@Dark CloudNeed some ideas? You could react to Fenna's actions, the purple light, the skeletons running away, the big ass bird that came in for the assist. Clive could chase down skeletons, speak to Fenna, head to the battlefield now that Selica's safe, go report to the mother that her daughter's fine. You could give Clive's POV on the situation, what does he think of Fenna, why can he throw a good punch, who taught him to a humble man who will always help someone in need, build a bit of his personality or background or memories, make up another lost citizen to help. Hope some of that helped.
There was no time to see if Zell and James were okay. She had to keep fighting. But she couldn't help but glimpse down at the battlefield as she reloaded between shots. The swordsman and wizard's antics were beyond dumb. Ridiculous. But she couldn't deny their bravery. Those two. All of the group, in fact. They'd all been whisked away from their own world, through death or other means, and now they were stuck in a horror show. But they were dealing with it. Forging forward without looking back.

Qui n’avance pas, recule: The words of warriors. Of visionaries. Of heroes. In this world, the last world or the next.

The fighting atop the wall became easier as she supported the townguards who had turned the momentum against the skeletons and were now applying their own pressure. Her body responded automatically. In her mind, she was feeling a sense of kinship to those like her - the ones who came from the coffins. Even the buffoon, Zell, she counted among them. Something instinctual told her that they should all stay together, no matter what happens. That the bonds they were forging should not be broken, if they were to get through this ordeal.

Stick together. Adam had told them all this very thing, before the fighting had begun. Funny how the youngest of them had immediately pried out this jewel of wisdom from the chaos. James was already strategizing combat plans in real time, out thinking the enemy to become proactive instead of reactive. Arthur was weilding such strength that he could single-handedly hold off a monster. All of their group had strengths that they contributed. But what was her own strength? Perhaps she would find out in due time. Now was simply not the time for doubts or misgivings. Not the time to mourn the friends and family that was lost to her.

Let's just get through this and I'll have a cry about it later, she thought to herself as she jumped for a good angle and shot a skeleton over the shoulder of a townguard. The defender looked back at her and gave a thumbs up in gratitude. She nodded briskly with a 'hmph' and reloaded for another.

When the purple beams shot out in all directions, everyone on the wall paused to see it. Even the skeletons stopped to take notice. And then the undead creatures started fleeing - clambering over the battlements to get out of the settlement or running away, along the wall to the town gate. This made the townguard surge with triumphant roars and a new breath of life as they cut down the raiders. Mackensie took the breather to look out onto the battlefield and see that the ogres were still fighting back. Time to support.

MacKensie ran and fell from the wall, nosediving towards the ground and flipping at the last second to land in a three-point stance. From there she burst into a sprint towards the action. She came upon the Armoured Ogre who'd just struck Adam...

"Adam, no!"

...but he appeared to be fine. A little shaken and pained, but hale and ready to fight back. As the vines started to come up out of the ground, MacKensie took the opportunity to attack herself, skidding to halt next to her plant-wielding comrade, and firing off a barrage of shots, aimed at the Armoured Ogres eyes.
@ZapdosNice! Should be a great time xD

@Dark Cloudlol I thnk we're waiting on @Goblinguy and @Indrajita
I just wanted to let everyone know that starting Sunday night through the 14th, I'll be on vacation. I'll still have internet access and will be keeping track of this roleplay, it just means that I might post slower than I have been. That being said, I'm enjoying the roleplay so far and seeing the posts that are in it!


Where are you going for vacation, Zapdos?
As she and Zell rotated around in some kind of back-to-back dance, MacKensie was engrossed in seeing just how far she could push these new limits of hers. A battle against living nightmares was hardly the time for experimentation (especially with so many innocent lives on the line) but with the swordsman covering her back, she found she simply could not help herself.

First, after sheathing her dagger, she grabbed a fistful of bolts and attempted to rapid-fire six or seven bolts in a row, her free hand over her one-handed crossbow like some kind of gunslinger from a spaghetti western. She managed to drop three skeletons in the blink of an eye, but the speed she'd tried to push it to made her fumble and drop the rest of the bolts. "Zut!" she swore, deciding against picking them up and going back to firing regularly again, which was fast enough considering she needed to reload after every shot.

She was considering tossing a bolt into the air and trying to catch it in the firing mechanism of her crossbow, when Zell spoke up and they rotated again. Cover him? Oh dear, what was this idiot about to do now?

"I imagine you specialize in stupidity but I'd rather not die again, so whatever you are going to do it, do it well."

From her position, she was able to take in the whole battlefield in all it's metal and chaos; The Beserker Ogre that Arthur seemed to be dealing with handily - impressive but not super surprising on account of everyone's powers and the fact that Arthur's body and his weapon was almost as gargantuan as the ogre's. Adam was... Adam was...! Was that really him controlling those plants!? Wow, she thought. Considering how numerous and available plant life is, and the strength of their roots, he might be the most powerful of all of us before long. And then she saw James who was surprisingly looking right back, and he was none too pleased.


"Zell! Stop fucking Flirting and help!"


"Sacre bleu, this is the impression?" MacKensie said annoyed, pinging two more headshots. She looked back down to James again, her sharp eyes following his hand signals. She blinked twice dumbly. "He cannot be serious."

This was about to get crazy. She quickly placed bolts in the spaces between her fingers on both hands, then drew dagger. She was ready for whatever came next. As Zell flew past her, she jumped onto the battlements and skipped smartly along at pace, letting off shots and thinning the crowd ahead. As Zell let the skeleton stumble past him, MacKensie pounced on it, sinking her dagger into skull before running past the swordsman and firing a barrage of bolts to somewhat clear the path.

"Be careful James!" she shouted down to the man as he taunted the Armoured Ogre.

When Zell jumped off the wall, MacKensie almost went with him, pulling herself back the edge. More skeletons closed in. She jumped backwards to avoid an overhand strike, reloaded in a flash and fired close range into the back of the skeleton's skull. A townguard rushed in to reinforce her and together they quickly took down three more skeletons. Pressure on the wall appeared to be easing off.
@ZapdosMy post will be better if I know what Zell is up to. I can work in and around a player's post just fine, there's usually room to fit my character in the gaps of the narrative. I can lead, but in this case, with how he left it, I think he'd be better going before me this round. He seems a good enough player to take point on this one.
:( Wanna post but locked behind @Saiyan and whatever stunt Zell is about to pull lol
Nice save lol I saw what it was before. @Zapdos has the evidence!


Damn @xenon exposed! xD
@IndrajitaIsekai magic, I guess lol

For MacKensie, her powers are hyper agility and acrobatics. Also her already Olympic level marskmenship is enchanced, so it can mostly be reasoned out with instinct in a dangerous situation. Her body is just reacting and she's discovering it all post-hoc.

It seems Arthur is in a similar boat (lol boat... he's a sailor) with his abilities, though I can't speak for him.

Adam discovered his plant manipulation by accident right at the start of the story.

Makes sense to me, as far as fantasy stories go :P
@Zapdoslmfao true! The contrast is wild. I put her in the 'Don't think, feel' vibe so I could get straight into the fun. I like your approach though, drawing out Adam's realisation of his powers. Makes for compelling reading, like, you're rooting hard for him to figure things out so it's even cooler when he starts whipping ass with that log.
