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.)

She stared as they basically melted from her attack. However, as the next wave followed behind the first she had to start moving again to avoid being hit as they fired back at her. When getting openings while dodging around the air, leaving a red contrail in her wake, she'd return fire back at them.

[blacklegion]

The armored brutes don't melt easily, the sky filling with fire that is crimson and black, seemingly impelled by pure hate. They roar their rage as they empty their cartridge-fueled guns.

She kept up her attack, dodging the return fire. The appearance alone told her she didn't want to get hit. She tried turning up the power of her energy blasts, knowing she could and at the moment not caring that if she wasn't careful she could use up her energy.

[blacklegion]

Warriors come for her, propelled on wings of foul, sputtering flame into the air, trying to catch and kill the annoying flying blaster. The raptors are now upon her.

[curiouseyes]

"X'hal!" She hadn't been expecting that! She speeds up to keep ahead of them and not let them catch her. She turns to face any that might be following her and fires at them, aiming for the wings to try and bring them down. The only problem is she temporarily is not watching where she is going.

[blacklegion]

Some of them are sent shrieking to the ground, but still more alight into the sky, trying to surround her and catch her in a crossfire.

[curiouseyes]

How many of them were there? There were just so many of them. Well, just shooting them down may not help. She has to take them down completely. She just barely dodges a blast that comes from the direction she's traveling and fires at the offending creature before returning fire at the rest of them. She sees them trying to block her in so she's trying to keep moving so they can and leave an outlet above her.

[blacklegion]

Another raptor falls, the the rest retire, seemingly tiring of the sport. Once starfire lands, she can see why more fully. Many locals are now missing, or dead. It would seem the black legion came for slaves, loot, and the joy of destruction.

[curiouseyes]

She watched as they left, wondering what had happened, but as soon as she landed she saw why, left in shock at what they had done. She curses under her breath at the fact she had gotten so distracted to let that happen. She will try and see if there is anything she could do to help while keeping watch to see if there were anymore around.
