Those rats.

After unable to think up a plan Ripel had been forced to stand by and merely watch what would happen. He was just one person, and before he couldn't hope to overpower the guards, and now officers had shown up.

What infuriated him was that two of the officers were originally from his side, and one of them just shot a mere private in the head. In cold blood as well.

The worst part was that he could only stand by and watch. All of them could give him a good ass kicking, he couldn't win.

Hell, he was lucky that he hadn't been discovered yet.

Dante · 01-07-2004, 10:02 AM

The wizard ushered Dante over to a table off to the side, stacked with piles of untouched food. Nobody had been in much of a mood to eat of late, and certainly not since the attack had started. Dante, however, grabbed a large piece of meat and started chewing on it. As he did, the court wizard starting talking in that annoying rapid-fire voice of his again.

"We've had many reports of new N'Revat Magiteks with performance superior to our own and to top it off they're apparently immune to magic as well, generating some kind of field similar to a Wall spell except that it doesn't block magic but negates it. We lost a lot of summoners when they were caught in the field and couldn't call out their totema as well as their red mage escorts. All our magic attacks all the way up to Flare and Break have proven useless - completely disappearing at the perimeter of the effect. Surely you've survived them, right, Dante? Surely you can help us, right?"

God, but this old man is getting on my nerves... And only one person was allowed to call me by that name...

"First things first, it's not Dante. To you, it's Uphirion."

He took another bite out of the meat and continued.

"Secondly, what kind of idiots are you and your men? Attacking a magic-immune foe head-on... with magic? My god, if stupidity were worth money you could buy your way out of this mess!"

Beside him, a guard started.

"How dare you, you... villainous scum! How dare you talk to Master Cornelius that way! We didn't see you defending the city! How dare you-"

"Shut up, fodder. I'm not a bloody lemming like the rest of you - I have something better to do with my life besides throw it away for a country populated by suicidal morons. That's always your bloody solution to everything - if you can't solve it, throw more lives at it until the problem goes away. Bullshit. "

He turned back to Cornelius, still chewing on his roast.

"You should have evacuated your men and used your knowledge of the terrain to your advantage instead of engaging them in the terrain they like, exposed on the streets within range of their guns. I saw companies of lives thrown away for no good reason, all because your worthless commanders felt that a "last stand" was called for rather than a tactical retreat."

"But they were more powerful-"

"Exactly what I'm saying! One-on-one they can destroy you, and without your magic, they don't need even odds. You've been too reliant on magic, and when someone decides to nullify it, you're all just standing around, pants around your ankles, ready to take it. And you still think face-to-face combat is a viable option. God."

"What you should have done was fight guerrilla style. Trap them. Herd them. Move your soft spots out of the way and let them abtter their heads against hardpoints. Begin by getting the Senate out of this building... right fricking now! They're coming for you! MOVE!"

Kya! @-@ I feel so lost since I haven't been here in a few days! I'm just..... yeah... gonna be hiding with Arc I suppose.
[/ooc]

Squeezed in tightly behind Arc, Carolina tried her best not to make a noise despite being quite uncomfortable.

How in the hell did I let him talk me into this....?

She thought back for a moment.... remembering all the drinks he had bought her back at the bar. She swore right then and there if she were to survive all of this, she would never touch a drink like that again...

OOC:Just a note! Krylo, I'm not going to betray N'revat. I promice. Cruelty's honour.

I think that was noted when you killed that poor little guy that was supposed to be getting laid after the war. *pout* Poor little guy.....

Forever Zero · 01-07-2004, 06:14 PM

OOC: Yep, poor little NPC #249. He will be remembered for having the lamest last words ever, I mean, couldn't he die with a LITTLE dignaty (sp?)? Of course, he is a Rab :p

IHateMakingNames · 01-07-2004, 06:26 PM

OOC: It was probably him lying, hoping to get some mercy. I bet he was a pimp.

Dante · 01-07-2004, 06:34 PM

OOC: Poor Rab... they'll never expect the next twist...

Krylo · 01-07-2004, 07:11 PM

Ciaran simply nodded at the corpse and closed the door once he, Elyse, and Luce (OOC: I believe Luce is there?) had left the room. "Yes, now I want you to 'escape' to the capital building, and assassinate the president. It should be rather simple... They don't know you've turned sides yet. If you complete this objective, I can assure you safety with the N'Revat."

Ciaran then turned to one of the few guards stationed about the hallway and pointed to the, now unoccupied, cell and sheathed his sword. "Clean this up, and make it suitable for a new prisoner."

The guard saluted and left to retrieve a cleaning crew and after a moment Ciaran turned back to Luce and Elyse. "Is there a reason you haven't left yet?"

(OOC: Glad you guys enjoyed the poor virgin getting blasted. Poor man... although, I suppose he COULD have been lying, but I find it more amusing if he was telling the truth.)

Forever Zero · 01-07-2004, 07:11 PM

OOC: I don't care if he was lying or not, the only way he could have been more pathetic is if he wet his pants before he got shot. Heck, Dezil is a decent guy and HE would have shot him after he gave that pitiful speech. Die with some dignity you wuss of an NPC!

STILL OOC: And as for Dante's post... :rmage: DUN DUN DUNNN!

Dezil's Magitek's were a key part of the battle for the Senate Building. They struck with a fury that a hundred footsoldiers couldn't match. He ordered four of his guards to go and help all along the line to help the troops break through, and left his remaining wingman and himself to charge the main gates. They broke through the Rab lines easily, slashing with the massive arm blades and blasting with lasers any that tried to stop them, and soon they charged straight through the Senate buildings main doors. The two Magitkes stood there for a second, in awe of the splendor of the Rab Senate's Main Hall. Soon the Rab Royal Guardsmen formed up and charged though, so Dezil and his guard were distracted away again as they massacred the guardsmen.
