[QUOTE="megamania, post: 837747, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 046 “Tembo Bashing” Mania instinctively calls up Inertia Armor covering himself in a faintly glowing psionic force field. He looks at the carnage before him. A templar is down, ripped apart and gutted. Two other guards bleed from their eyes and noses killed possibly by a psionic attack. A child is crying for its mother. She has blood covering her. Whether it is hers or the templar’s is uncertain. The other remaining templar holds a child firmly in her arms. Fear has made her pale and ugly. She screams for it not to eat her and throws the child to the ground between her and the vile creature. People are either running for their lives or frozen in fear. The last two guards try to surround the tembo but it will not allow itself to be flanked. It then rushes at one guard. It leaps onto the guard, two claws tear through the ineffective armor and the teeth puncture the neck easily. New gore sprays onto the street. The guard couldn’t even scream. The other guard does so and turns and runs. The tembo chews on the guard, lapping up blood and its liquids. It’s eyes scanning the crowd for a target…and finds one. The child thrown down by the templar. The beast stares at her and blood begins to pour from her eyes and nose. A soft whimper is allowed to escape from her before her head and body snaps back by the painful thoughts and memories forced into her conscience- killing her dramatically. Something begins to swell up inside Mania. It is not fear though he is scared. No- but it is another primal emotion. Anger. Anger at the templars for bringing this creature here. Anger at the templar for running. Anger for the tembo itself. “ENOUGH!” Before he knows he is attacking he is swinging down with his magical greatclub in a full charge. His strike makes the tembo howl in pain and anger. “Rargh! Baneful child must die!” It snarls in a grinding common tongue. It swings and strikes with one taloned claw. Blood bursts from the wound. Mania still has not registered the hit as he swings again. He puts all he can into it (OOC- Power Attack) and ruptures organs in the beast in a mighty blow that breaks bones and tissue alike. The Tembo, knowing it is about to die, strikes at Mania’s mind. Blood comes from his nose and eye as dim memories of a painful sort course through his mind. Images of a large evil man loom there. Strong pain is associated with the image. “Die Bane child. Die!” Mania strikes it again killing it. Dizzy from the wounds and the opened up memories Mania swoons and drops to a knee, kneeling on his club. “Are you insane?!?” comes a familiar voice. Keela and three ½ Giants arrive bowling over crowd members too slow or stunned to move. “who is Bane?” is all Mania can say. [/QUOTE]
