Phoenix, come back whenever you get the chance. Focus on your schooling, play comes later.

So, who would be next?

Hey, Phoenix, it's no problem. We've had much longer breaks than this!

Really pumped about progress, you guis!

It was pretty brutal, I'll admit.

Most games would have folded, but since this isn't most games, we've persevered.

We also didn't really have any idea what direction we wanted to take, so I threw together a story arc for us to use during Kal's escapades.

So, because Ozy hopped in right were we needed him, the turn shall now pass on to either Athi or the New Kid, depending on who feels like they can kick ass and not be a disappointment.

post is up, sorry for the wait.

Beyond the City Walls (Surreal Apocalypse RP)

Hmmmm. Somehow, this had played out better in my own head than it did in reality.

My shirt had been torn up from the Shoggoth, and I had cuts all over me that are started to scab over already. Thank Tsefahn, if I had been a baseline human, I doubt I would have done so well. As it is, the City seems intent on mauling me over, so it would be best if I got out of the flailing shadow beast.

"Laz! To me!"

Drawing my blade again, I hacked down the writhing tentacles nearest to me as I pulled myself out from the Shoggoth, while Lazarus crushes several tentacles with his jaws. Snarling, Laz, bounds away from the smashed creature. I stumbled while pulling away, the ground had warped, and it was dangerous for me to stand.

Lazarus was panting, and he had horrible cuts all over his body. They were scabbing over, but he was going to be as sore as me once this was over.

More and more of these Shadow Graphers were flooding in, and it was becoming apparent that this wasn't just a measly ambush from some remote focus of the City.

With a sigh, I popped open the holster for my gun, drawing it out.

"Alright, Laz. Here's the plan. I shoot, you bite. We good? Good."

It was at that moment that a shadowy lance came piercing down towards me. The broken Shoggoth pieces were rushing at me!

Pivoting on my heel, I came to face the lance, pulling my pistol up and firing into the lance head on.

As more and more of the shadowy lances came pouring down towards us, I continued to fire off with my Afflicted-enhanced accuracy. At the same time, Laz was busy with mauling stray tentacles and shadow graphers, grabbing them, smashing and tearing them apart with his strong jaws, and then bounding off to the next target, being sure to stay away from anything big forming up.

Ozy! Welcome back!

Cuddles- Ozy said that something really big and personal had just come up, and he had to deal with it. I'm not sure he's been back since.

Phoenix- Tis all good, RL always comes first. Just don't forget about this!

Kat:

If I was still with Tsefahn, I wouldn't have hesitated pulling out my gun and blasting apart these jumped up shadow puppets, but since I've been scrounging for everything on my own, I've found it much harder to get the same supply of ammo as I had before.

So I had to stick with chopping up these annoying shades with my ineffective blade.

I prefer fighting people or beasts. Something with meat. Something I could grapple with, drag down, and then stab in the guts, gushing it's blood everywhere. Oh, how I love that.

But instead, I had to deal with this. And, most frustratingly, be kept away from the beckoning Cache.

Slicing open one Shadow Grapher, I smack it down with the flat of my blade, making it collapse to the ground. With a focused exhalation, I smash my boot down onto the fallen Shadow, dissolving it into a puddle of dark. No way it could come back from that.

With my free hand, I grab the arm of one of the approaching Shadow Graphers; making sure I don't break the arm apart, and then fling into the air, propelling it away from the center of conflict. I don't even track it's flight as I turn back to the fight.

I hear Lazarus yip panickedly and let out emotions of fear.

Forgetting all about the Shadow Grapher I had been cutting apart, I turn towards him and the Shoggoth.

The Shoggoth was much more clever than I had originally given it credit for- it had started to overwhelm Lazarus, and the poor mutt didn't know what to do, as it tried to pull free from the creature while more of him was being overwhelmed by the Shoggoth.

"Laz, rush forwards!"

Letting out a barely audible snarl, the large dog lunged forwards, forcing the Shoggoth to wrap itself out and around the dog.

Sheathing my knife in a practiced motion, I drop my head and begin sprinting towards the Shoggoth, barreling through any Shadow Grapher's that get in my path.

With a "Hup!" I leap into the air and shift my shoulders, ramming full on with my backpacks weight.

At the same time of my impact, on command of Laz, he rushes forwards as well, straining the Shoggoth's grip on him.

Hopefully, these two pressures would blast the Shoggoth apart. The shadows will likely reform, but it'll take a little bit to get this big again.
