Lore of Leyuna RPG (FRPG)

[C S]

Plumes of energy struck those attempting to flank the Scholar, blasting through the decayed wings of mutated flyers. The undead beasts plummeted from the blotted sky, crashing onto the tortured Earth but shrugging off their injuries. Their limbs-if they had limbs- hung off of their corrupted bodies awkwardly yet they continued to scuttle along without fail. Some had their flesh and bone vaporized by the Blood Omen's power but persisted, for there was no rest for the broken.

Purple energy washed over the front rank of the Draxonians, sucking the souls from the soldiers' bodies, before Zazikel landed in front of them with a mighty roar. "FOOLS!" he bellowed. "You dare strike against your god?!"

The Lizardmen forces kept themselves focused on the front line, allowing their allies to turn to the rear flank. Their defense was entirely single-minded, focused completely on Eredar's legions. It was hard to tell if they even noticed the attack from behind at all...

Slithering through the dark clouds as if it were a bright sunny day, whistling a tune, Discord made a beeline for the Traitor God. It was worth a shot, after all...

[TyrannoTitan]

Tzeentch's eyes widened as she witnessed Zazikel's attack on his former allies. Beyond the merciless act he had just performed, his appearance in the battle was a very bad omen indeed. The changeling had not anticipated his involvement...and judging from the power she could feel emanating off of him, the archdemon was beyond any one of the defenders. To bring him down, they would need to divert a crippling amount of firepower from other areas, something they could not afford. She could only hope Zazikel did not take up a more active role in the conflict...

On the right most cliff, the ground ruptured as what appeared to be a massive worm-like creature emerged, spewing gaseous energy at a line of archers which melted their armor and flesh from their bodies, leaving them screaming in agony. The burrowing beast had what appeared to be a second head growing out of the first, as well as tentacles replacing its usually small, scuttling legs. A bolt of lightning shot out from the darkness, skewering through the monster's hide before blasting out the other side, though it did little to stop it. Suddenly, a spinning axe slammed into the throat of the creature, as the viking leader of Vanguard roared and threw himself at the beast, which was many times his size. Grasping the axe, which was still embedded in the beast's flesh, the force of the attack threw the worm back and off the cliff, taking the viking leader with it.

"By Sigmael's beard!" Urlox exclaimed, his silver edged recurved blade lodged in the skull of a plagued elf. The zombie's boney arms continued to reach for the Guard Captain on Bardia's back while his attention was diverted to the crash of the worm and Viking in the pass. A few rangers aiming over the ledge resisted the urge to fire on the worm, for fear of striking their allies.

Urlox wrenched his sword free, yet the elf still stood, the blade leaving a notable divide in the undead's head where one side had started to slump while the other remained firm. Bardia dispatched the elf just as Urlox gave her the command to charge towards the dislodged worm; trampling the zombie, her claws rending it asunder...

[Godzilla Forever]

The general's draconian form grappled onto the back of zazikel's head, his blade soon stabbing into his bide in an attempt to divert his attention from his men.

"You are no god!" The Were-Dragon roared.

The Draxonian soldiers continued to fight the mutants, but some began attacking Zazikel, and the archdemon soon was pelted with Catapult boulders as well...

The Shadowreavers fought with an almost bestial fervor, killing any caught within arms' reach. The fierce Barari warriors proved their worth, figthing toe to toe with some of the strongest of the emotion eating nightmares, but not even the best soldiers could hold against the sheer numbers of Shadowreavers. Eventually, the line to the rear began to be pushed back as the sheer numbers of the eldritch numbers relentlessly pounded their magic, brute force, and bodies against the defenders. A blast of purplish energy sliced across the defenders from above, the infantry solely casualties to Agamemnon's targeted attack to the powerful alliance creature devouring the Shadowreavers. Agamemnon roared, before he sent a blast of shadow magic down at the beast, aiming to devour the creature's life energy...

The leader Shadowreavers began targeting the mages, deadly orbs of shadow magic being fired at them, as the "arch-reavers" swoop in for some Close quarters combat, shadowy pinions allowing them to move across the sky...

Suddenly, a blase a gooey essence covered some of the infantry atop the cliffs, as the beings were rapidly dissolved by the deadly essence. Dozens of tentacles launched out, batting aside multiple troops, as Dhoulmagus came in to join the fray...

"Aye, quite different," Kard replied.

"Looks like there's a staircase that leads to the top of the tower," Ivan said.

The then turned forward and noticed a large, gaping door that seemed to slope downwards. "I wonder where that door leads to..."

[dinoman666]

Zazikel snarled, plucking the general off his head and smashing him into the ground with a foreclaw. "I am to you filthy maggots!" he growled, tendrils of energy wafting off his form and literally swatting aside incoming projectiles or sucking away the life force of the soldiers around him. Thanks to the massive power boost from Eredar, he was more than capable of handling the traitorous Draxonians...

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Icil stepped towards the staircase; little did she know that Cyris was on the next floor.

"I really don't like the feeling that I'm getting from walking up these..." Icil implied.

Cyris could hear footsteps. The elf smirked; her trap was working excellently...

"Spiritjaw... kill her as soon as she gets up here. I don't want to get my armor messy, and killing is just your thing..." the elf sneered as the soul beast walked to the staircase, ready to pounce...

[Godzilla Forever]

The general, still in his were-dragon form, spat at Zazikel.

"No god would make his followers fight against men and with monsters! You are nothing to us!" The general spat a stream of flame from his maw, still hoping to by his men some time. The catapults continued focusing their firepower on Zazikel, as he was pelted with arrows. The infantry began to cut their way into the mutants, meanwhile the knights began to thrust their lances at Zazikel's softer parts, hoping to harm the archdemon a little bit at the very least.

"Wait," Ivan grabbed Icil's shoulder. "I don't think we should go that way. I can sense a powerful aura of dark magic.... might be a lich or some other foul monstrosity. I certainly don't want to risk any of us when we don't have to."

Kard raised his shield and sword to the stairwell, waiting for if something did come towards them. Ivan soon gestured to the side door.

"It might be wiser to check down there right now. I doubt the swords would be placed in a convenient place such as the main tower...."

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Spiritjaw suddenly pounced on Icil from above, jumping down from the staircase, easily knocking Ivan down the stairs with the force of impact, claws slicing through skin. The succubus let out a wail of pain, wincing from the searing pain of the beast's claws in her flesh. Cyris cackled at the audible sounds of pain that Icil was unleashing, clearly entertained from the attack...

[TyrannoTitan]

The horde of Shadowreavers nearest to the defenders seemed to be thrown wildly in all directions, as three massive goblin sentinels rampaged through their ranks, trampling some of their own allies in the process. Made entirely of metal and magic, the sentinels resisted the physical attacks of the Shadowreavers easily, and were completely unaffected by their life-absorbing magics, allowing them to crush, throw, and tear their way through them.

The dragon, still in the air, evaded Agamenmnon's energy attack with one giant flap of his wings. In retaliation, the beast's maw opening as a blackened beam of energy shot out toward Agamenmnon.

The mages atop the cliffs protected their channeling brethren as best they could, reflecting some of the attacks aimed at them with a great degree of skill. Others merely formed a barrier around their allies to intercept the incoming projectiles, which dissipated harmlessly against the shimmering barriers.

With a roar, Radamand descended from the sky and slammed feet-first onto Dhoulmagus' back, his mace in hand. The giant had leapt from one pass to the clifftops in a single jump.

"AREN'T YOU JUST ONE LOVELY SON OF A *****!" the viking roared as he slammed the blade of his axe into the worm's chin, hoisting himself up toward its head as it thrashed about, all the while groaning ominously.

[Murloc Tyrannus]

The tiger suddenly roared at a newer threat: Rattlebones. Icil stood, holding her stomach, which had four large scratches crossing it. She hacked up a few drops of blood.

Rattlebones screeched, crashing through the temple, charging at the tiger. It was a battle between two magical beasts, and only one would prevail...

[dinoman666]

"Naive buffoons!" Zazikel roared, smacking aside the general and spraying more lethal negative energy into his army. The attacks made by the soldiers pierced his hide, but not deep enough to stop him from assaulting them. "Look at the true god before you! He will sacrifice you all for him! You think your false Greshlynk would be more merciful?"

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Spiritjaw snarled, leaping onto the wyvern's head as it charged, clawing at the back of its skull, leaving several deep grooves. However, Rattlebones slammed the tiger into the wall, knocking it off of him.

"Come on, I don't want to stick around to see the outcome!" Icil shouted...

The siege operators turned one of the ballistae towards where the Dream Eater crashed into the cliff. Shortly after, the loud crack in the air rang out as the wooden bolt shot across the short space between it and the enemy creature, piercing its hide and lodging itself deeply in its body. All the while the second ballista was being aimed and just like the prior one, was already primed to fire...

The thumping footfalls in the darkness preceded Bardia, whose charge was more of a gallop, her body undulating as her powerful limbs forced her up and forwards with every powerful movement. As she neared the worm, the elder Frondfoot reared up and lunged at it, her forearms outstretched and claws digging into its side while her jaws clamped down on its neck. Urlox leapt off his mount and slashed the worm as he shot through the air beside it, landing off to its side behind it in a crouch...

[Godzilla Forever]

Kard quickly hoisted Ivan onto his shoulder, the older man groaning in pain, as the warrior ran up the stairs.

"Let's go! To the top of the tower, quick!" Kard shouted as he sprinted up the spiralling stairway...

The shadowreavers soon began to dogpile the sentinels, roughly fifty of the blackened abominations soon piling atop the three sentinels of the Goblins, while the rest continued wailing away on the defenders like a horde of hungry ants. They just seemed to keep on coming...

A purplish orb of energy collided with the blackened beam, the orb colliding with the beam and causing an impressive display of magical power, the bright flash of light managing to illuminate the arena for a few moments. Agamemnon soon slithered around in the sky, sending a wave of shadow magic at his foe, the blast dancing towards his foe like a lightning bolt...

The greater Shadowreavers thumped down onto the cliffs, now closing in to fight the mages in some close-quarters combat. The almost 20 foot tall monstrosities batted aside an infantry in their away as they stomped towards their prey, glowing footsteps being left in their wake...

A roar of pain exitted dhoulmagus' maw as he was knocked struck by both Radamand and the ballista bolt. Using his small hand, he ripped the ballista bolt out, as two of his muscular tentacles grappled themselves around Radamand's arms and one wrapped around the giant's neck. Dhoulmagus yanked Radamand towards himself, as he slashed towards his foe with his sharp claws on his massive combat arm...

The general coughed, clearly in pain, but he still continued to fight. The soldiers close to him when he spat his negative blast let out horrific cries of pain and agony before the nightmarish magic claimed them. The archers and catapults kept pelting him in hopes of hurting him, the knights going in for quick stabs with their lances of slashes with their swords.

"Your god is but a stain upon this place... just as you are!" The general roared. "You and your foul master will DIE, just like the rest of us!"

The general then gathered a ball of flame in his hands, before he sent a superheated beam of magical fire at his foe....

[Murloc Tyrannus]

Cyris quickly ran down stairs, noticing Rattlebones fighting Spiritjaw, along with an escaping Kard, Icil, and Ivan. The elf fired a shot at Kard, nearly hitting the warrior's head, barely missing by an inch...

Rattlebones snarled as Spiritjaw proceeded to wrap his fanged maw around the wyvern's left wing, tugging on the appendage with several loud growls and roars, claws meeting bones, leaving more scratches on the hard material. Rattlebones's spiked tail made its mark, swinging into the tiger's side, leaving three holes in the soul's structure, blue mist leaking out of the wounds...

[TyrannoTitan]

The thrashing of the sentinels made them difficult to pin down, their massive arms swatting away groups of shadowreavers at a time. In addition to the defenders striking out against them, the sentinels disrupting their lines, and artillery continuing to bombard the heart of the enemy, the alliance of factions was putting up an impressive fight.

The dragon shot toward the attack with incredible speed, the energy around it intensifying. Seconds before impact with the bolt, the beast shot up and over it, scoring its claws across the side of Agamemnon's head as it rushed past the shadowreaver, the incredible momentum at which the dragon was moving allowing its claws to slice through its hide like a knife through butter.

"THU'AMN," Radamand roared, his stony hide making the foul monstrosity's efforts to strangle him futile. A gust of wind, like a miniature tornado turned on its side, smashed into Dhoulmagus and threw him several yards backward, toward the edge of the cliff, his tendrils losing grip of the giant in the process.

The mages, desperate and terrified by the hulking behemoths lumbering toward them, decided that now was the time for sacrifice. Working in unison, they combined their magical prowess to split portions of the cliffs off from the rest, causing them to crumble into the passes below, taking the advancing enemies with them. The massive shadowreavers crushed various mutants on their way down into the passes, and although they were not permanently defeated, the mages had bought themselves time to act.

[C S]

Another crack marked the firing of the second stake, the shot finding its mark in the Dream Eater's shoulder, punching through the joint. Its pointed end emerged from the other side of the creature's body, dripping with its blood. With the bolt embedded in, Dhoulmagus was effectively crippled in its smaller arm, with another bolt being loaded into the first ballista...

[Godzilla Forever]

Kard slid to a stop as the bolt narrowly passed over his head.

"Yikes! Quick, go the other way! THE OTHER WAY!" Kard bellowed as he now began to sprint down the stairs...

Even as the shadowreavers lost troops, more seemed to be ever-present to replace their casualties. The shadowy monstrosities never stopped their attack, the larger shadowreavers now assaulting the sentinels with reckless abandon, while the smaller ones shot magic at their foes ot slay them. The battle was in a deadlock, and neither side seemed to be budging now...

Agamemnon snorted, ignoring the pain from the strike, before he shot up to the dragon with surprising speed, before a flurry of shadowy tendrils fired out from his body, the magical tendrils soon breaking off into their own smaller entities and assaulting the dragon. Agamemnon shot the dragon with a quick bolt of shadow magic, the blast stunning the dragon long to give the smaller clones enough time to latch onto the dragon like lampreys...

Dhoulmagus let out a howl of pain, one of his tentacles reaching around and yanking out the ballista bolt with an audible SWIK, pain visible on the creature's nonexistent visage. Dhoulmagus shuffled forward quickly, his forward facing tentacles soon launching forward with lightning quick speed and surprising accuracy, the deadly tools aiming to grapple onto his foe's limbs...

The greater shadowreavers were temporarily stunned from the fall, the hulking monsters rising to their feet slowly and shaking rubble from their muscular forms, as they spread their blackened pinions to check their usefulness...

Nitsunobue continued figthing off the mutants in the pass, flinging the creatures around like ragdolls and crushing any that give him the chance to...

[TyrannoTitan]

The dragon heaved in mid-air, the energy intensifying even further. With a furious roar, the tendrils attacking its body were stripped of the energy that powered them, which was then absorbed by the beast. Lashing out with incredible speed, the dragon's clawed hand wrapped around Agamemnon's neck, claws sinking into its hide as the dragon attempted to pull the shadowreaver's very essence from its body.

Radamand swung his mace with both hands, seemingly at the air in front of him. As the tendrils reached the area where the mace had been swung, however, they acted as if they hit a wall of steel, collapsing into themselves due to the momentum they were traveling.

A jet of white-hot fire hit one of the greater shadowreaver's pinions, setting it blaze. Another's became encased in ice, and a third's were yanked forcefully from its body. The mages were intent on grounding the creatures...
