A Mystery Unleashed - Playground Options

[Wolfie]

"What are you waiting for then, lets go!" shouted Jonacin, slashing his sword at the enemies in front of him, causing them to leap backwards. They had become wary of his blade, no longer throwing themselves suicidally at him. He leapt into the opening left behind, and then cut down several more, clearing a path towards the cathedral doors. "Come on then stranger, if you want to clear the cathedral doors, you might want to start moving towards them!" he shouted merrily.

"honoured user" Falx muttered under his breath. He cut the throat of one of the beast and ran over several more getting to the doors. He glanced over at the mystery women that just appeared and lost his guard. One creature jumped on his back and another grapped his sword.

"Grr.." Falx threw the one off his back, and then preceded to enclave the face of the one on his arm with his fist. He turned around and looked at the other and threw his helmet at its face.
"Wonderful, you got blood all over my helmet..." he said to the creature.

The beasts were atttacking with a greater vigour now, hundreds swarmed and were throwing themselves at the two now.

(OOC: Just so you know there isn't like 20-30 or them, more like 200-300 of them, not alot of room to work with, and their about the size of clanfearers...)

"All right, Acro. Here we go!" Celia ran next to Acro, hoping she doesn't collapse from exhaustion.

She slammed the nearest demon with her hammer, wincing at the cracking sound of hammer making contact and cringing at the blood splurting out. However, two more demons noticed and started rushing towards Celia and Acro. "Oh, no!" she squeaked.

[Wolfie]

As they got closer to the cathedral doors, the enemies got fiercer and thicker. Jonacin's initial charge had been slowed to a crawl, with enemies coming in from all sides. He blocked most of the attacks, but several still got through, and his armour was rent open in some places, blood pouring freely from the wounds. He attacked teh enemy with renewed fury, determined to get to the cathedral doors or to die trying, and if he was going to die, he was going to damn well make sure he took a lot of the enemy with him

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco leaped in front of Celia as the two demons came charging in... He raised his blade as the two demons came slashing in full rage. As they came in Arco tumble under the first hit and slashing around severing its hard spine. He leaped up and came down taking it with his scimitar craying out slashing straight down between the burning eyes of the demon. It cried out in pain as a inferno stood out of its wound, Arco swung around parring the blow from the other demon. He went down low dodging another blow before slashing loose at its stomach and tumbled around again...

The pain in the left arm came back, but he only gave of a little grin before slashing down at the neck of the creature. Shadowfall (his scimitar) slashed down at the creatures neck, and it followed with a thrust against its head... The creature fell down as Arco looked up at Celia for a moment after killing the two creatures, before clapping her on the shoulder and started running off against the cathedral...

"Lets see if need help" Arco he said as rushed against Jonacin and the Knight near the cathedral...

[MerGirl]

She nodded. "Right!" She ran alongside Acro, hoping to catch up with the others at cathedral. She glanced at Acro's arm. "Do you need help with that or do you think your arm can survive another few demons?" She glanced around. "I think the demons are dwindling..." She slammed her hammer against another wayward demon, who had been limping towards them.

[Fuzzy Knight]

"I think it can survive, if I managed to dodge those blows coming for it" Arco said as he ran up against the cathedral, the streets was almost empty now and most of the demons were just outside or inside the cathedral...

[Channler]

"It seems that you've got some friends too" Falx shouted over the sound of battle. He bashed a deadra's skull with the hilt of his sword.

Distancing himself the strangers Falx decided it was time to unleash some hell. After slicing off another arm he came to a stop and let the deadra attack him.

Falx grunted and nearly cried over the pain but he knew it was needed, just a bit longer, he felt something peirce his leg, "Gahh!" let out a little cry of pain.

It was time.

Aided by some magic he possesed, Falx went into a bloodlust and went about slaughtering everything that moved around him. One swing of his sword downed at least three 3 deadra, but several more jumped on his sword arm and ripped it from his grip.

Falx, finding his sheild now useless flung it into the crowd and crush several of the creatures. He continued to wrestle them and beat them untill they bled dry. He felt no pain, but saw a vision, one of a fair lady standing upon a cliff and the twilight hours. Then he saw a sorcerer, evil, twisted, tormented, all those came to mind when he looked over him. In an instant his vision was transfered to Cyrodil, at the capitol. It was then he looked at the temple of the Nine Divines and noticed himself! He saw himself fighting! It scared him for he knew not what was going on, he was coming out of his blood lust!

Then a calm soothing voice cried, "No my warrior, hold strong, be valiant! You must fight back the servants of oblivion and survive to fufill the task I have for you! Your beloved city will fall, many will die, and your gods will be silent, but be strong, for I have faith in your power."

Falx came out of dream but was laying on the ground defending himself from the deadra attacks, one arm was being pulled by a stranger towards the cathedral. They had gotten the doors open! More deadra rushed towards the opened doors, they needed to hurry! Falx thought, "If we don't get in the cathedral then we will all perish!"

(OOC: The doors are open, and someone is pulling me towards them.. PS: that dream was from Azura) PSPS: I try'd to make it more clear

[MerGirl]

Celia stopped and watched as the demons scrambled through the open doors. "Oh, no! What's going on?" She saw a knight being pulled towards the open door, and she ran towards the cathedral, hoping she could pull him back in time...

[Wolfie]

Joncain saw the knight go into a crazed bloodlust, losing his sword and shield and attacking the demons with his bare hands. He was being swarmed under. Jonacin grabbed him by the arm, and began draggin him towards the doors of the cathedral, which had been opened by someone

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco rushed in running as fast as he could, he ran past some of the demons. His swift and gentle movment was unnoticed until he leaped out of the crowd of demons landing and tumbling smoothly up by Joncain's side as two demons came in hard against Falx, Arco jumped on them knocking both of them right to the ground with his left shoulder. The pain was like several stings by daggers into his flesh, but he didn't stop neither did he open his mouth as he he unleashed two strikes to the creatures throats and moving back covering Jonacin and Falx...

Arco closed his eyes hard in the pain of his left arm, but he wouldn't let the brave knight fall...

"Carry him or what ever, get him in I will cover you!" Arco demanded as he cried out to Joncain... while dodging and counter attacking the flaming creatures...

[Wolfie]

Because Arco was covering his back, Jonacin could now devote all his attention to getting the knight to teh cathedral, instead of spending more time fighting off demons. He heaved the knight over his shoulder and broke into a jog. When he reached teh doors of teh cathedrl, he was met with a scene of such horror that even he, battle hardened and used to seeing mangled bodies, retched. The knights who had been in there were torn to shreds, those that weren't shmabling zombies, at any rate

[MerGirl]

Celia caught up with Acro, and was relieved that it was Jonacin who was dragging the knight away from the battle. However, she noticed Jonacin had stopped at the doors of the cathedral, looking a bit sick.

Worried, Celia eventually got to him, and asked, "Jonacin, what's wrong---" The words couldn't come out, and Celia felt her breath taken away as she surveyed the inside of the cathedral: Bodies, blood, shredded pieces of skin, and nasty-looking zombie knights ambling around and moaning... "Oh, my gosh..."

However, she tried to stay calm, for Jonacin's benefit as well as her own.
She glanced down at Jonacin. "Are you all right?"

[Wolfie]

"I'll be fine", said Jonacin. "Can you look this guy over? He was going hand to hand with the demons for a while"
He then frew his sword and walked warily into the cathedral, his eyes scanning the shadows for anything hostile. As he crossed the threshold, the zombies turned and began shambling towards him, weapons at the ready. Jonacin set his shield and charged them, his sword slicing through ruined armour and into the undead flesh beneath. Several zombies fell beneath his intial onslaught, but sheer weight of numbers was driving him back. :Help me out here!" he yelled back to the others

Sel looked in each mirror as he passed them, seeing many things. There would be a beautiful meadow in one mirror, and a burning village in the next, then there might be another battle of some sort. Sel continued on and saw the prison he was kept in in one of the mirrors - his green-glowing sword lying on the ground. Curious, he poked the mirror with his index finger.

There was nothing there. It was as if he had stuck his finger through a doorway. Not remembering any doorway in his prison, he figured it only went one way. Using his newly found teleportation the dropped his sisters amulet at his feet and walked through the mirror.

He felt dizzy after walking through the magical mirror, but shook it off. He snatched his sword off the ground and put it away in its scabbard. Sel activated his amulet's magic and appeared back in the mirror room. He picked up his amulet's twin and looked for the best mirror to make his escape through.

The young dark elf worked his way back through the mirrored room, looking carefully at each one to see if he knew any of the places shown. Sel stopped when he saw the same battle he had seen at first. Only this time, the same people that were in that small house were there. the imperial mage, the altmer healer, they were all there. He inhaled and threw his sword into a demon that crossed before jumping into the magic mirror.

OOC: yes magic mirrors are lame, had to get out somehow...

[MerGirl]

"In a moment, Jona!" Celia set down her sack next to the knight, and quickly mixed together a homemade potion, while occasionally whacking a few demons who dared to interrupt her work. Finally, she stirred the mixture and put it against the knight's lips. "Drink it--" She grew nervous. Hopefully he was still alive enough to hear and obey. "Please, drink it right now!" she begged him, her voice cracking.

[Fuzzy Knight]

Arco ran into the fight, he started slashing loose with Shadowfall - Its fine enchanted edge took down many of the dead knights, but Arco needed to dodge much of the blows. He was used to parry with his left hand, but it couldn't be done now...

Two knights came in hard with their spears, Arco dodged the first but the second came right in and hit him in the broken arm. He leaned left as he shouted out before cutting of the spear, making the edge standing in the arm before leaping out and slashing up its throat and tripping it before setting he sword right into the wind pipe...

"We need Serene, we need a fire ball!" Arco cried out to Celia demanding her to find Serene as he grabbed the broken spear edge sitting in his wound before throwing it right at a zombie, setting in a attack slashing of both of its arms before moving across cutting its neck...

The zombies started pushing Jonacin and Arco against the corner near the north end of the tower (Doors is at the south end). Arco knew it could be the end, he kept slashing loose but he knew that they could get out of the corner now alive... Arco spinned his scimitar around controlled, keeping the zombies at a distance as he thought out a way of getting out of there...

[Dantrag]

Sel noticed the altmer healer trying to get a potion down a redguard's throat. He dislodged his sword from the demon's chest and ran to her.

"Need any help?" he asked the young altmer as he lopped the head off of another demon that had gotten too close for his comfort.

[MerGirl]

(OOC: um, Dantrag, I'm pretty sure Celia's trying to pour a potion down an
Imperial's throat...)

"Ugh! I said, in a moment, Jona!" Her temper was starting to flare a bit. She yelled loudly, "Serene, where are you?!" Celia tried to put the knight's head up, so she could try to pour the contents into his mouth. She glanced at the Dunmer next to her. "Yes, please. Either help me pour this potion down his throat, help Jonacin or Acro, or get Selene, I mean, Serene, over here. Just--Just make yourself useful!" She frowned and concentrated on opening the Imperial's mouth, and positioning the potion over it.

[minque]

Serene peered out of the door in the hideout-house....she thought she heard someone yelling her name, and the word "fire-ball"

So she formed the words in her head...."Exuro meus Hostilis" as she sneaked out the door and into the shadows...
