Chapter 0: Harmony (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=163841.msg7429551#msg7429551)
"Heat and cold, shadow and light, sword and shield, lightning and thunder. Always in tandem. Always together. Never one...."
"....without the other."
".....to do this is folly. We are twain, Discord and Harmony. The world cannot thrive without balance."
"What a fool you are, to think balance remains between Discord and Harmony. There has been disquiet already. You know what comes."
A brief pause, as the two presences faced each other, in a world above worlds, beyond perception and beyond knowing. One presence, golden and serene, the very seeming of Harmony, the other its antithesis, a formless mass of primordial nothing.
"No."
"I can make this right. I can fix this. Please, do not stop me."
The golden presence shied away, but the formlessness of her invader enshrouded her.
"N-no. Please. Do not do this. You know this is not-"
"I know nothing anymore, Harmony. All I know is that this balance cannot remain. Not if I am to achieve what I wish."
"There are better ways. Always better-"
"Not for what I desire."
The formlessness surrounded the golden presence, attempting to swallow her within itself. A golden flash, and then nothing more.

The Halls of Harmony
The last thing you remember is a bright flash of golden light. Wherever you were, whoever you are, whenever you were, it doesn't matter. The last thing that you saw was a golden flash of light, and then you knew nothing.
As you awaken, you awaken upon a large marble dais. Specifically, a large, ornate marble dais, with patterns of a beautiful lady in white painted across the floor. Dilapidated pillars line the dais, side by side, three on each side, as the realization hits you that this place is some sort of temple. Or was; it doesn't look like one anymore. The one thing that seems unusual is the giant pair of ivory doors, lined with gold, with two door knockers in the shape of lion's heads mounted on it. The doors do not seem to lead anywhere in particular; they stand just to the end of the dais, with no visible destination.
A dirt path leads to a staircase at the bottom of the dais, streaming from a nearby town, which appears to be nothing more than a collection of small cottages and shacks. Tiny chimneys pump small plumes of smoke into the air above the village. A strong presence seems to exude from the door, regal and warm, more akin to a queen than a mother.
It is midday. The sun is high in the sky. The air is quiet, and the atmosphere peaceful.
Fort
Turn One
Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
Tanis' voice and hands summon a thunderstorm to wail on the orcs within the fort. The soldiers attempt to dive for cover as the clouds form over their heads, the rumbling sounds of magical thunder filling their ears. Lightning sparks between the clouds in an unnatural pattern, as if searching for an enemy to kill. Thunderbolts strike downwards towards the ground, striking several soldiers asunder. Three are downed by direct hits with lightning bolts, another four singed by the blasts. The rest take position as best they can afterwards; they are soldiers, even if the magic thunderstorm is beating down on them. It helps that Scrak himself remains in position, unbothered by the mayhem.
>No magic on your targets, Hector, not that I can recognise.<
Ryuko, with speed unexpected of a woman her age, size and apparent training, suddenly whips out a taser, watching it fizzle with electricity for a few seconds.
"M-Mister Tanis, I am s-so sorry about this...."
As the orc ambushers advance upon the two, she presses the taser to her neck, shocking herself unconscious on her feet. The orc troopers are only fazed for a few seconds; they could ask questions later, when these fools had been slain.
They probably should've asked questions first.
Within the next instant, a powerful plume of heat surges outwards from Ryuko, staggering the orcs and enshrouding her in mist from flash-boiled water vapour. Nobunaga can sense this as a massive spike in thermal energy on Ryuko's position.
When the smoke clears, what is standing there is not Ryuko Inui.
What IS standing in her place is a much taller woman, almost a foot taller. Her presence is rather intimidating; her build seems more akin to a predator, like a cheetah or a lion, than an athlete, and just looking at her seems to inspire the seeds of fear. Whatever Ryuko has become, it looks, but is almost certainly not human.
This is instantly confirmed by her arm shooting out faster than the eye can blink, reaching for the throat of the nearest ambusher and crushing it with her hand. The orc barely manages to pull away fast enough to avoid having his throat ripped asunder, but does not avoid having his chest caved in with a single punch from the definitely-practiced follow-up strike with her other hand, the sickening noise of broken bones filling their ears as the orc collapses to the ground, clutching its chest and probably badly injured internal organs. Another of the pair attempts to move, only to be sent sprawling by a spray of bullets to its back. Nothing vital, but enough to hurt the guy. He pulls himself to his feet with a grunt, his orcish constitution allowing him to tank such wounds.
Behind him, Hector's gun smokes as he sprints for the nearest cover. Of course, the sensor aided his shot and Ryuko's sudden transformation helped his slightly off-target burst, but running in the swamp is another thing entirely. He is bogged down, barely able to reach cover and stumbling onto a bush that barely provides concealment, let alone cover. Luckily, the remaining ambushers seem more concerned with avenging their companion on Ryuko and Tanis than they are chasing Hector. He remains unseen for the moment, but if he stays out there, he won't much longer.
As for Tanis and Ryuko, they now have a pair of ambushers on them, one somewhat hurt and the other completely fine. And very much enraged that Ryuko just maimed their teammate.
Florida, of course, sees all this as he sneaks up onto the top of the recess. As he tries to sneak up top, however, he stumbles on his way up to the lip of the recess, landing in a very vulnerable position; as in, with his back to the fort and very much exposed to being shot. Indeed, Florida is very lucky; he hears the whistle of a few arrows brush past his head, the head of one planting itself in the ground barely a hair's breadth away from his head.
Nobunaga, meanwhile, is less surprised by the chaos. Standing with Sera and Angelo, he utilises his abilities to form shields- generic tower shields, even- around himself, which several arrows find themselves embedded in. Sera, meanwhile, sprints towards Ryuko and Tanis, several arrows whistling through the air and landing not far behind her.
Angelo is the only one who attempts to fire back, hurling magical blasts at the orcs on the walls. However, his random blasts entirely fail to hit many of the orcs at all, instead fizzling out harmlesly on the ramparts.
This leaves him entirely open to Scrak, who, lining up a shot with practiced aim, looses an arrow as easily as squashing a bug.
Angelo is knocked to the ground by the force of the arrow as it embeds itself into his leg, digging into bone and crippling him until the arrow is removed and he can heal himself! Rallied by their leader's skill, the remaining soldiers regain their spirit after the initial shock of the thunderstorm. Indeed, Sera, Nobunaga and Angelo are suddenly keenly aware of the fact that three of the remaining orcs on the walls are aiming arrows directly at them. Retaliation or cover might be the best course of action.
Meanwhile, one of the more heavily armored troops on the wall extends a hand and mutters something under his breath, causing an orb of darkness to extend around him and many of the troops, covering much of the wall and blocking Tanis and Ryuko's line of sight to Scrak. Another heals a nearby wounded ally, pulling him up.
>I still have a lock on them if necessary, though your teammates should have sensors in the area that will do better. The ones with heavier armor appear to be their medics and possibly the ones who bloked out vision. Focus your fire on them if possible.<

Your first rolls all sucked except for Tanis, Ryuko and Nobunaga. Hector only got a good shot in due to Aim Assist and also shooting them in the back. Angelo was even more unfortunate; he took a 5 from Scrak, which actually boosted all of his allies.
Some Will expenditure will probably help at this point.
Turn Two
~Battle Theme: March to Deliverance~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk3TM2jbe8)
Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
The magical thunderstorm continues to rage, with three bolts landing. Two wound their targets, throwing them asunder from the force of the blast. One hits its mark particularly well; so well, in fact, that they collapse on the spot, completely and literally electrified by the blast!
Tanis attempts to make his monster grow, so to speak, and cast a spell of magical growth on his cheetah. However, there must still be some residual interference in the air, because the spell fails to take at all, instead causing Tanis and his mount to be staggered temporarily by the pain of the backlash. The healthier ambusher attempts to rush Tanis, but even in his dazed state, Tanis manages to yank his mount out of the way in time, causing the ambusher to tumble past him, before charging at him in retaliation. His lance grazes the orc's exposed back, drawing blood and wounding them.
The large monster of an orc whips around with a sword to try to catch Tanis on the backswing in response, only to be bumrushed by Sera's glaive. They barely have enough room to evade Sera's slash, taking the blade straight to their arm as Sera uses the combination of her strength and the glaive to swing the orc between her and the fort, before pushing herself back towards Tanis. Now intensely furious, the orc attempts to catch them both with a wide slash; staying in the way will most certainly hurt, but he doesn't make it too difficult to dodge.
As for his poor companion, the other ambusher attempts to charge at Ryuko with a blade out, hacking at her in a desperate attempt to strike her before their companion notices her. His blade finds no such purchase as Ryuko catches his arm as his sword swings over her head, her other arm hefting the much taller orc up with ease. With a bloodthirsty roar, Ryuko smashes her unfortunate victim into the weakspot she'd identified.
The sickening sound of bone breaking against wood, followed by the less sickening noise of wooden trunks shattering fills their ears as Ryuko smashes a hole into the fort, her inhuman eyes peering through the darkness as if it weren't there, discarding her expended impromptu battering ram with a casual, almost flippant motion. Unfortunately for her, orcs see equally well in the dark and, unlike most amateurs, are well-trained enough to react on the turn of a dime, and one looses an arrow straight into her shoulder. Ryuko growls as she stumbles back, glaring at her shooter as her attacker nocks the next arrow.
Hector, meanwhile, uses his sensors to catch out those hiding in the darkness. He notes three potential targets as he carefully makes his way to a better position; two are mounted on the walls, two wounded already by thunderbolts. Whatever interference was blinding his sensors seems to be gone, as he detects no blindspots. As for cover, he manages to find a nice alcove; a pair of rocks and a bush close enough to the fort, a straight shot into the hole Ryuko just made. He can just make out one magic user through the darkness using his sensor; it'll be a difficult shot, but he might make it.
Florida, meanwhile, refuses to be cowed! Through sheer willpower, he manages to scrabble to the top of the recess, stumbling into a spot upon the lip with tall enough grass and enough stones to keep him completely hidden. He also has a perfect view straight into the fort. Perfect for a sniper like himself, of course.
Nobunaga, still protected by shields, attempts to fire back at Scrak, mentally tracing his shot through the darkness. Firing back with his projected weapon, Nobunaga ignores the occasional arrow smacking futilely into his shield as he returns the favour, blasting a white-hot projectile into the darkness.
Of course, the problem with white-hot projectiles that glow hot enough to see through the darkness is that it works both ways.
Indeed, the projectile misses its mark, barely scuffing Scrak's foot as the orc warlord staggers back, avoiding the heat of the blast with scarce enough time to react. The projectile's trail, however, manages to pierce the darkness enough that a few of the orcs hidden by it are revealed, however briefly. Perhaps it might be a good time to try again.
Scrak, unfazed by the projectile, calmly turns his bow towards Ryuko. With practiced calm, he looses another arrow towards the girl, who barely evades the shot as it opens up her right sleeve, opening up a cut on her arm. Ryuko hisses in retaliation, yanking the other arrow out of her shoulder with a bestial growl. Had anyone been looking any closer, of course, one would notice that her wounds are beginning to close, the ends of the wounds beginning to scab over and the scabs falling away to reveal scarless, unblemished skin.
Meanwhile, within the fort, the orcs attempt to regroup, pulling back closer as their numbers dwindle, gathering closer and closer to their leader. The clerics try to tend to their wounded as much as possible, as a few retreat from the walls to cover the gaping hole Ryuko has just made.

Kumo remains on the wall, gazing around as Crocoite enters the compound, gazing into the darkness for any sign of movement. Mircea, Leonidas and Miyu remain outside, the former pacing the area on horseback as the other two remain closer to the entrance.
A moment passes.
The sound of a blade cutting steel rings out as the gate lowers to the compound with a slam.
Crocoite is trapped inside, Leonidas and Miyu barely being able to evade the gate as it crashes down. Kumo can still get inside through the top, and it might indeed be useful, as skittering sounds begin once more. Crocoite and Kumo, in the darkness of the canopy, can barely make out the outlines of the creatures, which appear to be spider-like in shape, made of some reflective, transparent substance like glass. The largest of the creatures, Crocoite may recognise.
It is the entity known as the Silicate Stalker.
Outside, Mircea, Leonidas and Miyu have only seconds more as warning, as the trees and bushes part around them, ten skittering shapes emerging and surrounding the group.
>Be careful. Stay close and do not get swarmed.<
"What are these creatures? Tch, no matter! You lead the way, my comrades! You know these better than I!"
The Silicate Stalker may talk.
Mircea is under player control. Designate an action for Mircea to execute.

~Battle Theme: March to Deliverance~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk3TM2jbe8)
Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
The magical thunderstorm resumes raging, but the energy behind it is beginning to fade, presumably due to the larger-than-average amount of bolts it's been throwing down. Or the residual interference of whatever the weapon was mounted it is screwing with it, as evidenced by its absolute failure to hit anyone....except Scrak himself. Caught off-guard by once, the bolt strikes Scrak directly, staggering the orc and sending him backwards. Though not too hurt, it's pretty clear that the bolt hurt very hard, yanking himself to a prepared stance and with his eye towards Ryuko, who continues eyeing him with a predatory glare. The thunderclouds, having done their job, subside.
....which is perfect timing for Hector, because, managing to time his shot just right to eliminate the cleric hiding up on the walls, does so with perfect timing and aim, acting in tandem with the environment. His gun snaps to around the right spot with practiced, unnatural speed, releasing a burst of bullets straight into the centre of mass; the head would be too small, but the body would likely be easier to pierece. The cleric falls to the ground from a spray of bullets, his wounds seared by the ignition rounds as they burn their way through what remains of his divine power, to continue fighting as his allies yank him to safety. A few arrows land near Hector, one dangerously close to his face, but none manage to hit him.
Tanis and Sera, meanwhile, face off against the remaining ambusher. His wide swing is easily evaded by the swift cyborg girl, who manages to duck beneath and slash at his legs. The wounded orc tumbles forwards straight into Tanis, who, seeing a perfect opportunity, manages to stab upwards with his lance and finish the orc off, throwing him onto his back into the muddy, damp ground of the marsh. The pitiful groan emerging from his mouth as he rolls around and clutches his wounds tells you he's not likely to get up soon. Sera, satisfied with the defeat of their enemy, begins heading deeper into the fort, passing through the wall Ryuko bashed open.
The monster that was Ryuko, meanwhile, releases an inhuman scream- somewhere between a roar and what appears to be a laugh- and yanks the arrow from her shoulder, blood trailing from the cut as the wound begins to seal shut, as if it had never happened. Still screeching, Ryuko leaps onto the nearest orc with a hateful yell, her hands a flurry of deadly rage. However, her rage blinds her as her hands clutch at thin air, the orc managing to tumble back and draw a club to try and bat her away, swatting at her. His attempt, however, is even more of a failure than Ryuko's, and his swipe goes wide as the girl yanks herself back, a bloodthirsty gleam in her eyes.
Florida takes advantage of the chaos caused by his allies to line up and take a perfect shot at Scrak's head.
A single breath taken. The trigger is pulled.
The laser burst lands straight on Scrak's forehead, causing the orc to fall over with a scream. What may surprise Florida, however, is that unlike most victims of such a well-executed shot, Scrak manages to pull himself to his feet, shaking his head, clearly dazed and very hurt, but not dead yet. Florida manages to yank himself back as several arrows fired by Scrak's allies converge upon his position, kicking up small bits of dust as they land harmlessly away from him.
Nobunaga, dissatisfied with his earlier attempt at raining hellfire on the warlord, attempts to follow up on Florida's shot by firing at him over the wall, shooting once. His shot still falls far and wide, despite the warlord being dazed by Florida's assault, but Nobunaga, prepared, shoots where Scrak moves, searing a hole into the orc's shoulder.
Infuriated by the shot and dizzied by the sniper's attack, Scrak makes an attempt at attacking Nobunaga, showing a display of sheer will to do so. Notching an arrow into his bow, Scrak takes careful aim, steadying himself despite his injuries, before loosing an arrow with such force as to break Nobunaga's shields, piercing the man's shoulder and sending Nobunaga staggering backwards, such is the force of his shot. His men, despite the damage dealt to them by the others, are rallied to battle once more.
The remaining clerics resume patching up the wounds of their remaining comrades as they fire back with their bows. Ryuko being the most exposed, takes a bit of fire as another arrow pierces her stomach. She, however, doesn't seem so bothered by it, simply yanking it out with a grunt as that wound too begins to close unnaturally fast. Sera has an arrow soar towards her, but manages to evade it so quickly that Tanis barely has time to evade it, taking it straight to the arm. Hector and Florida are safely in cover, the arrows barely even reaching them, but Nobunaga is less fortunate as another arrow cuts a hole open on his arm as it skims past.

As discussed on the Discord, only the Champion can land the final blow on their respective Fiend. It makes for more drama that way. If you'd like to make a different arrangement however, feel free to discuss it with me.
As for Scrak, his Dazed state means he'll be less likely to successfully counterattack or be able to land ranged attacks. However, that won't apply with his Will-boosted attacks.
Turn One
Battle Theme ~Teleglitch Track 2~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTg4S5bPevw)
Objective: Rout all enemies.
Miyu's presence seems to inspire the Blessed Emperor and the Dragoneer alike, boosting their speed. Even Mircea's horse is seemingly inspired, too.
"Then I shall attack first!"
With a loud roar, Mircea charges headlong into the group of approaching glass-like creatures upon his horse. A golden aura seems to surround him as he does so, empowering everyone nearby as his horse speeds up, before smashing his lance directly into one of the spiders. Despite its speed, it fails to dodge Mircea's attack and is almost instantly obliterated, shattering into tiny pieces against the emperor's mighty strike.
Leonidas follows suit, attacking another spider that attempts to crawl up onto Mircea from behind. His swipe catches the creature from behind, annihilating it in one strike as his strength is far too much for the fragile construct to withstand. He does feel as if his swipe was a little bit off target, however. Targeting another one, Leonidas is however too slow to do anything about it before Mircea turns around and impales it on his own spear, the sheer power of the impact destroying it in one blow. It seems that the two men are rather too strong for such feeble opponents.
Another spider crawls up onto Miyu, swiping at her in an attempt to hit her. However, her enhanced speed allows her to evade it, retaliating with a powerful slash, bisecting the creature entirely. Miyu remains cool as the halves of her would-be attacker fall over, shattering into transparent shards on the ground.
Crocoite hardens his armor, forming up a bulwark to avoid being damaged. Which, indeed, proves to be shortly necessary as every spider in the room proceeds to slash and claw at the Chrome Conqueror. The Silicate Stalker, predicting its enemy's move, sharpens its claws and slashes through Crocoite's armor, scratching his hard carapace. The hole opened in his defenses allows the rest to break in, slowly but surely chipping away at Crocoite as their numbers and pure strength wear at him.
The spiders outside, having had several of their number downed already, are more careful, grouping up on people instead of scattering. Miyu manages to get away fast enough, but Mircea and Leonidas are pressed almost back-to-back, Radu barely managing to make enough room to circle in place. The spider-like creatures leap upwards at Mircea, who manages to swat one away but is beset upon by the other two, whose talons cleave at the gaps in his armor, drawing blood from deep wounds. Leonidas is luckier, managing to push two of them away and only taking several cuts across his arms.
The sounds of even more skittering emerge from the forest.
>I sense there are more of them coming. You only have a while to prepare for their arrival, so brace yourselves.<

Mircea hit before Leonidas because of his higher Mobility score focused on faster movement and the boost provided by Emperor's Entrance. Leonidas thus didn't get a chance to use the follow-up either because both of them are strong enough to instantly kill the spiders without them being able to counter-attack.
On one hand, the spiders will basically die in one hit to everyone because they have piddling defense. However, if they swarm on you, they will do rather heavy damage, especially if a lot of them attack you at once, so do try to kill as many of them as possible.
Also, reinforcements will run out if you manage to kill enough of the spiders, hence fulfilling the routing part. Just try to survive until then ^__^
Turn Four
~Battle Theme: March to Deliverance~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk3TM2jbe8)
Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
Hector, spurred on by sheer will, wrenches himself off the ground and starts sprinting for cover, shooting off several bursts of ammo to cover himself. Indeed, many of the remaining archers duck to avoid the bursts of bullets, and Hector arrives at the nearest cover, a small grove of trees, without incident. It is rather well-hidden from enemies, but the angle makes it hard to actually shoot them without a bit of trickery or good aim.
Meanwhile, roots and vines erupt from the ground, as Tanis casts a spell of entangling vines to catch their enemies. Most of the orcs still on the wall escape being captured, as do Scrak and a few of his goons, but the rest are trapped by vines, yanked to the ground and held tight for the group to have at. Sera takes advantage of this by attacking the remaining cleric, who can't move! Her attack manages to smash straight through his armour, wounding him as he slumps to the ground, unable to fight.
Ryuko continues her rampage as she turns on her now-entangled opponent, eyes wide in fear as they attempt to remove themselves. No such event occurs as Ryuko, with sheer willpower, smashes her fist directly into their chest. A sickening crunch is heard and the orc slumps, screaming in agony from its now-broken ribs as Ryuko turns away to find another opponent, her accumulated wounds beginning to fully mend.
A hail of laser shots fly out as Florida's trained eye rains red death upon the now-trapped orcs, taking one out after the other. Almost all the entangled victims are taken down with a shot to the head, Florida's time fighting aliens having prepared him well for battles with orcs. A hail of arrows meets him in retaliation, but far too little are launched and they simply scatter around his shelter, getting nowhere near him.
Nobunaga attempts to make a throw with his mechanism, staggering as he does so. The pain must have made it difficult to aim, because his shot only goes so far, landing not far away from him and far away from his real target. He barely manages to shield himself with his uninjured arm before the depleted device explodes in front of him, showering him with shrapnel but not significantly hurting him. Another arrow is launched at the scientist, but he manages to evade that one quickly, throwing the remaining device he had attempted to hurl at the offending cleric at them. This attempt is more successful, as the cleric he hits is knocked over, wounded badly by the fall and the explosion.
Scrak spots the rampaging Ryuko and attempts to land another arrow on her to no avail, as she simply evades it with a slight movement of the head. Ryuko attempts to retaliate by leaping at him, but Scrak, despite his possible concussion, is able to counter by grabbing her mid-leap and throwing her aside into the fort wall with a roar, his heavy frame managing to catch her despite her increased strength and size.
The remaining soldiers attempt to regroup, staying clear of the vines and attempting to surround the now-encircled Ryuko. One of the two orcs protecting Scrak, having successfully evaded everything up to this point through luck or skill, start advancing towards Ryuko to hack her apart, while one soldier attempts to yank the remaining cleric up to safety. The other soldier launches an arrow at Sera, who manages to evade it by the skin of her teeth.

In the Zone managed to get every single entangled enemy because they were all in perfect position for Florida to Headshot instantly. Thank him for making your job easier.
You could all bumrush Scrak now, as the goal IS to kill Scrak rather than to rout.
Turn Two
Battle Theme ~Teleglitch Track 2~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTg4S5bPevw)
Objective: Rout all enemies.
"These glass creatures are but a trifle!"
Mircea crushes one spider that climbed upon him upon his fist, hurling the other one away from him as he charges a path back through the spiders, once more empowering his allies. The spiders attempt to keep pace with him as he gets back to the rest of the group, but his steed is far too quick and his lance even quicker, as the fastest one is shattered upon contact with a fierce stab with Perun.
Leonidas follows in Mircea's wake, shattering another two spiders with black flames, his wounds fuelling his strength. The remaining spiders shy away from the two men as they make it back to the group, gathering and waiting for their allies to arrive while skittering close enough to remain a threat.
Kumo descends onto the group outside, blood flowing into her Kamui as she begins lashing out at the nearest enemies to Mircea. She, of course, fails to do so, Mircea having managed to get clear of the enemies and Leonidas having slain any stragglers, but her help is much appreciated.
Crocoite releases a wave of electricity, shoving the spiders back that are attacking him. However, the Stalker and two others manage to escape his shock by climbing across the walls before leaping onto his back, rending his metal carapace with deeper and deeper wounds.
Five more glass spiders appear, ready to fight alongside their allies as they begin to encircle the group outside.
The sounds of even more skittering emerge from the forest.
>Another wave is coming. Be ready<
Reinforcements for the enemy will arrive in one turn.

Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
>They're running low in ammunition and numbers, so they lack the capability to pull any more volleys. As they say, run wild.
And indeed Hector does, with the poise of a predator waiting to strike. It doesn't take him long before he heads to the opening Ryuko carved into the wall, enemies all in sight and in range for him to take out with a burst of fire. He manages to meet up with Sera and Tanis, having full view of the chaos inside.
Tanis' body swells with strength as he casts a spell on himself to increase his power, charging at Scrak with the strength of a bull, filled with righteous rage at the man who had caused him so much pain. A jetpack appears on his back to boost his speed as Nobunaga, sprinting towards him to join his allies spawns his prototype point-defense device. The orc warlord seems to brace himself, otherwise not seeming particularly fazed by Tanis' declaration.
Ryuko wrenches herself to her feet, bloodlust and rage in her once-innocent eyes as she tackles the bodyguard advancing upon her, despite being somewhat staggered by the assault. The bodyguard fails to duck aside in time, surprised by how quickly the girl pulled herself to her feet, and Ryuko's hand rips through him like a hot knife through butter, a splatter of orcish blood painting Ryuko's cheek as she thrusts him back, clutching the wound torn in the side of his chest.
A blast of red light strikes him in the center of mass as Florida finishes off Ryuko's attacker, the orc falling back with a pained yelp as smoke sizzles from his burned chest, the sniper having taken the opportunity his ally opened. The girl's wounds continue sealing up, almost as if nothing had ever happened to her as the last of her wounds disappear, with nary a blemish to reveal her injuries.
Sera charges the other bodyguard as quickly as she can. Surprisingly, the remaining bodyguard catches her charge, managing to intercept her with his own weapon and locking her down. Sera, however, is far swifter and defter despite her opponent matching her strength, and she swipes the weapon out of his arms through pure leverage, leaving him fumbling for a spare.
Scrak nocks another arrow, aiming at Tanis as he charges at him. His arrow, however, flies off the mark, not helped by Sera suddenly rushing towards him as well to assail his bodyguard. Finally forced to fight at close range, the warlord draws an imposingly large battleaxe and hacks at Sera, Sera taking a massive cut to the arm as she manages to barely evade his fierce swipe. His bodyguard draws a shortsword at last, emboldended by the aid of his commander, as both circle Sera and close in.
The remaining soldier on the wall looses an arrow at Nobunaga to attempt to intercept him, but his device blasts the arrow in midair. Whatever use it didn't have for bullets, it made up for in being useful against mere arrows. The remaining cleric yanks himself to his feet, still wounded but alive.

Battle Theme ~Teleglitch Track 2~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTg4S5bPevw)
Objective: Rout all enemies.
Mircea attempts to defend against a charge from the arriving spiders, but the swarm is far too large and fast even for him. One spider latches onto him despite his best attempts and slashes him through the chinks in his armor, causing him to cry out in pain as blood spills forth from the deep wound. He swipes back at the spider, smashing it against a nearby tree, clutching his arm tightly as he retreats back.
A burst of flames annihilates another two spiders as Leonidas unleashes his wrath into incoming reinforcements. The stragglers, however, are far too quick for Leonidas, and they simply evade his spear as they sweep over him, trying to now avoid him and his mounted ally, sensing his strength is too much for them to overcome.
Kumo launches herself back towards Crocoite, slipping deftly into the arena the Chrome Conqueror has been sealed in. Her scythe lashes out at the spiders within, catching one of the spiders and shattering them with the force of the blow but not hitting the others or the Silicate Stalker. The remainder begin to jump on her, but Kumo, unlike Crocoite, is fast enough to avoid their blade-like legs, which stab into the ground where the Kamui wearer was but a mere second ago.
Crocoite, meanwhile, takes the opportunity opened by their ally to attempt to even the odds. With great effort of will Crocoite attempts to open the sealed gate, placing hands underneath it to boost it open. The gate, though heavy, is no match for Crocoite's might, and after a brief, but concerted effort, the Conqueror opens the gate, allowing his allies outside to intervene.
Reinforcements for the enemy will arrive in one turn.

Objective: Defeat Scrak Rainfire
The cleric, before it can move to assist its allies, is immediately downed in a burst of bullets as Hector springs out into the fray. The other bodyguard is able to evade just in time, despite the sensors, and is merely badly wounded by the attack. Hector, for his troubles, takes an arrow to the shoulder, however, as the remaining soldier shoots him. Hector immediately snaps another burst back in his direction with practised efficiency, but the burst flies wide, his aim somewhat thrown off by the projectile in his body.
Tanis lands the final blow. How do you want to do this?
((If the Champion lands the final blow on the Fiend (or anyone if the Champion's player does not specifically request that the Fiend be only defeated by the Champion), the player may roleplay out and describe the final blow. In this case, Tanis landed the final blow on Scrak, so Dragon can decide how their final epic clash goes.
My only stipulation here is that the blow doesn't instantly kill him for plot reasons which you'll see in a bit.))

Objective: Rout all enemies.
Mircea, with a great exertion of will pulls his reins up and swipes his massive spear around the spiders within reach as he boosts back in, slaying quite a few. His allies are heartened by the show of force, continuing to fight on. Leonidas, similarly inspired, exerts a massive effort as his own weapon strikes out with massive obsidian flames, shattering the remaining spiders.
Kumo, undaunted by her opponent's speed, slashes out once more to attack the Silicate Stalker, landing a glancing blow and sending cracks skittering in a small area around where she landed her blow. The fragments of its body, however, are suddenly sprayed into Kumo's eyes as the Stalker screeches, throwing the shrapnel in an attempt to blind and wound Kumo. Indeed, she is temporarily blinded as the shards land, forced to stagger back and narrowly avoiding all but one attack from the other spiders, tearing a gash in her side.
Electricity runs across Crocoite's carapace, closing the cuts in his armour inflicted by the spiders.
Seven spiders amble out of the woods, ready for battle. The sound of a large horde skittering not far behind can be heard.
>I sense this next wave will be far larger. Brace yourselves for a swarm.<
A large wave of reinforcements will arrive in two turns.

Objective: Rout all enemies.
Mircea roars loudly as he yanks his horse's reins up, before swiping his spear around and clearing the area around himself and Leonidas. Two spiders are directly struck by Mircea's rampage, shattering on contact with his lance, while the others attempt to swarm around Leonidas instead, the slower and unmounted opponent, now being quite conscious of Mircea's superior position.
Leonidas, however, is far tougher than they assume, as expected of a man who tangles with dragons. His draconic nature emerging as he becomes more and more injured, Leonidas lashes out to strike at any spiders that Mircea had missed with his initial approach. Quite a fair few dodge out of the way, his accuracy shot by his rage, though one is not quite fast enough and bursts into flaming shards of glass upon being struck.
Kumo, meanwhile attempts to hold off the Stalker and their swarm inside the tower. Enraged by being blinded, her Kamui and body warp, as the Kamui wearer transforms into a similar, spider-like form to her glassy opponents. With a screech, Kumo swipes at the spiders, but her strikes fall short, her eyes still recovering from the damage, as the spiders draw back. The Stalker, in retaliation, weaves between her flailing blade-like arms and slashes a wound in her side, her large size presenting a large target for the relatively small Stalker.
The remaining spiders outside circle Mircea and Leonidas, attempting to form a barrier despite being physically outmatched by the spear-wielding duo.
A large wave of reinforcements will arrive in one turn.

>The reinforcements are coming. The swarm is far larger than it was prior. Prepare yourselves.<
The loud, frenzied skittering that signals the arrival of the swarms of glass spiders attacking the group draws nearer. It is far louder and far more frenzied than before, and a massive group can be seen, pouring in very quickly. More skittering can be heard from the behind, and the backs of the glass beasts that assail them can be seen glinting through the bushes.
The odds are against you. The Might of Arvinia and the Dragon Slayer stand alone to defend their remaining ally against an unending onslaught. Both men known for intense willpower, both men for fighting against insurmountable odds, and both men triumphing in situations where hope was thought lost, long snatched by the jaws of defeat, standing against a far more powerful opponent, unyielding in will and unrivalled in sheer power.
But they are but mortal. Powerful men, durable and resilient beyond their companions, driven by sheer force of will or by the blood of dragons, but mortal nonetheless. What bleeds may die, and both men have bled and will bleed.
The prognosis is grim, and the choices are few; fight, and eventually be overwhelmed by a seemingly-infinite foe, or retreat, and risk these spiders ambushing their allies in the fort. Either way, the situation is untenable without reinforcements.
>Wait. I detect a new presence....not one of ours and not one of theirs!<
Theme Override: Kamen Rider Wizard ~It's Showtime~ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW9SeHqDyOw)
"Ruby Strike!"
A large portion of the oncoming forces are suddenly obliterated as what appears to be a giant ruby blade descends upon them, shattering the spiders on contact. As the spiders skitter away from the area of impact, a barrier of red crystals suddenly forms in the area, funneling a large portion of the spiders backwards into the forest as the barrier extends out a considerable distance. Quite a few spiders made it across, but nowhere near the vast number they were about to face.
The responsible party turns to the group, heading over to join them. They appear to be a man, clad in a black trenchcoat and boots, with a chestplate made of red gems underneath and a helmet and faceplate similarly constructed, a small ring with a ruby inset on their left hand.
"Time to even the odds, no? I've bought you some time. The spiders will have to go around it; they won't be able to climb up the smooth surface of the barrier, not without damaging themselves. Let's finish this before they do."
Masked Evoker Rosso has joined the fray.
All being said and done, Mircea and Leonidas continue their extermination of the remaining spiders. Leonidas swipes around with his spear, draconic energies surging through him and emerging as a burst of black flame, its infernal jaws melting the fragile glass the spiders are made out of, the dragon surging through the swarm of spiders like a hot knife through butter. Those that survive Leonidas' onslaught are caught on Mircea's lance or trampled under his mighty steed, as the Emperor of Arvinia glows himself with golden energy, the battle finally rousing something deep within the Emperor as he throws his head back and laughs uproariously.
Their new ally heads inside to aid Kumo, who flees upwards to protect herself as her vision remains impaired, her legs clambering up the walls to protect herself.
"Allow me to help."
A flash of warm, red light flows over Kumo's eyes, and her wounds and blindness are cured.
The two remaining spiders attempt a feeble, pointless attack upon the Emperor and the Slayer, but without numbers, their (considerable) physical strength is outmatched by their own, as one is simply incinerated by Leonidas and the other shattered upon impalement upon Mircea's lance. The spiders within the tower fare better, however, as one attempts to swipe at their new ally, only for him to manage to roll back at the last second, their talon scraping across the red gem chestplate. His arm flies out with what appears to be a sword made of rubies and carbuncles in an attempt to counterattack, but the spider is even swifter and evades their strike. The other spiders clump up to protect the Stalker, who launches more shrapnel at Kumo, who, with her vision restored, easily evades it.
