"- DROP!" Ilderia yells. As soon as Ilderia is inside she is going to whip her way around, bolt out another entrance, and start shooting at Solaris with energy weapons hidden in her gauntlets.

(She has really nice powered armor.)

"- Drop Solaris if he gets close -"

Permalink

- she is going to assume previous orders to not smite him are still in place. Given that he can borrow powers that have been used on him, that seems like the correct way to err.

 

 

She does not have nearly as nice armor! With Haste she can mostly keep up, but only mostly. 

 

And she'll shoot at Solaris, not that she expects this to work.

Permalink

The knight will attempt to do as Ilderia says and drop -

Permalink

The energy blasts will not quite hit because Ilderia's aim in the dark is really not that good; the bullets, fired square-on, will be telekinetically shoved to the side so they miss by a mile, and Solaris, coming closer, will focus his deadly light, blast the space just in front of the building entrance that Ilderia and Iomedae are emerging into, and then should they (as he expects) duck back inside -

Permalink

Yes -

Permalink

Sure! Inside!

Permalink

- Drop the building on them.

Permalink

The knight will fall on Ilderia's order when she risks her own life what is she doing she's insane, hit the ground and then raise shields and start running for a different entrance -

Permalink

Solaris will focus fire on him, and, both of his risky enemies out of the way, get close enough to just telekinetically break his neck inside the force-field.

Permalink

Iomedae's going to dodge the worst of the collapsing building and now she's in range to try a Dispel Magic with the sword - she'd really like it to work, not that that's the sort of thing that she can cheat at -

Permalink

His armor will immediately flash out of existence.

Solaris will accelerate upwards very very fast while death-raying Iomedae! He's also erupting into an aura of flaming death that burns everything anywhere near him, which will set any burnable buildings alight if nothing else has.

Permalink

Owww - Hero's Defiance - more owwww -

Also she'll shoot at him, though he's faster than she is and without smiting she doesn't think she really stands a chance.

Permalink

It is completely dark (except that the beam of doom is coming from where his hand was a moment ago) and her bullets are just going to miss, it is not really a question of accuracy (though hers is, of course, perfect) so much as him putting them somewhere other than where physics normally dictates.

(meanwhile, Count Solaris is fantastically confused about who created a tinker object that can dispel generalized power manifestations -)

Permalink

"That should not be possible." He makes a note to ask Prudence if there's anything from her day he needs to know about.

Permalink

Iomedae ducks back under cover because she cannot in fact handle the flame strike for very long or dodge it very reliably. Her armor and sword are undamaged; she is severely horrendously burned.

 

"Got - the - armor," she informs the general direction where she last heard Ilderia, who may need to know this to call in other experts.

Permalink

Ilderia is trying to dig her way out of a collapsed subway station and is not immediately audible!

Permalink

Fine. Iomedae will go invisible (dropping protection, not evasion). Is Solaris still around? 

Permalink

Solaris is going to try to melt the roof over her and Ilderia, but he's doing it as a "set the general area on fire" wide-area bombardment tactic, rather than with precision aiming, as he retreats.

(And he doesn't seem to be able to detect her, at this range, while she's invisible.)

Permalink

Then she'll stay under cover until he's gone, and -

the man who could do the forcefields, just dying or all the way to dead?

Permalink

Dead. A broken neck and burns, both.

Permalink

Iomedae's not in the raising the dead business. Aroden in His wisdom said she should be a paladin, not a priest. (His wisdom probably just amounted to that Iomedae has a very forceful personality and no sagacity to speak of.) No one here has been behaving like it's important to grab bodies to raise. She'll...go hide in a different building from which, if the light returns, she'll be able to see Ilderia's.

Permalink

The light will return before very long, as Solaris ceases visibility. Ilderia is not immediately visible, at least to the ordinary eye; the roof of the building she was in has been blasted down and to pieces.

Everything that can burn, has been burning.

Permalink

Iomedae is outclassed, around here. This is also true on any battlefield where Tar-Baphon and Arazni are exchanging fire, so it gives her less pause than it arguably should.

 

She will...see if she can identify Ilderia under the rubble and get her out.

Permalink

Ilderia is actually in the subway system and headed for the next exit at powered-armor-running speeds, so Iomedae may have trouble with that!

(It's really faster than digging if you're in the tunnels anyway.)

Permalink

Century will show up in a groundcar before Iomedae can conclude this by digging, though. "She's fine."
