, clumsily and indiscriminately tearing into three other backs and scattering them in front of himself as he ran.
The ground twisted and tore at itself as bolts of corn stalks formed abnormally tall and obscuring rows, accented with vines which coiled and clawed at the air in all directions. Truly, the only way to discern where there were was by this wave of violent flora which made a b-line away from the prison.

In the meantime, the hole in the wall belched forth torrents of pumpkin guts and vines as the room was quickly filled with the same mess that only 5 seeds had taken out a wall. Two dozen, on the other hand...

Bummer, I was hoping to gas some human pigdogs.

Whose post is it?

EDIT: brb 15 minutes.

Forest of Secrets (Reborn) [OPEN]

Boy would command's face be red if the vents happened to be blocked and the gas goes somewhere else...like R&D department, barracks...a different cell block. You get the idea.

Luciel can't see through plant's perspective, but cutting off air to the room and sending vines to knock down vent barriers would be one hell of a distraction. Idk what kind of gas it is, though, probably the deadly kind.
I mean, heh, as long as we're metagaming about knowing the girl is a guy from almost half a mile away, I may as well know about the gas.
To reason it: Luciel had broken out, before. The gas trick seems like a thing that would have been tried.

Forest of Secrets (Reborn) [OPEN]

Personally, I'm waiting for everyone to get a turn and possibly make a move to change the rather nasty looking course my Hex is going on.

@ArenaSnow

Not too sure how to help you, there >_<;
Any suggestions?

Forest of Secrets (Reborn) [OPEN]

He took a hesitant step back as Ace stalked her cell, unsure if he'd broken into a good enough cell since the girl seemed quite damaged. It couldn't be helped, "Associating yourself vith animals vill eventually lower you to their level..." Luciel muttered in his rough English, not caring to suppress his accent while talking to himself...aaaand because the only person in the room worth talking to had collapsed.
"Ouf...what a mess" Luciel sighed, quickly scooping her up in his arms. Off in the distance of the complex, alarms were blaring. It was an oversight, the events being a formidable distraction from what he had expected. Hesitantly, he took a few steps around the room as if forgetting what he was doing before shaking his head.

Old ghosts, new tomb.

And now the hard part, scrambling security and an expanse of open ground ripe for being gunned down in. Luciel had a faint hope that his unseen assistant was still around, although this did nothing to shake the feeling that his plan had been woefully flawed from the beginning. It had, after all, relied on whomever he broke out to be able to help him escape, as well.
Panic began to set in as he slowly came to terms with just how trapped they were.
Luciel shifted her weight to feel at the small pouches of seeds in his pockets. It wasn't often that he overexerted himself to the point of exhaustion, but the thought of summoning a small forest for cover seemed like a feat which could bring it to question. Cover wasn't worth a dime if he couldn't use it, and having to carry someone at the same time?
