It begins: Initial battle with the Black Legion Log

[blacklegion]

Who: The Black Legion, any PC who wants to participate
What: The first assault of the Black Legion
When: 5 August, late morning, throughout the day
Where: All over dagaria


Across Dagaria, as Summer court ends, the morning light does not come. Only darkness, seemingly seeping out of the Rift, can be seen, and hundreds of warriors in battle plate with strange, mad symbols cut into them storm out of it, slaying, burning, and taking slaves. They have come for Zeon, for Amestris, for all the countries of Dagaria. Cities, towns, cathedrals, castles, any structure that stands is being struck at by raving cultists, or the grim, cold precision of corrupt Astartes. They are the Fallen, the traitors, pouring forth from the mouth of hell to howl this phrase with one voice, as their bolters roar, and chainswords grind, "DEATH TO LIFE! DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR."

Dagaria, the Black Legion has come for you, respond as you will.

(Ooc This is all initial attacks, and if you want to individually thread or group thread thats just fine, just let me know in your initial tag so I know how many people I'll be tagging. Feel free to group up or solo fight, but be aware these foes are DEADLY. Mind, this is the initial attack, they haven't engulfed the land. You can fight or escape as you will, and the warbands are fairly small and can be engaged by equal or superior numbers of local troops in any place you choose to fight. Please indicate in your tags to this entry as well WHERE you are fighting, as that will dictate what kind of foes come after you.)

Re: imperial city

[puppy_lancer]

He raises his spear to block. Even so, he can feel the shockwaves from the sheer force of the attack. He's quite thankful he has Gae Bolg back. His wooden spear would have snapped already.

[blacklegion]

The raptor digs its feet, also clawed, into the window's ledge, and tries to smash Cu Chullain back and down onto the ground for a finishing blow, screaming psychotic defiance from distorted lips into his face.

[puppy_lancer]

He braces himself to keep from falling. Holding on to his spear with one hand, he curls his other hand into a fist and throws a punch at the raptor's head.

[blacklegion]

Punching a superhuman with a helmet on in the head is remarkably ineffective, and he continues wrestling with Cu Chullain for control of the spear and the ledge, exerting his significant physical might AND giving a burst of the thrusters to try to smash Cu into the room and through a few walls if need be.

[puppy_lancer]

"Damn."

So physical force didn't work on these guys. He traces the ansuz rune in the air. Maybe a fireburst would get rid of the attacker.

[blacklegion]

Fire blazes all around the Raptor, scalding him, blackening the already dark armor. The raptor stalks towards Cu Chullain, claws crackling with power.

[puppy_lancer]

It's annoy how well the being had withstood his attack so far, but at the same time, it was exciting. However, now that he has an opening, Lancer is switching to the offensive. He steps forward, thrusting with his spear.

[blacklegion]

The spear is more effective, the relic weapon punching through the war-plate and slaying the Raptor swiftly, almost undramatically. It would seem the Emperor's gifts are quite mighty.

[puppy_lancer]

He stares at the corpse of the raptor and nudges it with the point of its spear to ascertain that it truly is dead. That was a little anticlimatic, to say the least.

However, just because the threat in this room is taken care of doesn't mean that there aren't more of those things lurking outside. Without a second thought, Lancer leaps out of the window, intent on looking for more of the black creatures to fight.

[blacklegion]

The hordes seem to be spreading out all over.

[puppy_lancer]

He'll be eagerly diving into the horde, calling out to any of the beings that seem willing to fight him.
