Arcane Inquisition

Discussion in 'Statistical Roleplays' started by CodasterTheDisaster, Dec 22, 2015.

  1. DeVa chose to stay back at first, observing each of her 'targets' though her infrared goggles where they showed up as little more than vague blobs of reds and oranges. The system would track their locations, and analyze their fighting patterns. Of course, beating on inanimate objects would not give her much information to work with. Fortunately they were in a competition, and it wasn't explicitly stated that aggression toward the other group was prohibited. Tracking response under pressure. She gave the order to the AI, before making a quick dash toward the other group and then...she disappeared! Seconds later she reappeared several feet away, and a loud 'pop' could be heard echoing through the large chamber. A small canister, only about the size of a fist, was launched through the air and landed at Olivia's feet. It was unassuming, aside from a tiny green light flashing on one side. There was a loud, shrill sound as the light turned red, and filled the area with dense smoke. Monitor heart rate, anxiety level, and natural response.

    DeVa moves to cell F-4

    DeVa activates Blink. Deva teleports to cell E-7
    Cooldown: 3

    DeVa uses Smokescreen on cell C-9. Covers cell C-9 and all cells in a radius of 2 in smoke.

  2. {Calastion moves to I8 (H9 - I9 - I8)}
    {Calastion attacks Practice Dummy F (J8)! 5 Magical Damage.}


    Everything was moving. A puff of heat from one direction; a loud crack from another; and a short, bouncing peal of a sound ringing across all else. And throughout, movement everywhere. Calastion observed it stoically, man-crushing claws tense on the ground. Any of it could suddenly be a threat-- a threat he would have to confront and dominate and pulverize with his will, until it was a threat no longer. Atop his back, Elicia seemed to be worried about none of this. She made excited noises, gripped his body tighter with her legs, and urged him forward with a clap and a call. Her psyche brushed against his, conveying her intention. Never was she tentative or cautious, or truly even critical of her surroundings as he was. It left him with all the responsibility to do the sensing; sensing of the strange, incessant sounds and the strange, incessant sights which all had to be tracked from beginning to resolution in order to make sure they were not threats. It was not worry that wore on him, but weariness. And when he arrived at the point his rider had indicated and was directed to confront, dominate, and otherwise pulverize what was before him with his will, it was not something that was producing a sound or making a movement that he was being ordered to target. In fact, it wasn't even alive.

    It was incomprehensible.

  4. {Corneil moves to J5 [J3 - J4 - J5]}
    {Corneil uses Boneshaker on Combat Dummy E (J6)! 6 Atk Damage! Knocks Target back 2 Cells!}
    <EN: 2/20>


    For such a seemingly disciplined culture, Corneil felt vaguely disappointed at the lack of a challenge that they were being served for their first "mission" as a unit. He tried to mask his skepticism as best as he could -- perhaps this, in itself, was a test? Or could the Mages truly not come up with a better task than mindless smashing of some hastily-constructed dummies as "training"? He let out a quiet "Hmph," as he recalled the parades of various armed forces on his way over not so long ago... was this a trap?

    Either way, there was no time to rest; their targets - feeble as they may be - were dropping like flies. The members of the Tau-2 unit were making quick work, despite the best efforts of the woman in the combat suit to slow them down with a veil of smoke. Corneil snapped his head back to the task at hand; the next dummy that fell into his line of sight was easy pickings. He took a powerful running start forward, before the hothead riding atop her "Calastion" could sic it, whatever it was, on him.

    He wound up his hammer a second time, dislodging the other dummy from its stand just as he had the first. This one, however, practically shattered upon impact. The fragments flew dangerously close to Elicia and Calastion. A couple feet more and the shrapnel of the Mages' work would've ripped the young girl open...
     
  5. Evelyn attacks Dummy A! 6 Atk Damage! Chance of Stun!

    Seeing as how the other team had been rapidly eliminating the immobile targets and there seemed to be a point system in place, Evelyn quickly cracked the whip of her blade at the dummy she had been attacking. Her lavender-colored eyes glanced over to Corneil as he finished off the last remaining dummy. "And that makes us even," she announced, although she didn't direct it at any one person in particular. I wonder if there'll be a tie-breaker... she mused as she retracted the whip of her blade – it didn't seem to her that they would be done when they had only just begun.

    - - - - -

    Olivia moves to E9!

    Olivia almost cursed as the fog suddenly obscured her vision. Clearly one of the members of the opposite team found it funny to mess with her. The nerve! She rushed toward the south saying nothing. Although she hadn't quite caught who had expelled the mist, she would make sure that they would pay.
