Alrighty, you steam rolled over the golems and have gained access to the fort.  I however did not want to basically god-mod how any of you would react to two darkness waves hitting your character so elected to stop the post where I did.  The wave is basically the same as the one prior but basically doubled (getting hit by one wave and then the second a moment later).  As with the previous wave, it causes significant boosts to emotions of rage, anger, violence, etc.  Should you desire to have your character overcome, you can god-mod attacks against Seraphs or Shaiton forces (except Jharm of course) but any potential attack against other Companions would naturally not be god-mod allowed (if you choose to go that route lets keep it within reason lol...not looking for a PvP battle here :-p ).

The already chaotic battlefield somehow quickly descends into even further chaos.

The Companions almost synchronized efforts prove quite successful.  Gulgrims rampage flattens the one golem out on the ground as the Ork Warboss proceeds to pummel it wildly.  Meanwhile Kitharsis' attacks slam into the green gems embedded into the other golems palms, shattering the gems and causing the construct to reel as if in pain, the lightning bolt from the storm created by Soul Reaver screaming down towards the creation and veering from the palm to slam into one of the eye gems and shattering it.  A brief moment passes as both construct are severely damaged and almost disabled.  Then a thrumming can be heard, increasing in pitch.  At the same time that Phaerys' mine detonates, both golems self-destruct, the entire area awash in explosions.  Phaerys' mine blasts a massive hole in the wall, while both golems explode in an almost blinding flash of pure darkness.  Realizing what was happening, Jharm quickly raises up a large shield of light, nearby Seraphs quickly moving to form up behind it.  From each exploding golem a wave pulses outwards, washing over all of the Companions and any forces not behind the Seraphims defenses. 

The Shaiton seem completely unphased while any exposed Seraphs seem to have various effects.  Some howl in pain, shaking in pain and agony before collapsing to the ground awash in purple fire while others howl in rage and turn their weapons against their comrades and a brief onslaught occurs as Seraph battles Seraph.  Like the last time a wave of darkness washed over the party, Vee not only seems unphased but almost seems to absorb the darkness washing over her as she practically dances through the Shaiton forces, her guns booming with each shot.  She does pause however as the Shaiton forces start to fall back and she turns her attention to her newfound comrades, unsure of how the dual waves may have affected any of them.

As Phaerys continued to carve a path through the Shaiton, the vibrations of titanic footsteps alerted him that the Siege Golems were moving to directly engage the Companions in battle. The Ataran himself was beneath their attention for the moment, and so he advanced towards the wall, mindful of the collateral damage the Golems' weapons could inflict.

Completely lacking an organic physiology, Phaerys was unaffected by the toxic gas that had brought such an agonizing death to the Seraph troops in front. He glanced back to see that the rest had fallen back, under Jharm's protection. This was good, thought Phaerys. He did not wish to risk harming them if his hypothesis proved correct.

A pair of his arms outstretched, hands held up and palms aglow. From them erupted torrents of fire, cutting a deadly path the rest of the way to the foot of the wall. If the golems' gas proved to be combustible in nature, it wouldn't even break his stride.

As soon as he judged himself to be near enough to the wall, Phaerys armed the seismic charge cradled in his other set of hands. The disc-like object lit up around its edge, and he quickly flung it into the wall. Perhaps too quickly. The instant it collided with the brickwork, it detonated, sending powerful tremors through the wall and the very ground itself. Fissures were liable to open up in both. Phaerys broke into a run and fought his way back to the others, lest he fall into one of these fissures himself.

Gulgrim's grin only widens as the enemy returns fire at him. As the golem's eyes begin to glow, the massive Warboss slams a foot to the ground, force and bolts of Green energy ripping up a chunk of rock to intercept the incoming beam. Though the bulk of the stone would not deter the blast, it delayed it long enough that once it bore through the obstacle, Gulgrim was no longer standing in its path. The Warboss stood to the side, burning green flame beginning to swell around his frame in response to the spreading gas, a burning shield sheathing the Warboss, sparking and popping wherever the gas grew close to him, turning him into a blazing silhouette as he charged through the battlefield, rushing toward the Golem. As he surged forth, bits of metal and scrap seemed to drop out of the wreath of flames, the heavy pieces of Gulgrim's armor falling away to grant him speed and mobility, Deffguns and heavy plates falling away only to vanish into the ether behind the Avatar.

Building up speed, Gulgrim's charge eventually reached a crescendo as, with a bellowing roar, the Warboss kicked off the ground and launched himself, a blazing green meteor of destruction, towards the chest of his opponent Golem, a semi-physical, semi-energy comet blazing the distance, raw destructive energy aiming to punch a hole through Gulgrim's enemy, or failing that, drive them to the earth so that the Warboss could pummel them into submission. All the while, like a warning of doom, came the Warboss's bellowing cry.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!"

One of the siege golems focuses its attention on Soul Reaver and himself.  Apparently with its attention comes a thick purple beam blasting their way.  Kitharsis raises his right first in front of him.  A wave of sand rises before him, obstructing the purple beam of energy.  Knowing this wouldn't deflect the whole blast, Kitharsis quickly channels energy to the back of his right hand.  A pattern of a shield appears on his skin, which quickly materializes. 

As the beam pierces through the sand barrier Kitharsis deflects the rest of the blow with the glowing shield of energy.

But as soon as that threat was averted, the golem spews out thick clouds of green gas.  Realizing the threat, Kitharsis halts in his tracks.  Luckily Soul Reaver cast a spell with wind attempting to drive away the toxic gas.

The green gems appear to be the source of the gas.  Dealing with them should stop the toxins from being released.

Kitharsis braces his right arm with his left and focuses energy into his right palm.  The shield pattern is gone from the back of his hand, and instead a large circle appears on his palm.  With a grunt a thick beam of energy rivaling the golem's blasts toward the golem's hand.  Followed quickly by another targeting the other hand.

Soul Reaver has cast a powerful Druidic spell that manipulates his environment to create a series of 'natural' disasters in the vicinity for a time.  He can control and direct these only to a limited extent, but they won't harm his allies.  At the moment it's manifesting as gale-force winds and lightning strikes - other effects may be forthcoming.

A lance of darkness spears toward Soul Reaver from one of the Siege Golem's eyes.  Unfortunately, Blooddrinker is currently caught half-way through a hulking Shaiton warrior, and Soul Reaver is unable to wrench the weapon out in time to deflect it.  He raises the palm of his gauntleted left hand instead and the beam strikes it full-on.

The Black Steel Gauntlets spark as the beam blazes into a dark corona from the point of impact.  Soul Reaver grits his teeth: even within the enchanted metal he can feel the skin on his hand blistering.  But he only needed that moment - Blooddrinker is pulled free with a wet sucking sound and the flat of the blade intersperses itself between Soul Reaver and the beam, its enchantments more than capable of withstanding the blast.

Over the screaming sound of the impact and the blazing darkness, Soul Reaver manages to see the green gases creeping toward him and hear Jharm's warning.  Even as Vee turns her attentions to the Golem attacking him, Soul Reaver closes his eyes and chants the words to a powerful Druidic spell.

The skies above fill with rolling black cloud... and a wall of air surges from behind Soul Reaver, whipping up debris and pebbles, carrying with it scattered drops of icy rain.  A magical storm blasts forward, whipping Soul Reaver's cape and hair in front of him, and, hopefully, driving the gas away from the Seraphim forces.

Then, there is a blinding flash and deafening boom as a bolt of lightning bridges earth and sky, spearing down onto one of the golem's outstretched hands!

Beneath his feet, the ground begins to tremble...

Alrighty, sorry about that, meant to get up a post earlier but kept forgetting =/.  Good news though, I have moved into a place of my own in RL so most of my issues have largely been resolved.

Now as to the story lol.  Both golems are still standing, Gulgrims clearly taking damage from the barrage but its still going, and the other one not being attacked up until Vee landed on it.  The gas is basically akin to a nerve agent, seemingly affecting any non-Shaiton it touches.  Environmentally sealed suits and such would protect against it.  Not sure how Gulgrims suit is, Phaerys you would be safe since your suit is noted as "a self-contained environment that allows the Ataran within to interact with the myriad worlds beyond its native habitat." thus as long as it remains in tact/sealed it wont be able to affect him.

The wall of Shaiton defenses collapses under the barrage of sand and daemon, others being launched about by Phaerys' gravitational assault.  The siege golems are another thing though.  The two large figures lock their "gaze" on the Companions as they release something akin to a wailing screech.  The one focuses on Gulgrim before it is assailed by a veritable wall of various projectiles, its body shuddering as it endures the assault but not faltering.  Its eye gems pulse a briliant purple before thick purple beams blast out towards the Warboss, while at the same time the fingers of its hands spread out and plumes of thick green gas start to seemingly flow out of the green gems embedded in its palms.  The other golem turns towards Kitharsis and Soul Reaver.  One eye gem beam blasts out at Kitharsis while the other eye gem targets Soul Reaver as its palm gems also seep out the green gas.  The Shaiton around the golems seem unphased by the gas, but the few advancing Seraphs that it washes over clearly are not.  The angelic warriors scream out in pain as the toxic miasma seems to begin to burn their skin.  They drop their weapons, grasping at their throats and, those that arent immediately cut down by the Shaiton, collapsing to the ground spasming before going still.

The Seraphim growls at seeing this.  He extends a hand, a shield of light manifesting a few feet in front of him.  The gas flows against the shield, unable to pass through the shimmering surface, giving the Seraphs behind the shield time to retreat backwards.

"Seraphs, fall back!  Leave them to us!  My friends, do not let the toxin touch you!"

Vee meanwhile grimaces at the sight and shakes her head slightly.

"Gas warfare...I know the terror of it all too well."

Some text seems to briefly flash across her eyes before suddenly metal plates start to extend out from her chest armor, sliding upwards and over her head and downwards, under her boots, leaving her now fully encased in the suit, two dark blue glowing eye plates being the only discernible feature.  Her voice sounds altered, as if speaking through a mask or something.

"I suppose my lessons at home shall prove beneficial here."

She slips her hand cannons from their holsters as she seems to step backwards, vanishing into the shadows.  Appearing a moment later above the siege golem going after Kitharsis and Soul Reaver she lands on its head, both gun barrels pointing downwards as she unloads a barrage of rounds targetting its head and those eye gems.

While the others may concern themselves with fortifications and the masses of the enemy, Gulgrim was as ever only concerned with one thing; krumpin' the biggest and baddest enemy on the field. Heedless of the lesser Shaiton forces as he launches himself from the Aisgeim's hold, Gulgrim flashes with green energy as he craters the ground on impact, sending lesser enemies flying as he emerges from the smoke of his impact adorned in the Stompy Suit, the bulky, tank-like warsuit the Warboss only wore when he -really- wanted to blast something apart.

Ignoring the attacks of lesser foes deflecting off the plates of his armor, Gulgrim turned the full firepower of the Stompy Suit on the first of the Siege Golems to meet his gaze. Devastating walls of fire, of every type the Orks can conceive, hurtle down range at the massive construct. Enormous bullets, hissing blasts of plasma and searing lasers split the air between Gulgrim and his prey, and as he stomps forward his scissoring Power Klaw, Da Rippa, cleaves through the ranks of any lesser Shaiton foolish enough to attempt to stand in his way as he charges. His building battle-lust manifests as well in the crackling energy field around him, iconic to the Warboss at this point, which sizzles and spears nearby enemies with energy of its own volition, turning the Warboss into a one-ork battering ram, cutting a swathe through the weaker foes as he advanced towards his chosen enemy.

"I iz da Avatar o' Gork an' Mork!" The Warboss bellowed, his voice carrying over even the din of his own warsuit."An' I iz made fer fightin' an' winnin'!"
