playzooki goes in and tries to find a gun-type thing
-

Twitch though he could see the castle off in the distance, as well as a few other things orbiting in close proximity. His instincts told him the castle was being attacked, and out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the headquarters of the Old Worlds Society. Maybe there would be time for a visit later on, but right now he had to get back to the rest of the group. He kept his head down and bore ahead.Last edited by NFX; 15 June 2014, 16:46.Comment

PLAYZOOKI
The room is literally filled with hundreds of thousands of guns, and so finding a "gun-type thing" is a very easy task. He selects a huge gun at random and takes it out the room. Upon closer inspection, he has:
GNUTECH XL5 "BUFFALO" CANNON Designed as a sonic weapon, the Gnutech "BUFFALO" is a massive powerful blaster of a gun, which, instead of any kind of solid or direct energy ammunition, fires a pulse of sonar energy. Though slow to fire (only once every 15 seconds) it can shred through walls and propel enemies back through the air by a good distance. It was however, a massive commercial failure. Very few self respecting militaries want a weapon that loudly goes MMMOOOOOOOOOOOOO every time it is fired.
As he didn't select a sidearm, a little vending machine by the door dispenses a general one for him.
REDSHIRT DELUXE PISTOL Is a cheap but passably effective weapon that fires a quasi-mystic bolt. The enchantment is of a very cheap variety though, meaning that while perfectly capable of taking down nameless minions and armies of clones or robot or whatnot, it is literally incapable of killing anyone important, even if they are your enemy. Fired against Rage Demon #32423 and it'll take them down easily, but any named character in the proceedings is utterly immune, and will just harmlessly absorb the bullet. When asked how this works, the manufacturers said the following: "mumble mumble Destiny mumble mumble don't really know mumble mumble HEY LOOK A SQUIRREL!" and then run off in the opposite direction.Comment

Twitch continues flying, and eventually the castle comes close enough to see what is going on. He lands on an aerial on an apartment block so he can look closesly - what he sees is a large armada of various ships and beings assembling outside the castle, with more still arriving. The castle itself is protected by numerous shields...
He also notices, that there is a big digital display on one of the ships, suggesting the invasion will being at 2PM "REAL WORLD TIME, whatever that means.Comment

[Sorry for the vanishing act, chaps. Still getting used to the new job. Our Humble Narrator is welcome to bother me on Skype for any updates needed.]
Finally, a worthy opponent! I can tell just from his dulcet honeyed tones.
Well, one thing's certain: if we're about to fight another me, then you lot are in for a world of weird. I may have my morals, but I can be very unpredictable in the battlefield, especially if this is one of those "even eviler" situations. Shatner's beard, you can barely cope being around me apparently!
After a quick jaunt to the armoury, I'm going to figure a way to slip through the oncoming armada and pay a personal visit to my other self for tea and scones. Let's face it, the only person who's capable of talking me out of attacking myself is, well, me. And yes, one or two of you can come along if you're still hung up on the whole trust thing.
Seriously, though, do I really sound like that? Brillo.Comment

Eudial took hold of the weaponry, feeling at the very least a little calmer... but it was not to be. As she re-entered the main chamber she saw Vengeance himself...Originally posted by alex_holt View PostEudial stared in utter disbelief. "So you're just going to abandon us?!" she bellowed. "Or worse, side with... with THEM???" She wanted to be angry, frightfully angry, but the current magnitude of the situation was putting a horrible feeling of dread through her, and she quailed.Originally posted by steven_mcg View PostComment

"...oh, crap..."
Okay, this was bad. The castle was surrounded by an entire army of ships, along with various other creatures who all looked primed and ready to attack. One of the ships claimed that the "invasion"...that was never a good word...would start at 2pm Real World Time. What that meant, he had no idea. More to the point, the castle was surrounded entirely by a number of shields, so there was no way for the macaw to get back in, unless they were closed down.
Twitch needed to do something, though, he couldn't very well sit by and watch while his companions were attacked. But what could he do? After all, he was only a parrot! They had two witches and a demon on their side, plus Vengeance was heralded as some kind of deity. All Twitch had was a pair of wings and a tail. Okay, bits of them were made of metal now...and he had the magnet claw...and a pair of super speed bombs...and an invisibility spell...plus his nigh-impenetrable skull helmet...come to think of it, Twitch seemed reasonably well-equipped, all things considered.
Still, though...an whole fleet against one parrot. Even with the stuff he had, he was still vastly outnumbered. He needed something more substantial, ideally, to get rid of some of the threats. He couldn't get to the castle just yet, but he did have an idea. With very little idea of how much time he actually had to use, Twitch kicked off into the air again, and began bearing down on the Old Worlds Society he had passed moments ago. Perhaps they could help in some way.Comment

Aurelia turns to her guests, the water-women as well as the donkey.
"Guests of Aurelia, I offer you the choice, fight or hide. You are my guests and I took you here for your protection, so if you desire I shall dedicate a part of my Spanish Inquisition to ensure your safety (OOC, these will be my newest recruits, Voxel, Shandra, the trio of Vlobeths and mr Rayner, who I have all given a generic dagger off panel). However, if you have even modest fighting abilities, I shall guarantee you that under my guidance you shall rise above yourselves. If you decide to fight on our sides, I want you to go to my room and arm yourselves with the daggers you will find there."
"George, nearing this climax my mind wandered back to the start of this adventure and the help I received of Caspasian, member of the Trillionth Trans-Solar Host. I feel it'd be only fitting if I arm myself with a main weapon and a side arm connected to him or his fellow Host members..."Comment

Marisa was starting to feel more nervous about the entire situation. Not so much the prospect of having to fight -- she was used to that, and you can always loot corpses after the conflict is over! -- but just the sheer number of the guys outside.
She called over her faithful candyflossy and petted it absentmindedly, concidering her options, before noticing the return of Vengance (seriously, where the heck was that guy? :P ) and Eudial.
"Naaah, guy probably just wants to talk to himself. I mean, I can understand, I'd wanna talk to myself too, ze, it isn't often you meet someone THAT cool, right?" She said, half jokingly, "That said though, that guy is probably bad news, even for you. Though I'd guess you'd know best since he is you but eviler or something. Do whatever you like, I'm gonna stay here and at least make sure we can try to keep the rifty crap away from that guy."Eudial stared in utter disbelief. "So you're just going to abandon us?!" she bellowed. "Or worse, side with... with THEM???" She wanted to be angry, frightfully angry, but the current magnitude of the situation was putting a horrible feeling of dread through her, and she quailed.
She glanced over at Eudial, winking. "We should get everyone else in here together, talk about how we're going to blast them into next week. I'm not giving up THAT easy."
"AND YOU." She pointed at Vengance, "If you let in any baddies when you go to leave I'm going to force feed you ALL of my nasty mushrooms at once! Even the bag!"
Marisa shook the soggy paper bag at him to prove her point. Of course she had worse plans for him if he let in a bunch, but the soggy mushroom bag made for a good starting point, at least.Comment

GEORGE:
Attack soon to commence: tactical information at present rate:
CURRENT ENERGY ALOCATION:
Castle Flight: 30%
Shields: 30%
Teleport Jammer: 10%
Iron Golems x 2: 10%
Sentry Turrets x 2: 10%
Phasers x 2: 10%
STATUS: All sides of the Castle are re-enforced using Quantum bonding technology - it is impossible to damage the Mountainous base of the castle. Assault will take place therefore on the Castle itself. Turrets will make direct assault on the castle very difficult for infantry, therefore they will disembark near the edges and cross on foot or other appendage to reach the castle.
Following this route, your defenses are thus:
The OUTER WALLS are made of a vibranium rich stone, and are unlikely to be directly broken soon, but could be in a prolonged battle, it has turrets that can be attacked from, but if the MAIN OUTER GATE (made of Sapient Pearwood, will not willingly admit hostiles) is broken, you will be unable to get back to the main keep on foot and will be on your own. Behind this, there is a DEEP MOAT dug deep into the mountain, with a single bridge to cross, also made of the vibranium rich mineral. The INNER WALLS and INNER GATE are connected to the Castle, so attacking from here would allow retreat, and there are two heavy towers connecting to the bridge.
Beyond that is the INNER COURTYARD - where the Timesplitting Oak is growing, and then, several entrances into the castle itself.
The bridge and inner courtyard are your bottlenecks but should they get past that, you are in trouble.
SCANNERS INDICATE FIRST WAVE OF ENEMIES WILL BE:
50 Skeleton Warriors with shotguns
A phalanx of 20 Goblin gun-spearmen
2 Giant Mechaboars (with rocket firing turrets)
A Necro-engineer who ressurects the skeleton
A Titanic Ghost Tortoise - it's ghostly form works like a force field.
AURELIA
The Spanish Inquisition members instructed to protect the civilians head down to some rooms to fortify them and make ready, while Aurelia goes to select her weapons. After a quick search through the armoury, Aurelia manages to find two more weapons that look decidedly of Trans-Solar Host design, to compliment the sunsword she already has:
TRANS-SOLAR LONGBOW - A mightly bow that is incredible tough, but looks like it is spun from a mesh of delicate golden filigree. It needs no arrows, but when drawn, fires forth a bolt on sunfire that hits like a meteorite of purest solar flame.
TRANS-SOLAR SHIELD - Made of the same golden filgiree as the bow, this shield glows with celestial radiance, blinding any foe who strikes it.

After descending downwards to the Courtyard in the Centre of the the building the Old-Worlds Society, he finds the Society Assembled before him: Spodra, the Night Pine, the Botanist and the Catalyst. They destinctly give the impression of having been waiting for him. He also notices another figure who wasn't there previously, a woman whose skin is as black as night and studded with pinpricks of light as if she herself is made of stars...
VENGEANCE
(OOC: This was a pick your own item armoury, so I'll give you two items that are the sort of things that Vengeance might pick, and if you want something different let me know and I'll retcon it :P)
Vengeance quickly peruses the armory and locates:
AN EXQUISITE WAR CANE Made by Luthor and VonDoom's of London, this War Cane is possibly the most expensive villain cane that even Vengeance has ever seen: Star-ebony wood, topped with the ivory of a Heaven-mammoth and the most perfect opal that Vengeance has ever seen. The makers are clearly master craftsmen, every detail hand made. All standard fuctions are just perfect - the helicopter function is perfectly balanced, designed for smooth flight and the sound is more of a pur. The hidden blade is a slender rapier of dragon forged unobtanium which extends with a silky noise and the laser has three discreet inset golden bands that can be rotated to control different settings - one for power ranging from warm your pillows at night to disintegrate, one controls radius from pinprick to meter diamter column and the last controls energy type with settings including the whole spectrum of coloured hot lasers, a cold laser and a sonic blast. It is truely, an obect of beauty.
TOP-HAT-DRONE Also by Luthor and VonDoom, this is an immaculate hat for a proper gentleman villain with some added bonuses. In addition to the standard razor edge for throwing and some secret compartments, it can, in a pinch, be thrown into the air to activate it as a flying support drone - two spindly robotic arms with powerful laser blasters extend out of the hat and follow the wearers basic commands like "FOLLOW", "DEFEND", "KILL", "COVERING FIRE" and "NUDGE INTO SHARK TANK"
After selecting these, Vengeance prepares to travel over to the main ship...Comment

"You guys!" the parrot squawked, swooping down amongst them, both looking and sounding rather more frantic than usual, "We've got a problem! I mean, a really, properly big problem!" Twitch then began to explain the situation to the Old Worlds Society with a great deal of exasperated gestures: capturing Doomforall and putting him in the tree, defeating the Death of VHS, the whole affair with Titanicman and Sally Streater (who was still with the group), his experience after blowing the conch shell, the armada surrounding the castle, along with the fact he couldn't communicate with them, or get back inside.
"We need to do something about all the ships and stuff," the frenzied macaw continued, "Or the castle's gonna get blown out of the sky, and everyone on board's gonna die! Can you help us at all?!"Comment

Phantasmic Slammer picks out a spear for his main weapon and a small pistol for his side arm. His reasoning for this is so he can supplement his ramming power with the spear and have a ranged attack with the pistol.Comment

OOC: I probably don't actually remember everything that was discussed yesterday online, so I'm going to go with what I do. You are capable of posting your own updates from that stuff :P
AURELIA and the OTHER INHABITANTS OF THE CASTLE
Aurelia tries to negotiate with Other-Vengeance, by standing on the rooftop and address and Koopa with a camera and screen, but Other-Vengeance seems to reject any negotiation. HOWEVER it does seem fairly clear that, he doesn't know who this Last Rift Wielder is.
After this, Aurelia goes round and checks the following characters to see if they are the wielder of the rift.
Anjushree, Phantasmic Slammer, Marisa, Playzooki, Kelpsie, Kelpsie's Mum, all of the Spanish Inquisition, the Demon in the Dungeon, Meander and Sally Streater all answer they are not lying.
Eudial is not lying when she answers it could possibly be her.
Epsilon and Vengeance have yet to be asked, and Katia: Mistress of Kung Shrew is around somewhere but cannot currently be found.
LELAND GAUNT
Acquires through strange means, a Distractingly Adorable Puppy, that is so cute that people just stare at it and become easily suggestable (though within limits, it has to be something that that character might do anyway) and it can also difuse fights if your opponent sees it. It works on blind beings (it makes very cute little squeaks) but not on non-sentient creatures or non organic things.
PHANTASMIC SLAMMER
TWELTH DIMENSIONAL SPEAR - A strange weapon from the twelth dimension - in its own dimension, it works as a normal spear, but here, it exhibits some unusual properties: it can curve round things to hit targets behind them, but without actually physically curving itself (it's reality that curves around the spear) and it can delay a strike in time by a few seconds, so if you stab the air, then someone walks into that space a few seconds later, they while be hit.
CAPSULE PISTOL While it can fire bullets, it comes with selection of special capsule ammunition, which are devices compressed using Pym particles which expand upon being fired. These are: 5 x Net Capsules, 5 x Bolas capsules, 5 x Shrapnel bast Capsules and 10 x Comedy Custard Pie Capsules.

"Right! Vengancier is knocking on the door because someone here is wielding rift, and he himself doesn't even know who. Each of you, tell me if as far as you know you are the one who wields rift, my truth dagger will do the rest"
"No."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"No."
"Maybe."
"No."
"No."
...
"No."
... Eudial was the one saying maybe... the dagger isn't detecting any lies... they all genuinely think they are riftless... except for Eudial!
"SLEAZY LOOKING DEMON! You shapeshifting demon you. I will allow you to walk out of this castle, but only if you transform into Eudial... if you can't impersonate the voice let my singing lessons smoothen your throat for the benefit of your impersonation. Walk out of the castle... and admit to the ones waiting for you there that you wield rift!"Comment
