BZPRPG: Ko-Wahi

IC Kotak:

He shrugged, "No matter."

He looked to the strange and vaguely Skakdi like creature with piercing blue eyes. His akaku adjusted and examined him, his gaze dissecting his soon to be opponent almost literally.

Large muscle mass, even for a Skakdi. Strange, chitinous natural armor, and what looked like a manas claw.

Unknown possible vision powers.

He frowned. He would have to keep that claw away. His grip tightened slightly on the Rahkshi staff.

He hoped it would hold up against claws like that.

"Where do we begin?"

IC: Veteran - Obsidian Outpost.

"The arena," he gestured to the wide, clear area in the middle of the outpost. 

IC: After having been unconscious for Great Spirit knows how long, the Toa finally woke up. He had been somewhere on Mount Ihu, but he finally could descend from the icy mountain, now heading towards Ko-Koro.

Now, he stands before the walls of Ko-Koro, waiting for access into his former home.

IC: Crab

Crab stared down the Kopaka Wannabe. Ko-Toa, which means he has ice powers. Ah well, he was gonna die anyway, might as well do it in the cold. "Fine. Make it quick "Kopaka."

IC: Tjuran did not recognize this place to be his home. He looked around and asked: "...What has happened to my home?" He could only remember the invasion of the Rakshi and... and...? Is Makuta gone...? He could not tell what had happened to his memories.

IC: Khil'rayu (Ko-Koro)

The tip of my activated sword comes to rest on the back of this Toa's neck, ready to slice through it in an instant. "You got past the guards." My impact vision begins powering up. "Move and a blade goes through your neck."

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

"I thought I was the pacifist here," Ayar says mock-indignantly. "And I'd like to be able to join the organisation before evening, boys, so if you'd get on with it that'd be nice- I'm not getting any younger here," she continues.

OOC: That Toa in Khil'rayu's post would be Tjuran. Welcome to the BZPRPG and Ko-Koro, hive of villainy and general scumbags!

IC Kotak:

His eyes narrowed, and his voice became as cold as the winds of Mt. Ihu.

"Do not compare me to that weak fool."

Kopaka had died, as part if a team, down in Mangaia. Kotak had gone alone, and survived.

His cloak ruffled as he hopped over the railing and into the arena.

IC: Crab

Crab followed, cracking his neck and tensing his claws.

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

The twilit Fe-Toa continues waiting.

IC: Veteran.

"Get on with it, then." 

IC: Tjuran kept his calm, not even slightly moving his neck and said: "Who are you, and why do you do this? Shouldn't we all be fighting the Rakhshi?" Tjuran could only wait, believing that starting a scene would trigger... something, anything bad, really. This was not the time to start a fight.

IC: Xaru'Ka

Xaru'Ka's gun was up in a second, against the new Toa's head. She could fire a thorny spike through his head at any moment. "You're new here, so I'm gonna give you a quick recap before I kill you. Ko-Koro has fallen to the Legacy (AKA Makuta worshippers.). All of you Mata Nui worshipping scum have left, or were killed, by us. So, in conclusion, get ready to die."

IC: Crab

Crab charged at Kotak, his claw raised to slam into him.

IC: Tjuran had finally learned the truth, but surprisingly didn't even get surprised. "My only -and only- duty is to protect Ko-Koro. If you are in charge, so be it. I never had any relation to either Mata Nui or Makuta, only reason why Makuta was my enemy is because his Rakshi army threatened my home."

Tjuran paused for a while and said: "As long as the citizens can live, it is enough."

It was almost as if Tjuran didn't really care about who rules, even though he is a Toa. "So, tell me, what shall I do?"

IC Kotak:

So it began. The icy warrior dashed left away from the charge, swinging the flat of the bladed staff in a wide arc at Crab's head.

The creature had done him no wrong beyond comparing him to.... Him. And although annoying, the similarities were not invalid.

He did not aim to kill him.

IC: Mortem - Ko-Koro

I have left Dayeth, heading down the streets once more in search of Dravennica or Khil'rayu...I skirt along the inside of the Great Wall as I did before.

IC: Crab

Crab was short enough to just dodge the blade. He span round, charging at Icy again.

IC: Khil'rayu (Ko-Koro)

"How about, say nothing, keep your hands together and walk over to the Sanctum like a good li'l boy so we can throw you in the dungeon have you interrogated, SPY?"

IC Kotak:

He raised his shield, letting Crab ram into him, sending ice out from the shield to trap hi against it as he had with the Rahkshi.

His Staff was too long at this range. He holstered it, drawing his short sword and stabbing at Crab's chest.

IC: Crab

Crab was frozen into place by the ice. His chest then felt a sharp horrible pain, as he was impaled by the sword. He just waited, hoping he could die sooner.

IC Kotak:

He pulled back on his sword, sealing the wound in ice as he went. The idea was to win, not kill, after all.

He absorbed the ice on his shield, pivoted on his left foot, and hooked a kick at the side of Crab's left knee with his right leg.

IC: Crab

Crab fell over, not even trying anymore. He just wanted to die.

IC Kotak: He stepped forward, placing his blade at Crab's throat.

"Do you surrender?"

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

The Fe-Toa leapt to her feet, ready to, if necessary, seal Crab up. She glanced at Veteran, a questioning look to see if the trial was over.

IC Kotak: He stepped forward, placing his blade at Crab's throat.

 

"Do you surrender?"

IC: Crab

"Just kill me you icy fool." Crab said, closing his eyes.

IC Kotak:

His blade wavered.

He could easily end him. Cut his throat, or stab his heart, or impale him with ice.

Killing him would be easy.

So very easy.

He raised the blade from his throat.

Uttered a single word.

"No."

He turned away, with a whoosh of his cloak, looking to the Skakdi called Veteran.

"It is over."

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

"Okay then, here we go again," Ayar began, walking over to Crab and crouching next to him. "People, grab a stretcher and take him inside- I'm not having this... thing catching a fever and me having to nurse him for weeks. Come on!"

IC: Crab

Crab shot up, looking at Kotak. "I said, KILL ME." 

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

"This is going a lot less smoothly than I'd hoped for. Now then-" Ayar grabbed Crab's head and stared into his eyes, her lime green ones drilling unflinchingly into his. "Why do you want to die?"

IC Kotak:

He turned back to Crab, sheathing his blade, and holding out his hand to help him up.

"I won't."

IC: Crab
", are you blind or just dumb. I refuse to be this monster anymore."

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

Ayar took a step back. 

"But what kind of monster do you believe yourself to be?" the healer said softly. "Is it your appearance, or your past?"

IC: Crab

"Both." Crab said, getting up himself. "I don't need your help, just let me bleed out, and I'll be out of your way."

IC Kotak:

He frowned, scooping up his staff as the other two argued.

The being would bleed out if he didn't get medical attention.

"Apologies."

He smacked the being in the back of the head with the edge of his shield.

IC: Crab

Crab turned his head when a hard object hit his head, rolling his eyes into his head and making him collapse.

IC Kotak:

He caught the collapsing form, glancing apologetically at Ayar.

"Where do you need him?"

IC: Ayar (Obsidian)

Ayar winced as the shield connected with Crab's head. "Just in the infirmary would be great."

IC: Now Tjuran knew enough. Before entering the Koro, he had scanned the area wirh his X-Ray vision, and knew the cable cart was still in place.

He smacked both of the guards with his shield, at a massive speed with the help of his jets and strength, using the familiar ice to his advantage, followed by dropping the shield and using the jets as a motor, he went at full speed to slide the cable down to Ta-Koro.

This is what Tjuran had trained for so long, planning an escape plan outside the Koro in worst-case scenario.

But there was a flaw: his back completely exposed to any ranged attacks. Just in case Tjuran crouched down and took a tight grip on his "snowboard".

OOC: Hi Tokuban, welcome to the BZPRPG A few things about your last post: Firstly, saying that your character actually hit another character (in this case the guards) is an Autohit, which is against the rules. This is because you need to give the other player a chance write their character's reaction, not write the reaction for them.

Secondly, Makuta Miras's character, Khil'rayu, and SharkeyDane's character, Xaru'ka, would likely not let Tjuran escape so easily, so you also need to give them time to react, instead of travelling quite a distance without giving any other characters a chance.

Finally, the cable car station isn't actually in Ko-Koro itself, but instead in Obsidian Outpost, some way from the koro. It needs a toll to get across, and is incidentally inhabited by mercenaries. I hope this helps  

IC: Mortem - Ko-Koro

I continue, my long strides covering Ko-Koro's permafrost ground quickly.

OOC: Indeed, to clarify some things from my side:

1. I autohit only because of the advantages that Tjuran had, as explained. One that wasn't mentioned in that post is the fact that both of the guards were literally "blade-to-neck" distance, giving Tjuran (who is a pure warrior except his blaster is a range weapon) even greater of an advantage. What I also basically couldn't add is that of course they could block/dodge it, the meaning was simply to "start the action"

2. As said, his back is completely exploited (and his front too I guess) so indeed, he most likely isn't getting out unharmed. This is gonna hurt.... And I don't know if I gave the wrong impression, he is on the way to the cable, not on the cable already.

3. Well, that's my memory for you. I guess he is going through even more trouble...

Hope that clarified things, I will try to be more detailed on my future posts

Edit: oh, and, why I didn't write it so detailed this time is because I got eyedrops today, so I can barely see what I am typing, so I tried to make it as short as possible (this I made carefully so there wouldn't be confusion between players, which is very bad in RP.)

OOC:

What I also basically couldn't add is that of course they could block/dodge it, the meaning was simply to "start the action"

Except the thing is, you should never autohit, and even if you do, it should only be something small- this is a full-blown escape. TL;DR, no you can't autohit, no matter what advantages your character might have. A better way to do that would be to say something like "He made to bash the guards with his shield. Thanks to his enhanced strength, they wouldn't have much time to dodge." That way, you're telling us what Tjuran's doing, and you're telling us how quickly he's doing it and if it's realistic or not to dodge, without it being an autohit.

So? He's snowboarding through a city full of evil people, and then he's going most of the way across the Wahi. That's too far to be going in one post.
 

he is on the way to the cable, not on the cable already.

Obsidian Outpost is on the other side of the Wahi; Ihu is between it and Ko-Koro, so he can't have found it using his Akaku.

One last thing: 

 

 

 his blaster is a range weapon

He has a blaster? Blasters are foreign tech, which Toa aren't allowed to have. If you mean a Patero Launcher though, that's fine. Sorry if this post sounded a bit scathing, but I'm only trying to help.

IC: Khil'rayu (Ko-Koro)

I keep my blade steady.
