Ellis — Elderstrand (Group 1)

Ellis slashed at one of the armored warriors, scoring the armor with a dark scorch mark, resisting more than it should have. His enemy swung a heavy fist at his head, and he ducked past it. A second opponent’s fist came out of nowhere,…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

Marcel stumbled over to Sara and Felicity to fetch his staff. He held it in the crook of his bad arm and punched their shoulders with his other hand. “Nice job.”

They shared smiles for a split second. Marcel ran back into the fray. His hand…[Read more]

3 Ironwalkers down, 9 to go, if anyone was wondering. Pretty sure there were originally a dozen.

I’ll hold off on having Felicity fight anymore.

@jonas I was imagining the Ironwalkers as just enchanted suits of armor before. The fact that there’s something inside but they still don’t make any noise makes them a lot scarier.

Felicity- Group 1, Edge of Elderstrand

Felicity took the staff gratefully. Her knuckles were raw and…[Read more]

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr @raxforge

Sorry y’all, I might not be very active on the RP for the next week because I have a debate coming up, so feel free to toss Sara around wherever she needs to be.

Sara — Elderstrand, w/ Group 1

Silver music appeared in Sara’s vision as one of the strangers began playing on some…[Read more]

@raxforge @jonas

Yes. When he said “not solid,” he meant the creatures aren’t made of magically fluid iron that is completely solid throughout. They at least have separate iron plates and pieces. He ripped off at least their outer layer, and whatever is inside is yet to be discovered. (That would be Jonas’ decision.)

@raxforge

There are actually biological creatures inside the armor. Marcel’s exclamation that they are made of iron was in erroneous as he later discovered, though I see how when he later said that they “aren’t solid” it could have been misinterpreted as saying they are hollow. What he really meant (I assume) is that they aren’t solid metal (i.e.…[Read more]

@raxforge

Suddenly, one of the knights (am I getting this right?)

Basically. If you missed it when I introduced them earlier, these are called Ironwalkers. They are humanoid creatures clad entirely in armor. Their helmets have a completely smooth front with no eye holes or any other facial features. (Because they don’t have eyes.) They also don’t…[Read more]

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr @raxforge

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/ Group 1)

The chunky creatures loomed over them, casting shadows over the soaked ground. They walked without sight or feeling, without head movement.

Someone cried out. It was the man with wind powers. He cradled his hand, and when the other young men…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle My character doesn’t even have military training. She’s just… very determined.
@grcr @raxforge @whalekeeper @jonas @rae

Felicity— Group 1, Edge of Elderstrand

“Clickmen.” Felicity shuddered at the sound of metal footsteps. It was clear as they got closer that they were not the machines Felicity was used to, but she didn’t care…[Read more]

@rae

Don’t look at me.

My guys are just normal people with some military training.

@whalekeeper @grcr @raxforge @loopylin @jonas

Leon and Julian —Group 1, Elderstrand edge

Julian looked up and his eyes widened. He yanked Leon back. “Look out!”

Leon spun, gripping his sword tightly. His eyes and mouth opened in shock. “What are t…[Read more]

@jonas YES!

Baron (Brutus)—Group 1, Elderstrand edge

Brutus sighed, before coughing once more. After which, he harnessed the wind once again, throwing the strong wind at the foremost figure, trying to knock it over. But nothing appeared to happen to the things. Brutus gave a cry,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I mean, they’re technically just NPCs, so yes, (though I would recommend using them sparingly.) In this case, I happen to agree with @rae‘s assessment and will be deploying them anyway, lol.

Within a few seconds, the fight was…[Read more]

Baron (Brutus)—Group 1, Elderstrand edge

Brutus held his drenched scarf up over his nose, his eyes shifting to the boy. He didn’t speak, he merely looked the boy up and down, before breaking out into a few coughs. Recovering himself, Brutus walked over the form of the…[Read more]

@jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr @raxforge

We do need a plan, do we want to get out of the city?

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/ Group 1)

Marcel cocked his head, amused, and shook his fists to loosen them back to normal. “You could have left us a couple soldiers…”

@whalekeeper @loopylin @jonas @grcr @hybridlore @raxforge @rae

Leon and Julian– Group 1

Leon had his sword drawn in seconds, and before he engaged the first enemy, Julian was at his shoulder. For a moment it was a wild skirmish, and everything was shouts and blows in the dark.

All at once, the fight died away.

Julian wiped rainwater from his e…[Read more]

Baron (Brutus)—with Ben Gunn, Flare, Leon, Julian, Fel, Ellis Sara, Marcellus, and the other Marcellus, our favorite neighborhood godling, Elderstrand Edge (I had fun typing that all out XD)

The wind around Brutus rose in int…[Read more]

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/ Group 1)
More soldiers raced in. Marcel clenched his hands, and feathers laced around his fingers. Kicking up water, he swerved around around Ellis, who acted as final flaming barricade.
He deflected a sword with his staff. The soldier barked an unpleasant…[Read more]

(Seeing how long these group names are getting, I’m just going to start calling this group “group one”.)

Ellis — Elderstrand (Group 1)

Ellis turned and was surprised to find another group of people. Marcel was talking to one of the strangers, who it appeared were just as…[Read more]
