Cantina 6: PTH Part V, Revenge

[Kuuki]

*From down till hour six, Sir-Vin remained barely neutral, knowingly that the battle would call for him to fight for several hours. He struck at the enemy who managed to get into the center of his Schiltron.

 

By hour six he helped the healer with by helping to heal the wounded, but unfortunately the numbers of his Schiltron were dropping.

 

Now hour Ten, he could only get a few Aesir one at a time, his Schiltron's healer also went back and forth between fighting and a brief heal. He mental training in the past week kept him going, but even now barely keeping him from feeling the strain of fighting.*

 

*Cracern had helped as much as he could since dawn.

 

It was hour four when a Heloki had leaped itself into his Schiltron, Cracern quickly went stright at it, then force sped off to its side at the last moment, and using both his sabers, performing a spinning doulbe swing, that cleaved that Heloki twice, for a quick-unexpected death.

 

Hour eight Cracern saw that only a hundred of the Aesir that he started with remained. He began to worry that maybe his foolish idea of joining was too much for him to handle...

 

Hour ten, the Schiltron that Cracern was in had only just 70 Aesir left. *

[Deac]

Dawn

 

*The cock crows and Orthos charges at the Sith, hoping to break through to reach the demon contingent, but his held back by the rising sith.*

 

Four Hours In. Ten Remaining

 

*Orthos has battled away one wave of Sith. His armour is now blood red and he is already beginning to show signs of tiredness*

 

Seven Hours In

 

*Orthos finally meets his first demon, which he manages to half but is quickly overwhelmed and begins falling back to the lines to be healed*

 

Ten Hours In, 4 Remain

 

*Orthos battles his way back, a little stronger than before. It is then that he sights Lokpihet butchering some Aesir*

 

Orthos: LOKPIHET!!!!!!!!!

 

*Lokpihet drops the fallen Aesir and turns*

 

Orthos: IT ENDS TODAY!

 

*A supernova explodes naturally somewhere across space. Orthos begins to be shrouded in glowing gold light, filling his whole form, revitalising his body.

 

Enter the Starkiller*

[Admiral Odin]

((Red: I'm allowing some minor control over the enemy forces.

 

Deac: some problems:

 

1. The Sith army would not fight Orthos, nor would they impede his movements. He only has a single opponent and that is Lokpihet and his demons if you want. The rest of the enemy army will ignore him

 

2. Lokpihet would not be fighting any Aesir, he is just to go after Orthos. There would be millions of Sith, Heloki, and Fenris Brood between Lokpihet and the Aesir as well.

 

Everyone else: Keep in mind that the Aesir are in control of the Schiltrons. Also as they shrink in size the number of enemies between them increases greatly. This means moving two schiltrons together is near impossible. Also remember how that the Sith revive and impale themselves on weapons to create opening in the defenses.

 

Any questions about enemy behavior can be asked in the discussion thread.))

Tanara stood motionless as Misae approached her. Her lightsaber was in her hand, but not ignighted.

 

"I wish I could say it was good to see you again, Misae," Tanara said. "Under the current circumstances, I'm afraid this is inaccurate." She paused for a moment, then said, "How do you feel about this?"

[Redwing]

Dawn

 

Misae: How do I feel? *Her eyes burn* How do you think I feel, Tanara?

 

*She comes almost within saber-length of Tanara, then stops still.*

 

Misae: You shouldn't be my opponent. You don't know what you've gotten into. You don't know the truth. You are not the point.

 

*She lowers the blade of her lightsaber*

 

Misae: Tell me something, Tanara....did your master survive the Holocaust? *She pauses* What about...your family?

[Writer]

A look of pain crossed Tanara's face. Misae had struck deep.

 

"My master was killed," she answered slowly. "My parents were also..." Her voice trailed off, but the look of pain faded. "My sister still lives."

 

She activated her lightsaber, but did not make any move to attack Misae.

 

"While I know Elaina lives," she continued, "I cannot help but wonder about her safety. You didn't know this Misae, but the spirit of a Sith inhabited my body until recently. Her name was Kira. You may have heard of her, but I do not know.

 

"Before she left me, Kira threatened to inhabit my sister. This is why I fear for my sister's safety. While I could resist Kira, Elaina may not be able to... I know what I must do if I ever see my sister again."

 

"But you're right, Misae," Tanara finished. "This is not about me. I may not fully understand what I've gotten myself into, but I did not make any decisions to fight you. I did not wish it and it is still against my wishes. But let me turn your questions back on you, Misae. What of your family? I don't recall you ever speaking to me of them."

[Redwing]

((OOS: Wildjedi: Out of curiosity, what color is Tanara's lightsaber blade? I can't recall ))

 

Misae: I never knew them since I was a little girl, and now I'll never have the chance. They died in the Holocaust, along with my master.

 

*Misae's eyes narrow*

 

Misae: The Aesir did this to us, Tanara. *She gestures around at the hordes of Sith rushing by on either side* There's no point in resisting the Sith. They are more powerful than you can possibly imagine. They are stronger in the Dark Side than any Jedi in existence. I should know; I tried to resist them. So hard...for so long... *Terrible pain flashes in her eyes for a moment* It was futile. And finally they made me see the truth.

 

*The former Jedi's eyes take on a terrible gleam*

 

Misae: The Aesir are the enemy, Tanara. They are the murderers who slaughtered our loved ones in their sleep, not the Sith. Join me, Tanara. Join me and gain the power to save your sister - and vengeance for the wrongs these beasts have done to us!

((LOL, I'm installing it too! 24 minutes left.. And Orthos could be covered with with blood from sith slayed by the Aesir.))

[Redwing]

((Deac: Although I'm not sure, I think the rules are supernaturally enforced.

 

Half Life 2? o.O So...the other half? ))

[Writer]

((Red, I'm trying to remember what color it was... did I specify? (looks back) nope... never said... umm... sort of a burnt yellowish orange, I guess. I'm amused with myself now since it took me so long to figure that out:D ))

 

 

Tanara shook her head. "As soon as this battle is over and we can leave, I will have the power to save my sister." She sighed. "I'm not here looking for power, Misae. I'm not here looking for a fight. I'm here because it is the will of a higher power that I should be here."

 

"I'm not here because of the Aesir. I no longer care what they have done. Their desire is to correct everything and until I see otherwise, I will not despair. It pains me to see that you already have."

And yes, that goes for both of us (deac and me, since I no longer have AIM) ))

((Deac: Red is correct, those rules are enforced supernaturally and won't be broken by either side.

 

and again make use of the discusion thread for most of these OSS))

 

Aidan's location

*A dead sith revived at Aidan's feet. The sith reached up can grabed both of Aidan's ankles. Another Sith swung a lightsaber in a downward slash aimed At Aidan's chest*

 

Hal's location

*Another dead Sith grabs at Hal's legs while another impales himself upon Hal's sword. With the Hal's sword momentarily in the Sith a Fenris Brood Darts through the impaled Sith legs and clamps down on Hal's right leg. The power of the jaws began to crush the armor.*

 

Sir Vin's Location

*A sith lightsaber locks with Sir Vin's blades (I believe he has two) allowing a Heloki to attack him. Before the Heloki can strike at Sir Vin an Aesir moves in with a small cut removing one of the Heloki's arms.*

 

Cracern's location

*The Drake that had broken the Schiltron with Aidan now turned it's eyes to Cracern's location. Diving down upon the formation the drake lifts up at the last second removing five Aesir. One of the Aesir was in the drakes mouth, with one powerful bit the Drake cuts the Aesir in half with the upper torso tumbling to the ground. The torso hits Cracern in the head.

[BattleDog]

*Hal drops his shield and draws the Carr'nessan knife on his left side and stabs the Fenris Brood in the head. Then he uses the knife to open the jugular of the Sith at his feet. Hal sheeths the knife and withdraws his sword from the dead Sith. Hal's shield has been held in place by the strap over his shoulder, now he swings it onto his back. He stabs two more Sith to give him a breather then sheaths his short sword and draws the long sword.

 

Hal takes half a pace foward to give himself room and begins to slaughter the Sith in earnist.*

 

((Still no on has seen Admiral's mistakes.))

*Matt alternates between watching Hal, watching Tanara and watching the Irvines*

(( :D Watching Tanara must be boring. At the moment, she's simply standing and talking to Misae. Her lightsaber is activated, but not in position to attack or defend. Matt probably spends the least time watching her, eh? ))

[jokemaster]

((Well he's alternating between 4 people so he's probably only spending a little time on each one. That and how long does it take for someone to swing the saber and lop off a body part. Plus, he is interested in how far Misea has gone into the dark side, its effects, etc. so he would be watching intensly.))

[Redwing]

((Well actually no, wildjedi and JM: thanks to Admiral's time gap, Greco would've been watching Tanara and Misae at dawn, and he would be seeing what's going on now. At dawn, no one else is fighting, except Orthos.

 

JM, you bastard - get AIM again [unless there's some alternate reason for you not having it besides just laziness ]))

 

Dawn

 

Misae: You naive fool! What do you know of power? What do you know of the Aesir? *She raises her lightsaber* There is no hope left for the galaxy we knew. Can't you see that? Do you believe in this 'Time Matrix'? Do you really think you can trust the Aesir anymore than the Sith?

 

10 Hours into the battle, 4 hours remaining

 

*The Sith's blade glances off Aidan's mithril armor. Aidan lunges forward at his attacker, lightning coursing over his fingers. Upon contact the Sith's chest, torso and head are ripped apart, his limbs sent flying. Aidan sends lightning through his feet, destroying the arms and hands of the Sith grabbing at his ankles.

 

Aidan leaps at the onrushing attackers, frustrated at his inability to strike from a distance as normal. He tears through the first few Sith he encounters, and a surprised Fenris brood finds its skull exploding as it closes its jaws on Aidan's arm.

 

Aidan drops to all fours. He lashes out with his tail, ignited with lightning, upending - and ripping apart the legs of - several Sith who had no room to take advantage of their Force-enchanced reflexes in the melee.

 

A Heloki lands on his back, ripping a gaping hole in his vulnerable wing before a blast of lightning from Aidan rips the beast apart*

[BattleDog]

((Admiral's mistakes:

 

1. Long swords: totally unsuited for formation fighting, they're easily batted out of the way and they're generally cutting not stabbing weaons. A better weapon which might also be more appropriate is the Anglo-Saxon Seax cutless, since it's shorter.

 

2. Geat helms severely restrict Vision, they also make the warrior virtually deaf. Note I specifically stated the large eye holes in Hal's helmet.))

 

*Drago is still fighting with his small axe and shield, close with the Asier.*

[Writer]

Tanara shook her head. "I've had my doubts, Misae. You remember that higher power I told you about that willed me to be here? Well it's that same voice telling me to hold on to my faith." She paused and smiled. "Do you realize how difficult it is to object to something like that?"

 

"Trust?" Tanara continued. "What do you know of trust? Do the Sith trust you? You were on our side once. What makes them so sure you'd not come back? You know that door is still open for you."

 

"As for the Aesir, what makes you think I trust them? As I said before, I'm not here because of anything the Aesir said to us. I don't trust them. I trust the voice inside. It tells me I was supposed to be here and so here I am."

 

She whipped her lightsaber up, ready to defend herself. "What about you, Misae? You have lost all hope. Do you think you can find it in the promises of the Sith?"

[Admiral Odin]

((BD: Longswords while not ideal weapons for close formation fighting can still be used. (and yes I did this intentionally).

 

The Great Helms: They also limit the amount of air you can intake. A benefit is that they provide very good head portection.

 

However, BD your assuming that the great helms are the exact same as those used in the medieval ages. Wron. For a civilization as advanced as the Aesir do your really think they would not modify/add to the helms to overcome this limitations. For instance an internal com system, sensors etc.

 

Sorry but I have to run, tonight I plan on posting one of the indivdual fights in it's entirety (just to make things simple since I have a number of them) ))

[BattleDog]

((I stand by my assessment of the swords, since they should have short swords, and daggers.

 

As to the helms, since the Heloki seem to be able to rip it apart anyway..... Well.))

 

11 Hours in

 

*Hal's blade flashes, the bright shine of the sun on the core is nothing to the light of fire in the edge of the blade. Dozens of Sith Fall back bleeding, missing arms or legs. Hal's armour is now covered in the blood of his enemies, he dances despite the wounds in both legs.*

 

*The Asier around Drago are now all dead, killed by another Heloki attack. Drago's armour has a tear in it along his left side and dried human blood coats the slashed tunic.

 

He is enclosed by Sith, having seen Hal he is labouriasly fighting his way to his Lord.*

[Kuuki]

*Sir'vin is surpised at the Aesir who defended him. Sir'vin quickly breaks the lightsaber lock and bashes the Sith aside*

 

Sir-Vin *to the Aesir who defended him* "I guess I owe you one!!"

 

--------

 

*Cracern falls flat ont he ground. And then pushes off the torso, and immedately nothices the Sith trying to get into the gap in the formation that the Aesir are trying to close up...*

 

Cracern *getting up and runing to that spot.* "CLOSE THAT HOLE!!"

 

*With Cracern and his ignited dual sabers he begins to bash the incoming sith out of the way, and sort of out of the formation. Even slicing an arm off of a Sith whom held its saber, and quickly droping a saber, then graping and literally throwing the Sith with his force enhanced strength out of Schiltron...

 

He charges at another Sith, force pulling the 'droped' saber and then swinging it again...*
