A Mystery Unleashed - Playground 3 Options

[Wolfie]

Jonacin was getting irritated. He could see that many refugee bore weapons, yet still they ran, leaving him and the others to fight overwhelming against odds. He cut down another demon with a disembowelling slash, and caught a lunge from anothers claws on his shield before running it through. The mound of corpses before him was growing, but the beasts kept coming. his armour ha been reant a nd torn again, and fresh blood was pouring from new wounds. If the others didn't show up soon, this was going to be his last fight

[Aki]

Several of the demons were blasted into the air as Fenris road past, his shout utilmately sending them to be dashed on the city walls. He charged into the fray, shouts sending the beast flying, or crushing them into the ground. his blade whipped about, tearing into them with ease.

Shakur rode woth the refugees for a few second, before he know there was no danger for them. He pulled the reins of the horse till it whipped around. "Ride!" Shakur yelled, drawing his claymore. He saw one of the larger monsters that was making it's way toward Sel. He jumped at the monster, landding behind it. He swung his claymore, cutting of three of it's six legs. "These monsters are definately some sort of new daedric foot soldier". Shakur didn't remount his horse, but told it to run and hide. "Sel, get that Child out of here! We'll flank the back of the stragglers chasing you!". Shakur ran towards another beast until it opened it's jaws opened, so he shot a fire ball into it.

All was calm in the front gaurd, the sun was slowly setting and it was nice and cool, Falx could almost fall asleep...

"By the Nine! Look the beasts have returned!!" A peasent shouted.

Falx turned around, there were hundreds of them, they looked almost as bears and dogs, but evil.

"Keep refugees moving forward!! I'm going to help the center guard!"

Off falx dashed, it would be at least 30 seconds before he'd reach the foul creatures. He ready his broadsword... Contact!

He sliced at the neck of one of the beasts, then two and three, there were to many!

He saw Jonacin was in trouble, already 6 of the beasts had surrounded him, and none of the peasents would help him!

"Ride Akatosh, lets save our friends!" Falx whispered to his horse. Falx forced his horse to leap in the air then come down and crush beast standing behind Jonacin. Jumping off his horse he went back to back with Jonacin.

"Stealing all the fun are we?" Falx grinned

[Red]

Waiting for dantrag.

[Dantrag]

Sel nodded his thanks to Serene for the paralyzation. He put the little girl down beside him and drew his sword.

"Stay close to me Triel." Sel ordered. He did not go out of his way to attack any demons - not with a responsibility like Triel. He heard Celia's shout, but could do nothing with demons crossing his path. He had to constantly remind himself not to rush blindly into the fight. As soon as he saw an opening, he sheathed his sword and scooped up Triel, running towards Serene and Celia.

As he was running, he saw an altmer couple overcome by a mass of demons.

Sel covered Triel's eyes so she would not see. He prayed that those people were not Triel's parents.

[Wolfie]

Jonacin grined when Falx leapt into the fray beside him. "It's about time you showed up, i thought i'd have to deal with these pests all by myself" he said conversationaly as he gutted another of the beasts, and then decapitated one that lunged in from his left, "but i think i'm in need of some healing, a few of the buggers have managed to scratch me". He groaned and clutched at his side, where there was a particularly vicious rent in the armour with blood pouring copiously from it. "Celia!!!!! I need some healing here, FAST!!!!" he yelled, slicing the arm off another beast before stumbling and falling to one knee, growing weak from bloodloss. He continued to fight, but knew that the end was near if he didn't get healing soon

[Red]

OOC: ok I gotta go now, one of you can play for me, but no major decisions like having me eaten by plants.

[Channler]

"Hang in there Jonacin!" Falx said has he hack off one of the beasts legs, "I'm sure she'll be here shortly.." They both were getting over run, not even the great Tiber Septim could stop these hordes.

A horn bellowed to the distance.

"That sounds like the horn we use for the Legions!" Falx watched as many imperial Knights thudded over the hills, "Thank the 9, the Dragon Riders are here!"

[Aki]

Fenris was in the thick of the creatures, riding about on his horse. The things were smart, they stayed out of the radius his shouts covered. He continued fighting, not even noticing the aid coming. "Ya want Nord for dinner? Come get it!" he yelled.

Several more daedric beasts faded from this realm as their corpses hit various objects with bonecrushing impact.

[Dantrag]

When he got to Celia, Sel gently handed Triel to her open arms.

"Take good care of her." He said just before drawing his sword and dagger and jumping onto the nearest demon's back.

He stabbed the daedra through the back of the neck and jumped off before its body disentegrated back into Oblivion. He wiped the blood that had splattered on his face off, and charged into the next demon that showed its face.

[Konji]

Konrad looked around him, wondering if the other people were goin to do something. Upon confirming nothing was happening he unsheathed his sword and charged out of the group of refugees, his small army behind them.

Coming face to face with a beast he rolled beneath its scattered legs and sliced as he rolled, choping it in half. As he got up from the roll he heard two of his other group killing another and saw another member charging for a beast single handed.

"No Caius! You're not strong enough!" he cried, but slowly watched him get devoured by the thing. He released a shout of rage and charged at another beast, hacking at it until it moved no longer. Behind him he could hear the shouting of orders from his second in command, followed by a gurgle. He quickly turned round and was splattered wth blood from his luieftenant, his neck sliced open.

Falling to hisi knees Konrad prayed to the nine divines that no more of his men would be killed. As he was doing this the two remaining soldiers were surrounded, one of them being killed and one being snatched up by an imperial knight. "YES!" he yelled, grasping his sword and wrenching it from the ground, then swining round an dcharging at the beasts.

[Red]

Shakur rushed to Jonacin's aid as fast as he could, casting spells on the way. Shakur ran at the beasts and head butted one to get their attention. He had them follow him to the hoarde of rushing imperials.

[Konji]

Konrad was locked in combat with one the beasts, but had respite as it sniffed the air and ran away, charging towards Jonacin with the rest of them. He sliced one of the foul beast's legs away from under it as it ran towards the tasty blood. He sprinted after the beasts, beating a few of them in speed and running them into the ground with his blade.

He bent down while running and grasped his dagger, running with increased fury. He span as one jumped for him, getting sliced across the chest but digging out its heart at the same time.

He stumbled along now, tiring.

[MerGirl]

Celia sighed in relief as reinforcements came in, but soon became miffed when Sel handed her a small young girl into her arms. Greeeat, as if being a healer wasn't enough. Now, I'm a nurse, as well. She glanced down at the girl. "All right, be a brave girl, now. I can't concentrate if you cry, m'kay?" She bashed the nearest demon with her hammer. "See? I'll take care of you..."

Celia's ears picked up the shouting of Jonacin. "Oh, dear, Jona!" She forced her horse to run fast, despite the demons lunging from different directions. Celia told the girl, "Hold on tight, and don't cry, m'kay?"

The little girl nodded nervously as demons approached them from behind. Luckily, Serene blasted them with a few fireballs. Thank goodness for magic, thought Celia as she rode towards where Jona was kneeling.

"Jona, Jona, you okay? Oh, you're bleeding badly!" She dismounted from the horse, and told the girl, "Now, be brave, and don't cry!"

Celia turned to Jona, and concentrated on healing him as fast as she could. Fortunately, Falx and Shakur were there to help defend against incoming demons.

"Come on, come on, come on." Celia was starting to get impatient. She used her willpower to completely heal the spot, which became a small scar instead. But Jona should live.

Celia felt a huge headache coming on, especially with the small girl whimpering. "It's okay, little girl. It's okay. Shh, shh, shh."

Celia smiled at Jona, despite her headache. "Hey, I told you not to die on me!"

Shakur ran with the front lines of the imperials. Shakur's adrenaline rush ran off. He finally understood what he was doing, rushing into a mass of the monsters. But was he afraid? No. There was no time to be afraid. Arrows were flung at the monsters and shakur did his best shooting fire balls to knock them down.

OOC: Dantrag, if your waiting for fuzzy to post, he left so post away.

[Dantrag]

Sel was surrounded, but he didn't care. He slashed to the left, releiving a demon of its head. He quickly charged through the hole he made on the cricle just before he stabbed another in the back. His sword pierced the demon's armor, but got stuck. Sel cursed his luck. He let go of his sword, and picked up a nearby daedric longsword. Sel didn't like the feel of the heavy longsword, but it was better than fighting with only a dagger.

Sel noticed a young imperial boy fighting the demons - and doing quite well. He ran towards the boy, slashing demons all along the way. there were four demons crowding him, and Sel took the opportunity to insert his sword into the closest demon's back.

Sel put his back to the boy's. "I got your back and your left. You get your front and your right."

[Konji]

Konrad wiped the sweat off his brow, seeing the dunmer run up and help.

"Thank you sir." He slashed ahead of him, but the beast jumped to his right hand side. He stabbed out with his left hand, turning 90 degrees to the right. He sheathed his dagger and gripped the sword hilt with his other hand. He swung out, slicing through the necks of 2 of the beasts. His arms were screaming at him to stop with pain, but he put his mind to the task of defeating the next monster.

This one was big, with a baker's dozen of heads, and twice as many legs. It lunged out with its clawed limb, and smashed him to the ground. Spitting blood from his mouth Konrad picked himself up, and jumped to the floor again, sliding between two of the things legs. He faced upwards and stabbed his sword through the beast's weak stomach, the point of the blade emerging from the top of the central skull with an escort of a blood shower.

The dagger followed suite, and Konrad crawled out of the way of the animal quickly before it bellowed a death cry and slumped to the floor. Konrad ran up to it again and withdrew his instruments, then turning back to the dunmer.

[Dantrag]

Sel faked right with his longsword, the demon went for it. Sel promptly threw his dagger into its face. The demon fell to the ground, and Sel pulled free his dagger and went for the next daedra. After a few more kills, Sel grew tired of the game.

He turned to the young imperial. "Run towards that altmer over there!" he yelled. "It would be easier if we were all together fighting than all spread out like this."

He helped the imperial kill the demon he was fighting before finally running off towards Celia.
