The return is upon us.
Welcome! My funk and boredom has ended, so I'm back to my comfort zone: Wiki-Warfare! This takes from the failed original version, but it's been fixed up. It's not a reboot or a massive overhaul, mind you. As the title suggests, it's more a patch than anything else. I will send invites out to every past competitor from the first version, but new people are welcome to join in at any time. So, that being said, let's get into game modes and mechanics.

Deathmatch
Part 0: The Campus John Dewey Inspired
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Even in a virtual world, the Goddard College campus was never a full one. With it's unique model, students were only on-site eight days every six months. On this day, as students walked across campus with coded-up coffee inside virtual stomachs, their attention was drawn to the front of the main school building. Laying on the grass were ten people, each one looking ridiculous or carrying some form of weapon. Security was automatically coded up to see what the fuss was about, but both the real and the fictional were blindsided by the voice of their H.I Overlord. "Greetings," E.D.U intoned, "By the orders of Cyborg Unit "Exodus", I am to provide direct observation on the goings-on of this match, similar to how Units "Beirus", "Envy", and "Lust" did with him during 2-Sigma's Warfare. Please, do not distract yourself with me. Let the battle begin."
And with that, the ten woke up, immediately filled with the desire to bust some heads in. The Watchful Monarch, E.D.U, is keeping her eye on you. Make it count!
BSN: A college campus...oh, this is gonna go over so well.
That aside, though, we're here! It's good to see people old and new come in. This one will last longer, I can tell. Let's do this.

So how exactly does my ability work? Can I single out an individual to target who doesn't have allies and get a +1 against them, or do I have to take them away from the rest of the fight?
It's basically a dueling situation. Since the Unlimited Characters are from a 1v1 fighting game, you can only go unlimited in a 1v1 scenario. The opponent's allies can physically be there, but they cannot interfere lest you lose the bonus.

Deathmatch
Part I: The Legacy of the Night Sentinels
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
The battle began explosively enough as the first warrior, a scruffy looking vagrant, to pick his sights on someone raised the barrel of a shotgun up. The vagrant, named Rudy Brewer, looked down at his person to find another weapon slung over his shoulder. With a jazzed reaction of "Two shotguns! WTF", he turned his attention to the man standing not too far away, a figure with oodles of money and a face indicating dismissal, at least for now. [4 v 8] The M4 Super 90 was fired first, but the murmurings and the sound of the gun firing gave Mycroft Holmes, brother to the famous Sherlock Holmes, just enough time to hit the deck as pellets flew overhead. With a dismayed expression, Brewer hoisted out his other gun, the Pancor Jackhammer. [9 v 9] But to his further chagrin, firing it just knocked the lanky man on his ass, missing by inches as Mycroft rose with a ghastly, scared pallor.
Other than a slight growl and an unseen grimace, the large and imposing Doom Slayer, the conqueror of Hell itself, didn't flinch at all. He turned to his companion, the hacking prodigy Jill Lovelace, and gestured his head to the building on campus. She knew him from a past life, when she was only 14 and he was far more willing to relax, so she knew what he wanted: to hack the computers within to absolve him of any legal damages. She ran in, bursting forth to the computer lab. [1+2] But even with the pants-wetting reputation of the Doom Slayer, nothing she could think of would absolve him of consequences. No one here was a Demon, after all. Still outside, he didn't care. The Doom Slayer hoisted up a large weapon, titanium lined with green plasma shining within, and scoped around for a target. And one, with a huge nose and a ridiculous scarf, was perfect for him. [8+2 (BFG's Power) v 3] [Reactionary (BFG): 8+2 v 3] [Reactionary (BFG): 8+2 v 1] By the time the Time Lord known as the Doctor had turned, hoisting up the Sonic Screwdriver, ready to disable it, The Doom Slayer wasted little time. He pulled the trigger, sending a large ball of energy directly at The Doctor. When it exploded, both him and his Companion, Romana, were sent flying, both of them mutilated, as the Doctor's robot, K9, was completely eradicated. The Doom Slayer turns around, thinking his job done...until he hears a British accented voice from behind.
"The Doctor is in the house!" was said, and he whipped around to see The Doctor and Romana, running back, their injuries healing and being replaced by a glowing yellow light across their bodies. They didn't die. They began Regeneration. [Knowledge Check: 3] Neither the UAC nor the Night Sentinels were ever told of the existence of Gallifrey, so this comes as a shock to the space marine. The Doctor raises the Sonic back up [7], and a buzzing sound hits the Doom Slayer's ears. Immediately, the BFG powers down, and shall stay that way for another hour. (Read As: Disabled for Three Turns.) With that done, the Doctor and Romana take cover, as they begin Regenerating.
Jimmy Simpson felt a bit inadequate as he saw that. Dude exploded from a BFG and then came back, snarked, turned the gun off, then went and hid. He needed to step up his game. He raised his hands up at the vagrant, Rudy Brewer, from earlier. "Choo! Choo! Mofos! Make way for Jimmy!" he shouted, Brewer turning to look at him as Jimmy's hands began glowing and the sound of a train whistle came in from nearby. [3 v 8] Brewer still had the sense of mind to turn around just as a modern, full-on public transport train barreled towards him. Brewer ran just in time as the train passed right by him.
Even as chaos exploded around her, the poet and playwright Frances Beatrice Taylor didn't falter. Immediately deferring to her tactician from south of her border, Lorillard S. Spencer, she gestured to things such as the train and the disabled BFG, and said "Well commander, you're the tactician here. I suppose I'll defer to your judgement for now.". Lorillard nodded, looking around the place. "Well," he responded, pointing at the Doom Slayer, "I recommend him, though everyone else will be crowding around to take their biggest obstacle out. The Alien, the one glowing a ghastly gold, might be a good bet. Him or Jimmy-Man the Train Summoner would make for good alternate targets. But we could always go for the Slayer. Your choice and on your go, ma'am."
Frances's other companion, the Israeli Robert Tiviaev, nodded and began scouting around for the best course of action, [Stealth: 10] but all three were oblivious to the Wraith ghosting them. Holding a Tomahawk in each hand, he snuck behind both of the bigger threats of that party, and raised his hands up. [8+2 (Perfect Stealth Bonus) v 9] [3+2 (Perfect Stealth Bonus) v 2] Immediately, Frances could feel the hearing on her left side fully fade away, turning around to see her ear get lopped off as a Tomahawk slashed into the back of Lorillard's head, blood spilling onto the grass as it did so. When they both turned to see the opponent, they saw a figure, a wraith, in all black with the offending weapons in each hand. Noob Saibot, the former Sub-Zero, entered into a martial arts stance and said, in a deep and chilling voice, "Fear me!"
As Brewer re-aimed his shotguns at Mycroft, the Great Detective's brother suddenly held up whole stacks on money in each hand. "No! Wait! I can pay you a lot of money!" he pleaded, shaking fistfuls of Australian currency at Brewer. [8 v 4] Brewer is drawn into the allure, providing peace by taking only A$100 from Mycroft and walking off. (Bribe Succeeded! Rudy Brewer cannot attack Mycroft Holmes for Three Turns!) He then turns to the student body, realistically cowering from the gunfire, some even crying, as he then threw A$10,000 at the campus. It works instantly, as twenty braver students run in, crowding around Mycroft as he calls in an Uber driver, [9] who arrives instantly.
The Vikings of the North are known for their war of an absolutely epic scale. Tales abound of them facing Knights and Samurai on a daily basis with no signs of surrender. So, naturally, with that sort of conditioning, fighting the biggest and baddest guy in the area was not out of the question. Helvar raised his hand-axes at an increasingly perturbed Doom Slayer, and taunted "Well, this is going to be fun for a few of us." before charging at the Slayer. [1+2 (Melee Bonus) v 10] Only to find himself running right into a counter-attack the Doom Slayer cracks his knuckles. [9 v 6] Luckily, as it was short notice, the Doom Slayer doesn't make use of his extreme strength. Which still doesn't stop the resulting duck and kick in the gut from hurting like hell as Helvar falls down, clutching his stomach.
[1+2] The slightest sound from behind makes the Doom Slayer whip his head back, spotting a man in a scarecrow outfit as he aims a pair of suppressed AMT Hardballers right at him. Agent 47, however, is one of the best, if not the best, Hitman across the globe. He doesn't flinch before firing both pistols anyway. [8 v 2+1] [7 v 3] The starting amount of armoring for the Doom Slayer turns out to be a bit weak to 47's form of ammo supply. The Doom Slayer's attempt to block the first bullet only sends it through his right hand and into his stomach, becoming lodged in his body. The Doom Slayer doesn't have time to react to the pain of the first round before the second passes straight through his right thigh. [4+2 (Strength Bonus)] The Doom Slayer kneels down on his injured leg, but his rage is brutal. Without mercy. He hears that little voice in his head, perhaps even his own, as it tells him what to do. "Rip and tear...until it is done."
And while all that is going on, the songstress Genevieve turns to the remaining, scared students, and uses her voice. [2+2] Her voice soothes them into at least a less panicky sense of fear, but not too many of them are willing to step out of the corners to help her. Three Security Guards, armed with pistols, do help her out of obligation, however, crowding around her as they keep watch over the battle.
(NPC Action) The Holmes Twenty, the college students aiding Mycroft, turn to Rudy Brewer, who was the one to spook him. [2 v 5] But before they can get close enough to deliver Frontier Justice, Brewer points his shotgun at them, pumping it to replace the shell he already used and keeping them at bay as he does so.
BSN: Glad to be back, ladies and gents.
To Rockeater: If you were annoyed at the Doctor's survival and felt the ruling was off, I understand and apologize. That was part of Regeneration's mechanic and I elected to use it. I am unbiased and must go with what I wrote.

Ah, also, because this game deals with subwikis differently from the other ones(or one? Don't remember I'm not counting the previous VM) I was in with you I've decided to come up with a different wish from the old one I sent you Greatness, I already pretty much know what I want, so I'll be sending it to you once I've actually gotten it written out for you to decide if it would be okay to do or not.

Grunting, Helvar would get up and try attacking the slayer once again, one hand wielding an axe, the other the stoor worm sword. Needless to say they planned on giving more than a inconvenience or bruse to the slayer...That's the Unmaker you're thinking of. The BFG is just a big ass fucking plasma gun

Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Even as the Doom Slayer attempts to rise on further unsteady feet, feeling blood flow down his legs from both rounds, the man who shot him has been trained. Poised. Prepared. Agent 47 feels no pity as he raises the Silverballers up again, pointed straight at the Slayer. [7 v 3] [3 v 9] Another bullet cracks his armor, sliding through the Slayer's left shoulder. 47 hears the living myth growl in pain before firing the other one. The Doom Slayer, however, doesn't falter. At the right time, he thrusts the hardest piece of armor on his fist forward, letting it strike the bullet away as he [8+2 (Strength Check)] not only gets up, but ignores the agony in his nerves in favor of answering that voice, clamoring for violence. (No "Pain" debuff)
With a scream of pain as blood flows down her dismembered ear, Frances yells out "Aggh! We've got a bigger problem! Hit him!" and steps back, away from Noob. Lorillard's hands shake as he removes his M1911 from it's holster and clicks off its safety, before pointing it at the tomahawk wielding manifestation before him. [1 v 3] But shaky hands leads to shaking accuracy, and the bullet instead flies into the wall of the campus. Noob ignores it, stepping forward as Frances raises her own Lee-Enfield rifle. [5+2 (Shooting Bonus) v 9] She fires, but Noob flicks his head to the left just in time, allowing the bullet to once again miss him and enter the school.
With no pain on the brain and time to spare, the Doom Slayer actually ignores the assassin, and focuses on the Viking rising up onto his feet. The Slayer reaches back to his belt, before pulling out some strange offering. Strange, until he activates it. An shimmering, crimson energy blade formed from Argent energy flares up, and the Slayer feels quite ready to rip and tear with it. [9 v 8] Helvar dodges in time to avoid serious damage, but the Doom Slayer's resulting slash cuts through his cheek and nose. Nothing falls off, but Helvar can feel blood pouring down his face from those features, and his face feels like it's burning. Meanwhile, inside, Jill tries a different approach. [10+2] And it works! The other nine Warriors, and their allies, are now blacklisted as full on Demons. Not only that, but the police and SWAT teams are arriving early to the chaos, not to hide as the Slayer wins for them, but to actually aid him in his demon killing spree. (SWAT Team Allies coming Next Turn) With all that out of the way, the Doom Slayer just books it away from campus, making it [10] far, far away from there. Now on the nearest, most cluttered streets, the Doom Slayer pushes pedestrians aside as he contemplates his next move...
The blissful sounds of chaos and agony are no good to a good composition. Genevieve turns to her three security guards, and provides another soothing melody. [8+2] The guards are turned over by her voice, releasing their Glock 17s from their holsters before making moves on three different targets:
[6 v 7] One runs up behind Jimmy Simpson and tries to do a Hitman Shot to the back of his head, only for Jimmy to turn around and push him to the ground, while the second rushes to Noob Saibot. [5 v 2] Noob turns just in time to catch a bullet to the gut, spilling black blood onto the ground as he doubles over slightly. The third man goes for the trained hitman, as indicated by his suppressed pistols, [8 v 8] but as he arrives, 47 disarms him with hand to hand, taking his Glock 17 and forcing him at gunpoint to just run away.
With that guard on the ground scrambling, Jimmy runs to his Sports Car. He ignites the engine and speeds onto the street. In mere seconds, he spots Mr. Holmes standing there, frantically waving and gesturing to a woman seemingly asking what the big deal is. Mycroft is giving her a crap-ton of money, which she seems to accept, if taking too long to count. Jimmy leans out of his car with his Australium blade, [3 v 8] but as soon as she spots him, she shrieks and practically flies into the car, as Jimmy swipes into the car door.
Despite the bullet in his body, Noob Saibot doesn't seem to break focus. He regards the guard for a second, raising an eyebrow, before disregarding the poor soul in favor of Frances and Lorillard. [3 v 7] [1 v 2] But the pain grows as he steps forward, and with a grunt, instead of swiping with the tomahawks, he doubles over and lands on his knees, a gasp and groan of pain indicating the round's influence over his body.
The Doctor and Romana stay away from everyone else. Their bodies feel light. Weightless. As the gold light shines over them, they feel their old forms leaving.
The Fifth Doctor has Awoken!
Stepping out from behind the rock is a seemingly different man. Greyish hair matted over a much more conventionally attractive face, the Fifth Doctor is wearing a more practical suit and hat, with a stalk of some vegetable on his lapel. He has a half-smile as a redheaded woman wearing Romana's old clothes also steps from behind the rock. "Sorry, K9," he states, melancholy in his deliver, before dropping his old, long scarf at the ash pile that used to be his robotic companion.
As Jimmy comes to a stop, clearly miffed at the Eyelander's failure to hit, his passenger side door opens and a shaggy looking man enter. Brewer takes a look around the car, stinking it up as he clicks his seatbelt on, before turning to the driver and pulling out his detonator. With a mad eye, he yells "Drive and nobody explodes!" before pausing. He then shows a hand full of money, instead offering "Or, if you don’t care about death, I got a hundred dollars. Whichever way, run the rich bitch off the road!" It's up to Jimmy to decide...
Helvar rises up on pained, shaky feet, before replacing one axe with his sword. But as he rises, the Doom Slayer rushes into Seattle. He runs after the Slayer, [6] but only makes it away from the college before losing him.
Back then...
"Hey!" the Uber Driver yells, "What's going on here? What's with the gunshots and the screaming and the-" Mycroft doesn't have time to explain. With money in her hand and a sword hitting her door, the driver gets him in. "Where to?" she asks, but he doesn't care. He points forward and throws more money at her face, which makes her go faster. He turns to look at Jimmy and Brewer through the back window. They're simply too far to bribe.
Suddenly, Robert Tiviaev runs forward, yelling as he kicks at the downed Noob Saibot. [4 v 9-2 (Pain)] But...Noob was a ninja in a past life. Tiviaev's a politician. He throws a kick out as hard as he can, but Noob just catches the leg and throws it forward, sending Robert to the grassy ground.
BSN: Woo! Another turn in the pipe, 5 by 5. Hope you enjoy!
Also, I've been thinking that, at both character creation and when winning an article by getting a full-on kill, you should be able to get more than one subwiki. So, like, one article from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and another from Red Dead Redemption. That should lead to fun combinations, I'd wager.

hmm, not really sure on the multiple sub-wikis thing, at least not at starting. Having all your articles from the same wiki(at least at first) brings more opportunity for them to work well together. Though I totally agree with getting different sub-wikis for killing, frankly it's such a logical idea that I already assumed that was how it worked.

Your input's appreciated. Thanks, dude! So...yeah, really should've been like that. In fact, that actually may very well be what it was really from. PirateJoe once got a Warhammer 40K weapon in a match with Touhou Project articles at start. But now it's confirmed to be the case. Explicitly.

Starting with different sub-wikis is fiiiiiinnneeeee
Sure you have characters with gross power imbalance or with useless items but isn't that the fun of it?

Also a fantastic point there.
Hmm...I could give a certain number of players two or more sub-wikis next match as an experiment, and if it works out well, then the amount of subwikis included can be rolled up in addition to number of subwiki articles and position of articles at the start of every match.

Deathmatch
Part III: A Backup Plan
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Blood drips upon quiet streets as police sirens blare and civilians watch on. The Doom Slayer ignores all stimuli, walking with purpose in spite of his wounds and just waiting for a good time to strike. And as luck would have it, that's precisely when he sees the fruits of his labor arrive. A SWAT van comes down the street at the sidewalk he's on, consisting of six highly trained and armed officers ready to help. Rather than simply holding out a thumb or walking front of them, he instead tails behind them and holds his hand out [6+2 (Strength)] and grabs the handles on the back of the truck as it rolls past. The car is stopped. When they get out, they immediately spot the Doom Slayer. He can see their guns and arms shake as their skin lightens up from the shock. He climbs in the back as they keep driving. Meanwhile, still at the school, Jill continues her hacking by next going to the military. [10+2] And it works. The other nine are the priority targets of the Military. And not just the US Military. While the US confirms involvement of as many units as they can, unbeknownst to everyone, the Canadian Armed Forces also begin clamoring about. It'll take a ton of time for even a single soldier to arrive (10 Turns), but they're coming with an armada.
[6+2 (Stealth Bonus)] But watching from the shadows in the city, having followed the blood trails down the street, is the scarecrow clad Agent 47. He watches the Doom Slayer get in the truck through very aggressive means before speeding off, and 47 stealthily follows them. [5+2 (Stealth)] It's a bit harder to sneak around when it comes to a moving car, but if they can't see a scarecrow, they won't wonder why one's in a city. Without them being the wiser, they park a ways away from the city, and pile out. [6+2 (Stealth)] And 47 keeps working his magic. They park in the school's parking lot, away from the courtyard. The six officers pile out, followed by the Doom Slayer, and 47 can hear the talkative of the group begin passing about ideas to their silent vigil.
The Fifth Doctor starts his tenure off with a bit of cleverness. He sees the high speed chase go down, his eyes flicking to the detonater and declaration from the vagrant Brewer, as he gains a bit of an idea. He points his Sonic Screwdriver at Jimmy Simpson's sports car, and flicks it on. [2+2 (Cleverness)] But the sheer speed of it all sends a weak signal, and Brewer's bomb vest doesn't explode. But it is primed. Even tapping that button will set it off. Satisfied, the Doctor brings Romana into the TARDIS, closing and locking the door behind them.
The message is clear. Pedal to the medal. Jimmy begins chasing after Mycroft in a high-speed chase, only vaguely aware of a brief-lasting chirping before he continues on. But this vagrant...he gains an idea. Summoning a train next to him, already rolling down the street with no rails, he opens his car door and leaps for the thing! [8+2 (Proximity)] He passes with flying colors, gripping onto the train car with ease. He turns back to see his sports car begin to swivel and slide. [4] But it doesn't crash. It doesn't stop. It's not controlled, but it's going. And he can see Brewer begin to pull out his shotgun through the glass...
As Frances' heart begins relaxing after the sudden turn of adrenaline, she realizes the precarious state Noob's in. On his knees, purple blood staining his clothes. She pulls out her Lee-Enfield and presses the barrel against Noob's skull. [2+2 (Shooting Bonus)+2 (Point Blank) v 4] He manages to grab it and hoist it up just in time, however, as the bullet instead slams through his cheek. He screeches out in pain as Lorillard takes a crack at it. [8+2 (Point Blank) v 1] Coming up from behind, Lorillard places a hand on Noob's shoulder to angle the shot right. Barrel at the temple. And...a loud crack shines through as Noob's blood and brain matter splatters against the grass. Other than a bit of agonal breathing, he makes no other noise as, unlike in a movie where the guy makes a final grand gesture, he instead just topples over, dead.
Lorillard secured Frances's kill! Frances gets:
http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Diavolo: +Stand: King Crimson & Epitaph (Using Epitaph, which uses up all actions in the turn, Frances can see how fate unfolds over the next ten seconds. Then, on the next turn, she can use King Crimson to skip time, making all attacks against her miss. Cannot be used excessively or consecutively, and she is vulnerable while using Epitaph. In addition, King Crimson can be used to fight, with a +2 to Strength simply due to immense physical power.)
Frances suddenly feels a power well up inside her. In front of her, a figure appears. With a grimacing face on the forehead of it's true, still grimacing visage, her Stand rises up. Tall. Powerful. It's name is King Crimson. And with it, it is only the results that remain in this world. All the actions you take in a world where time is erased are meaningless! (http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/King_Crimson)
Shying away from the violence, Genevieve decides to take another course of action. Using her powers, she transforms into a Barracuda, and swims into the college's main building. Students shy away from her in return, as in this visage, she is...well, a hovering sharp-toothed fish in a conflict involving more death and destruction that is apparent.
While not a hunter, Helvar, instead of running, elected to track the Doom Slayer down. [7] He gets a bead on his direction when he sees them trail off down a road that, now, presents a SWAT truck. It ignores him, piling into a parking lot. And who else should show up with the six officers than the Doom Slayer? Helvar feels no cowardice upon seeing the armed officers, and begins concocting a plan. Pulling out his three weapons, he waits for the right moment to strike.
In the city, Mycroft and his driver, who he now knows is named Rhonda, are chased through by Brewer. He remembers the question and suggests "Where to? Far away from here. I'm not interested in being killed by those maniacs. Perhaps a library?", just as a blast from a shotgun startles Rhonda. She keeps driving as Mycroft sees Brewer [7] gain control of the race car, before leaning out of the window with the same Super 90. Not at Mycrof proper. That'd breach conduct. No, he shoots at the tires. [7 v 3] The blast slams through a tire, sending the car screeching [Recover: 2] and swerving. They crash hard into a lamppost. [Medical: 8, and Medical: 2] Miraculously, Mycroft himself only has cuts and bruises. He's a bit winded, but fine. Rhonda, however, is not. Bits of glass and metal is stabbed into her chest, stomach, arms, and legs, with her right arm broken at the elbow to where the bone is sticking out. Her head lays on the dashboard, luckily not separated from her body, as she turns to Mycroft with hazy eyes and dribbles blood from her mouth onto the dashboard. [Distance: 8] Luckily, the library is close by. Mycroft rushes to it, and immediately heads for a computer. [6+2 (Journalism)+2 (Detective Work)] He immediately finds a crack team of mercenaries, the Rwandan Monarchy, and hires them. They'll arrive [Time: 6] within an hour or so. (Three Turns)
And before and during all of this, there's Brewer. He starts off by aiming a shotgun through the window at the traitor Jimmy Simpson. [6 v 7] He destroys the glass on the driver's side, but the pellets miss Jimmy, crashing into the train. Groaning, he shifts to the driver seat. After a second of panic, he manages to get a grip on driving this death trap, and leans out of the window. One shot later, and Mycroft's car is sent crashing. Brewer puts it in park and watches Mycroft leave.
BSN: Eventful! Oh, and a powerful Stand. What a twist.

Freaking shotgun guy. Grab some markers from the library(using bribes if necessary). Take Brewer's picture, freezing him in time. While he's frozen, use the markers to color his frozen wide open eyes black, rendering him blind. Anyone who tries to kill me gets bribed. If possible, freeze Rhonda too. She doesn't deserve to die, and while I don't know medicine, I can give her more time.

Deathmatch
Part IV: Depression and Violence
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
With the body of a fish and the mind and spirit of a human, finding a PA system in the school should be fine. Easy. But Genevieve underestimates how labyrinthine an unfamiliar location can be, and thus must actively search for it. [5] She gets on the right track. A map of the campus is found discarded amongst the dropped affectations of the student body in the midst of the chaos. It shows that the announcement room is *somewhere* on the third floor. Shouldn't be too difficult to find now. Genevieve swims up the stairs and looks again, [5] but none of the rooms have labeling. She'll find it at some time soon. [1 Turn]
By now, the lack of pain doesn't stop the mind of the enigmatic Doom Slayer from wandering, his vision slowly losing color as he feels slightly faint. Turning to the officers, he points to his wounds, each in separate places. One of the officers, a 6'4" dude with brown hair apparently named "Henry", says "Roger that, sir," and grabs a medkit from the back of their truck. [Medicine Roll: 3+2 (Field Training)] He manages to stop the bleeding, meaning the Doom Slayer won't bleed out. But seeing his body in bandages, crimson blood on white gauze, makes his adrenaline fade slightly. [-1 to all rolls until healed fully: Dull Pain] With a groan, he looks around the truck for armoring [1] but finds a lack of...anything. Armor, ammo, guns, medkits. The six SWAT Team members all carry them, and they didn't pack spares. Meanwhile, inside, Jill leaves the computer lab to find a safe space [7] and manages to duck inside a broom closet nearby.
Bemusement matches bewilderment as Brewer hops out of his shiny new sports car. He searches over the wreckage and the exterior of the library, whistling as he looks about the place. When he sees Rhonda laying there, choking on her own blood, he pauses and inspects his Super 90. "I’m starting to think these shotguns are for breaking stuff" he notes, before following Mycroft into the library. Knowing the terms of their agreement, Brewer looks at the clock. Just a few more minutes. In the meanwhile, he looks around the library, trying to find a place to hide before Mycroft notices him. [3] He hides behind a bookshelf, unaware he's visible in the corner of Mycroft's eye. He still removes his suicide vest, however, placing it on the ground next to him and waiting.
Unbeknownst to both of them, Jimmy Simpson is right on the trail. Riding a train through town like it was open fields for miles, he angles the engine straight for the library, and crashes right into it with a heavy thud! [Safety: 1] And he's immediately thrown from the vehicle through the library, [Injuries: 8+2 (Speed and Distance)] slamming against a wall with another loud impact. He is not killed instantly in the impact, but he feels a pressure in his chest. Building slowly. Blood lets loose from his mouth as he sees his right arm dangling from the elbow down. He turns his head, [10 v 10] [5 v 4] spotting Brewer first, standing there baffled but unharmed as the bookcase he was behind topples in front of him. He then turns again to Mycroft, and spots his getting up, cuts and bruises lining his face and hands from debris.
Meanwhile, in another dimension transcendent to our own, The Fifth Doctor flies around the control room, dancing across panels, switches, and wibbly levers as he makes his destination. Romana sits there, quietly, until asking "Doctor? Whatever happened to "violence is never the answer?". He turns to her, and smiles as he both says "Not the biggest fan either. But we have to adapt." and flips the last switch. A "vroosh" crashes it's way through the control room, shaking the whole TARDIS. When it stops and the Doctor opens the door, their exciting expedition lead them to...an ATM. [Hacking: 4+2 (Sonic Screwdriver)] An ATM which gave them only just enough money for the Doctor's plan. To that end, they re-enter the TARDIS, and dive on in to a local Gun & Pawn shop. The man at the counter is an aging, scruffy individual with white hair and an eyepatch. The Doctor provides the money, and using the Psychic Paper he nabbed in the TARDIS [Psychic Paper Obtained], he tricks the man with little fuss. The man brings out a shotgun, the five-round pump-action Ithaca 37 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ithaca_37), as well as a pistol. According to him, this pistol, the seven-round carrying IMI Desert Eagle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Desert_Eagle), is quite literally a brand new haul and should be handled with care. He gives him enough spare ammo for two reloads [Ten Shells and Two Spare Magazines), which takes up every penny taken from the ATM.
Stalking the SWAT party is none other than Helvar, the Viking Berskerer. His plan is in motion. All he needs to do is wait for the SWAT Team to begin splitting off. Which they do, not spotting him as they go [Distance: 4] only far enough away to not immediately turn around and shoot him. Satisfied, Helvar pulls out his axe, and throws it straight at the Doom Slayer, [1 v 8] who then promptly catches the thrown weapon and chucks it right back. [1-1 v 9] It, however, is a slippery devil. Doing so not only makes him miss, but increases the pain by straining his muscles. [An Additional -1 to next roll]. Helvar then pulls out his Stoor Worm Sword and, with his other axe, charges the Doom Slayer. [2 v 2-2] [6 v 3-1] The biggest and most obvious threat, the Stoor Worm sword, is dodged by the Doom Slayer with a sidestep. Helvar, however, then goes in with the axe, slicing a vicious slash across his belly. Blood spews out, and while it's not enough to immediately put him back in the danger zone, it only adds to the pain. [-2 until Healed]
As he slowly rises up from the wreckage, the cut-up Mycroft looks around the place. There's that vagrant again. Brewer, his name was. He then spots the broken mess of one Jimmy Simpson, his right arm snapped apart at the elbow as blood drips from his mouth and down his hairline. Rolling his eyes, Mycroft remarks "Great. Alright." before going into action. Stealing some markers, he slips out his camera and takes a picture before Brewer can respond, stunning him into a single moment in time. Mycroft strolls over, and looks into his wide-open eyes. [8 v Frozen] Pulling out the markers, Mycroft draws into Brewer's eyes. The still conscious Brewer can only wish he could scream as his vision fades ever slowly away. Nodding, Mycroft strolls back out of the library, and snaps a pic of Rhonda, stopping time for her. [Time: 1] But it's too late. In the midst of the chaos, her heart simply stopped beating. The moment he stopped Rhonda Harland in is the moment her eyes closed for good.
After spotting King Crimson, Frances immediately goes to take care of Lorillard, who simply looks...pale. In a bad way. Robert Tiviaev stands nearby, [Supplies: 1] finding nothing of note. No bandages, gauze, painkillers, or the like. This does not stop Frances, however. [Ingenuity: 8] Tearing off a strip of her shirt, she creates a make-shift bandage for Lorillard. [Medical: 9] And it actually works! Wrapped around his head, his bleeding ceasing, Lorillard smiles and gives Frances a friendly salute.
While all of that goes on, Agent 47 watches carefully, noting the new injury. A strategy forms in his head. He holds his hand out, and begins summoning. From nowhere anyone else can see, a grouping of snails approaches the Doom Slayer, slowly crawling up his leg and to the open wound. [Effectiveness: 8] As soon as they touch bare, bleeding flesh, the Doom Slayer howls out, the snails' collective fluids pooling against the wound. [Pain Management: 6] His pain doesn't get any worse, but he still leans against the truck, clenching his fists violently as the cause him utter agony.
The SWAT Team doesn't make it far enough to spot any Wiki-Warriors yet, merely evacuating civilians as they patrol the perimeter.
BSN: Accurate Part name, if I do say so myself.
It's mainly the luck of the dice that determined the tone. I'm not sad or depressed...at the moment, so my influence was mainly writing things up.

Hmm...that is something I myself was wondering while typing it up.
It says "For a whole turn", that's how I phrased it. For the rest of a turn is not the same as a whole turn. Ergo, it's most likely for the turn after, as well.

You can only skip future turns, I.E instantly succeeding in Defense rolls is the real meaning of it. You cannot skip the past, because you've already lived it.
...So...yes? You cannot skip the turn you died in if you died viewing Epitaph.

Travel back in time shortly before we all arrived at the college, once the Doomslayer arrives, disable his BFG with the sonic screwdriver, should I fail to disable the BFG, Romana will fire at him with the shotgun. Warn the 4th Doctor to get inside his Tardis and to follow us, then fly to the outskirts of town.

Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Spotting a dead body is one thing. But when an ally has passed away, just trying to do her job, it leaves quite the impact. Mycroft sighs, saying "Ah. What a shame. I'll make sure your family is cared for. Now then." before returning to the library. The still frozen Brewer can barely react, but Jimmy coughs up blood and scowls upon seeing him. "As for you brutes... I don't think you're going to enjoy this." he replies, before snapping a picture of Jimmy, trapping him in place! While this does freeze Jimmy's injuries, keeping him alive, this leaves him powerless. [8 v Frozen] His eyes are marker-ed in, painting them black and leaving him blind. Then, Mycroft looks around the library and around all the scared people, and asks "Does anyone have any duct-tape?" [9] A scared looking man with tears dribbling down his cheek, clearly frightened by the whole mess, nods and passes Mycroft a roll of duct-tape. With no resistance, he binds Brewer and Jimmy's hands with them, as well as covering up their eyes should they blink away the marker.
The Doom Slayer gasps, grimaces, and chokes as he stares down Helvar. He's as quick as he is dangerous. The Doom Slayer cracks his neck back and forth, before waving his hands in an arc at Helvar. [5-2 v 9] Due to the pain, aiming right doesn't seem to work. While a stream of magical fire does wash out towards Helvar, he ducks under it with ease before slowly approaching the pained Slayer. Not wanting to bother with it, The Doom Slayer suddenly is enveloped by a black fog. [Order: 1] Before the Doom Slayer can transform, Helvar suddenly reacts, charging forward in request of one more strike. [9 v 6-2] The Stoor Worm Sword slashes into the Doom Slayer's helmet, severing the left cheek and breaking the thing. With half a glasgow smile and a broken helmet, the Doom Slayer immediately transforms into a raven, and flies off in search of a hospital. [Reaction: 10] The Doom Slayer can hear Helvar shout out "For someone called the Doom Slayer, you turning into a raven and running like a craven is not very fitting for that title! Guess I'll just have to take it from ya!" before hearing the woosh of a well-aimed axe. [4+2 (Crit Roll) v 7-2] The axe clips the Doom Raven's wing, translating into a gash at the Doom Slayer's right arm which begins bleeding. [Search: 4-2] In addition, with all the chaos, The Doom Raven cannot spot a hospital, and thus resorts to hovering about the place, ready to dodge any more attacks.
"Gluh. Didn't think that one through." Jimmy thinks, just before he is frozen and blinded.
As King Crimson's energy flows through her body, Frances feels invigorated. Despite not being able to hear as well, she can suddenly sense all fate as though it were as much under her control as her new Stand is. With this, she scours the school and everywhere close by, looking for a good target. [Sense: 4] She only detects the Wiki-Warrior closest to her, and even then, not through seeing it, but rather through the spreading whispers that there is a, quote, "Goddamn Flying Barracuda" going through the hallways. Frances, Robert, and Lorillard enter the school [Spot Check: 8] [Stealth: 5] and manage to find it undetected. They see it scouring the halls for something, and manage to stay visibly hidden. But the last bit of blood flowing down Lorrilard's healed head does drip, making a noise that the Barracuda can hear.
Back in the TARDIS and freshly armed, the Doctor and Romana go over the plan as it stands. The Doctor gives Romana the shotgun and himself the Deagle as he recounts "Listen Romana, I have a plan. We're going back in time, prevent our regeneration by saving ourselves and K9, and then we're going to join forces with ourselves. We'll figure the rest out by then." Romana follows it at first, but gains a quizzical expression on her face as she actually thinks through the logistics. Before she can ask, the Doctor throws a switch and they head off. But that's the thing about a Mark 44 TARDIS: space is an exact science, but time is a ball of wibbly-wobbly, time-y wimey...stuff. [Space Accuracy: 10][Time Accuracy: 2] So, while they do go back to the college, they go back to that specific campus when it opens. As they step out at the Seattle establishment, they step out at it's opening ceremony, all the way back in July of 2011.
Meanwhile, in the present, Agent 47 attempts to sneak closer to the hovering bird. [Stealth: 4] But finally, the Raven spots the moving scarecrow. With a screech, it begins flying erratically, before slowing right back down from the pain. 47 scowls before raising his Silverballers, [10 v 10-2] And manages two more clips, this time against it's left wing. It doesn't do much damage beyond lightly bleeding flesh wounds, but it's a start. [Spot Check: 2-2] The Doom Raven attempts to escape, flying wildly forward only to come face to face with a billboard. [Injuries: 7] This gives the already messed up Raven a concussion as it comedically bounces off the billboard and lands on a car outside of...well, whaddya know, it's a hospital!
Brewer's mind slowly begins operating within time space. He can't see, but he can devise a plan. Blink and shoot. Good plan. 10/10.
The flying Barracuda continues it's search for a PA system, it's eyes darting around at different signs. Spotting it immediately, Genevieve smiles in a toothy, fishy kind of way and flies towards the door. But then, she hears a drip. Two drips. Right down the hall. PA System comes first, though. She flies in and re-shifts into a human, before clicking the system on and singing her beautiful song. [6+2] The song comes out wonderfully as students and guards alike are driven to violence. Immediately spotting the SWAT Team, they all begin making a mad dash towards them. While not every student is fighting, the one who are are filled with a primal rage. [Voice Check: 1] But doing this has completely shot Genevieve's voice. It comes out scratchy and cold. It won't heal without something to wash it down, and even then, it may take days to return to normal.
The SWAT Team switches to less-than lethals just as the Student Body and the Guards charge forward. [6 v 1] With beanbags and tear gas galore, the College Students are neutralized, save for a few dozen of them, as well as the Glock wielding guards, who [3 v 10] are immediately counter-attacked with more lethal force [5 v 9] though the gunfire of the SWAT Team misses them, just trying to keep them back.
[Eight Turns Left] as the US and Canadian Militaries prepare.
[Next Turn], the Rwandan Monarchy rises. And they don't just have soldiers. They have a Blackhawk. A black and red helicopter, loaded to bear with both soldiers and rotary guns, flies straight towards the School. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUqKMv4LOFw)

Deathmatch
Part VI: Birds are Circling Above... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUqKMv4LOFw)
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Morning, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Time is now passing. Weather is now Cloudy, and it is now Noon. Progress report: One Dead.
Jimmy can feel his mind start working again. His fingers on his left hand have warmth flow through them as he clenches them, though to his concern, he can't feel the fingers on his right hand anymore. Just too broken, it would seem. Still, with his ability to hold onto moving trains until they start crashing, wielding the two-handed Eyelander doesn't get impaired at all. Despite not being able to see, he hefts the golden blade onto his shoulder, before beginning to swing wildly at anything and everything. [Accuracy: 10] But before he goes all Leatherface, twirling his sword around the room, he hears something. An English voice. "Perfect, thank you." Judging by a sobbing sound going quiet, it clearly worked out. "MYCROFT!" he internally shouts, before running straight to him with the Eyelander, knowing where to hit. [5+2 (Crit Accuracy) v 10] Jimmy swings the Eyelander right at Mycroft Holmes, brother of Sherlock, but he just ducks and pushes Jimmy to the ground. As he lands, he can feel his heartbeat quickening far more rapidly than ever before.
As he feels his human form reconvene, The Doom Slayer has, well, seen better days. Blood is trailing out everywhere, far more than is healthy. His vision is swimming as he swears the scent of burnt toast surrounds him. Despite this, he still hobbles off the car and heads into the hospital. In spite of his battered shape, once those doors open, everyone stops. Parent and child alike looks on in horror and/or reverence, as the receptionist looks up to see this hulking behemoth of a man standing before her, battered and bruised with blood trailing everywhere and his warm breath shakily heaving onto the desk. [Time: 1+2 (Intimidation of the Normies)] In spite of the sheer awe, as the receptionist notes, "All the doctors are currently busy. It seems a lot of college students are coming in hurt. Some kinda riot at the Goddard campus. You can, uh...stay at the desk? I guess? Or you could sit down at one of the open chairs. You do seem like a priority, though. I'll page you into the ER in..." [Time: 4+2 (Injuries)] "Just a few minutes! You're going to be okay, Mr...Uh...Big?"
Brewer finally regains use of his body. He can see nothing, but he hears all and feels hands begin to rope around his neck from both sides. [Intelligence: 5+2 (Education Buff)] Luckily, his educated mind deduces the right amount of force to break duct-tape. He begins pulling at the set around his hands as he feels those other hands begin to tighten. [Strength: 5] He manages the duct-tape on his hands, but it stings like hell, making grabbing at the set around his eyes a little difficult. [Strength: 3-1] Which he cannot manage. He is still blind. But that doesn't matter. He headbutts forward and back [5 v 6] [5 v 7], but both Mycroft and the scared dude back away in time to not get bludgeoned. His last ditch effort is to grab his shotgun and fire at the agonal breathing. [7 v 6] He fires at Jimmy, a single pellet entering his right arm, which...doesn't actually do much. He's so banged up not even that really matters anymore.
Tracking the flight path, Agent 47 notes the location of the hospital and begins to move towards it. A trail of blood leads him to a battered car, which leads him to a second trail that brings him to the entrance of the hospital. He moves towards the front doors. [Stealth: 3+2] He moves in okay, but the moment he crouches down, a little boy previously scared by the Doom Slayer notes "Mommy, mommy, look at the scarecrow!" [Stealth: 1 (No Bonus: Technically Spotted)] Everyone, including the vicious Doom Slayer himself, immediately turns around to spot him. And if the clenched, shaking fist means anything, the Slayer is pissed right off.
But before that happens, the same blood trail suddenly leads to the doors being kicked open. The viking Helvar appears, smirking with barely a care at the bald dude in the scarecrow outfit, before turning his attention to the Doom Slayer. He scowls before pulling out the Stoor Worm Sword and dashing towards the Doom Slayer with a violent, slasher smile on his face. [2+2 v 10-2] But in spite of all the pain, all the wounds, the Doom Slayer is still, well, the man who killed Hell. Twice. He dodges with practiced ease, the sword slamming into the table instead, spreading wood all against the area. The receptionist screams and runs as the ER pager is on. A team of paramedics rushes in, sees the viking, and immediately run back out, though they leave the door open for anyone else, including the Doom Slayer who needs emergency care, to use.
After paying the scared dude (named Michael) and dodging a sword, it's time for the strangling to begin. The two wrap their hands around Brewer's neck, and begin to squeeze. [1+2 (Assistance) v 2] The first big squeeze doesn't go smoothly, as Brewer fires his shotgun and begins jerking, trying and failing to headbutt the two of them. Michael leads this time, strangling as Mycroft follows. [4+2 (Assistance) v 5] But again, Brewer doesn't suffer any big asphyxiation, only choking on his own air as the two of them futilely squeeze.
With her voice shot and the dripping letting her know someone's in the building, Genevieve looks around the room in a panic. Luckily, air vents are around her. Turning into a barracuda, Genevieve flies up to one in an attempt to flee the scene. [Strength: 10+2 (Barracuda Teeth)] She pops it open and flies in, a non-Stand user's inability to see the fighting spirit making her oblivious to how close she was to being grabbed by King Crimson. She pops out of the vents outside, flying straight to the sky...only to see a chilling, scary visage.
A black and red helicopter approaches, it's red light shining over her guards and students, as well as the Doom Slayer's six-man SWAT team. [9 v 2 (Targeting All: Rotary Guns)] Immediately, it's twin rotary guns fire over the whole area. Students, faculty, guards, and three of the SWAT members, are all torn to shreds from the gunfire. [Perception: 9] And they see her. Clearly. The guns spin again. [8 v 6] Luckily, the majority of the fire misses, but one clips her tail fin and thus, Genevieve is sent tumbling to the ground. [Injuries: 10] She lands with a thud before returning to human form. Between the fall and the bullet, she feels her vision swim as though everything was underwater. As she looks down, she notes the horror as her left leg, translated from the proportions, is missing from the knee down, squirting blood everywhere. Over the corpses, ropes land down as the neutral students are spared. They weren't allies of Mycroft Holmes' enemies. Fourteen Rwandan military soldiers land down, in addition to two elite units. A one eyed man with a Makarov PM in one hand and a knife dripping some green fluid in the other, codenamed "Cobra". And a man in militarized-regal attire, with a grand sword with a golden hilt known as "The King".
(Seven Turns) until the American and Canadian Militaries save the day.
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Evening, Clear Skies, 7/13/2011
Evening, Clear Skies, 7/13/2011
Spotting the date and seeing all the signs of building and opening, the Doctor does what he does best: flip out. He jumps around for a second before tossing the Desert Eagle into the TARDIS and turning to Romana. "We seem to be a little early. Ok new plan, new plan. I'll visit a nearby embassy or something and inform them about what will happen at that college in 2020. As for you, heat up the TARDIS and make sure our next trip will take us to the right time." And with that, he's off towards any nearby embassies. [Directions: 2] Well, he would be, if he knew where one was. City Hall's good enough, though. Right? Eh, whatever.
BSN: Okay, looking back, the disclaimer wasn't really necessary. But pays to be careful.
Thinking away from that, I am glad. The game is running smoothly, and everyone's going groovy! I love it. Sure, things are sensitive, but it's still as fun as it was years ago. And that's wonderful.

Deathmatch
Part VII: ...They're Called Back to a Waiting Glove...
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Noon, Cloudy, 8/23/2020
The sound of patients screaming and rapid footsteps doesn't faze Agent 47. Years of practice and experimentation keeps him calm even as this opposing creature of war watches him. Pulling out the suppressed Silverballers again, 47 aims them right at the Doom Slayer. [7 v 8-2] [8 v 6-2] The first shot is stopped just short of passing through all flesh, slamming into his arm and bruising it more than anything. The second shot, however, hits the Slayer's left knee, forcing him to the ground onto his hands. The Destroyer of Hell is clearly weakening.
But he's not out of the way yet. The Doom Slayer waves his hands around in some form of non-verbal incantation. [5-2 v 2] Suddenly, a bolt of fire flies out, striking 47 right in the center of mass! It pushes him over, but he does not catch fire and the burns aren't unmanageable. [Adrenaline: 9] The rush of finally hitting an opponent and being so close to death with another pushes the Doom Slayer back onto the edge, negating his pain and pushing it down for the time being. [Reaction: 4 v 4] Just in time to see Helvar charging at him with the Stoor Worm Sword, aiming to thrust into the Slayer. His own adrenaline is pumping, but that doesn't help when the Slayer grabs the blade of the sword. [4 v 8] But Helvar pulls it back with ease, the strength behind it actually making the Doom Slayer lose his footing a little, though he regains it well enough.
Meanwhile, back at the actual campus, Genevieve is in a panic. Her leg is missing, spilling blood everywhere, and while the pain isn't crippling, she still feels utter agony flow through her. [Medical: 1] Tearing a strip off her clothing, Genevieve moves in, only for tap something the wrong way. Blood flows out more, and she is filled with utter, brutal agony before passing out from the blood loss, falling into unconsciousness swiftly before outright passing away from her injuries.
The Rwandan Monarchy has ended Genevieve! Mycroft, their employer, receives:
http://rwby.wikia.com/wiki/Myrtenaster: +Myrtenaster (Multi-Action Dust Rapier. Six Dust Vials in Reserve)
All the way in the library, Mycroft suddenly receives a rapier with a revolver cylinder built in. This weapon, Myrtenaster, will serve him well, as he then sheathes it to his left side.
But Mycroft's new toy isn't useful yet, because the still dying Jimmy still chooses to attack. Recognizing the noise of a struggle from Brewer, he keeps the Eyelander moving before charging forward towards the noise. [Accuracy: 8] He actually manages to attack in the general direction of the three, which is a fantastic start. But as the sword swings, it is, in fact, heading towards Brewer. [1 v 10] But the sword misses in a way most beneficial: it cuts off the tape around his eyes with no further damage. A quick blink later and Brewer's vision returns to him. He immediately counterattacks with the element of surprise on his side.
He starts by, with that element of surprise, suddenly grabbing Mycroft and chucking him towards Jimmy's sword! [10+2 (Element of Surprise) v 5] Jimmy swings and thrusts in rapid succession, the first swing lopping off Mycroft's left arm at the elbow! His thrust digs it's way into Mycroft's stomach, making him spit up blood before toppling down to the ground, visibly and audibly in pain. Brewer then takes the opportunity to shoot the camera [4 v 6-2 (Sensitive State)] Except, Mycroft grabs it with his right hand just in the nick of time as wood splinters up from the pellets. Of course, now he's actually aiming at Mycroft. And Michael. And Jimmy, too. Everyone who's a threat, really. [7 v 10] [8 v 7] [8 v 10-...10 (He's Literally Dying, Cut Me Some Slack)] He misses Mycroft by a hair's breadth, before firing at Michael. It grazes him, sending him to the ground. Then, Brewer turns to Jimmy, close to closing his eyes for the last time. He takes aim, and fires into Jimmy's head, leaving nothing left.
Brewer basically mercy-killed Jimmy. Brewer gets!:
http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Cloud_Kingdom: +Ability: Head in the Clouds (Brewer can turn into an intangible cloud-human hybrid for as long as he doesn't attack. Doing this will also basically Summon a party full of people nearby.)
Left in the conference room as the alarm sounds, Frances, Robert, and Lorillard attempt to bunker down. [Stealth and Fortification: 3] They manage some pretty good cover, but anyone can see them. Luckily, The Monarchy are only just now entering the school, not spotting them as they prowl around each floor methodically.
Brewer's triumph doesn't last long as a raspy, English voice chimes in from below him. "I'm sorry, but you're not going to kill me that easily." Mycroft says, rising on unsteady feet, attempting to flash the camera at Brewer! [4-2 (Shaky Hands)+2 (Photo Bonus) v 1] Brewer cannot do anything before part of him is frozen. Namely, the part still holding his now empty Super 90. In addition, he cannot move. He is still conscious, still able to move his head and free hand, but he's powerless. Mycroft can't tape up this dude. He could bite. But he doesn't have to. Because after having stolen a couple cars, seven members of his Rwandan Monarchy mercenary group, as well as Cobra, are driving straight for the library!
While not on the third floor of the school and thus unable to spot Jill Lovelace or Frances and her party, the other seven members as well as The King still patrol around the school. Edging ever closer...
City Hall
Evening, Clear Skies, 7/13/2011
Evening, Clear Skies, 7/13/2011
The Doctor briskly waltzes into City Hall, ignoring questioning receptionists and flashing Psychic Papers at others, until making it to the front desk. [Charisma: 3+2 (Being Peter Davison)+2 (Psychic Paper)] He manages to gain an audience with Seattle's mayor at the time, Michael McGinn (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McGinn), and he attempts to tell Mayor McGinn of the events foreseen. [Convincing: 6] McGinn both doesn't take him seriously and doesn't wave him off, agreeing to have a due ready plan, but only if the events foreseen transpire. Which they will. Pleased, the Doctor returns to the TARDIS and fires it up [Time Accuracy: 7] Returning to the right time, though a few minutes before. He sees the Wiki-Warriors getting fitted with their items by...something. It resembles a man, specifically an older man in his late 50s, but purple code is leaking off of him and out of parts of his body, and he is clutching a book in his hands. He turns to the Doctor, and smiles a sickening grin at him before vanishing as the Warriors, including his past self, wake up.
BSN: The plot...begins, I guess. Woo!

It should have, but I forgot. Sorry.

Though, thinking about it, the photography bonus would be for aiming the camera properly. You can't really aim a camera with shaky, slippery, blood covered hands. So, I can't tell if the photography bonus would've helped even if I did remember. it.((Wouldn't it help compensate for the difficulty? I mean, there are photographers who have to take pictures during the rain.))
Okay, yes, you are right. I concede and apologize for forgetting. I'll edit the turn.

Other than a slight growl and an unseen grimace, the large and imposing Doom Slayer, the conqueror of Hell itself, didn't flinch at all. He turned to his companion, the hacking prodigy Jill Lovelace, and gestured his head to the building on campus. She knew him from a past life, when she was only 14 and he was far more willing to relax, so she knew what he wanted: to hack the computers within to absolve him of any legal damages. She ran in, bursting forth to the computer lab. But even with the pants-wetting reputation of the Doom Slayer, nothing she could think of would absolve him of consequences. No one here was a Demon, after all. Still outside, he didn't care. The Doom Slayer hoisted up a large weapon, titanium lined with green plasma shining within, and scoped around for a target. And one, with a huge nose and a ridiculous scarf, was perfect for him. Only, just then, a noise that pierced the sky sounded it. That blue box was suddenly in another place at the same time as it stood there, un-moving. It was as though it cloned itself. Out of this second TARDIS popped two more people in strange clothing, the male of whom primed his own Sonic Screwdriver at the BFG 9000. [9] The thing shuts down before it can fire as the Fifth Doctor grabs himself, Romana II, and the still-functioning K9 and hauls them into the TARDIS. The time machine then flies out to the outskirts of town.

Meanwhile, in the present, Mycroft Holmes lies there. His blood is everywhere, coating the wood floor of the library in a trail of crimson. He looks up to the now mostly-frozen Brewer, and grimaces as he sees the free hand is clutching his automatic shotgun. "Oh you... gaaaah. Hey. Want some money?" he gasps out, shakily holding out a wad of Australian dollars out towards the frozen vagrant. [5 v 2] Brewer nods, allowing Mycroft to put the money in his teeth. He then takes out his camera with his remaining hand, and photo-freezes himself with it so as to remain alive.
Death is approaching quickly. Hell on Earth seems closer and closer. The Doom Slayer gasps out a choking breath before pulling out the BFG 9000, finding it still stocked with ammo. [Reaction: 1 v 3] Helvar attempts to bridge the gap, but the Doom Slayer quickly presses the giant weapon to the ground. The green Argent energy flashes over everyone, and the first noticeable thing is that all the civilians in the area are essentially turned to mulch on impact. [5+2 v 1-2] Due to both the pain, it's power, and the very suicidal placement, the Doom Slayer denies his enemies by killing himself in the blast, his soul fading away into Argent Energy. [3+2 v 5] Helvar manages to dodge the blast by getting behind sturdy enough cover just in the nick of time, [9+2 v 7] while the blast sends 47 crashing through the doors. His flesh is heavily burned, he's missing two fingers, [Glass Impact: 3] though the glass doesn't stab into him.
47 still, as a consummate professional, doesn't falter. Stumbling to his feet, he notices Helvar standing up from the blast, his back facing away from 47. [Stealth: 3+2] Helvar seems to look around for the assassin, not yet noticing him in his blind spot as he crawls towards Helvar and pulls out [Equipment Survival: 8] both Silverballers, still intact. [1+2 (Assassination) v 1] [1+2 (Assassination) v 2] One shot hits Helvar's hip, spraying blood out as the round leaves his torso. The second, meanwhile, becomes a flesh would as it grazes some more flesh.
In spite of being bribed, Brewer still has his priorities in check. That camera has been the bane of his existence lately. And with one free gun, one free hand, and no direct injury to the now-frozen Mycroft, he is well within his rights to punish this camera. [5 v 3] The shot manages to damage the lens, removing part of the advantage to it. [+2 now +1] His victory there is short lived as the Rwandan Monarchy rolls in. They storm the building, a combat medic grabbing Mycroft and hauling him out as Cobra moves in to inspect Brewer. By now, he's beginning to unfreeze. Cobra [Mercy Check: 3-2 (Not Merciful)] scowls before leaning back and pointing his Makarov right at Brewer. [4 v 1] A single gunshot slams into Brewer's stomach, sending the unfrozen man sprawling as he lands against the ground.
Within the announcement room, the abilities of her Stand send Frances reeling with possibilities. Activating Epitaph, she can see what'll happen during the next ten seconds:
With only one room left to check, The Monarchy breaches the room. Three of them, with automatic weapons, take preference on the Wiki-Warrior. [? v ?] Their rounds turn Frances into swiss cheese, splattering blood against the room. Lorillard and Robert cry out in a panic as Frances drops forward. Dead.
Luckily for her vulnerable ass, The Monarchy is only just now stacking up against the door. Only to hear sirens. Yep. The Doctor's plan worked. The Seattle Police Department has arrived.

With a scowl of annoyance plastered on his face, Helvar looks back to where the Doom Slayer was standing. In his place is basically an assortment of meat and organs, denying Helvar a real trophy of combat. He growls and tries to turn and look for 47, trying to slice him into ribbons as penance for stealing his well deserved kill. [3 v 8+2 (Stealth Bonus)] But as he flourishes about with his blade drawn, the still-living, burned clone still moves well enough to dodge within his blind spot. It's as though he doesn't feel the pain of his burns. Which, he doesn't. Destroyed nerve endings and all. Which is certainly a thought that continues to infuriate Helvar.
47 is not as easily annoyed, though. He aims to stay within his blind spot, keeping his pistols drawn for the right time. [5+2] He stays stealthy and ready to assassinate, focusing on his training as he looks over Helvar's back, searching for the right spot on his body. [8+2 (Assassination Bonus) v 4] [9+2 v 3-2 (Pain)] The first one pierces straight through the middle of Helvar's back, sending pain through his whole body. He gasps with widened eyes and collapses to his knees, dropping the Stoor Worm Sword to the ground. 47 doesn't flinch, hobbling forward and pressing the suppressed barrel of the other Silverballer to the back of Helvar's head. Helvar mutters "P-P-Promise me...the next fight will be a better age for a warrior like me.", to which 47 simply responds "I'm sure the chance will come." With one last, quiet gunshot, Helvar falls forward, dead.
Agent 47 has done what he does best! 47 gets:
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/M8A1: +XM8 (Short Reload Four-Round Burst Assault Rifle, 32/32. Two Magazines in Reserve. Attachment(s): Suppressor)
47 notices an extra weight at his back. He pulls out an XM8 rifle with a suppressor already threaded on. Holstering it again, he looks around, thinking of a new plan. But then, his forgotten ally Frederic Rossif comes in, recording all the proceedings on his camera.
Meanwhile, within the TARDIS, within the past, within an alternate timeline, two incarnations of the smartest beings in the galaxy are together. Or, rather, trying to work together while bitching about eachother. "A celery stalk? Really? You think you look dignified with a vegetable on your lapel?" to which the other responds with "At least I won't be tripping over a scarf that looks as long as my nose!" They continue harping like this for a second before doing what any good incarnation of the Time Lord does: thinking of a way out. [Intelligence: 7+2 (Gallifreyan Mind) +2 (Another One)] The two come up with a less-than lethal strategem to survive: incapacitation. If someone is unable to compete, such as by being on an uninhabited planet, they fall out of competition. So, a good plan would be to go to their enemies one at a time, lure them into the TARDIS, point it at a planet, and survive long enough to make it there and chuck them onto the planet's surface. As to the purple code man...well, stopping him requires finding him, so he's a secondary objective. With that in mind, the Doctors travel back to both the future and the actual timeline.
Despite the gunshot in his gut, Brewer's mind is actually working in overdrive. He sees the combat medic and crew grabbing an unfreezing Mycroft, hauling him out of the building. Brewer suddenly fades into smoke, becoming a sentient cloud that rolls out towards Mycroft. [Reaction: 2] Mycroft, seeing this cloud heading towards him, uses his good hand to fling Myrtenaster at Cobra. But after flying straight through Brewer, the rapier bounces off the floor and lands on a table. By the time Cobra grabs it, both the Monarchy's car and Cloud Brewer are gone. Cobra screams in frustration and rage.
Seeing her vision just about to come to life, Frances immediately brings King Crimson out as the Monarchy kicks the door in, breaching it. "KING CRIMSON!" she calls out. And then, something seems to skip. The Monarchy has fired their guns despite barely seeing anyone. The glass behind everyone shatters, but no one gets hit. And behind them, hidden without trying, is Frances, who stands right behind an unaware King of Rwanda.
Mycroft is loaded into the back of the car, slid in as though on a stretcher as the Combat Medic works to save his life. [Medical: 4+2] He manages to stop the bleeding in his gut and severed arm, keeping Mycroft alive, but he is still recovering, as it were. He hears a scream of frustration and looks up, shouting at them to open the door and look for Brewer. [Stealth: 1] Cloud Brewer is so visible it actually hurts, off-setting the broken lens and basically restoring Mycroft's bonus without having to repair his camera. [5+2 v 9] Despite this, Brewer still dodges the flash of the camera, instead insta-freezing some poor man and his three children in a blue SUV behind them.
Lorillard acts first, popping out of cover to get the first shot off. [6 v 6] His aim is off slightly, hitting no one as the Monarchy steps off to fire back. [2 v 8] Lorillard's cover splinters as a hail of gunfire comes in, but the man himself is unharmed.
The Combat Medic, named Cyago, pulls out his side-arm of an MP-443 Grach pistol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP-443_Grach) and fires out the cloud, which does nothing to actually harm the intangible Brewer.

One would think being scared of a cloud is a bit of an overreaction. But the cloud chasing Mycroft is, in fact, a human being with a competition to win and a score to settle. Mycroft watches as Brewer gains on them, yelling out "Aaaaagh... get me away from here!" as he watches the cloud come towards him. [9] Brewer speeds up exponentially, practically on top of the car as Mycroft tries to defend himself. [3+1 v 9] A missed camera flash later, and he sees some bird just hanging there. He throws money out of the car and manages to get a [Ally Quality: 3] normal civilian helper, but it may not be enough.
Despite the adrenaline wearing off and the smell of iron filling his lungs, 47 doesn't actually feel any lethargy or pain. The burns have killed his nerve endings and so despite looking horrific, he doesn't actually feel the effects of his damage. Still, he heads into the ER, where a surviving tech ushers him into an empty room. [Treatment: 3+2 (Professionals)+1 (2020s Era Tech)] With some emergency ointments and bandages, the main issue of infection is minimized. It's up to 47 if he wants to wait for skin grafts or nerve reparation, but he won't die, at the least. His finger stumps are also patched over.
Back at the now seemingly-forgotten campus, a loud "VROOSH" noise repeats itself as the blue Police Box slowly comes into being at the school, just in time for the actual Seattle Police Department to arrive on the scene. Both Doctors and their companions exit the TARDIS, giving a friendly wave to a cop. [Response: 5] All in all, with two cops per car and six cars, the Doctors have twelve officers to aid them. "Show us where to, Mr..." one cop says, to which the Fifth Doctor responds "Well, see, I'm the Doctor." Silence, then the officer responds "Erm, Doctor who?" to which Five's only response is "Just the Doctor. That's all." [Scanning: 6+2+2 (Second Sonic Screwdriver] With the aid of two Sonics, the Doctors immediately identify Frances inside the school, along with their allies. With the instructions to only act against this unforseen Rwandan Monarchy, the Doctors race back inside the TARDIS and make a teensy jump.
Frances and her Stand, King Crimson, stand unseen by the Monarchy. The closest one to her is the King, the Big Guy, the ringleader. And with the soldiers preoccupied, she can indeed strike at all of them. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sj-S3NHymM). [6+2+2 (Stealth Bonus) v 4] Backing away so that they don't see her, Frances actually attacks in the opposite direction, keeping her in-stealth while doing damage. She starts with the Monarchy, as the (invisible to them) King Crimson suddenly tears into them. Punches are thrown that blow heads up and split body parts in half, and soldiers die all around them. There are only four survivors, three Soldiers and the King, remaining afterwards. But unbeknownst to Frances, the King suddenly smirks.[3+2+2 (Stealth) v 9] When King Crimson tries to punch at the patriarch, the King manages to block King Crimson's attack, parrying the blow with a sudden pink hand. Frances watches as the King suddenly turns to her, summoning his own Stand: a humanoid with cat-like features. The King smirks as he summons it with a specific name: Killer Queen. (http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Killer_Queen) [Accuracy: 7] And to make matters stranger, a blue police box suddenly emerges in the hallway, and out of it pops two rather dapper blokes, one with a scarf and another with celery.
Brewer smiles in this wispy cloud form as he hovers over to the driver's side of the van, popping in through the passenger's side window. [4 v 3] Turning human, Brewer attempts to shove the dude out of the truck while sitting on the lap of the other soldier, who is looking very surprised to see some random hobo on top of him. The driver resists enough and Brewer re-clouds, heading into Mycroft's area [Stealth: 6] unseen, but close to both of them.
As the three remaining soldiers make a break for the roof, Robert Tiviaev suddenly yells and charges forward, running towards the King in an attempt to shoulder check him, despite a big "No!" from Lorillard. [10 v 7] The dude gets an advantage on the King, knocking him over and punching at him [5 v 2], smashing the King's nose in. In retaliation, the King brings out Killer Queen [9 v 7] and just...pokes him. With Killer Queen's fingers. [Saving Throw: 2] Frances watches as Killer Queen turns to her, and presses it's finger to it's thumb like a plunger. And suddenly, Tiviaev explodes, no trace of him remaining after the smoke wafts off.
BSN: 'Kay, let me explain why the King got a Stand.
See, the thing is, you can't block or dodge something you don't know exists. Frances could miss, but I doubted it. So, I gave him a Stand from the Wiki, randomly rolled. As it turns out, the article I got was for Killer Queen's Stand User: Yoshikage Kira. And, well, there ya go. It was up to the dice if Tiviaev lived or died, I don't script these things out, after all. Failbird, if you have a problem with this, tell me so.

Well fuck I don't want to be here for longer than I have to, sure, go with them, briskly, but not taking my eyes off of Killer Queen. If Killer Queen approaches, have King Crimson intercept with its intense speed and strength.

With the bare minimum of survival now in hand, 47 pops out of the ER. The lobby is now visibly covered in blood and gore, and his director friend Frederic is still filming this carnage and mayhem, complete with criticizing himself for occasionally poor camera work. Shaking his head, the Agent of the ICA steps out of the hospital, and sets his gaze towards finding other Wiki-Warriors around the area. [Perception: 1] 47 finds literally no one. Not just Wiki-Warriors. There's an absence of civilians, cops, military, anyone. He is, however, surrounded by an abundance of cars, presumably either abandoned or no longer having a living owner to drive them.
As soon as the Doctors step out of the TARDIS, they are beset upon by a scene of horror. Not only do corpses line the hallways, but they see something. Two humanoids standing by the Wiki-Warrior and the King. Yes, Gallifreyans have enough latent psychic energy that they can perceive Stands, it would seem. [Lore Check: 2] The Doctors, however, don't actually know what a Stand is, so what they're seeing is actually rather beyond them. Still, they turn to Frances, the Fifth Doctor holding out his hand and saying "Hello, come with us if you want to live.", followed by the Fourth Doctor holding out a tin of gummy candy and asking "Would you care for a jelly baby?"
Meanwhile, back at the car chase, Brewer hovers over Mycroft's bed, unseen and unheard, as he begins to slowly creep into human form. [Stealth: 2] [Reactionary: 5+1 v 8] As soon as his flesh and blood feet hit the floor, though, Mycroft immediately points his camera at Brewer and cheekily asks "You... are quite persistent, aren't you?" before clicking the camera. Brewer, prepared for this, ducks under the flash and tries to kick Mycroft out of the car. [5 v 4] He manages a weak kick. The double doors in the back open up and Mycroft slides out, no worse for wear aside from being on a gurney. Or stretcher. Either or, really. With that, only him and five soldiers, four grunts and Cyago the Medic, remain just as he pulls out the Jackhammer. [6 v 2] Starting with Cyago, he fires it into his abdomen, pumping a hole into his stomach and sending him out of the car. [Injuries: 10] He lands neck first on the road which, keeping with the already fast momentum, kills Cyago instantly. [3 v 3] [3 v 1] [4 v 2] [1 v 9] He keeps firing, managing two good, non-lethal blows. On his last firing, though, the soldier ducks under and immediately counter-attacks, [5 v 6] firing his FN FAL rifle once, which narrowly misses Brewer's head
Frances looks to The King with his slasher smile, and Killer Queen with it's cat-like glare, and then nods to the Doctors. With that, the Fifth Doctor gestures to follow them as cops begin rushing up. The Fourth and Fifth Doctors, Frances, Lorillard, and both Romanas begin to travel up the stairs after the Monarchy (K9 is watching over the fort), [Reactionary: 8 v 10] only for Frances to see Killer Queen reaching for the Fourth Doctor's scarf almost immediately! [7+2 v 10] She punches at Killer Queen with King Crimson, only for the King to block the blow. This holds him back long enough for the Wiki-Warriors and their allies to jump up, however. The King enters in hot pursuit.
Speaking of which, the King begins gaining on them, first attacking a cop to get himself a bit of breathing room. [8 v 9] But eventually, the group outruns the King, who chooses to slump over at a wall, catching the blood from his nose on his hands.
[3+1 (Known Ambush) v 4] As soon as the group gets up to the rooftop, they are immediately set upon by gunfire, which they take cover behind. The three remaining Rwandan soldiers have taken up a position, with one holding a flare grenade in his hands. [8 v 2] Before he can do anything, he is shot right in the sternum by one of the cops and sent sprawling to the ground, dropping the flare grenade.
[7 v 4] [2 v 9] The guard that already shot at Brewer fires again, this time managing to catch another in his gut. As he doubles over from it, though, the other unharmed guard misses a burst fire, giving him ample time to protect himself. [Medical: 3] He grabs some bandages, but is unable to actually do anything with them before he is sent sprawling to cover [Cover: 3] of which there isn't much is a car, so he simply re-clouds.
[Two Turns] until the US and Canadian Militaries arrive.

Me and Lorillard will take up firing positions to take shots at the Rwandans, trying to avoid lethal shots. King Crimson will be doing its best to deal with incoming shots.
"If the King comes up here, and I'm guessing he will, it may be best if I deal with him alone. I don't do as well if there are others in the fight. Alternatively, if any of you can actually see his Stand, maybe it'll be better to have more guns trained on him at once."

The man will need to solidify in order to bandage himself, right? If he does so, freeze him. If he doesn't, freeze him anyway. Mycroft needs to buy time for Cobra to arrive.
If the blasted man is successfully frozen in human form, Mycroft's mercenaries will take some of his money(in coin form) and shove it down Brewer's open mouth into his frozen throat. Then they'll duct-tape his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears shut.

Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Evening, Clearing Up, 8/23/2020
Realizing that perhaps ground level isn't the best place to stand when it comes to looking for people basically spread out through the heart of Washington State, 47 looks around for a high place that can give him a good vantage point on Wiki-Warriors and their respective, equally colorful allies. [Perception: 4] The only high place he can track is the rooftop of the very hospital he was just in. So, he treks, traveling up there in an elevator until he makes it his destination. [Perception: 6] While the distance is great, Agent 47 does notice something going on back at the school. He hears gunfire, and sees a pitch black chopper hovering in a suburban area close by. Odds are good one or two Warriors are there.
Most people, upon seeing some random dude come into being out of a cloud, holding bandages and shouting "Clean cloth! I’m saved!" while standing over a stretcher bound cripple, would think they took LSD. But yeah, that's pretty much exactly what happened. Lucky guess. [Medical: 10] Brewer not only heals his wounds completely, stopping the blood flow, but he also does it quickly enough that his attention is back on Mycroft, allowing him to react much quicker. [+2 to next Conflict Roll]
A battle rages on over the rooftop of the school, as gunfire rings out and Sonic Screwdrivers...er, sonic, I guess? Frances and Lorillard stack up, guns drawn as Frances calls out "If the King comes up here, and I'm guessing he will, it may be best if I deal with him alone. I don't do as well if there are others in the fight. Alternatively, if any of you can actually see his Stand, maybe it'll be better to have more guns trained on him at once.". She and Lorillard survey the situation, only for the Fifth Doctor to act first. "Please allow us to disable their weapons first before you engage in a gunfight.", he says calmly, before he and Four use their Sonic Screwdrivers on the three Rwandans. [5+2+2] The Sonics suddenly deactivate the guns as the slides lock up and their magazines fall out. Three cops, one for each, suddenly bum-rush them [Strength: 7], knocking them down and cuffing each one. Lorillard simply says "That...works, too?" as Romana II and Romana III stack up by the door, waiting for The King.
Thanks to Brewer turning human in an attempt to bandage himself, Mycroft sees an opening. He sneers up to the vagrant and says "You are infuriating, persistent, and murderous." before suddenly going for his camera with his hand. [2+1 v 7+2] Brewer lunges for it, too, knocking off the bed and onto the very street itself. It doesn't damage any further, but it's left behind as the medical bed keeps rolling from sheer momentum. Luckily for Mycroft, though, his allies are striking out. Firstly, Cobra enters view, sprinting up at the street and pushing aside people. He sees the bed rolling, and follows it on the sidewalk, waiting for the right time...
And secondly, both Romanas look into the corridor, wielding the Desert Eagle and Ithaca, as footsteps trail up. [3 v 7] Thanks to their Time Lord perception, Romana III (the one with the Deagle) dodges just in time as a pink fist suddenly rocks out of the shadows towards her. The King suddenly lunges forth, sword in hand and snarling from the miss, [9 v 6] and cuts into Romana II's stomach. It's a shallow cut, non-lethal as of yet, but it still sends pain through her body as she rears back. Romana III responds [8 v 8] by firing the Deagle, which Killer Queen intercepts, knocking her gun hand up just before she pulls the trigger.
[One Turn] Tanks, Planes, and Infantry of both Canada and the US suddenly march in on Washington's borders, with news coverage all over the realistic, internal simulation of the world.
BSN:
(Question, is the King worth an article now?)
Yes! I'll, uh, grant him that.
Anyway, sorry for all the delays! Some things came up. I'm here now, though! Enjoy the turn!

"Everyone open fire! Try to incapacipate him if at all possible."
The Doctors shall... stand back and direct the fire and try to distract Killer Queen without endangering themselves.
Romana II shall try to distract Killer Queen by shooting her, while Romana III tries to shoot the King.

Deathmatch
Part XIII: The Unlucky Armies
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
The arrival of the king seems to throw the Doctor's plans into jeopardy. That Stand, Killer Queen, is an instant danger to all involved, and it must be stopped. The Fourth Doctor alerts the officers "Everyone open fire! Try to incapacitate him if at all possible, but do not get too close!", as both Romanas fire again, this time in equal measure at each target. [8 v 10] Romana II pumps the shotgun and fires at Killer Queen the Stand, but it dodges away swiftly, dancing from the spread of the pellets. Romana III fires next [1 v 8] only for the King to dodge to the left and retaliate instantly [6 v 8] with a sword swing that is dodged before it can rip her head off. The officers all fire at The King [8 v 6] managing one or two blows to his side.
Realizing that his options are now limited, Mycroft slowly turns his gaze from the camera to Brewer, his skin turning downright pale as he weighs his chances. Nodding, he reaches his remaining hand inside of his coat and asks "...ah. How about some more money?" while holding out another wad of bills. [9 v 10] But Brewer, though tempted, simply shakes his head. "eh. Seems like I have enough.", he responds, before suddenly hoisting Mycroft up as a human shield just as Cobra suddenly leaps towards them! [Grapple: 7 v 5] [7 v 9] Mycroft is unable to squirm out of the way of Brewer's grapple, but Cobra falls short of his attack, landing in a crouch on the road.
The time seems to have come for Stand on Stand combat. Frances walks towards the King and Killer Queen, a purple aura surrounding her as King Crimson returns to challenge them. King Crimson strikes first [5+2 v 9] swinging wildly in an arc that Killer Queen dodges. Luckily, Lorillard is there to provide a distraction, firing on the King [3 v 1] and clipping him in the shoulder, which distracts him! King Crimson throws another punch out [1+2 v 7-2 (Distracted)] only for Killer Queen to dodge just in the nick of time. Having had enough of this, Frances uses her actual bullets to fire at Killer Queen, knowing there is a difference between canon and this battle. [10 v 8-2] She fires an Enfield round into Killer Queen's stomach, and suddenly a gunshot wound bursts out of the King's stomach, dropping him to the ground.
Continuing his grappling hi-jinks, Brewer tries to keep hoisting Mycroft up as a meatshield [Grapple: 3 v 7-2 (One Handed)] but Mycroft suddenly breaks the hold and lays flat. Before Brewer can strike back, he suddenly sees Cobra and the van chasing towards him! [8 v 3] [1 v 10] He strikes at Cobra first, firing a single shot from his automatic that knocks Cobra down. Judging by the blood spray and his twitching, it clearly did a number on him. He then goes to fire at the van, only for his gun to jam just as one of them opens the window and fires his PP-2000 SMG at Brewer! [8 v 9] Round after round is fired, but the ride on the medical bed is bumpy and the shots tend to miss.
Seeing all the chaos at the school, Agent 47 wisely decides to try to sneak to the school, covering a long distance with his injuries. [Stealth: 1] Unfortunately, he is spotted immediately a sudden, speeding van of Rwandans, one of whom fires after the Hitman with an AK-47. [9 v 2] Three rounds suddenly are driven right into 47's torso, knocking him to the ground. He can hear his breaths turn shallow as a blood pool forms under him, [Survival: 8] but he manages to stay alive through sheer willpower and the ICA's survival training. He is badly bleeding, though, and there is no chance to retaliate before the Rwandans speed off.
The King fires back in his disorientated state, launching Killer Queen out towards Frances! [6-3 (Injuries and Disorientation) v 2] He doesn't touch her with the instant death bomb, but he manages to punch her in the face regardless.
The van-sped Rwandans keep fighting, firing more bullets at Rudy Brewer with reckless abandon. [7 v 9] But again, the PP-2000 misses.
The police fire their service pistols at the King, [6 v 8-3] grazing him further.
Suddenly, an alarm sounds. Over the horizon, there is suddenly a rumble near [1-3: 1] the school. An airplane suddenly jets overhead, and looking over the ledge of the building reveals the Doom Marine's last big middle finger to the competition: an absolute armada. Infantry, jeeps, humvees, tanks. The American and Canadian militaries have arrived, and they start by firing a shell right at the school. [Accuracy: 2] They shoot it into another building close by, but that building crumbles under the explosive power that the tank provides. The infantry downright storms the school.
BSN: O say can you see, by Ca-na-da! ...Don't @ me.
Anyway, wow, logistics! Hopefully the sheets are up to date.

Have one of the cops try to contact the militaries and establish a truce, the remaining cops and the two Romanas shall continue shooting the King, or try to arrest him if that counts as incapacitating him.
Should a truce not be established, retreat back into the TARDIS and get the hell out of Seattle.

Lying in a pool of his own blood in spite of the sheer willpower holding him together, Agent 47 looks around for anything and everything to use to staunch the bleeding from his new bullet wounds. [Scavenge: 4] Finding nothing, but full of survival instinct, 47 rips off bandages from the strips on the arms of his scarecrow disguise and aims to use them to stop the bleeding. [Medical: 1] Unfortunately, by the time he goes to his wounds, he can feel his body beginning to slow. He calls Frederic to call an ambulance to his location, [7] which will arrive soon, but it seems like it may be too late as his skin grows pale and his consciousness starts to blur. He chokes out a sigh, and rolls his head to the side, only to hear sirens fast approaching! If he can just hold on, he may very well make it. [Willpower: 5-2 (Death's Door)] The ambulance stops, but as the paramedics crouch over him, his vision slowly crawls to black.
[Medical: 2] The paramedics are unable to revive the Hitman.
The Rwandans incidentally killed 47! Mycroft gets:
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Remy_LeBeau_(Earth-616): +Ability: Molecular Accelaration: Can "charge" an item with kinetic energy to explosive results
Meanwhile, with the military on their heels, the Fifth Doctor observes the literally massive army of Americans and Canadians and gulps. "Seems like the cavalry has arrived and they're not at all pleased to see us.". Directing an officer to the rooftop's ledge, the two Romanas continue firing on The King. [1 v 8-2 (Injuries)] Romana II fires the Ithaca right into the wall to the left of the King as he immediately retaliates with Killer Queen! [10 v 3] The Stand touches the Ithaca and retreats [Saving Throw], before Romana throws the gun. Clicking the Stand's fingers together doesn't kill anyone, instead clattering to the ground. [5 v 6-2] Romana III fires her Deagle just as Killer Queen forces her arms up, firing it into his ear as the cops take aim. [2 v 1-2] The King suddenly takes a bullet to the chest. Then a second. The entire police force practically devours his flesh with their rounds, before he drops backwards, dead on impact with the rooftop's surface.
The Police Escort has killed the King! The Fifth Doctor gets:
https://prowrestling.fandom.com/wiki/Bella_Twins: +Allies: Nikki and Brie Bella
From the TARDIS downstairs, two female professional wrestlers pop out into the hallway, both of them awfully baffled as to where they are and why they arrived. Just then, the soldiers barge in and aim at the Bella Twins, [8 v 10] who manage to evade gunfire and come up to the roof. Meanwhile, the officer aims to make a truce with the military. [Convince: 7 v 8] [6 v 7] He is answered by a sniper round he just barely dodges.
Ignoring Mycroft's suddenly glowing and purple fingertips, he aims his Jackhammer at Mycroft and gruffly demands "call off those people, or I’ll blow your brains out, m’kay?", before reloading both his Super 90 and Pancor Jackhammer to their full size.
With the King dead, Frances and Lorillard duck behind cover.
As his life hangs in the balance of a murderous, possibly homeless vagrant, Mycroft looks around for something, anything that could save him. But a plan comes to mind. A stupid one. But one nevertheless. With his straightest face, he looks back up to Mycroft and pulls on a look of simultaneously being impressed and heavily attracted. "Your tenacity... your courage in facing down immeasurable odds... I think I'm in love." he says with a straight face, all the while reaching a hand up to Brewer. [10+3 (Seduction Bonus, Acting Bonus, Bribery Bonus) v 3+3 (Injuries, Incompatible Orientation)] Brewer is absolutely stunned and lost for words at this. He never thought he could accept a man he was trying to kill...he lowers his aim and looks down to Mycroft.
Either getting the plan or being just as stunned as Brewer is, the Rwandans just...watch. [Medical: 7] Cobra limps down, and also just...watches.
The Combined Forces pull out a megaphone, and begin immediately shouting at the Doctor, Frances, and company. "Listen here, interlopers!" he snarls out, "This area is under the control of the combined forces of the United States and Canada. Step down with your hands up, and maybe, just maybe we'll let you swine live! OORAH!" followed by a chorus of "OORAH!" come from street level.
BSN: OORAH! Sorry, it's in my head now.

Negotiate with the US-Canadian Joint Force, should they accept my offer of teaming up with them, wait for some soldiers to come to the roof and then proceed to interrogate the arrested Rwandan soldiers.
Should they only accept in letting us leave, then have the two wrestlers pick up the guns of the Rwandan soldiers and head to the TARDIS.
Should negotiations fail, ignite the flare, arm the wrestlers and fight our way through to the TARDIS, the Doctors disabling the weapons of any soldiers they encounter and the rest of my personal army shall keep the soldiers in check, preferably killing and wounding as few soldiers as possible.

No, no it is not. He can action to will himself out of it (at a severe penalty, given the 10+ roll), but if he can't, the rest of his action is so redundant that it wouldn't matter.

((One more question: how much control over my molecular acceleration do I have? Like, can I charge something and make it blow up an hour later?))
Just from Gambit's wiki-page: no, the larger the object is, the more time it takes to charge it in the first place. Size of the object determines the size of the explosion, so a playing card would detonate like a grenade. And it does not seem to work on living tissue.

Play up the sympathy angle(bonus for woundedness!), penalize his ability to break free even more.
If that doesn't succeed, time for an attack: charge up a roll of duct tape and blow him to smithereens with it. By throwing it.
But it probably will succeed, so when it does:
"Now, love, our best chance at winning this deathmatch together will be to acquire some more allies. I'll do my best to use my resources to acquire some more hired help. You, on the other hand, should try to get me a meeting with the person in charge of the military. I do believe the Army has shown up, yes? If you can get me a meeting with their leader I'm confident I can sway them to our side. If things go south, well, you are functionally invincible with your cloud state."
Being madly in love with me, he should follow this suggestion.

(Hey, can I see if the object he’s charging is different, or is it not changed in appearance?)
It has a faint purple glow when charging, and when thrown, the whole object is enveloped in a purple aura.

Brewer knows there's something odd about this. Sudden crush on the man he's killing. It's so strange and alien a feeling, that he feels compelled to will himself out. But Mycroft keeps going, saying "But you wouldn't shoot your one true love, would you?" with a pouting lip and a glance down at his missing arm [9+2 (Woundedness)] which damages Brewer's will even further. [9-5 (All Factors)] He regains enough conscious thought to realize that, no, this isn't normal. But maybe this is genuine, maybe there's an angle, but whatever it is might be necessary. "Now, love, our best chance at winning this deathmatch together will be to acquire some more allies. I'll do my best to use my resources to acquire some more hired help. You, on the other hand, should try to get me a meeting with the person in charge of the military. I do believe the Army has shown up, yes? If you can get me a meeting with their leader I'm confident I can sway them to our side. If things go south, well, you are functionally invincible with your cloud state.", to which Brewer only responds with a crushing hug.
The Doctors are unfazed by this fit of violence, stepping forward themselves with the cop's megaphone to negotiate. The Fifth Doctor speaks, stating "We were going to leave anyway, me and my companions have successfully aided the officers in apprehending the Rwandan soldiers, just look around you and take a look at the handywork of these soldiers. We could bring the remaining soldiers to justice if you permit us to work with you, otherwise I must ask you to stop shooting at us and allow us to leave, and should you not even be able to do that, at least leave the officers out of this, they're just doing their job.", before stepping back, hoping it worked. [7] The General responds back "Well, then fuck off! Get out of our way and we won't have to hurt you ourselves!" The Doctors nod, allowing Nikki Bella to pick up a USP.45 and Brie to pick up a MP5K. The Doctors, Romanas, and Bellas head down to the TARDIS to the armed gaze of the soldiers, opening the doors to K-9 and the console.
Meanwhile, Frances and Lorillard wonder what to do, so Frances uses Epitaph:
Coming down the stairs, Frances and Lorillard come to a grisly sight. The window is smashed as only four soldiers live. The rest are in pieces, splattered against the walls as limbs are strewn about the place.
With that, the military begin marching into Seattle proper...just as Blackhawk circles back. [6 v 6] Firing it's twin rotary guns, the soldiers duck and cover as round after round crashes into equipment. The militaries respond with a tank shell [5 v 1] that crashes into the bottom of the chopper, sending it crashing towards the main school building. [Avoidance: 5] It hits inside, attacking the soldiers in front of the TARDIS. [9 v 2] Of the twelve that surrounded the vessel, eight of them are chopped up by blades that smash through the window, splashing blood on the hallways before the durable chopper regains control and flies away.
BSN: Sorry it took so long! Problems and details and detailed problems.
With that said, let's hit it.

As for sub-wikis, the way I do them is either on whims or related to the person's username or PFP. I just go to whatever sub wiki I want, randomize a few times, and if nothing useful comes up, I move on to another. I do branch out from franchises I am 100% interested in on occasion, so don't feel beholden to just what you feel comfortable with!

That's an interesting way to go about it! I found out a way to generate "sub-wikis" (aka, using seventh sanctum's crossover generator and picking the first series that pops up) but yours is pretty clever.
Have fun with the games everyone!

Convince Brewer that it's for the best that he go along without me. If he does insist on taking me... well, convince him to bring along my mercenaries and be careful when loading me in. It's for my safety, he'll understand.
Make sure that one of my mercenaries brings along my camera. Brewer shouldn't have any problems with me bringing along my equipment. I'm basically helpless without it, after all!

Part XVI: Roll Up and Roll In
Goddard College Campus, Seattle, Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_College)
Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Once inside the Gallifreyan time machine, the two Doctors immediately sit Romana II down at a chair and take a look at the slash in her stomach. It is not dangerous or life threatening, a simple shallow cut, but at the very least, the blood loss must be stemmed at once. [Medical: 7+2 (Assistance)] Luckily, with two versions of the extremely clever Time Lord, the Doctors manage to seal the wound shut. Satisfied, and giving a British salute to the cops as they enter in, the two then use the scanners in the TARDIS. [6+3 (Time Lord Tech)] The scanners in the TARDIS collect the life signatures of two Wiki-Warriors in quite literally close proximity in main city Seattle. They wait for Frances and Lorillard.
Coming down the stairs, Frances and Lorillard come to a grisly sight. The window is smashed as only four soldiers live. The rest are in pieces, splattered against the walls as limbs are strewn about the place. The four living soldiers are clearly panicking and in duress, staring in horror at the Rwandans' black chopper, Blackhawk, as it flies away. Quite literally stepping over body parts as they enter the TARDIS, they are immediately shaken by take-off as the doors close behind them. [Space Accuracy: 5] With the trademark vworp, vworp, vwoorp of the TARDIS engine, the Doctors fly out to greet the Wiki-Warriors...but they appear to be a bit late as they spot the van full of Rwandan mercs driving off after the two Warriors on a stretcher.
Brewer goes...erm, love crazy, as it were. Driven with the desire to protect his new flame, he immediately leaps off the stretcher with Mycroft in tow, and begins running around in search of a car. Mycroft tries to dissuade him by saying "Heh. While I appreciate your enthusiasm in keeping me safe, I think that I will be safer here with my mercenaries. While you are an amazing person, you are a little... reckless. I would rather not get in another car crash. Please, my love?" but Brewer's unswayed. [Scavenge: 5] He finds a car, but it's a blue smart car. So, rather than chucking Mycroft into the back seat, he carefully loads Mycroft in, allowing the crippled and possibly dying Cobra to come in. He gives Mycroft the camera and begins walking away [Medical: 10], immediately climbing into the van for pristine medical treatment. Brewer goes into the front seat [Scavenge: 7] and manages to find a Colt Single Action Army in the glovebox, the cheeky scamp.
The military begins rolling in to Seattle proper, driving past a barren and ruined hospital and library as they cover ground.
BSN: I'm not letting any more games die. I say this because I typed this because the last turn was nine days ago and I started a second game in the process, so I will make it my goal to juggle them.

Give Cobra a medical examination as best as I can with my eyes.
"Now then... I believe getting more help may be of use."
Sherlock Scan: see about borrowing a merc's smartphone to go on Ebay and buy a genuine Stand-Granting Arrow. Select express drone delivery.
Sherlock Scan: similar thing. Except the Dark Net and hiring a very professional sniper hitman. Sic him on the other Wiki-Warriors(except Brewer for now).
And if possible, phone whoever's in charge of the incoming military. Bribe him and bribe his high officers to ignore me and my friends and hunt down the other Wiki-Warriors. Auto-success due to Charismatic and Wealthy.
Oh, and put a quarter-billion Australian currency bounty on each other Wiki-Warrior(other than Brewer, for now)'s head.

Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Inspecting the 147-year old design of the likely more recently made revolver in his hand, gawking at the expert and delicate craftsmanship of the firearm, Brewer notes "An American gun? Weird." before slipping the gun he found in America in his jacket. He climbs into the front seat, allowing Mycroft to do some things real quick. He calls out for a mercenary, shouting "Hm... hey, Cobra? You alright? I don't want you to die on me." Popping out of the van, thanks to the medical aid of his fellow Rwandans, Cobra appears to be alive, at the least. Bandages are covering his whole body, [Perception: 10] but he's walking as normal. Mycroft nods and and says "Now then... I believe getting more help may be of use." before holding out his hand. Cobra nods and also brings out his own smartphone, before passing it to Mycroft as the van drives off without him. He pulls up Ebay and begins looking for a specific item. [7+2 (Detective Work)] An Arrow, with a specific beetle design that appears ornate and quite exquisite. There is only one available, the item description reading "Found this beauty in a bombed out house in Morioh, in Japan. I don't know how much it's worth, appraisers don't know where it could've come from, so I'm setting a bid." Indeed, there is a bidding going on which, with Mycroft's bottomless pockets, he wins effortlessly, boosting the price to around A$2,500. He selects express delivery by drone, and simply waits a tick. He then does the same thing, this time firing up the TOR engine and using a wiki link to access a Deep Web. [8+2] He finds a private, impossible to find webpage through his detective skills. A hitman, specializing in sniper rifles, by the name of "Peacekeeper" [3+2] though his detective work uncovers that his first name is Joel. He hires the hitman on a "Doctor John Smith, a singer named Frances Taylor, and anyone they may be with at the time," and gives the locations and descriptions in a private message, untraceable by the government. He attempts to phone the higher superiors of the military, but natural, cellphones off during combat procedures. Finally, he calls a local police outfit and files down a bounty with a large price tag. With that done, Brewer just begins driving around as Mycroft throws the phone back.
Undeterred by the slight delay, the Doctors immediately put a plan into action. Chasing down both the van and the life signatures on a terminal, they pop the doors open and get Romana and Romana to begin firing on the van's wheels. [5 v 5] Romana II, armed with the Ithaca, blasts at the back wheel, most likely to cause at least a spin out. But the van swerves just in time. Meanwhile, the pistol wielding Romana III fires as well [8 v 9] but simply misses. Frances and Lorrilard also aid them. [3 v 6][10 v 1] Frances whiffs a shot with the Enfield, but Lorillard hits dead on. With the speed the van has been going, even losing the one wheel causes a massive spin-out. [Damage: 9+2 (Accurate Destruction)] The van spins out of control before landing into a building right in the front. The van makes several flips before finally coming down upside down. There is a fire in the hood, but not even a moan of pain. Continuing on to the smart car, the four fire another four shots. [7 v 2][4 v 2][3 v 9][9 v 2] Three of the wheels are popped immediately, to only a stop as the van, well, stops.
Suddenly, out of the parking area comes Cobra, who is pointing his Makarov PM right into the open doors of the TARDIS. [3 v 6] Unfortunately, his aim is still shaky due to the effects of painkillers and it flies to the side. The Doctors close the doors before he can fire again, and all seems well, save for some sort of ominous note. [8+2 (Surprise) v 1] And that's when the Fifth Doctor is shot in the back from behind. Everyone whips their heads around to see one of the officers being brought down to the ground and detained, the corrupt officer screaming "YOU HEARD THE MAN ON THE PHONE! ALL THAT MONEY! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE, EVERY BOY FROM THE PRECINCT IS DROPPING HIS HELP FOR THAT CASH!" as he is handcuffed. Frances, Lorillard, the Romanas, and even the Doctor's past incarnation look back to see the Fifth Doctor glowing gold. He is Regenerating.
As a sniper clambors over the rooftops of Seattle, a drone comes by the stopped smart car, dangling the Stand Arrow in wires. "Here you go, sir." it responds as Mycroft grabs it with his remaining arm. He then passes a wad of money to the drone, which flies off. Behind him, the military is getting close, walking by the van with dead bodies inside as they come closer to the immobile smart car.
BSN: I love it when I name a Part something for one reason and it ends up paying off for the whole turn. :D
Anyway, yes, a little later then I wanted. I'm sorry! Been a busy few days. Also, yes, Regeneration is back. My fellow Doctor Who fans: how you feelin' about Jodie Whittaker thus far?

There's something far more sinister at work here, and I'm the only one who can stop it."
First things first, confiscate the radios and cellphones and any other communication devices the cops possess, can't risk that more of them fall under Mycroft's influence.
Regenerating Doctor: Stay at the back of the TARDIS, away from the doors and regenerate.
Fourth Doctor: Communicate with the military outside, warning them about the extreme danger of Mycroft and how they can't allow him to even talk.
Everyone else: Prepare to storm out and capturing Mycroft and Brewer by forming up. Have Lorillard, Frances and her Stand stand by the door, should they do anything else other than standing at the door or attacking our enemies, kill them.
Position the cops behind my hostages, followed by the Bella twins behind the cops, followed by the Romanas and K9 behind them.

"Now then... it has come to this, eh? BREWER! COBRA! IF I SHOUlD FALL, DO NOT LET THE BEETLE ARROW FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS! ... well, here goes nothing."
Mycroft lets his determination to win this twisted game build to a crescendo as he cuts himself with the Stand Arrow. If Brewer asks, he gets cut as well. If Cobra somehow reaches Mycroft's location in time, he can receive a cut as well.

Deathmatch
Part XVIII: Stand Proud

Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
Chaos permits across the TARDIS. The blood of a Time Lord stains the white console room, splattering crimson against the canvas, as the officer who shot The Doctor himself is held down. In the midst of this madness, though, Frances quickly comes up with a plan to sort these things out in an advantageous way. Lorillard pulls out his pistol and Frances does the same to her rifle, and the two of them fling the doors of the TARDIS open. [5 v 3] [1 v 1] Frances fires her Lee-Enfield into the car, striking into Brewer's elbow and not doing much more than spill blood all over the Smart Car. Lorillard, meanwhile, fires his M1911, but whether out of pain or intentionally throwing off aim, Cobra drops to a knee, causing the round to sail over his head. Secretly, unbeknownst to anyone but the Time Lords in the room, King Crimson grabs the sidearm of the Rogue Cop, another M1911, and racks the chamber back. The bullet is quickly caught by the swift fingers of the Stand, who simply throws the whole cartridge at the car. [2+2 v 9] Even with King Crimson's strength, the cartidge's off-balance simply lodges the round into the metal of the car, just above the window.
As the Fifth Doctor clutches his wound as best as he can, doing not much more than pouring his blood over his hand, he turns to the cops, confused and shocked. With gutted, stilted breath, he asks "W-Why did you shoot me? Don't you u-understand why you're here? Mycroft is b-behind the attack on...the campus, and back then w-without my help surely some of you would've been i-injured or killed during our encounter with the mercenaries, d-don't you understand that whatever money he is promising you, is bound to be a mere fraction of his real wealth, he's so close and we're so close to capturing him, once we do, don't you understand that you can confiscate all of his money? There's something far more sinister at work here, and I'm the only one who can stop it." [Convincing: 7] While the Rogue Cop doesn't see much change, the rest of them seem to agree as they full-on cuff the mad man before slamming his head into the floor of the console room, [7 v 1] knocking him out cold. Even with this loyalty in place, though, they agree to give over their communications equipment to Romana II to be confiscated. The Fifth Doctor heads to the back, to Regenerate, as the Fourth Doctor pops out of the TARDIS and tries to wave over the military. "LISTEN! MYCROFT IS A DANGER UNTO US ALL!" he calls out "YOU WANT HIM GONE, NOT US!" [Convincing: 1] The response of the soldiers is to stop and stare at the blithering Wiki-Warrior before a squad of five opens fire on him. [2 v 5] [1 v 8] [1 v 3] [10 v 1] [4 v 5] Four of them miss their shots, sending him comedically scrambling around. When they're done, he breathes a sigh of relief. "Phew...you almost shot m-" and then his brains empty out the back of his head as the fifth soldier caps him with his sidearm. Luckily, thanks to the Regenerative energies, he heals from this, but is caught Regenerating. After this happens, all the crew of the Doctor begins stacking up by the door, ready to pounce upon the group.
In the midst of even more chaos, Jesus Christ, it's chaotic, Mycroft finally is pushed over the edge. Leaning over Brewer, he holds his camera out over the open door. [3+2 v 1] He captures the entire Doctor Party in one shot, freezing them, before turning to the back window for the military. [3+2 v 2] He is unable to attain this feat, but the squad who shot the Doctor dead are frozen, at least. Upon this, he looks down to the Stand Arrow in his lap. "Now then... it has come to this, eh? BREWER! COBRA! IF I SHOULD FALL, DO NOT LET THE BEETLE ARROW FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS!" he shouts out, before gulping and setting his camera down. "... well, here goes nothing." and with that, he stabs himself with the Arrow. He feels a purple light overwhelm him before a new sense of power envelops his body. He feels a small hole appear in his forehead, along with a key suddenly sticking out of his mouth. He knows, intuitively, that he can bring other people to a room of his subconscious by sticking the key in the hole. Taking the key out and setting in on the dashboard, he names this Stand "Mr. President." (http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Coco_Jumbo) Cobra comes by to see just what happened, only for him to suddenly get stabbed with the Arrow. The purple light washes over him, and once it does, sand suddenly erupts by Mycroft's feet as his own Stand awakens. It's a...dog-motorcycle. As the Stand moves, the sand moves with it, and Cobra shivers before stating the Stand's name: The Fool. (http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/The_Fool)
Brewer looks at all this with confusion in it's purest form, before holding his arm out to be stabbed as well. Once he is, the Light comes over him. A small Larvae creature is in his lap now, appearing as a cross between mechanism and insect. It places the onomatopoeia of wind blowing on the car door, "Woosh", and when Brewer touches it, he suddenly hears gushing wind come from it. While not suited for combat yet, Brewer can tell that it evolves over time, and thus is compelled to the name "Echoes ACT 1" (http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/Echoes) It's cool and all, but there be people to shoot. He leans his Super 90 out of the window and fires it into the person first in line out of the TARDIS: Lorillard. [1 v Auto...Huh. I can't actually have a 1 succeed, this has never happened before] Somehow, despite being frozen, the pellets still miss Lorillard.
The Fifth Doctor finally Regenerates. His brown hair is replaced by blonde curls, and his personality shifts. Darker and more willing to hurt and kill, but still genuinely empathetic, The Sixth Doctor (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/DoctorWhoSixthDoctor) stands in the TARDIS.
[9 v 4-2 (Powerful Injury)] The Army General they had spoken to earlier, General Capson, stands over the Fourth Doctor and simply double-taps him. The gold energy fades as the Fourth Doctor of another timeline dies for real. But, syntax being what it is, this counts. [3+3 (Powerful Weapon) v 1] Suddenly, the sound of a raygun blasts over as Capson suddenly turns X-Ray for a split second before collapsing with severe burns. Out of a nearby building amongst screaming Civilians, the Doctor's worst enemy appears in a trio. And they only have one word to say: "EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"
BSN: Thank you all. Seriously. This has hammered home the point that, on a forum, you can come back to something after a while and still find someone willing to play.
Now...give it up for the Daleks! What a whammy.

Mycroft cuts himself, Brewer, and Cobra again. If the legends he has heard are right...
"Alright, Doctor! You have been a worthy opponent! But I'm afraid that your time is up!"
Mycroft counts out several wads of money, and throws them in the air towards the other incoming military squads, buying their services. His request? Kill the Doctor(and his allies). To prevent the Doctor's likely escape(which will probably happen as those strange aliens showed up and his allies are frozen), Mycroft freezes the blue box spaceship.

Deathmatch
Part XX: World Enough and Time
Seattle, Washington
Late Evening, Clear Skies, 8/23/2020
With Regeneration Sickness sending the newly birthed Sixth Doctor stumbling around his console room, some facts haven't quite hit his brain yet. He stumbles to the doors and looks out to the dead body of his own past self, frowning with a somber gaze. "I'm sorry my friend, your death shall not be in vain." he says, before looking out to the street, looking back to his party, then whipping his head back until realizing the presence of his immortal enemies. He turns back to his body and rambles "Ah, I can see the Daleks, they've come to exterminate us all. We can't fight against them, not now, not at this time-why aren't you moving?" He holds it hand out and waves it in front of Frances' face, and comes to the realization that they are frozen in time. He rushes back to the console, [Retaliation: 4+2 v 1] but before he can take off, he hears a camera flash and the TARDIS console ceases to move. Enraged, he rushes out, screwdriver in hand. [3+2 v 2] With a click and a whir, the camera temporarily snaps shut, unable to freeze anything again at this juncture.
In spite of this, he still seems rather satisfied with this turn of events. "Perfect. Now then... this arrow was well worth the purchase. Perhaps, though, there's a bit more I can do with it..." According to legend, if the Arrow allows you to stab yourself, your Stand gains a new power, as documented with Yoshikage Kira. But if you stab your own Stand, it gains a whole new form and power, a power that renders fate meaningless: the Requiem Stand. While Mycroft merely wishes to stab the bodies of his allies, this information may bode useful, should the Arrow allow it. [Worthiness: 9] [2] [4] The Arrow plunges back into Mycroft's flesh, and he immediately feels weightless and yet surrounded by his own aura. This Arrow Ability is Mr. President's Secret Service, and it allows him to teleport into his pocket dimension himself whilst summoning clones to battle with his allies. He heads to Cobra, but the Arrow warps around the mercenary. The Arrow does not permit him. Finally, he pierces Brewer, but it only bumps Echoes up to ACT 2, which carries the ability to bring sound effects to life. Much more useful when you can set people on fire. Still, this is not enough, so, he tauntingly shouts "Alright, Doctor! You have been a worthy opponent! But I'm afraid that your time is up!" before suddenly flinging money up to buy off the army. At the sight of all this money from another country that they value for some reason, the Military focuses their efforts.
Grumbling under his breath, Brewer turns to his darling and passes off the Single Action Army before looking to the window. "I need to get more practice with these things" he mutters, before popping the window down, and firing again at the Sixth Doctor. [5 v 9] He fires the Super 90 again, pellets striking through the TARDIS, though none hitting the Doctor himself.
Finally unfrozen, Frances and Lorillard shake off the effects of their freezing before firing their weapons into the car. [6+2 v 3] [10 v 10] Frances angles her shot correctly and fires her Lee-Enfield at Mycroft himself. The bullet flies through the window and suddenly strikes him right in the abdomen. Blood begins leaking out all over the place as Mycroft's breath grows labored from the agony. Lorillard fires at Brewer with the M1911, but right on time, the hobo uses Echoes ACT 2 to create the sound *PING!* which, when pushed, suddenly creates a shield that bounces the bullet away before disappearing. Frances tries a much more unorthodox strategy: using King Crimson's strength to hurl something at them. [1+2 v 7] King Crimson throws the gun at the car, but it sails overhead, landing in a bush somewhere. With everyone unfrozen, they shut the doors to the TARDIS.
The military, despite the bribe, still don't go after the Doctor and his allies right away. Why? Because of the Daleks. The three Daleks, bronze in casing, glide across the ground. [4 v 10+Trait: Bulletproof] Infantry begins littering the Daleks with bullets, but blue light shimmers over them as a shield as the Daleks simply push forward, screaming "WE MUST KILL THE TRUE DOC-TOR! ALL HUMANS SHALL DIE TO THE DALEKS! EX-TER-MIN-ATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!" [3+3 v 3] [4+3 v 6] [10+3 v 7] The Daleks fire into the infantry, immediately killing one soldier who drops to the ground with little more than a gasp of pain. Another fires right at Cobra, who survives, but Mycroft can see him covered in burns, still struggling to breathe even after surviving a blast. Finally, a third blast strikes a tank's fuselage, detonating it. [Casualities: 7] A chunk of infantry is suddenly killed instantly by a violent explosion, and the rest flank to scatter away from the blast.

Travel back in time as soon as the console unfreezes. Start coming up with a plan on how to deal with the Daleks in the meantime, also consult both Romanas, they may not be the Doctor, but they still have a +2 planning bonus each.
Everyone else: Keep the doors shut and shoot anything that tries to enter the TARDIS.

Borrow Cobra's smartphone and freeze the hated blue box, as well as the Daleks, by taking a picture using the smartphone. Then use Mr. President to stow Cobra in the safe room, and activate Secret Service.
The Secret Service doppleganger will then run towards the blue box, trying to get to the door or ideally inside it. Where it will then: 1) attempt to bribe the Ramonas, and 2) charge its suit to the point of explosion with Molecular Acceleration.
While inside the safe room, Mycroft will do his best to tend to his wounds and those of Cobra, applying an emergency time freeze using the smartphone if necessary.

With the TARDIS doors unfrozen despite the ship's current state being so, Frances and Lorillard watch the door with a steely gaze and their guns drawn. Lorillard looks to his ally in the chaos and asks "So...got any plans?" [9] Frances nods and gestures a hand back to the console. "Just stay in here," she says, "As soon as this unfreezes, we can travel through time and space. And then? Why yes, and then indeed, but I'm confident that it will be a deciding factor. Bunker down." Lorillard nods and takes that into consideration, taking cover by the doors.
Mycroft gasps and clutches at his wound, choking a bit of wincing breath before turning his gaze to glare right at the TARDIS. "Gaah! But if that's all you've got... I'm not giving up! I'll need to borrow this, Cobra," he says, holding out his right hand (his good one) to his subordinate, gesturing and pointing at the burned man's phone before realizing his mistake. He climbs out of the car and grabs the smartphone before looking up and snapping a shot at the Daleks. [10+2 v 9] He clicks off a snap at the three Daleks, stopping them in their tracks. But then, the lights on their heads light up. "OUR SER-VOS ARE IM-PAIRED! EX-PLAIN! EX-PLAIN!" They can't move, but they're still conscious. Curiouser and curiouser. [Knowledge Check: 1] Especially unhelpful is the fact that besides the obvious about them (powerful space Nazis), what the Daleks actually are doesn't seem too obvious. With that done, he turns to the TARDIS and snaps at it, too. [1+2 v 9] But somehow, that doesn't seem to work. Looking through the camera reveals a bar not on any smartphone in the real world: what looks like a Timer for the time stop. It's not slowed or reset in the slightest.
Grumbling, Mycroft presses places the smartphone in his pocket, opens the car door, and grabs the key to Mr. President. Unlocking the keyhole in his face (that seems to disappear when not in use. Handy.), he suddenly feels his consciousness transporting. Within a split second, he suddenly finds himself in what looks like a hotel room. There's a three seat couch, a love seat, a TV, a fridge, medical supplies, cabinets stocked with stuff, and a lack of bathroom, sadly. Walking over to the medical supplies, [4+2 (Supplies)] Mycroft manages to patch up his stomach wound with one hand. It's not much. But it'll hold. Meanwhile, in the real world, Mycroft slumps down as an identical copy of himself seems to emerge from his body, carrying on all injuries and marks, save for wearing a blue suit with sunglasses. It grabs Cobra and chucks him into Mr. President. [9+2] After emerging from the...elevator? It looks like? Cobra is immediately set upon by Mycroft, who applies burn ointment, bandages, and especially important: painkillers. With a buzz to his system, he stands on his own two feet. In the real world, Mycroft's Secret Service Agent runs right towards the TARDIS [Strength: 9 v 3] and he suddenly kicks the doors open to the surprise of the...well, everyone inside, including the TARDIS itself. [Bribery: 4 v 4] He flings money at the Romanas, but they seem too stunned by the sudden appearance of a blue suited Mycroft to act. Unlike Lorillard [1-2 (Stunned) v 1] who fires, and then he misses. Mycroft lands on the ground in a sweet pose, moving his arms and legs like an ancient Greek statue before tapping his suit. His suit then suddenly begins glowing purple. "DUCK!" The Sixth Doctor screams, before The Secret Service Agent suddenly explodes. [4 v 1] [8 v 3] [9 v 6] [9 v 6] [7 v 9] [2 v 2] The Doctor is thrown into the wall, which does not kill him or maim him, but it splits the skin on the back of his head open, spilling blood regardless. Frances is not as lucky, being blown out of the TARDIS, her left leg snapping at the knee from the impact in addition to bloody wounds across her body. Lorillard are K-9 are injured in the blast, though not killed, as are the Bella Twins. Finally,the Romanas, the Cops and the TARDIS itself seem to be rather unharmed. After the Secret Service Agent's suicide bombing, Mycroft is pulled out of Mr. President, leaving Cobra inside his body.
Now is Brewer's chance. He exits the car and walks right to Frances, holding a shotgun to her head. [5 v 6] Frances jerks away at just the right time to avoid getting decapitated. Brewer lets out a groan of anger before suddenly remembering "Oh, right," as he looks at the armed soldiers and the frozen Daleks. Without any prompting, he turns into a cloud and flees, no one bothering to shoot at the weird cloud guy.
The TARDIS finally unfreezes as the Romanas drag Frances' battered body inside. The Doctor limps his way back to the console and shuts the door remotely, before looking to the Romanas. "Any ideas?" [6+2+2] As it turns out, one comes to mind: going back in time to erase the Daleks. The Doctor nods and jumps the Time Circuits back. [Time Accuracy: 10] [Space: 6] The TARDIS lands at the school as the military was leaving, but behind the school rather than in it.
BSN: Hey! Not bad, but not perfect either. Sorry. Just been a while, need to find my footing again.
I will make a separate post with the updated sheets. Feels like a bit of extra work to do that I could accomplish later. I ask that no one posts until they're up, except to reply that you're still around. So, what I'm actually asking is not to make your action until after I do so. Yeah. Thank you.

Chase after the Doctors, warn them to continue as planned, except that once they shoot out the tires of Mycroft's car that they are to regroup at the school roof instead of landing. Also warn them about the traitor cop.
Once the Doctors have been warned, chase after the military general and try to negotiate an actual truce with the aid of the psychic paper. Warn the general about Mycroft, his powers and what will happen if the Doctor is killed. Also provide him with the exact location of Mycroft and request a medic or two to treat our injuries.

As the "VWORP-VWORP" of the TARDIS winds down, the Sixth Doctor leans against the console, slightly out of breath from the earlier impact. "Is everyone ok? Mostly ok? I must admit this went way better than I expected, now to find and warn myself," he rambles, in his usual style of not breathing until he's already gone off somewhere else, before flinging the doors of the TARDIS open and rushing out into the school, trying to warn himself about what's going on. [Chase: 7+2 (Knowledge of Location and Time)] The Sixth Doctor emerges just in time to watch as Blackhawk's crash murders the soldiers surrounding the TARDIS. As it flies off, his past selves and their companions rush down the stairs. "STOP!" he yells, waving his arms and rushing over. Naturally, the Wiki-Warriors are skeptical and put their guard up, but he pleads. "Listen, I am your future incarnation as the Doctor, and-" only to be interrupted by his immediate predecessor going "What? We die again? What's with this bloody competition. And what is with your hair?" The Sixth Doctor cups the curly blonde locks in his hands and gives off an offended scowl. "You're one to talk about appearances, what with the damn vegetable on your lapel!" to which Four smirks and replies "Yeah, he has to be us, he hates it, too." In return, Five scowls at both of them. The good-natured ribbing turns serious as Six continues "Just listen! I am your immediate future incarnation! Time does not work here in the same way it does in our world. There are no fixed points, I can just tell! The future's a rough one. Continue as planned, Mycroft will be in a car, after you shoot the wheels out, hide on the roof here instead of engaging, do you understand? Also, traitor cop, it's that one, beat him up." Both Time Lords look at eachother and nod, though said traitor cop looks mildly offended before the other cops suddenly grab him, and with that, Six gives a wave and runs back to his TARDIS. "We won't be altered, fellows, and I doubt Mycroft and the hobo's situations will have changed much. But this would erase the Daleks formed from my past incarnation's death."
Meanwhile, in said present day, Myrcroft suddenly feels some of his gunshot wounds heal. The rest of the world still looks like it should, but he suddenly gains blood and loses wounds. And the Daleks are...vanishing? Something odd is happening, the time has come to pass. Mycroft grabs the Arrow and thrusts it into the keyhole on his forehead. He feels power well up inside as the keyhole vanishes, but in it's place emerges a new key. A blue key, with a red gem in the end and three notches for the tumblers. He knows from his Stand's intuition that he can use this on something, and when he runs over to where the TARDIS once stood, there is a keyhole. This is the new ability granted: that to enter another person or area's pocket dimension as a means of tracking and teleportation. This is Mr. President's Secret Service Requiem.
As Brewer hovers overhead in his cloud form, suddenly, other cloud humanoids emerge from out of nowhere, followed by normal humans and beings of various other species. And they throw a massive party right then and there. There's a keg, and a boombox. Three people are already having sex on the street while some dude attempts to breakdance and breaks his leg. In about five minutes, the entire party has already bloomed into complete and total anarchy, but Brewer can see no wrong with it. Instead he uses his cloud form to sneak by as some cowboy stumbles around and slurs "LENNY?!" [Stealth: 10] Between the clear sky and the sheer WTF down the street, Brewer makes it to Mycroft and becomes a dude yet again, bringing out Echoes. The arrow is thrust inside, and Echoes alters. Rather than Green, Echoes' color scheme is now a cool blue and gold, and on it's fingers are the letters "R E A L". Brewer knows that this new form, Echoes ACT 4, has the power to completely alter reality via one word descriptions placed down.
Using sheer adrenaline, Frances is still somewhat conscious, but she's rolling around on the ground, slurring each word. "Ahhh, does anyone have bandages?" she asks, to which one door opening, closing, and opening again later, and both Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie, have what is needed. [Medical: 8+1 (Dual Roll)] They manage to stem the bleeding and set the leg in a cast. It needs to heal naturally, or at least that's assumed, but between not dying from a bleed out and having her left leg heal at all, a miracle isn't important. Brie passes her some crutches.
BSN: Yeah, no NPC turn, had to get this out.
Sorry for the delay, won't happen again. I have this weird thing with my attention span, but eh, turn's here. Hope you enjoyed.

[Medical: 8+2] As the Sixth Doctor steps around his TARDIS, he continues helping out his group. He pulls shrapnel out and wraps bandages, affixes a bandage on his own head, the works. Soon, aside from Frances' leg, the crew of the TARDIS has a clean bill of health. [Time Accuracy: 3] [Space Accuracy: 3] The Doctor plans to chase down the military general, and stops the TARDIS after a brief second. He steps out of the TARDIS, striding pridefully as he usually does, but it's not Seattle. Far as he can tell, it's Earth, though. [Scanning: 5+2 (Sonic Screwdriver)] But to make matters stranger, the Sonic Screwdriver detects on energy trace not on Earth, but familiar to the Doctor. He races back inside the TARDIS, and uses the ship to analyze the data. To his dismay, this is not Earth, but a planet he's already been, that shouldn't exist in the virtual world, nor even the present of the real one.
It's the Tenth Planet. Mondas. Home of the Cybermen. (https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Mondas)
Frances finally stands under her own weight on the crutches, seeming confused as to the Doctor's stunned response and murmurs of "M-Mondas...no, no, no...". She uses her Stand, Epitaph, to find any possible sense of danger.
Within the next ten seconds, a grim fate will befall them, as the blue-suited Mycroft, a blue-jacketed Brewer, and a blue-fatigued Cobra leap into action, attacking them all with power attacks.
Mycroft stares into the empty space the TARDIS left behind, frowning a little as he stares on. In spite of this, he lets out a large, wiry grin as the keyhole in his head reactivates. "What a power this has awakened... Brewer, Cobra, I require your assistance. It's time to destroy that plan-wrecking vehicle, the blue box, once and for all! he declares as Brewer comes down in cloud form, reverting back to his human appearance. Mycroft expels Cobra from the safe-room, the mercenary looking far healthier than before he entered, as he grabs both of their hands with his one remaining one. Pulling himself, Brewer, and Cobra into his safe-room, he's delighted to see that his plan worked. Suddenly, three copy-versions escape from his now-limp physical body, one of each man. They pull the key out of Copy-Mycroft's keyhole, and unlock the TARDIS's safe-room, which happens to be it's genuine inside.
Back on Mondas, the Doctor is trying desperately to get the TARDIS engine running again, when suddenly the console lets out a groan. The TARDIS's system for detecting critical danger, the Cloister Bells, begin ringing, and the Doctor immediately knows something is wrong. Just then, a blue-suited Mycroft, blue-jacketed Brewer, and a Cobra wearing blue military fatigues. They all suddenly lunge out. Copy-Brewer leaps into the sky and, using a Copy-Echoes ACT 4, suddenly writes in the words "Firestorm." [5 v 4 (Players)], [3 v 2 (NPCs)] It doesn't do much, just burning some flesh, but the fires limit movement as they scorch around the TARDIS, with some of the flame even escaping into Mondas proper. Copy-Cobra looks at the currently injured Frances, and lunges with Myrtenaster from behind. [7+2 (Surprise) v 3-2 (Using Epitaph)-1 (Limited Mobility)+1 (Unlimited)] Suddenly, Frances gasps in fear and surprise as a white-hot pain burns through her torso. She looks down to see the blade of Myrtenaster impaled through her chest. She gasps, gurgles, and groans, before Copy-Cobra suddenly rips the sword out through her back, and kicks her body into the flames.
The Copy has killed Frances! Mycroft gets:
https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Madamoiselle_Chantal: +Ally: Madamioselle Chantal.
Within the safe-room, an attractive orange-haired woman in a shawl and silver dress appears in the kitchen, ready to make some food.
Meanwhile, through all the chaos, the Copy-Mycroft suddenly lunges for the TARDIS console [Mobility: 6] while the Doctor is inconvenienced by the flames, and attempts to pull him away. [Strength: 1 v 2] The Doctor just barely fails to pull Copy-Mycroft away from the TARDIS, and the Copy pushes him back before beginning to charge the TARDIS full of molecular energy. The console glows purple, and though Mycroft knows it'll take a bit of time, he keeps charging, in the hopes of removing this from the equation, once and for all.
After seeing Frances' death, Lorillard reloads the M1911, and fires at Cobra from behind! [6 v 2-2 (Surprise Attack)] The Copy-Cobra suddenly gets shot in the back of the head, and the real Cobra is forced back out onto Earth, leaving only two Copies still on Mondas. Meanwhile, the cops do damage control, opening the doors and calling for an everybody out scenario. But the Doctor knows what'll happen if they blow up the TARDIS:
The End of Time.
BSN: Woo! Sorry for the break. Other projects and a birthday. Y'know how it is.
Failbird, as always, go ahead and tell me if you want to waitlist or had any disputes about the ruling of your death.

You didn't manually activate time travel. The TARDIS in the show has always had the habit of going sometime and someplace the Doctor didn't expect, but the TARDIS herself always brought him where he needed to go. Hence, the title of the round.
((Question: Doesn't Secret Service displace Mycroft's physical body into the safe room as well? Also, I'm missing a link to my new minion in the status.))
I'll fix the link to Chantal. Secret Service has always left his body unsupervised and limp, as his consciousness is basically going within his own psychic safe-house.

Unknown, Dreary and Overcast, ?/?/?
As the TARDIS console glows a vibrant purple and the Cloister Bells chime loudly, the Sixth Doctor's eyes widen. This could be it, the End of Time. If Mycroft succeeds, this virtual universe will explode, and destroy everything in it's wake. And if he knows of the consequences, he doesn't care. He yells out for his comrades, shouting "Take them down now! We can't let them destroy the TARDIS and doom us all!" while pulling out his knife, charging towards Copy-Mycroft. [1 v 3] He heads right towards Copy-Mycroft, but misses a stab [2 v 3], and then narrowly dodges a retaliatory kick from the blue-tinted doppleganger. Everyone else hoists up their guns and begin firing...
Only to have their bullets, and themselves, slow, as Copy-Brewer uses Copy-Echoes ACT 4 to draw the words Bullet Time in the sky. "nope nope nope nope don’t do that." he reprimands, before firing at the Bellas, Romana II, and K9, those who were ordered to hit Mycroft to prevent said End of Time. [10 v 8-2 (Slowed Time)] [7 v 5-2] [3 v 3-2] [10 v 6-2] Brie and Nikki Bella both take some buckshot pellets to the stomach as Romana II takes a couple right to the chest. He shoots K9 point blank, damaging a servo (-2 Mobility) before sliding Mycroft to another part of the console to dodge the rounds. Time resumes normally as the shot collapse, and the bullets hit the console, causing a high-pitched whine.
Before they can get up and fire again, Copy-Mycroft actually speaks. His voice sounds odd, layered, like more than one Mycroft is speaking. Probably because, technically, there is more than one in existence at this point. Without turning around, it says "Ten million dollars, Australian, to whoever gets me the Doctor's head." [Bribery Check: 3] but it seems like no one's biting as Lorillard and Romana III fire at Brewer. [3 v 2] [7 v 4] Lorillard's rounds just barely graze Copy-Brewer, but Romana's blast knocks him down. No blood pours out of the copy, but it seems like it's wounded and it's breath is labored.
As the only two still in a ready position, Brie and Nikki Bella fire their guns [9 v 3] [9 v 7] and Brie manages a good shot to the Copy's back. [Charge: 9] But it's too late. As the copy dies, reawakening the real Mycroft on Earth, the TARDIS is too charged up, and will detonate anyway. Soon, the explosion happens, traveling to the Eye of Harmony, detonating the TARDIS's power supply...and starting a chain reaction, leading right to Earth. Everyone in the universe is engulfed in the blast as said Universe explodes, and nothing remains...
"Sir, the, uh...Universe...exploded.
"Beg pardon?"
"Exploded, went kaplooey, it's gone."
"Who did that?"
"Fallacy of Urist, under the Avatar of Mycroft Holmes."
"Well...I guess he wins, then?"
"Sure, why not? He did the kill the other two by blowing up the universe, so..."
Fallacy wakes up in a black void, now himself, instead of his Avatar. The words Fallacy of Urist Wins! shine in front of him before the computerized voice of E.D.U asks him "What is your wish?"
B.E.N (Before Ending Notes): Yep. Universe exploded, game over. Leodanny, Hotfire, if you wish to waitlist or dispute go ahead.
And Fallacy, wish away.

Finale
Finale
Fallacy looks up to the glowing blue butterfly in the sky, and says "I didn't expect it to be that easy. Oh well, Stand BS is a thing. Anyhow, I've got a wonderful idea." He gestures out, and states loudly "I wish the next round would feature the Mycroft Holmes and his minions from this round as antagonists!"
E.D.U lets out a little chime before her voice says "Your wish...has been granted."
And then Fallacy's alone. Back in the abyss...
(depends. Assuming that Greatness doesn't want to do the same game mode twice in a row, then there's a 2 in 3 chance that either 4 of the other players will be friendly to you, or that everyone will be more focused on killing someone specific rather than eachother)
Game Modes are actually randomly determined via d4. I am allowed to change my answer if I don't like it, though.
(Oh Jesus, 10 players in the next round? How fast am I gonna die)
Judging by the waitlist...you'll actually be in Round 3! So, uh, slower than you think, but still much faster than you'd like.

Lore Entry: The Data Ghost
It was hard, sometimes. Knowing where it started and when it ended. Last thing it could remember before awakening again was fire, burning down it's residence like it was the angry god it swore to run away from. Or, did it support this god? It's memory was so disjointed, moments from a life it remembers living flashing out quicker than could be caught, leaving just more questions than answers.
From what it could recall, it was a Data Ghost. A human soul resurrected in code, an undead in a cyberspace it could merely interact with. The real world behind a screen except for fleeting moments where worlds collided somewhere off in the infinite expanse of the multiverse. When all was said and done, though, it used to be human. This journal, the book basically bound to it by sentimentality, was sure to have answers. And it did, but it only raised more. It knew it was human, but there were so many names that it didn't know which was it's. It knew it was male, but that barely narrowed down the possibilities. Due to the language the book was written in, The Data Ghost's life was European in birth, but where was unclear. And to make matters all the worse, any attempt to get somewhere just made it remember the fire.
So, when it materialized in the game, and was tasked with giving Avatars their equipment, it was glad to have a purpose, and have it's mind at ease. It worked diligently and detailed, right down to slipping the right scarf around the neck of the Fourth Doctor. And it worked. The existentialism was pushed back, and the Data Ghost felt calm, knowing it didn't have to think about it's past as a human. And in particular, one burning question that emerged every time it saw the person pulling the strings here:
Why did the name Jess Warner sound so...familiar?
You can probably guess who the Data Ghost is.
But yes, Lore Entries are coming back! Since I'm planning a less constrictive plot, I can afford to stretch my writing muscles and flesh out concepts better than in Cataclysm. Hence, this!
The Turn 0 of Chapter II will come out overnight, ready for you guys to play by tomorrow morning!

Deathmatch
Part 0: Restoring the World
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Nighttime, Overcast, 11/13/2020
Per the wish of the previous winner, the Avatar known as Mycroft Holmes, along with his allies in Rudy Brewer, Cobra, and the Rwandan military in of itself, was all resurrected first before the rest of the virtual populace. But even becoming an NPC did not stop his plans, as he set out to find land to call his own, eventually finding himself in the city of Almelo in the land of Twente in the Eastern Netherlands.
Using his wealth, firepower, and superpowers, Mycroft took Almelo. Then Twente. Then the East Netherlands, then the rest of the Netherlands. And it kept expanding, a combination of coups both bloodless and full of red splattered on the walls, carving an empire throughout Europe, taking the entirety of the neighboring lands of Germany and Belgium, and beginning to set up shop in the UK, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and other nearby lands. It was clear that between the resurrection, the money, the Stand, and the sheer power, the Mad King Mycroft was born where Mycroft Holmes, brother of Sherlock, died.
It is in this capital of Mycroft's kingdom, the Holmsian Empire's Principality of Almelo, that the second contest of Wiki-Warfare in this virtual world begins, ten strangers again waking up close by eachother in the backstreets, instructed to kill eachother once more...
BSN: Well, Fallacy, here's how I interpreted your wish. Hope you don't mind. :D
Yep. Another deathmatch. d4 rolled a 1 and I didn't feel inclined to veto. Chapter 3 will not be a normal Deathmatch to compensate, though, I will tell you all now.
Also, I am adding in Additional. The Additional category is what the Daleks were last round: character driven stuff that is unique to you, but doesn't count as an ability, asset, or ally.

Find a way back to the Phoenix and Coppella.
Also, when in a safer spot, use Revisionist on Henry’s flintlock, turn it into a modern firearm, just to see what happens.
If successful, use it on my flintlock.
Edit: both also include changing the bullets, 'cause I don't know how pedantic you want me to be yet :p

If Inheritance = First Choice First Served Sheets, then I happily claim TamerVirus' sheet.
Otherwise, I would rather New Sheet.

In clarification...

Well, I was thinking in order. If Joe wanted to inherit, he'd get Person's, then NRDL gets Imic's, then you get TamerVirus'.
So, yes? I guess?

The Wiki-Warriors start up strong as politician Bobby Jefferson stands up tall, surrounded by people he doesn't know. Immediately knowing his objective, he looks to his ally, the Serbian Niko Bellic and indicates "Hop in Niko, and shoot any of them getting close." Niko replies "Got it," in his thick accent, covering Bobby as he gets into his yellow car before hopping in the passenger's side. They peel out of the back alley, firing on a Warrior close to comfort on the entrance [7 v 9], missing Mister Honda Honzo narrowly as they drive towards the capital building. Both men can see the totalitarian nature of the place everywhere, with bars on the window and "Obey" propoganda posters of Mycroft everywhere.
Meanwhile, Gary Richardson immediately realizes that something is quite wrong with the strength levels, and so flees quickly, [Distance: 8; Stealth: 10] breaking into a house far along the alley, undetected by all Warriors as well as the occupants of the house, whoever they may be. Heading upstairs quietly, he ducks into the Bathroom and begins carving shapes into the walls. [Carving: 5+2] He carves Deer, into the walls, and from them emerges four deer, appearing normal save for a blue coat. They bay as they stand up tall.
The two English navy-men don't actually know where to start with this madness. The main captain, a man named Edgar Masters, furrows his brow before turning to Henry and ordering "Right! Back to the ships!" He looks for a way out of the alley [10] and immediately sees that the other exit to them leads to a shoreline. Edgar and Henry run through that exit, Edgar grabbing Henry's flintlock, and using The Revisionist Virus to transform it into a Browning Hi-Power Pistol, before using it on his own gun to transform it into a British Webley IV.
Zakk watches them run off, completely baffled as he asks them as they run off "Why exactly are there 3 boats brought into battle? Aren't we in a land-based area?", being proven wrong by the shoreline. Judging from looks like ruins on the beaches, though, it's not natural at all. Whatever Mycroft did, it tore the Netherlands apart. Zakk realizes the implication of this, and quickly grows himself a snail shell, before pulling out his chisel, trying to gain a weapon of some kind. [Sculpting: 8+2] Using rocks in the alley, he creates a sword with an actually sharp edge, suiting him nicely.
Honda Honzo, feeling rather miffed at the Serbian who just took potshots at him, turns to Zakk Wylde as the closest source of stress relief. Shouting "MOT!", he uses his Demon of the same name to suddenly fire a spell at Zakk. [3 v 5+2 (Snail Shell)] Zakk bounces the spell off his snail shell, not decaying it due to the glancing blow, and as a reaction, charges with his chisel over his head! [5 v 8] Honda backs off, before quickly swapping his Demon and shouting "GO MANDAGHAI!. [9 v 3+2] A fireball launches out, and slams into Zakk's shell. He himself is unharmed, but the shell shatters instantly from the blow and he is knocked onto the ground. Honda runs off, searching for a church with which to praise YHVH [Perception: 7], finding one immediately. Heading inside, he sees a congregation dedicated to "The Holmsian God-Emperor Mycroft."
Sarah Caine gives off a sigh, shaking her head before running off, searching for a park. [4] There is one, but it is closed off by a chainlink fence with barbed wire over the top. Sighing, she instead hides in a bush on the outside of the wall [Stealth: 7], Rothchild sitting on a bench nearby to cover her.
Super-Sloth, the powerful sin that it is, has a less-than Slothful thought: run for it, then act intelligently. Along with his rapper friend Ercandize, Super-Sloth charges out of the alley [Distance: 3] but does not get very far before he hears a scream. Immediately, he can hear sirens coming from behind, an immediate network of police called when that which isn't of a Holmsian nature is spotted.
The Android JB is bathed and light, and is replaced with an Avatar for PirateJoe, while NRDL and KitRougard posses Kim Tae-woo and Ramon Ruiz, respectively.
BSN: Yeah, all three of you are entering now. Sorry, not sorry, but welcome to the game, Joe, NRDL, and Kit!

Use my powers and sign language (Since I'm mute, duh) to awe the churchgoers into following me as their prophet.
I was gonna say "Oh, well, you can, you're just not a conversationalist", but that's actually up to the player how they choose to interpret.
I'll still be putting your orders to your demons in colored, spoken word text, but you don't wanna talk in conversation, that's perfectly fine. :D

get my crews onto our ships, maneuver the HMS Phoenix into a position to turn one broadside toward the other combatants, and the other side facing the USS Elridge, while the USS Capella will approach the Elridge to get within range with their own armaments.
Load the cannons facing the land with grapeshot, and ready them for firing on anyone approaching the shore. Load the other side with regular shot, except one, upon which I will use Revisionist to turn it into an awesome modern cannon. If this doesn’t work, use it to turn the cannonball into something that can take out a destroyer-class ship, and fire it toward it.

A pretty standard amount for a ship-crew: 120-125 each? So, let's just that you have, in total, 250 crewmen divided up into 125 on one ship and 125 on the other.

Deathmatch
Part II: Charming and Preaching
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Nighttime, Overcast, 11/13/2020
Waking up for the first time since the Wiki-War in the virtual world commenced, the player of Ramon Ruiz looked about his abilities and namesake. Ramon looked around, the carnage not having yet started if only because everyone else had either run off or was preparing their plans to slaughter the competition, and decided to follow suit on the plan to prepare elsewhere. [Distance: 1+2] He runs out of the alleyway in a burst of energy, but doesn't get far at all before he sees his green and mutilated-on-arrival enemy Super-Sloth in the middle of the street, as police cars roll up. With this in mind, he can only make it to a point on the sidewalk, where he can see a Hardware Store, across the street and a couple buildings down.
Inside the Church of the Holmsian God-Emperor Mycroft, Honda glares silently at the congregation. At his sudden entrance, the Holmsian Priest stops speaking, watching him with a single finger on the panic button, waiting for him to pull a move. Honda walks through to the pulpit, walking up a small step to stand over the group. Because he's not much of a conversationalist, he instead uses sign language to speak as he makes his case. [Convincing: 10+2 (Supernatural Ability: Demons/Personas)] Summoning all four of his interchangeably termed servants, he weaves a tale of order and control under the god YHVH. How under his control, the world will be a better place, and how his power dominates all opponents for the perfect society. The congregation begins speaking in both British English and Dutch, talking about how "This "Yahweh" thing sounds like Mycroft, but more powerful," and how "order is the only way." The priest pulls out a gold-plated pistol from his Bible and gives it to Honda before pulling one of his own out. "FOLLOW THIS PROPHET!" he orders. "DO AS HE ASKS!"
(Received: Gold-Plated Glock 17)
Finally waking up, Kim Tae-woo immediately spots a man of the Jewish cloth standing before him, looking rather troubled and befuddled. He stands up, his bandmates standing behind him, and he grabs his sword from the ground. He scowls, before charging at Emanuel. [5 v 6] Just before he can, though, an Ice Fairy floats in front of him, her arms crossed in arrogance. She freezes his sword, which adds weight. The frosted blade hits the ground, shattering the frost and leaving the blade undamaged, but Emanuel and Cirno are already escaping. With a snarl, he summons the ghosts of his family, rising from the ground like Zombies before giving chase. [2 v 7] But it's too late, the group dodges the ghosts' swipes and run out of the alleyway.
Driving up to the capital building, Bobby and Niko come across a toll gate with Rwandan soldiers patrolling. One of said soldiers knocks on the window, forcing Bobby to roll it down. "State your business," he very coldly states, holding an assault rifle in his hand. [Seduction: 10+2] A simple smirk seems to relax the guy as Bobby flirts "Handsome, I'm just trying to talk to the big guy in charge with my friend Niko here. It's nothing bad." The soldier believes him and waves the yellow sports car through, Niko shaking his head and saying "Can't believe that worked." Once parked, the two head inside the capital building to a female receptionist with brown hair, perfect makeup, and the name "Harley" on an expensive looking nametag who asks "Do you have an appointment?" [Seduction: 10+2] He smiles widely, and Niko stares surprised as he flirts "Just trying to talk to the big man on campus. This, uh, Mycroft fella. A woman as beautiful as you must be able to pull a couple strings for a political man like me, right?" She giggles and clicks on the intercom, asking "Emperor, you have an appointment for right this minute. An American politician." Bobby and Niko get the directions, and ride the elevator up to the throne room. They are stopped outside by a guard, who says "If you would kindly lay any firearms in the tray, we will allow access."
Completely breaking stealth, Gary Richardson springs up and laughs loudly before shouting "Go forth deer and kill my enemies!" The deer comply, shattering the bathroom door [5 v 10] and missing the patriarch of the house by a wide margin. He looks pissed and so runs up to Gary with intent to beat up. [7 v 6] The father manages to punch Gary in the cheek, bruising it, but attracting a single deer back into the bathroom to fight back. [7 v 8] The father grabs the deer's antlers, narrowly avoiding getting gored, as his wife and son come up and scream at the commotion. Gary rolls his eyes and carves a gun into the wall [Carving: 8+2] creating a perfect copy of an MP-443 Grach. It is made of metal, but has the bright blue color of the bathroom wall as a finish to the metal, giving it a unique appearance. Pulling back the slide a small bit, the brass check reveals real bullets inside.
Zakk Wylde sees that one of the bandmates of Kim Tae-woo, Park Joon-hyung, appears quite distracted, staring down the alleyway. [Stealth: 7] Sneaking up behind Park, he holds his stone sword up before thrusting it at the man. [8+2 (Undetected) v 4] Park gasps in pain as the sword is pushed through his chest, nicking a blood vessel as it begins to squirt out. Not immediately dangerous, but as Park falls to his knees, he is bleeding out far quicker than someone normally would.
[Perception: 3] Popping out of the bushes for a second, Sarah Caine looks around for edible leaves. Luckily, she doesn't have to search long, as the bush she's hiding in has edible leaves. Popping some out, she stows them in a pocket to snack on in case of injury.
Running away from the South Korean idol and his army of wandering revenants, the Jewish Priest Emanuel tries to come up with a plan as his ice fairy friend Cirno insults the ghosts but saying that they "Are no match for the strongest fairy in Gensokyo!" with a shaking fist. Her bravado doesn't distract Emanuel from seeing the dystopia surrounding him. People live behind barred windows in fear of the outside, posters ordering the people to just obey their emperor. The fact that God has allowed this place to exist is depressing, but perhaps Emanuel is the person for the job. [Perception: 3] A set of spotlights to the North are the only clue he has as to the location of this "Emperor Mycroft Holmes", and so he orders Cirno to begin following him, and though she initially denies for someone of the Outside World, she eventually sighs and sticks close by.
Ignoring the obvious signs that this beach is not natural and perhaps shouldn't even exist, Edgar and Henry make it to a dock, and divide their crew, 250 men strong, amongst the two ships. The HMS Phoenix raises anchor and moves, ending up between the Elridge and the shore line, cannons pointing at both. Meanwhile, the USS Capella moves to the other side of the Elridge to prevent an escape, Henry maneuvering it to avoid an escape. With that done, Edgar loads the Phoenix's shoreline cannons with grapeshot, and loads the ones trained on the Elridge with ball shot. All except for one. He uses the virus to transform it into a modern cannon, changing all it's ball shot to HE grenades. [7 v 8] Using just the revised cannon first, he fires a grenade at the Elridge. It scratches the paint, but the resulting explosion was too deep in the water for a substantial bit of destruction.
Super-Sloth doesn't run, even though two other Wiki-Warriors are right there on the street. When the cops arrive, he immediately begins smooth talking them. [Convincing: 8] "Evening, officers," he begins, as the cops train pistols on him. "Explain," they order, which Super-Sloth agrees to. "See, I just look like this because I'm part of a viral marketing campaign," he bullshits, "part of a horror movie based on a true story, kind of deal? I'm the Dutch Slave Beast, y'know, the Dutch Slave Beast." While the cops know there is no such thing as a Dutch Slave Beast, his voice sounds human enough to betray the grotesque appearance. "Fine," one eventually agrees, "but go back home and do this sort of thing in the morning. There's a curfew instituted by Emperor Mycroft, and you're scaring the civilians in the moonlight."
Three of the four Carved Deer run out of the house, and charge at Zakk Wylde, Kim Tae-Woo, and fellow bandmate Danny Ahn. [8 v 4] [6 v 4] [3 v 9] Danny dodges the deer coming at him before running over and tending to his bleeding friend. Kim is grazed in the side and falls over, watching as his enemy Zakk Wylde is gored in the stomach and thrown to the ground, blood hitting the ground as he wheezes out a breath.
BSN: Heh. A worshiper of the Judeo-Christian God and a worshiper of YHVH in the same general geographical location. Fun.
But yeah, here we go.

Also, find all the muskets on the ship and turn them into better weaponry for my crew. Board the Elridge, murder the crew, and add it to my fleet.
Once done, bring the Capella and its crew over and make some radios with Revisionist, to make for easier communication between all the vessels. Split the crew between all three vessels, with a skeleton crew on the Capella, because warships require more attention, methinks.

Deathmatch
Part III: Almelo's Most Wanted
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Nighttime, Overcast, 11/13/2020
Upon hearing the guardsman's orders, Niko quickly gets agitated, which Bobby can see plainly. Before the Serbian can raise a fuss and do as a GTA protagonist does, the politician raises his hand and tells Niko "Don't worry Niko, just stay in the car" Niko opens his mouth as if to protest, but the Rwandan guardsmen, adorned in purple Riot Gear, watch every twitch of his muscle. He sighs, and walks back into the elevator, allowing Bobby to adjust his tie as the ride heads back down. The guards open the door so that Bobby can negotiate, only for him to immediately see an issue: they don't call him the Mad Emperor Mycroft for no reason. His left arm is cybernetic, stainless steel contrasting against his golden throne, above which hangs the Stand Arrow like a Sword of Damocles. In his organic right hand is the Colt Single Action Army, placed on his lap, with a camera hanging around his neck on a strap. His clothes are regal, but torn; brightly colored robes in a shade of purple contrasting with gashes, rips, and tears. And there is a single look in his eye that proves his Red Baron to be legitimate, like he's abstaining from slaughtering at a moment's notice. It's almost hard to believe that this man used to be someone like Bobby Jefferson. To his right stands his husband, or perhaps consort, Brewer. Other than two shotguns and what is obviously a suicide vest under his own lavender robes, there is nothing of note. And to his left stands another Rwandan, this time with his face bared to show an eyepatch. He has a dagger in his vest, a pistol on his hip, and what looks like a rapier in his sheath.
Bobby gulps and begins his appeal. [1+2 (Politics)] "King Mycroft," he begins with a bow, "terrible news. There are Wiki-Warriors in this area. A danger to all. To order, to the empire to-" "Stop." Bobby looks up to see Mycroft standing up his throne, holding up his robotic hand in protest. "I know a Wiki-Warrior when I see one," he points out, "please dear fellow, tell me why I should not kill you?" [Convince: 10+2 (Charm)] Bobby stands up straight and holds his hands up in surrender. "Because I'm a Wiki-Warrior that can help!" he pleads, leading Mycroft to raise an eyebrow, "s-see I have superhuman strength, a one man army on my side, the ability to bring anyone to my side! I could be your biggest asset, your closest confidant, all you need to do is trust me and send a warning bulletin for the other nine of me. Please?" To his joy, Mycroft nods and lowers a hand down, a cursory look around the room revealing that the rest of the guard is staring at her, clicking the safeties of their rifles back on. Mycroft reaches a hand up and takes the Stand Arrow, explaining "If you are to truly aid me, you need a mark, a power only those in the highest order have access to." And he suddenly stabs Bobby in the neck. Rather than dying a bloody and violent death, however, Bobby is suddenly engulfed in a purple light. The arrow falls out, the cut healing, and as Mycroft orders that all supernatural beings in the area be detained or executed depending on the hostility, Bobby feels a new power. He is filled with the inspiration around him: that reality is the greatest inspiration for art. Manifesting from an air-drawing, the ability to read humans like a literal book, remove their memories, and write commands in their pages of life breeds into his Stand: Heaven's Door. (https://jojo.fandom.com/wiki/Heaven's_Door)
Despite being gored through the stomach, Zakk Wylde's blood is nowhere near flowing enough to be a threat. Satisfied with his security in the face of danger, he ignores the deer and charges right towards the wounded band members of G.o.d with the stone sword in hand. [7 v 2-2 (Injuries)] [8 v 4] As Park Joon-hyung gurgles and bleeds out, Zakk charges forward, blindsiding the band. Park looks up just in time to see Zakk's manic face before he is executed, decapitated with the blade and thus allowing his head to fly off his neck. Kim screams out "NO!" in English, drawing Zakk's attention to him. Zakk suddenly plunges the sword into Kim's grazed side, speeding up the process of bleeding out as he gasps in pain.
Gary Richardson seems to snap, pulling his gun up and pointing it right at the scared family with a pissed off glare. "Everybody back up! I have a gun, I'm leaving, and if anyone tries to stop me, they're gonna get shot!" he yells out [Intimidation: 1] but only leading the father to smack the deer out of the way, charging towards Gary who fires on instinct. [1 v 5] He misses big time, firing the bullet into the ceiling. [Flee: 9] He manages to slip away from the angry father, him and the deer pushing the family away as they run. Once outside, he looks for a way to a rooftop [Perception: 6], and manages to find a ladder up. It is a tiny, tiny place without much more high-ground than a window back in the bathroom, but it makes do. Whistling, the three other deer join their companion, and Gary instructs them to charge towards the first Wiki-Warrior they see. A Wiki-Warrior who seems to be buying auto parts...
Within the church, Honda makes a hand signal to head outside, which the newly created Cult of Order does so with what can only be (obviously) described as a religious fervor. Once outside, they immediately spot a stated enemy of YHVH; a Wiki-Warrior worshiping a false version of YHVH if the distinctive clothing of a priest is any indication, carrying a pickaxe and having a fairy float around. [7 v 6] Popping the first shot off, Honda literally fires a round from his golden gun, seeming to just graze the priest's shoulder, still spilling a bit of blood. The congregation splits off into two separate mobs, one for the fairy and one for the priest. [2 v 2] [3 v 6] However, Cirno suddenly unleashes a blast of ice that, while not freezing the priest or either congregation, stops them. Her and Emanuel begin to run right towards the capital, only to suddenly hear "ROT 'EM, MOT!" from behind. [6 v 7] A blast of green magic just barely swings by Emanuel's clothes, rotting the silk and leaving his left arm bare, but unharmed.
Sarah Caine leaps from the bushes, suddenly screaming out "WIKI-WARRIORS!" and hoping to gain attention. [7] With curfew in effect, the only people there are park-technicians, who suddenly seem to jump out of their skin upon hearing the crazy woman leap from the bushes. "Terrifying beings of mass destruction! They'll destroy you just by lookin'!" [Convincing: 1] Instead, someone presses an Emergency Button, the cops rolling up in seconds and yelling to Sarah with pistols drawn "Put down the shotgun or you will be shot!"
[2 v 3] As Zakk Wylde gives a heavy metal yell in victory, throwing up the horns, Danny Ahn suddenly charges in. Zakk sees him and manages to get out of the way just in time for him to trip over [4 v 5] [10 v 3] Yoon Key-sang also tries to grab him, and Zakk moves again, only for Son Ho-young to suddenly perform a double leg takedown, throwing Zakk to the ground and busting the back of his head open. [7 v 2-1 (Prone and Surprised)] The Ghost Ancestors suddenly arrive, and begin stomping on Zakk, breaking his nose and his ribs before Kim Tae-woo suddenly tries to stab down at Zakk [5 v 4-2 (Pain)], stabbing into his stomach. Blood begins to pull under Zakk as the pain wells up. The Ghosts dissipate and the band members release their hold on him, but Zakk's still kicking.
As Roman Ruiz enters the hardware store, the shopkeep greets him with "Hallo! Welcome to the only hardware store in Almelo to be open all night! How can I help you?" to which Ramon waves off. "I've got a list," he replies, before heading into the store. It's a hardware store, so he finds everything he needs with no trouble. When the bill comes up, he gives some extra money to the cop, and is about to head out on his way, only for four blue-colored deer to suddenly burst inside, and charge straight towards Ramon. [5 v 9] [4 v 10] Two of them charge right towards Ramon, but fail to properly hit him. The other two leap over the counter, but Ramon ducks under them. Grabbing his stuff, he heads behind the cover of the counter.
Edgar suddenly releases the virus over his ship, only to get suddenly blocked. It's only one thing at a time, mate. Annoyed, Edgar goes around the ship instead, transforming the majority of the cannons into missile launchers, with some instead becoming 50. machine guns. He tries to find the muskets, but by then, doing it one at a time's taken up too much time: the Elridge fires back! [2 v 1] Striking the bottom of the ship goes an explosive payload, not killing or harming the crew, but it is causing water to begin sinking in. The crew fires missiles and cannons. [2 v 6] [2 v 2] They do so, but Edgar, Henry, and the British Commonwealth all seem to have butterfingers, as they miss their rounds. The fight is on.
Super-Sloth nods in acknowledgement and walks off, before suddenly ducking down into an alleyway [Stealth: 9] which, luckily, no one sees. Hooray for gunfire being distracting! As he goes through the area, he eventually comes across a cafe with a wi-fi hotspot. Using his ability to directly tap into an Internet connect (usually used to destroy people's E-commerce), he attempts to start a rumor. [2+2 (Journalism)] On Facebook and Twitter, Super-Sloth begins using his journalism on some events to create a panic on various crimes. It has a modest success, with a family in the area he was just in describing a man with a gun and some control over deer assaulting him and his family, as well as a Church marching out of their congregation. But nothing immediately happens. It'll take some time for this story to break even.
Emanuel and Cirno waste no time with prose: they run away from the Church mob and fast, trying to get to the capital as fast as possible. [Distance: 5] They get about as far as a common area in the middle of the city, where there are parked cars on every street, ripe for the taking. And with curfew in effect, the owners can't actually stop the rampage.
Suddenly, alarms blare through the entire Holmsian Empire, with a female voice saying "CAUTION: LEVEL THREE EMERGENCY THROUGH THE KINGDOM! WE ASK THAT YOU REMAIN VIGILANT AND STAY IN YOUR HOMES AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!" The cops run towards the Church congregation with guns drawn, screaming at Honda Honzo, "Father Brigmore," and the Congregation to surrender or be put down on the spot. Meanwhile, cops burst in on Zakk Wylde and G.o.d's affair, screaming at them to surrender or die, as well. Finally, a helicopter flies over the Phoenix, specifically calling out "This is the APD of the Holmsian Empire! Stand there and surrender or we will shoot you down!"
BSN: Let it never be said that the Dutch have a passive police force, especially when under occupation. Moral of that story.
But yeah, we back!

Raise my hands very slowly out to shoulder level, palms out, holding my weapon, which I’m using Revisionist to alter into a flare gun. Gesture toward the ship’s flag with the other hand while looking as though I’m going down to my knees and then quickly fire a flare at the helicopter, hopefully blinding them while I make a dash below deck.
Encourage the crew to continue firing on the Elridge’s weapons as we get toward them, and find some muskets to turn into anti-air launchers, and hand some to the crew not manning cannons with orders to shoot that bloody helicopter down.
Change my flare gun back into an proper firearm, resume boarding attempts on the Elridge, and order the crewto fix the damn hole in the ship.

Part IV: Wanted
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Nighttime, Overcast, 11/13/2020
Ignoring the warnings from the officer, Kim stares down at Zakk Wylde with hatred and contempt after what he did to kill Park. [Grapple: 3 v 1-2] With ease, Danny, Yoon, and Son put their feet on Zakk to hold him down, leaving him utterly powerless even as the police scream at them to stop or face the consequences. With his free hand, however, Zakk attempts to stab himself with his stone sword, screaming "I'LL EVENTUALLY INDIVIDUALLY HARVEST ALL OF YOUR TEETH AND REPLACE THEM WITH RAISINS IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!!!" before driving the sword down [2-2] and missing him completely, stabbing it into the ground and allowing Danny Ahn to take it for himself. Kim shrugs, before raking the sword across Zakk's throat, blood spurting out as the rockstar quickly and painfully succumbs to his wounds.
KPop defeated Rock n' Roll! Kim gets:
https://www.khwiki.com/Clarity: +Clarity
From glitchy looking purple code emerges the large axe known as Clarity, which Son takes as his own.
Getting back out of the fortress that is the capital after receiving his Stand, Bobby Jefferson and Niko hop back into their sports car, and drive off back towards where they started in that dark alleyway. However, before actually getting there, Niko stops him and points to a priest walking down the street with what appears to be a blue fairy. "He's about to box himself in," Niko responds. "Just let him do it. Makes my job a lot easier."
With a mocking and wry smile, Edgar looks up to the chopper with disdain, but seemingly complies. He holds out his hand, transforming his Webley into a flare gun which they don't seem to notice. He gestures to the ship's flag and nods, while also beginning to bend down. Before actually getting on his knees, Edgar suddenly fires a flare at the chopper [9+2 (Bright Light in Dark Night) v 6], which successfully blinds them as the helicopter hovers left and right, trying to get it's bearings back. He swings his sword, sending out another cannon fire at the Elridge's weapons. [2 v 8] [2 v 6] But both the cannons and the 50. cals all miss. "WHY ARE YOU ALL INEPT?!" he screams out, before rolling his eyes and heading down. He turns Muskets into anti-air Javelin launchers, passing them out at a time to free crewmen. [7 v 8-2 (Blinded)] [6 v 5-2] They fire two volleys, slamming into the chopper. It doesn't do serious damage on it's own [Control: 10] and in fact, it seems to recenter their focus as they suddenly retaliate! [1 v 1] Unfortunately for them, they retaliate too soon and fire their miniguns into the ocean. Meanwhile, while all this is happening, the Capella fires it's own cannons. [3 v 5] Only to then miss. Transforming the flare gun back into a Webley, Edgar screams at them to fix the hole before telling them to resume boarding attempts [Plan: 2], but it seems the crew is watching the helicopter first on the priority.
Honda Honzo's first response to the cops trying to arrest him is to mutter a quick prayer to YHVH, begging the God of Order for an answer. Luckily, he feels a warmth in his chest. This Pavlovian signal to act on the whims of those wishing to spread chaos. [1 v 5] And with that, he points to the cops, the mob charging forward only for the trained policemen to begin battering them with batons and pistol whipping. Father Brigmore fires his gun, as does Honda himself [5 v 8] [7 v 2] Brigmore misses, the bullet hitting the hood of a police car. Honda's, however, hits dead on, shooting an officer in the chest, leaving him to drop his sidearm, the Walther P99. A woman picks it up and fires [8 v 9], almost striking a cop as he dives down to prevent a very swift headshot. As a cap off, Honda uses a Persona, shouting "HEQET!" [4 v 5] A burst of lightning comes down, missing the cops, but leaving a terrifying spark.
Once up on the roof, Gary Richardson begins carving out a masterpiece amount of equipment and soldiers to do his bidding. [9+2] He carves out a helmet (+2 Defense on the head until damaged], a bulletproof vest (+2 Defense on the chest and back until damaged), and an LMG known as the Rheinmetall MG 3, which he shoulders to keep working. All three of them are made from their respective metals, plastics, kevlar, what have you, but with a stony-grey color and texture. [9+2] He then perfectly creates life, creating three LMG wielding human beings with stone-grey skin. To differentiate, they all wield the same gun, the American made M60, but have different animal heads. "Ursa" has the head of a bear, "Canis" has the head of a dog, and "Avem" has the head of a bird. [8+2] Rounding off the group is another human, this time wielding the RPG-7. This man, "Felis", has the head of a cat, but the same grey skin as the rest.
Huffing and panting at the sudden action, Ramon rolls his eyes and mutters "Goddamn-" before rising up. The deer are waiting for him as they let out a low croon. Ramon pulls out his favorite combo-weapon, the simple Reaper scythe-katana, and gives the "Come on!" gesture to them. [1 v 8] [10 v 2] [4 v 4] [9 v 5] He gets right to work, slashing into one deer and wounding it, spilling boring old crimson blood onto the store as it lets out this depressing sounding wail and collapses onto it's side. He moves the Reaper towards another, which backs off, before swiping at a third and missing it badly enough to stumble, allowing it to attack. [3 v 1] It charges forward, and manages to spear into his right arm, holding the Reaper. Luckily, it's not enough damage to drop the thing, and so he pushes the deer out of his body, and slams the scythe's blade into the fourth deer's skull, killing it instantly. But that's not all. He flings it overhead, knocking out a light which falls [9 v 5] onto the deer that drew his blood, slamming into it. He hears ribs cracking as it also begins wailing. The deer he stabbed collapses behind him, and he begins dragging the carcass around on the blade.
Sarah Caine holds her hands up high, speedily saying [Convincing: 8] "WAIT, DON'T SHOOT! I CAN HELP YOU KILL WIKI-WARRIORS!" The lead cop with the megaphone looks to his comrades, and nods, the rest of them putting down their aim. "Okay, okay. All I need is to join you. I heard the alert, 'kay? I know what needs to be done." The lead cop agrees, walks over, and then cuffs her anyway, Reginald also being quickly cuffed as soon as he stands up. "We're still taking you to the station for disturbing the peace," he bluntly says, "we'll unlock them while we park. Now get in the car!"
On top of the cafe, Super-Sloth snickers like a troll pulling his best masterpiece. [Journalism: 8+2] He creates more and more events, and it suddenly blows up. The alert spooks everyone in the Empire not under curfew (like government and municipal workers), and it seems to be leading to a small panic. People outside the Empire (such as America, the parts of the UK not under Holmsian control or influence, like all of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Australia, Canada, etc) are beginning to either post very serious pleas to cut the Empire down, or get the trademark #SherlockIsCooler trending. All in all, this seems to have inspired a frenzy. It may not immediately cause the army to show up, but it's definitely lead an impact.
Sighing under his breath, Emanuel looks back at the direction he came from with saddened eyes. This place is a dystopia, plain and simple. Cold, totalitarian, oppressive. And to make matters worse, he has been branded a heretic by the local church. He looks at Cirno, clearly still looking for a fight, and holds his hand up to stop her. "My friend, would you be so kind as to make a wall of ice real quick before we continue on our way if you could do so quickly? I believe it would be helpful in ensuring no further incidents happen on our trip." Cirno gives a thumbs up and gets to work [Ice Wall: 7] She actually manages to get a decent one going, blocking all but a single sidewalk. "Alright, boss man!" she replies, "it's do-wha?" She looks behind Emanuel, who follows her line of sight to see a yellow sports car parked right behind them, the engine still running.
The one still fight-ready deer charges at Ramon, seeming to roar as it goes forward antlers-first. [2 v 9] Ramon then prompts walks to the left, leaving the deer to harmlessly, though still unwillingly, smack it's antlers into a shelf, knocking over some power drills.
The police in two areas attack. Firstly, in the street, [5 v 5] one of them fires a shotgun into the crowd, missing when the racking of the pump sends them scattering. Meanwhile, the cops open fire on G.o.d, [9 v 2] striking Yoon twice in the chest with 9mm rounds and sending him falling to the ground. Not dead, but very much wounded.
BSN: Eventful, huh? :D
Not much to say. 0cra, you wanna waitlist or dispute, go right ahead.

Carve up some spare ammo for all the weapons held by the members of my group, some grenades for the group, and a assault rifle and ammo for Felis, then once that's finished we'll all move back to the street if there aren't and wiki-warriors close by.

Either way, once that last one's dealt with, it's time to get CRAFTY!
Duct tape my Leaf Rake and a Car Battery together to create the Electric Rake! (https://deadrising.fandom.com/wiki/Electric_Rake_(Dead_Rising_2))
Drench the MMA Gloves in Motor Oil and light them ablaze to create the Flaming Gloves! (https://deadrising.fandom.com/wiki/Flaming_Gloves_(Dead_Rising_2))
And thus equipped, look to the shopkeeper and say, simply, "Listen, pal, I'm probably the only one of the Wiki-Warriors who doesn't plan on burning this fine country to the ground. If you care to join me, I've got these Flaming Gloves for you, or I could probably whip up a new weapon out of some oddball stuff around here. What do you say?"

“ALMOST, ALMOST! MAINTAIN FIRE ON THE CHOPPER, MEN! THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY DECIDED TO ATTACK EDGAR MASTERS AND HIS CREW!”
While they do that, use Revisionist to alter the furthest... whatever it is now, cannon or otherwise, into an AA gun, and man it myself. Take a moment to center the helicopter in my sights and fire!
If the helicopter is down, tell the crew to maintain fire on the Eldridge’s weapons, and continue our approach.
... then deal with the hole in the ship. Find some detritus to change into various bits of metal and welding equipment (with safety goggles!) as well as a nice pump and a long enough hose to pump the seawater out the ship.

E-Commerce Hysteria time! Let's see if I can use it on government workers to cause an international incident.
Master plan:
1: Use my journalism and E-Commerce Hysteria to make the Empire crumble.
2: Use my strategy to become a warlord and rule over the ashes.
3: Hunt down the Wiki-Warriors.
4: ???
5: Profit!
It's kind of relaxing now that I have a plan.

Deathmatch
Part V: Properly Equipped
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
The 12th Hour chimes, changing the date to the 14th of November. The clouds do not change, the weather does not falter.
With all the chaos emerging throughout the area, people outcrying in their homes as gunshots ring out and the trumpets of war sound, Gary Richardson watches from the rooftop with the gaze of a true artist: focused. Nodding to himself, he turns back to his Carved Militia, and says "Okay men, stay with me. We'll be moving out shortly," before taking his tools back to the rooftop. [Carving: 8+2] He produces spare boxes of rounds for Ursa, Canis, and Avem, and an extra couple rockets for Felis. In addition, he also produces a grenade for each of them. [Carving: 4+2] Carving an AK-47 in the rooftop, he for once fails to get across his artistic vision by instead producing the Chinese variant of the rifle, the Norinco Type 56. Still, he passes it to Felis anyway. Finally, the four of them autonomously move to the street, towards the huge gathering of cops, civilians, and most importantly, a Wiki-Warrior. Gary Richardson follows them.
Even through the sheer increase in activity as the cops fight back, Honda's only response is to scowl. These Chaos Heretics continue to burn his own group, so he shall burn them back. "MANGADHAI!" he screams out as the Demon emerges, casting a wide spread of fire. [6 v 8] The cops all take cover from the stream of fire, orange light burning the dark street as they cower. With them distracted, Honda and Father Brigmore both fire. [3 v 4] [6 v 6] Both of them, however, narrowly miss any targets. [10 v 10] [7 v 4] Suddenly, the street corner explodes as an RPG round strikes the sidewalk. The cops scramble up just as three guns worth of LMG fire begin to mow them down, tearing off limbs and sending them to the ground. The Grand YHVH Order takes cover as Honda quietly says "Pixie,", healing their wounds. [Perception: 6] He can vaguely see a human shape taking cover behind the attackers, who bizarrely have animal heads, who watches them.
"Not worth it," Bobby tells Niko, watching Emanuel quickly, "let's go find a bigger gathering of people. We'll have to leave the car, the opening they left's too small." Despite sighing and muttering a protest under his breath, the two click off the engine and exit the sports car, walking past Emanuel and the arrogant Cirno amicably. As soon as they get down the sidewalk, they can immediately see four animal-headed men killing officers and hunting down civilians. Bingo.
Sarah Caine complies, nodding her head as both her and Reginald willingly get into the car. The cops turn on their sirens and peel off, leaving Sarah alone with her thoughts for a few minutes as they drive to the police station. Finally, they do arrive, stopping off at a downright Victorian looking police station. Once parked, the cop shows he was telling the truth by opening the back door and removing the cuffs. "Come inside," he requests, "tell us your big idea for stopping them."
Showing clear irritation at the battle he's just had to fight, blood dripping from his arm onto the floor of the store, Ramon Ruiz turns and stares at the Carved Deer as it pulls itself out of the shelf. Growling, he ferally shouts out "Join me or DIE!" to the deer. [Intimidation: 8] Being an actual, honest to god, deer, it naturally lacks the human sapience necessary to understand the exact wording. But Ramon does manage to spook it into complying, and so it bows it's head to you. Nodding, Ramon begins getting to work. With tape, drenched motor oil, and a bit of elbow grease, he eventually produces the Electric Rake and the Flaming Gloves, ready to dish out carnage at a melee range. Turning to the shopkeeper, he requests "Listen, pal, I'm probably the only one of the Wiki-Warriors who doesn't plan on burning this fine country to the ground. If you care to join me, I've got these Flaming Gloves for you, or I could probably whip up a new weapon out of some oddball stuff around here. What do you say?" [Convincing: 1] "I say...please leave," he begs of you, weakly pointing to the door.
As Son and Danny grab Yoon and pull him away, Kim stands in front of the officers with a fierce look on his face. With a wave of his hands, the souls of his ancestors begin rising back up [Equipment: 1] still unarmed, but fully ready. They charge forward, [8 v 7] grabbing a measly single officer and beginning to tear him apart. The cops do not give chase as Kim runs towards his comrades, trying to stabilize Yoon [Medical: 6]. At the very least, he'll live, but the placement of the rounds is a detriment. To their right, they see a pitched naval/aerial battle unfolding.
Sighing inwardly, Edgar nevertheless puts on a voice of sheer bravery and poise, shouting to his men "ALMOST, ALMOST! MAINTAIN FIRE ON THE CHOPPER, MEN! THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY DECIDED TO ATTACK EDGAR MASTERS AND HIS CREW!" Complying, the crew pulls some cannons and 50. cals onto the deck and swivel them to face up at the police chopper. [6 v 8] Unfortunately, the chopper dodges most cannon fire, [10 v 8] but is unable to dodge bullets flying in. It chips a rotor, not doing too much, but also being an improvement over the literally nothing damage it had just seconds before. Edgar races over and transforms a cannon into an AA gun. He gets the sense that this is the biggest he can go with the Revisionist, but still, it's by no means small. [10+2 (Designed for aircraft) v 4] He fires, and the rounds slams dead on in the center of the helicopter, basically obliterating it and killing everyone inside in a massive fireball. [5 v 8] Another volley, and another miss, the Elridge's weapons keep as some men go down to fix the hole in the ship. Edgar follows, using the Revisionist to make a pump and some equipment. [Repair: 2] However, the water begins rushing in at a quicker rate, keeping Edgar back from the hole.
Confused by the lack of immediate infantry or nuke-based retaliation from the free world, Super Sloth cracks his weird, green knuckles, and puts matters into his own hands. He raises a hand up, and suddenly shorts out a nearby street-walking government official's phone. When he checks in, he e-commerce balance is at 0. He suddenly begins panicking even as another man turns up. He then begins spreading the journalistic headline "EMPIRE'S MONEY SHORTAGE: E-COMMERCE BUG CRIPPLES ECONOMY" [Journalism: 8+2] which begins spreading like wildfire as the man suddenly jumps on to confirm his story. Loads more tweets and social messaging chimes in even as the official Government account tries to dissuade the populace. Super Sloth can suddenly hear people beginning to exit their homes. The threat of poverty has started a revolt.
With the American politician and Serbian muscle gone, Emanuel and Cirno press on, watching as civilians suddenly begin pouring out of the homes all around them, though the civilians don't seem to pay them any mind. [Distance: 3] They don't manage to get too far with all the civvies running, but they do at least see their destination. They push through anyways, the parking lot in sight as the guards seem a lot more poised to kill.
BSN: Sorry! Writer's block, sickness, blegh. Turn's out, sorry for the delay, I hope this is alright.

Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
As the citizens begin to revolt and riot, the streets becoming littered with their scowls and distress, Honda realizes that the only solution to this situation is Order. But first, he must flee the current chaos before correcting this new one. [Retreat: 9] As the police yell at him to stand down, Honda pulls Father Brigmore away, the Pack following to get far away from them. They attempt to pass across the ice wall...
...right into the sights of Niko and Bobby, the latter of whom takes the Glock from his Serbian companion. "Now," he indicates, before both aim their guns into the group. [6 v 9] [6 v 5] Bobby, inexperienced with firearms, hits nobody, allowing Honda, Father Brigmore, and a single other member of the congregation, the natively Dutch Lars aan het Rot, to run past them. Niko, however, decides to grant a bit of mercy, combining intentionally grazing shots and shots to the ground in an attempt to intimidate the congregation into keeping back. [Intimidate: 1] They, naturally, choose to revolt. The woman who had picked up the P99 fires at Bobby for daring to attack their prophet [2 v 3] but aims a bit high, hitting the ice wall instead. The rest attempt to push through [Strength: 7 v 6], and the sheer number and speed of the horde pushes past them anyway, already hearing Honda use "MANGADHAI!", creating a religious mob on the spot, all ready to strike at the source.
Meanwhile, out at sea, Edgar Masters keep trying to fix the breach in his ship, continuing to revise parts to try and fix the breach. [Repair: 7+2 (Proper Equipment)] The wood is finally replaced and with all the pumps in, the water is beginning to head back out to sea, as water so obviously does. Meanwhile, topside, both of his ships get close enough to try and board. [Boarding: 8+2 (Two Ships)] The crews of both the Phoenix and the Capella swing in, swords and guns blazing, and get the drop on the crew of the Elridge. [5+2 (Boarding Bonus) v 8] Unfortunately, getting the drop on folks does not mean the same thing as immediately winning. While some Elridge crew die, the majority of the casualties from the start come from Edgar and Henry's crewmen. The battle rages on.
With blood now on the concrete, the Korean pop band G.o.d pick up their wounded brother Yuun, and try to find shelter from the madness. [Shelter: 6] They spot a small house that has a citizen run out of it to riot, leaving the door open. It's not likely to have supplies or anything of note, but it's better than dying. They drag Yuun in and shut the door behind them.
Ramon looks at the door and shrugs in a non-committed fashion, turning to the shopkeeper and snarking "Eh, just thought you'd want to survive the coming apocalypse, as I am one of the 10 Horsemen of it. Come on, Chariot!". He steals a compression bandage, which the shopkeeper wisely doesn't object to, and closes it around the stab wound. He then takes the deer, now named "Chariot", and tries to climb on to it so as to ride it. [9] It allows this, becoming a mount for Ramon. Putting on the Flaming Gloves and grabbing the Reaper, he also sees no better alternative than to just tape the Electric Rake to Chariot's head. With that, he heads out on top of Chariot, leaving three deer, one dead and two dying, for the shopkeep to clean up. He doesn't need to look far at all, immediately seeing Gary Richardson in military dress and Bobby Jefferson in a crisp blue suit firing at people.
As people pour out to either riot or panic, they inevitably get near the internet cafe. At the rooftop, they hear something laugh maniacally before popping out of frame. A disgusting green humanoid. This is, of course, Super-Sloth, his master plan unfolding quickly. "Once, I was just like you! But then, the government abducted me and warped my body! I managed to escape, and waited for the perfect time to bring them to justice! That time is now! The economy is crumbling, and it is their fault! But before we can bring them down, we must have weapons! TO THE POLICE STATION!" [Convincing: 3+3 (Appearance + Panic)] A good number of people believe him, though not an army's worth. By his count, twenty people join him. And thus, he hops down, and they march to the police station as the rest just keep running.
Once inside, brought into a big police meeting/bulletin, Sarah Caine is brought up to speak. "I suggest we...push them into a major, but evacuated plaza. Create a barricade of police vehicles manned by cops in full riot gear. Let them all kill eachother in the controlled environment, and then I can take down the last, injured one, win, and then leave Almelo, out of your hair." The cops seem to not mind this, even as some do point out how much Emperor Mycroft is going to need to pay for property damage. Still, they head out to get ready. Minutes later, the first squad of riot officers is heading towards a car, when they see something. Twenty-something people, lead by a...green thing...a green thing holding two bombs, and what looks like a rapper just behind him.
Spurred on by the violence before him, Gary Richardson laughs before shouting "Plow 'em down, leave no one standing, and focus on any wiki-warriors you see!" They comply. [9 v 2] [10 v 6] [6 v 10] Popping another rocket in, Felis starts by aiming at the suited fellow and his Serbian friend, firing an RPG round right at the two of them. Bobby takes the worst out it, getting catapulted through a home and landing on the couch. His right arm is mangled due to the burn and shrapnel from the elbow down, he can feel his right leg ripped apart in a similar manner, and he can feel just how burned his skin is. To make matters worse, the spinning through the room indicates a concussion. Meanwhile, Niko manages to dodge just in time to take less damage. He is still thrown through a building, but aside from that, and shrapnel in his back and left shoulder, the brunt of it isn't as bad. Meanwhile, the Animalistic Militia fires at the cops, but hit no one as they take cover. Meanwhile, Gary Richardson swivels around and fires the MP-443 Grach at Ramon Ruiz and Chariot [9 v 7], striking Chariot in a non-lethal area in the abdomen. It lets out a howl of pain.
Shaking his head, Emanuel continues forward, right into the guard's line of sight. They don't take it well. "STOP!" one orders, holding an assault rifle up to aim at them. "We know your kind, Wiki-Warrior. Walk away now, and you will not die!" Emanuel smiles and says [Convincing: 7-2 (Reputation)] "Son, I am here to save this nation from the darkness, and all I need is to speak to the Emperor. May I please do that much?" The guard radios in, and upon getting a direct response, tells Emanuel "You will have an armed entourage. Say anything wrong and we'll kill you both. Now get in." Emanuel complies, Cirno taking the opportunity to smile at the guard smugly. The guard does the mature response of flipping her off. Three guards follow Emanuel and Cirno as they step into the elevator, heading up to the top floor.
BSN: Sorry for the wait, and the bad April Fool's Joke. I am really not good at the holiday, XD

Once we have secured the perimeter, split my crew into small teams. Use Revisionist again to create some flash bangs and stun grenades and hand them out to the teams, as well as a shotgun for each team. They are ordered to methodically work their way through the interior, first using the grenades and then mopping up the survivors with the shotguns and other weaponry.
If we win, take stock of what’s on the ship. Radio the authorities in the town and inform them I have no interest in anything other than the destruction of the other Wiki-Warriors, and thus demand they are brought out to shore to be killed.

Guns? Pfft, I have at least +3 Travel Distance (Wily Travels [+2], Mounted [+1?]). Normally that's used for getting from one part of town to another quickly. But here, it's being used to close the relatively short distance between my target and I in an instant.
Ah, my beloved videogame physics.
"Law of the jungle." I growl in his face, after getting in his face at high speed. Frankly, this was all in-the-moment stiff, but a glance reveals that his military helmet doesn't have chin covering! Perfect! This means after zipping up to this Wiki-Warrior, I can do as I did with that one deer - Swing the scythe of the Reaper under his chin, into his brain.
Assuming that works out well, and there is a dead/dying man dangling a few feet above the ground by his chin from my Reaper, confidently say to the Animalistic Militia, "I suggest you follow Chariot here's example, and follow me."
(Note: The specification of "Helmet doesn't cover chin" is my attempt to circumvent his +2 Defense by executing a precise attack where it wouldn't cover. It would also leave his armor all pristine for me! But if that is not possible, I understand.)

Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
Even with the Order within the chaotic revolt spreading a smile across his lips, even Honda Honzo realizes that leaving a Wiki-Warrior alone is the worst idea possible. With a single hand gesture, he orders Brigmore and the Revolt to stay put as he runs past the ice wall once more, finding two holes in apartment and house walls where there weren't any before. Making the (actually usually incorrect, if you know how explosives work) assumption that they were blown away by the RPG blast, he looks to see which one holds which. [Perception: 9] Picking the hole on his left, he chooses correctly as the crippled mess that is Bobby Johnson at the moment lays on the couch. He holds his left hand up in a bout of diplomacy, but Honda isn't having it. [10 v 9-2 (Pain)] "Mangadhai," he calmly says, throwing fire with his favorite Demon of his four at Bobby. He rolls off the couch as his burns, eating at his nerves, prevent pain. The shrapnel, however, does impede him as he barely gets far enough. [9 v 6-2 (Pain)] "Mot," he says next, drawing the Demon of the rot, who proceeds to fire a green, smoking ball out. It hits Bobby in the good leg, and he is forced to watch as his pants and skin begin to rapidly decay. [2 v 4-2 (Pain)] Finally, he screams out "HEQET!" who fires electricity. It misses, arcing into the roof instead, and thus Bobby Johnson is spared for the time being.
With a sigh, Captain Edgar Masters comes back on deck and begins using his power on each sword carried by his army. Transforming them into half-musket and half-MP-40 submachine gun, the crew begins using their new weapons to fire on the crew of the Elridge [9 v 6] [Intimidation: 6] Immediately, a good number of Elridge crew begins to fall, which also makes the top deck begin halting their assault. Bottom deck just begins prepping for battle, though. Jumping onboard with his crew, they begin subduing the top deck. With it basically secured, he strategically splits his crew up into teams. With his ability, the Revisionist, he begins turning spare parts and the like into flashbangs, stun grenades, and even functioning shotguns. With their more modern tech making them resemble Somalian Pirates as opposed to Golden Age Privateers, Edgar sends them down while he stays topside. The crew of the Capella come aboard, and Edgar is reunited with his first mate, Henry. While topside, Edgar gets on the Elridge's radio and contacts the authorities. [Convincing: 2] He regales them with his motivation being that of killing other Wiki-Warriors, and that they need to come to the shore to die. The response of said authorities is "Bomb the shit out of them. Then call in the Ki-" before another voice says "Civilians are raiding the station! Arm up!" as the line goes dead.
Bobby Johnson begins to back away, knowing he's about to give into the pain and go unconscious. He holds up a hand to try and stop the Japanese madman, who doesn't seem privy to do so. [Stealth: 6] He steps forward despite hearing noises from behind, thinking them to just be crumbling building as he prepares another attack from a Demon. He growls out "MANGA-" [6 v 9] before a volley of AK-47 rounds from behind sends him scrambling. In walks Niko Bellic who takes the time to run over and drag Bobby into a nearby bathroom. He begins pulling out bandages, painkillers, gauze, and antiseptic, and goes to work. [Medical: 6] While he manages to stem the bleeding and keep Bobby alive for the time being, he is unable to save either his arm or both legs. Bobby Johnson is essentially a paraplegic with one less limb to move on with, only his left arm being able to keep going. [Consciousness: 1] And he then passes out from the shock, going unconscious.
[Temporary Action Shift: Niko Bellic]
Marching to the police station with a grim smile on his face, Super Sloth watches over the area and, in particular, through the windows as cops scramble to try to defend themselves. [Strategy: 9+2] He whispers orders to his followers, who all begin to separate and spring into action: flanking the station. Some come in through the roof, others smashing in windows and sending more officers into a frenzy as they break conduct and just begin opening fire. [9 v 8] [1 v 3] Super Sloth then proceeds to breach the only way he knows how: explosives. The first one he tosses explodes on the front door, not killing anything with either the payload or the poison gas, while the second is shot out of the air by the mobilizing police as citizens swarm them.
In some random house down the street from all the commotion, G.o.d attempts to stem their bleeding as well as possible. [Medical: 8] With clever usage of cloth to stem the bleeding, the light wound in Kim's side is healing as Son tries to heal Yoon and Danny walks off to find supplies. [Medical: 3] [Scavenge: 10] Son manages to get better bandages on Yoon, stopping the bleeding, though without painkillers, the pain will still be an issue. Danny, on the other hand, finds a goldmine. Walking into the study of the home-owner, he turns the place upside down until finding a bit of discolored wall. Using his super-sharp stone sword, he cuts it open, revealing a hidden room. A gun-room, to be precise, including around twenty-five different firearms of different types, as well as attachments. In addition, there are building schematics for the Capitol, as well as a dossier and multiple files. Danny Ahn just stumbled across Sherlock's Eye, the anti-Holmsian rebellion. And while this guy clearly wasn't the leader, he was stacked with info.
With an angry, vicious growl of hatred, Gary Richardson shouts out "Damn it, the deer have betrayed me! Men kill it and the rider!" before opening fire with his LMG. [4 v 7] The MG3 fires, but [Distance: 1+3 (Mounted Distance Bonus)] the deer charges forward anyway, though not close enough to stop the other four from attacking. [5 v 5] [6 v 6] It does, evidently, result in grazes and near-misses as Ramon Ruiz still goes forward, quipping "It isn't betrayal if it's the law, pal." Swinging his scythe from his mount, he growls out "LAW OF THE JUNGLE!" before swinging it at Gary's chin. [9 v 5 (No Defense Bonus: Unarmored Portion)] It impales Gary, but doesn't hit the blade. Instead, it damages the tongue and jaw as the blade exits through his mouth. He is still left dangling, but is very much alive, and very much conscious.
Ignoring the cops and citizens alike, Sarah Caine and Reginald Rothchild both stack up by the door, and fire their respective weapons. [10 v 4] [8 v 5] Sarah's buckshot in her gun hits true, the pellets spreading out, but all hitting the chest. Super Sloth gasps in pain both Reginald's 10mm round hits his knee, sending him to the ground.
Staying calm even as the elevator traveled up, Emanuel sighed and looked to his partner at the moment. Cirno was clearly getting ready for a fight, even though it was the last resort. With one last ping, they arrive to the floor along with the three guards, who use their ID cards to let the doormen know what's going on. They open the door to the throne room, now only containing Mycroft, Brewer, and Cobra. All the guards around have vanished, mostly to quell the rebellion. Emanuel walks up, wringing his hand, and pleads. [Convincing: 8] "My son, listen to me. Your darkness has destroyed lives and is plunging this world into chaos. Please, just end this madness." Surprisingly, Mycroft actually seems to relax a little as he replies "Were it so easy. But that's what Wiki-Warfare does to people. I need to control the populace or else they're going to just inspire more violence." Emanuel shakes his head, responding "But that doesn't excuse nor justify a dystopian horror against God and man." All Mycroft can do is sigh and sit back. Emanuel managed to sway his heart, even if his mind is calling the shots. Before Emanuel can leave, though, Mycroft lets slip something that might let him finally break this cycle: "Would my brother ever forgive me for this..?"
[4 v 10] The crew of the Elridge fights back hard [1 v 3] but not hard enough as both ship crews work themselves into a stalemate.
BSN: Sorry for the tiny delay, I was focusing on some other projects, including my other forum game, some fan-fiction work, the works.
Rockeater, I want to specifically address you because I know rotten luck can turn people off of a game (speaking of which, I should see how Digital Demon's doing..,) by saying that there is a way to fix your current condition. But as GM, you need to think of it on your own.
Also, when your character is knocked unconscious and has an ally, I am not allowing Temporary Action Shifts, which allow you to control the ally until your main character wakes up. Note that you cannot switch to an ally if your character dies, and if you have no allies, you're a sitting duck regardless. I just thought this was more fun than being completely helpless.
And KitRougard: it's cool, I admire the creativity. While the idea is solid, I'm going to have to ask that you don't use "meta-Googling" as the method by which you know the information, purely for Lore reasons: you are trapped within a simulation, after all.

Ask the crew to strip any useless materials from the holds of the Capella, and use Revisionist to create some lethal gas grenades and gas masks. Have the teams from before go around with these, and methodically go through the Elridge, lobbing gas grenades into rooms and either locking the doors or flushing out survivors and eliminating them with the shotguns.

"See this man?"
He makes sure the helmet is off the guy's forehead, then punches his impaled captive in the face, right between the eyes.
"This is your creator!" he bellows, planting another punch.
"See how he falls before me!"
Another punch.
"Now do as your brother Chariot did..."
Punch.
"And bow before me, the greater Horseman of the Apocalypse..."
Punch.
"Or end up like this weak mortal."
One last punch, into a face-grab to burn, well, his face off, followed by a finishing flourish like dropping the scythe end he's on down with a YANK to maybe slice through his jaw, or perhaps take it clear off. Or maybe something better, I'm making this up as I go, y'know?
((And I hope you don't mind a back-log edit to make more IC sense. It would taste bad if I left it poorly synched with the universe!))

Part VIII: The Tables Hath Turned
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
An odd twitch goes through Niko as he feels more in control, more focused. He breathes in before hoisting Bobby up on his shoulders. One hand keeping him steady, the other holding the Glock semi-auto pistol, he kicks the door to the bathroom open, and fires at the still present Honda Honzo. [7 v 10] Honda notices just in time to duck behind the couch, the round exploding up upholstery. Niko groans in irritation before just running out with Bobby past Honda, searching around for a car to steal to get out of here. [Search: 1] Unfortunately, it seems the cars present even after people drove off in the initial fervor are currently being used as cover by animal-headed freakshows with automatic weapons. He runs towards the Ice Wall to grab the sports-car, only to watch the Flock come towards him. [10 v 10] Niko fires into the crowd, no doubt hitting someone, but neither pain nor fear drives them away. YHVH's will is strong.
With his tongue damaged, Gary Richardson is unable to speak, instead gurgling out rage-filled, angry noises from blood bubbled up in his mouth. Still, through those gurgles, he still curses his attacker before pointing his MP-443 Grach right at Ramon's chest. [3+2 (Point Blank) v 10] He tries to fire, but Ramon just hoists him up with the scythe sending pain spiking through him, and making his finger twitch away from the trigger. The Carved Militia fires on Ramon and Chariot. [9 v 5] [1 v 1] [5 v 7] [7 v 9] Ramon prepares to do the Coup de Grace, only for five bullets to suddenly strike him, three in the right hip, and two right in the stomach. He gasps and falls off Chariot, miraculously dodging Canis' rounds. Chariot runs into an alley, dodging gunfire from both Avem and the elite Felis. Gary is dropped on the ground, the scythe falling out from the impact and [Medical: 8] not doing much more damage at all.
Honda walks out from the wreckage in time to see a Flock suddenly charge at Niko and Bobby. [6 v 1] They grab Niko by his arms, dropping his Glock and pulling him into the horde as Bobby is dropped on the ground. [Consciousness: 10] Honda walks over, ready to finish him off. He looks down and smiles down at his adversary, chuckling. Suddenly, however, he is caught off guard by Bobby's eyes suddenly opening, his good hand going forward for a Surprise Counter Attack! [9+2 (Surprise Attack) v 1] He hurriedly draws something in the air before grabbing Honda's leg. Honda looks down to see his leg's skin flay open into what looks like paper pages. Bobby writes something in the paper, saying aloud "I will suffer two major injuries in my lower half," as he writes. He shuts the pages like he shut a book, and after a second, Honda feels something inside of him blow right at the same time his left kneecap bursts in a shower of blood and bone. The Flock finally moves back in shock, allowing Niko to run over, grab Bobby, and throw him in the backseat of the Stinger.
With their carrying capacity set at a main gun, a sidearm, and one extra reload each (save for Yoon, who is catching a break in the form of just a sidearm with two magazines to reload with), G.o.d gets to work, grabbing different guns off the racks. Kim, the main man and Wiki-Warrior, grabs a Remington 870 capable of seven rounds (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Remington_870) and a 16-round Jericho 941 R pistol. (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Jericho_941_R#Jericho_941) Yoon takes just a sidearm in the form of a Glock 26 with ten rounds per magazine. (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Glock_26#Glock_26) Danny Ahn gets an eight-shell loaded Franchi PA3 (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Franchi_PA3) and a six round Raven Arms MP-25. (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Raven_Arms_MP-25) Finally, Son Ho-Young gives the Stone Sword to Yoon so he is free of weight, before grabbing his sidearm first, the 32-round MAC-10 (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/MAC-10) and then his main gun the Thompson M1921 with a 50-round drum magazine. (http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Thompson_M1921#M1921_Thompson) With their guns all sorted out, they grab the files and try to sneak out of the house. [Stealth: 2] Immediately, Ursa of the Carved Milita notices them and points at them, Gary looking over and seeing them as they run, [Search: 3-2 (Previous Roll Result)], not finding any cars as they run down the street.
Using the useless debris and flotsam of the Capella, Edgar Masters hands out, to his crew, gas grenades and gas masks. They take back to the enemy ship itself. [8+2 (Superior Tactics and Tech) v 2] The crew are no match. If they aren't dying to the gas, they are getting shot. No questions asked. Soon, the Elridge is eerily quiet, and still. Edgar laughs in triumph as this ship practically joins his fleet.
Despite his wounds, Ramon tries to get up still. [Balance: 2-2 (Pain)] But the adrenaline faded quick with the first bullet, and thus he lays bleeding on the ground. Still, while everyone is distracted, he slowly crawls towards Gary. Gary looks over just in time to see that he's still around, and Ramon asks aloud "See this man?" [8 v 6] He grabs the helmet and manages to throw it a few feet away [6 v 9] before thrusting down a flaming punch. Gary rolls away just in time to avoid it, even as Ramon rants still "This is your creator!" [7 v 2] He manages to hit this time, a solid punch both bruising and burning his right cheek as he gasps. "See how he falls before me!" [9 v 7] A grazing blow just burns his nose, still making Gary yell in pain. "Now do as your brother Chariot did..." [7 v 9] Another missed punch, whiffing as Gary keeps dodging. "And bow before me, the greater Horseman of the Apocalypse..." [1 v 3] He misses a punch badly, allowing Gary to finally get up and stand over Ramon. "Or end up like this weak mortal," Ramon says, reaching up and straining to grab Gary's face. [1 v 1] But the pain forces Ramon to the ground as Gary leans back and trips on his feet, landing back prone on the asphalt.
In the police station, [8 v 6] as the two of them watch as a cop is thrown into a photocopier by an angry civilian, Sarah Caine and Reginald Rothchild act stealthily. [Stealth: 5] [Stealth: 9] While Sarah doesn't do the best job, being spotted by a young man with bleached blonde hair who lunges for her, Reginald is in a prime position. [7 v 1] One 10mm shot to the back of the head, and the Civilian goes down, allowing Sarah to pop up and shoot another civilian, this time an older gentleman with a chair. [8 v 5] He takes the spread across his body and collapses, though he does not die.
Laughing maniacally, Super-Sloth rests on the ground. He places his palm flat on the ground, and from it emerge two spiders, which crawl in first. [2 v 7] One is crushed in the chaos immediately [4 v 6] while the other rests on the wall, waiting. Super-Sloth then summons two more bombs and chucks them into the police station. [5 v 2] [9 v 7] The first bomb hits dead on, blowing several cops and poisoning the ones who get back up. He sees his fellow Wiki-Warrior Sarah taking cover, and throws another bomb. This one just destroys more of the front of the building, but it leaves her wide open.
Emanuel turns back around and clasps his hands together. With a gentle smile, he appeals "All can be forgiven should one work to redeem themselves. For a man who works to fix there mistakes has not truly made a mistake until they cease trying to fix it. I have faith in you, that you want to do good. And in time, be it now, tomorrow, or many weeks or even years from now, you will start the vindication of right." [Convincing: 6+2 (Accomplishment)] Mycroft seems touched by those words, sighing and nodding "Maybe...maybe. Once this Wiki-War ends, I'll start taking more humane strides. Not removing my Empire, but...making it less of a dark pla-" Just then, a red alert calls out, bathing the room in scarlet. "...No...The King? This situation requires The King?!"
Over in the distance, a shape approaches from the air towards the three ships on the water. A helicopter, black with red lights all over. It almost camouflages against the night sky. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUqKMv4LOFw) [7 v 4] It fires a missile right towards the Capella. The missile destroys the main mast, and Edgar watches as some of his crewmen are blown apart. Not necessarily damage that is irreparable, but this winged beast took time from it's flight just to do so. It then flies off to Almelo proper. Every other Wiki-Warrior can see this shape approaching the capitol, save for Emanuel, who instead hears a baritone voice ask:
"This is Blackhawk. Where do you want me?"
BSN: Killing by Korn is the most frequent music track in this game, XD
Hope that was a good turn! As always, if anyone has any disputes, do say so. The turnaround in terms of rolls is actually kind of unreal.

I will also use Revisionist to create some night vision and thermal goggles, and assign eight of the crew with the best eyesight to use these and scan the horizon for the evilness what just blew us up. There will be two each scanning the horizon to the north, south, east, and west. They will act as spotters to the gunner, who will be continuously manning the anti-air gun I created ages ago, while I will also create some handheld anti-air weaponry for another small group, who will also pay attention to the spotters commands.
Another group of my crew will man the cannons facing the shore, and will fire on the most official looking buildings, while I get on the radio with the following message, broadcast across all frequencies:
“I do not appreciate the continued assaults on my fleet, and will maintain fire on you until the remaining Wiki-Warriors are brought within range of my vessel. I have already shot down one of your defenders, I assure you I have the means to do it again and again. Do not aggravate me further, or I will be forced to concentrate my efforts on your fine city.”
Assign a small crew to the Elridge, ask them to press all the buttons.

Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
As Ramon tries desperately to turn the tide back around on Gary Richardson, bleeding out and falling apart on the road even as he still tries to punch Gary, the other man just raises his LMG. One bullet. That's all it'll take, and then the Militia can pick up the scraps even if it does end up missing. [7-2 (Pain) v 5-2 (Pain)] The Adrenaline wearing off and the pain setting in leaves Gary unable to finish the job. His single bullet still hits, however, tearing through Ramon's right ear narrowly and making him, again, yell in pain. The Militia walks up, watching the band G.o.d for a second, before aiming their own assault rifles and LMGs at Ramon Ruiz. [7 v 1-2] Unfortunately for Ramon, not all of them need to attack. As Ramon scrambles to grab a car battery for his ingenious plan, Felis raises the Norinco up and fires a round into Ramon's head, killing him instantly as blood pours out. The other three members of the Militia fire a bullet into his head, as well, just to make sure he's really dead.
Ramon Ruiz has been executed! Gary Richardson gets:
https://detroit-become-human.fandom.com/wiki/Shades_of_Color: +Ally: Markus (https://detroit-become-human.fandom.com/wiki/Markus)
"Excuse me," a voice says from the alley behind Gary. His Militia turns around to see a young man raising his hands and walking out of the shadows. "Don't shoot. My name is Markus. I was told by this...humanoid bit of computer code, that if I helped you with this competition, there was at least a chance of you returning the favor yourself, home in Detroit. I hope I can be of some use, in that case."
Meanwhile, while the future leader of an android rebellion (though that's a story for another time) introduces himself to the Wiki-Warrior, G.o.d takes cover around the corner, and opens fire on the distracted Militia. [10 v 5] Kim strikes first, firing his Jericho pistol at the leader of the group, Felis. Felis catches a bullet in his side and crumples up in pain, landing on the ground. [4-2 v 8] Yoon strikes as well, firing on Ursa. Unfortunately, the pain throws off his aim greatly, as he fires two shots that veer wildly off course. [3 v 2] Danny fires his shotgun over a long-distance at Canis, just grazing the hip with a single pellet and basically only making Canis flinch. [4 v 9] Finally, Son fires three rounds from his Thompson at Avem, who goes behind cover to dodge them. Ursa goes ballistic, aiming at them as he charges forward right as the ghostly apparitions of Kim's ancestors emerge from the ground. [9 v 5] They bum rush Ursa, pulling him to the ground before punching and kicking his face brutally.
Meanwhile, at the Police Station, Super-Sloth watches with a pleased grin at the chaos. Pulling out two more bombs, he specifically aims for the now cover-less Sarah Caine, and then chucks them both in quick succession. [8 v 1] [3 v 4] The first one flies right at Sarah, who flinches and tries to run in vain. However, Reginald suddenly runs out, grabs the bomb, and runs towards Super-Sloth. It explodes long before he reaches his target, however, sacrificing himself. With both arms blown off, he falls over poisoned, puking up blood. The second bomb, Sarah runs away from as it detonates, killing a couple more cops and civilians. Sarah aims her shotgun at Super-Sloth, right as an itsy bitsy spider crawls up beside her. [4 v 3] It tries to bite at a blood vessel, but instead misses, biting into Sarah's ankle. Without poison of it's own, Sarah just gasps as pain flows through her (-1 Pain Debuff) before shaking the spider off.
"PIXIE!" Honda Honzo screams out, summoning the Persona who then hangs over him to heal the damage. [Medical: 4+2 (Magic Healing)] Honda's internal bleeding is stopped, saving his life, but his kneecap is still blown apart. Grumbling, he points at the sports car and makes a "gun" hand signal, leading to both of The Flock with guns to fire on the yellow Stinger as it tries to peel out. [10 v 5] [5 v 10] Both Father Brigmore and the woman with the P99 fire. Father Brigmore shoots first, managing to hit Niko's chest. The Serbian former-soldier gasps in pain before quickly dodging the woman's blast, before retaliating with his own. [7 v 4] He fires his Glock through the windshield, shooting the woman in the stomach. She groans in pain, and clutches the wound.
With that done, the Stinger drives away, looking for a clinic for both men as Niko tries to hold on and look for a hospital. [Search: 2] They find one nearby, but the lines are enormous. With an Empire-wide coup going on, it only makes sense that so many are injured or killed in the chaotic first hour. Thus, they park.
With medkit upon medical supply being Revised from the code of various bits of ship, Henry and a team of medics race over to the Capella as quick as they can. They check over the wounded, dividing them into Minor Injuries (those who can act without treatment), Moderate Injuries (those who need treatment), Severe Injuries (who need treatment after the previous group and are not fit to serve), and Mortal Wounds (who should simply be made comfortable before they die.) [Medical: 8+2 (Medical Supplies)] Luckily, a good number of people can be saved. Sure, still around fifteen people died from wounds too great to heal, but all in all, prospects there look good. Using the Revisionist, Edgar then makes night vision and thermal goggles as well, and assigns them around the ship on anti-air duty: monitoring for Blackhawk as much as they possibly can. Meanwhile, cannons face the shoreline, firing on important looking buildings that they can see. [8 v 1] They fire on one, what looks to be a clinic close by their starting position. Niko and Bobby can see the top of the hospital explode as screaming surrounds them. With that done, and the buttons on the Elrigde being pushed (mostly fiddling with a useful radar), Edgar sends an ultimatum via radio: "I do not appreciate the continued assaults on my fleet, and will maintain fire on you until the remaining Wiki-Warriors are brought within range of my vessel. I have already shot down one of your defenders, I assure you I have the means to do it again and again. Do not aggravate me further, or I will be forced to concentrate my efforts on your fine city."
Emanuel, slightly confused as to what's happened involving Blackhawk and the line, simply stands and waits. Mycroft, the now-former dictator of an Empire, sighs and shakes his head. "Damn," he says aloud, "that message rings true. This coup must be stopped before I can change my ways. Priest, or Pastor...Rabbi? Whatever your creed or faith, I have need of you. There are dissenters to the throne. In respect of your faith, you shouldn't kill them, but rather capture them, bring them to me, and cut the wings off their rebellion." He pulls out a smartphone and shows Emanuel and Cirno the camera feeds. "The one in the street asking for the order of YHVH, the green one near the police station, and most importantly, the pirate from my homestead committing acts of terrorism. Bring them to me, and you shall be rewarded."
Thankful for being alive, though sorrowful at the sacrifice of her friend, Sarah Caine moves behind a barricade set up by the police, moving side-by-side and firing her shotgun at the intruders. [1 v 1] [7-1 v 3] Said cops miss most of their shots, fear plaguing them as the civilians move closer, only to be blown away by Sarah's shotgun blast.
BSN: Once again, I feel the need to address this: Wiki-Warfare does not condone or celebrate violence or terrorism.
Anyway, sorry for the delay! The past few days have been so rough that I just couldn't update like I wanted to. Sapped motivation, poor sleep schedule, cheering up friends going through bad situations. It's been a mess, so I thank you all for your incredible patience with me. :D

The team’s primary task is to find the wiki-warriors, and secondary task is to find actual official buildings to fire on. Also give them a radio so they can communicate more specifically, if necessary.
They’ll fire the flare gun whenever they find a wiki-warrior - and they will take pains to avoid actually initiating contact - or government building.
Also create an air raid siren with Revisionist, and sound it off each time prior to firing on the city.
Continue the bombardment, focusing fire on a flare whenever it goes up, and we’ve allowed the team a chance to get clear.

Midnight, Overcast, 11/14/2020
The midnight hour fades, replaced with an Early Morning still bathed in black, and a weather beginning to Drizzle, lightly raining in melancholy.
[SP: 8] Luckily, after all his spellcasting, Honda Honzo still has the resources necessary to use his Demons and Personae. But from now on, he will need to make sure he has the Spirit Points necessary to spend. [Medical: 10] Using Pixie, he restores his kneecap fully, and feels energized to a point of peak physical condition. [+2 to next roll.] However, this has used up his SP; he needs to recharge. Rising back up on still somewhat shaky feet, he shakes his head to clear away grogginess before raising a hand up to signal the charge. With a single pointed finger, him and his flock charge right for the current location of Bobby and Niko Bellic. [Search: 5+2 (Peak Physical Condition)] They manage to find the yellow Stinger sports car right as it pulls out of the parking lot of a hospital.
Right as Niko drives the hell away from the bombed hospital, hitting the road as quickly as possible, Bobby turns back (and Niko sees through the rear view mirror), a horde of YHVH's minions running towards them, lead by the somehow still walking, still fighting Honda Honzo. Niko pulls down his car window, and chucks a molotov at them as he speeds up. [4 v 6] The molotov misses, the mob running past it, [Escape: 3] as the yellow Stinger manages to speed off, but with them right on their heels. [10 v 10] Father Brigmore fires his gun right at Niko's head from the back window, but Niko drifts, spinning the car to the side and letting the bullet pass harmlessly through the driver and passenger side windows before spinning it forwards and speeding off again. They manage to make it to the outskirts of a military base, driving up to the gate. The soldiers there stop them routinely, they see a raging mob heading towards them and immediately open fire. [8 v 7] Their gunfire kills one and injures three, forcing them to run off. After a second of corroboration, they are allowed inside, where both men are pulled away for injury treatment.
[4 v 10-2] [9-2 v 3] [9 v 9] [4 v 7] Kim fires at Felis once again, who manages to dodge behind cover. Yoon actually manages to strike, firing a bullet into Ursa's stomach and leaving him further trapped in the hail of specters. Danny and Son fire at Canis and Avem once each, but miss, forcing the two of them into cover. Kim waves his hand and sends his ghosts out to fight all four militia men, aiming to cut off Gary's support network. [8 v 3-2] The first group of ghosts heads to the injured Felis, and start off by grabbing his left arm and breaking it at the elbow before coming down and kicking him directly in the left eye, destroying it. [8 v 10-2] The ghosts around Ursa grow weaker, and even through the pain, Ursa manages to break out of it, roaring. [8 v 10] The ghosts then come for Canis, but he manages to get out of the hail of destruction and run out of there. [3 v 2] Finally, Avem is surrounded, but only suffers minor wounds as he is punched and kicked around.
Gary scowls in anger, turning around and giving Markus his MP-443 Grach and just hoping he can use it well. He gestures to the free Canis to follow them [Pursuit: 8], and he starts to, but the Ancestral Spirits chase after him, getting an assault off [6 v 1]. The one that manages to grab Canis does so with gusto, pulling him to the ground face first. His dog snout takes the brunt of the damage, but he is still left with a concussion and a broken nose as he is surrounded by spirits. Markus leads the way as Gary leaves without him. The two search for a secluded building to rest and gain more leverage [Search: 2], but unfortunately, every building they find around them seems to occupied by either rioters, or what looks like some kind of resistance guerilla group, stepping in or out of homes, in and out of the shadows. "A violent revolution doesn't seem like it'll go well," Markus comments, "but if you want change, you can't just sit around asking for permission."
[Revisionist: 1] Right as Edgar is about to create the kevlar, he is suddenly stopped as blinding pain goes through his arm. When it stops, he is hit with a realization: E.D.U. An AI designed for education would of course have machine learning. And after this long of getting away with it, she's finally set-up a wall: he can still revise, but it will take effort. [Revisionist: 1] To illustrate the point, he goes to at least produce the assault rifles, but the pain strikes him again, his virus screaming out just the same as he does. [Revisionist: 10] He does, however, manage to create five tracking devices and the flare guns necessary without any issue, though, as he puts forth the effort to cover his tracks. With those done, he gives them a radio that was already on a Capella crew member, and sends them out on a rowboat with merely muskets and swords, in addition to the tracker and flares. Edgar then tries to produce an air-raid siren as a warning for the Ground Crew [Revisionist: 3] He starts to create it from some wood, but can't quite manage it before the firewall pushes him back, this time without much pain. The ground crew immediately comes across the ghosts attacking Canis, Avem, Felis, and Ursa. Knowing these aren't Wiki-Warriors, but indeed figuring that they are connected, they fire a flare and then run. [8+2 (Flare Guidance) v 9] They fire an explosive shot cannonball at the flare, and though they don't hit the Militia, they do destroy a building obstructing their view. And after viewing the damage through a telescope, they can spot G.o.d easily.
Super-Sloth grimaces as Reginald Rothchild dies in front of him, displeased with not killing Sarah. He summons two more spiders and sends them in, before throwing two more bombs. [5 v 8] The first bomb doesn't do much, merely blowing up the roof [6 v 10] of which the rubble harmlessly falls behind the set-up barricade. [8 v 1] The second bomb, however, makes it through the hole in the roof and behind the barricade. An officer screams "RUN-" just before it detonates. Before she knows it, Sarah is vomiting and retching in the main lobby, having taken the least of the brunt of the bomb as she sees pieces of viscera around her. The poison from the bomb will probably leave her system before it can kill her, but the pain from said poison and the shrapnel doesn't help. (-2 Pain Debuff)
Sarah, despite her injuries, gets up and tries to look for weapons stealthily on unsteady feet. [Stealth: 8-2] No one seems to care about her as she stumbles around, blood coming from her nose and mouth as she rests a hand on a wall to steady herself. [Scavenge: 3-2] Before she can make it to the armory, she succumbs to the poison, passing out on the ground. She is dragged out by a rioter [Stealth: 6] and unbeknownst to anyone but her main assaulter, she does indeed have a saving grace left.
Emanuel thinks over the mission details in his head, contemplating exactly what he's going to do, but with a nod of his head, he comes to a decision. "I will try..." he tells Mycroft, leaving the room through the elevator. This time, the guards politely escort him out. On foot, he thinks over who the easiest one to attack would be, wanting to do that one first. That green one looked rather secluded and by himself, even though he seemed to be in a public parking lot. Thus, he goes after Super-Sloth. After walking for many agonizing moments, helped by some shortcuts through bushes, he makes it to the police station. He tries to stealth his way over, but a tree branch alerts Super-Sloth. Though Super-Sloth doesn't see him, he can smell his presence.
The Militia tries to fight back. [8-4 (Pain, Crippling) v 2] Despite the burst eye, broken arm, and pain from all that plus a bullet wound, Felis manages to whack enough of them away to crawl out of the chaos. [7 v 8] Canis, despite being concussed, also manages to fight the ghosts attacking him back. [8 v 4] Despite his sudden burst of energy, Ursa is pulled back into the ghosts, who proceed to stomp on his stomach. [1 v 4] Finally, Avem makes it out with issue, shaking them off.
BSN: Thanks, y'all, for being patient! Like I said, I was sick throughout the last bit o' this week, but I'm back now, everything should be groovy.
Yes, I instigated Spirit Point and Revisionist rolls. I know Wiki-Warfare's about being unbalanced, but as both a fan of Persona and someone who knows computers, limiting those to resources made more sense than freely throwing them around.
I'll include a debuff for concussions. I didn't include them here due to some back and forth on the subject, but starting next turn, being concussed will affect you.
So, yeah, we're back. Can't wait to see next turn.

Have the ground crew call in on the radio when they feel they are at a safe distance, then fire a few shots to get the range correct, and maintain a barrage of fire on g.o.d., and the position from where the flare went up.

Keep trying to create the siren for warning my crew. Pain means nothing if it means keeping them safe. Indeed , there should be some painkillers in the medical supplies... so ask Henry to find and apply them.

But uh, have the pair of spiders I sent in already duck back and hide near the rubble of the barricade. In case whatever I smell tries to attack me from behind.

Deathmatch
Part XI: Bombs Away
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
With their enemies distracted and currently being assaulted by ghosts, the Korean pop group lead by Kim Tae-woo feel like their escape is covered properly. While the Militia is torn apart, they make their getaway right as they begin to hear direction-corrective fire explode above them. That flare was important. [Escape: 1] Unfortunately, while they find a house fairly quickly, the explosions get closer and closer. It's up to each individual member to save and make it there...
Before Edgar presses on, he must do something about this pain going through him. What is pain if not protecting his crew from harm, yes? So, he asks Henry to go grab some painkillers from the medical supplies to do something about it. [Medical: 5] He grabs a single painkiller, but as Edgar pops it, it proves to be effective [Revisionist: 5+2 (Painkillers)] as he successfully Revises the wood into a functioning air raid siren. He turns it on, sounding an alarm, and waits for a radio message soon to come before opening fire on G.o.d, ignoring the ghosts and Militia in favor of the Korean wiki-warrior and the fools following him first. [2 v 8] Kim himself is first, but running like hell pays off as he ducks into the house successfully. [2 v 2] Next is Son Ho-young, who manages to dodge the explosives, but the heat is sweltering and he runs into the house sweating. [2 v 5] Danny Ahn also dodges successfully. [8 v 10-2] Finally, Yoon Kye-sang, who seems the most vulnerable, still manages to run into the house. With a building in the way blocking the shot, the crew turns on the Militia, where the flare went up. [9+2 (First Shot Surprise) v 2-4] Felis, the Cat-Headed, is killed instantly, blasted into gory pieces and splattered against the street. [4 v 4] Avem ducks and covers after seeing his teammate get pulverized, running into the building Bobby Johnson was blown through to safety. [1 v 5] Ursa is next, and the shots there just miss as they impact nearby buildings, sending debris down that would have killed Felis if there was any of him left. [3 v 7-2 (Concussion)] Canis is last on the chopping block, but he manages to break free just as a bomb blast goes off goes by, nearly deafening him as he runs down the alley towards Gary and Markus.
Super-Sloth, smiling widely at his progress, waves his hands. Two more spiders burst from his body as he finally walks inside the police station, pleased to see the Wiki-Warrior unconscious in front of him. He ignores her, however, instead beckoning a few rioters to follow him into finding an armory. [Search: 7+2 (Disarray Making It Easier To Spot)] He finds it quickly, and passes around shotguns, pistols, and ammo to spare to many different rioters. However, there's a twinge in the air. With both of the spiders he summoned already, he sends them out to the first barricade in the front of the station, to watch for intruders...
Hiding by the borders of the military base, breathing hard and slinking down to take cover, Honda Honzo thinks of the plan. He grabs an apple and some milk, and begins downing them to try and recover his SP as much as possible. [SP Recovery: 2] He manages to recover enough for two spells, good enough for the short term. He puts his plan into action by popping back out into the open and shouting "MANGADHAI!" before casting the spell for panic. [7 v 6] He doesn't scare too many soldiers, but enough of them go blank and topple over, fetal, that they can sneak in. He then summons Mot to silence them. [3] He keeps them quiet, but they can still speak. They open their mouths wide, but what comes out is only a couple decibels louder than a whisper. They're panicking, but never screaming. With that done, he orders them to charge [Stealth: 5+2 (No One Close)] which they do, ducking behind building to building.
Once Bobby Johnson and Niko Bellic are loaded up on stretchers in the medical ward, surrounded by soldiers and doctors alike, Bobby Johnson remembers that military medical kind of, erm, sucks? They'll save their lives, but the extraneous injuries remain as they are. So, Bobby fixes this. [Seduction: 2+2-2 (Concussion] Bobby turns on the charm on a male doctor with fair skin, "Friend, we're friends of the Emperor. Surely a strong... and then he stops, the concussion making him stumble and pass out as the doctor walks off. When he wakes up, both of his useless legs and his useless right arm are gone, replaced with stumps. He genuinely only has one limb left. But, Niko is no longer bleeding out, and the shrapnel within him is gone. He's still mildly concussed (-2 > -1) with burnt skin, but they're both much better. He turns on the charm on a soldier [Charm: 7+2-1] and succeeds in getting the Commander-in-Chief, General Joep van Engelen, to visit.
Surrounded by the bustle of a revolution beginning in earnest, Gary looks around to find a secluded alleyway to conduct his plan. [Search: 7] He finds one, and orders Markus to stand by it as cover. Once he gets to the walls, he begins carving away for his new set of allies. [8+2 and 10+2] Drawing up a Field Medic and an Elite Soldier, he gives them animal heads as well. The medkit carrying Ratte has a rat's head, while the elite soldier has a scorpion's head and stinger, thus naming himself Skorpion. Since conventional weapons didn't work, Gary aims to carve out death rays between the two of them [9+2] and while he doesn't make One-Hit Kill rays, he successfully creates two infinite ammo blasters loaded with Ionized Plasma
[Consciousness: 1] The poison within Sarah Caine gets worse. Unless she gets medical attention fast, she will die.
Surrounded by blood and death, Emanuel sighs, but comes up with a simple plan. All that was needed was Cirno. He sends her to speedily fly in [Speed: 2] but not so fast that the spiders can't warn Super-Sloth just in time. Cirno barrels through the building, and arrives right behind the mad man, throwing her ice at him [9 v 7] which frosts over him as he dodges. He is frigid (-1 to Rolls), but unfrozen, as he turns around with that damn creepy smile. Meanwhile, outside, Emanuel stands before the rioters, and calls out "MY CHILDREN!" which quickly grabs their attention. [Convince: 7] "Look at yourselves! Murdering cops? Raiding homes? I managed with a simple conversation what you spilled blood to take. My children, leave this area, leave the Wiki-Warrior in there alone so that true justice may be dispensed unto them!" And they do. They disperse, only having wanted results. One pulls the dying Sarah Caine out, offering her life to the merciful Emanuel.
Overhead, Blackhawk hovers over the Capitol, in it's care an elite man. The King.
Meanwhile, the revolution itself boils over as a hacked message reaches Mycroft, and by extension of the network, every Wiki-Warrior. A British-accented voice. "My dear brother. Apologies for the late arrival, but I deduce that this has gone too far. So, popping in from the UK, I will say this. It's time for my hand to clench, and my Eye to stare into your sins." And then the streets are flooded with a revolutionary militia. Sherlock's Eye has arrived.

Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
Despite his rigid, frosted over state, Super-Sloth still smiles like a slasher towards Cirno. His ironic activism has lead to new targets, but this one's special, her cryomancy giving her an edge over him. [2-1 v 2] Aiming to seek a distraction, he chucks a bomb at Cirno, but undershoots it enough that her quick speed catches it and throws it outside, harmlessly detonating a cop car. He doesn't let this faze him, however, using his other bomb on the roof [Accuracy: 10-1] and managing a direct blast. The roof collapses in between Cirno and Super-Sloth, allowing Super-Sloth to make a tactical retreat [Escape: 6-1] in a dead end armory with several luckily weak walls. Cirno tries to give chase [3 v 6] only for two spiders to lunge at her, which she dodges easily.
[SP Recovery: 10] With a single bite of an apple, Honda Honzo is rejuvenated. For the next few minutes (this turn and the one after), he has unlimited SP, and is topped off when that bonus runs out. Satisfied with this little victory [Stealth: 1] he laughs in triumph, which immediately gets the attention of the jumpy military. [10 v 3] [9 v 9] [7 v 9] They immediately open fire, hitting Honda in the chest, stomach, and right calf with 5.56mm rounds [Intimidation: 7+2 (Wounded Leader)], scaring The Flock and Father Brigmore out. Wounded and bleeding out, Honda tries to use his Demon, stumbling out "M-Manga...dhai..." [8-2 (Pain - Lost Focus) v 7] The Demon shoots fire, which the soldiers dodge, before running towards him, handcuffs in tow. [Grapple: 2 v 8-2] Despite his injuries, he physically shakes off the guards and tries to run to the hospital [Escape: 4-2] only to stumble from his wounds and fall flat on his face, bleeding on the ground.
Despite now being in the house, G.o.d decide they need to get the fuck out of said house, for their safety. So, ducking and covering to keep safe, they sprint and run like hell. [10+2 (Ducking and Covering + Numbers)] Sneakily, they exit the house, conveniently hiding behind buildings so that Edgar can't see, eventually turning up in an alley complex nearby [Spot: 2] where there doesn't seem to be any Wiki-Warriors, but there is an armed militia running around, including one who walks up and looks at them. "Are you Holmsian?" he asks in British English, not knowing if Kim can speak the language.
Satisfied with his work so far, Gary leans back against the wall, and allows Ratte, his rat-headed doctor, to try and patch up his injuries as best as possible. [Medical: 2+2 (Natural Bonus)] He pads the bruises and burns with ointments, not doing much, but helping with the pain. With that done, Ratte pulls out his medkit and goes to work on his jaw and tongue. [Medical: 3+2 (Natural Bonus) +2 (Medkit)] He gauzes and sews up the jaw slash, stopping the bleeding, and also does his best work on the tongue. "You vill be unable to speak, as ze damage is great," Ratte says in a German accent, "But you vill survive." With that done, Gary gets to work on carving a mortar and mustard gas grenades. [Carving: 3+2] He creates a mortar, but accidentally carves it a base, causing the real, metal one to be rooted to the ground. Unfettered, he tries to do the gas grenades as Markus watches, actually looking as if he's...judging. [Carving: 1+2] He creates grenades alright. Normal ones. With no gas payload, they only serve as standard grenades, and he only makes three. He cannot actually hear much fighting going on, though, save for deafening bomb blasts.
Using the radio, Edgar instructs his soldiers to continue on, to look for more Wiki-Warriors. [Spot: 2] However, the smoke rising from their own explosives blocks the view, and the Sherlock's Eye militia running the streets leaves them disorientated. No matter to Edgar, who moves over to the cannon shot [Revisionist: 2], but is blocked with a dose of pain peeking through the lost painkillers. He asks to maintain fire on the buildings, inadvertently only attacking Gary's allies Ursa and Avem. [1 v 5] Avem survives his volley, rolling away and trying to run to where Canis is as the ghosts vanish from proximity. [3 v 10] Ursa, meanwhile, gets a sudden boost of adrenaline, of sheer rage, and breaks free, running to the RPG-7. He loads it and runs out to where Edgar's ship is, and fires his RPG right at the pirate captain. [8 v 6] It undershoots enough, blasting shrapnel into Edgar's right hand and creating a hole under him [Grip: 8], but he holds on to his ship, keeping himself from falling in.
The General, Joep van Engelen, literally steps over Honda's bleeding body as he walks into the hospital, meeting face to face with the amputated Bobby Johnson. He sternly bites down on his cigar as Bobby makes his case. [Politics: 9+2-1] "Now, as a friend of the Emperor, I know for a fact that these riots will destroy us. The religious nuts, that Sherlock militia, the rioting citizens. The empire will fall without military intervention." Generel van Engelen nods and responds, in Dutch, "Je hebt gelijk," before walking back out. [8+2 (Point Blank) v 2-2 (Pain)] "M-Manga-", "Die." And with one last gunshot to the head, Honda Honzo is executed, and YHVH's plan crumbles.
YHVH's Law falls. As an ally of Bobby's, Bobby gets:
https://rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Sage_Ayana: +Sage's Blade
In a flash of purple code, a sword appears by Bobby's torn suit, long in terms of the blade with a silver blade, black hammer, and a gold chain hanging from the pommel. "..Sure wish I had two hands to hold that thing," he notes dryly.
Emanuel rushes over to the dying woman's side, and tries to find a way to save her. But firstly, Cirno continues trying to catch Super-Sloth. [Chase: 7-2 (Obstruction)] She can't squeeze past the debris, but there is a small opening to fire another Ice Covering projectile, which she takes advantage of. [9 v 10-1] She fires her projectile, only for Super-Sloth to smoothly lean back, the blast freezing a civilian behind him completely. Back with Emanuel, he prays, trying to find an answer. [Religious Guidance: 6+2] Emanuel can feel a warmth, ostensibly by God, and in this state of bliss, he notices that she's been poisoned. There isn't much he can do here, but there was a hospital a few miles back that, yes, was bombed, but may still be taking in people like this woman.
The military begins rolling up, dumping Honda's body to the Flock before beginning to arrest them for crimes against the country, gunning down those who resist. The clean-up has begun, as Blackhawk begins flying towards Edgar's ship once again. The anti-air responds first [6 v 8] but Blackhawk pops flares before firing rockets at the two ships Edgar isn't on. [6 v 6] [9 v 6] The Elridge receives no damage, but a bomb blast hits the Capella's side, killing three and sending four more into the sea. Surprised by the lack of obvious targeting, Blackhawk is allowed to drop a rope, upon which slide down a regal looking figure. Green and white robes, a sword with a cross-shaped hilt and jade pommel, a crown on the top of his head, and dark skin with hazel eyes. The man speaks in a Rwandan accent, demanding "CAPTAIN MASTERS! I am the King of Rwanda, and the second hand of the Holmsian Empire. I know you seek No Quarter in all conflict, so face me in a one on one duel on the mainland. If you win, and kill me, we in the government will hold off, the only opposition being the pacifistic Wiki-Warrior agent you face. But if I win, and you die? Your men must stand down and face trial. You are allowed advantages, of course, but this is one on one. No outside help. Do we have a deal, Captain? Or are you going to drag this out?"
BSN: ANGRY_DEMON_NOISES: Waitlist? And any disputes?
So, sorry for taking a while, folks. Things got busy and I needed a break from...anything! But I'm back now. Yay. :)
I hope you enjoyed this turn, and I'll see y'all for the next one.

Captain Edgars spits at the ponce's feet, holding up his bloody hand.
"You fire on my ships and kill my men, then challenge an injured man to a fight to the death? Such a brave man you are, sire," drawing chuckles from his crew.
"No, we do this my way. You issued the challenge, the seaman's code of honour dictates the challenged party chooses the place and the means of combat.
I refuse to leave my ship and my crew. Consequently, we do it here. You will be safe aboard this vessel, I am in command and no member of my crew will dare go against a direct order."
Edgar addresses his crew, pointing to the king.
"THIS MAN IS ON THE SHIP UNDER MY AUTHORITY, ANY MEMBER OF MY CREW INTERFERING WITH HIM WILL BE SHOT AND THROWN OVERBOARD."
"We will not, however, be fighting. My injury puts me at a great disadvantage, so we will be engaging in some... Highjinks." this draws some gasps, murmuring, and generally excited babble from his crew.
"SILENCE!" which promptly quietens them.
Edgar starts pointing to various members of his crew.
"YOU! Bring up the barrel.
YOU! A table, three chairs and two mugs.
YOU! a medical kit and tweezers, you will be tending my injury."
He turns to speak to Henry, quietly.
"Find the best medics you can and send them over to the Cappella so they can tend to the injured and get those men out of the water, immediately. When this has been organised, return here; you are my second."
Captain Masters returns his attention to the king, the crew tasked with obtaining the items returning and placing them between the two men.
"You will of course be allowed a second, either from among your own men," he gestures to the Blackhawk. "or from my crew. They understand the rules better than any, and will serve you well.
Speaking of which, the rules! I understand if you've never played before, it is an old seaman's game, so I shall enlighten you, He pries the lid off the barrel, revealing a strong smelling, clear liquid within. "Rum. None of this watered down grog the British Navy give their crew as rations, this is proper, undiluted perfection. The barrel was recently received, and is unaged, hence the clear liquid. Not for the faint of heart, I assure you.
We each have a mug filled by our opponent's second, who will place the mug in front of us. We clink our mugs together, hard enough that liquid from both mugs splashes into the other, then we each drink. Once emptied, we replace the mug on the table open side down. We can't have someone avoid drinking their fill, can we? This continues until you fall out of your chair or your head hits the table.
Given the conditions you applied upon your dashing entrance, the loser of this game will be shot and thrown overboard."
Edgar pulls out the single seat for the king on his side of the table, gesturing for him to sit.
"Do we have an accord?"
Cheat with powers. Alcohol has an analgesic effect, use Revisionist on every mug I receive to turn the contained liquid into water. Any grimaces from pain can be passed off as the crewman tending my injured hand.
Cheat with no powers too! If I'm unable to change the liquid in any particular round, clink the mug harder to slosh more liquid out of my mug, drink messily so I'm consuming less. I am getting drunk after all...

Deathmatch
Part XIII: Highjinks
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
Considering the moments leading up to this moment, it'd seem most reasonable to play along. Kim smiles and nods, saying "Of course. Holmsian. We're immigrants you see and-" and then every militia soldier points their guns at G.o.d, surrounding Kim, Danny, Son, and the still injured Yoon with rifle barrels, SMGs, pistols, whatever else. Luckily, before they can be executed, this fellow in the gas mask whom they were speaking to looks them over. "Civilian garb...but heavily armed...but-" he points to the stocks and grips of each gun, showing the previously unseen insignia of a purple eye behind a magnifying glass, "--our guns? They're not military, stand down!" The militia complies, and the Gas Mask Officer explains "There's a military crackdown going on throughout all Holmsian territory. We don't know if you're one of us or some crafty civilians, or these mysterious "Wiki-Warriors", but you're free to move about." G.o.d complies, and begins moving about the territory, looking for other Wiki-Warriors around. [Spot: 7] [Stealth: 3] They find evidence of one quickly: a man with a yellow LED in his right temple looking into an alley, the shadows on the wall denoting someone within. Unfortunately, he peers back out on guard duty, and the android immediately spots them. "Gary! We have company!" the android shouts.
Right after The King gives his ultimatum, Captain Edgar stands up tall before spitting at his feet, his saliva barely missing the expensive shoes of the intruder. "You fire on my ships and kill my men, then challenge an injured man to a fight to the death? Such a brave man you are, sire," he says, holding up his injured hand as his crew chuckles behind him. The King looks rather unamused , but Edgar presses on. "No, we do this my way. You issued the challenge, the seaman's code of honour dictates the challenged party chooses the place and the means of combat. I refuse to leave my ship and my crew. Consequently, we do it here. You will be safe aboard this vessel, I am in command and no member of my crew will dare go against a direct order," To illustrate the point, he turns to his crew, and points at the King. "THIS MAN IS ON THE SHIP UNDER MY AUTHORITY, ANY MEMBER OF MY CREW INTERFERING WITH HIM WILL BE SHOT AND THROWN OVERBOARD!" he declares, his crew nodding as he continues by saying "We will not, however, be fighting. My injury puts me at a great disadvantage, so we will be engaging in some... Highjinks. This gets the crew quite excited, with gasping, murmuring, and excited whispers all being heard before being silenced with a shout of "SILENCE!" He then begins pointing at crew members, saying "YOU! Bring up the barrel. YOU! A table, three chairs and two mugs. YOU! a medical kit and tweezers, you will be tending my injury," and forcing them to do all of what was ordered. He then beckons Henry closer, and whispers in his ear "Find the best medics you can and send them over to the Cappella so they can tend to the injured and get those men out of the water, immediately. When this has been organised, return here; you are my second." Henry nods and runs off to do what has been asked of him as Captain Masters returns his attention to The King as the table, chairs, and mugs are placed between them. "You will of course be allowed a second, either from among your own men," he says, gesturing to Blackhawk, "or from my crew. They understand the rules better than any, and will serve you well." He then raises a finger, and explains "Speaking of which, the rules! I understand if you've never played before, it is an old seaman's game, so I shall enlighten you," as the crew pries the barrel open, revealing a clear liquid with a strong smell inside. "Rum. None of this watered down grog the British Navy give their crew as rations, this is proper, undiluted perfection. The barrel was recently received, and is un-aged, hence the clear liquid. Not for the faint of heart, I assure you. We each have a mug filled by our opponent's second, who will place the mug in front of us. We clink our mugs together, hard enough that liquid from both mugs splashes into the other, then we each drink. Once emptied, we replace the mug on the table open side down. We can't have someone avoid drinking their fill, can we? This continues until you fall out of your chair or your head hits the table. Given the conditions you applied upon your dashing entrance, the loser of this game will be shot and thrown overboard." He then pulls out a seat for The King, and sits down himself. "Do we have an accord?"
The King nods. "Of course," he says, sitting down. "I don't need to bring in a second, though." Suddenly, telekinetically, Edgar's mug gets lifted up and filled up from the barrel and placed in front of him. Henry returns and fills up The King's mug, and thus, Highjinks begins. [Revisionist: 6] Edgar manages to transform his rum into water, despite a bit of pain which he blows off as part of the healing, and the two clink their mugs before downing the drink. The King takes his drink well, putting it down with Edgar and waiting on a re-fill. "Luckily, I actually do know of this game," The King explains. "I'm actually quite proficient in playing with Rwandan Flower Wine, though," he says as the mugs are placed and Round 2 starts. [Revisionist: 10] He changes his drink perfectly, and, in fact, changes some of the make-up of the rum to have even more alcohol content in the King's mug. When they down their drinks, Edgar sits there smugly as The King pants from the big gulp, his eyes beginning to water and wander as the alcohol begins taking hold.
Super-Sloth wastes no time on a getaway, pulling out a bomb and throwing it at one of the weak walls, automatically blowing a massive hole into it and hopping out. As a precaution, he summons two spiders as he runs [Escape: 4] just in time for Cirno to arrive [Deception: 10-2 (Distance)] and somehow only notices the spiders running off in another direction, which she follows as Super-Sloth hides, camouflaging himself against green bushes.
Gary Richardson, when faced with something he doesn't want (namely, normal-ass mortar shells instead of the chance of devastating chemical warfare), decides to just immediately go for it. He calculates, and fires all three in rapid succession towards the waterfront, hoping to hit one of the three pirate ships. [1 v 7] The first one sails over Edgar and the King, who both wonder aloud what it was [7 v 6] as the other hits the water near the Phoenix and explodes, sending water everywhere. Henry is about to look over when the final one [4 v 5] just barely overshoots. Gary is about to carve more plasma-wielding animal heads when him, Canis, Ratte, and Skorpion are interrupted by a shout from Markus: "Gary! We have company!"
When General Joep van Engelen arrives back in the medical ward, Bobby Johnson tries, one again, to put on the charm. [Charm: 9-1] "General, with all due respect, I am a Warrior. I can't fight like this, but me and my Serbian friend would like to accompany you as you take back the city, as it were." The General sneers for a second, but nods. "In orde," he says, turning back on his heel as the doctors place Bobby in a motorized wheelchair, accessible with only one arm. "Coming, Niko?" he asks, as he watches Niko reload and grab the giant sword. "Don't have much else better to do." In no time, Bobby and Niko are in a humvee with General van Engelen, the wheelchair being brought along in another car, and they drive back to the city [3 v 2] watching as a couple Militia troops are grazed by gunfire, and shoot back, as they head back into civilization.
Emanuel thanks God for the miracle as he picks up the woman, fellow Wiki-Warrior Sarah Caine, and tries his best to run back over to the hospital. [Distance: 7+2 (In a Rush)] Despite being miles away, she still gets rescue as a speeding ambulance comes by the road just in time, grabbing Sarah from Emanuel and loading her up before speeding back off again. Emanuel, satisfied, runs back to aid Cirno.
[Medical: 3] They manage to purge enough poison to move it back to non-lethal levels, [Consciousness: 7] allowing Sarah Caine to wake back up. The poison needs to pass normally, though, and so as she wakes up on a stretcher, she is given a helpful puke bucket.
BSN: YAAARGH!
How nautical. ;D

“As I said, not for the faint of heart. I assume I won’t be breaking any of your conditions by defending my fleet?”
Assuming affirmative:
Captain Masters turns to the crew, still seated.
“What are you all standing about for? Shoot back! There were three shots, I’m sure you can figure out where it came from!”
Continue Highjinks.
Assuming negative:
Edgar shrugs. Not the first time he’s drank his way through a fight.
“I think we had best hurry then. I would much rather my vessels remain sea-worthy when I send you to Davy Jones.”
Continue Highjinks quickly.

Part XIV: Exchange of Rounds
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
Kim wastes no time in striking back once being spotted, as him and his K-Pop group raise their firearms. Gary looks up just in time to see Kim say "RISE!" and raise a hand up, summoning his Ancestral Ghosts once more [Upgrade Chance: 10+2 (Felis's Soul)] now wielding weapons like swords, bows, axes, clubs, and other older weaponry. They charge towards Gary and his allies [9 v 1] stabbing Markus in the stomach. He collapses to the ground, damaged, as blue blood pours on the ground. Skorpion charges forward, gun at the ready [8 v 10] and manages to push aside the ghosts, though he is preoccupied. Canis steps back as he is next [7 v 6-2 (Concussion)] and is quickly slashed in the stomach, causing more pain to flow through him. Ratte and Gary are close enough to be counted as one target [6 v 5] and both are surrounded by a circle of spirits. While all of them are preoccupied, they are also caught in a hail of suppressive fire [10 v 4] which is unfortunate for Skorpion, who raises his Plasma Rifle up and tries to fire only for a bullet to fly into his shoulder, making quite a bit of blood flow out as he lets out a chirp.
However, there is a dilemma named Canis, who looks up in time to see [Spot: 1] that the surviving Ursa and Avem are no where to be seen, apparently having fled to live to fight another day. Canis reaches down and pulls out a grenade, pulling the pin and aiming to throw it [Throw Accuracy: 5-2 (Concussion)] but missing the throw, over-throwing it towards the Militia, who quickly toss it into the street. He raises his M60 and tries to stand up [Suppression: 9 v 6-2] and immediately gets a bullet caught in his slash wound for his troubles. He collapses backwards on the ground, blood pooling onto the grass. Gary keeps by Ratte, and tries to get to a wall to start carving [6 v 6] but is pushed back by the Ancestral Spirits, leaving him stuck in the middle of the alley with no aid-[10 v 2-2] and then Yoon is suddenly shot in between the eyes and killed instantly, splattering the grass and removing a gun. Markus, incapable of feeling pain, stands up and scowls at them.
[Sneak: 6-1] Due to still being frosted and apparently having been running off his limited mobility to flawlessly execute his plan, Super-Sloth immediately comes out of the bushes and looks around for a hospital, unaware that Emanuel has gotten sight of him. [Spot: 5] While he doesn't see one fitting his specification yet, he does find a dead protester and, after stealing his phone and going to Google Maps, he manages to find an abandoned one that's a bit of time away. So, he begins heading towards it, smiling widely.
[+Phone]
Keeping quiet in the passenger seat in the humvee, Bobby Johnson keeps an eye on General van Engelen, making sure he continues the course. So far, though, the mission seems to be as promised, as getting into the city reveals [8 v 4] Sherlock's Eye Militia dying in the streets. Niko keeps an eye out for Wiki-Warriors [Spot: 5] but while he does hear the gunfire in the alleyway courtesy of G.o.d and Markus, he chalks it up to more of the same exchange between the military and the militia, and shrugs as they pass by an Internet cafe.
Edgar follows the missile as he watches it fall into the sea, then raises an eyebrow at the King, enjoying his predicament. "As I said, not for the faint of heart. I assume I won’t be breaking any of your conditions by defending my fleet?" The King shakes his head and says "Nope, constant supply of rum, taking breaks is cheating. If you cheat, you die." With that in mind, Edgar shrugs. After all, this wasn't the first time he drank his way through a fight. "I think we had best hurry then. I would much rather my vessels remain sea-worthy when I send you to Davy Jones." [Revisionist: 6] He once again shifts his rum to water, and once again blames his pain on the medicine, before drinking. The King's status doesn't seem to get more inebriated, but they instantly go for the next round [Revisionist: 7] where he manages to shift the rum without pain. The King is now slurring every word as he comments "Strong stuff." [Composure: 6] He does manage to keep upright, though, if swaying a little.
Sarah Caine wakes up fully in a hospital bed, and immediately downs leaves, curing herself of the poison. She stands up, slotting a new shell into her Shotgun and, still clad in a hospital gown, goes to hide to ambush any attackers. [Stealth: 4] It's very obvious she's just under the hospital bed, but since no one else in coming in the room anyway, it should be fine.
Emanuel breathes a sigh of relief, glad Sarah could reach a hospital in time. He turns around just in time to see an unaware Super-Sloth pocket a phone in his...skin, or something, and walk off. Emanuel shouts out "CIRNO, DEAR!" and manages to catch her attention. Before either of them can leave, though, they hear "VHAT'S UP, BITCHEEEES!" Slowly, they turn around to see the long-forgotten Ercandize, now armed to the teeth with a Shotgun, a Pistol, and a Taser. The Shotgun of which is pointed right at both of them.
The land-crew of Edgar's tries to find the mortar fire [Spot: 8] and manages to find them, popping the flare. [3 v 7] However, the first shot misses by a mile, instead blowing up an apartment literally a mile away from the alleyway. [Spot: 8] The Military, however, can see this, General van Engelen shouting for his soldiers to find whatever asshole just did that in Dutch.
BSN: And there we go. :)

Edgar frowns slightly, wiping his mouth with his sleeve.
"Not strong enough, apparently. I really must insist we end this soon," he gestures toward the shore, "there's a war on, you know."
He points at a crewman nearby.
"You there! Two more mugs, we go double time."
He turns back to the king.
"As before, just two drinks per round. You are free to find another to help you, should you so desire. You're looking a bit peaky, I imagine that will affect your..." he waves vaguely toward the floating mugs, head tilted quizzically to the side.
Continue as before, just twice as much.

Deathmatch
Part XV: The End of Highjinks
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
The minutes shift as the sun finally begins to rise, painting the sky grey as the rain grows.
[Time/Weather Change: Morning, Raining]
Driving along the now busy and blood-filled streets of Almelo, Bobby Jefferson continues to keep on the lookout for the General being turned around from his orders, only to hear encouragement on the radio from some hobo that's apparently the God-Emperor's consort. Satisfied that General van Engelen isn't changing his mind as of yet, he asks "General, any chance you have a field doctor here to help me with this feeling in my head?". [Resources: 9] The General nods and waves for the truck to stop, informing on his radio that a field doctor needs to approach the car. One shows up and opens the passenger's side door, giving him a bottle of water and acetaminophen and just tells him to lay his head back before slamming the door back shut. Meanwhile, Niko looks out the window for more Wiki-Warriors [Search: 7] and sees some green dude walking up the road from a totaled police station, just around the corner from their current position.
Super-Sloth strides up the road and turns the corner, first seeing soldiers and then an entire military convoy. [3+3 (Numbers) v 9] They open fire with assault rifles, but Super-Sloth ducks into an alleyway [Stealth: 8] and manages to hide even as soldiers come in, looking for him.
Despite the death of Yoon, G.o.d pushes forward, still suppressing fire on the main group lead by Gary Richardson. [3+2 (Allies) v 6] They are pinned down, unable to move, save for Markus the Android, who the Ancestral Spirits go over first in retaliation. [5 v 9] They swarm him and try to slash and cut the android, trying to spill more Thirium, but he somehow pushes through without a scratch, moving back into the alley to attack the Ancestral Spirits. [7 v 3] [4 v 8] Meanwhile, Gary himself is stabbed deep in the back while turning to see Markus, forcing him to the ground as Ratte is pinned down. Due to moving, Markus is finally within the line of fire [10 v 10] But right as Danny Ahn fires, Markus turns just in time to dodge and fire back. [10 v 9] Danny is grazed in the shoulder, sending pain through his right arm.
Meanwhile, on the Phoenix, Edgar frowns and wipes away some drink with his arm. Something's wrong. He accidentally tuned out the analgesic. No matter, insisting on Double Time for a good, genuine reason should cover up his increased focus. "Not strong enough, apparently. I really must insist we end this soon," he says, gesturing to the shore. "there's a war on, you know. You there! Two more mugs, we go double time." He points to a crewman, who nods and does as asked. Edgar looks back to the King and says "As before, just two drinks per round. You are free to find another to help you, should you so desire. You're looking a bit peaky, I imagine that will affect your..." gesturing vaguely to a floating mug. The King explains "My Stand, Killer Queen. It's capable of turning anything it touches into a bomb. So, don't lose." [Revisionist: 3] His first mug fails to revise, giving him more grog instead of water. It should dull the pain, hopefully, but it doesn't make it easier. [Deception: 9] The mug-clink, however, is a rousing success, spilling grog without The King noticing. Despite his buzz, he's still in control. [Revisionist: 8+1 (Starting Analgesic)] His next mug, he turns into water, and downs like a champ. [Composure: 1-2 (Inebriation)] The King is unable to continue. He drinks half of the second mug, then just collapses.
Realizing he's outmatched as he tries to rise from the ground, Gary waves his hand and orders a retreat, ordering everyone to open fire. Unfortunately, due to the suppression, it's G.o.d that shoots first. [10 v 4] [6 v 2-2 (Pain)-2 (Concussion] [8 v 3] First, Skorpion tries to use his Plasma Rifle, only to get shot in the chest and stomach. He collapses to the ground. Next is Canis, who is unceremoniously shot in the head and killed instantly. And finally, the helpless medic Ratte in shot in the right leg and stomach, and also falls over from shock. Leaving only Markus and Gary left to actually fight back. [2 v 6] [2 v 6] Unfortunately, they miss, only firing into the ghosts. [Escape: 8+2 (Covered)] Still, it's enough of a distraction for Gary and Markus to escape, with Markus covering Gary and thus firing one more time [10 v 5] right into Kim Tae-woo's side, spilling his blood. Without the adrenaline as they escape onto an open street with no carnage, but a blockade of Sherlock's Eye militia, Gary begins to feel pain.
[Stealth: 7] Sarah Caine slips out of her hospital room, disarmed and re-clothed, and goes off to find food. [Scavenge: 5] She finds some bread on a plate on a wagon to be sent to other patients.
Swallowing from nervousness and raising his hands up, Emanuel tries to convince Ercandize not to shoot, hoping to at least distract him from Cirno. [Convince: 6] "My son, you don't have to kill us. This isn't worth the violence..." he says, distracting Ercandize enough for Cirno to swoop in and try to stop the shotgun from firing. [8 v 3] She freezes the shotgun completely, enraging Ercandize who pulls out his pistol [Speed: 6], only for Cirno to try to freeze it, too. [6 v 6] He moves his hand away from the blast, keeping control of it.
He levels it at Cirno and fires [4 v 1] striking her in the stomach. She sputters before flopping onto the ground, groaning in pain.
Ratte and Skorpion are swarmed by the ghosts [3 v 2-2 (Pain)-3 (Swarmed)] and are slaughtered.
BSN: Sorry! Dropped motivations, just got my writing bug back. Happy July 4th, unless you don't celebrate it (or don't see the country as worth celebrating), in which case just have a good one.

Edgar watches the king slump, finishing the remainder of his mug as he mutters to himself.
“No quarter will be asked...”
“... no quarter shall be given.” Finishes Henry, receiving an appreciative glance from his captain.
“I’m glad you pay attention, Henry.” He says, pushing himself up from the table and walking round it to stand next to his unconscious quarry. He unholsters his weapon and carefully shoots the king in the head in an effort to avoid any splatter.
“Find a crewman you dislike, tell him to seal his majesty in the barrel of rum and throw it overboard. Perhaps he’ll learn to hold his drink in the afterlife. Also, we had some anti-air launchers somewhere, make that...” he gestures to the blackhawk, “... go away, preferably into the sea.
Edgar sniffs and looks out thoughtfully toward the shore. Then he shakes his head.
“This surgical approach is rather boring. Sacking ports is fun and all, but when I arrived here, I felt a strong urge to kill things, so let’s kill everything. Turn the city to rubble, then shoot the rubble until it’s dust. In fact, better idea! Get as many boys together as you can find, get them weapons.

((I had a crewman tending the wound in my right hand during Highjinks, are they just not very good medics or did you forget? :p))
Edgar watches the king slump, finishing the remainder of his mug as he mutters to himself.
“No quarter will be asked...”
“... no quarter shall be given.” Finishes Henry, receiving an appreciative glance from his captain.
“I’m glad you pay attention, Henry.” He says, pushing himself up from the table and walking round it to stand next to his unconscious quarry. He unholsters his weapon and carefully shoots the king in the head in an effort to avoid any splatter.
“Find a crewman you dislike, tell him to seal his majesty in the barrel of rum and throw it overboard. Perhaps he’ll learn to hold his drink in the afterlife. Also, we had some anti-air launchers somewhere, make that...” he gestures to the blackhawk, “... go away, preferably into the sea.
Edgar sniffs and looks out thoughtfully toward the shore. Then he shakes his head.
“This surgical approach is rather boring. Sacking ports is fun and all, but when I arrived here, I felt a strong urge to kill things, so let’s kill everything.

Deathmatch
Part XVI: Burn 'Em Out
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
After the chaos in the alleyway breaks off, leaving several corpses in it's midst, Kim Tae-woo slowly rises from the ground, bleeding from his side once again. He can see it's quite heavily bleeding, to the point of concern. To make things worse, Danny's shoulder is grazed, with a little dribble pouring down. [Medical: 8] Kim rushes to Yoon's side, and tears off strips of clothing from his dead teammate to make bandages. He raises his shirt and bandages his shirt, stemming the worst of the bleeding [Heavy Bleeding --> Light Bleeding] for now. [Medical: 9] A single little bandage around the right arm brings Danny into tip-top shape. With that done, the three surviving members of G.o.d go to sneak into another house [Sneak: 10] and manage to slip past the entire militia and slip into a Militia-run property just like where they grabbed their guns. With the militia in the house gone, what's left is [Scavenge: 3] a single medkit and an extra magazine for each pistol the group has.
Edgar watches dismissively as the King slumps over drunkenly, and finishes off the mug of water as the crewman finally fixes his right hand up and he mutters to himself. "No quarter will be asked..., "And no quarter shall be taken," finishes Henry, earning an appreciative glance from his captain. Standing up, Edgar says "I'm glad you pay attention, Henry," as he walks over to the unconscious King. He unholsters his Webley and carefully aims for the King. [6 v Automatic Failure: Unconscious) One bullet, some blood and brain splattered on the deck, and the King is dead. "Find a crewman you dislike, tell him to seal his majesty in the barrel of rum and throw it overboard. Perhaps he’ll learn to hold his drink in the afterlife. Also, we had some anti-air launchers somewhere, make that..." he says, gesturing to Blackhawk, "... go away, preferably into the sea." [Time: 2] By the time he says that, it's already right on back to the city, a bit far to make an accurate shot. He sighs, and looks out thoughtfully to the shore. But then, he shakes his head, and says "This surgical approach is rather boring. Sacking ports is fun and all, but when I arrived here, I felt a strong urge to kill things, so let’s kill everything. Turn the city to rubble, then shoot the rubble until it’s dust. In fact, better idea! Get as many boys together as you can find, get them weapons. Heck, the boys that took the Elridge, they should still have all that assault gear, send them ashore, they can all shoot the place up while we tear the city down from here. They don’t engage anyone they don’t have to, just burn as many of the buildings down as possible. Skeleton crew on the ships. Good, old-fashioned piratical chaos. They had their chance to give us what we wanted, now it’s time to burn the town down. Move the Capella behind us, we can use it as a medical ship. Keep some guns trained on the shore, in case our boys have some casualties and can’t deal with them via field surgery and need to get to the medical ship." With his orders rattled off, Henry goes to prepare the lifeboats, weapons, and arrangements, leaving Edgar to start Phase One: BURN 'EM OUT. [Revisionist: 1+1 (Lasting Analgesic)] Unfortunately , his first goal of creating incendiaries for his land crew fails as pain spikes through his arm. Gasping and choking on it, he instead goes over to create Incendiary Ammo for the guns of his ships. [6+1-1 (Pain)] He manages to create the incendiaries, only adding a bit more lasting pain as a sacrifice. With that done, he creates the first order: for Almelo to wake up to fire. [Phoenix Accuracy: 6] The Phoenix's incendiaries fire first, bursting fire against his original point, and thus spreading it around the dilapidated ruins of his starting point. Buildings burn, and Militia, Soldiers, and Civilians alike burn. [4 v 8] The house G.o.d is in [9 v 8] and the street Gary and Markus are on don't get sustained fire damage. [Elridge Accuracy: 6] The Elridge's guns instead fire up north, by a police station. [2 v 4] Emanuel, Cirno, and Ercandize are safe as the police station and surrounding parking lot blow up and burn. [6 v 10] Super-Sloth is also safe, ducking into a covered alley just in time for the flames to burn the rooftops of buildings. [4 v 9] And finally, the military ducks and covers at those bombs.
As bombs burst above his head, setting the buildings around him ablaze, Super-Sloth tries his best to get as far away from the soldiers as he can. [Stealth: 2] Unfortunately, right as he stands up, soldiers shout out his location, forcing him to act. [2 v 5] [1 v 10] He throws a bomb at the soldiers, and misses them, and then goes to throw another one, only for it to be shot down in the air, sending a poisonous puff of smog through the wind as that soldier counterattacks. [1 v 1] However, that soldier is then caught in the poisoned gas, taking a full dose and thus immediately beginning to vomit up blood as Super-Sloth [Escape: 4] goes on the run, chased by soldiers. [Spot: 9] He manages to find Ercandize by the burning rubble of the police station, still pointing a gun at a priest and what looks like a dying fairy.
Despite what the earlier report said, the first even being a single notch close is spelling disaster for Gary and Markus. While they aren't "in danger", homes and people are still burning around them and they are right in the splash zone. Holding his gun in a ready position, Markus leads the way as the two head out far to find safety [Spot: 6] and manage to find a simple little convenience store, closed for the night. They head in to the dark, empty store, not having gone far enough as they can still see places burning out the window. But it's far from G.o.d, so it counts. With that done, Gary goes in to create a new field medic with an animal's head. [Carving: 3+2] He manages to create a new medic, a deer-headed man named Il Cervo. Unfortunately, he's only a good biological medic, thus leaving Markus to still spill Thirium as he works on Gary. [Medicine: 10] But what a doctor he is. He bandages up Gary's back, and shoots him with painkillers to keep him up and running [No Pain Debuffs For Three Turns.]
Niko hops right out of the humvee and follows a squad in [6 v 1] but the poison from the bomb covers the alley, and Niko is unable to avoid it with just a hand over his nose and mouth. He is left retching and wheezing on the ground, clearly heavily ill. [Medicine: 10] And then, he suddenly gets right back up, shaking on his feet but running off sheer adrenaline as he suddenly chases down Super-Sloth, climbing the fence before even the soldiers can. He runs onto the street, catching Super-Sloth in a mad sprint [Chase: 3+2 (Adrenaline) v 8] and running at him. However, Super-Sloth is running too fast, and is right by the parking lot when Niko feels the effects of the poison catch up with him. In his last moments of health, he stops running, and pulls out his Glock, firing it at Super-Sloth. [4 v 6] He narrowly misses, and Super-Sloth is able to get right into the parking lot as Niko succumbs to the poison, and falls over unconscious.
Emanuel is torn at a crossroads, but before he can do anything, the police station and parking lot suddenly erupt in fire and explosions. He picks up Cirno and bolts it, but doesn't make it far before he sees Super-Sloth running right for them. [Escape: 6] He runs for cover, managing to get behind an undetonated police car [1 v 7+2 (Cover)] right as Ercandize fires and Super-Sloth runs in. Due to being distracted, Ercandize is suddenly assaulted by the soldiers [7 v 5-2 (Distraction)] and suddenly catches two rounds in the stomach and right arm, making him fall to his knees.
Said soldiers then fire on Super-Sloth [6 v 2] and one shoots him right through his kneecap, sending the figment of one Isaac's imagination to the ground. [-1 Mobility]. They then run up to try and grab Super-Sloth [5 v 8-1], but are pushed aside.
BSN: I am so sorry for any mistakes! There are some rulings where I wasn't sure where to go with them. I hope I didn't mess anything up.

Also you forgot to give me good rolls. Damn son :p))
Captain Masters sniffs at the lack of damage the incendiary shells did.
“Probably not the best idea to start a fire in the rain,” he turns to Henry, “I’m thinking we go back to doing things the old-fashioned way. I’m also thinking I... we need to get a bit closer to the action.” Henry’s eyes light up for a moment, as he cocks his head slightly.
“But captain, someone needs to remain with the flee-“ he begins, before being cut off.
“I need you with me, friend. We’ll leave enough crew on the ships to keep the authorities on their toes, but I need to be in the thick of battle. We have enough supplies on the ship to gear up and go ashore, continue the mayhem on land. We gave them plenty of opportunity to give us what we wanted. I want this city to be nothing but a hole in the ground when we’re done.”
Take whatever crew is left butleave enough to man the guns and protect the ship from air threats. The gunners should maintain fire on the town.
Scavenge the ships for small, bottle-like containers, materials for fuses, and most importantly, gunpowder and alcohol/flammable liquids. Make as many grenades and Molotov cocktails as we can carry comfortably, and also find some flares, radios to communicate with the ship and any other crew on land/if we split up, and enough firearms of whatever variety we can find to arm the crew. Find medical supplies too, look for painkillers to kill the pain in muh arm.
We are going to go ashore, going building to building, looking to find more weapons and materials for explosives, as well as any other useful resources (rope or the like, small metal things to add to the explosives for unpleasantness, painkillers) to use in our effort against Almelmo, the authorities, and the rest of the wiki-warriors. Set fire to everything, blow up everything we can’t.
Also, reload my gun, 6/6 and 11 bullets in reserve.

Part XVII: Links 2 3 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph-CA_tu5KA)
Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
With the meager supplies presented to the G.o.d band, a single medkit and some magazines, if you'll recall, you'd think they'd be shit out of luck. But luckily, they do have a bit of luck on their side, as the medkit does still have supplies inside of it. Only a few real bandages, sure. But enough. [Medical: 7] Kim and Danny replaces their bandages no problem. They reload their weapons and collect the pistol magazines, before heading out the front door of the house. Fire surrounds them as people burn. Some walk like nothing happened before collapsing dead, their nerves shot from the flames. [Spot: 4-2 (Smoke and Flame)] They look around for an indication as to where Gary and Markus went, but with the smoke and flames everywhere, their vision is heavily obscured.
On his ship, Captain Masters sniffs in disapproval at the lack of damage. "Probably not the best idea to start a fire in the rain," he muses, slotting another round into his Webley before slipping it back into his coat. He looks over to Henry. "I’m thinking we go back to doing things the old-fashioned way. I’m also thinking I... we need to get a bit closer to the action," he says, which makes Henry's eyes widen. He cocks in head in uncertainty, responding "But, Captain, I-I mean, all due respect, but someone needs to stay with the flee-" Edgar Masters cuts him off with a hand raised up to say 'stop", before saying "I need you with me, friend. We’ll leave enough crew on the ships to keep the authorities on their toes, but I need to be in the thick of battle. We have enough supplies on the ship to gear up and go ashore, continue the mayhem on land. We gave them plenty of opportunity to give us what we wanted. I want this city to be nothing but a hole in the ground when we’re done." Henry salutes as he goes to take on as much able-bodied crew as is necessary. Eventually, he comes back with a group only twenty-five strong. "W-Well, see, our ships have a hundred, if not over a hundred cannons each. Two-hundred, one for both battle-ready boat. Makes sense to me. T-Though, there is the Elridge Boarding Party we forgot to count." [Time: 7] They come out after, still armed with shotguns, gas grenades, and pipebombs. Twenty-five of them in total, creating an army of fifty, plus Edgar and Henry. With that done, Edgar goes scavenging for whatever he can find. [Scavenge: 7] He finds small bottles, fuse materials, and enough flammable material to make bombs and molotov cocktails. [Crafting: 9-2 and 2-2 (Pain)] He manages to use Revisionist to speed up the process, creating two bombs per every one of his fifty-two man strong squad: one-hundred and four bombs. Unfortunately, the pain is catching up to him, and he is unable to make even a single molotov cocktail before he is called down to the deck for distribution. He hands out two bombs each and heads back down to grab flares, radios, and then firearms. [Scavenge: 10 and 7] Thanks to the pain in his arm not affecting his eyes, he finds enough flares and personal radios to go around (and if he can't, he makes them outright), and while he doesn't find anything more advanced than muskets and flintlocks, he finds enough to outfit the twenty-five men in his squad who are unarmed. Finally, he searches for medical supplies [Scavenge: 4] but can only find a single roll of bandages, and some painkillers, which he downs to end his pain. With that done, they all get in a boat, and drop down, sailing to the beach.
Sarah Caine looks out the window of her hospital room, only now noticing it was the same one that was bombed as smoke is wafted out the windows. She looks around for a Wiki-Warrior to shoot in the back [Spot: 10] and sees them all. Super-Sloth, Emanuel Carvalho, and their respective allies very close by in the police station, the military excursion, G.o.d in the streets, the convenience store Gary, Markus, and Il Cervo are in, and a whole squad of pirates and privateers moving in near where this all started. Using her brain, she determines that G.o.d is the most vulnerable, and heads out [Building Condition: 1] just as the building finally begins to collapse and crumble in on itself. [Safety: 4-2 (Total Destruction)] She's unable to get into cover in time, and so is enveloped by debris, [Injuries: 3+2 (Total Collapse)] Once it's all said and done, she is still alive. But her right leg is broken at the knee, and she's covered in scrapes, bruises, and cuts. [Strength: 5] She crawls out from the rubble, coughing as she is surrounded by bodies.
Il Cervo decides to just bandage up Markus, hoping for the best on that front. [Medical: 3] It's...not much, all things considered, but he's bleeding less and that's gotta be worth something. With that done, Gary's first course of action is to craft a gun for Il Cervo, something small and simple since he's not a front-line fighter. [Carving: 1+2] Unfortunately, this carving falls flat. He tries to carve a meticulous Glock, but it just shakes too much and the whole carving remains just that: a carving. Useless. In his frustration, Gary goes for his biggest project yet. [Carving: 4+2] While he intends to build a nuke, he doesn't quite get that. Instead, what pops out is just a big bomb. But still, especially with the added hand detonator and dead man's switch, it's still a big bomb. With that much done, he goes to craft more animal headed soldiers, but his time for now is up: the bomb was big enough to take up most of his focus.
In his own frustration, Super-Sloth decides to go all out in his escape attempt. He chucks down two bombs and makes a break for it [5-1 v 9] luckily escaping detonation as the first one is kicked away, blowing up in the blazing inferno. [9 v 5] The second one, however, is tossed away too late, and blows up one soldier into gore and giblets, leaving two others left to keep chasing Super-Sloth. Super-Sloth then presses a hand down, releasing two spiders [6 v 10] [6 v 8], the first one of which is stomped on and killed. The second simple can't reach the soldiers. [1 v 3] Gunshots ring out from behind as Ercandize misses his shot.
Bobby takes a drink of water to recover as he waits for Niko. [Medical: 6] Niko retches weakly and gets up, limping back to the military, where he is carried off to be healed of the poison.
Surrounded by flame and gunshots, Emanuel keeps hiding with the bleeding Cirno behind a car. He was rather surprised a simple fairy could survive a shot like that without dying, but still aimed to try and help her, at least stopping the bleeding. [Medical: 7] Emanuel tears off a bit of his robe to use as bandages, and wraps them around her mid-section, applying pressure each time. She's still not well, but she manages to weakly raise a hand and fire two ice blasts at both her attackers anyway. [10 v 10] [10 v 4-1] She first goes for Ercandize, but misses the shot totally. She does, however, freeze Super-Sloth completely, encasing him in ice. The adrenaline of her anger wears off, and she goes limp, breathing shallowly.
[2 v 10] The soldiers whirl around to execute Ercandize, only for him to suddenly get a second wind and shoot back [1 v 10] only to immediately [8+2 v 5] be shot down, going into shock and falling unconscious. They collect the frozen Super-Sloth, and nod to someone they know is affiliated with the goverment, Emanuel.
BSN: Going a bit more old-school from now on. Actually thinking of details and putting time and effort into the game, and going with my gut on rolls and rulings. Thanks for putting up with this so far, hopefully the new, looser direction works as well as it did in Cataclysm.

Edgar mutters quietly to himself.
“A halfway decent port authority should have an armory near shore, for security if nothing else... hopefully they like to outfit soldiers there...”
Look for a building near shore that has weaponry. Send in the soldiers with shotguns and such first, so as to put fewer troops with less-than-ideal weaponry in the firing line before they’re ready. Get everyone else into cover - both from the building and other streets - before shots are fired; standing out in the open in a warzone is a foolish idea.
Assuming this goes well, look for guns and more boom booms. Also search for more medical supplies, just in case.

If it fails, use Heaven's Door on him and get him to agree with my point of view on this.

Almelo, Twente, Eastern Netherlands in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almelo)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
Encased in a frosted tomb of ice, the formerly energetic Super-Sloth is dragged away by soldiers, ice scraping against the asphalt of a burning parking lot. Rather than trying to escape, knowing it useless with his lack of mobility and his being surrounded by soldiers and at least one Wiki-Warrior, he instead decides to use what little control over his mouth there is to shout incoherent Communist threats. [Speech: 9-2 (Encased in Ice)-2 (Deliberately Gibberish)] What comes out is a garble of "EQUALITY" and "SOVIET" before it dissolves into a strange gibberish that is impossible to distinguish. As he is dragged towards the stopped convoy, he looks towards Ercandize, who bleeds out and dies back at the parking lot.
Surrounded by fire and flames, the pop band G.o.d still can't see much, but if they stay lower to the ground, it'll prevent a sneak attack and get their oxygen ever so slightly clearer. [Spot: 3] From what they can see just in front of them, there is one bit of usable cover: a cop car stopped just outside of the fire. They rush towards it and get behind it [+2 Defense (Cover)] before taking advantage of being out of the fire to take a better look. [Spot: 1] Unfortunately, Kim trips over his own feet and falls over, firing his gun into the air, alerting Gary, Markus, and Il Cervo! In addition, [Misfire: 5] the bullet just strikes the cop car, but at such an angle that Markus can tell they're somewhere by it. With that idiocy done, G.o.d looks for a trail to try and regain the upper-hand [Spot: 5], and Son Ho-young finds a trail of Thirium, spilled as blood by the android...and it's leading to the convenience store...where said android is looking for them at the cop car. [Spot: 5+2 (Alerted)] And then Markus flat out sees them.
"The K-Pop group is back," Markus explains calmly, looking back to Gary and Il Cervo. "We need to act fast, they'll be on us in just a few seconds." Gary nods, and restarts his bid to create a gun for Il Cervo. [Carving: 4+2-2 (Time Crunch)] Under his severe time crunch, he makes a simple one shot Derringer. Only one bullet, and super-small. But compact. Under his time crunch, Gary only has time for one last Carving attempt on an ally, [Carving: 8+2-2] and it works out. Popping out from the wall stands an average looking human female, save for her head which is that of a Lioness. Thus, in keeping with the Italian Il Cervo, the militia woman is named Leonessa. The quality of the carving gave her the exact weapon needed for the job: a Plasma Rifle with a simple scope on it.
The pirate crew, lead by Captain Edgar Masters and First Mate Henry Larson and surrounded by fifty of their best men, make it to shore. Stepping out on the sands for the first time since the battle began, the good Captain tells his crew "First order of business, finding something a bit more useful than muskets and flintlocks. Then chaos!", before muttering to himself "A halfway decent port authority should have an armory near shore, for security if nothing else... hopefully they like to outfit soldiers there..." [Spot: 7+3 (52 Pairs of Eyes on Deck)] They find what looks to be a dockside military operation, noticeably barren due to the fighting. Other than a few stragglers, what's inside should be easy to grab, if counterbalanced by there not being too much. [Knowledge: 7] But, wait, Almelo is actually not near the ocean. And based on casual observation of the Elridge's GPS...this isn't Almelo on it's own at all. "Almelo" is a name given to the capital, but the capital's switched. They're not in Twente, which is in Overijssel. They are actually in...the city of Almere, in the province of Flevoland. [Location Changed Accordingly: "Almelo", Formerly Almere, Flevoland in the Holmsian Empire] Huh. Well, that aside, they move in to seize. The twenty-five shotgunners go in and breach as everyone else takes cover. [7 v 9] They are, however, met with resistance. Light though it may have seemed, an assault rifler still fires, keeping them at bay.
Thanks to her survival and (relatively) minor injuries compared to the [Health: 3] dead or critically wounded hospital staff, Sarah Caine tries to quietly crawl her way out of the rubble. [Stealth: 9] As she had already crawled out from under it, she quietly crawls to a trashcan, looking for some food. [Spot: 10] She finds...an unopened, perfectly good bag of food from a Dutch fast food restaurant: consisting of french fries, and a frikandel, a type of mince-meat sausage. She eats the frikandel, and her leg snaps back into place, allowing her to walk again.
As Bobby Johnson watches the still shouting Super-Sloth get loaded as basically an ice sculpture into the back of a jeep, a thought occurs to him. There was another Wiki-Warrior, he knows this. That kind of fighting wouldn't have happened without it, and he figures it's the priest. Leaning in close to the general's ear, he whispers "You know, this Emanuel guy is trying to get the Great Emperor to soften his control over the people, and maybe even abdicate and surrender to the nations fighting against us. If he does, what would happen to you? You will die in prison. As an enemy. As a traitor. And this great nation will fall to be a mere footnote of history, the Empire started by a madman. Won't it be great for this glorious Empire if this one man who would lead it to destruction would have just an unfortunate accident while we take back the city, returning the stability of this great empire? Just...one troop that didn't recognize him fast enough?" [Convince: 7+2 (Politics)] General van Engelen looks rather convinced by the words. He moves and takes the radio, saying "Emanuel is uitschot. Dood hem. Dood hem nu!"
Looking down disappointingly at the dead body of Ercandize, a soft frown over his features, Emanuel sighs. He was hopeful to have kept him alive. But, a Wiki-Warrior was indeed disabled. For now. The ice was weak enough that he could break out if he wanted to, given his companion's condition. Speaking of which, he picks Cirno up, cradling her in his arms as he walks over to the convoy, shouting out "I am an ally! I mean you no harm!" Which seems to work, as a medic comes over, and takes Cirno from his hands. But suddenly, through an intercom in one of the jeeps, Emanuel hears "Emanuel is uitschot. Dood hem. Dood hem nu!" Emanuel, not speaking a word of Dutch, asks "My child, is that a good thing?" [2+2 (Surprise Attack) v 9] The medic, looking back over and speaking in British-accented English, nods and says "Yes...for one of us." He suddenly pulls out his service pistol and fires, but a quick hand from Emanuel pushes the arm out of the way just in time as the bullet hits glass. Cirno yelps from inside a makeshift medical as Emanuel pushes the medic back [1 v 9] so weakly that the medic shoves him off and fires again. [10 v 2] The bullet strikes right through Emanuel's chest, a flow of blood leaking onto his robes as he collapses to his knees, breathing heavily.
The General, Joep van Engelen, walks out of the jeep and up to the injured Emanuel with a sneer. Emanuel coughs and asks "W-...Why? Why, my child?" General van Engelen pulls out his service pistol, a nickel-plated Walther P99, and points it at Emanuel. "Glory to Holmes." [9+2 (Point Blank) v 1-2 (Injured - Pain and Position)] Emanuel looks to the screaming Cirno, held down on the ground by the traitorous medic and the Serbian close to one of his other competitors. Emanuel sheds a tear, and with a single bullet to the skull, feels nothing but hope that she will live.
Emanuel was executed via treason! Bobby Johnson gets:
https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Dolphin: +Ability: Block Dolphin Shifting
As he feels a new power building up inside, Bobby looks over to see the medic...actually healing Cirno, despite her cries and attempts to flee. General van Engelen returns to the car, and just says "No master, no worry."
The three people still inside the dockside base fire back on the squad of twenty-five. [9 v 5+2 (Numbers Advantage)] Despite the heavy numbers advantage, one man on the side of the Pirates actually gets shot in the throat, and slowly dies of blood-loss.
[8 v 10] While the War is evenly contested, the Holmsian Empire is slowly racking up more of a body count.
BSN: Wow. Caring has caused a lot of interesting side-effects!
Retconning the location so it's actually by the sea, a player actually dies, tighter and, well, more writing. Decent calls. It's quite refreshing after the lull I was in while starting the game up again. :)

As we’re in a building in which we expect to find military supplies, look for ballistic shields for my men to use. Failing that, use Revisionist on the door, try to turn it into one. Order the strongest men to carry them, keeping low enough to avoid injury to themselves.
Failing both, order a flanking maneuver around the building by the sneakiest of my crew, while maintaining our current assault.

Deathmatch
Part XIX: The Holy Shit Quotient
"Almelo", Formerly Almere, Flevoland in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almere)
Early Morning, Drizzle, 11/14/2020
Now spotted from behind the cop car, almost covered by the thick black smoke and angry orange flames save for an Android's clever eye, G.O.D acts fast. With the deaths of Ratte and Skorpion, the Ancestors harvest the souls for new upgrades [5] and manage to get slightly better melee weapons and armor, and their numbers grow. With that done, they charge! [9 v 7] While many stay back to cover the exits they can find, a few burst through the window to attack the group of Wiki-Warriors, starting in the specified order with Markus. [10 v 10] Once again, however, an Android with no pain also has no hesitation. Despite their harvests, Markus still fights back against the Ghosts with no injury. [6 v 5] Leonessa isn't so lucky as to have no wounds, but the slashes of swords and axes only manage shallow cuts on her arms, at best. [10 v 2] Gary Richardson himself, however, is not so fortunate. He is slashed across the stomach, and while he is sent reeling, is impaled through the chest from the back. He groans in pain [Medical: 3-2 (Accumulated Injuries)] and slumps to the ground, slowly dying...but not before he trips the Dead Man's Switch. [Perception: 7] One of the ancestors notices the Dead Man's Switch and yells out "Josimhae!", giving G.O.D the chance to escape.
[Escape: 5-3 (Bomb the Size of a City Block] The K-Pop band books it out of there just as the bomb detonates. Unfortunately, due to it's size, their survival varies. Danny, lagging behind, is immediately killed when he is engulfed in the fire and shockwave of the blast. [Son: 1-3] Son is also killed instantly, Kim seeing his arm blown off before his body simply flops over dead. [Kim: 1-2] And finally, Kim himself is killed in the blast, blown away action-movie style by the blast. He slams into a building at high speed, and his bones and organs smash to pieces. The last thing he can comprehend as a final thought is the deceptively cheery sky as the rain begins to dissipate.
Gary Richardson has killed himself, Kim, Markus, and their respective allies! Gary gets...oh...wait a minute, right.
Giving a sympathetic look over to his fallen ally, Captain Edgar sighs. "I rather liked Charles," he simply says, directing someone to carry him out of the building to give him a proper resting place. Quickly, he comes up with a plan. Looking around, he tries to see if there are any ballistic shields on the premises. [Spot: 4] Unfortunately, it seems they were taken by the main infantry force for obvious reasons. Failing that, Edgar moves up to the door, and uses his Virus on it. [Revisionist: 2] His arm lights up in pain as he tries, and fails, to do so. With that failed, he next orders a flank with a series of hand signals, while still ordering an assault. [Sneak: 4] While about five do manage to successfully escape under the guise of retreat, two more with them are quickly killed with bullets to the head and chest as soon as they get up. [Stealth: 9] Luckily, the other five manage to successfully flank [8+2 (Flanking) v 4] and with a few blasts from some shotguns, the three within the building are killed. Victory for the pirates. The remaining assault rifles and pistols, mixed between American, British, and German arms, are distributed among the boarding party. [Spot: 3] Unfortunately, no more grenades.
Still stuck in the ice behind two (most likely very annoyed) soldiers in a jeep, Super-Sloth switches from Gibberish to English in an attempt to shout enough threats to tune out the sounds of his escape plan. [Distraction: 8-2] It works as a distraction, but it's clear that they are quickly getting annoyed. If he fails, they'll likely snap. [Escape: 2+2 (Distracted)] He manages to bust an arm out, but that's all before one turns around and punches the sculpture of him out of the jeep, leaving him in the open.
And to make matters worse, here comes the Serbian, Niko Bellic, walking up with his Glock in hand, ready to finish the job. He points the gun at Super-Sloth, his face set stone-cold...[3+2 (Element of Surprise) v 3] And then suddenly, a shard of ice impales Niko through the back and out of his stomach, sending him reeling. It's Cirno, wanting revenge. [Escape: 9] She flies off before the military can shoot her down, shooting Ice at General van Engelen in the process. [5 v 1] It stabs him right through the elbow, rendering his right arm useless and dangling limply as she flies off.
Sarah Caine begins marching over to where G.o.d was [Time: 4], only to make it just in time to see the whole block explode. She is luckily just shy of the blast radius, but the sound of it makes her ears ring loudly. Groaning, she goes instead to another Wiki-Warrior [3], Bobby Jefferson. Once she makes it to the sight, she's confronted by an entire military convoy. If she really wants to snap his neck, she'd have to sneak past the whole Military. [5-3 (The Whole Military)] She moves in from behind, only to get instantly spotted by a soldier, who points a gun right at her.

And I'M BACK! Woo! Sorry for the delay! Interpersonal drama, other projects, whole shebang. I got glasses!

"Well then, let's get to it! Head toward the explosion, but lets loot then burn all the buildings between here and there. We deserve to have a little fun, don't we?" he says, to some scattered cheers from his men.
Head toward in the direction of the massive explosion, loot the buildings for any weapons and material, hopefully of the explosive/burny variety. Once we're done searching them, set them alight!

A gun being pointed at you is never a good sign. Danger in the form of a single cylinder. Sarah Caine jumps at the sight, and runs for the nearest bulletproof object in sight [Spot: 10] which happens to be the side of a tank. "Look, Wiki-Warrior, I will have your back if you've got mine. If we team up, we can kill the Others more easily!" she pleads while running. To her dismay, he responds, instantly, "I don't need your help, Wiki-Warrior. Death will come to you all!". And like that, the soldier opens fire [8 v 1+3 (Bulletproof)], the bullet smacking into the back of her left calf. She makes it behind the tank [Distraction: 1] only to find more soldiers pointing guns at her.
With all the distractions in place, Super-Sloth continues trying to break free, removing his own lack of mobility with his free hand. [Escape: 2+2] He manages to get his good leg free, and he begins to crawl away with it, out of sight. [Escape: 7] And he manages it! The military isn't looking as he manages to use his free limbs to crawl into an alleyway. But...wait a minute, wasn't there someone non-military in the area?
Looking back at his upgraded crew, his pirate squaddies packing modern rifles into the ultimate anachronism besides a caveman with a nuke, Captain Edgar smiles widely. He throws his arms out in celebration, and warmly says "Well then, let's get to it! Head toward the explosion, but lets loot then burn all the buildings between here and there. We deserve to have a little fun, don't we?" In response, his squad cheers in delight, eager to pillage. With that, they begin making their way to the blown-up block. As they go over, they begin piling in through buildings [Spot: 7], grabbing more ammo, lighters, wood, etc. They grab supplies by the dozen, and lay them out in each house. As they trek, they burn, forcing the militia into the open to be gunned down by the military. It's a gruesome, barbaric act of violence, but it's one that matches the modus operandi. All burn.
Suddenly, Super-Sloth's escape is blocked off by a foot landing on his ice sculpture. It's the still bleeding, obviously in pain Niko Bellic, and he's pointing a gun right at Super-Sloth. [9 v 3-1 (Mobility)] Niko fires into Super-Sloth's head, but the ice stops it before it penetrates the brain. It still hits, and destroys the nose. Still, Niko can't tell. Thinking he's dead, he walks off to go get healed. Meanwhile, a medic goes over to help General van Engelen [Medical: 8] and he pulls him out of the car, going over. From his diagnosis, there's little choice but amputation. The General shouts to get the convoy moving out to the large explosion, and Niko and the General are left behind.
[10 v 2-2 (Numbers Disadvantage)] With the tank moving out of the way, and a large number of soldiers pointing guns, the natural end result occurs. Sarah stands up and goes to run, only to feel multiple impacts into her back. Like small, heavily concentrated punches. Coupled with the bangs, it's not hard to tell what happened. Sarah collapses, and quickly bleeds out, dying.
The Military has rejected mercy on Bobby's behalf! Bobby Johnson gets:

Suddenly, in Bobby's possession, are five bronze ingots. Neat!

With no allies in sight besides the faceless mooks and rank and file soldiers of the Mycroft Holmes' military force, Bobby Johnson assumes command himself. A crippled commander, Bobby leans back in his seat and yells out "No point in letting those pirates organize an assault, charge!", which the military complies with...just as the radio buzzes, the Emperor himself calling in with "DID YOU ACTUALLY SHOOT DOWN MY OWN GODDAMN WARRIOR?!" [Intervention: 3] Luckily, Sherlock's Eye, the militia force attacking the military, is pushed back enough that the actual convoy makes it down to the shore. Tanks, jeeps, helicopters, and armed legion aplenty line the beaches, scouring around in wait for the pirates as Bobby gets a violent tongue-lashing from Mycroft Holmes.
[Auto-Success] With all the structural integrity collapsing in on itself with numerous breaks, and a single bullet, the once-again noseless Super-Sloth, who apparently never had one, just roll with it, gets free. His face is bleeding and busted open, he's cold, and he's still kneecapped in one leg. But he's free. His first stop on his journey is to go find a gun, and luckily, he doesn't actually have to look. Sarah Caine's corpse still has her Single Shotgun and rusted over missile launcher. He just has to get over there while avoiding the squad helping General van Engelen and Niko Bellic. [Stealth: 10] Somehow, despite being green and coming from the alleyway where the green dude who was previously frozen was shot in the face, he simply walks over to her corpse with no trouble. Seems some of them are preoccupied with bandaging people up or amputating. He grabs the shotgun, missile launcher, and associated ammo, before just walking off once again.
[Spot: 9] The well has run nowhere near dry yet, as the Pirate Squad continues looting and pillaging, gathering even more ammo and starting even more fires. Militia, military, and civilian alike burn alive as they walk off with three more magazines in every gun. While doing so, Edgar uses his radio to contact the crew he left behind to ask for a status report, where they have...troubling news. "Cap'n," says the operator on the other end, fresh meat without his sea legs, "On the shore, there's a full military presence. Soldiers, tanks, jeeps, helicopters. Technicals. They're waitin' for ye. Seems the King's death didn't stop 'em. Are ye gonna come back and take care of these scallywags?"

“Who taught you how to give a status report? Details, man! It does me no good to know they have a full presence, I want to know what you can see and how many whats there are! Report back as soon as possible, else I’ll keelhaul you so quick you could make bags from your chunks! I’ll even do it the long way if I have to! Get those lookouts counting! Make sure the anti-air gunners keep their eyes on those helicopters too, they’re the biggest problem for you right now. One more thing! Look for a commander of some sort. One of the people we’re looking for is quite the little weasel, it wouldn’t surprise me if he were around the leader of these reprobates... now get to it, double time!”
He clicks off the radio. Discipline was easy enough, just scare the crew into thinking what his captain could do was worse than the enemy. It meant he had to be a little more generous with the booty, but it was better than having a crew of incompetents.
While waiting for his more detailed report, he clicks his fingers and points at one of the crew nearby.
“You there! Find me a map of the harbour. Doesn’t have to be detailed, just enough to see streets leading back to the docks, and the buildings around it.”
Once the crewman on the ship has reported back, and the crewman on land has hopefully found a map, try to get in touch with the army, while attempting to mislead them into thinking I’m still on the ship:
“I see you’ve brought me some new toys to blow up. I appreciate the gesture, but I’m not particularly interested in playing with you right now. There are people I’m looking for, see, and I’d much rather deal with them and go on my merry way than bother you any longer. The people I’m looking for are:” Give a description of the Wiki-Warriors and their allies “Do any of them sound familiar? If so, feel free to shoot them. If you’re not interested in doing the deed yourself, tie them up and send them over to my fleet, I’m more than happy to do you a favour here. Once they’re dead or in my possession over here, I’ll bugger off.”
While this is being dealt with, the land crew will make their way toward the docks, continuing their looting for useful materials, but with a less pyromaniac mindset. I’ll use Revisionist to line the streets leading away from the harbour/docks with anti-vehicle mines, and use the map to order the crew to erect flaming barricade on surrounding streets in order to funnel enemy personnel toward the best-placed buildings to use as ambush spots, which we will attempt to fortify. We will also have laid anti-personnel traps along these streets out of the various explosives and materials we’ve got our hands on in our escapades, though keep enough on hand to use ourselves. Also mark on the map what’s on fire, lest we accidentally trap ourselves.

Morning, Cloudy, 11/14/2020
With his survival back on track, weapons procured, and his nose still blown open, Super-Sloth snickers as he returns the alleyway, but then pauses. He thinks up his next move, and determines that a hospital, preferably an abandoned one, would be perfect. [Spot/Mobility: 10/7-1] He ducks through the alleyway, stings of pain spiking from the wound in his knee, until he finds the hospital Sarah Caine was in earlier, bombed out by the pirates. Without the adrenaline rush she was in, he sees that some parts of it are still intact, and would house supplies or a hideaway. And it's plenty abandoned, the only people still there being dead bodies. It'll take him a little bit to get there, so he needs to think about what he's grabbing.
Edgar frowns at the radio, his hand clenching and tightly gripping it in a haze of smoldering anger, and with an edge in his voice says "Who taught you how to give a status report? Details, man! It does me no good to know they have a full presence, I want to know what you can see and how many whats there are! Report back as soon as possible, else I’ll keelhaul you so quick you could make bags from your chunks! I’ll even do it the long way if I have to! Get those lookouts counting! Make sure the anti-air gunners keep their eyes on those helicopters too, they’re the biggest problem for you right now. One more thing! Look for a commander of some sort. One of the people we’re looking for is quite the little weasel, it wouldn’t surprise me if he were around the leader of these reprobates... now get to it, double time!He clicks off the radio. Discipline was easy enough, just scare the crew into thinking what his captain could do was worse than the enemy. It meant he had to be a little more generous with the booty, but it was better than having a crew of incompetents. While waiting for his more detailed report, he clicks his fingers and points at one of the crew nearby. "You there! Find me a map of the harbour. Doesn’t have to be detailed, just enough to see streets leading back to the docks, and the buildings around it." [Lookout: 9] Firstly, the ship crew responds. "Five-hundred infantry, five technicals, three normal jeeps, two tanks, and two helicopters. Arsenal varies, cap'n. Can't get a good bead on what kinda rifle they're holdin'." [Spot: 7] As well, the man on land hands Edgar a map. Well, of sorts. It's a tablet with Google Maps pulled up, but it's a start.
With the map secure, Edgar grabs the radio and tunes the frequency on a military channel, since he's actually a Privateer and thus technically considered British military, which this unit is a branch-off from. "I see you’ve brought me some new toys to blow up. I appreciate the gesture, but I’m not particularly interested in playing with you right now. There are people I’m looking for, see, and I’d much rather deal with them and go on my merry way than bother you any longer. The people I’m looking for are: a green man, a politician, a rockstar, a wasteland lass, a priest, a Korean, a Demon-user, some boring guy with carvin' tools, and an insane man who liked to combine things?" He then hears a bombshell before he can speak again: "They're all dead, terrorist. All except for the politician. Our ally." While doing that, he and the crew get to work. [Five Rolls, Parallel to Plan: 9/6/7/3/1] The looting goes swimmingly, collecting more and more resources even as houses don't burn. Edgar's arm is pained, but he creates a line of mines that will successfully demolish a good deal of the trucks. They manage to successfully put up flaming barricade to corner and funnel down the opposition, but then things go wrong. As they lay down a couple anti-personnel mines and other traps, they have forgotten to mark down the burning buildings, and one comes down. [Save: 7] Luckily, no one dies, though one man is burned and has his legs crushed, but between them is more burning buildings. They're trapped. They either need to make their final stand here, or brave the inferno and hope neither the military nor the fire kills them as they escape to better ground.
On the other end of the radio, the tanks suddenly begin raising their barrels and the helicopters unfold out missile launchers. [3 v 6] The tanks miss their shots [6 v 6] while the Helicopters narrowly undershoot. Bobby Jefferson smugly leans back, seemingly not getting that Mycroft is the one calling him out on the radio, and spins a yarn, saying "This man was deceiving our great emperor, he tried to get him to stop the fighting, to surrender, do you think anyone would have gone well for you if our Emperor did, do you think this great empire would have ever continue to be as great as it is? For this great empire and all of it's people, including you, this had to be done!" [4+2 (Politics] -2 (Talking to a Pissed Off Mycroft)-1 (Mild Concussion)] On the radio, Mycroft just sighs. "Well...traitors are rewarded as traitors are. Sirs?" And suddenly, assault rifles are aimed at the jeep. Edgar hears on the radio "Disregard. Delivering the politician. Get the fuck out once you're done."
BSN: And we're back! Woo! Sorry for the long wait, but my motivation is back! Let's keep going, come on, let's do this!

“Well Henry, this has turned to shit rather quickly. Almost reminds me of Cartegena.”
Henry looks confused for a moment, then stares off into the distance, an empty look on his face.
“The ballerinas.”
“The bloody ballerinas. I’ve been bested by women before, but I never imagined I’d be climbing on rooftops naked, retreating from the Spaniards. That governor never took kindly to me.”
“You did plunder his offering to the king. I also recall a certain affair with his-“
“Yes, yes, I remember. I returned the dog. Now, we need to get away from here, preferably with all our limbs attached.” he switches the radio to the military channel.
“Your terms are acceptable, however, I have some conditions. Firstly, the politician must be made very unconscious, I cannot stress that enough. Drug him, hit him, I don’t care, as long as he’s in la-la land. I will have a boat sent out to collect him. Also, I have a group of my men in your city, I would like to have them returned to my ships unmolested. Do we have an accord?”
Switch the radio back to my crew.
“Ready the boats for our return, and ready the ships for sailing. We will have a guest, but it’s unlikely he’ll be staying for long. I will deal with that one personally. We have one injured, make sure the medics are prepared to deal with burns and crushing injuries. The military shouldn’t pose any problems, but maintain battle readiness; guns loaded, eyes to the skies, but do not, I repeat, do not fire unless fired upon, or I tell you otherwise.”
Open up Google Maps, try to find some sort of sewer system we can use to escape, or the shortest distance through the buildings to a safe street away from the military.
Use Revisionist to make mine and Henry’s clothes fireproof, and also find things to make fireproof helmets for us both.
The burned crewman will have some of the booze we’ve made Molotov’s from for his pain, and two others will be assigned to carry him.

Morning, Cloudy, 11/14/2020
Captain Masters starts to sniff but thinks better of it. A lungful of smoke probably wouldn’t air the situation. "Well Henry, this has turned to shit rather quickly. Almost reminds me of Cartegena," he relates to his first mate, who looks confused for a split-second before the recollection hits him and leaves him with a thousand yard stare. "The ballerinas," he says quietly, mortified. "The bloody ballerinas. I’ve been bested by women before, but I never imagined I’d be climbing on rooftops naked, retreating from the Spaniards. That governor never took kindly to me," he returns, to which Henry responds with "You did plunder his offering to the king. I also recall a certain affair with his-" but is interrupted by a tellingly loud switch over to the military channel. "Yes, yes, I remember. I returned the dog. Now, we need to get away from here, preferably with all our limbs attached. Your terms are acceptable, however, I have some conditions. Firstly, the politician must be made very unconscious, I cannot stress that enough. Drug him, hit him, I don’t care, as long as he’s in la-la land. I will have a boat sent out to collect him. Also, I have a group of my men in your city, I would like to have them returned to my ships unmolested. Do we have an accord? Luckily, the soldier on the other end responds back "Yes, we have an accord. And have him right where we want him. Take him, kill him, and go." With that done, Captain Masters switches back to the ship frequency. "Ready the boats for our return, and ready the ships for sailing. We will have a guest, but it’s unlikely he’ll be staying for long. I will deal with that one personally. We have one injured, make sure the medics are prepared to deal with burns and crushing injuries. The military shouldn’t pose any problems, but maintain battle readiness; guns loaded, eyes to the skies, but do not, I repeat, do not fire unless fired upon, or I tell you otherwise." He gets an affirmative back, and finally begins to take action. [Google Maps: 10] Luckily, before even looking at Google Maps, Edgar spots a manhole. And the map confirms it: a drainage system leading straight to a sewage system about a mile away from the public beach the military is most likely on. Bingo. Before going down the manhole, he has two crewman carry the injured one, before using the Revisionist. [Revisionist: 10 & 4] He makes his clothes one-hundred percent fireproof, but the pain draws his hand back before he can alter Henry's, leaving him exposed even though it's unlikely the fire's spread to the sewers. Finally, they give the guy some alcohol, before traveling underground, and beginning to go through the sewers. [Mobility: 6] With a bit of a sprint through the tunnels, assisted by a Google Maps frozen from lack of service in just the right way, they should make it there soon. [Next Turn pending an additional roll]
Wandering through the crumbling remains of the hospital, Super-Sloth limps over the mangled remains of a doctor that fell from the tallest floor, and begins to look around for a first aid kit containing what he needs: gauze bandages, antiseptics, and some fairly long tweezers. You know the kind. [Spot/Scavenge: 6/8] It takes him a minute to find them, since they're in closed containers, but after rifling through the supplies, he finds what he's looking for, and automatically begins to use them to heal. [Medical: 10 & 2] First, he goes for his wounded knee, and despite his groans of pain, he manages to get the bullet out and regain full mobility. Poking around in his chest for the buckshot, however, doesn't turn up results. Whatever, they're not hurting him. He cleans and gauzes both wounds before sitting in the near-apocalyptically destroyed ruins of the hospital, coming up with a plan.
Bobby Jefferson takes a second to just take in the fact that he's been betrayed, and then sighs. "Well, this went well so far, see you all later." He then suddenly reaches his hand out [7] and touches the driver, writing "I WILL DRIVE BOBBY INTO THE OCEAN" into his pages via Heaven's Door. He hits the pedal and goes forward as the military fire [5 v 1], and shoot the driver in the back. His breathing croaks, but he drives into the water anyway as the jeep begins to sink.

Morning, Cloudy, 11/14/2020
As the jeep sinks into the abyss of the ocean, Bobby uses his one remaining limb, his left arm, to open the door and unbuckle his seatbelt, before suddenly transforming. He becomes a Minecraftian dolphin, and is quite (happily) surprised to see his right arm and legs have come back as phantom limbs, transparent and purple with a purple, smoky haze coming off of them. They'll be gone when he becomes human again, but as a dolphin, it seems he can swim normally. [Mobility: 3] As the driver quickly gets stuck and begins drowning, [Stealth: 3] Bobby tries to swim out, only to have to take a break to breath in valuable oxygen. This lets the military see him, but they're powerless to just gun him down due to Edgar's orders.
With Super-Sloth's healing out of the way, it's time to Wiki-War once again. He goes to find a way to see them [Spot: 8] and manages to spot a dead soldier a ways down the road, his radio buzzing with static. He goes over and listens in, the soldier on the other end saying "Report in! We need to hear from you. The pirate's gonna be coming from the boat and now Jefferson's become a goddamn dolphin!" Bingo. Both of them are at or near the beach, clearly.
Wandering through the sewers of the former city of Almere, Edgar looks around for alternate exits to prepare for any setbacks or betrayals, a smart option indeed. [Spot: 10] And indeed, there are many exits to manholes and drainage pipes and even leading to the ocean throughout the area. He finds about eleven, and dividing up his total force of forty-seven, minus himself, Henry, and the two men carrying the third injured squadmate, squads of four re-enter the city from every angle, leaving the five remaining men to come out of the drainage pipe near the beach they were originally going to. With that done, Edgar pulls out his radio and asks "Now, where would ye like for me to collect my quarry?" The soldier's response is a flat, deadpan, utterly monotone "He turned into a fucking dolphin, from Minecraft, and swam away. He's still right by the beach, just try and catch the damn dolphin."
[1 v 3] Meanwhile, the previously ignored Niko Bellic is incapable of escaping, and is captured, brought to the beach while fully healed.

“We have an agreement with the military for the time being, don’t worry about them. We do, however,” Edgar pinches his nose because he knows the next part is madness “have to kill a dolphin for them. It’s a nightmarish, blocky looking thing, but it’s also a man. Do not, under any circumstances, allow it aboard the ships!”
If the explosives we have on hand are sufficient for blast fishing (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_fishing), skip to “Regroup” otherwise, request from Mycroft some dynamite and/or grenades in sufficient quantities.
Regroup, order the men into the boats, we’re going dolphin hunting. With explosives! Assign a spotter to each boat to look for the dolphin, and they will be armed with the best gun available, while the rest tasked with flushing out Bobby with explodey things.

Edgar gives a weary sigh, irritated that there was no easy end to the proceedings. With a twist of a knob, he's reconnected to his fleet, and quickly explains "We have an agreement with the military for the time being, don’t worry about them. We do, however... He pinches his nose and groans, before continuing with the flight of madness as he says "Have to kill a dolphin for them. It’s a nightmarish, blocky looking thing, but it’s also a man. Do not, under any circumstances, allow it aboard the ships!" [Spot: 4] However, on hand, they don't have the explosives to Bomb Fish. Undeterred, Edgar calls up Mycroft and asks "Would you happen to have explosives we could use to kill Jefferson?" [Equipment: 4] Mycroft only responds "You have cannons, don't you?" and then the line clicks dead. Undeterred again, he gets all of his men to regroup and go to the beach, passing by the now docile military to hop onto the boats and set sail.
Below the murky depths, under the HMS Phoenix, swims a Minecraftian dolphin ready to use his might to his advantage. [9+2 (Iron) v 4] Channeling his super-dolphin strength into a single, concentrated attack, his nose suddenly slams through the bottom of the ship, forcing it to take in water quickly. Wood panels break all over the ship, the weight of the blow shakes several crewmen off the ship to swim for their lives, and the HMS Phoenix is plain fucked, basically. Triumphant, Bobby Jefferson hops out of the water to take a quick breath.
Just then, [Stealth: 10] unbeknownst to anyone, Super-Sloth arrives onto the scene, walking back the alley where this all started to step onto the crisp golden sand [Spot: 10+2 (Stealth Bonus)] and finds both of his opponents immediately. A dolphin jumping up as a ship crumbles around him, and a pirate captain chasing after him guns a blazing.

Looking utterly nonplussed at the response from Mycroft, Captain Edgar Masters breathes in and speaks calmly back into the radio. "While I appreciate you gentleman are in a perilous situation, there is one of him and hundreds of you. Give the best marksmen a gun, put the best spotters in the crows nest, set the rest around the railings of the ships, and SHOOT THE FUCKING DOLPHIN!" Turning around to address his men in the boats by him, he bellows loudly "That goes for you, too! The boat that gets the kill will want for little when we’re done! Spread out but stay within shooting range of each other; you saw what it did to the Phoenix, let’s make sure the same doesn’t happen to you, yes?" Swiveling his head around to Henry, he gives a simple order of "You look for the bastard, I’ll shoot it,", before pulling out his Webley revolver. [Spot: 4] Henry sees a vague shape in the water and, believing it to indeed be Bobby Jefferson in dolphin form, calls out "Fire!" which Edgar does. [3-2 v 7] Fortunately, Edgar misses the actual, completely normal dolphin swimming by, a growl leaving his lips in frustration.
Bobby Jefferson, hearing the shots, goes for broke and attacks the Capella next with about the same strength. [1+2 v 7] Unfortunately, the Capella holds a lot tougher here, merely rocking side to side. Undeterred, Bobby Jefferson hops out of the water to breathe [5+3 (Strength in Numbers) v 4] right as a Webley and two L85s fire in retaliation, lighting up the block dolphin in seconds. [Composure: 10] Amazingly, through sheer willpower, Bobby not only stays in dolphin form, but has the strength to immediately counterattack against his biggest target [8 v 10], bumping the boat that Edgar and Henry are on and tipping it over. Edgar and Henry aren't wounded, but they are all sitting ducks.
Grinning from his unseen vantage point, Super Sloth says to himself "Oh, yeah, it's all coming together." Hoisting up the missile launcher and aiming it at Edgar, Henry, and the dolphin and privateers and pirates in addition, Super Sloth attempts to fire [Unreliable: 4] and manages, though at an awkward angle that will need to try harder to hit. [3-2 (Awkward Angle) v 5] And miss it does, sailing overhead and blowing up a mast on the destroyed Phoenix. [Stealth: 9] Luckily, the sudden explosion itself means no one watches the smoke trail to find Super-Sloth.
[Medical: 4] Unfortunately, the rounds in Bobby Jefferson's body exacerbate his other health problems, and the blood freely flowing out into the water do not help. Unless Bobby can become human, get to dry land, and bandage himself up in a few minutes (Bleed-Out in Three Turns, Death in Four), he will succumb to his wounds.
[Spot: 7+2 (Blood Trail)] And his luck is continuing to burn away, as the pirates open fire on what is obviously Bobby based on the flowing blood trail behind him. [2+2 (Strength in Numbers) v 6] They miss some rounds, though, the bullets stopping faster in the water, allowing Bobby a bit more time.
BSN: Finally! I'm so sorry, everyone. These past few weeks have been creatively stifling and I couldn't work on the turn like I was. Luckily, I feel my creative spark coming back, so the game should be right as rain now. Thanks for waiting.

With his quarry submerged and time running out for himself, Bobby Jefferson decides to fight until his last. "It's not or never," he thinks to himself, before charging towards Edgar, trying to attack. [10+2 (Iron) v 2-2 (Waterlogged)] He opens his mouth mid-lunge, and with Edgar being unable to dodge effectively due to the water current waterlogging his clothes and equipment, he's a sitting duck as Bobby suddenly bites down on his head and carries it up to the surface with him. Edgar is decapitated by the force, his head remaining in Bobby's mouth as his headless body submerges to the murky depths below.
The Dread Privateer's bounty has been paid! Bobby Jefferson gets:
https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Qotho: +Arakh
Within Bobby Jefferson's inventory, a curved sickle-sword appears.
Super-Sloth, quirking his jaw a bit in dismay, begins to reload his rocket launcher. After popping the missile in, he has just enough time to fire the shot within it. [Unreliable: 8] Luckily, this shot rings true on where he aimed, barreling towards where Edgar had just died. [1 v 5] Unfortunately, it just about misses, landing in the water and petering out...[3 v 7] before a giant explosion emerges, destroying and demolishing the rest of the Phoenix. [Stealth: 1] And with that, the soldiers finally notice, and immediately begin firing on his position. [10 v 7] A bullet slams into his shoulder, splashing blood against the ground.
Demoralized, the other pirates and privateers row away...except for Henry, who pulls out his Browning semi-auto pistol and fires it three times, screaming in rage. [5 v 10] He misses the first shot, [1 v 9/1 v 4] and then the rest without even coming close. He starts to swim towards the boat, angry tears burning from his eyes.

Deathmatch
Part XXVIII: The Eternity Bomb
"Almelo", Formerly Almere, Flevoland in the Holmsian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almere)
Noon, Cloudy, 11/14/2020
With Edgar dispatched and Henry shaking in sheer rage on a boat, the dying Bobby Jefferson is free to search for Super-Sloth as well as he can, trying to find out where he is. [Spot: 6] He sees a green humanoid figure wandering around on street level, a bit over the parade of soldiers. As he bleeds, he realizes attacking there is a bad move.
Super-Sloth has no such realization, because he doesn't need to go close-quarters. In between volleys of shots against him, Super-Sloth pulls out two bombs, and chucks them out into the ocean, trying to hit Bobby Jefferson. [2 v 6-3 (Close to Passing Out)] With the adrenaline gone and his skin going cold, Bobby only narrowly dodges the first bomb as it explodes behind him. [10 v 2-3] The second, however, lands right under Bobby's position, and he is unable to get away before the bomb detonates. A large explosion of blood and red-colored Minecraft dolphin parts concuss out of a rising geyser of detonated water, splattering the ocean and any remaining pirates in the viscera. The world around Super-Sloth fades away, as E.D.U floats down in her butterfly-like form to greet The_Two_Eternities. "State your wish."
The_Two_Eternities has won!

After a second of absolutely stunned reaction, The_Two_Eternities smiles and shrugs. "Well, no reason not to continue the trend...I wish the next round would feature Super Sloth as an antagonist. Retreating when he has to, but always coming back."
E.D.U pauses, then glows a brilliant blue. "Your wish...is granted." And thus The_Two_Eternities disappears for now.

Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
After the wish was granted, the monstrous Super-Sloth was dropped into the city where the next Wiki-War would transpire. With his connection to Sin and his supernatural powers, he began to conspire to sabotage the competition and leave no winner beyond himself. He wouldn't need to fight himself. He just needed to drop bombs and hope for carnage.
Thus, after killing a newlywed couple and taking their house on the streets of Valdosta, the Azalea City, he peered out the window for more than a month to search for who was next. And his hunch proved fruitful.
Another ten emerged from purple code, outfitted with weapons, items, powers, and allies as per usual. But...this plan of Super-Sloth's had a hiccup. This wasn't one life. It was as many as was needed. The winner needed ten points, ten kills to win. This...would be different.
BSN: So! Classic. What are the detailed rules for this game mode?
Well, it's simple. A Wiki-Warrior kill is worth a point, and Allies are worth half a point.. When you kill a Wiki-Warrior, you get half their points rounded down. You need ten points to win. But hmm...there is only nine opponents per player. Well! The game continues. For every death, another player from the Waitlist is brought in. The game will continue on and on until a player has acquired ten points. So, this could be either be quick as a button or the longest match in this whole thread, and that includes future matches. We shall see.
Until then, to the sheets!

They are game/anime accurate, yes. So, for example, a Rider-class Servant with an A in Riding would have +2 to boarding and piloting whatever the hell they've got. They're balanced by, unlike in Fate, being able to be hurt by normal, non-magic humans as well as their bonuses being a set +1/+2/+3 etc buff.
Skills also apply. They are part of a Heroic Spirit.
What you just described for the Command Seals is how they already work, though. The Servant has sentience, but are still obligated to serve you. But they can serve you without the Command Seals. Masters get three Command Spells to force obedience, even in official works like Fate/Zero.
And yes, that big bitch is on the ground and not in space.

Part I: Come On Over
Valdosta, Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
The first Wiki-Warrior to act in this competition is the politician known as Thomas Scott, who adjusts his suit carefully. Then, he springs to life, moving over to his cartoon bear friend Barney and trying to shake him awake by telling him "Wake up, Barney! We're going on an adventure!" He slowly gets up, replying "Sorry, Tommy! Just needed my rest." Thomas gets Barney up and the two run to escape, ducking behind a building where a Georgian family is understandably concerned. [Politics: 8+2] Upon seeing them, Thomas straightens his tie and tells them "Well now, see, I may not be a politician of your jurisdiction, but I have a vision. I shall succeed in this war, where others have or shall fail. I didn't get on the Grey County council because of this beard, I got on for my determination and willingness to succeed! So, humble family that probably doesn't speak enough English to understand my grandeur, heed my tone and provide to me and my pal Barney access to supplies." They don't get all of it, but considering he looks like the nicest guy of the ten that just popped up, the dad hooks them up with food, drink, and a first aid kit for his vigor.
Surrounded by enemies and desiring an escape, the Bishop George Blyth nods to his partner, the former guard of Seido known as Dairou, to stand back. "Pain Train..." he says quietly, waving his hand as a white light shines across his palm. Suddenly, rock music begins to play in every nearby Warrior's head, which is to say everyone. As it hits, an old steam train, slowly going translucent as it goes down to it's wheels, suddenly barrels in towards Helena Harper. [3 v 7] She gasps and leaps just in time to avoid the train as it stops next to George Blyth and Dairou right as the song's choice lyrics are heard. "I'm on a train...goin' nowhere. I ran away, to make you care... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGib2gJ3Wyg)" The pair gets on the train and surveys the area, before the train hurriedly departs, blowing past everybody as it leaves out of sight.
Going to the next reaction, comes a strange sight. A king, certainly, judging by his ice crown, and he is humanoid. But his skin appears frost-bitten, with blue skin everywhere except for his pitch-black fingers and surely pitch-black toes. Spikes of ice jut out from his flesh. His bright blue eyes spot the large spacecraft over yonder, uncertainty building over whether or not they could take it. But it wasn't the biggest concern, however many hundreds of crewmen couldn't track just two people. It was every other Warrior he had to worry about. "Archer, we must pull back for now. We will force them to fight on our terms," he tells his Servant, a tanned-skin man in red known only as Archer. "If you insist," Archer replies. The King waves his hands [Ice Magic: 8] and brings up a massive wall of ice, enough to mask The King's and Archer's escapes to the top of a governmental building rooftop nearby. Lots of cover, high ground. Good call.
Faced with nine opponents to fight past and surrounded by their presence, the elven Aeyon Fellwind mutters to himself "Elbereth! This situation is grave..." He immediately goes to find an escape route [2] only to get blindsided by a sudden, quote, "Goddamned Rock and Roll Ghost Train." It rolls past him harmlessly enough, but he still chooses to open his pouches and release his yellowjacketed loyal subjects. [10 v 4] The wasps suddenly attack the train, multiple tails piercing into George Blyth as he really does go out of sight this time. With that done, [Escape: 10] Aeyon manages to kick a door open, close it, and move upstairs to a house's attic before even the homeowners realize he's inside.
With a quick overlook on the situation, the Android known as John pulls his pistol. "The politician. Something about him is telling me we should go for him first. Perhaps his social influence?" he says to Markus, who also pulls his own pistol. Markus responds "Three rounds rapid for each of us. Even if it doesn't kill him, it could suppress him behind the house." [7/9/3 v 9/5/4] Markus fires first, three bullets leaving his gun as Thomas walks away from the house, first aid kit in hand. The first round impact the kit and bounces off, while the second slams into his right elbow, spilling blood and causing him to drop the first aid kit. The third bullet misses. [7 v 7] John fires next, but misses as Barney tackles Thomas Scott to the ground to safety. [8 v 7] The second bullet hits Barney, but stays caught in his fat and doesn't do much internally as Barney gets up [9 v 2] to the third bullet striking true in the chest. Barney breathes heavily as blood splatters onto the grass and he stumbles on his bear paws.
With all the chaos going on, Korol Solo, supposed ancestor of the great Han Solo, rubs his face with his left hand in contemplation. "I've got a bad feeling about this," he tells his ally, Chertyl. "We gotta get to the ship," she responds, which Korol agrees with. [Escape: 9] Not much happens, everyone more focused on fighting eachother or taking a defensive position, and so they manage to get to near where the ship is, where it is parked. There should be a small crew of pilots, navigators, and engineers inside, as well as functioning hyperdrive and communications.
With a quirked eyebrow hidden the Plague Doctor's mask, Ethan Daine starts off by trying to go to the shadows, followed by his coworker in CICADA, Morgan Argencourt. [Stealth: 7] As much as it is midday, they manage to skulk around the neighborhood until they find the wounded, the only two wounded so far: a politician and his cartoon bear. "Shoot the bear after I stab the suit," Ethan orders Morgan, before the two begin to swoop in. [6+2 (Stealth) v 8] Ethan goes in to stab Thomas, only for the adrenaline pumping through Thomas to let his hear the subtle crack of boots against gravel and twigs. He leans down and, with his left hand, grabs the first aid kit and pushes Ethan back. [1+2 (Stealth) v 4] Morgan is similarly unlucky. Despite the advantage of stealth, Barney turns and notices Thomas in danger just quick enough to move in to fight Ethan himself, narrowly missing a bullet to the torso.
Also faced with this conundrum are the four girls that make up Team RWBY, in particular the blonde brawler known only as Yang Xiao Long. Without the experience of a prior Wiki-War, everything comes off stranger. A ghost train, Androids, bears, and space-ships. Understating it, Yang says "Well, this is...great? I guess, uh, Ruby?". Ruby, her dear sister and actual team leader, is looking at the kerfuffle between CICADA and the politician, and says the first thing that comes to mind: "Down!" [Cover: 9] All four girls run over to behind a different house, Ruby making it there fastest with a trail of rose petals. "Okay, good call," Blake says as soon as her back presses against the house's walls. "Play defense and scope out the opposition."
(Idle) Both Helena Harper and Subject 23. Secret Service and a Raptor. Hopefully they do...something.

Walk up to the officer in charge of the army, introduce ourselves, explain the situation, give them their orders and inform them that I will be providing heavy fire support with the Arquitens-class Light Cruiser if it's requested. Take two pilots, a medic, a couple of trained gunners and 50 soldiers with me to the light cruiser and prepare for take-off.
Engaging RTS mode
The orders for the Republican Army are to continue the establishment and fortification of their base of operations and to start with the evacuation of all civilians in the city. Further orders will be provided once the base of operations has been set up and fortified.
Did the army arrive with their own ground vehicles and aircraft? Do they have specialized infantry such as snipers and demolition experts and what's the ratio between them and regular soldiers
Do they have non-lethal weaponry and are they well equipped to capture enemy targets and transport them to a secure cell?
Board the ship and take-off, we're headed for a suitable altitude for planetary bombardment. While we're taking off, do a headcount of the crew and take a look at the armory. What weapons do we have, are they suitable for a non-lethal approach, do we have any holding cells to appropriately store prisoners?
As for the reinforcements, how fast can they arrive, how many of them will arrive and what weapons do they have?
Based on all of this information, make an assessment as to how practical a non-lethal approach will be.

It is a sudden escalation of power, yes, but two people cannot fly an entire Light Cruiser by itself, and I forgot about the Republic Army I should've rightfully added from the start to pilot it.
So, technically, you have the power you were meant to have, and I accidentally downgraded you until it crossed my mind.

(Eeheheheheh, excellent)
"Archer, I've heard tales of a certain blade in your collection. Caladbolg I believe it is called. I'm asking for you to fire it at that ship." The King says, gesturing at the starship in question. "If it gets too high into the air, then us and everyone else in this city will be at the mercy of its cannons. I cannot claim to know where the vital components are, but see if you can perhaps hit some of the weapons themselves to limit its damage potential, but if you believe you could bring it down in one shot, do not hesitate to try."
Have Archer do just that, but if he refuses, don't bother using a Command Seal. I acknowledge that the plan has its risks. Meanwhile, see about forming myself some proper Ice Armor

"Big ship means big guns. Should we take it down, sis?"
"We should try. If they fire on us, a lot of people could get caught in the middle. Let's do what we can, team!"

Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
"This ain't my house, this ain't your home..." the song continues as the train roars through Valdosta. Itching the bee stings on his arms, ignoring the swelling in a frenzy of focus, Bishop George Blyth takes a look at the map in the front, aiming to find any kind of megachurch close by he can run past. His past life as a servant of YHVH in The War of the Rich Man's Fortune has reminded him of the fervor a religious mob can handle. And considering he's a man of the cloth, why not go for it? [Search: 2] Unfortunately, the map doesn't turn out very many results. There is a small church just northwest, but it's not the size he wants. Still, after a minute more of traveling, he stops there, hops off, and pursues his lead. [Convince: 3+2 (Religious)] He bursts through the doors confidently and tells them "My children! The Lord hath spoken to me! The wicked devils in main Valdosta are tearing the town apart, and He needs my guidance! Who is with thee!" Considering how the last War ended up, skepticism isn't high. Yes, in fact the war between Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes is still raging thanks to the betrayals bitter-ing the latter's heart. But none of them are in the mood to fight, save for five younger people who grab their bags and get going.
Stepping up inside the Light Cruiser for the first time this battle, Korol Solo immediately goes to give orders. "Get us up in orbit, we're gonna bomb the place," he tells the pilots, who then tell the relevant crew to get inside. While starting up safety checks, Korol begins to go around the ship, talking to people to get an exact headcount. An officer walking on deck answers "We have the bare minimum to make the craft run, sir. About...five-hundred strong? Perhaps around that."
Sighing and filled with regret for the future travesty he is close to committing, Aeyon Fellwind whispers a quick prayer. "Elbereth forgive me... the situation requires this vile art," he begs, before placing down his portable bioprocessor and getting it work. With a simple cotton swab in hand, too small and inconsequential to be noted down otherwise, he grabs some germ cells from his cheek and places them in the processor, beginning to work. [Genetic Research: 10+2 (Genetic Science) +2 (Intelligence)] What he produces is an ungodly plague, easily the most powerful disease ever spliced by the hands of a human, or elf in this case. The disease, when inflicted, causes the infected to become weak-willed and subservient to the Host (in this case, Aeyon), capable of doing their bidding and their bidding alone. However, it comes with some physical side-effects, namely an increase in bile production (which spreads the virus) and pain, in addition to light sensitivity. In essence, Aeyon has developed a Voodou Zombie plague, and he is the necromancer who can command his army of the "dead". At least, that's the plan. Nurturing a whole plague is not an instant process, but with how far he's gotten, it will only take a few more minutes (one turn) to finish.
With sorrow in his voice, pain in his soul, and far more literal pain spreading across his weakened right arm, Thomas kneels down by his fallen comrade for but a second to cry out "This has gone downhill decidedly quickly. Barney, my closest friend! How it saddens me to see you wounded so!" Looking around at both of the dastardly duos deigning to decimate him, Thomas comes up with a quick plan, and then draws his pistol in his left hand. [6 v 9] Whirling around, he fires at Ethan Daine, missing narrowly but managing to throw him off, before suddenly beginning to sing a powerful song. [5 v 1 (John)/3 (Markus)/2 (Ethan)/5 (Morgan)] "AAAAAAAAVE MARIAAAAAAAA!~" he suddenly belts out, letting out a power soundwave just in time to turn his head and attack the Androids. John is blow back against the car, shattering the driver's side window and splintering glass into John's back, spilling Thirium onto the ground. In addition, the impact knocks the JB300 out of the passenger's side and sends him onto the ground [Injury: 1], not doing much more than giving him a surprise. Markus is thrown over the hood of the car, but otherwise just dazed. Turning his head, he continues singing "JUNGFRAAUUUU MIIIIILD!~, this time towards Ethan Daine and Morgan. Ethan is thrown back onto his back, disarming him of his knife as it clatters to the ground. Morgan actually manages to stay up, but he clutches his ears as though his eardrums were close to bursting. With that done, Thomas grabs Barney and tries to pull him up [Strength: 1-2 (Right Arm)] but then drops him, bonking him on the head and dazing him more. Instead, he drags Barney inside the house, and goes to fix both of their wounds. [Medical: 10] With bandages, disinfectant, and painkillers in hand, he manages to fix up his arm and cover Barney's wounds within a mere minute of entering the house, patting his bear friend on the head.
Despite the blue blood pouring down his back from the glass shards, John still stands back up. As an Android, he feels no pain, and so ignores the inconsequential damage. With no clear shot at Thomas Scott or the bear, and Markus still getting back up from being thrown over the hood of the car, he alone switches targets. He raises his gun up, and fires at the plague doctor and suited fellow once each. [9 v 4] Ethan Daine starts to get up just in time to catch a bullet to his hip, sending him back down to the ground. [6 v 5] Morgan, meanwhile, is merely grazed in the left ear, ripping out a chunk of cartilage. Markus then follows suit, finally getting up and firing two bullets of his own, this time into the house to at least try and kill Thomas and Barney. [7-2 (No Clear Shot) v 5] A bullet rips through the wall just above Thomas' head, cutting his time to recover short. [2-2 (No Clear Shot) v 8] On the second shot, the bullet jams on the casing from the previous shot, leaving Markus with an extra bullet, but no chance to intervene. Luckily, the knife wielding JB300 suddenly runs into the house [Spot: 3], but since he didn't stop to ask Markus or John where they entered in at, he goes upstairs and fails to check the kitchen Thomas and Barney are hiding in.
Looking over the starship with a most judgemental gaze, the King of Castle Peaks sneers and crouches down on the roof of the city hall, thinking of a plan of how to dispose of it. If it manages to launch, it's weapons capabilities may very well be enough to destroy the whole town, whole city, possibly even wherever the battle spreads. He looks over to his Archer, and remembering a piece of his personal history, asks of him "Archer, I've heard tales of a certain blade in your collection. Caladbolg I believe it is called. I'm asking for you to fire it at that ship." He gestures to the Light Cruiser as it's engines light up. "If it gets too high into the air, then us and everyone else in this city will be at the mercy of its cannons. I cannot claim to know where the vital components are, but see if you can perhaps hit some of the weapons themselves to limit its damage potential, but if you believe you could bring it down in one shot, do not hesitate to try." Archer stands up and breathes in deeply, before simply stating "Trace on." A bow and the drill-like sword in question emerge, in his hands, and as he primes the shot, he explains "Sure, I'll hit the weapons. But hopefully, it stops just about dead center." [5 v 10] Archer fires at the weapons, but as he launches the Broken Phantasm, an automatic defense turret comes online and blasts Caladbolg II, causing it explode violently in mid-air. [Size: 6] The explosion doesn't catch anyone inside, but everyone, even George Blyth all the way at the Megachurch and the people inside the Light Cruiser, can see the massive fireball, and the shockwave shakes buildings. A thunderous boom overtakes the whole town. "Damn," Archer responds. "I'll have to try that one again." [Ice Magic: 8] In the meanwhile, The King of Castle Peak composes a magnificent set of Ice Armor that should protect him easily. (+2 to Defense until compromised)
Even with a bullet in his hip, the pain radiating through the open wound and coursing through his body, Ethan Daine still gets up and grabs his knife, making a run towards Thomas Scott and Barney. Kicking the door open, he finds Thomas Scott, hands over head on the floor to avoid the bullets. He raises his knife up [7 v 7] only for Thomas to dodge the resulting downwards stab towards his neck. Standing up, Thomas braces himself for the fight as Ethan lets off a shallow follow-up slash [2 v 10] only for Thomas to dodge backwards just far enough that by the time Ethan recovers from the swipe, Barney has stood back up with a grimace on his face. [5 v 1] Ethan turns around just in time to get smacked by Barney's paw, sent flying through the door into the living room. Wood splinters and shallowly stabs into his right arm, and the force of the impact against both the door and the ground after further bruises the same arm.
Breathing in slowly and peeking her head out from behind the corner of the house, Yang tries to take stock of the situation as best she can. [Spot: 10] The shockwave and still fading fireball alone make it clear that a large and loud explosion just sprang forth. On the roof of what seems to be City Hall (although the signs and markings are written in a script she had never seen before), a frost-bitten looking man and a tan human in a red shroud seem to be behind that explosion. The sounds of gunfire fill the air, and most pressingly, there is a giant airship just sitting just slightly out of town, and it does not look friendly in the slightest. Weiss sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. "I have no idea what's going on, and quite frankly? I'm too scared to ask," she says, while Blake focuses on the task ahead and asks "So, what's the plan Ruby?" Yang herself looks over the airship and posits "Big ship means big guns. Should we take it down, sis?" Ruby nods, and cocks Crescent Rose's bolt. "We should try. If they fire on us, a lot of people could get caught in the middle. Let's do what we can, team!" And thus, the team stands from cover and does just that, with Yang firing first. [1 v 10+2 (Starship Plating)] Firing Dust rounds out of Ember Celica, Yang blasts the airship. However, her blasts don't even make a dent in the ship because of the tough armor plating it has, and what's more, it's auto-defense turret has just locked onto the threat. [9 v 6+2 (Cover)] "Oh shi-!" Yang calls out as she heads back behind the building just as the plasma beam shot fires, blasting the team away and sending them flying. The sheer force of the turbolaser is muffled by the impact of the ground, but the shockwave and resulting landing has cost them fifteen "points" of Aura each. The impact sends Yang's eyes burning red as the rest get up and get back behind cover, dazed but otherwise okay.
The pilots and engineers start to get the Light Cruiser off the ground.
Helena Harper and Subject 23 disappear.
In their place, firstly, comes from the North of the city. With the stolen tech of the Pilum laser in hand, a GDI Supreme Commander walks onto the battlefield with his crew: five GDI infantry soldiers, and a wooden statue of none other than the Virgin Mary, hands clasped in prayer. "Don't do anything stupid," Supreme Commander Zachary Harkin tells them.
Meanwhile, from the South walks a White Mage. An almost dog-like figure clad in white robes shuffles onto the battleground, healing staff and various magical artifacts in hand.

"Damnit, fire quickly, we don't want to give it the chance to return fire."
The king forgoes reinforcing his position for the all-to likely possibility that it will need to be abandoned quickly in case of return fire. Instead, he will attempt to strike down his foes directly.
If any seemingly vulnerable enemy Warriors are visible from my position, attempt to spear them with ice spikes from a distance

Give the crew their orders and head off to inspect the ship. I'm mainly looking at the armory and the brig, I'm still uncommited whether I'm going to try pacifism again or just nuke the site from orbit. With that in mind take a complete look at the weapons in the armory and how many of them are compatible with a non-lethal approach, similarly check how many holding cells we have and whether the ship has a hangar with transport ships within it.

Well, could have been better, but could have been a lot worse. I wonder if my self driving car is deviant too, or if it'll try to avoid hitting people. I mean, it is an AI after all right? Worst case, perhaps I'll just assume direct control... I gotta get more recruits anyway so I may as well do a wide range check later.
Finish off the plague doctor. Secondary priorities: Get in the car with my team and get outta here.

Reeling the power of my Semblance back in to dish out when it's needed more, I slide into cover beside my partner.
"Well, that didn't work."
"It didn't look like we even made a dent."
"If I might make a suggestion, maybe we should try seeing what we can do about the rest of these..." A pause. "People, first? Maybe one or two of them would be willing to help us?"
"Stick together. Freezerburn!"
Leaping out from cover, I follow through with the called pre-coordinated attack, slamming a fire Dust round into the sheet of ice created by my teammate. With the resulting billow of fog providing substantial cover, Team RWBY makes a break for city hall.

Classic
Part III: Titanfall
Valdosta, Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
With the adrenaline coursing through his veins and the song still flowing through his heart, Thomas Scott doesn't even stop or hesitate before continuing on the path to least resistance. While he hits the magazine release to switch out for a full load, Barney continues trying to savage Ethan Daine. [6 v 10] He lunges for Ethan with paws at the ready, but Ethan rolls out of the way on his left side just in time to avoid the swipe. Still, Thomas reloads and fires. [1 v 5] He fires his pocket pistol at the door, and hits it! Unfortunately, Ethan Daine is not a door. And to make matters worse, the JB300, hearing the shots, runs down to try and attack Thomas. [5 v 7] He swipes with his blade, but misses, and as Barney rears back and heads into the kitchen in return, only Ethan remains in the living room.
The King of Castle Peak growls under his breath, a frown creasing across his face in chagrin and irritation as the craft begins rising off the ground. Raising a hand glowing blue with Ice Magic, the King looks towards his Servant and orders "Damn it, fire quickly, we don't want to give it the chance to return fire." Archer traces another version of Caladbolg, clutching the Broken Phantasm as he looks over the rising aircraft. Meanwhile, the King looks around to spot vulnerable Wiki-Warriors. [Spot: 2] However, from his vantage point, he can't really see anyone. Not really, anyway. Archer notches Caladbolg II, and doesn't hesitate to fire. [9 v 2 (+2 Damage: Penetration of Caladbolg and Explosion of Broken Phantasm)] This time, the aim rings true. He fires it, and the drill-shaped blade passes through the weapons systems, disabling the Turbolasers on it's right side as it passes through the ship before stopping dead center in the craft. [Injury: 3 (Korol Solo)] [Injury: 2 (Chertyl Ruluwoor)] [Injury: 10 (Ship Itself and Crew)] A fiery explosion detonates right in the middle of the ship, disabling the engines and most of the weapons systems. Of the five-hundred and eighty six crewmen, half are either eradicated by the explosion, dismembered by the yield, set ablaze by the Broken Phantasm's explosion, or simply have internally bled to death from the shockwave. The remaining crew of two hundred and ninety three, along with Korol and Chertyl, are unharmed save for bruises and cuts as the ship makes a hard landing from the lack of engine support.
The very first thing the GDI soldiers (and the weird-ass wooden statue of the Virgin Mary) see is a large spaceship just outside of town crashing and burning. Clearly, the conflict is already underway. Thus, they all pile in to their nearby helicopter, and begin to spin the rotors. Two Infantry fly the chopper, two of them hang out the side to add some extra guns, and one joins Zachary and the Virgin Mary, sat down in the craft itself as backup. They begin flying towards the town, scoping out Wiki-Warriors to battle later on. [Spot: 9] They spot Team RWBY hiding behind a building first, followed by The King and Archer on top of City Hall, a couple Androids standing by a car, and a...goddamn ghost train reversing towards the town. They do not, however, spot Thomas Scott, Aeyon Fellwind, or White Mage.
Picking himself off the ground, surviving despite the odds, Korol Solo brushes himself off and rushes towards the communications network, and sends out the following bulletin. "Alright, well, situation is clearly very abnormal, but stay calm. Okay, the plan has to change. I'll get the tech guys to start making reinforcement hails, while I check the armory and brig. Maybe we can still pull off the peacekeeping aspect. Make sure no one picks us off while we're down." With that done, he picks Chertyl up onto her feet and tells her "Keep an eye on them," before running off. First towards the armory, passing by the carnage both ship and crew have experienced. [Spot: 10] Luckily, the armory is not only intact when he finally makes it there, but he does, in fact, find exactly what he wants. Blasters with stun functions, full on stun prods, concussion grenades, handcuffs, the whole shebang. Every weapon you would ever need to pull off a pacifistic end to the Wiki-War. With that done, he runs down to the Brig, which is luckily not too far. [Condition: 9] Most of the brig cells are still in good condition, and the energy-field doors are still working. If they can either get the ship running or procure a different craft, this may just work after all.
Watching with a grin as the youngsters come aboard, the Bishop George Blyth throws it in reverse and sends the train back, hilariously playing the song "Come on Over" by Royal Blood backwards as it goes. Leading them to one of the other cars, George Blyth uses his magic, passed down from the Lord. Five swords with silver blades and gold hilts, identical to his own sword, pass out of the bright light. Dairou passes them out as George Blyth explains "The Swords of the Bishopric. Some of God's own might passed down to us humble warriors. They are said to be blessed, slaying the Wicked with ease. Take them, my brethren. Let us purge." The train crashes back into Valdosta in no time [8 v 9] narrow missing the car the Androids are next to with the caboose.
With the weary sigh comparable to others in his field who have done the unspeakable, Aeyon stares down at the finished vials and syringes of the toxin, the disease. "By Elbereth..," he whispers in disbelief at what he had just done. Realizing he's still not done, he slips a vial back into the machine and whispers again "I need to make sure this vile plague does not consume me as well." [6+2+2] In no time at all, he produces a limited run of the vaccine, allowing him to cure himself should the worst come to pass.
Similar to the GDI, the first thing that crosses White Mage's mind is the large craft crashing down just outside of town, only North of her position. With a weary sigh, she casts Protect (+2 Defense for two turns) and begins to wander into town in search of a place where she can find spell books. [Spot: 8] As soon as she makes it into Valdosta on the Southern end, she finds a bookstore and wanders in. The civilians who are still there cower at all the explosions and gunfire coming up North, but she still quietly looks around for a spell book. [6] She finds one that may prove fruitful for at least one White Magic spell. It'll take a little while to go through, though.
Before John and Markus can start their plan to break in and end Ethan Daine's life, JB300 is busy with his own agenda of trying to assassinate Thomas Scott and Barney. [2 v 6] He takes a swipe at Thomas, and again misses very narrowly, before turning around to stab Barney. [10 v 6] He manages to stab into Barney's cheek, and roughly pulls it out, giving the Cartoon bear half of a Glasgow Grin. Bursting in, John and Markus open fire on Ethan. [5 v 6-2 (Pain)] John's first shot misses, the round flying past Ethan and crashing into the wall, which lodges itself into the drywall. [1 v 6-2 (Pain)] Markus misses even worse, firing right as Ethan Daine bolts upstairs.
Running upstairs, Ethan takes the first precaution on escaping: stealth. [Stealth: 10-2 (Pain)] Despite now limping as the adrenaline dies, he still manages to duck into the upstairs bathroom's linen closet, hiding amongst the shelves. It wasn't perfect, but it'd give him just enough time to come up with a plan. [Medical: 6] While in there, he finds some gauze and uses it to close up the wound at his hips. He's still feeling pain, but he's not immediately bleeding out and leaving a trail to follow him, which is useful.
Suppressing her anger and sliding back into cover beside Blake, Yang breathes out heavily and tries to snark "Well, that didn't work." Blake shakes her head and looks over, only to see the horrific explosion and crash. "Well, we didn't do much...but those people on City Hall sure did." Weiss sighs and pinches her nose. "If I might make a suggestion?" she starts. "Maybe we should try seeing what we can do about the rest of these...people, first? Maybe one or two of them would be willing to help us?" Ruby looks over and nods. "Okay...stick together. Freezerburn!" [Stealth: 10] Weiss pops out of cover at the right time to use her blade to produce a sheet of ice, letting Yang punch down a fire Dust round into it. A billow of blistering cold fog coats the town, allowing Team RWBY to run towards City Hall and hide before anyone notices they've left their position. They are under the archway around the entrance, allowing them to stay concealed for now.

Deathmatch
Part IV: The Slumber Ends
Valdosta, Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
With the books and pages therein opened to her access, with the caveat of being in a library while chaos and cacophony resonates out the window, the White Mage begins to peruse the book she attained, looking for both a White Mage's spell, as well as an offensive spell she could use to tip the scales. [White Magic: 9] She finds the spell Esuna, a White Magic Spell that can remove Status Effects, if not the wounds that cause them. It can remove Poisons, Blindness, Petrifications and Immobilization, and more. [Offensive Spell: 2] Unfortunately, due to her main specification as a White Mage, she can't find a good enough offensive spell to use. With that done, she closes the book and tries to take cover, just in case. [Stealth: 4] She hides just under the window, ignoring the quizzical looks from everyone else. Not perfect, but so long as no one shows up, it should be fine.
"There," orders Zachary Harkin, pointing out the window towards the house the Androids just breached. The pilots nod and begin to bring the bird down to land, kicking up dust as it touches down. Zachary and four of the soldiers jump out, guns at the ready, as a single pilot and the Wooden Mary are taken back up for aerial fire support. Approaching from behind and peering in through the broken in front door, two of the three are in the living room (the JB300 being in the kitchen and fighting Thomas and Barney) and are ripe for the taking. [5 v 6] Zachary heaves the Pilum up and fires a concentrated bolt of red plasma, which flies past John's ear and slams through the wall. John and Markus turn around just in time for the soldiers to take aim. [6 v 10 & 8] Firing their Raptor rifles, the Androids manage to evade the gunfire by hunkering down. Markus moves into the kitchen, stumbling across the melee going on, while John runs upstairs and fires on the soldiers. [10 v 8] The errant shot plugs one unlucky fellow in the armor, bruising his chest and knocking the wind out of him. However, the chopper itself still has a card to play. [3 v 10] It fires it's machine guns towards the house, and tears open the roof and cracks walls, but somehow hits nobody.
A smirk, an icy grin cracking across the face of the King of Castle Peak as he peers down at the crashed spaceship. As far as he knows, he has scored the first kill of the battle, his space-faring foe burning in the flames or caked as a red stain across the metal walls. Crossing his arms, he says "Thank you Archer, you've done well. Now then, Lancer! With a wave of his hand, Archer dematerializes into a sea of gold. Summoned in his place is his Servant of the Lancer Class, True Name Leonidas I. "Stand watch. I shall protect us." [Defense: 1+2 (Ice Magic)] He creates rudimentary defenses out of the ice. Chest-high walls, spiked ice in a wire-like shape, almost like barbed wire. It's not much, not at all. But so long as no one targets them, it'll hold.
Meanwhile, the definitely not dead Korol Solo walks through the armory, grabbing the equipment he needs. Two blasters with a stun function, rifles that can catch just as easily as they kill. Two concussion grenades, some handcuffs, and armor also helps. With that done, he goes back to the main deck, past the fires the crew is desperately extinguishing, and asks "Reinforcements called?" [Communication: 2] The radio tech on deck shakes his head. "The communication network's shot. It'll be easier to fix than the engines and weapons, we should have it up in a few minutes to an hour." Sighing, Korol then asks "Can we fix the engines and weapons?" [Repair: 3] He shakes his head again. "They're all shot to hell. Sorry, captain."
Staring behind himself at the (albeit fortunate) audacity of the GDI to ignore the shimmering spirit train, George Blyth hits the gas and maneuvers the train to actually face the house before backing it up slightly. He then waves his hands in a glow of shining golden light, and can feel the train be boosted under his feet. He then guns it. [9+2 (Hasted Vehicle) v 9] The Hasted Train lurches forward, playing Royal Blood's "Come On Over" at 2x speed as it first heads towards the soldiers. Zachary himself and most of the soldiers get out of the way, but one Private Gunther is not so lucky and it smacked with the train, turning to a viscous mulch on impact. [3+2 v 10] Next, it heads straight towards Markus, and it seems like Markus accepts his fate with his eyes closed, until he suddenly dodges, firing a shot as he jumps to the left right at George Blyth. [9 v 1] The bullet strikes him right in the left shoulder-blade, causing George to tense up before convulsing in pain. Bad thing to do when driving a train. [Control: 9-2 (Injury) -2 (Haste)] He avoids serious injury by slamming the breaks, but the train crashes through the wall anyway, parking by the family of the house who chose to sit down and stay away from the carnage. It stops dead in it's tracks, and George takes the time to fall onto his back. The others sit down after having held on tight.
Aghast at the sheer "WTFery" that just happened, namely a train coming out of nowhere and crashing through the wall right by Barney and the Android attacking Barney, Thomas decides that the best course of action is stopping him from hurting Barney any further. [8 v 6] He pulls his Pocket Pistol and fires it, shooting the hand holding the knife. The JB unit is disarmed, and Thomas Scott takes the opportunity to bolt, taking Barney's hand and running. [Escape: 8] No one tries to stop them, as the GDI are focused on the house itself and the Androids within, and George Blyth's congregation focus on gathering around to try and provide medical attention. Thus, Thomas is not stopped from trying to find a radio or television station. [Spot: 8] He manages to find a radio network in the north of the town, and he and Barney go to it. He knocks on the door and attempts to ask them to let them in [Convince: 3] but they don't seem to understand him. This is a Russian radio network, after all.
With George Blyth out of the way, John and Markus reload, pocketing their previous magazines, before backing up into the kitchen. Both fire a single shot towards the military, and John follows up with a second all before entering cover. [3 v 2] John's first shot hits the wall, but the dust kick-up does blind an infantry unit. [1 v 2] Markus' shot goes wildly off-track and smashes into a grandfather clock in the living room. [3 v 7] And finally, John's next bullet also misses, though it does hit closer. With that done, they take cover [+2 Defense] as a volley of rounds is fired back. [7 v 6+2] The rounds fail to connect, besides smashing the kitchen up behind the Androids.
Breathing in a heavy, deep sigh inward, Aeyon falls to his knees and bows his head. In a harsh whisper, he begs "To this world, I am... sorry. But nothing else I can muster will compare to the power of these great champions arrayed against me. I beg for forgiveness... but this I must do." He then grabs two crossbow bolts and dips them into the poisonous liquid form of the virus, before searching for a worthy target. [Spot: 1] Unfortunately, peering out the attic's window gives very little leeway on the nature of a good Patient Zero. The military storming the house would be a good call in terms of destructiveness, but they are mid-combat and watching eachother's backs.
Upstairs, Ethan Daine slowly climbs out of the linen closet to make sure the coast was clear before quickly sneaking out and around the upstairs area. [Stealth: 1] This plan immediately fucks up when Zachary Harkin responds to the sudden shape across the banister with gunfire. [5 v 1] Out of three rounds, a single plasma blast strikes Ethan's knee, blasting the kneecap itself apart and crippling his ability to move, at least for now. Suddenly, Ethan's forgotten ally Morgan Argencourt fires through the door from the backyard to the kitchen at the Androids! [10 v 9] Out of a three round burst, two hit the wall. But one strikes JB300 in the lower back. It doesn't do much, but it hurts. Presumably.
[Idle] [Stealth: 6] Team RWBY stays put, keeping themselves out of harm's way as they think about their next move.
Meanwhile, at the edge of town, a green humanoid figure walks the long way around towards the busted train, invisible to sight. Super Sloth has risen...
BSN: FINALLY!
I am so, so sorry. The last couple of months have been either crazy or hell. I got on Anxiety Medication just today, for instance. But I'm here now, and here to stay, so if everyone's willing to stick around, here I am. :)

"Crap. Keep me updated on its status and send every combat trained crew member to set up perimeters around the entrance of the ship. If we're unlucky we'll be facing boarding parties soon."
Find and regroup with Chertyl. Giver her the other blaster rifle and set off to gather every combat trained crew member we can find. Send every wounded crew member we come across to the bacta tanks or to the nearest medical personnel or droid depending on the severity of their injury.

(hmm, question, if I was to move to a different location and swap Servants, would the new Servant appear next to me, or at the same place the previous one had been standing?)
Good question. I'm going to say that switching Servants means they spawn next to you, but that you can render Servants immaterial (the golden particles of light, that sort of thing) and they can be in the same place.

Yes, they can follow you when their material bodies fade like that. Servants are ultimately magical beings, after all.

'Hmm, I expected my foes to launch an attack, believing me the greatest threat... I suppose they are intimidated by such a display of power.'
The king turns to his Servant.
"Lancer, come with me. With the ship and its cannons removed, I believe inside the building will provide much more safety than the roof."
Turn into spirit form with Lancer, retreat to a relatively empty room inside the City Hall.

Eyeing the battered city street, I hone in on the currently otherwise-engaged helicopter. Giving the ammo left in Ember Celica a quick once-over, I adjust the firing range with a flick of my wrist and shoot a grin at Ruby over my shoulder.
"Hey, sis? We might want to level the playing field a bit. That thing could be a problem."
"Yeah, okay. Weiss, Blake, mind keeping us covered?"
"On it."
As Ruby leans in to her scope to survey the rest of the battlefield and pick off any poor SOBs that happen to be in the open, I get to my feet and send a barrage of Dust-laced projectiles towards the chopper.

Deathmatch
Part V: Long Road to Hell
Valdosta, Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Sunrise, Sunny, 12/18/2020
The sun rises fully, a bright morning is upon us.
In spite of the blood pouring down his shoulder and the pain radiating through his body, George Blyth doesn't waste a second in trying to save the situation. He waves his hands, and bathes them in a golden magical light, as the word "Heal," passes his lips. [Magic: 9] Immediately, the jacketed lead bullet sinks out of the bleeding wound as the pain ceases and the wound closes. He quickly moves his arm around before hopping on the train and beckoning his followers to get back up. As he does, he waves his hands again, and pleads to the grace of God for Cleansing Light. [Magic: 10] While there wasn't any Magic affecting the train or it's many occupants, George, Dairou, and his Followers are now far better at handling enemy Magic [+2 to Defense against Magic.] With that done, he guns it again, reversing the train to a safe distance.
With his palm resting firmly on his forehead and a deep sigh breaking the brief silence, Korol Solo mutters "Crap. Keep me updated on its status and send every combat trained crew member to set up perimeters around the entrance of the ship. If we're unlucky we'll be facing boarding parties soon," to which the technician nods in response. He wanders back to the bridge to find Chertyl aiding with some clean up. He hands her the other rifle and motions her to follow before going in search some combat-ready crew. [Scouting:
"Shit, that was Gunther Harris. We lost Harris!" announces Zachary Harkin, looking at the stain that was once one of his finest GDI soldiers. With the train that murdered poor Gunther now rolling out like an Autobot on crack, because that makes sense, the GDI forces instead make their rounds to try and kill the Androids instead. [10 v 1+2] Fueled by furor, Zachary himself fires at the Wiki-Warrior in John and strikes three times through the cover. One blast hits his shoulder, while the other two strike his gut. His Android biology keeps him from feeling pain (Additional Trait Discovered), but he is still otherwise beat up as the plasma burns the plastic. [5 v 9+2] The other three ground soldiers fire at the Deviant Leader Markus, bullets casting dust from discarded hits before Markus himself suddenly fires back! [8 v 9] His shot rings wildly, but it sends the otherwise tight group of soldiers into the wider living room. Up above, the attack chopper fires. [8 v 10+2 (Intentional Cover)] However, the loud, loud blasts from the chopper miss the Androids, instead bursting down more of the roof.
Wanting to avoid the sounds of combat altogether, the White Mage grabs the book and aims to sneak away. [Sneak: 10] She manages to escape the library with no fuss. Still trying to avoid combat, she goes off to find a ranged weapon, when suddenly, a shimmering white train stops right by her. Fortunately, thanks to her sneaky demeanor, neither George Blyth nor his congregation notice her, letting her continue to investigate. [Scavenge: 5] All she finds in terms of "ranged weapons" are rocks, however.
Witnessing no strikes against his own person, the King of Castle Peak blinks in surprise. Clearly still expecting something to happen, he checks over his Ice Wall. [Spot: 1] But a thick, icy haze is cast over the area, preventing him from seeing much. "Hmm, I expected my foes to launch an attack, believing me the greatest threat... I suppose they are intimidated by such a display of power," he posits, hand on his chin. Besides an attack chopper blaring to his right and ahead, there isn't even a noise of great struggle. "Lancer, come with me. With the ship and its cannons removed, I believe inside the building will provide much more safety than the roof." His Servant turns into shimmering gold particles waving through the air with a curt nod, while the King himself turns into an incorporeal being of frost, and both wade through the building itself. [Spot: 3] The emptiest room is the relatively empty Mayoral Office, still retaining the area's leader and his cabinet. He is shouting into a phone in Russian while looking through documents. The only English words recognizable to the King are "Holmes", "Sloth", and "Invasion" shouted down the phone line. The two retain corporeality, startling the cabinet.
"We have to go now, John!" shouts Markus as the roof erupts into splinters. Despite the plasma burns, John retains control over himself and nods to Markus and the JB300, looking past Morgan Argencourt in the doorway. [4 v 9] JB300 suddenly charges forth, knife at the ready. Morgan manages to hold it off, allowing Markus and John to sprint past the open doorway. "Let's drive to a safe space and come back for him when there's less heat," John informs Markus, [Escape: 2] as they hop into the car right as Zachary looks back. [8 v 1] He fires through the Driver's Side window, John dodging just in time. Markus is not so lucky, as the plasma scores his face apart, exposing a burnt, blank white plastic against half of his face. In addition, his jaw hangs open, and John drives off before more damage can be done.
Thomas Scott facepalms in exasperation and rattles the doors, floundering around and shouting "Come on, open up! Please!" as Barney tries to hold his cheek together. "We need some help!" [Luck: 2] But no one answers. Distressed, Thomas runs towards a road and waves his hands, shouting basically the same thing to anyone driving into or out of the small town battleground. [Luck: 1] However, not only does he not attract any help, but he actually catches the eye of an opponent to the North end, as the Androids drive right by him.
Popping over her gauntlet and eyeing the battle-battered, smokescreened streets, Yang gives the ammo in Ember Celica a once-over before popping it back closed. She notices the helicopter, loud engines and louder guns cutting through the air like scissors through paper. "Hey, sis? We might want to level the playing field a bit. That thing could be a problem," she informs Ruby, who gives it a check over with her scope. "Yeah, okay. Weiss, Blake, mind keeping us covered?" she asks, to which Blake responds "On it." [Spot: 7] Ruby notes Zachary Harkin, unaware of her presence, coming through the open door of the house the chopper is attacking, rifle at the ready. [9+2 (Sneak Attack) v 9] Zachary aims his rifle at the escaping car, only for a bullet to suddenly push itself through the forearm of his left arm. Blood splatters as Yang takes the chance to fire Dust rounds at the chopper. [2+1 (Aware Sneak Attack) v 5] However, her blasts miss the chopper just barely as it pitches upward in response to the sounds of blasts and their commander getting shot in the arm. [Spot: 10+2 (Faunus Senses)] From behind, Blake notes "One of them is behind us. In the building."
Gritting his teeth, Ethan Daine scrambles away from the person firing Plasma at him. [Sneak: 8] With all the distractions, he manages to get to the bedroom and get out of line out sight. Meanwhile, Morgan continues to fight the JB300. [4 v 3] He manages to sock the fucker in the nose, knocking it away from him a bit.
(Idle) Aeyon watches over his poisoned bolts, waiting for the right moment.
Suddenly, City Hall erupts, as an explosion crashes through the back of the building and a green fog wafts through the air. "What was that?!" Weiss cries out from the front, as within, the King and Lancer, as well as the cabinet, feel a rumble through their bodies. Another assistant bursts in, exiting a cloud of green smoke and choking. She collapses to her knees as blood begins pouring from her eyes and nose, and erupting through her mouth all over the carpet. Meanwhile, another poison gas bomb is set off near George Blyth, further taking his attention away from White Mage. [Stealth: 10]
BSN: The return of the game, Super Sloth, and the Jess Warner Asides!
Anyway, hi! So, so sorry it took so long. I was super busy and messed up recently with a lot of the world's news. But I'm back, and I hope you enjoyed.

At the sound of the explosion and the rather agreeable exclamation from Weiss, I look over my shoulder after launching one more barrage at the helicopter.
"Dunno, but it definitely didn't sound good. Sis?"
"We should see if anyone's caught inside. They might need help. Blake, can you get up high? Keep an eye on things from above?"
"Right. Be careful."
"Okay... Yang? Wanna knock for us?"
With a grin and a menacing chuckle, I crack my knuckles, then go to blow the doors to the hall wide open (or straight off their hinges).

Find some place that we can lose our pursuers, like a parking garage. Maybe one attached to a mall or something. Anywhere we can heal up and recruit. While I drive, Markus should try to convert any nearby androids he can detect.

Classic
Part VI: Super-Sloth
Valdosta, Georgia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Morning, Sunny, 12/18/2020
Gritting his teeth in anger and pain from the bullet in his arm, blood dripping down onto the ground from it's impact across his flesh, Zachary Harkin shouts out "Chopper team! Chase those Machines! I'm finding that sniper!". He waves his good hand for emphasis and points to the road, leading the Chopper to drive off and begin making a beeline for John and Markus. While it does that, him and the soldiers near him bunker down, ignoring the fight between Morgan and the knife-wielding Android as they go for cover. Zachary himself recovers his dead ally Gunther's rifle and pistol for himself, before seeking out the shooter and other Warriors. [Spot: 2] But suddenly, he and every other Warrior in the vicinity is momentarily distracted as the giant spaceship and all evidence of it just...vanish. Into purple lines of code. In the spaceship's place is what appears to be a human with code waving off his body like smoke, who then just as quickly disappears. Meanwhile, the chopper chases after John and Markus and fires [5 v 6], but narrowly destroys the tarmac behind their car during the chase.
After reversing himself, Bishop Blythe turns back to his earliest ally in the man known as Dairou, who is currently looking across to the house where the soldiers have set up shop. [Magic: 8] With a wave of his hands, Dairou is suddenly coated in a light, glowing gold. "You are now a Martyr under God," he says with a smile. "You shall take the brunt of pain from us." Dairou looks at his hands, bathed in the glow, and clenches them. "Alright, but don't expect me to sit back. I'm a Kombatant, fighting is my mission." With that said and done, George sets the train to ram back against the soldiers. [5 v 8] Unfortunately for him, the soldiers all hear the sound of "Come On Over" by Royal Blood playing over the train intercom, which gives them all time to dive to prone out of the way of the train's grille. [7 v 8] Morgan and JB700 are also out of the way. But at least the train didn't crash this time.
After the assistant dies in front of him from the noxious, biological warfare that just transpired, the King of Castle Peak clenches his fist. "Damn! Curse my non-superior senses!" he calls out, incensed at his own lack of foreknowledge as to what just happened. As the mayor of Valdosta and the rest of the governmental cabinet back away from the doors and go for emergency gas masks under the table, he calls Lancer, ready your forces!" as he readies his own shield. Lancer narrows his eyes, before sliding the blade of his spear against his spear as he activates his Noble Phantasm. From the sparks of the blade, three-hundreds ghostly apparitions of Spartans with glowing golden shields surround Lancer and the King, standing vigil as they lie in wait to attack their terrorist. While this happens, the King suddenly feels relief and victory surge through him.
The King managed to outlast Korol Solo! The King gets +1 Point, as well as:
https://enterthegungeon.gamepedia.com/H4mmer: +H4mmer
In his hand is a gun, but not just any gun. A large revolver-type pistol with 30 rounds within it's cylinder. Well, 29. For some odd reason, the last round appears to just be an average, everyday hardware store hammer. Hmm...
Grabbing the rocks and watching as the danger of the train escapes her, the White Mage sighs in relief as she then cautiously enters the town proper. [Stealth: 6] Luckily, no one really sees her, but she's not exactly subtle either. Wearing bright white, even in alleys, could present a problem. [Spot: 1] Problem number two comes when she cannot find a police station. In fact, it's hard to tell if there even is one close by. There's a city hall, so there must be, but it seems they're getting caught up with something. Presumably.
"What was that?" Weiss calls out as all four members of Team RWBY swivel back to check on the building whose porch they are using for cover. Yang turns back and fires one more barrage on the fleeing helicopter [6-2 (Distance) v 8] which misses, and then says "I dunno, but it definitely didn't sound good. Sis?" Ruby unfolds Crescent Rose's blade, and says "We should see if anyone's caught inside. They might need help. Blake, can you get up high? Keep an eye on things from above?" "Right. Be careful," responds Blake, as she begins to climb up onto the roof, [Athletics: 9] and manages to hop up to be a scout. "Okay... Yang? Wanna knock for us?" says Ruby, leading to a menacing chuckle and the crack of biological knuckles from Yang. [Strength: 8] With a thunderous punch, the doors fly open, revealing...carnage. Survivors with rudimentary gas or face masks crouched down against walls or under desks in a government office environment. Some are fine besides their fear, while others are maimed from the explosion, bleeding at the least and missing limbs at most. And the corpses, far more dead than living. [Spot: 8] It appears that survivors and corpses are all that remains. The perpetrator may be in the gas cloud, but it's hard to tell.
Despite the fact that the Androids are driving up the road, followed by a very angry attack chopper, Thomas Scott and Barney still run away from the scene, looking around for some kind of aid. [Luck: 1] However, as the chopper drives past, a volley accidentally heads straight towards Barney [1 v 10] which he somehow dodges, and then he grabs a fearsome looking rock from the ground and hocks it at the chopper! [10 v 5] It strikes at one side of the cockpit, decapping the statue of the Virgin Mary and de-animating her. The chopper begins to lose control from the blow [Control: 2] but the alarm blares as the sole pilot yells out over comms "SUPREME COMMANDER, I'M GOING DOWN! A D-DAMN BEAR-" before crashing [Recovery: 4] in a salvagable wreck, which still kills him instantly. At that moment, the radio station Thomas was trying to get into opens it's door, and a radio tech points to him and gestures to come inside.
As the chopper crashes behind them, John and Markus drive away, in search of shelter to rest and recuperate. [Spot: 9] Just up the road, they manage to find a shopping mall and parking garage close to Outer Valdosta. Outside of which is a rioting, protesting crowd in support of, from the sound of the jeers, Sherlock Holmes? Odd. As John and Markus pull in to the parking garage, they see numerous Androids around for various needs. Valets and drivers and disposable machines to put away groceries. John and Markus park, and Markus gets out first to recruit these Androids. As he does, some idiot shouts in Russian at him, most likely some anti-Android shit. He begins to lay his hand against them, and say things such as "Wake up...you're free." [Recruitment: 10+2 (Successful Spot] Soon, twelve Androids join the fold. Meanwhile, the ally they already have, JB300, recovers from the punch and goes for Morgan with his knife. [3 v 4] Morgan grabs the Android's wrist and deflects the blow.
Morgan then draws his gun and takes advantage of his close proximity. [1+2 (Point Blank) v 5] He presses the gun to the Android's head, but it pushes him back a bit, causing him to waste two rounds in the drywall. As they fight, Morgan, of his own autonomy, suddenly grabs a kitchen knife of his own! [2 v 1] He lands a shallow cut against JB300's cheek. Meanwhile, Ethan Daine hides in the bedroom and searches for more healthcare items. [Spot: 5] He manages to catch some tweezers and painkillers by the bedside table. [Medical: 1+2 (Painkillers)] While he removes the splinters with ease, he is less-than successful with the bullet in his hip. Despite the painkillers helping, the tweezers are just too small to dig in.
[Stealth: 4] In the mist cloud, the King of Castle Peak and Team RWBY can both hear thuds, footsteps. There is someone there...
Just outside of town, two figures emerge from the North out of the upper level of a mall's parking garage. Jazz musicians Monty Alexander and Herbie Hancock get out of a police car and unload a piano and two rifles from the back.
Elsewhere, on the west side of town, a cast spell causes a giant visage of the combatant's head to be visible over the horizon, before vanishing. Putting away his wand, Gilderoy Lockhart steps up proudly.
BSN: And we're back!

“Well, Herb, probably not a regular gig for you this time but I’m sure we can get back to normal soon enough.”
get in the car, look for a music bar in a rough part of town near the docks, woo all the baddies inside with my super duper piano skills, hire some of them for my quest to murder everyone, then get to the submarine.

If you were to send PMs I'd recommend you only do it to the ones that haven't posted yet.

Once again inclined to agree with my teammate's horrified gasp, it takes a second for the shock of the scene to wear off. Once it does, anger takes its place; a familiar fire settling in. Whoever did this is going to pay.
"Ruby."
"R-Right! Uh... we need to get everyone out, and-"
The sound of footsteps from inside the lingering cloud of gas catches our attention. In a flash, Ruby and Weiss have their weapons leveled and ready. When Ruby speaks again, it's much firmer.
"Okay. Listen up! My name's Ruby Rose, and these are my teammates! We're Huntresses, and we're here to help! Everyone who can still run, I really suggest you grab whoever you can and get out! We'll take care of this." She looks to her partner and nods. Weiss nods back; Myrtenaster's revolver spins and locks. Then, a blast of wind Dust bursts forth, hopefully clearing out some of the gas.

Ei, Greatness, how old is my guy? Asking for...reasons that are not at all related to broken ass light spells.
I have no clue. Looking into George Blyth's article, there is no record as to when he was born, or how old he was when he was ordained (in the year 1887) and when he died (in 1914). However, in my mind's eye when writing and re-reading turns, I imagined your character to be around his 40s - 50s.

I say that if they don't post on two weeks, kick'em. It's honestly not that hard to post once a month.
I guess you're right, but I wouldn't want to be rude. But I guess it makes sense. Okay, because Joe is actually usually good about posting, I'll give him another chance. But Leodanny's been radio silent, so I guess I wouldn't have a choice in either case. I'll put him on the Waitlist at the very end of it just to be safe.
Can I replace an inactive player or at least be put on next round's waitlist?
You'll be on the Waitlist, but you can still appear this match! Just gotta wait until it moves up to ya. :)

Classic
Part VII: Toxins
Valdosta, Georgia, United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Morning, Sunny, 12/18/2020
The Phantom Steam Train comes to a stop, just as, well, not planned but it's very serendipitous. As it does with a hiss of steam exiting the vehicle into the aether, George Blyth notes that the train has stopped indoors, and from the front of the transport, he can see the soldiers, the mercenary, and the Android all there. Thus, he waves his hands and casts "Prismatic Light!" on these heretics. [Magic: 2] Unfortunately, after casting such a powerful spell on Dairou, it seems his next spell is a bit drained. It still connects to the JB300 Android, but only barely [2-2 v 1] and it not only does nothing, but after noticing the shining burn against his plastic, he turns from fighting Morgan Argencourt to throwing his knife right at George Blyth! [3 v 5] Unfortunately, this heat of the moment strike only serves to disarm him as it misses. George ducks before casting "Hour of Power!" on his followers. [Magic: 9] A clock seems to chime as, for an hour, his followers suddenly feel stronger and faster! [Magic: 3] He then tries to summon a Light Elemental, producing just a small wisp. Still, his followers leap out, all of them using their swords on the Android and CICADA mercenary. [6+3 (Heroism and Bless]+2 (Six on One) v 1] The JB300 is ripped to shreds, decapitated instantly before the followers proceed to cut the body into grisly pieces, splattering them in the blue blood of Thirium. [Escape: 7 v 9+2 (Haste}] Morgan attempts to flee the area, but the followers catch up on him [10+3+2 v 6] and with Rollan's first strike, his entrails spill out on the ground, which he slips on, leaving him prone as they, once again, chop his body into pieces.
[6+2 (Squad of Soldiers) v 5+2 (Shield)+1 (Stone Skin)] The Soldiers under Zachary Harkin's command aim to fire on the now super-human Catholics, firing rounds at them over and over. However, the bullets either seem to slow by magic or just bounce off, causing no damage thanks to their buffs. Fortunately, they don't seem to notice mid-massacre. Instead, [Medicine: 8+2 (First Aid Kit)] as Zachary uses up his first aid kit to staunch his bleeding and pop some adrenaline (+2 to all rolls for this turn), he looks outside for a car they can use. [Spot: 1+2] They don't find any, however. If there even were a lot of civilians here, they're gone now. Most cars are over by City Hall and that looks like a hellhole. Instead, [Stealth: 1] they completely botch all attempts to get out stealthily, causing George Blyth to see them and begin pointing them out to his followers. With all options gone, Zachary uses his radio to contact his helicopter...there is only static at the other end. The helicopter may still be intact, but it's out of the fight.
Ego runs high as the most fantastic Wizard to have ever lived, Gilderoy Lockhart, arrives! Sure, aurors may be on his case later for using his magic in a muggle competition, but with his usage of memory charms, perhaps he can get away with it. So secure in his odds of victory, he hops onto his broomstick and takes the skies, hoping to find more of his fellow warriors to start the battle off strong! [Spot: 7] While high in the skies, he spots a puny Muggle military stack-up! Their technology appears futuristic, but he doesn't know for sure. Still, Gilderoy swoops in in a flash, and flashes a spell! [6 v 10] "Alarte Ascendare!" Gilderoy casts. Quickly thinking, Zachary turns and holds up Gunther's Raptor rifle to shield the blow. Hit by a burst of light, the rifle suddenly shoots up into the air, far out of his hands, at an alarming rate. Countering, Zachary pulls his Falcon on the wizard. [6-2 (Moving Target)+2 (Adrenaline Shot) v 8] Firing a single shot, it narrowly dodges Gilderoy, whizzing across his ear as he begins flying erratically.
Going towards the dank, trashy alleys of Valdosta, the White Mage begins hunting for a disguise. Bright white is instantly noticeable, even in a crowd. So, she begins looking for anything that can help. Rags, loose clothes, etc. Anything that could be useful. [Spot: 7] Luckily, she finds some ratty, though still usable, clothes in a bin behind a house. They're more muted shades, perfect for being less notable at a glance. Surely, someone may still notice she's not human on closer examination, but that would require being more closely examined in the first place. With that done, the White Mage starts to head out to the commercial district of Valdosta, seeking some form of gun shop or pawn shop. [Search: 10] She begins to make her trek up North, finding Valdosta to be quite a bit bigger than was previously thought. Fortunately, just close by, "Valdosta Pawn" was opening. Guns, other weapons, and various trinkets and other such things were within the Pawn Shop. In addition, White Mage discovers something that really should have been obvious: this wasn't Russia. This was the Georgia in the US. The small town they started in just seemingly had quite a few Russian and Georgian immigrants.
Blue eyes narrow, staring into a green fog of toxicity as the last few vestiges of life are choked out. The King snarls and gestures regally with his hand, sweeping it across his sightline and seemingly in defiance of the intimidating spread of the poison. "You think you can hide from the King of Castle Peak, fiend? Well, you cannot!" he declares as he presses his hands together and begins channeling Mana through them. [Magic: 9] A small, magically enhanced localized field of frosted, chilled air emerges through them and he pulls them away to reveal almost a small blizzard within his grasp. With a small chant, in English and speaking "Let the cold bind you,", he casts it against the clouds of poison, pushing them aside. [Spot: 6 v Stealth: 1] Immediately, the vile fiend is visible as the poison seems to dissipate...he's horrifying. Both him and Team RWBY at the entrance can see this vile humanoid figure, green in color with tattered, wrinkled skin. He appears to have had a nose, through it was blown off, and he only has one eye forever staring out of a permanently open-socket. Lancer immediately makes an attack, hurling his shield at the aggressor. [2 v 9] It flies like a discus at this creature, only for him to casually tilt his head to the side and let it whiz past before embedding itself in the wall. The Spartans keep defending the King and Lancer.
With a small frown, Monty and Herbie look at eachother, and Monty begins to put the piano back as he slings the Garand over his shoulder. "Well, Herb, probably not a regular gig for you this time but I’m sure we can get back to normal soon enough," he reassures his Sideman as they load the piano back into the car. "Oh, I'm not worried about regular gigs. It's the riff-raff that can get concerning." Monty nods as the two load back up into the car. "Then it sounds like we need some bodyguards." The two start driving out, ignoring the sounds of anarchy behind them as they begin driving to the nearest bar. There aren't actually any docks, as they are in the South of the state of Georgia, [Spot: 4] but they do fortunately spot a bar west of the city in Troupville. When they park and enter, they see a dingy little joint, not exactly filled with people due to it being in the Morning. They load out their piano and start a ditty. [Piano Music: 5+2] Their skills manage to charm some of the rougher customers, though most of them ignore it. They seem willing to negotiate. [Persuasion: 4+2 (Charmed)] "Pardon me, sirs, you wouldn't happen to want to rough some people up?" Monty asks. The three men who managed to step up nod to eachother. "Don't mind a good fight," one of them says. "But we're gonna need payment by the time we're done." With that settled, the five load up in the car and start driving towards the Submarine: in Fernandina Beach, north of Jacksonville, Florida.
The sight of what can only be described as a massacre draws a horrified gasp from Weiss Schnee's lips, a soft "Oh...gods..." slipping past as the smell of corpses and poison fill the air. Even Blake, who is on the roof and watching the soldiers Ruby sniped at earlier as they begin firing blindly at some kinda wizard or something, appears to catch a whiff of the vile scent and covers her nose and mouth to keep from inhaling more. Once the shock of it all fades away, Anger fills Yang's heart. Raw rage overtakes shock as she can feel the tips of her hair begin to go ablaze with sparking Aura. "Ruby..." She sounds close to snapping. Ruby, unable to tear her eyes away from the act, nervously nods. "R-Right! Uh...we need to get everyone out and-" And then they can hear the footsteps. Immediately, Ruby and Weiss have their weapons drawn and readied. When Ruby speaks again, she sounds authoritative. "Okay. Listen up! My name's Ruby Rose, and these are my teammates! We're Huntresses, and we're here to help! Everyone who can still run, I really suggest you grab whoever you can and get out! We'll take care of this." The two nod at eachother, and Weiss casts out a bit of Dust, just a bit of Wind to clear out the gas. Together with the King, it dissipates, and the civilians come running and yelling out as Team RWBY sees the monster behind this. After a shield embeds itself in the wall behind it, it turns to face the girls at the door. "...Nine people once said they could take care of me...they failed."
Markus, John, and the Androids they recruited start to pool their resources together to try and fix up the former two, but before they do, they swap out the magazines to their pistols. With that done, the Twelve start by pulling the glass shards out of John's back, before moving to Markus's face. [Repair: 5] They are able to clear some of the remaining slag and swap out his faceplate with one in a Cyberlife Repair Kit carried by one, who by his suit, seems to have been portable maintenance. It, however, doesn't seem to have a working skin layer, so Markus's face is half human and half-Android.
The creature, the Super-Sloth, suddenly digs his hands into his mouth, slipping them into the gaping maw with the gross sound of choking on his digits, before pulling out two green, almost glowing green, orbs. In a flash, he hurls one of these orbs upwards, and then throws the other one right at Team RWBY! [7 v 4] The one upwards detonates like a bomb, blowing open the ceiling and letting more toxic gas seep in. Blake, while unaffected by the explosion, loses her footing and lands prone as the building is rocked. The gas hits the Spartans first, charging the Noble Phantasm even as they appear sicker. [5 v 5] The other flies right past Ruby, Weiss, and Yang, and shatters the ground in an explosion of debris and green, noxious gas. [7 v 4] With that accomplished, he suddenly lets out this deep, baritone roar and charges right at Ruby! She hoists Crescent Rose up to defend herself, but Super-Sloth tackles her into the cloud of gas...and then they're both just gone. Almost as if they had teleported...
And teleport they did! Suddenly arriving in the now cleared-out south of Valdosta, westward about seventy-five miles from the Valdosta Airport, Ruby takes a bit of Aura damage from the tackle, brief exposure to the gas, and now this rough landing as she is thrown from another, larger fogcloud. (29-22) She stands up, Crescent Rose at the ready, as Super-Sloth steps through calmly as though he was unaffected by his own charge. In response to this weapon that she's drawn, he draws his own: a single-shot Shotgun loaded with explosive, poison rounds. He is also, now visibly in the sunlight, armored. This may be a tough fight.
Thomas, Barney, and Ethan Daine all disappear into purple code as their players manage to exit the game...
In their place comes two new warriors...firstly, from the waves of Rapture, a strange, ADAM addicted man emerges near Troupville with a masquerade ball mask over his face with his genetics themselves screaming out. This is The Splicer, a mix of a Leadhead and a Spider, who has come to claim the ADAM of his competitors.
Meanwhile, at the airport arrives Muse's lead singer Matt Bellamy, with a bow and arrow slung over his shoulder and the equipment of a Spy in his jacket. He is ready to win at all costs, and seeks to perform three objectives: win the Warfare, overthrow the System, and kill the RED Pyro hot on his tracks.
BSN: SORRY! I'm so sorry for the delays and radio silence. The past while has been troubling for me for mental health reasons and I neglected everything. Doesn't help that fiction, in particular RWBY, bummed me out a bit recently. But I'm here now!

"Ruby!"
I reach out to my little sister half a second too late; my hand closes around empty air. Beside me, Weiss looks around, bewildered.
"What in the world...?"
Shock and panic rolls back into a familiar, steady anger; burning away the ice in my gut, and sharpening everything into focus. I swivel on my heel and head back outside into clearer air.
"Weiss. Blake and I can handle things here. Go find Ruby."
"On it."
Meanwhile, Ruby does her best to shake off the confusion of the sudden teleport and swings Crescent Rose around behind her into a practiced ready stance, taking a steadying breath. Okay. I can do this. She smiles, confidence radiating off the young Huntress. Her finger slides to her scythe's trigger. Another breath, and... BANG! She charges, twirling the weapon around in a deadly arc.

Once in Jacksonville, make our way to the submarine. Look out for a few places interested in some naval history, ask, subtly, if they know anyone interested in purchasing some torpedoes.
If we manage to find someone interested, sell some torpedoes! Enough to buy a bar fit for a musical kingpin, and fit it up nicely into a base of operations, and weapons to outfit the beginnings of my crew.
Also continue our little charming music routine and attempt to recruit a few more heavies to my side.
Also look out for bars frequented by local law enforcement. Encourage them to look the other way when my guys eventually start doing crime and such. There will be a lot of it. Should this fail, use The Serpent to escape unmolested.
((How do you intend for The Serpent to work, by the way? Just complete invisibility, bonuses to stealth and such like?))

It is invisibility that gives a bonus to stealth. Think light refractions, like the Predator.

Command the soldiers (and Dairou) to finish off Zacharias and his men while holy power surges through them still. Then cast Paralyze (https://mightandmagic.fandom.com/wiki/Light_Magic_(MM8)/Spells#Paralyze)on the flying warlock and watch as his arrogance to place himself on the same level as a servant of God himself brings him down.

sorry for not responding, I've been caught up in doing a whole lot of things and just recently I've had to move over to a temporary computer as my primary one is on its last legs.
First off, I'd assume that switching to Lancer will both dispel the army and lose the charge gained from the gas?
It's all good, Failbird! Life happens. And yes, let's assume that switching from Lancer to Archer will dispel the Noble Phantasm instead of keeping the charge.
((Could I request a wiki to be added to the list of wikis?))
Sure! There's not really a defined "list" but if you wanna bring a wiki to my attention, I'd be glad to keep it in mind.

((I'mma request Warhammer, Bleach and Godzilla wikis in the future then. Maybe for one of those "anything goes" gamemodes?))
I can work with those! Though, every game mode is "anything goes", unless I'm forgetting ones that are more chaotic than the rest.

"As for you three, I believe there were four of you before yes? Than the monster took one of you. I can't claim to know where too, but if you can get it within line of sight of this building I will ensure it regrets drawing my ire."
Wait for those who are going to leave to do so(including potentially WBY), then freeze the hole shut.

Yeah sorry I've been late all the time. You can definitely drop/replace me tbh. I've been in a bit of an irritating situation recently.
It happens, man, no worries! Here's hoping you'll be back one day! Door's always open. :)
In the meanwhile, ArchimedesWojak will join in, and the new turn will be up shortly.

Really glad someone is keeping the WW legacy going.
Happy to do it, hiatus be damned! :)
You know, Roseheart, if you wanna play, you can! Waitlist is always open, even if a player left a match in-progress, or was in a match in-progress when the previous game was cancelled.
Anyway, sorry for the delays! Pretty much right when I said I'd be updating the game, I came down with a wicked cold. So, that kinda sapped precious motivation, XD. I'll restart work on it ASAP!

Part VIII: Smokescreen
Valdosta, Georgia, United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valdosta,_Georgia)
Morning, Sunny, 12/18/2020
"Ruby!" cries out Yang Xiao Long, as her fingers wrap around cold air. Only a second too late, as Ruby is tackled into the green cloud of poison and vanishes from sight. Bewildered, Weiss looks on with weapon drawn and eyes wide, asking "W-What in the world...?" as she looks on. The raw feeling of panic and worry fades to the burning rage that Yang knows so well. Her eyes snap from lilac to red, and even as the three of them regenerate their Auras from being out of danger (Aura Regen: 2), it's not only not much, but it doesn't change the fact that Ruby is in danger. Swiveling onto her heel, Yang steps out with thunderous steps into the clear outside air. "Weiss," Yang says in a cold, almost tranquil fury, "Blake and I can handle things here. Go find Ruby." Weiss nods, and runs off to try and locate their leader and the monster that took her. [Spot: 7] Luckily, there seems to be some kind of faint trail in the air. Small traces of the fog leading a ways away, south of here. It'll take her a bit to reach Ruby, but she is at least able to be tracked.
Speaking of, Ruby herself stands face to face with the disfigured terrorist himself, the embodiment of Sloth. Shaking off the confusion and "mental cobwebs", as it were, Ruby readies Crescent Rose behind her with a twirl and takes a deep breath. "You've got this," she thinks, "Okay...I can do this!" Ruby smiles confidently, and readies her finger on the trigger. With another breath, she fires, and the recoil launches her with a spinning strike against Super-Sloth! [2+2 (Speed) v 7] She has a second to realize his eyes have widened before he leaps back out of the blade's path, kicking up dust as Ruby misses. Super-Sloth smirks with yellowed teeth, and quickly wags his finger mockingly.
Now having been spotted by the crowd of six powerful Christians wielding the blades of the Lord Almighty, with no helicopter to aid CASEVAC and no car to get clear out of dodge, Zachary Harkin quickly realizes the only option is to bunker the hell down and focus fire on the good Bishop Blythe's covenant. [Take Cover: 4] Unfortunately, the only cover within the area of the poor home that's turned into a blood bath is just to stack up beyond the doorway and under the windows (+2 to Defense against ranged weapons), meaning they're still close to the blade wielding clergymen. Still, they gear up arms, and fire! [8+2 v 8+3 (Stone Skin/Shield)] With a barrage of hot lead, the GDI soldiers open fire, nailing shots on them from their vantage points. However, the Holy magic just wins out, stopping the bullets and bouncing them off. It still clearly rocks them from the kinetic force, but no wounds appear on their bodies, and in their place is a golden glow. [Misfire: 9] Suddenly, Zachary and poor Gunther's Raptor rifle lands on the ground and fires [Accuracy: 6] right into one of the windows of the house, shattering the glass.
Monty Alexander has a plan, but suddenly, his player jacks out of the virtual matrix and he and Herbie Hancock disappear. In their place, the rough and tumble bar bursts into purple flame with the occupants trapped inside. Out of the wreckage walks the ghost, code still wafting off his body. Clean up has just begun. [Thank you for playing, Hector13!]
While Zachary and his men are distracted by the precarious papacy within the small suburban home, the wavering Wizard known as the great Gilderoy Lockhart continues to fly around until he's sure the attention of the Muggle soldiers is off of him. With that done, he suddenly swoops in and vocalizes "Petrificus Totalus!" as he points his wand right at Zachary Harkin himself. [3 v 8] With a subtle spark of silvery energy, the spell flies towards Harkin quickly, only to start to fall from the distance. It lands short and hits open grass, which suddenly shoots up still and falls flatly to the wind instead of the breeze pushing it aside. [Spot: 9] Despite the threat in the house, one of Harkin's soldiers notices. "Sir! The mage is still in the air!" says the soldier, Lt. Fairway. "There's four of us! Perhaps two of us should deal with him?"
With a sneer, face-to-face with the next two victims of the Lord's Judgement, Bishop George Blyth pulls out his blade and readies it before pointing it, tip first, at the door and windows that previously blasted his coven full of the lead of mortal firearms. "Remove those soldiers of darkness from our land, my children. I shall handle the witch above," He says as softly as a sermon, only for his men to let out a battle cry of courage and charge, with Dairou patiently following after them bare-handed. [10+3 (Heroism/Bless) v 2] The first two, Mili and Rollan, move through the open door just as the soldier taking cover by it with Zachary himself raises his sidearm. Mili grabs his wrist and then drives his blade through the man's elbow before twisting the blade until the arm is ripped off by the sword being ripped away. He screams, only for his cries to be cut short by Rollan moving in and stabbing his own sword through the soldier's brain. [6+3 v 2] Lt. Fairway, meanwhile is suddenly kicked hard in the stomach by Luchok as he moves through the window, before Inessa makes her own dive through and drives her blade directly through Fairway's left kneecap, crippling his leg and pinning him to the ground. [4+3 v 1] Valya, all on her own, move through the other window and immediately tanks a shot to her shoulder by the last soldier before simply socking him in the face, using her holy might to break his jaw. Finally, Dairou steps through the house as Zachary moves away from it to give himself space between him and the coven. Dairou, former guard of the Orderrealm, readies into a combat stance. [7 v 7] With a kick into the air, a three-pronged blast of mystical energy known as the Iron Leg flings through the air towards Zachary. With a dive onto the grass, Zachary manages to dodge as it hurls itself through the clear skies. Meanwhile, through all of this, George Blyth slowly steps outside and raises his hand up towards Gilderoy Lockhart. [Magic: 9] [Impact: 4] Suddenly, Gilderoy's joints seem to lock up on him, before he and his broomstick fall towards the ground. With a thud and a cloud of dirt, Gilderoy lands on the ground shoulder-first, bruising it and splitting the skin for a minor cut that soaks through his white undershirt.
Having only just now entered the competition, his genes burning in his body as the ADAM courses through non-Euclidean veins, the Splicer awakens in the fields of Troupville just by the road, and smiles as he begins to walk. Putting his nose to the ground, The Splicer looks for either a gene clinic, or the closest thing that can pass for it. [Spot: 8] Fortunately, as he wanders down South, he comes across a hastily stapled map of the area with a big red circle around Remerton with the words "DON'T GO HERE!" in red by their side. To the south is Remerton itself, what seems to be a suburban area within the main city of Valdosta itself. If there's some kind of laboratory, it would be there. Alternatively, up north is a prison. While not a laboratory, and far more morally incorrect, it would also draw far less attention if ADAM-harvesting and experiments were to take place in the hall of the condemned. Decisions, decisions...
Entering the Valdosta Pawn immediately as it's doors open, the White Mage can see an older, larger gentleman behind the counter, cleaning the front desk with a small tower. [Spot: 7-2 (Casual Glance)] He seems to catch something off about White Mage's body type, being that she's shorter than most normal humans with a slight slouch, but he really doesn't seem to care as he gives a small smile and a nod. "How can I help you?" he asks as the White Mage looks around. [Spot: 9] Luckily, there seems to be an obvious way to distract him: one of the cars out in front of the pawn shop invariably has to be his. Set off the alarm there, and he'll be forced to run out to see the damage. However, before White Mage can do so, she can see someone walk past her out the window. A...man? Or perhaps a woman, someone in a red-colored firesuit, carrying a flamethrower, sweeps across the window. [Sneak v Spot: 10 v 4] Fortunately, the disguise means the Pyro doesn't notice that White Mage is a Wiki-Warrior, and so they walk off.
It's hard not to feel like you're in the presence of a rock legend as the lead singer of Muse, Matt Bellamy, steps out of an airplane in the Valdosta airport with a bow and a quiver full of arrows slung over his back. As he emerges, he sees emergency vehicles and even some military perusing around; it seems that instead of actively stopping the Wiki-Warriors, a disastrously bad idea if ever there was one considering their arcane power and technology, the government, police, medics, and firefighters are instead forcing evacuations and defending the airport from incoming attack. Fortunately, none of them seem to pay any mind to Matt, probably because they're hoping he'll leave. Once he's on the ground, he begins to look across the tarmac to see if he can find ammo for his various weapons. [Spot: 10] Amidst the dropped luggage of the hastily evacuated, Matt easily finds twenty-four more rounds for his revolver, and twelve more arrows! Those are sure to come in handy. After procuring these, he decides to look for the Pyro that's chasing him. [Spot: 10] He can see, with a clear eye, that the Pyro isn't there. But he has a clue as to where the Pyro is; a nearby cop answers a call on his radio. "Copy...a pyromaniac in Remerton? You sure? Okay, I'll go scope the area out. Keep the rest of us evacuating people." He begins to head to his car, right in eyesight of Matt Bellamy.
With a sneer across his features, the King of Castle Peak steps out from the cleared cloud of noxious gas, alongside Lancer and his still-activated Noble Phantasm. Looking around the survivors by the entrance, and Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long, he speaks to them in a deep, but quiet, baritone. "A clever creature... given even a moments reprieve and it escapes. All of you, if you don't want to be sealed in this building when I freeze the hole over, leave now." The masked and panting survivors both nod and flee, running out into the streets of Tom Town, Valdosta with adrenaline in their beings. Blake jumps down by Yang's side as the King begins to conjure Ice Magic in his hands."As for you three, I believe there were four of you before yes? Than the monster took one of you. I can't claim to know where too, but if you can get it within line of sight of this building I will ensure it regrets drawing my ire." He then regards the two of them, before beginning to seal up the hole in the ceiling. [Magic: 6] The ice creates a thin cover over that hole, before he moves to the blown open doors of the entrance, waiting to see if BY stay or go.
Just as Markus' revolution begins to make stride, they suddenly begin disappearing into purple code. The last thing they see before their player is disconnected is the warped smile of what appears to be a Ghost in the Machine. [Thank you for playing, Person!]
On the backswing of Ruby's deadly scythe slash, the unwounded Super Sloth retaliates by aiming his Single Shotgun at the girl. "Clever girl," he responds to the attack, before pulling the trigger and firing the firearm at Ruby. [1 v 4] Using up a bit of her Semblance, Ruby shifts into rose petals, dodges the blast, then reconstitutes herself quick enough to be ready to strike again. Quickly, Super Sloth sling the shotgun over his shoulder and pulls a new toy out of a hip holster: a Karambit combat knife. He spins it around his index finger, then bolts towards Ruby. [8 v 10] Ruby very nearly gets caught with the blade against her chin, but she manages to tip her head back just in time to avoid the slash. [8 v 2] With his free hand, he suddenly shoves her back with his diseased palm against her shoulder, [Balance: 5] making her stand on uneven footing as she recovers.
Suddenly, every Wiki-Warrior sees the sun dim suddenly. The moon begins to hang high in the sky as a terrible, thick fog exudes over their surroundings. Hooks begin to burst from the ground, hanging and dangling, waiting for fresh meat. In the Mud Swamp, to the Southwest of Valdosta proper, a figure emerges. Three bear traps are lugged around in it's stitched-up bag, and this figure is carrying around a large meat cleaver. The Entity has come calling for the Souls of the Wiki-Warriors, and the former Evan MacMillan, now simply known as The Trapper, has come to sacrifice those Souls to it's dark and accursed realm. [Welcome, ArchimedesWojak!]
BSN: I'M BACK! I'm so sorry for all the delays! Lots of stuff was out of my hands. Lack of motivation, depression, computer was being fucky. All sorts of things got in the way, and I'm sorry for making y'all wait so long! But I'm back! Hope you are, too! Let's jam!

(Dayum, the Trapper is shockingly impactful to the state of this game. Well, as said, I will in fact be waiting for Edelweiss before making my action. Does... does that effect apply for all Allies? Because there's some people here who have quite a few of those that are real easy game)
No, just allies that are part of Articles, as those tend to be strong enough to essentially be Wiki-Warriors, themselves. So, taking George Blyth (DEMON) as an example: Dairou would provide two points, but his coven would provide no points.
Allies already usually don't provide any points (see NRDL's soldiers), though, so I'm thinking of editing it to just be Wiki-Warriors. I was tired when I finished the turn, so my judgement may have been off.

Holy shit, I forgot I was running a game on here. Uh, sorry? I have no idea if the game is dead or not, like, if anyone wants to keep playing this?
If not, I'll probably make a new Wiki-Warfare in a new thread, no harm done. Wiki-Warfares don't typically finish anyway, so there's no shame in it. At the end of the day, it's a hobby, not a full-on novel.
But if people still wanna play, I'll keep working on the turn for this! I'm flexible. Just would like some words, reactions, and responses on how to proceed. Thanks for your patience!

Gritting his teeth, feeling like he's been staring daggers into Dairou's eyes for almost a full year by this point as his feet are seemingly rooted to the soil, Zachary Harkin flicks his eyes towards the pretentious bastard who's buffed their enemies so heavily and so shamelessly. His tongue flicks over his lip, before he quickdraws his sidearm from his holster with his right hand and quickly points it behind Dairou, right towards George Blyth himself! [4 v 3] The crack of a suppressed gunshot hits their ears before a bullet suddenly lodges itself into the back of the Pious Man's right hand. He grunts and grits his teeth, before grinning as Martyr takes effect. Dairou grunts as his right hand begins to bleed heavily, and Zachary watches as the lead of his bullet seems to fall right out of George Blyth's skin. "Damn this bishop, he's using some kinda witchcraft himself! Fairway, Torn, focus fire on him until the prick in front of me dies!" he yells out, to which Torn only grunts as his lower jaw hands uselessly towards the ground. [10 v 7+3] He tries to check Valya with the butt of his rifle, before she deftly dodges and readies another strike. Before she swings her blade, though, he fires at Blyth. [7 v 4] A single bullet leaves his rifle and sinks itself into George's gut, before the wound mystically transfers to Dairou. Coughing up a bit of blood, he sinks down on one knee. Fairway, however, can't quite reach to George himself. So, instead, he pulls out his Falcon and shoots at round at Inessa, the woman who broke his leg. [7 v 1] His shot hits true in her chest, knocking her to the ground. Zachary watches as that bullet also transfers to Dairou, sending the Seidan onto his back as he growls in pain.
Healed of his wounds thanks to Martyr, but still feeling the vestiges of phantom pain, the good Bishop George Blyth pats down the front of his robe and watches with a stoic frown as his flock is attacked by the remaining GDI soldiers. With a wave of his hand, he declares "Kill them, my flock! Kill them before they kill Dairou and before the spell runs out! Leave the warlock to me!" The Flock nod their heads as one, before Valya takes the swing with her blade. [4+3 v 8] She throws a downward swing of her blade, but it is blocked by Cpl. Torn's rifle and parried aside. Meanwhile, Luchok and Inessa go to finish off Fairway [10+6 (two Attacks) v 10-2 (Crippled)] Luchok moves back to Fairway and stabs him in the chest, the blade piercing his heart and squirting blood against the blessed steel. Coughing, Fairway convulses as Inessa tears her sword out from his leg and chops downward, relinquishing the already dying soldier of his head. Finally, Mili and Rollan charge towards Harkin, ready to rescue and/or avenge Dairou. Mili arrives first, swinging his sword at Zachary [5+3 v 5] and slashing it through his side. Zachary pushes the blade out and shoves Mili away before Rollan moves in with a thrust [4+3 v 9] which is deflected by Zachary grabbing the blade and weakly pushing Rollan onto the ground as he begins to bleed. Right then and there, the Hour of Power fades while Blyth moves on to attack Lockhart, who is laying Paralyzed and Defenseless. [2 v 0 (Paralyzed)] Calmly raising his blade like an executioner, he drives it down towards Gilderoy, only to misjudge his swing and instead chop into the wizard's left shoulder, leaving both of his arms injured.
With an obvious bit of trepidation in her stance considering the appearance of the fire-suit clad man (or woman?) walking down the street, full Flamethrower in hand just a moment ago, the White Mage takes a deep breath in before looking back to the pawn shop owner and pulling the ring off of her finger. "W-Will this be a good trade for a rifle and some ammo?" she asks in her deep, husky voice. [Convince: 2] The owner, though giving an apologetic smile, waves his hand immediately. "Sorry, ma'am, I only do cash around here. A weapon isn't worth a simple ring."
Having listened in on the conversation from the cop on the tarmac, Matt Bellamy knows where he has to go: "Remerton", a part of Valdosta, Georgia. The Pyro is likely skulking around there because they picked up the scent. Running down the tarmac, he looks for a way to get into the place proper considering the airport is under evac-control, and thus a severe lockdown. [Spot: 10] While walking and moving through the area, he stops when he notices a man on his phone, looking disgruntled as he sits in a black Nissan. Tapping on the window, the man bolts up, but rolls it down. "Yeah?" he asks simply. "Pardon, but I need to head into Remerton," he explains. "You know a way into the city?" The man sighs. "Well...the main road is locked off...I know a place, but with the cops having the place on Lockdown, there's no guarantee we can make it back here. I'm supposed to be on the plane out with my daughter. My wife's got her." Matt Bellamy nods. "I feel ya, I feel ya...but if you get me in, I can take the threat down. I know where they are." [Convince: 9] The man leans her head back on the seat in thought. "...Okay, hop in. Backseat." Matt grins and sits down behind the man. "I'm George. I live next-door to this area in Valdosta full of Russian immigrants, no idea what that's all about," he introduces, as he begins drive through what appears to be an employee parking zone, with the cops too busy to track that his car doesn't belong there. "Remerton, you said? Alright."
Feeling the Paralysis fading away, and hearing the bishop above him grunt and grumbles as he polishes off his blade to try and ready for another strike, Gilderoy Lockhart smiles widely and grips tightly onto his broom with his left hand. Blyth looks down in surprise, an angry noise tearing itself from his throat, as Gilderoy shouts "ALARTE ASCENDARE!" Immediately, he and his broom are mystically thrown upwards into the air. While soaring through the sky, Lockhart moves his ailing body atop the broomstick, and begins flying on it again despite the way his own blood drips down both of his sleeves.
Slowly blinking, staring aghast at a sign that dares tell him what to do, is the Splicer. He clenches his free hand and shakes the resulting fist at the map as his forgotten ally, a single, simple sheep, trots next to him and looks up at his resulting rant. "Don't go here?! DON'T GO HERE?! Listen here, you land-dwellin' layabouts! I'm a goddamned genetic engimen...enjaminin...engineeringer! Do I look like I heed God's warnings, much less Man's?! NAY!" he shouts, before stomping southward towards Remerton. "Tools before test subjects. That's what I always say, Mr. Baary. Tools before test subjects. It's a common saying in Georgia. Well, it's a common saying in Washington, but I bet you five Dollars, they say it in Georgia, too!" he tells his sheep, which just trots beside him. He's too far gone to even realize it's a female sheep. As he enters into Remerton proper, he takes a look at the Suburbia. It's dry, boring, shops everywhere, and there's some kind of human in a red suit skulking around with a flamethrowin' device in their hands. Not a genetic engineering lab, though. No, that is likely to be around this neighborhood's local school, if anywhere, or so says his intuition, which is never wrong. [Intuition: 6] Never wrong...
((Auto'd)) Yang and Blake look at eachother, and then back at the being of ice. A light dusting of blue and white is overtaking his human-like skin, and there is a regality about him unmatched by anything else in Remnant. "Sure, go ahead. If it comes back to the scene of the crime, we'll take it out!" Yang declares. "Just...hopin' Ruby's okay..." The duo step out of the hole, now willing to let the King of Castle Peak shut the intrusion. [Spot: 5+2 (Previous Successful Track] Meanwhile, Weiss keeps tracking the beast, careful to cover her nose when the toxins in the air seem to be getting too potent. She's almost there...
With Yang and Blake out of the way, The King of Castle Peak nods to them, and begins to use his Cryokinesis to freeze over the walls to City Hall. Hands up high, they are bathed in white light as his hands seem to completely freeze over, before he thrusts his hands out and casts an ice wall against the destruction in sight. [Cryokinesis: 2] It's the bare minimum, only enough to really keep the gas in the building more than any sort of real fortification, but it's good enough for now.
((Out)) The radio silence of the ArchimedesWojack lifts the Entity's curse, and the Trapper fades away.
((Auto'd)) [4 v 6] Keeping light on her unsteady feet, Ruby roots herself to the ground quickly before dashing forth, only to just narrowly miss Super-Sloth as he rolls to the side. Pocketing his Karambit, Super-Sloth then reaches back into his throat and slowly pulls out two more rapidly unstable poison bombs. Rather than attacking Ruby, however, he instead chucks them to the sides, letting them blow up into hazes of green, toxic gas. [Knowledge: 7] Ruby gasps as she realizes what these are: escapes. He can teleport through the gas and emerge back wherever he needs to, whether she dies or claims the upper hand. Super-Sloth grabs the Karambit again right as Ruby slams the blade of Crescent Rose into the ground and prepares to fire. [9 v 7] A loud bang signals the escape of a massive round as it cleaves through the side of Super-Sloth's stomach. Growling, he bolts towards Ruby, spilling green blood all the while. [7 v 2] Ruby raises Crescent Rose, only for Super-Sloth to jump onto the gun and tackle her, before slamming her head against the ground. Her Aura takes a big hit as he mounts her, raising his hands up to prepare ground and pound. Hand-to-Hand, her only weakness.
Over the return of the sunlight and the horizon, two new Warriors step forth to oppose the rest of their kin.
In Remerton, the new face on conflict, a Colombian humans-right activist and scholars polishes off his katana, before viewing his grinning face in the reflection.
Meanwhile, in Troupeville, a seemingly normal bicyclist is riding down the road, except he is flanked by a ghostly red Lion, keeping pace with him.
BSN: SO! WE BACK! Sorry it took so long. I had computer troubles, ADHD, birthdays and shit, all sorts of things to keep track of. Plus burn-out and everything. Big oops on all my parts.
So...why am I kicking Archimedes and leaving in Edel. Is it because "oh, she's my friend, she gets special treatment?"
No, it's because she just talked to me about it, asked to be skipped, and explained why she couldn't submit an action. Meanwhile, Archimedes disappeared into Agartha. I'll let you keep playing if you give me a reason for being tardy, it's just a forum game, lol
So, Archimedes out, Hector13 and BlackPaladin in! Welcome, have a seat, have fun!
I hope this was worth the wait.

I didn’t even think of that! I was thinking more about spending a good 10 seconds lining up a jump in a special level for the chaos emeralds only to hit one of those bumpers, with a horribly obnoxious POONG sound, and you go flying off into a GOAL! and exit the level.
Sonic Spinbalk would be awesome though!

wait... whats this game mode?
Classic. Respawns and coming in from the Waitlist are allowed, and to win, you must accrue ten points by either killing Warriors or completing side-objectives that pop up throughout the match.

Swap in Archer and leave the gassed room.
"Your knowledge of weaponry is vast, blades even more so, and if I know correctly your magecraft will be a great asset to the endeavor I am about to attempt. I request your assistance in making a truly mighty blade."
Begin working more on my weaponry with the assistance of Archer's Reinforcement and Structural Grasp magecrafts. Infuse ice and power into the sword, deeper. Attempt to make something beyond mere mundane ice, a sort of... True Ice, perhaps.
(Can I even do this? Good question, let's find out as I use my Archer to play a Caster. God I'm so glad I fell deep into the Fate hole before this restarted. It's always fun to abuse having deep knowledge of your Articles and what they can theoretically do for you.)

I try to set up an ambush for them. But not an ambush from the front, they'd be expecting that. An ambush from behind! ..That is to say, I trail behind them, looking for a position with good cover and a good line of fire relative to them.
..But since they might be too clever to go near positions like that, Plan B is for me to just start shooting at them fifteen minutes in or whenever they see me, whichever comes first.
I've completely forgotten what my strategy was. Luckily, I don't think I had one in the first place.

Doing so today! :)
I'm trying to keep the delay shorter this time, no worries. Just got tied up in a different project on AO3 for a few days.
...Because I'm me, if you're wondering.

I don't like nailing exact dates, I almost always underestimate it. Sometime this week, hopefully!

Never listen to me when I mention dates unless they are romantic. Or romantic-adjacent.

I already have it saved! No worries, I'll add it to the OP soon.
Speaking of, sorry! I think you know the reasons. Anyway, I don't work on Holidays, so after tomorrow, start looking forward to something!

I'm adding two new mechanics to this, Valhalla, and any other Wiki-Warfares I produce in the future!
Quests and Random Encounters.
Quests are self-explanatory: they are global world events with an objective that, when completed, will give the winning player(s) an article and, in score-based gamemodes, a point.
Previously, encounters during a match were dictated by Spot Checks, Additional character sheet details, and storyline consequences. While all three still exist, I am adding the idea of Random Encounters. Per my whims and a dice roll, you will be able to run into NPCs, weapon caches, events of intrigue, abandoned mounts and vehicles, and more! Some of these may even create Quests for additional bonuses!
Let me know what you think! :)

It will not! It's another thing to add, but it should be both quick and enriching.

I am back now, though, and have a brand new Wiki-Warfare! (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=182504.0) If you had fun playing this, please check this new one out. It's set in (basically) the same setting as this one.
