Somewhat Generic Fantasy-Setting Adventuring RP with extensive setting...?

Forum: Advanced Interest Checks
If you're still looking for more I'd be interested in joining. Always a fan of the generic fantasy setting (plus always keen to see the ways people come up with different magic systems)
As LL thunderclaps echoed through the building indicating team 1's progress, Nergal did he best to ignore them and focus on his teams task, glad that they didn't need to wprry about stealth given the tactics some of them were employing. However as the fire system started and the entire lobby became a very soddem area, Nergal glared at Mako figuring he must have been the one to pull the alarm. The sprinklers would do a fine job of ruining any airborne toxins he could create, destroying most of his plans and not to mention being soaked was rather unpleasant. Still as Mako showed off his powers, the action made some sense, the fool just needed to check with the rest of the team first.
"Well given you've volunteered to be the centre of attention Mako, I'll take one of the flanks and pick them off while they're distracted" Nergal ingormed those still in the lobby, taking one flank by the door while Maverick made for the other flank.
As the incoming strike team burst thrpugh the front door, Nergal took note that this group seemed much better equip than regular security, perhaps a rapid response unit? Dismissing those thoughs for the moment he focused on the situation, the ice wall had stalled their progress and Maverick had made their move, meaning the rest of them would have to act fast. With the guards attention focused on the other flank, Nergal quickly moved in while they were all distracted
Unfortunately, the soaked lobby floor removed the chance of getting into melee range completely unnoticed, Nergal swearing under his breath as the guard he was reaching began to turn around, alerted by the splashing. Taking note of Maverick's idea, he quickly grappled the guard, one hand wrestling the weapon so it couldn't get a clear shot and the other grabbing his opponents face, quickly releasing a paralysis toxin in their face as they struggled against him.
The sounds alerted the rest of the group, half focusing on Maverick while the other half turned on Nergal , who had managed to wrestle his guatd into a shielding position just in time, the two of them having the guards complete attention leaving them vulnerable to the rest of the team

Quick question to those working on the group post, should I join in that one or just do my own response? Also sorry for my delay in replying, jet lag was much worse than I expected
@Eyeruption
Eh, I think there will be some harsh words about planning with Mako but this kind of thing is pretty typical for groups of villains, especially when no ones really done bank robberies such as this before or know the limitations on other peoples powers. I'm sure at some point Nergal is gonna have some friendly fire incidents with his poisons due to not considering the impact on others

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, got an overseas flight tomorrow so I'll be slack in posting for the next day or two.

I think that happens to plenty of people...myself included. I don't see anything wrong with it though, I prefer having a bit extra to read then not enough.
Also I know it's been mentioned we can be graphic but I think I'll avoid directly describing any of Nergal's handiwork, that kind of stuff gets rather messy

Nergal paid attention as the others explained their run-in with heroes, having only heard of the big names that often got plastered in the paper it was good to know that not every caped crusader they ran into would be as problematic as those. Metallia’s explanation was somewhat surprising, Nergal would not have picked her to have had such experience but the way she talked indicated she had had a number of run ins. It was a stark contrast to the rest of the group who seemed to hardly react to the thought of heroes. Phone freak seemed to provide some level headed-information to add to what he heard from Metallia but Dianna and Love Light seemed to find them unconcerning. Nodding at the group he replied ”Huh, that was more information than I expected, guess you’ve all got more experience than I thought” he replied before meeting Love Light’s gaze to answer his question, his face adopting a cruel grin ”Don’t you worry about what I can handle, I crossed that line long ago. You’d be amazed at how much simpler small scale jobs become when someone can’t scream through a melting jaw and vocal cords. Still hopefully the presence has kind of plan for keeping heroes away from this, can’t say I’m keen to have complications”.
Taking in all the information everyone provided, Nergal re-evaluated his opinion of the group, though some of them still seemed crazier than he would like, he was getting the picture they could all hold their own in whatever situations came up today. His thoughts were momentarily interrupted as Maria introduced themselves to the group, given the fact there was a chance he was going to be shot at today having some kind of medical support was a welcome thought. Nodding in greeting he added to the others statements ”Welcome to the group, and get used to being kept in the dark, our employer doesn’t seem to like us knowing what we’re doing” he replied with a hint of sarcasm.

As the team drew close to the bank, Nergal paused to listen to the Presence as they provided an update to the plan. Once he heard it, he vision almost went red in anger, sharing the sentiment Phone Freak was voicing. ‘THIS was their master plan? A frontal assault on the bank vault? What in the hell was the Presence-’. His thoughts were cut off as the aftershock of the explosion rocked past the ground, his mind pausing for a moment before his instincts kicked in as the rest of the group sprung into action, there would be time for complaining later.
Arriving just after the initial members breached the entrance, Nergal quickly slid to the side following the wall, it seemed the rest of the group had the main entrance secured and as Sawbones correctly noted they needed to sweep the rest of the floor ”Already checking out the left side” Nergal called out before opening a door into the hallway and stepped through, running straight into a confused security guard. The guard hesitated for a moment before raising his gun, obviously uncertain if he would be able to bring himself to use the weapon. Nergal had no such concerns, the guards hesitation allowing him to strike first, one hand striking the man’s neck and the other seizing his weapon hand, twisting the gun away from a firing position.
Instinctively, he begun the chemical reaction in his hands, the guards eyes going wide in pain and horror as the smell of burning flesh began to seep from under Nergal’s grip. Grinning Nergal pushed his hands harder against the main, the guard begin to panic as Nergal could feel warmth against his palms now, before he paused and frowned. Maverick’s plea echoed in his mind, resolve wavering for a moment as he considered if he really did need to kill this one. Shaking his head he gazed at the guard and grinned sadistically ”Hmm, she did say not kill everyone... but unfortunately for you, she didn’t say to not to kill anyone” he told the man, enjoying the look of horror that spread across his face before pressing his hands deeper into the existing wounds, focusing his energies to make this quick.
The guard fired off two bullets in panic before the tendons in his hand failed, the firearm and remnants of the limb splattering to the floor, quickly followed by the man’s slumped body. Glancing at his hands Nergal sighed as he noticed they were covered in red now, he really needed to find a cleaner way to do this at some point. Returning to the task at hand, he quickly checked the other rooms of this corridor, but it seemed to mostly be office space that had already been evacuated after the bomb, no doubt the guard had helped all the civilians evacuate before coming back to assess the situation. Returning to the main room Nergal called out to the group as he walked in ”That sides clear, just a bunch of empty offices now" he explained as he glanced around the lobby, it seemed if they were going to make a stand here they would need some quick planning on the best way to do it

Handing the injection to Jackel he smiled ”If you’re willing to try it go ahead, but I won’t promise there won’t be any side effects, though I’m sure someone like you can handle them”. Nergal explained, interested to see just how well the toxins would work, having only used his powers for killing people it was a new path to use them in more of an assistance way.

After they reached the city, Nergal was somewhat annoyed at the mission update ”You think information like this could have been given while we were flying in” He muttered to the group “I wonder if they’re leaving us in the dark on purpose, they don’t care enough to tell us in advance or if they are trying to keep information hidden from someone else”. None of the options were really an appealing answer, either the Presence was treating them like pawns or there was some kind of superhero working against them, which meant there was a possibility of one of them showing up to this heist. Nergal had always tried to stay low to avoid attracting any "do-gooders" but it seemed that would be coming to an end working for the presence.
As they made their way through the crowds, shooing away fans who got to interested in the group while they began discussing tactics and abilities, he couldn’t help but turn his attention the crowd wonder if there were any heroes hidden amongst them. Out of curiosity he asked the others ”So have any of you ever encountered a hero of any kind?”, phrasing the question in such a way that anyone overhearing it wouldn’t get an idea as to what they were up to, “Can’t say I’ve had the pleasure of meeting one myself so I wouldn’t know what to expect if we were to encounter one of them”

Hey sorry I haven't posted yet, last couple of days have been hectic. I'll get my reply up after work today (4-5 hours)
@dragonmancer
Nergal gave a laugh “Oh I could try burning your skin with some chemicals but that’s rather ineffective.” he replied while adding to himself ‘And not to mention I have little interest in rubbing my hands all over your body’. Reaching into one of the pockets on his jacket, he pulled out a small needle he had been using for some experiments, “No what I was thinking was more of an injection. The right dose of the correct toxins can cause all sorts of reactions inside you that can lead to increasing your core body heat. Of course, since these are deadly toxins, the wrong dosage or even too much of the right dosage isn’t going to be good for your long term health.” Nergal explained matter of factly, given the Presence would not be happy with him poisoning another team member, Nergal saw no reason to keep any information from Jackel, he did not need to be accused of deceiving him just to poison him.
