Morag paused his swings as a new voice joined in. The Mercenary boss turned his head to glare at Voss with his one eye, and then turned to look at the lock again. Inside the cell, Romilda had blinked at the realization of whom she heard, turning to look as best she could in Voss’s direction, his exact position slightly behind walls from her current viewpoint. Morag looked back and forth between the lock and Voss a couple of times…

‘So, I guess instead of making all this racket you’d prefer me to grab you and make you dispel this lock for me, eh? Fine, I can do that too!’ Morag grinned under his mask as he darted off from the cell. However, instead of doing the sensible, Morag grabbed the foot of the downed thief and lifted him through sheer strength, the relatively lightweight Thief swinging into the air, before Morag turned in Voss’ direction and dashed. Mid-way, however, he swung the Thief and threw the smaller human at Voss, with remarkable accuracy. Clearly, this man’s strength and skill was his best attributes.

Intending on taking advantage of the distraction of his thrown Thief, Morag would come running after the improvised ranged attack to follow it up with the diagonal slice of a sword, if all went as Morag planned. Watching the Mercenary boss’s movements it would become clear that this wasn’t a regular soldier Voss had just so nicely decided to face on his own. How would he counter?

Romilda moved a few steps so she could look out through the window, looking to see how Voss was doing.




Meanwhile.

Isolde barged ahead, Kergin flying past the retreating Mercenary as they barrelled through the corridor ahead of the others. As Kergin blew past, the Mercenary stumbled, his escape route now filled with hostile Wyvern, and upon hearing Reina’s footsteps approaching from behind he swore under his breath and spun to cut at her with his sword.

Except, he was utterly outmatched as three blows came into one at him, with Reina’s sword stabbing into him, Marwood’s lance running him through, and Aldo’s dark magic rising from the floor as shadows to strike through him from below. The man dropped his sword and promptly fell.

‘What is it, my lady?’ Aldo asked Reina from behind, frowning at her. Seems they weren’t so coordinated he knew what she was shouting about, but he had added his attack regardless. He then kept quiet at Marwood said his part to Reina.

Titania followed close behind, nobody yet having been hurt for her to potentially heal.

@Rune_Alchemist

Further along the corridor, Isolde was heading for the Fighter in the lines back there.

Now, unfortunately, her opponents didn’t exactly just stand there waiting for it when they saw a Wyvern come flying towards them. The Mercenary to the left of the Fighter Isolde was heading for stepped in, ready to assist his companion. Isolde suddenly found herself facing both, the Mercenary attacking at her side with his sword while the Fighter prepared to meet her head-on. The axe-wielding enemy struck back against Isolde, who managed to block the strike with her Halberd while Kergin bit into the Fighter’s shoulder… but the Fighter refused to fall, holding the Wyvern in place as the Mercenary stepped in and cut swiped upwards with his sword, hitting Kergin’s and possibly Isolde's side. Thanks to a Wyvern Rider’s naturally decent defense and a relatively weak Mercenary (lower level) it didn’t do any dramatic damage, but regardless, that should hurt a bit. She now had two enemies focused on her, and somewhat of a need for a healing staff, potentially.

If she remained, of course, both would team up to avoid taking more damage and try to their opponent down, even if they were not as powerful as the Wyvern Rider. Isolde could probably win, the Fighter was already very hurt from Kergin’s bite, but these weren’t exactly ideal circumstances.

The enemy Soldier jumped past the Mercenary, protecting his flank and looking further into the corridor at the rest of the group, intending to keep them from interfering if possible. Fairly basic combat formation here, seeking to bar their progress.

@Apollosarcher Should I assume you just ride along?
@Rune_Alchemist Alright. Nicely posted. *goes and checks movesets and type-matchups and whatnot* ... Huh. Okay.

Alright. @Pirouette, if you would, post your first commands. Given that Del starts out with Harden we can assume Eep's also going to get the time for the equivalent of two moves... potentially, depending on the actions, as we can keep in mind that Del is way faster than Eep. XD

Anyways, Pirouette post, then it's my turn to figure out what goes on, heh.
@Pirouette Yupp. Nicely posted. Eep's up first, then. I'll assume he went forth a bit, if you're doing it right here? Heh, I'll just read up on all where you are and write a description of the area next time I post, which isn't really any of you need to wait for, I'll just do it eventually, heh.

@Joshua Tamashii Oh. He... he grabbed for her. Whelp. Okay. Um. Lesse now.

Nicely posted. Hah.
@Pirouette I'm happy to see you post. Though, that particular Mercenary you're currently targeting is the one Marwood attacked, he's currently fleeing back to his companions if possible. Logic dictates he'd get there before you do, as he ran from Marwood before you. The map doesn't entirely convey that. Hm, should I add arrows if they're, like, heading in some direction for greater clarity? Might clutter the visuals, though. Hm. Oh, well. Nicely posted. You don't need to edit, I have something in mind if it remains like this, heh.

Sheila Hopkins

Villain’s Meeting
Visible



So, why was nobody introducing themselves? Were they just supposed to automatically know everyone else in the villain community? That said, nobody had asked her to introduce herself, either. Was everyone working under the same shroud of ignorance to start with, and just had to work their way to knowing who everyone was? Sheila felt she had a long way to climb… Oh, there was someone she knew! … The guy she thwarted trying to take over the Rockers. Hopefully, he had trouble connecting “unknown cape”, “Rockers” and “that attack”, hah…

A very large man in armour, no idea who he was, declared the meeting open. Oh, it was time to announce that they wanted to bring the Community down? Sheila wanted to say that the Rockers would support such an endeavour, except she had no time to gather courage and people kept talking. Oh, that relatively handsome young man in the goggles and with some green hair said they should only raise their voices if they were against the proposal. That sounded extremely agreeable to Sheila, meant she didn’t need to say a thing. Just keeping quiet.

The army-like man over there clarified that he was the field leader of the Jacks. A useful distinction. She kept it in mind. People she actually kind of knew talked, she knew of Sabotage and Purge, she had found a little bit on Retcon’s existence. It seemed to be going relatively well, until Sabotage said she wanted assurance everyone had her back. As a kinda spy even though she fully intended to fight the Community, this sent a surge of fear through Sheila… which basically meant she almost flinched when someone showed up saying he could grant that assurance.

What? Did he have a power that could ascertain that those around had honest intentions? Could he detect spies in their number? What kind of assurance could he provide? Sheila’s mind raced through multiple worst-case scenarios that would mean the end of her time here at the meeting and a hasty attempted escape that probably would go terribly given all the known and unknown powers that’d work together to stop her. Still, the man had not explained yet, so she didn’t act and just sat as the conversation continued, and…

And the man proclaimed he was selling superpowers. Those vials?

That sounded impossible. You could now give powers through vials? That sounded like dumb fiction or a scam to Sheila’s well-researched cape-mind. Yet here he was, proclaiming so with such confidence. If this was true… then where did they come from? If there was a cape with a power that produced these vials that could give others powers, it was imperative that this cape not be working with villains, which clearly didn’t seem to be the case. A mystery presented itself, one Sheila felt an urge to pursue and eliminate before it could become a threat to her.

It would be great if she could prevent these vials from ending up in villainous hands… except staying alive was more important. She couldn’t risk herself for it. Six new villainous capes was terrible news, but ultimately Sheila didn’t feel it was enough to risk everything for. The source was far, far more worrying. … Not that Sheila dared to ask, of course. Other people were going to ask what she wanted to hear, anyway. She kept still, awaiting more conversation.

Huh. That person was just replaced by someone else. Sheila had no idea what that entailed, but she seemed to just keep going, it wasn’t as if Sheila could ask right now. Just a little something that happens sometimes in the cape-world, she supposed.

To everyone else, Creep simply sat still in her place by one table, unmoving except for turning her head a little when this “Broker” showed the vials.
@Dusksong So, uh. Having trouble replying or so? Do you need any help with anything?

@Pirouette I was kind of thinking that I didn't have much to write so you could reply to Rune directly. Was that wrong? Should I write something?
@Eklispe I came back online when I realized, you had said that. My apologies, I momentarily forgot. You can still wait if you like, but if it's to free you while you're travelling then I completely understand. Do what you feel is best for you. :)

Edit: And nicely posted. Contains all I needed, completely reasonable reaction, at a quick pace after the mention. At moments like this it really doesn't need to be longer. I do like thinking this roleplay is in advanced because it's advanced for the GM, haha.
@Eisenhorn That is a very nice post, giving us quite an understanding of what has been going on in Voss's life lately and his current actions. Nicely posted. Sorry I took some time to respond, I really wanted to comment on more than one post at a time.

@Rune_Alchemist Yupp, the class-names are correct, I'm happy you made that effort. Nicely posted. Heh, charging straight in, eh? Alright. Let's see where that leads.

@Eklispe@Apollosarcher@Pirouette So, it's been a while, now. How are you doing? When do you believe you can post? I'd very much like to know.
