BZPRPG: Ta-Wahi

IC: Vibaya"Alright then Shady, let us depart." He suddenly threw one of his weapons fight at the Blacksmith, stabbing deep into him with violent force. And without the doctors, he would die quickly. Then Vibaya removed his weapon, and headed for the door. "If we do not find her, we will be back. If we do find her, we will be back sooner."

IC: NPC Ta-Koro Gaurds, Ta-KoroThe guard who had previously wielded the halberd lay gasping on the cobblestones, blood pouring from his wounds and forming a grisly puddle around his body. It would be less than a minute before he breathed his last.The orange-armored guard did not fire his crossbow, bur watched horrified as his companion died. The crossbowman ran, hoping to join the Matoran who had evacuated that part of the village. There were too many powerful beings here, and he wouldn't stand a chance against them.Meanwhile, the Toa of Fire drew his sword - a thick scimitar which appeared to have been recently polished - heated it, and held it in front of him. With any luck, Hatchet would impale himself on the blade.

IC: Hatchet landed on the blade, which tore and burnt his internal organs, killing him instantly.Crankcase, upon seeing his hound's murder, went into a mad rage, firing hundreds of laser beams from his eyes at the Toa of Fire.

IC: NPC Toa of FireThe Toa was hurled backwards by the intensity of the blast, and crashed into the pavement. Any being without a Toa of Fire's natural resistance to heat would have died immediately; as it was, the Toa survived but was severely weakened. His pristine red armor was now burnt black in several places. He struggled to his feet and moved towards his weapon.

IC: Crankcase was on the scene, and kicked the weapon out of reach, before hacking with his own broken blades at the Toa's face and chest.

IC: NPC Toa of Fire, Ta-KoroThe Toa tried to dodge, but couldn't escape all of Crankcase's blows, and took a long gash from his shoulder to the bottom of his ribcage. He threw a fire bolt at the Skakdi's right arm, hoping to make him drop his weapon.

IC: IrisIris and Mixmaster remained on equal footing, their respective wounds slowing, and weakening their attacks. Iris blocked Mixmaster's blows, and started to counterattack, with blows aimed at the head, neck, and torso.

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi managed to block both blows to the head and neck, but he failed to block the one to the torso. He would have been dead if it wasn't for one of his arm plates.Mixmaster returned with his own attacks. Three quick attacks alternating between his left and right sword to the body, a jab to the stomach, and a powerful blow downwards towards Iris's head and shoulder.

IC: IrisIris managed to block the body strikes, and lunged to the side to avoid the final two strikes. He stood, and went into a ready position.

IC: MixmasterMixmaster was on him in a second, swinging another power blow. He followed up with two more quick attacks.

IC: IrisIris deflected the blows, though barely. His strength had increased greatly with the abundance of cruelty present. In a desperate measure, Iris swung his broadsword at full strength. If he was lucky, it might damage one of Micmaster's blades. If he was luckier, it would damage Mixmaster.

IC: Gunner - Magma LoungeGunner smirked, "I've got the wit. Grochi's got the inane comments."-Void

IC: Raknar (Magma Lounge, Ta-Koro)"Gotta say, I find both o' ye' inane," said Raknar, clapping both of them on the back of the head. "Now quit buildin' yer resumes and look sharp. We 'ave crewmen to recruit."-Teezy

IC: Gyren smiled as he watched the mad Skakdi-beast kill itself upon the guard's blade. It seemed that his ally was preoccupied with the guard. His eyes narrowed as he sprinted madly through the battlefield towards Hatchet's corpse. The body levitated as Gyren waved his arm upwards. Gyren grabbed onto it as it floated and began running towards the Lavapool Inn. The young Toa noted the damage to Hatchet's organs as smoke rolled off the gash.

IC-Grochi:Grochi had teleported away from Raknar's strike to him, letting the captain hit Gunner twice instead. He smiled over at the Toa of Air. "I don't know, Gunner," he said doubtfully. "I really prefer to think of myself as 'insane,' not 'inane.'" Grochi smiled down at Gunner."Besides that, Gunner, at least I'm not relegated to having to blow the ship around," Grochi said, laughing.

IC: Trad woke up. He had,in his sleep, decided to go to get a drink. Next time, he cursed, get a flat. With all the amenities.After asking around, he decided to go to a bar not too far from his room. Maybe he could find someone who could supply him with information.On reaching the bar, he tapped the bartender's shoulder. "Your strongest drink, please." he asked, ignoring the amount of noise coming from a corner with two people. One of them was loudly talking about..."Being drunk?" ,muttered Trad. "What is the world coming to?"He sipped his drink. It tasted like water, but then maybe it was because of his high alcohol tolerance.OOC: Hope it's not too much.

IC: [stronin]"Oi you *hic*," said Stronin, turning to face Trad. "I charrenge *hic* you ... to drinking match!"

OOC: Muahaha, Hubert. You don't know who you're dealing with!IC: "Are you sure? You seem much too drunk now," said Trad. "Maybe when you're sober?"With that, Trad took up his glass and drank it in one gulp.

IC: [stronin]"This is first time I've *hic* been drunk," slurred the Iron Toa. "Probably *hich* cosh of the shtuff."He aggressively grabbed another glass and tipped it down his throat. "And I cansh do more than thish."

IC: Trad sighed. He hated confrontations and would do anything to try and avoid them, but hey, drinking was one of his favorite things to do, and anyway, the Toa of Iron was begging for a defeat."All right," grinned Trad. "It's on."

IC: [stronin]Tentacles burst out of Stronin's back, randomly waving around as they grabbed glasses of beer from the people around him. They converged in front of the Iron Toa's face, and the drunken being grabbed them all and began to gulp all of it down."Beatsh that."

IC: Trad smirked. He just sat there and looked at the people converging on the drunken Toa."I win by default.", he quipped as the people, angry at having their drinks stolen, began attacking the Iron Toa.

IC: [stronin]The tentacles surrounded Stronin, blocking the attacks from reaching him."REAL MEN DON'T LET THEIR MORALS GET IN THE WAY OF DRINKING CONTESTS!" he roared, grabbing another drink. "COME AT ME BRO! LET'S DO THIS!"

IC: Trad, not impressed, was silently electrifying any alcohol in his surroundings. Not including the amount in the Iron Toa's stomach. He snatched up a tankard and started gulping. Finishing it, he took up 3 more and started to throw their contents into his mouth. "Got any more?", he asked the bartender.

IC: [stronin]"Yes I do," said the bartender dryly. "Both of you are paying for this though."Stronin rapidly grabbed another drink and swallowed it, ignoring the mild shock that it gave him. "Tis good stuff."

IC: I wonder when this is going to end, grumbled the Toa of Electricity inwardly. He started gulping down any drink that he could reach and wondered whether he could get the Iron Toa to pay off the bartender.

IC: [stronin]"U mad bro?" asked the Iron Toa as he gulped down even more drinks.

IC: "You started it first.", replied Trad. "By the way, is there anybody who can provide information here?" this he addressed to the crowd surrounding them.

OOC: ... BZPower ate my post. IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi brought his sword up to block the swing, but Iris's blade passed halfway through his own. The two broad swords were stuck together for a moment.Mixmaster was stunned that anyone without a Pakari could cut through metal like that.

IC: Crankcase spun around, the firebolt missing, before continuing his furious stabbing, hacking and slashing at the Toa's legs, chest and face.

OOC: Better get this guy rollin' again.IC: DehkazA lone Toa sat at a bar, an empty drink in his armored hand. He was trying his best to ignore the two beings having a drinking contest of sorts. The Toa of Magnitism heard one of them asking for information.Why not? he asked himself, What else am I doing here?"What information do you require?" Dehkaz asked the Toa of Lightning, his deep voice slicing through the sounds of the bar.OOC: Thats you guys, Hubert and Trad.

IC: Kitsune, Ta-KoroKitsune struggled to her feet, still in terrible pain. Focusing on Crankcase, she once again lightened his gravity.

IC: IrisIris grinned, as he swung another blow at Mixmaster with all of his strength. "Now you begin to understand! Understand what you are dealing with!"

IC: MixmasterHe ducked underneath the swing, and came back up. The Skakdi hoped that Iris's momentum would carry him around, leaving his back open for Mixmaster's sword swing."Yes, but do you?"

IC:IrisIris didn't take the chance, lunging forward, and opping back to his feet in a ready stance. The grin on his face would make even a Skakdi feel inadequate. "Oh, I understand. But what you don't understand is that every time anyone in this area exhibits even the slightest bit of cruelty, I get stronger!"

IC: Mixmaster"Is that so?" he asked, replacing his broken sword with his mace.He took a step foward and swung the mace at his foe's body."Does that have anything to do with that Mark?"

IC: IrisIris blocked the srike, ensuring that the staff part of th mace would hit the blade of his sword. "Yeah. How'd ya guess?" He replied sarcastically.

IC: Mixmaster"A hunch," he said.Part of the staff of the mace was chipped, but mostly stayed together. As long as it still worked.Mixmaster attacked twice with his sword, before finishing with a powerful swing with the mace.

IC: IrisIris laughed as he deflected the blows, and caught the mace on the blade of his sword once more. Before it oculd be withdrawn, he whipped it off to the side and let loose with a devastating upward-diagonal blow across the torso.

IC: MixmasterThe Skakdi managed to block the slash with his own sword, but just barely. The two stood there for a minute, their weapons locked."Neither of us can win this fight."Mixmaster disengaged from Iris's weapon, and swung the mace again, keeping his sword up to block.
