48 BCE
The Library of Alexandria
Dr. Bright's first reaction to Horus taking flight is an irritated sigh before shouting "
Get down here you stupid bird thing!" He casts a dark magic spell [6+2 v 4] that tugs him down a small bit: not on the ground, but within striking distance. With that, Dr. Bright gets onto a table and leaps up to attack him with his axe and sickle. [15 v 12] [17 v 14] He manages a shallow cut through the stomach with the hatchet, and then slams the sickle through Horus's cheek. Horus is forced to the ground as Dr. Bright pulls his sickle out.
Undeterred, SAXTON pulls out his hammer and takes flight, smugly proclaiming "
Hammertime~" as he heads down to clobber Horus. [16 v 7] He slams the hammerhead into Horus's right shoulder, and dislocates it, letting it hang limply. Chen comes up from behind for a combo [2 v 9-2 (Pain)] but is kicked in the shin without looking.
Unimpressed, Jane once again "
Are you done yet Horus? Call in the rest of your pantheon already, I'm waiting." before going in with her whip. [3 v
20] Horus
grabs Jane's whip mid-throw and pulls it out of her hands, throwing it away by a table. He then
complies. With a mere wave of his left hand, he opens a Rift. Out of it appears two people: a green-skinned man wearing all white wielding two sickles, and a beautiful woman with her arms outstretched, in one hand a staff and the other an ankh, wearing a headdress resembling a basket on a house. [History Check: 16+2 (Correlation)] Jane can recognize these two. Osiris and his sister Nephthys. When Horus does this, his head turns into that of a falcon's head, and while most of his injuries don't heal, his dislocated arm does.
Rom, apathetic to this whole business, immediately tries to grab some books and leave. [Scavenge: 6] Unfortunately, by this point in the fight, the fire's spreading enough that she can't reach any. Fed up, she heads back through the Rift, emerging back at the campus.
Lily ponders to herself "
Yep, definitely foolhardiness...Certainly be useful if they happen to try to get in my way..." She runs towards the now
definitely god-like Horus and swings twice, once at his wing, and then again in the leg. [4 v 17] [4 v 16] She swings for his wings, but the maul is caught in a bubble in air. Lily pulls it out and goes for the legs, but it is again caught. Horus uses his powers to push Lily back, away from him. This time she lands on top of a table.
Wendelin sighs and replies "
Not going to answer? Mama taught me that it's impolite to ignore people you know." before carefully sneaking forward. [Stealth: 5] She is spotted by Osiris, who raises his weapons. In retaliation, Wendelin throws a fireball at Horus, [2+3 v 2] which grazes Horus's back, burning his left shoulder.
Osiris acts first of the gods, stomping towards Wendelin before swinging his sickle [
20 v 10] right into her chest. Wendelin can feel ribs cracking before it is ripped out of her and she is kicked to the ground. Nephthys goes next, and the Egyptian Goddess of the Protection of the Dead casts a shield spell on Horus, who then charges
right for Jane Smith. [11 v 12] Jane narrowly dodges, feeling one of her arms getting a shallow cut from the scimitar. Horus then declares something in what is now
clearly Ancient Egyptian. If anyone can understand it, let it be known.
BSN:
Sorry I took so long! Like I said, I was sick and a little crabby. But we're here!
Apologies for the rotten luck, going by the dice. I don't like to fudge things, and I didn't here.
