Belar sees the four demons starting their ritual, seeing them send in blood apes to stop him but the blood apes are very hesitant. They all have heard about him slaughtering a platoon of them alone by himself and so they were not very eager meet wrath of his daiklave nor fangs and claws of beast which they had heard rumors about; a Malfeas himself created experimental demonic siamhata mounts and most blood apes have dreadful memories from first age being stampeded by this very beasts mounted by solars who slaughtered their kind in troves.<br/><br/>However Belar was not hesitant, like Adorjan itself he rushed like green blur through stiff battle lines which had no time form before him block his entrance to the four greater demons, only few were pushed towards him to try a clumsy attack which he deflected on aside in brutal efficiency and he with wailing warcry he shouts in old realm;<strong>"For Star-Wind Prefecture I shall stop you! No second rate second circle demon shall overtake my domain!"</strong><br/><br/>At end of his cry he reaches the four demons! Standing middle of them and their dance he with roar explodes into fiery green pillar of flame! Paint into sky brief green ghostly image of howling wolf with burning balefire green eyes along with ethereal wailing wind blowing across three tombs as wail of the Belar's anima. However it should be clear now that something is going down in the shadow of one the tombs as whole that side of the tomb glowed in green luminance.<br/><br/>While in mist of combat.....Belar channeled Cecelyne's excelency to his attacks. These four demons were defying him? Defying his rulership in his future domain and seeked harm or destroy it? He wanted show who was the damn king in this region and so all four demons are getting beatting what they soon not going to forget!<br/><br/>As already expended essence to block the random demons who had leaped try harm and stop him, his recent explosion caused his siamhata mount who had grown bigger and have boney spikes grown across it's body explode in Malfeas granted infernal blessing. With roar of pain and bloodlust Gar'zhural exploded in size to match one smaller behemoths of creation, spikes grown bigger and so did fangs and the claws!<br/><br/>Then storm of attacks started; showing of fierce combination what Belar and Gar'zhural in field of battle and show the four demons might what he had held back for this very moment which is meant to be his cornerstone for his future victories and triumphs! Gar'zhural fiercely focused upon against one the demons in north side of the circle, swipe with green blur it's paws and reaching out with extended claws and with howling growl attempts chomp with it's maw and fang through demon's armor while using back legs to rend and tear the demon with fierce feral fury!<br/><br/>During the fierce barrage of feral attacks, the demon notices to wonder where Belar is? Just moment ago he was mounted in the artifact harness which is stretched on limit of this annoying pests body.....and then he saw answer when suddenly from one spikes in back of front paw appears a daiklave which slices powerfully across the exposed guard of the demon! Intending cut him into half with green glowing daiklave which is guided by the infernal essence hit on mark!<br/><br/>Belar after his slice moves to kick launch himself from Gar'zhural's paw and leap attack on second demon! He makes powerful horizontal spinning arch midair while with perfect coordination Gar'zhural swipes with balefire burning tail tip then, Belar grips on the tail which sends him into wild flailing towards two other demons in fast arch! While flying and gripping by his mount's own tail guided him to dive and slice to one demon's legs and in fourth unleashed final burst of his essence guide his blow to strike past demon's armor with brutal accuracy and might!<br/><br/>At end of tail flick he stands atop his mount and screams;<strong>"Come and attack me if you dare you miserable wretches! May I live and die I swear I stop you and your master even if takes ten reincarnations to pull it off!"</strong>In this defiance his anima power roars in full might and makes him frightening to behold in his balefire glowing eyes and size nearly doubled and crackling in eldrict green lightning which courses through his mount which is empowered by unleashing his full might unmasked on these four demons while holding his daiklave high and ready to strike and defend himself or mount from attacks.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Join Battle: 5 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35629)<br/>Action: Dash in each tick until reach the four demons and use Pathetic Distraction Rebuke up to 6m to refresh my parry DV against any attacks from demons until I reach my target (as said before). 6m triggers first morph phase for my mount. However with 4 ticks advance I likely reach my targets before demon army/troops have time to respond before he is upon the four demons so I describe in advance my action; which is Belar and mount combined flurry of attacks from both of us.<br/><br/>Gar'zhural focus all his natural attacks upon one demon and thanks spending 10m for first cecelyne excelency my anima banner hits 16 for brief moment (and so triggers second and final morph for my mount and my anima power comes into play automatically). I now realized my magical flurry has total 2 attacks until I get further dots for my cult background :P. So I go with normal flurry and flurry penalties.<br/><br/>My daiklave has rate 4 so I take -3 penalty to attacks and as I am counting to be dashing/moving during my flurry it rises to -4 (my mount gives aid/stunt dice from fancy riding on my mount's tail swipe). I use excelency on first and last attack in my flurry and at end of flurry I declare guard other for my mount. I burn also 1 wp for adding valor dot amount of dices to attack pool. So dice pools go;<br/><br/>23 dice first attack<br/>17 dice second attack<br/>16 dice third attack<br/>20 dice to fourth attack<br/><br/>My anima banner gives -1 external penalty to all attacks vs me (physical or social) if you do not spend 5 wp to negate it. Also all coordinated attacks perform requirement is increased by 2. Also my DV is increased by heavy air pressure by +2 and I am immune to all fear based effects. Also if unit checks for rout they make the roll with -2 penalty.<br/><br/>After flurry my parry DV is 6; 8 normal, -4 flurry action pen, +2 from anima power.<br/><br/>Now I reward myself with 2 stunt dice but if this is worth 3 dice stunt the attack then I take XP bonus instead essence motes. I add stunt dice for my first attack as I aim kill at least one of the demons out of the play. I do only the attack dice rolls and I let ST to count my injury vs soak results as he knows how much DV these guys have and how much soak/hardness they got. Base dmg of my daiklave is 9L. I leave ST also roll for my kitty as for now stats of my kitty have disappeared somewhere in my hardrive -_-.<br/><br/><strong>First attack:</strong> 13 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35630) Success, pitiful average but hoping my cat got some hits in (even if they do not cause injury the claw attacks should add some coordination bonus vs one demon to reduce his DV).<br/><br/><strong>Second Attack:</strong> 4 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35631) success! Super pitiful! Demon not impressed with the leap no doubt :P.<br/><br/><strong>Third Attack:</strong> 9 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35632) success! Not bad with 16 dice with no excelency nor stunt dice. Could scratch the demon.<br/><br/><strong>Fourth Attack:</strong> 17 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35633) success! WTF! With this attack I do more than just scratch; I may even seriously injure/kill the bastard depending on DV and armor provided extra soak!<br/><br/>Anyways I know Belar is quite exposed and such I so damn hope I can hold the demons off until others arrive and I hope I killed one the four demons in this assault (altough 17 sux attack could make it two demons or one seriously injured along with 2 intact armored demons). Altough if two demons fall would it not force army roll rout check? Could be funny if Belar routs whole unit this end by himself :P. Could be easier solve the messy mass combat situation to force army withdraw for now as other half worked as distraction anyway. Anyways I pray my excelency dice can purchase parry DV higher as response to attacks and hoping my massive health levels can soak the damage.<br/></div></div>
