The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

This is a high level rules light game set in a school for magical kids, kinda a mash-up of Soul Eater, Harry Potter, and X-Men. :)

Percy arches a fiery eyebrow. " 'Sima, sweetie, be careful what you wish for." He waves at a few farmers in their completely unremarkable and unmemorable clothes. He hasn't taken three more steps before he's already bored with them and everything around them and about them. "Personally, I'd be amazed if the  place is even still standing. I've never known an educational facility that got beat on as much as that one. Good thing the staff and students are all so...hmmm...capable."


F Sylph

"Ugh. You're right. Still, I miss it. I want to finish this so we can go back to just being students. For a while. I want a vacation from this. It's been...weeks? Months? I don't even remember now."


"Look sharp, zappy-toes, here comes the village. Sifu told us this was our last one. Who knows what that means? Maybe you will get your wish!"

Nasima twists her mouth. She wasn't gonna hold her breath.

"I.. Er, um..."
settro pauses, then scoops her up.
"I can move faster then you. I'll take you."
he walks out, unfurls his wings, and starts flying.

dc 35 perception:
the anthro lion lets of a soft whirr and click constantly.

Once Hew caught his footing he looked up quickly straight at the lion. The staff transformed into a long curved blade. Though he still was using it for balance he looked as if he was ready to strike with it. "What is that?" He asked without anger of fear in his tone.

Zilla jumped back and held up her staff as though she was going to block it. She screamed with surprise and fear. "Did I leave you in here with that?"

Both checks are too high for him and Zilla so I'm not going to try. The knowledge mostly because they doesn't have the skill at all.

"Hi."

"Thank you, Settro-san." Midori says, taking hold of him and allowing herself to be carried, though the tears are still there.

Ardiente returns the smile, looking down fondly at Raelle. After a moment of locked eyes, he slowly breaks the hug, releasing her from his arms. He almost convinced himself there that Raelle might have actually liked him, but that was only his imagination. She was just a friend, relieved that he had not been caught up in the deadly attack, and he shouldn't let his fantasies get carried away and ruin such a wonderful friendship.

"Good, I'll have to give Mel my thanks later." Ardiente says, perhaps just a little too awkwardly, but he's scanning the room again. "Were there any Firebirds injured? I feel a little useless right now - fixing isn't exactly my specialty."

She felt...unsettled...disappointed maybe? And very, very self-conscious, something she'd never felt with him before. She'd been very certain of herself before the attack, but with everything happening her emotions were heading out of control in directions she didn't expect. Stress. Of course, it was just the stress. Unless it wasn't...she really wanted to just tell her crazy thoughts to shut up and go back to whatever they'd been doing before. It was so much less confusing.

"R-right," she said, blushing. "Umm...I don't think I saw any firebirds among the wounded, but you should probably ask umm....someone," she said, feeling more and more like a complete idiot the more she talked. "I...should get back to....making up work to do so I don't have to sit still and do nothing about things I can't control....and I'm just going to stop talking now," she finished wishing that she could just disappear. Which with her stupid crazy powers meant that she in fact did actually just disappear for a certain value of disappearing.

For the sixteen people nearest Raelle, DC 22 Will save or she simply disappears.

"Now, i don't know exactly where I'm going, but i should have a general idea..."

"What was that?"
he slows down significantly for a moment, before speeding back up and shaking it off.

Kitty headed out to where she had her animal hospital, the lights coming back on just before she got there. She stopped before opening the door. It seemed surprisingly quiet...hopefully the animals were just asleep and nothing was actually wrong...She opened the door cautiously....

I mean, I'm not a doctor or anything, well I do know a little medicine but still

"Right, so the nanites are busy bringing systems back on line and all that. So we can't use them for manufacturing like normal. I can use my ability to bring in the materials we need, but if I push too far I end up comatose which doesn't really help. So I got the plans from Mom...er...Professor Sunwake and I'm going to bring in the materials, but I need your help actually building all this equipment. New scanners and treatment centers and stuff. Since we won't have as much magical healing to use for a while. That many scrolls will take a lotta time to replace. Ah, and we need to add electromagnetic shielding and forcefields so the place can't be taken out by explosions or EMP blasts ever again....you guys up for the challenge?"

Midori doesn't reply, focused on what's ahead and on Hew-kun and Zilla-chan. Some of her worry and sadness were gone - eaten by Settro presumably, but she's still desperate to make sure her friends are alright.


Male Half-elf Image Vanguard/Aegis 9 lvls

Hew's sward transforms back into a staff while he lowers his guard. The clear substance dissolves away leaving his skin and cloths in the air. "Hi. I guess that would explain why I didn't sense you till now." He slouches on to the staff and starts using it as a crutch to cross the room.

Zilla hand presses to her chest as she breaths a sigh of relief. She looks back to Hew just after. Quickly she rushes to his side. "Here I'll help you." She tells him as she slides under his arm to take some of his weight.

Leaning slightly to 'whisper' further to Jaiye, he asks /very/ quietly, "Do any of these folks ...seem, off to you? maybe overly nervous or jumpy? What if one of these people are actually in on this attack?"

That part, clearly, sounded intentional to Jaiye, and is she were sensitive to differences in voice patterns, for a moment there, he sounded serious and 'business like' versus the casual 'goof' from just earlier.

-----

Meanwhile various other staff who were off duty in their rooms are finally gathering as well, apparently not /every/ nurse or medic was blown to bits and turned into a zombie a few times in the infirmary, continuing their best to help where able.

"Everyone looks nervous and jumpy right now. But...a traitor on the inside...it would explain how so much destruction could be coordinated. It's something to watch for."

"Actually, you might want to sit down for a little longer. It may be a little while before my scouts come back."
she looks directly at hew.
"So. Why are you here?"

Oh... I thought Settro had eaten her sorrow... I misunderstood your post. She's still quite upset in that case. :D

Tryko'Sam nods and says quietly, "Glad someone shares the sentiment. I'm keeping my eyes open. We'll have to see... casual like though. I think your boy just ran off..."

Tryko'Sam keeps peering around in the Cafeteria, checking to see who's up to what and all that. Oddly enough, he does appear to be 'waiting' on something, just in case, it would appear.

Then very quietly he adds to Jaiye, "I sure as hell hope no one does another assault while we're regrouping-- does this planet or whatever the hell fight this is about respect first aid camps?"

Concern in his voice, yet, still steady and ready. While he sweeped around, he seemed to reconsider the white haired, voluminous of body, girl that /just/ lost the leather clad guy-- okay, so maybe they weren't together. Then he shook his head a moment to re-consider his focus, now wasn't exactly the time for distractions... still... ah, she had another fellow on her arm. That fit the usual MO of the place.

>> Back to guard duty, man... nothing for you here right now. <<

"Thanks for the good news, Krays. Now we can focus on digging in and getting everything back online," he replies as the lights begin to flicker back on in the hallway.

"There we go..." he says with a chuckle. :)

"I should get up and help," Aananda started to say before she was interrupted by Ephebe.

"Mom, magical healing is no substitute for actual rest. Which you need. So you're going to get it, at least for a few minutes. James is working on getting stuff fixed and rebuilding the infirmary. You can work on getting security systems rebooted from a comfortable location. We can all help. You have to stop pushing yourself so hard...and that's coming from me so you really know you've been overdoing it."

settro keeps flying, quickly as possible, in the general direction of the infermary. Oddly, he starts to tear up, shaking it out of his eyes every so often.

"Yeah. Normal healing spells didn't even do anything. I had to anti-rot her brain."

she doesn't even seem to notice how odd this sounds.

perception DC 15:
Both Hew's staff and Zilla's looks exactly alike.

"Maybe your right." He replies while pulling a chair out from a near by deck to sit in.

Zilla simply nods and helps Hew into the chair.

"Well I was unconscious for what happened, but I was in the infirmary before. Zilla."

Zilla looks to Reviarti. "Well some strange woman took us here by teleporting saying something about trouble. I think she was one of the nurses. She then left to go find others in trouble. What happened that she needed to take us here I don't know but the lights went out soon after."

As Dom and the other walked in to the cafeteria he realized how much worse things were. The first thing he noticed was the number of injured then the army of angels. He looked over the room annoyed that some many angels came to the aid of these people yet wouldn't even send a message to there families.

As the angels rushed past Dom it became much more obvious of Dom's heritage. His facial features mimicked the angels, his body build matched many of his kin, even a the slight shine of the angels eyes could be seen in his own.

Dom turned his head away from the sight of all the angels. Slowly he walked back toward the halls but something caught his attention. Something much more important than the angels. There Tami was she was covered in blood but alive. He rushed toward her. "Tami! What happened!? Whose blood is this?" He looked her over to see if she had any injuries before wrapping his arms around her.

It seems Dom hadn't noticed but tears have started to roll down his face.

"Dom, it's okay. I'm okay. It's my blood, but it's fine now. Ace healed me. It's kind of a long story, which I'll be happy to tell you, but please don't cry. I'm fine now," she said, trying to reassure him as she hugged him back. "I'm glad you're okay too. I've been trying not to worry, but they blew up the infirmary and nearly everyone inside was killed and I was so afraid that you'd been in there working," she said, completely ignoring her own advice about not crying.

Carl go's out into the hanger and tries to manual open the Hanger doors now powers back, turning the handle to the winding mechanism he saying to himself,

"If it where me doing this, I would have left some-et ta go boom, best not be close if that's going to happen."

Slowly the hanger doors start to open, inch by inch.

"No, I was outside when whatever it was happened. When I heard the lock down announcement I rushed to find you. I guess I was too late." He kept a hold of her as her spoke. As if he was afraid that she wouldn't be there if he let go. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. I'm just so happy your ok." Finally he pulled back from hugging her. "Was Mel with you is she ok?" He asked just as worried as before.

Female Human Teenager

Anahita couldn't stop the 'noises' in her mind or head, it was this constant burr of a sound, while unfocused and dim in the 'distance' of her sense of hearing, was constant.

>> I just pray that this was not a bad idea. My instincts tell me it is not, and yet-- it needed words to sort out. Vare would--- <<

Suddenly, she wasn't where she was before and the silence was akin to rush traffic in New York City, combined with a digital recording of all the sounds of a jungle and forest, atop cries of babies and people in all walks of life, before appearing suddenly /right/ next to Vare's side.

She gasped, taking a knee, hand reaching out to clutch at his leg as she was overwhelmed by the power of her teleport. The 'din' in her mind returned to that same distant rush of maddening buzz as before, yet different.

Inhaling and looking about, she saw the wounded, how their life energies were at various states and released another gasp. Eyes opened and shut, before realizing, it was an effect she could not turn off. It was more than visual, it was a combination of feeling their heartbeats, their blood sound gushing through their veins, a myriad of information that conveyed their status.

Weakly as she drew more of a gasp, "Vare.. Professor Vare, he..." She gathered her strength and stayed kneeling, seeing that he was concentrating intently. Her hand slipped off his leg, since he clearly was not hurt, asking, "What is the situation, Professor?" Her dark eyes scanning the room, another slight gasp as they fell upon one or another person, especially those injured or dead, or suddenly returning to life.

She did, however, pause in looking at two particular individuals-- the shimmering of illumination that emanated from Vai, as well as the well of courage that poured out from the young man wandering about helping, Fei.

"Remarkable... so this is what it is like."

It took a few moments to take everything in, but, she certainly had to start somewhere.

"I...I don't.." she floundered for words. "I don't think I can have this conversation here....uh...maybe we should talk later...I mean, you were going to see if you could help and I....am starting to wonder if it's actually possible to die from embarrassment," she added covering her face with her hands. "And there's so much other stuff to worry about and...I really need to stop talking before I say any more stupid stuff," she added with a slight hint of desperation.


Setrro wings his way to the Infirmary through the hallways, which are remarkably empty-- though there is a slight hint of burnt matter, as they come closer to the location.

Upon arriving, however, there clearly are many people /just/ outside the main doors to the Infirmary, along with indications due to smells and sights (unless 'resolved by the fixing school') of destruction by fire and other energies.

People seem to be doing, primarily, two things:

1) Not going /into/ the Infirmary, right away,
2) Collecting outside in the hallway, along with a few others-- Ephebe, her mother (Professor Sunwake), and various others, Grim Jr., Yrrin, etc.

All in all, though-- given the 'grave' expressions of some of the nameless NPCs that are huddled nearby --something 'horrible' happened within the Infirmary, perhaps the thing spoken of earlier, which technically speaking, Wards down, healing center, quite the tactical move...

It's a good thing (right?) that some people in the school are used to seeing monstrous beings, because the sight of Settro, while calming and not wishing to actually hit him, isn't immediately recognized, but he does have the adorable Midori with him ...

It had been several long minutes of intense concentration for Vare. These spells could not normally last this long, and it was taking literally all of his concentration to maintain the links these creatures had to the Material Plane. So when Anahita suddenly appears next to him - her scent, the hand on his knee, and then her voice - his concentration strains beyond it's breaking point and snaps, and almost all of the vertible army vanishes. Fortunately, most of their healing magic had been spent already. Only the Draconal and a few scant outsiders remain.

Vare himself cries out in momentary pain at the sudden snapping of his concentration, though he opens his eyes and looks over to Anahita. A throbbing headache is his reward for the maintenance of so many summons. "Aghh... Anahita. I am very glad you are safe. You..." he pauses a moment, rubbing a temple in a vain attempt to clear the headache. "There was an attack on the school. The wards were disabled, the infirmary attacked and destroyed... and something else as well, which rocked the school with many explosions." his eyes are closed again, though the look of concentration has been replaced by one of pain.

"Look around...what do you think?" she said a bit grimly...and then she saw where Ehos had wandered off to. Towards the victims. "I don't know exactly what this fight was about honestly...maybe they'll be able to explain better later, but for now I think it's all hands on deck trying to get things fixed."

"So I guess we just keep our eyes open and see if anyone looks suspicious. I'll come check in with you again in a bit. I just want to go check on something," she said, obviously concerned with what had drawn Ehos over to the infirmary section, but definitely taking Tryko'Sam's warnings seriously.
