"Necessary Evil" IC

Sorceress




“There is no point in waiting, right? So, let's go!”

Making sure her defensive powers are active (Energy Shield and Frozen Armor), the Sorceress is ready to begin the assault (stealth wouldn't really work, anymore, at this point).

“I'm glad I memorized a spot in the sewers that is not in the immediate vincinity to our destination, that way, even if they manage to follow us somehow, they shouldn't be able to know where we were heading. We should make sure, that we do not leave too much of a trail, when we get there, though.”

Ben O'hare, aka Brick

Brick smiles.

"Breaking things is what I'm built for," the broad-shouldered redhead says. When everyone's ready, he has Gemini point him toward the spot on the roof that should land them closest to the supplies, then raises both fists in the air, ready to bust through.

After Brick made a hole in the ceiling, Helis shouted. "Into the breach! Today we bask in the glory of victory and destruction!" and he leaps into the building, girthing teeth and ready to kill!

Surprise round (begin)

The heroes/villains give the 3 drones and 2 K'tharen inside a hell of a surprise!

The warehouse has a concrete floor, metal walls and ceiling and is only sparely lighted lighted by bluish fluorescent lights. Wooden and metal crates make the interior like some sort of labyrinth... all but the center, where brick lands and the alien invaders look quite surprised.

[SBLOCK=OOC]

The dim light gives everyone concealment (unless negated by special senses, etc)

No HP refresh yet. We assume Siren does work on something else, because Jemal cannot post at the moment.

Gemini

Gemini begins chanting and gesturing as soon as Brick jumps down into the warehouse. He steps over by the edge of the new hole in the roof and sends a magical Fire Bolt hurtling down at one of the alien guards inside!

At the same time, Gemini's 'brother' steps over to the edge wearing his replica Heracles Armor, materializing his own Toxotes in emulation of Helis, and launches it at the same target as his 'brother'! Then Gemini-Helis hops down beside Brick, trying to land out of Brick's way.

[sblock=ooc]"Magic" Gemini casts a Fire Bolt at the first K'tharen he can see through the hole brick made, or a drone in there if he cannot see any K'tharen yet from up on the roof. The "Hoplite" Gemini Duplicate launches a Toxotes attack at the same target before jumping down beside Brick.

As Helis drops to the ground, he throws his golden spear towards one of the K'tharen, and then materializes his Hypastes and approaches the enemy, to continue the onslaught.

Sorceress

The Sorceress looks down into the warehouse. Figuring, that they do not want to damage the goods, she decides for a more surgical strike against the guards standing between them and their target.

Her spell releases a burst of lightning that bounces between their enemies on the ground.


[SBLOCK=OOC]Chain Lightning on the 5 targets in the warehouse (Toughness DC 25; reduced to DC 20 with a successful Reflex DC 20)[/SBLOCK]

Ben O'hare, aka Brick

Brick takes a second to right himself, then smiles at the surprised aliens. He braces himself, then slams his hands together, sending a shockwave out toward the densest collection of targets.

After the 'smoke' clears and many crates are smashed by Brick's shockwave, only one shark-like alien is still standing...

Gemini and Helis up, then aliens!

"Now thy taste the fury of the gods!" Helis claims, as he swings his sword at the shark like alien. His sword bounces off the scales of the creatures. "Demon! You'll not escape your destiny again! I'll have thy head in a pike!"
