Storm Blade didn't move just yet, patiently waiting, patiently gathering his energy until he it was time to go all out and unleash his defensive abilities. However, he had to wait a bit to do this... so wait he did. Keeping an eye on his surroundings, and the situation of the battle.

Turn:

**LoganAura** Fri Jul 26, 2013 11:59 am

Snipe took the force of the bullet, the shadows surrounding him stopping some of the force as he grits his teeth, feeling his natural healing help.

Spoiler:

"That is MY thing. And if you want to use Russian Roulette, you have to do it right!" Snipe loads his gun with 5 bullets, spins it, and fires them all in quick sucession.

Spoiler:

The second shot is simply another loud blank, giving a bit more adreneline to Snipe, and the third shot fires out a bullet straight into the eyes of the abomination

Spoiler:

while it doesn't do much, Snipe's energy seems to go up from the fighting.

Summary of turn:

"It's a game of chance. You just shot your bullets willy nilly." Snipe taunts the abomination, keeping his spot in front of Key and wiping off the goop with a wing.

Aces says nothing as he steps around to the side, looking a bit wary. "So i' can copy us, huh?"

**LoganAura** Fri Jul 26, 2013 1:50 pm

"Russian roulette is a game where you load bullets into your gun and shoot at a target, most of the times yourself, until the bullet fires. I admit my move is a bit different than that, but in all honestly it might as well be since I don't know the bullets I shoot, or if what I shoot are going to simply be blanks and-" Snipe begins a whole rant about what exactly Russian Roulette is while they fight.

**Paper Shadow** Fri Jul 26, 2013 1:54 pm

The monster shifts into the form of a rotting zombie pony, and proceeds to leap at Snipe and bite the colt's wing while he is distracted by ranting to a thought that Aces' had to himself, leaving an infected wound, and reverting back to its "normal" form...

(Snipe takes 5 (6 - 1 Resist) damage)
(Snipe is Poisoned (save ends))

(Sparks' turn...)

**LoganAura** Fri Jul 26, 2013 1:59 pm

((Sorry, saw quotes thought it was spoken. Snipe'd still do the rant after his whole speil during his turn.))

"GAH! Ow!" Snipe winces and flaps his wing with a bit of a stagger.

"Seriously why do you keep focusing on the kid?" Sparks stabs the strange creature as he says this and immediately follows up with a cross shaped cut from the font. "Why don't you try me on for size?" Sparks smiles as he readies himself to cut the beast again.

Snipe reloads his gun, setting a few more bullets including a tranq shot into the chamber and still protecting Key and the book.

"Go time." Storm Blade said quietly, before unleash a huge burst of energy, conjuring water, wind and lightning into the room. About 1/4 of this was focused into a layer on top of his armour, reinforcing his defenses. The rest was focused down into a shield that he wielded expertly with his left front hoof. Standing on his back legs, wings out stretched to keep him balanced. He his armour kick in, giving a huge burst of energy to compensate for the energy he used up, and now... he was ready to do his duty. Two arcs of lightning leaped from his shield, one landing on Snipe, and the other on Necar. They didn't hurt, and simply left them with a mark on their hoof. A shield.

Necrar heals Sparks' wounds with more darkness, commenting on how it only seemed proper considering it was "his attack" that did it, while the Abysmal Stallion gets a good whack in with his chains...

The abomination changes into Aces High, carrying a pirate's hook in his fake arm which he quickly throws at you, yelling "Stupid Costume!" As the hook gets close, it explodes, sending you flying backwards away from the abomination...

Fury of the Tempest Fri Jul 26, 2013 9:44 pm

Storm Blade quickly launched himself into action. Diving over to the hook and slamming his shield down on it, muffling most of the explosion. However, it did jar his arms holding the shield down, weakening them as they rang painfully.

tygerburningbright Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:43 am

(OOC Really unsure about things but I think that triggers challenge of the samurai and means that I'm not weakened now...)

Sparks uses the opportunity that Storm provides to quickly stab the abomination. Following up he then swings his scabbard straight down onto the counterfeit Ace's forehead.

The abomination, back in its normal form, staggers from the blow. It gives you a glare, then screams "TREMBLE BEFORE US!" before disappearing into nothingness. At that moment, you hear a screeching sound from the hallway downstairs. A number of vamponies (bat ponies with sharp teeth and fancy clothing) fly into the attic. One begins to fight Spring Breeze and Struck, while the other two fight you guys...

(Abomination is (currently) untargetable)
(Abomination is no longer suffering from the Challenge of the Samurai)
(Vampony A and B has joined the fray)

Initiative Order:
Vampony A, B
Snipe, Necrar, Aces High, Storm Blade
Vampony A, B
Sparks

The vamponies fly around the attic and bite Snipe and Aces High...

(Snipe takes 4 damage)
(Aces High takes 8 damage)

(Snipe, Necrar, Aces High, and Storm Blade is Go!)

Fury of the Tempest Sat Jul 27, 2013 4:14 pm

Storm Blade didn't wait around when the vamponies came flying in, as two flew in to attack, Storm Blade launched himself into action. His shield went spinning towards Snipe, timed perceives so that when the vampony came to bit him, the shield got in his way, blocking the attack. The mark on Snipe being absorbed into the shield. Meanwhile, the pegasus has dove towards Ace, getting his body directly in the path of the second vampony, the fang sank into his flesh, before the vampony withdrew

Leaping away from ACe and the vampony, Storm Blade caught his shield of the rebound, the absorbed mark giving him a jolt of energy as the mark on Necar faded. His armour and skills kicking in, helping him regain his energy, as most of his storm-armour faded away, through he kept some up as he caught his breath. Again marking Snipe and Necar, through he remained weakened by the explosive hook.

Aces looked around, then rubbed his eyes...eye...a bit. After a few seconds of staring, he abruptly looked very, very tired. "I...I give up," he said, sitting on the ground.

Necrar enshrouds Storm Blade with darkness from his bone wand healing whatever wounds he had. The Abysmal Stallion then strikes the first of the Vamponies with his chains quite hardly.

Snipe yelps and ducks, though Storm protecting him allows him to finish loading his gun up with 6 shots this time. "All right, let's see how this goes. HAVE SOME RUSSIAN ROULETTE!" Snipe spins the chamber of the revolver and aims at vampony A

Spoiler:

The first two shots are blanks, duds more or less, that don't even go 'bang', but he fires out the next two readily [ 4 +3 ] The first of the two is another loud blank, adding to the adreneline from the last turn, and the second flashbang lets him rapidly load a new set of five.

Spoiler:

All five of them are duds again, but Snipe's six shot allows him to grin. "TAKE THIS MOTHERBUCKER- Sorry key, I'm in the zone as a monster hunter." Snipe fires the tranq shot right in between the eyes of the first Vampony, a strong shot that spreads the gas to the other as he spins and clears his gun of casings, blowing on the front of it.

Spoiler:

Snipe shakes himself off, spreading his wings in a protective stance in front of Key again, glancing back at her.

The first vampony falls to the assault. An illusion on it fades, revealing it to be a mannequin, and one of the ghostly orbs from outside leaves it, as if it possessed it. The orb shatters, and the mannequin falls into pieces...

(Vampony A is Vampoffy A. Wait I already made that joke...)

The second Vampony retaliates and bites you, healing itself with your blood (don't ask how a mannequin illusion does this)...

(Snipe takes 6 damage)

(Sparks' turn...)

Fury of the Tempest Sat Jul 27, 2013 9:22 pm

Through his shield was weaker than it was before, Storm Blade did not hesitate to throw himself in between Snipe the Vampony, having the fangs sink into his flesh instead. Which still hurt, even if it was an illusion. This time, Storm Blade did not consume the mark placed on Snipe, feeling that he did not need to do so just yet, as thus, bided his time until he needed it.

You do significant damage to the vampony...

(Vampony B is Bloodied)

Suddenly, out of the darkness, a large stagecoach (or rather, the abomination's version of one, complete with fake ponies both pulling it and inside), big enough to cover the attic, rushes at everypony with tremendous force. It collects you all up, sweeps you down the stairs of the attic (it seems to squeeze itself to fit to the discomfort of all inside), smashes the door open, and finally crashes into the walls of the hallway, crushing all that had been swept away, like a powerful tidal wave. Spring Breeze is knocked unconscious, the construct's parts are scattered around, Key has vanished somewhere among the confusion. The vampony was destroyed in the carnage, leaving only the broken mannequin behind...

(Everyone and Everything takes 16 damage)

The abomination reforms back into its usual form, standing triumphantly over the destruction it caused...

When the stage coach burst into the attic, Storm Blade jumped to meet it. The 'Vampony' was already caught up in it. However, before the others could be hit, Storm Blade slammed his shield into it. Drawing energy from the marks as he dug in.

"No... you... DON'T!" He shouted as he pushed against the vehicle, feeling the carriage push against him harshly, his front leg almost snapped under the force it was putting in. But with his long guard training, and odd, magical abilities. He was able to slow the carriage down, so his allies could easily back away from it in time. Through they where pushed back all the way to the hallway before he fully stopped it, and it disappeared.

The pegasus nearly collapsed after that, exhausted from the effort, with his shield-leg nearly snapped, and the other legs bleeding due to the friction caused when sliding across the floors and stairs.

(Used Under the Ageis. -4 to protect Sparks, Necar, Aces High & Snipe. Marks consumed to reduce cost to -2)

**Paper Shadow** Wed Jul 31, 2013 7:32 pm

(Technically, -5. Due to the wording of Under the Aegis, you must protect all of your allies, and that includes the Abysmal Stallion who was also hit. Of course, you can still reduce the cost by 2 pips and still afford it...)

The reformed abomination looks at you with its expressionless face, but you can tell it is intrigued with your performance...
