Proceed.

Thanks for the visual, Soul. :)
As you can all tell, this battle just rapidly turned against Abbadon, thus it will begin to wind down. I want to ensure a huge finish for this section of the battle, so I will be working with Cameron to ensure that the last bit of Abbadon's actions in this part of the BB are truly in vein with his character. I ask that you please be patient as we formulate the next post. I intend on having it up no later than Sunday, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
-
Right now Danyael's 'protecting' Kari and ready to engage Abbadon. So am I free to post his attack or should I wait? I don't mind, either way.
-
Faidth would like to get a reply up for Soul Reaver's attack and Abbadon's next action. Hold off on any more attacks until then.
-
Putting the finishing touches on the post.
@Sepher: You have until tomorrow afternoon to put something up. If it does not happen, you will be pounded into a greasy smear on the ground.

To those who are daemonic sensative, this is a fucking huge daemon, in fact, it is some sort of daemon god.
to those of you who are very knowledgeable about Daemons, the name of the god is Rathotuhael the Undying. He is a blind deamon who can feel the threads of space around him to determine where threats are.

Awww, picture is gone. :( Do you have another link?
Though Soul Reaver might find the energies to be similar to those of the Daemons he knows, he won't be familiar with Rathotuhael specifically - the Daemons Soul Reaver controls are those from Inferno only.
By the way, Faidth, I think Sepher said that his Daemon form didn't have any eyes, so the Great Unclean One (if that's what it is) wouldn't be able to sear them... :-X

That picture still works for me :(
and Indeed, eye targeted attacks... well , he aint got not eyes! :p

Ah, ok. I copy/pasted the URL into the URL bar. That worked. Clicking directly on it didn't though.

The Battle thread is closed. Don't yell at Faidth... this was my doing. The post is unfinished. I have some things I need to add to it. Should be up by this afternoon at the latest.

First of all, very nice. Second, when you say it draws on the energies of all things around it, does that include the companions. I'm just curious. No trouble intended.
-
It is mainly that of the planet, elements, chaos and deamonic energies. It doesnt really sap life energy. They might feel a little, but thats mainly if they have some strong elemental/deamonic presence around them.
-
Faidth's last post has been completed. The thread has been re-opened.
Anyone attempting to detect Abbadon's life force or energy signal will notice that it winked out just as the Talon exploded. No detectable presence remains.
Obviously, you should not be attempting to attack Abbadon at this point. Your next post should be used to describe how you manage to escape from the explosion. Please note that regardless of how good your description is, you most likely will not escape completely unscathed.
All enchantments that were active on Abbadon at the time of the explosion have been cancelled. This includes Soul Reaver's attack from his last post.
From this point forward, I am re-establishing myself as Co-Battle Master of the Eye of Terror campaign. Faidth will still be handling the majority of the posting responsibilities. Please contact either of us with any questions.
We will begin allowing new characters into the campaign soon.
-
Thank you for your help Faidth. I really appreciated your input on this one.
I would have included Soul and Sepher, but I didn't want to step on any toes. Also, as a side note to Faidth and Kith, please keep in mind that Danyael's newest tactic is not restrictive. Feel free to accept or refuse his help at your discretion. Basically, he's just trying to help as best he can with whatever he has to work with at the moment - which isn't much considering the side effects of his ability to be in total symbiosis with planets, or celestial constructs like the Eidolon Wastelands.

Whew, that was lucky you didn't include Soul Reaver - I'd written up a huge post and went to post it when I saw you'd beaten me to it. :P
I'm going to have Soul Reaver pay no attention to those around him at the moment - he's in too much of a hurry to save his own skin. He's pretty drained and weakend from this battle and particularly his last attack, so he can't just hold his ground at the epicentre of the explosion.
He's basically tried to get as far away possbile as as fast as possible, and erected the most powerful Shielding spell he could maintain. When the explosion went off, he was already quite far away from the epicentre (thanks to Blooddrinker's prior warning), which is why he managed to weather it nonetheless. That, and Blooddrinker's been feeding him energy to keep him going.
EDIT: I just realize I might have misread the instructions: am I supposed to describe how Soul Reaver escapes the explosion (which is what I did) or rather what precautions he takes right up to before it hits?
-

No, what you did there was fine. Either way would have worked. The only thing I'm not accepting at this point is if someone tries to say they escaped the blast completely unscathed. That is for Faidth to decide. ;)
-
I'm a slacker, sorry. I'll have posts up by sunday night.
-
ill also attempt to haver a post up by sunday
-
We'll try to have a post up by tomorrow evening (barring any unforeseen circumstances.)
@Sepher: Please try to post by tomorrow afternoon. I had better not see you on MindCrack until you do. :P
-
Remember Faidth, Danyael also used his barrier to encapsulate the Elementals, as he is also attuned to the elements as well. I hope that doesn't mess anything up. :-\
Oh, also. Has the explosion already passed? The thought just came to me after I posted. If so, I don't mind taking the post down. I just liked Jharm's post so much that I really wanted to get something up.
-
@Danyael: That has not escaped my notice. I was posting the responses for the PCs only. The fate of the NPCs will be elaborated upon in the next thread because I would like Sean's input regarding how he would like me to proceed with those characters.
The effects of Abbadon's last-ditch effort will reach their culmination in the next post. So expect that the next post will discuss what remains in the wake of the attack.
-
Sooo.... should I remove my post? :-\
-
Sooo.... should I remove my post? :-\
No.
-
I have another part for that post, but I didn't want to post a frickin novel. I figured the internal monologue was enough for now.
Besides I'm still not entirely sure what the result of this situation will be for Kitharsis. I suppose that also depends on Faidth's next post.
I know it was slightly implied in my last post that Kitharsis used the corrupt energy, but I almost want to flip a coin to determine if he did or not. Moreso now seeing as Jharm and Danyael both bolstered everyone's defences.
Heck, I'm open to suggestions...
-
With Kith's permission, Danyael had a little pep talk with Kith. The post has no initial outer bearing on the battle beyond the two companions. Just a friendly chat with lots of emotions and a single 'quoted' sentence at the end. Nothing affecting the battle at hand in any way.
-
I feel the need to explain a few aspects of Danyael's position. Firstly, let's go over the appearance of the orb. if you've ever seen the remake of the Day the Earth Stood Still (only good in visuals, but the original was better in storytelling) then you've seen Klaatu's ship and his many 'Arks'. Danyael's rising barrier looks like this, but on a far more massive scale, considering he had to encompass a handful of people who were spread out in the distance. As far as Danyael's barrier rising through the desrtuction, I wanted it to look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t88LH84m3pg (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t88LH84m3pg) from 0:19 and onto the many other images seen in the trailer.
Also, I wanted to give a better out of character description as to how Danyael communicates, as he doesn't use words anymore when using telepathy. Basically, Danyael, being far more sensitive to everything around him (including emotions), uses his emotions to paint images that he feels his companions can relate to. For instance, in the old boards, he used mental imagery to paint a picture in Jharm's mind of the two of them walking side by side. This would translate as "You're not alone." While in Kitharsis' case, he would have simulated many placid images of happier times that could translate into the message seen in the post. However, as I am trying not to repeat the same mistakes as in the old boards, i want to emphasize that characters can interpret his message in whatever way it suits them. As it is their character's mind to do with what they want. Just because Danyael's messages translate as a certain quote, the imagery enables players to accept them in any way they choose.
-
@Danyael: Thanks for all of the clarifications. :)
@Kith: Great character development. It's interesting to see this particular side of Kith.
*Post is en route and should arrive no later than Sunday. We're just working out some logistical points as far as the NPCs are concerned.
-
??? I know my messages are usually accepted at gunpoint, but which sunday is it going to be? :'(
-
The Sunday that is.
-
(-_-)..... therein lies the problem.
-
Hey. You asked.
In all seriousness, the reason there's no new post yet is because we've hit the start of a new chapter, and my schedule's been hectic cause of the swiftly approaching holidays. We appreciate your patience and kindly ask that you hold on for just a little longer.
-
...and now Kitharsis and Danyael have started playing Chess.
-
...and now Kitharsis and Danyael have started playing Chess.
Yes they have.
-
I'm reading Danyael and Kitharsis' post as them pointing out in good humour that there have been no other new posts for quite some time.
Maybe we can remedy that...?
-

Maybe we can remedy that...?
Yes. I can. But not just yet. So I'll go ahead and make this easier for everyone to understand.
This Board Battle is OFFICIALLY on a hiatus. I will re-open the thread when I am able to post. Thank you.
-
Okay. The hiatus is over. Here is the new deal. I'm going to lay these rules down in stone now so that I am not questioned later.
As of right now, I will be posting once a week. More then likely this will be on Wednesdays. If it looks like I will not be able to get a post up in time, I will push back to Thursdays. I may post more often if I can, but DO NOT ANTICIPATE THIS HAPPENING. You will probably just be disappointed. If I need to deviate from my weekly schedule, I will inform you as far in advance as possible.
Once I post, you have that week to respond. If you do not respond by the time I post again, you will be god modded by an Inquisitor. If you are planning on being away, notify me either in this thread or via PM so that we can make arrangements. This will allow me to keep the thread moving and keep people from being pissed off by pacing.
In a combat situation, I will attempt to get around my one post per week setup by either trying to make short posts in reply to attacks or by having an Inquisitor (probably Faidth) post in my stead. All story moving posts will still continue to be made by me once a week.
If you have a problem with this, please contact me via PM.
if you haven't yet, you may want to read Cameron's Recap (http://nerdramblingz.com/starforums/index.php?topic=204.0). Otherwise you may be confused later.
I will endeavor to have the Outline for Epic Characters up by this time next week. New characters will be brought in during this chapter of the story.
Now, on to my latest post. Kalana has given you 30 minutes to rest. Your next post should be dealing with what you are doing to heal/regain energy/meditate/ect. When I post again next week, the 30 minutes will be up and we will move on. Feel free to post as many times as you want in reply to other battler's posts for conversation/reaction/ect. The Elementals and Kalana are available for conversation, and I will post replies to any conversation directed their way throughout the week.
I apologize for the delay.
-
Sorry. Kind of have a problem.
As Kalana and the Elementals pick themselves up off the ground, the pocket of reality that Abbadon created around this field before attacking finally dissipates.
Danyael is currently holding an elemental (Kari) in his arms while they, as well as Kith are inside a massive floating forcefield rising high through the sky. How do I move on in response to your post after all of that?
-
My bad. I'll edit my initial post tonight. Just go ahead and assume that they are still where you had them. Kalana is still with Soul Reaver, however.
EDIT: Initial post has been edited. Garr exited the forcefield. The rest of the Elementals are still where you left them.
-
I'm alive. I was on vacation for a week without internet access.
One Query, how will the time_slowdown effect contacting someone or something outside of the bubble? I'm assuming it will be delayed until the 30 minutes is up.
-

Correct. 30 minutes inside of the bubble is 5 minutes outside of it. So anything happening outside of the bubble right now will be delayed until the bubble collapses.
-
Just a quick reminder that anyone who hasn't posted by tomorrow night will be god-modded to move the story along. Please make sure you get your posts up before then.
-
Just a heads up. I am in Virginia until Thursday night. This was not supposed to interfere with my ability to post tonight, but I unfortunately left my laptop at home, and I'm not making the 6 hour drive to retrieve it. Therefore, my post will be delayed until Thursday night. Anyone who has yet to post has until Thursday night to get their post up. Thanks for understanding.
-
Okay, yeah. Posting on Thursday night after a 6 hour drive... No. Shouldn't have even promised that. Got home way too late and my brain was mush. Haven't had a chance to post since then. But I have off tomorrow, so a post is forthcoming.
-
Take your time man...would rather have a nice well-thought post then some mish-mash you tossed together just to get it out of the way :)
-
Got started a lot later then I wanted to. Have the post half written, but it's 2am and I have to be up by 6. I'll finish the post tomorrow, if not during work then as soon as I get off.
-

So..... was there anything you wanted us to do to help you get off?
For the record: I'm not wearing that fursuit.
-
For the last and final time:
It is a rules violation to address personal problems with the current Battle Master in the OOC thread. The OOC thread is for discussing things that are occurring within the current battle. If you have a problem with the current battle (ie: the current pacing, the Battle Master, ect.) TAKE IT UP WITH THE BATTLE MASTER VIA A PM.
From this point forward, any complaints directed to the Battle Master in this or ANY OTHER OOC thread (for any battle, this also applies to Misthaven and The Legion Immortals as well as all future Board Battles) will be deleted with no explanation. All Inquisitors will be enforcing this rule starting immediately.
If you have a problem with this, please take it up with me. VIA A PM. Any comments in this thread regarding this post will be considered off topic and deleted.
Thank you.
-
Okay, my new post is up. We are in combat.
Here's how this will work... this battle is fully god-moddable. So feel free to describe yourself ripping through generic Chaos marines to your heart's content. However, please do not state that you kill all the Chaos marines with one move or anything like that. And just stick with marines for now. The bigger enemies will come shortly.
Please direct all questions to the Battle Master.
-
Ok, that post was awfully long, I think I got carried away.
Short version:
- Soul Reaver gets into the battle and takes cover behind a Rhino transport.
- He casts Protection from Missiles - this will harmlessly deflect most projectiles, and severely weaken any that do make it through.
- He then casts a customised spell called Shadow Lightning Storm - it basically sends out multiple powerful lightning bolts. Each of these bolts, once unleashed, is capable of leaping from target to target under Soul Reaver's mental control. He aims this at a nearby area of heavily entrenched Chaos marines that have been pinning down the friendly marines. It kills about 50-60 of them in a short amount of time.
- Soul Reaver's antics attract a lot of retaliatory fire, so he is forced to duck behind cover again, but by now there's a big hole in the enemy rear line at his location. He's hoping the friendly marines will capitalize on this opportunity and push through.
-
Sorry if my post sounds a lil confusing. Using phone to post and can't seem to find the comma (nm....I literally just found out where its hidden....damn it all) but anyways to sum it up...jharm is preferring to leave wholesale slaughter up to his companions and go almost entirely with either impairing the capabilities of the enemy and bolstering/healing the marines...I decided in my edit though to remove his shield so all his power is going into his chants (aka his baaattlecry) and his healing spells so yes...he is kind of defenseless and almost painting a bullsye on himself but hey he is the Seraphim...the welfare of others is more important to him :)
-
Just a friendly reminder that anyone who has not posted by Friday will be god-modded. Three god-mods in a row with no explanation will be considered Battle abandonment and your character will be removed from the story in a non-violent manner.
-
I will probably post for Faidth tomorrow or Thursday. I generally like to wait until the other PCs have acted before I submit mine.

As the Battle Master of this thread, you do not answer to me. You may post whenever you want and I will not god-mod you.
-
Wanted to at least get something posted before my character was ejected. I'll edit/add to this post later tonight. Possibly before midnight.
Try not to read too much into Danyael's attack yet. But for clarity, Danyael used a part of the Somnus to protect Kith. His suddenly being next to Soul Reaver is also a use of his geokinetic abilities, as it has been demonstrated on several occasions how he instantly connects with whatever world he is on.
Oh and I'd like to congratulate Jorumn Fargazer on finally being accepted in the Epic Battle Characters Roster.
Edit (12:21 am):
Went into a bit more explanation of what Danyael was doing, though had second thoughts on extending the explanation of the attack. Stretched the use of the Somnus' protection over Soul Reaver as well primarily for character development between the two characters.
-
Okay, Just a heads up. Due to us not having power for 12 hours earlier and just having an extremely hectic day, Faidth has requested that we push our post back a day. We will have the next plot advancing post for Epic up tomorrow. We will also take that time to god-mod anyone who hasn't posted yet. (*cough* Sepher *cough*) I actually meant to post this a lot sooner, but I fell asleep due to only getting 2 hours of sleep last night on a crappy couch with no AC, and I should really be getting back to bed.
Sorry for the delay. We will not be making a habit of this as long as the sky doesn't start making a habit of turning green and dropping hail on us.
-
That was scary! :(
-
Oh and I'd like to congratulate Jorumn Fargazer on finally being accepted in the Epic Battle Characters Roster.
I'm pretty excited about it myself. XD
-
THis will basically be the same as the previous post as far as claiming your attacks. Feel free to dispose of these Bloodthirsters as you see fit. Keep in mind though, that these things are huge and should at least put up a little bit of a fight. Also, please only claim that you kill YOUR Bloodthirster. No massive spells wiping multiples of them out in one go, please.
-
The following things happened in my post:
- Faidth now has a Protection from Missiles spell on her, much like Soul Reaver's own one. It won't be as strong though, since Soul Reaver isn't maintaining it as actively. Still, it will considerably reduce the amount of fire that manages to reach her, and reduce the damage of anything that does. It's totally useless against melee attacks though. It normally has a moderate duration, but it might be shorter in Faidth's case. Faidth can decide when it ends, though without some other action, it probably shouldn't last much longer than Soul Reaver's own one.
- Soul Reaver killed his Bloodthirster, suffering a few wounds in the process.
By the way Danyael, I decided to post for the Somnus swords that Danyael summoned around Soul Reaver - hope you don't mind. I know they're directly under Danyael's control, but I didn't see exactly how it would work if you had to post for them and similarly I didn't think they'd just sit there and do nothing while Soul Reaver fights the Bloodthirster. But let me know if it's an issue and I'll edit.
-
Seemed fine to me.

-
Awesome post, man.
Thank you! I used to play Warhammer as Chaos and sometimes took Bloodthirsters in my army, so I know how vicious they can be.
Even if that one time it got killed by a unit of goblins with spears...
-
Just a heads up. Post might be a little late tonight. I have to do some running around.
Still missing posts from two people. You have till I post tonight to get a post up or you will be god-modded.
-
Will probably edit it. Then again, I don't think it'll do much good.
-
The post is coming tomorrow. :)
-
Sorry about that. "Tomorrow" was not supposed to be a abstract descriptor. The Battle Master has broken out the whip and such flagrant disregard for the definitions of words should not happen again. :(
Ahem... moving on... DEFILERS.
(http://www.milsims.com.au/sites/milsims.com.au/files/imagecache/product_full/prodimg/cit937561.jpg)
Giant crab-legged beasts. You're fighting three of them. I hope you enjoyed your god-mods in your last two posts because that stops now. We're back to the no-god mod rules, so you post your attacks and I tell you how successful they are. Despite this, I do not foresee this battle taking more then one series of posts unless you all focus on one Defiler for some reason. Between you guys, the Elementals, and Kalana, we should have this mini-battle wrapped up by my next post and be ready to move into the Labyrinth proper.
Please keep in mind that while yes, these are definitely standard Chaos units, their ability to ignore most pain and damage and the fact that they are currently heavily protected by the remaining Sorcerers means that they will not be push-overs. React accordingly.
-
Soul Reaver's figured out that the sorcerers are protecting the Defilers, and ignoring the defilers to attack the sorcerers instead.
He's cast a modfied Bladestorm spell (now more like blade rain) concentrated on the area occupied by the sorcerers. The swords are sharp enough, and travelling fast enough, to punch through even power armour, so they're a real physical threat even to the chaos marines (though not likely to be much use against vehicle armour).
He's hoping it'll either kill a bunch of the sorcerers or force them to redirect their attentions to protecting themselves (rather than the Defilers), thus improving his allies' chances against the Defilers.
-
One thing I may not have made clear is that the sorcerers are not ACTIVELY protecting the Defilers. They have knitted together powerful protective fields, but those do not need to be maintained. Therefore, they are free to act on their own accord currently, and killing them will not immediately weaken the Defiler's defenses.
Soul, feel free to edit if this negatively affects what you were planning to do. I will see about editing my post to clarify this.
-
Oh, bugger. Yes, that does change things. I'll delete my post and put something else up later.
-
Ok, wrote up a new post.
Soul Reaver has picked the Easternmost Defiler to attack.
He's cast a Tremor spell, which creates a localized earthquake. He's hoping the ensuing collapse of the ground and jabbing spires of rock will flip the Defiler over or at least disorient it enough that it'll have trouble aiming.
He's following this up by jumping straight at the Defiler and hoping to cleave through it. Blooddrinker's energy-draining properties and unnaturally sharp edge should be more than sufficient to cut through its magical protections and armour.
If everything goes really well, the Defiler will flip over, Soul Reaver will land on its 'belly', and he'll gut it like a fish.
If things go badly, it'll still be standing rock-stedy and Soul Reaver will jump right into its line of fire.
-
Dang! I meant to get a post up before today. Unfortunately I didn't have time. I'll be out of the country without internet (probably) for a week. Won't be back until Tuesday. If you need to, god mod Kitharsis to defend himself or others until I can get back. If I get wifi I might be able to get something up from my phone so we'll see.
-
Okay guys. I was patiently waiting for someone other then Soul Reaver to post, and it looks like Jharm finally did. So I'm done waiting. You have until this time tomorrow to post or you will be god-modded. Sepher, if you are god-modded tomorrow, you will be removed from the battle.
-
Ran into some PC issues, but should have a post up tonight. Thanks to everyone who posted their replies.
-
Okay. That was a long wait. Because I made you guys wait so long (and then ended up requiring a post from Faidth anyway) I am ditching the normal week limit on replies. I will wait two weeks this time before god-moding everyone. If everyone replies before the two weeks are up, I will go ahead and post, but if I am waiting on anyone I will wait till the end of that period to post. This will give everyone a chance to notice the update and reply.
-
Soul Reaver's been wounded, but he's successfully landed on the Defiler's stomach/undercarriage. He now plans to plunge Blooddrinker into the Defiler and drag the sword its entire length (requring some painful maneouvering on his busted leg in the process).
Blooddrinker should be able to manage making such a cut, since the blade will likely 'eat' the protective enchantments where it hits the Defiler, and is more than sharp enough to cleave through its armour.
(By the way, are these summaries useful or are they overkill?)
-
I'm sorry to be a bit of a nudge... but I don't remember specifying Danyael's location within the ground, nor do I recall ever specifying that he was visible. So, if my stuff is being altered, how do I respond to it? ???

No one is "altering" anything. This was a mistake. Faidth was not aware that you had placed Danyael underground two posts ago. This is an unfortunate side affect of having two people posting as Battle Master instead of one. To correct this, I have removed any mention of the Defiler attacking you from Faidth's post. The rest of the post is accurate.
(By the way, are these summaries useful or are they overkill?)
The summaries are definitely useful. I actually wish more of you would do this, as it makes it much easier to ensure that we are replying to your actions correctly. Not saying it's absolutely necessary, but it helps.

Anyone who hasn't posted by Thursday will be god-modded.

Summary!
Kitharsis is making it hard for the Defiler to move by stuffing sand down its joints. Especially its claws.
He runs up after Soul Reaver tries to slice the Defiler down the middle and tries to smack it in the cut made by Blooddrinker.
Warhammer goes boom if it connects.

Profit.

Holy crap, a post. Yes, it's real. Not a mirage.
I have not god modded anyone yet, so anyone who never replied to Faidth's last post can skip it and reply to this one. I understand that many people will not see this right away, so I and going to wait two weeks before god-modding anyone and posting again.

Oh snap.

Just got back from holiday, so couldn't post until now. And it's good to be back! Since everyone's kindly been waiting for me, I guess I'll go first!
- Soul Reaver and Kitharsis have killed their Defiler and Soul Reaver's been thrown clear
- Soul Reaver then decides to target the Chaos Sorcerers near the Black Gate
- He teleports into position slightly behind the sorcerers and behind cover.
- He throws Blooddrinker at them. The sword is spinning (and moving) very fast and will make adjustments to its trajectory to seek its enemies if they try to dodge.
I don't know how many sorcerers there are or how they're standing, but unless they're all standing in straight or curved line it's unlikely that Blooddrinker would take them all out. It's supposed to swing in, take out anything on the path it can easily take, then curve back and return to Soul Reaver's hand. A very strong physical blow could knock it out of the air, but any magic aimed directly will most likely get 'eaten' and be rendered ineffective.

Kitharsis is attacking the same Defiler as Sepher. He tossed his jug full of sand at it and is trying to hinder its movements so Sepher can finish what he is doing.
Kith is still running towards them both, but he's intentionally keeping his distance. He isn't sure what Sepher is doing, he just knows that its scary.
